strawberrypunch | OVERFLOW; Recollé

[Aww, now he looks disappointed. He really, really needs this one.]

Please?

[Help a dude out!!]

[No way! No way no way now way- ]

...What are we racing for?

A bingo.

[Simple and straight to the point. But it sounds like he needs more convincing, so, uh...]

...Strawberry milk?

[Okay, he's getting one as well!]

I'm not trying to fill my card, but it'd be unmanly not to help when I get asked! I'll buy you some ice cream if I lose!

[Score!]

Deal.

[And now he'll return to relieving that pillow of its cover, handing it over to Alan once he's done - and then grabbing another for himself. Are you ready for this.]

[He takes the cover with a thanks and then steps into it with one foot, looking for whether Tatsuma is going to put his second into his cover as well or not.]

Team Red's ready!

[And once his feet are in the cover:]

Ready. On the count of three?

Alright. Three!

[and off he goes! ....just to trip and fall three hops in. Sometimes bad deeds get punished right away.]

[Tatsuma's hops are a bit more controlled, so he'll just keep! Hopping! Along!!

...

They probably should've determined a goal of some sort.]

Whoa! Not fair! [That says the right one.

Cutter scrambles to get back into the cover and gives chase in the form of hurried small hops that basically work with him pulling one leg up as high as he can within the cover's restraints and then leaping one-legged with the other.

It's not exactly beauty nor graze, but he is fast enough that way that he is sure that he can shortcut around Tatsuma toward the goal and -wait, what's the goal again?? Eh, who cares, he'll just follow Tatsuma's lead until they come toward what seems like it could be it!]

I'm on to you!

[Just keep hopping, just keep hopping, just keep hopping...

Uuuuntil he abruptly stops at the end of the bed.]

Goal?

Wha- Don't just suddenly stop!

[You know what happens when a car in front of another suddenly stops real hard? Yeah, they're doing the human version of that. Cutter curses with a yelp as he rams Tatsuma from behind when his attempt to stop asap only ends with tangling the cover around his feet and the momentum pushes both toward the mattress.]

Whoa--

[Aaaaaaand right onto the bed they crash. Tatsuma is at least able to get his hands up to further cushion his fall, but now his legs are tangled up in his pillowcase and he's trapped under Alan.

H e l p?]

[Cutter crawls atop of him with a laugh, quickly shoving a hand under his jacket (or in case he isn't wearing one, his shirt) and making a big gesture of pretending to pull something out of it.]

I got you bro! The bee's out!

[Leaning closer, he lowers his voice and whispers in an excited voice]

Trouble heading our way at 4 o'clock, looks like either a store detective or a cop in civil. Get your running game on if you don't want to answer some questions!

[With that he is off and running for the exit - without the cover.]

[And then then there is a hand up his shirt.

Just as he's puzzling out this turn of events, Alan gives his excellent advice and begins to book it, giving Tatsuma time to sort himself out again before kicking the pillowcase off of his legs and shoving off from the bed. The transition from that leap and into a sprint after Alan is actually kind of impressive; too bad it's being wasted on running from mall cops.]

[Cutter laughs loudly as he keeps running, leaping over a small bench in his way and then making for the moving stairway.]

Hide or run till they can't see us anymore?!

[Mind the small fountain short before the end of the stairs, it's not deep but wet.]

[Athletics once again come to his rescue as he clears the bench and stops short of a very wet trip into the fountain.]

Run!

[Last thing they need is to get stuck surrounded by people searching for them!]

[His grin widens into an excited smirk that has a dark edge at that answer. Cutter ups the speed once more, dodging past people and cutting corners as if his life depended on it.]

Try to keep up!

[He doesn't answer, focusing instead on following Alan. His reflexes aren't bad at all, and especially with Alan as an example of where to jump and run first, he manages to keep up pretty well.

The voices calling for them to stop are fading. If they can just get out of their sights...]

Hey! You're not bad at all! But can you also copy this?

[He flanks over a wall, lands, rolls off and does a series of leap-jumps across some decorative ornaments and a bicycle stand, showing off his body control and (still very beginner) parkour skills.]

...Umm...

[That's... way out of his skill level! So while he does jump the wall, he'll just continue running normally the rest of the way.

~~Wait until he gets his jumping powers back, he'll try harder then.~~]

You're good.

Haha, thanks-! [He ditches his ~~showing off~~ acrobatics to fall in stride next to Tatsuma instead.]

I've been doing martial arts since I was a kid and have been practicing my running, landing and dodging skills nonstop ever since I got retrospect! You're not bad yourself!

Do you think we lost them?

[He nods at Alan's explanation, though it may be difficult to see what with. Running.

He does glance back behind them as they run however, listening for the shouts from before. He doesn't hear anything, so he'll begin to slow to a jog.]

I don't see them...

[And from the jog, he trails into a walk. Seems they made it!]

[Cutter slows down as well when he notices that Tatsuma does, breath heavily but with a bright grin on his face.]

Aww, that was fun! What are we gonna do next?!

Hmmm...

[He checks his phone.]

Do you have other bingos?
