ok

action now?????

[bauhinia]

see you in ten

[ Time to zoom out the door.

Well, not before he makes himself handsome in the mirror for a few minutes.... ]

[ Iceland will be ready! He doesn't bother making himself look too nice since he's going to be bundled up. Just because he's used to the cold doesn't mean his impervious to it!

At ten minutes exactly, Iceland will be waiting outside the front door for his ride. ]

[ Hong Kong is practically invisible under his weirdly assorted layers, so it's a mystery as to why he went to the trouble to try and look nice (though he does somehow manage to look nice). Either way, he's pulling up to Iceland's house about 12 minutes after his text. ]

[volcanic]

[ Don't bother getting out of your car, Honkers, Iceland will come to you. Surely a first in their interaction!

He doesn't say anything. Just gets in and buckles up. ]

[bauhinia]

Hey. [ Hong Kong will break the silence after Iceland's (surprising!) appearance. Somehow this feels like a very symbolically important moment.... ]

[volcanic]

...Hey. [ Iceland just wants to see the puffins!!! ]

[bauhinia]

[ They're going! Off at an unhealthy speed to see the puffins.... ] Thanks for coming with me. If anyone will know if something's wrong, I know it'll be you.

[volcanic]

[ Tensing up!! WHY DO YOU DRIVE SO FAST. ] You should do a better job taking care of them.

[bauhinia]

I've been doing my best, but I don't have someone to take care of them full-time, so I have to hit a lotta different exhibits every day.

[volcanic]

What? No one takes care of them? [ Selective hearing... ]

[bauhinia]

Yeah, I do- but not full-time. [ He's sort of hip to Iceland's meaning, but also sort of lost. ]

[volcanic]

Why aren't you hiring more people? [ Deeply offended no one is there to properly watch his seabird friends!! ]

[bauhinia]

I've been trying. [ He can't make people take jobs.... ]

[volcanic]

I can't believe it. Someone has to take care of them.

[bauhinia]

Yeah, you're right. [ No argument here! ]

[volcanic]

[ HUFFS INDIGNANTLY

But just wait until they arrive at the zoo. Just wait. ]

[bauhinia]

[ He can hear you over there, huffing away, Mr. Iceland.

Either way, the rest of the ride could very well pass in silence if Iceland lets it.... ]

[volcanic]

[ Well gee! We all know much of a talker Iceland is...

Look man he just wants to see the puffins. ]

[honcho]

[and brt he will! considering he's, you know, in the house. the president answers the door, holding it wide for his newcomer. and just to make sure—]

Yooo. You're the fireworks guy, yeah? [not that he's especially concerned should he not be, though...]
