Who: ochako and co.

Warnings: nah

a. the polite way

[Ochako has never collected honey in her life, but.... how difficult can it really be? She's seen cartoons! She knows what a beehive looks like! (Spoiler alert: Ochako has no idea what a beehive really looks like.)

So instead of doing any research at all, Ochako messages a handful of people, grabs a small jar from her kitchen cabinets, and heads to the edge of the forest to wait. She's just, you know, loitering there, idly tossing the jar from one hand to the other, until she spots one of her friends making their way over to her.]

Hey! [She waves excitedly, leaving the jar just... floating right in front of her. Neat.] Are you ready to go?

bee. the rude way (aka thank u, ghost, for reminding me that b is bee)

[Even if Ochako didn't message you, that doesn't mean you're safe. Maybe she knows you? Maybe she doesn't? It's not like it matters! As she wanders around town, if she spots anyone who looks like they're not doing anything particularly important... well, she's going to walk right up to them with a smile.]

You're not busy, are you? Because there's a ton of honey out there waiting for us to gather it up! Let's go!

[Sorry, mystery character, but you don't have a say in the matter! Any reluctance will be met with her sliding her arm through yours and tugging you right the heck along.]

c. wildcard!

[HIT ME WITH ANYTHING!! I will roll with whatever you send my way. Alternatively, feel free to chat with me over at

tuchanka!!]

[You know, by the time she hits the treeline and pauses to catch her breath, Ochako isn't sure how much worse things can really get? Her sides are aching, she's feeling pretty darn nauseous, and the bees that followed her are angrily avoiding her many attempts to swat them away. All in all: 2/10, would not do again.

But then she sees poor Cairn shuffling her way, and she realizes that her worries are tiny in comparison. Oooooh, boy. She straightens back up, forcing herself to keep the nausea at bay, because it is time... for the blind to lead the blind.]

I won't! But go more to the right, okay? The right! Just don't go—ah! [There's a shrill yelp as she's, you know, stung by a rude fuckin' bee, but she recovers as quickly as she can.] D-Don't go too far that way!

[When she's positive that Cairn isn't on track to collide with anything, she begins carefully moving and calling out for Cairn to hear her. She's making sure to find THE largest spaces between trees that she possibly can, but dear Lord, she hopes those bees covering Cairn fly away at a much quicker pace than they currently are.]

[ Well, this is definitely not one of the best ideas they've ever had. They pry open an eye at her yelp, glad to see there isn't some enormous bee or something like that that scared her, but this situation still sucks. Cairngorm is quite quick on their feet, even when running partially blind, so it seems that some of the bees give up on trying to stay on their trail, gradually coming off of them the farther they run.

By the time they've listened closely enough and gotten in her vicinity, it's okay for them to open their eyes again. There's still maybe ten of those little bees buzzing around them, trying to sting them and getting nowhere, but they continuously swat at them while they walk into the clearing she'd landed in. ]

Ugh. [ They brush off their shoulder, making a face as the bees they'd disturbed by doing so buzz around their head. ] You better have gotten everything you needed.

[ Because they so dearly never want to submit themself to that again. ]
