...Okay. But what the heck does that have to do with hiding in a box? [Cardboard isn't exactly known for its wonderful protective qualities against demons...]

[sneakthatshit]

Did you expect someone to be in the box?

[vintage_magic]

Um, no...

But I'm not actually here for training. I'm the park's gardener and it's my job to keep the place clean.

[sneakthatshit]

[That was personally a disappointment. Having someone attractive in the group would have made things that much better.]

...are you sure?

[vintage_magic]

Yes... I thought someone abandoned those boxes and I was going to throw them out if they didn't belong to anyone...

[sneakthatshit]

First, you should be using cardboard boxes, not throwing them out. Second, these are in use so don't worry about that.

[vintage_magic]

[A raised eyebrow] To hide in? But if they're yours, I'm not going to throw them out.

[sneakthatshit]

How many people do you think would check under a cardboard box for enemies?

[vintage_magic]

Not many, I reckon. But wouldn't people find a box where it's not supposed to be strange? [She still sounds dubious about this.]

[sneakthatshit]

That's a good question. If the person inside the box knows what they're doing, they'll just look like discarded trash. Something no one wants to flip up and mess with.

[vintage_magic]

But what if it's some place where people wouldn't be likely to throw trash? Like out in the forest. Wouldn't that just seem suspicious?

[sneakthatshit]

It wouldn't surprise me. Wherever there's people, there's trash. And I think these monsters need people around.

[vintage_magic]

And how do you see under that thing? Makes it easier for someone to sneak up on you, I reckon. [Yeah, she's still doubtful about this method.]

[sneakthatshit]

The hand holes. The only problem is if someone tries to peek in when you're looking out.

[vintage_magic]

But doesn't that mean you can't see much? What if you crash into something?

[sneakthatshit]

Situational awareness is what will stop that.

[vintage_magic]

And have you actually managed to sneak up on an enemy with your box?

[sneakthatshit]

Hundreds of them.

[vintage_magic]

You can't be serious. [What was he sneaking up on? Small animals?]

[sneakthatshit]

No, joking would be me saying that I ride on the backs of dolphins on my way to work.

[vintage_magic]

Saying that you sneaked up on hundreds of enemies with a cardboard box doesn't sound much more probable.

[sneakthatshit]

I'm not here to convince you. Just to let you know that I know what I'm doing.

[vintage_magic]

[She still has doubts and hopes people don't actually try this box trick for sneaking up on a demon but...]

Fine. I should be getting back to work anyway. Just make sure to take your boxes when you leave.
