[parodeity]

Well, yeah. You wouldn't notice me gone at all. [ he'd just go solo himself and then loop back. ]

[windeity]

[He considers this for a moment.] What if something happens to you?

[parodeity]

Then I'd deal with it? [ a shrug. ] I would rather look with you than wander around alone.

[windeity]

I think I like that idea better, too. We probably have to fly to another higher level.

[parodeity]

[ there's a tiny quirked smile. ] Up we go, then. I'm pretty sure if I don't go first I'll get a full view, btw. [ loincloths... ] ...Also, I think I like you normal-you muscular better.

[windeity]

Ugh. Just remember this was your idea, not mine. A loincloth is definitely not my style. After you then? [He's poking an arm in discontent though. Muscles =\]

[parodeity]

Yep. [ and off they go!!

if the forest is magical and listens to suggestions, they should find an 80s cutout pretty quickly. ]

[windeity]

[They have to fly a few canopies up in the jungle-forest, but they'll probably hear 80s music first before they see another cut-out.]

Think that's it?

[parodeity]

Oh my god. Dibs on the blond.

[ HE'S ALREADY GOING OVER, THIS CUTOUT PASSES MUSTER. ]

[windeity]

I don't know if I'll look good with a mullet. [But he's heading that way!] You're a cute blond though so I guess that makes sense.

[parodeity]

Flattery will get you basically everywhere. [ this is going to have to be a crude selfie... ] Ready, babe?

[windeity]

About as ready as I'll ever be. [He sticks his face through the mullet cutout and waits.] One, two...

[parodeity]

Three. [ AND NOW they are ready for the 80s. ] ...What if we just go home like this.

[ dave why ]

[windeity]

[He just. Stares at him???] I like the clothes but I definitely could do without the mullet. Are you going to cut my hair again if we do?

[parodeity]

I mean, yes. [ hm... ] But we should probably find the end of this phototrail. I suppose I will have to give up my dream of watching Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure like this.

[windeity]

You could stay that way and I just take the rest, but that also sounds like a bad idea so never mind. We have to be somewhere close to the end though right? We have already done three of them.

[parodeity]

Three's supposedly the magic number? Maybe the next one will creepily be just us and that's how we go back to normal. God, that would be the most ironic shot? Like, cutouts of ourselves. ...we could swap.

[ stop this ]

[windeity]

Don't be me, I just got used to being in my own body again after James took it. [NO THANKS.] You'd be a cute brunette though.

[parodeity]

I think it is unfair I didn't get a turn??

[windeity]

[And because he knows Dave will fluster, he says:] If you really want inside me that bad we can probably figure something else out.

[parodeity]

[ fuck you john??? predictably dave goes red, mouth working soundlessly for a moment. ] Dude!

[windeity]

[Nah he just starts cracking up, sorry.] You walked right into that one.

[parodeity]

So you're fighting fire with fire? [ a reluctant smile. ] I could have made you regret that one you know.

[windeity]

Somehow I don't doubt that, but you didn't so I still win.

[parodeity]

[ john gets an exasperated slash mostly amused look before dave darts over to
press a kiss to his mouth...

and then pulling away before john can deepen it or respond. ]

Do you really?
