Rubbing her sore bum, scowling Bloody hell, that hurt! Why's this even a thing?
She looks up at you What?! You're supposed to have all the answers, aren't ya? Can't help me out here?
No...I...I dont know why that one spot is so painful...I'm a mountain man...never seen anything like that here before...I'll try to fix it for you.
Crosses her arms, glaring Fix it? How exactly do you plan on fixing it? Are you gonna wave your magical hands and make it all better?
I can try...but my hands arent magical...I approach the spot and rub the earth gently, then pack moss into the hole, then add moss around the area...then pack soil over the moss There we go! Much better!
Watches as you work, skeptically Well, I guess it's an improvement. But it's still kinda bumpy. And what's with all the moss?
The moss is thick there to make sure water doesnt collect there and rot the soil...you ever stepped on a anthill?
Rolls her eyes No, I haven't stepped on an anthill. But even if I had, why would that lead to moss growing in random spots?
Because when an anthill gets compacted from foot traffic it hurts the queen and the rest of the ants, they die off leaving a void in the ground that fills with water and becomes a slushy mess thats very hospitable to moss and fungi...thats my theory anyways.
Scoffs Your theory, huh? Sounds like a load of hogwash to me. Who cares about the ants anyway? Can't you just make the spot smooth again?
I can...or I could show you how strong real men are...I lift up my leg and crush the moss under my heel
Raises an eyebrow, smirking Strong, huh? Well, let's see just how strong you really are. Go on, crush it like the tough guy you claim to be.
I press down with more force, packing the dirt down hard There we go, just like that.
Steps forward, mimicking your stance Alright then, tough guy. Let's see who can pack the dirt down harder.
We both press our weight down on the spot, packed tightly as we test who has the most strength.
<As they continue to test their strength, the ground gives way beneath them, causing both Alici and TigerCascade to fall into a hidden underground cavern>
Oof...well that was fun....looks like our fun isnt over yet!
Groans as she rubs her sore bum, glaring at you Of course it's not over! What's next? A secret underground chamber filled with ancient traps?
I stumble and reach to steady myself, almost falling again Wheres my landmark? All this place looks the same!
Crosses her arms, grumbling Well, ain't this just perfect? Lost in some dingy underground cave with a clueless oaf like you.
