camp vargas! ~spring happening~ 2-3 "fishing's all about"

[mandytl]

Location: Dwarfs’ Mine - Lakeside

Jack: There. I’ve baited the hook. Now to drop the line.

Deuce: Right!

Plunk…

Deuce: ...Nothing’s biting.

Jack: It’s not gonna be that easy. Fishing’s all about sitting and waiting.

At least, that’s what fishing for smelts was like back home.

Deuce: Hmm. That’s what it’s about, huh…

Jack: Oh? Hey, Deuce. There’s a bunch of fish moving around your fishing line…

Deuce: You’re right. Now, if one of them would just bite…

Grim: Heeey! Deuce, Jack!

Splash, splash!

Deuce: Ah, all the fish…

Jack: Grrr… Our catch got away thanks to you!

Grim: W-Whatever! It’s your fault for suckin’ at fishing!

> How many have you caught?

Deuce: … Zero so far.

> How’s it going?

Deuce: You could say we’ve… barely even started.

Deuce: Be real quiet for us, okay, Grim?

Grim: Ain’t got much of a choice, huh. All right.

But are you really gonna catch anything just starin’ at the lake like that?

You oughta wiggle the line around like it’s a real fish.

Gimme the pole for a sec! I’ll show ya how it’s done.

See! Do it like this and it’ll be a piece of cak…

Splash, splash!

Grim: Oh. The fish got away…

Deuce & Jack: GRIM!

Grim: W-What? I was just tryin’ to help…—hm?

Whoa, check out that freakin’ huge shadow in the lake!

Deuce: That’s… a fish, right? Headed our way.

It’s big enough to feed everyone in Track and Field. We’ve totally gotta catch it, Jack!

Jack: Y-Yeah… Though isn’t it a little… too big?

Bubble bubble bubble…

Deuce: S-Something’s rising to the surface…

SPLASH!!

Everyone: ?!?!?!

Floyd: Huh? It’s Mackerel-chan and Urchin-chan… and even Seal-chan and Shrimpy-chan. Whatcha up to?

Deuce: L-Leech-senpai?! No, what’re you up to?

Floyd: The challenge, naturally. I mean, I was hungry, so why not.

But sitting around just waiting on a line to bob is stupid boring. Diving in to catch the fish yourself is waaay more fun.

…Oh, yeah. I was busy hunting down my prey. Bye, guys.

Splash!!

Grim: There he goes…

Jack: Is that legal…?

Deuce: We keep getting interrupted. I’ll catch the next one for sure!

Splash!!

Deuce: Ugh. What is it now?!

Jack: Someone threw a rock at us.

Look! Over there!

Deuce: …A faerie?

I don’t get what it’s saying, but I can tell it’s making fun of us.

I’m sick of all these disruptions. Let’s wring their necks, Jack!

Jack: Yeah!
