    So, an obstacle course was what it needed to do this week. An obstacle course. What the legitimate hell was an obstacle course? It had never heard of such a thing before! It felt so stupid, not knowing what an obstacle course was. Asking an NPC had led to a description: a series of difficulties that have to be negotiated in order to achieve a particular aim. That, that gave it a few ideas.

    Colotik already knew that it could lift many, many things. It's only problem was organization. It had no idea how to set this up, so it turned to the only thing it knew: how things worked back where it came from. Back there, things fell from the ceiling and crushed what was below. Fire spewed, gravity was a suggestion, and everything was out to kill. It couldn't do any of that, but what it could do was pick up a whole bunch of things (sharp things, large things, small things, sticky things) and throw them all together.

    When it was done, it nodded to itself. Colotik felt mighty proud of itself. It happily clicked as it looked at the absolute mess of randomly grabbed things. Yes, a perfect obstacle course. "Eeeees an obstacle course." It loudly clicked, an ear twitching. What else was needed? Maybe some fire could have been used too, which after a few minutes it had also added. Fire on the floor. It felt so smart! "Come seeeee the obstacle course, eeeeess best obstacle course, obveeeously."

    Kieran didn't know how he was going to get through this obstacle course. First of all, he had no idea where to start, and second of all, what was he supposed to do? What if he fell into the fire? That really worried him, he was prone to tripping over his own paws enough even without fire around him. Fire plus Kieran was just a recipe for disaster.


    "..Where should I start?" he questioned Colotik as he approached, glancing at it warily. Colotik didn't seem to have a grasp on many things that people did, and Kieran sometimes wondered why. He was doing that now: where had it come from, to not know what an obstacle course was, and putting actual fire in it? Kieran didn't want to hurt its feelings, though, so he was just going to try the course, which wasn't really a course. It was just a mass of objects placed in random spots. "And.. what's the path? What do I do?"

    *✧:｡.｡ The Roman came over, to see how Colotik interpreted his weekly task, and honestly wasn't expecting anything like this. She laughed and circled the thing. "Pointy things and fire! A perfect obstacle course!" This wasn't teasing, per say, Clover was a lot like this when she first joined.


    She then saw her shield in the pile. She was about to pull it out, but decided to leave it.

    Her assumption was that the goal of the course was to clamber over the randomly scattered objects and avoid the flame-engulfed surface below. There was no other objective that made sense in her mind, but she did appear to have some interest in the opportunity to practice. She was already well-versed in athletics, but if by some chance she did slip it'd be a good time for her to practice regaining altitude in a hurry. The stunt was difficult, and it was still one she needed to perfect. She'd been trained in jumping around, her natural agility pushed further. But her aerial maneuvering was her own responsibility, and one she was willing to dedicate time and effort to. Flight helped negate her biggest drawback, so she took an interest in the mess that the mammalian creature had set up.


    However, she was also skeptical of the idea of setting the ground ablaze. It was incredibly careless to leave it, and she questioned whether or not the winged individual was actually capable of controlling the mini-disaster of a course they'd created. If he burned down half of the territory over creating a simple obstacle course, she imagined that his stupidity would earn him the punishment of death. Perhaps banishment if Yuri was lenient, which she really wouldn't want him to be. She glared at the fire that he'd lit, but still listened for an answer. However, she was also looking around for any visible water sources that could be used to douse a fire in case of an emergency. She preferred to be prepared for the worst rather than blindly trusting of the intelligence others possessed. Since they usually lacked intelligence instead.

    Colotik's ears slowly drooped at the questions. Alright, maybe it should have done a little bit more, what was the word, what was the word..research, yes, maybe it should have researched and asked more than one person about what an obstacle course was. Everyone seemed so confused, and Colotik, who had made the mess, didn't even know the answer. "Yeeeee go through eeeEEEEt." Was it's initial answer, wings flapping a few times before it hovered and stared at the 'obstacle course'. A mess described it better.

    The bat like creature grinned at the compliment Clover gave. 'A perfect obstacle course'. Yes! It had done this right. It nearly let itself doa flip as it hovered, but contained itself. A series of happy click noises followed. "Theeenk." Was it's attempt at aknowledging the praise, white eyes wide with glee. Pointy things and fire, so it had done this right. How great.
    The Clony then had to turn to the last person that had come to see the fire and mess of things suspended and thrown about. She didn't look as happy as Clover had been about the pile of stuff being used as an obstacle course; or was it the fire she was glaring at. The dark skinned creature stopped flapping and merely plopped to the floor. "You go threeeegh eet." Colotik reiterated, since she too didn't exactly seem to know how to go through the mess that was the obstacle course. "Eeeend don't go in the feeere, cause theeEEEEN you get a fire on yeeeou." Most elaborate explanation, that. It felt mighty proud of how it was learning to speak. Sure, the whole squeak and the excessive use of 'e's were probably annoying, but it wasn't about to let itself be dragged down by that minor flaw. Proud of the obstacle course and how it could actually word the answers it had to give.
