Previously, on VBZ the unjolly tan giant that was Tak bought her body weight in steel and tried to push it up a hill.

It was hotter than an old woman's coffee-tainted breath on Christmas morning, and Tak hadn't even gotten halfway up the hill. How long had she been gone? It didn't feel like that much time had passed since she'd been out, and it was relatively chilly when she did. So how did it get so hot so quickly? Murphy's Law was rearing its head a bit but would soon do full force.

Even on this well-beaten path ascending the full height of the hill, it was still bumpy with rocks and slick with silt clods. Heh, funny how much more perceptive she became of her surroundings now. Fuckin hilarious. Speaking of hilarious, she could see someone lounging on a bench up ahead. From what she could make out, he could see her and was watching without making the slightest bit of effort to get up. Parts of her felt rage at this, but at the same time....if it had been her on the bench, she would have been doing the same thing. Karma's a bitch that way, isn't it?

About twenty-five feet later, Tak turned around and leaned her back against the wagon handle to keep it deposited into place while she made a few adjustments. She bound her long loose hair into a sloppy topknot to stay off her neck and pulled her gown up over her knees and used one of the large senbon needles she kept strapped to her wrist to as a pin to allow her legs to breathe. She even went as far as to discard her thongs and jika-tabi, deciding to go the rest of way barefoot. The soles were wearing out anyway.

Slowly but surely beneath the unforgiving heat of the day, Tak made it to the summit of the hill and she exhaled with slight triumph. It was just too bad that her first step going down, she slipped on a rock and went sliding into her wagon with a crash. With a metallic clatter, Tak fell on her ass and she watched with a blank expression as she watched the wagon speeding down the hill, with nearly half her purchases going airborne from both sides.
