"All right, guys, while we let Sierra and Elise figure out that situation over there," he gestured toward the nest mess that was Elise's head, "we're going to start pygmy puff bowling."
Yes, that was right: pygmy puff bowling. "Now then, over there," he gestured over his shoulder with his thumb to a section of the barn they hadn't yet explored, "I've sent up a small bowling alley for you and your puffs to try. The catch is: I have no bowling balls. The BALLS are going to be YOUR pygmy puffs!"
Williamson beamed at them proudly, as if this idea was just SO genius. Heh. "Don't worry about hurting them; I'm about as big an animal rights activist as you can find." Totally true. "AND I've charmed the floor to be squishy soft, like a carpet made of moss. Same goes for the bowling pins." The pins actually felt more like stiff mattresses or foam pillows than anything.
"Your puffs will enjoy rolling down the lane, trust me, I've already tested it out with Nacho." William plucked the puff down from his head and moved over to the area where about five bowling lanes were set up. "Pair up with a few people and see how good you can do. Make sure to explain to your pygmy puff what's going on, so that they can help you win. Puffs are good at controlling their rolls, and if you're nicer to them, you just might have a better chance of getting a strike."
He smiled around at them all and waited for the blank stares to subside. "Any questions? If not, you may begin!" And maybe then he'd go help the nesting head puff girl thing.
Arrgggh! Did WWW have to constantly point out every move she made like he was some sort of Quidditch announcer or something? Sierra slightly narrowed her eyes but otherwise made no other moves. Well, other than dangling the lettuce in front of the Pygmy Puff's face, that is. Text Cut: iceblossom22 Quote:

Watching Sierra get up and walk away, Elise's eyes widened. Was she just... GIVING UP?! But Elise wanted to play the puff games! Hearing her saying something about going to get the lettuce, Elise shook her head in an attempt to get it off. Its claws just tightened their grip on her hair. Painful.
Honey thought that they were just being funny. Yay! Funny people with nests on their heads. FluffFluffFluff! Oh, the black nest girl was walking away? What about her food?! She was dangling it, SO FAR AWAY! Sticking out her tongue as far as it could go, Honey tried to grab the lettuce. Maybe it was a game! That's fun! Not being able to reach, Honey did the puff equivalent of a shrug, shuddering slightly and cozy-ing itself into its new nest. She wasn't hungry anyway.
...
What?! So the Puff didn't even care about the lettuce?! Sierra's jaw dropped, and she gave the creature a 'how dare you' look. She glared at it then shrugged, as well. "Guess it only likes lettuce rather than loves it," she commented. Text Cut: BanaBatGirl Quote:

"Elise, I'm going to do you a huge favor, here, and separate your pygmy puff from your head. You're going to have to hold still, though." William gave the girl a grim face and flicked out his wand, standing back and rolling up his sleeves a bit.
He took a breath and then pointed his wand at the pygmy puff. "AGUAMENTI!" the man cast loudly, sternly, directing the blast of water that came jetting out of his wand straight at the crazy, nesting puff. His PLAN was that the water would catch the pygmy off guard and cause it to lose its grip on the girl's hair, then he would swoop in and scoop the puff up up and away.
So that's what Willy did: he went in for the swooping, aiming to just snatch that pygmy --- Honey, or Money, or whatever her name was --- off of poor Elise's hair....
Well if Sierra had known she could have blasted the creature off Elise's face with a jet of water, she'd have done that long ago! It would have been much more fun, too! Who wouldn't have loved seeing a harmless, innocent creature tortured by a blast of water? It would have been hilarious...
Losing interest quickly, though, she shrugged and turned around. "Anyone still need another group member?" she asked. Bowling a creature into a pin? This had to be awesome!
