[Okay, that's rude, but weather is obviously just insulting them today. GOD MUST HATE THEM(.mp3)]

If our oxen refuse to move, we are stuck here either way! [This is dumb. Maybe if they... shield the oxen with something... that can also move...

let him rummage through their stuff, hang on]


Do we have a thick blanket to spare? They do not like being hit, so—

[So do any of you see where this is going because it's an ox tent. He is running out of ideas.]

[an ox tent.... Arthur just kind of pitifully rummages around one-armedly, but at the very least, he knows he's seen one and he produces it a moment later. Kind of. Awkwardly.

Doing things with one arm is difficult okay.]


So you want to cover them with this?

[He doesn't really have a better idea, so he's not even going to question it anymore.]
incendiarism: (they'll rez after the weekly dose of hel)

[The thunder and lightning was no big deal, but that wind? That's a little more concerning without the ability to fly.]

Tie them tighter to the wagon, while you're at it, so they don't get loose.

[He glances around the wagon, getting up to look for rope.]

And maybe tie everything else down, too, before we all get blown away.

[heh.... tricked u nerds into doing work]

[But really, Canute is glad for the help. He's not an ox wrangler. He'll take the blanket from Arthur - thanks broken peon - and daringly climbs out of the wagon to go attempt something useful with it.]


—Tie down what we need...

[If only they had kept the clock. It weighs a ton, nothing could move it...!!!

man this ox tent is going real well]
