video or action for theater

[screen flickers on, showing an intense looking Michiru who's...wearing a bathrobe, a towel around her head, and looking kinda damp. She also has a wet Bidoof by the scruff, held close to the camera and as far away from her body as possible. Judging by that uneven blinking, Bidoof might be shaking off the last vestiges of a sudden KO.]

Is anybody looking for a side job? I'll pay you to babysit this one, by the hour, for as many hours as you'd like.

[Bidoof wiggles, swinging a bit from Michiru's steely grip.] Doof.

[Michiru's smile could probably kill, if she put a little bit more effort into it.]

[there's enough silk that even Brad notices that he's not actually getting anywhere.]

Doof!! [you can't treat him like this! He's the cutest doof ever!

There's a pathetic sort of wiggle, and then he's gonna try to roll his way out the door.]

[actsmagnificent]

Joooll! [ Oh, no, that didn't stop him! They're trying to stop him, right?

Gold looks to Natto for confirmation, but Natto is staring in dismay, unable to believe that his plan didn't work. Perhaps the two of them just aren't cut out for deviousness...

So it must be up to Gold! Off he bounds after the rolling beaver. Come back! ] Jolte eeee!

[incousinswithyou]

[nope. Too slow, Gold, even if you are supposed to be super fast. Brad's on...a roll. Right down the stairs.]

Dooooooooooooooooo....

[actsmagnificent]

[ Whoa! The stairs! Gold skids to a stop (more like "collapses in a heap") just in time to avoid falling down them, Natto coming up behind him to observe. This is turning out very oddly, isn't it? ] Leav.

[ Gold turns to his Helper Senpai. Do you think they should do anything? ] Ee?

[ Natto puts a "hand" to his chin. This should still buy their Trainer some time. Gold can keep an eye on the beaver if he'd like, but it'd be awful if by trying to impede it, they made an even worse mess of the hallways. And yet....Natto doesn't want Brad to have gotten hurt because of him.... ] Leava lea.

[ And thus, the pair stares from the stairs. Just to make sure Brad's okay. ]

[incousinswithyou]

[and Brad comes to a stop with a flump. There's no movement for a good minute or two, but soon enough, his paws are twitching again.]

[actsmagnificent]

[ Gold and Natto sigh in unison: thank goodness. Though...wasn't there something Natto was supposed to be doing? ]

Lea!! [ The baby! Gold, is it okay if he leaves this to you? Natto wants to check with the other usual babysitters to make sure everyone's prepared for an extended stretch of watching Minuet!

Gold nods: that baby is a national treasure. So off rushes Natto to tend to the child, while Gold tries to sneak down the steps to keep watching Brad. Slowly...

slowly... ]

[incousinswithyou]

[at least it's naptime for eggbaby. Or at least, it should be naptime.

Gold really doesn't need to sneak. Brad is happily oblivious to anything and wiggles forward, trying to get that momentum going again.]

[actsmagnificent]

[ Good luck, Brad. You'll even have a chance to get a head start: Gold, impressed by Brad's tenacity, misses a step and comes tumbling down the last few stairs. Ow. Ow. Which of his paws is which? ] Jolt....

[ He might need to lie here for a bit. ]

[incousinswithyou]

[it's hard going, what with the silk sticking to the floor. Brad inches forward as much as he can, and then gives up and uses those impressive buckteeth to pull himself forward.

Man, does the theater insurance cover for doof damage?]

[actsmagnificent]

[ Gold watches this incredible display, feeling his own teeth with the tip of his tongue. He could never do that. That's...wow.

So, while he doesn't plan on doing anything that would speed up Brad's progress towards his Trainer, he does come up to Brad again just to check. Are you sure you don't need any help? ] Jol jol?

[incousinswithyou]

Brooof...! [Brad is not at all aware of your presence, Gold. Sorry. You could probably go, get a snack, come back, and he'd still be here.]

[actsmagnificent]

[ ....This appears to be well in hand (in paw? In silk? In tooth? In doof?). Gold nods. Well, just, uh, doof loudly if you need him. He'll go check on that baby now, make sure she's sleeping okay. And if you could ask before coming over next time, that would be great! Trainer and Trainer's Trainer are super nice as long as you ask for things the right way. ] Jolt. Jolteon jol jol! Eeee.

[ Satisfied, and not at all thinking Brad may have no idea what just happened, he prances off. Trainer and Trainer's Trainer will have a great head start like this! And he gave good advice to someone he's sure means well, but is going about things the wrong way! Life is pretty good.

If you're Gold, anyway. ]
