"Ka-blooie."
A dandelion on the side of the road burst into flames, which quickly went out.
"Bang-bang."
An unnaturally tall weed succombed to the same fate.
A small figure was resting under the shade, quietly making explosion noises with his mouth as he pointed at various bits of greenery.
Dex was horrifically bored.
He'd been walking for two hours straight, he was practically steaming, and he hadn't talked to anyone for- how long was it now? Days. You'd think somebody would be around, with this dusty dirt road that seemingly lead to nowhere. But no, this place was completely deserted. (Common sense told him that he should probably be worried about that, but he was too miserable to care.)
So now there he was, reduced to setting things on fire while making weird sound effects just for the hell of it.
A slight movement in the distance made him look up in the middle of a "Ka-boom". What was it now? Wild animals? A pack of vicious wolves? Bandits? Oh, he really hoped it was people. He'd probably kill for someone to talk to. The whole "talking to himself" thing was beginning to cause some serious internal conflict. Squinting at the lazy dust cloud approaching his way, he searched the horizon with the eagerness of a child about to open an unexpected present. Was it people?
It was people!
...And a bunch of horseys, which made him hesitate a bit. Horses usually didn't like him. They always whinnied and rolled their eyes threateningly at him whenever he came nearby. Something about his half-existant presence unnerved them. (But then, anyone would be unnerved by a tattered robe that appeared to walk and talk by itself. And maaaaaybe that ghostly grin had something to do with it as well.)
But right now he didn't really care. Waving his arms frantically, jumping in the air, nearly dancing a goddamned jig, he shouted out a joyful "HALLOOOOOOO!"
(It suddenly occured to him that they might be dangerous criminals that would probably gut him as soon as they saw him, but hey, he could always disappear and make them question their sanity if anything happened. No worries, right? )
