002 Buckethead

[speterman]

Guys, I think ittle Nova hates me. Maybe he and Hulk are brothers or something because I'm pretty sure he's making every attempt he can on my life, and my shins!

This is what I get for letting my goat play with all the other goats.

...Now you're just making this even more awkward than it should be...

Come on, aren't you supposed to help younger students out? Look at me, I'm an adorable younger student. Save my shins, Brucey.

[greenmoonrising]

I'm an awkward kind of guy.

You're not physically in danger, at risk of failing classes, or causing unnecessary trouble - this is one of those occasions where the older student isn't obligated to help out.

Try wearing a helmet when you headbutt Nova!

[greenmoonrising]

Also, don't call me Brucey.

[speterman]

[There's a long delay.]

What does that even mean?

I AM in physical danger what if he headbutts me and I fall and break something?

[greenmoonrising]

He's a kid - if you break something we have a great Hospital Wing.

[speterman]

I'm starting to think you're enjoying my discomfort.

[greenmoonrising]

Nah, I just think you're overreacting. Do you really think Professor Mercer would've assigned something especially dangerous to students?

And for Pete's sake, they're baby goats, not dragons.

[speterman]

My sake, nothing!

Then why won't you do it? If they're just baby goats.

I would headbutt your goat for you. That's what friends are for.

[greenmoonrising]

Because that goat is your responsibility - so you're the one who needs to headbutt him if he needs a lesson in manners.

Hulk headbutts everything enough to last him several lifetimes.

[speterman]

You know I already headbutted the goat right?

[greenmoonrising]

I figured as much, but you seemed to be having fun talking/writing. Is he behaving himself?

[speterman]

I am having fun, this is fun.

Yeah, he is, he started doing goat stuff so I let him at it. I'm actually sat in front of Hulk right now.

[greenmoonrising]

Are you sure that's a good idea? He might decide to brain you.

[speterman]

Perfect idea. I think he's starting to like me just a little bit.

They're not baby dragons, remember?

[greenmoonrising]

That's good then. Give him a pat on the head for me then. :)

[speterman]

.. We haven't gotten that far into our friendship yet.. I think he's going to need more carrots for head pets.

[greenmoonrising]

Try not to feed him too much or he'll puke on your shoes - if you're not far enough in your friendship for head pats you're DEFINITELY not friendly enough for ruined footwear.

[speterman]

I won't, I won't, sheesh, you act like I don't know what I'm doing.

[greenmoonrising]

You're not a goat expert - your point?

[speterman]

How do you know I'm not a goat expert?

[greenmoonrising]

You couldn't handle Nova when he was attacking your shins.

[speterman]

That's because Nova is a little git.

[greenmoonrising]

Kid, actually.

[speterman]

Hush up.
