[Action at 456 Stone st]

[If you happen to live on Stone st, or just pass by, you'll find Hungary muddied to the knees, garden gloves on and shovel hard at work. There is a pile of dirt on one side, and unplanted bulbs waiting their turn.]

Stupid jerk got himself droned for good. [She gives the shovel a swift, hard dig as she mutters] sticking me with a small zoo in the house the stupid drone won't even take care of.

[Perhaps this would put an end to the perpetual and continuous destruction of her flower garden for good...]

[Over at 457 Stone Street, Doctor Doofenshmirtz is out surveying his own yard, glaring suspiciously at every inch of it. It was just short of needing to be mowed, but liable to get there at any moment.]

I'm going to need to make some sort of... Mowinator, I can't be expected to keep up on this own my own. Bah!

[The yard was disgusting him. But what was that, across the street? No drone would dare be seen digging in their garden with that much grumbling and muttering.

Better go check this out. Out across the street, over to the yard, hands in pockets looking casual...]

So!

[Awkward cough.]

You're a real person doing real gardening. Right?

And I'm real pissed off... [The muttering gives away to surprise once the words sinks in, and she looks up apologetically.]

Oh I'm sorry! I didn't mean to snap at you.

[doofenstrudel]

Don't I know the feeling...

[He snorts, rolls his eyes, and waves dismissively.]

Bah, you call that snapping? You'd hardly win a snapping competition with snapping like that! You need to put more anger into it!

[muskatli.livejournal.com]

Does that come with stomping my feet and waving my arms?

[doofenstrudel]

It would be a start! Bold gestures! Forcefulness! That's what you need if you want to enter the world of competitive snapping!

[Ayup. He's... being serious.]

It's a thing.

[She kicks at the dirt with some emphasis, getting some on her stained boots.] Too bad it won't help me with the garden afterwards.

[doofenstrudel]

Unless there is prize money, and you can hire gardners!

...I mean, you don't seem to be having much fun, here.

[muskatli.livejournal.com]

I'm not supposed to. I'm trying to vent.

So I won't end up hurting someone else.

[doofenstrudel]

Oh. Well then.

[Awkward... she may not be a drone, but she's still weirding him out.]

Keep up the... good work?

[Sloooowly backing away towards his own house...]

[muskatli.livejournal.com]

I'll let you know how it goes.
