Orin viciously struggled against the nauseating grasp of the stupid old hag who had undignifiedly dragged him and his best friend Ken (who was only going to be eleven in May, while he was already nearly eleven and a half!) into the town's all too familiar to him police station, maturely crossing his arms as she released both of them into chairs in the waiting room. "I'd expect behavior like this out of a boy, but it's especially improper for a young lady such as yourself, Jamie. Did Ken trick you into this?" Nearly blind with rage, Orin fought with all of his strength to recover the remaining fireworks and matches they had obtained from the super cool older teenagers they had met earlier from her hands, intending to make her pay for the grave insult she had just leveled against him even if it meant taking them and the police station down with her. "I ain't no goddamn young lady! I'm a boy!" He noticed Ken making his way to his side and standing supportively beside him, fortunately not quite reaching his height. "Yeah! He's got some kinda magical shots that stop 'im from turning into a girl!"

Alarmed, Orin stopped attempting to take back their prized contraband and shot daggers at him, trying to remind him that his parents had stressed that his... I think they called 'em puberty blockers? were supposed to be a secret for some reason. Ken belatedly covered his mouth with his hands and opened his eyes wide as the woman addressed them again. "...This is ridiculous- oh! Officer Odin, can you guess what I caught these two naughty children doing?" Immense relief and admiration washed over Orin as the awesome macho police officer who always let them off easy came into the room, apparently deciding that listening to this crazy lady was worth his time and glancing between him and Ken and the fireworks. "...Havin' a swell time, I'd reckon?" The woman sighed exasperatedly. "No, they-" She stopped and alternated between glaring at them and Odin, tapping her foot exaggeratedly, as Orin interrupted her. "These teenagers gave us these awesome firecrackers and told us we were old enough to handle them and then we saw how close we could throw them at each other and I won!" Ken scoffed at this. "You did not, I got 'em closer." Orin was not to be outdone. "Did too!" As the woman belligerently resumed her protest, she was thankfully interrupted once again by Odin as he casually made his way to stand in front of them.

"I mighty appreciate ya bringin' this ta my attention. I can handle it from here, ma'am." The woman obstinately held her ground for a moment before giving way to the tough as nails cop with a surprising degree of wisdom, muttering something of little importance as she exited the police station. Almost immediately afterwards, Odin gave a manly laugh and friendlily slapped Orin on the back. "Sounds like you two boys have had yourselves a little too much fun today. But hey, firecrackers are a step up from cats n' hounddogs, so I'll take it. Boys will be boys, amiright? Now get on outta here, and give the explosives a rest until y'all're the right ages for 'em, alright?" Ken, who was not quite as fond of Odin as Orin was for some reason, snapped him out of his gender-affirmation induced reverie by practically dragging... no, pulling him by the wrist while he hurried under his own steam out of the police station, shouting "Thanks, bye!" right before he closed the door behind them and wiping his brow in relief afterwards.

"Phew! That was close." Orin quickly decided that he would like to go to the park next and started walking them in that direction before Ken could take control of the rest of the evening from him, making sure to stay at least a slight step ahead of him at all times. "Yeah, good thing Officer Odin was workin' today. That one lady cop especially would've been a pain to deal with for sure!" Ken nodded slightly. "Eh, she's alright... Hey, what was that he was sayin' about cats and hounddogs?" I can't believe I haven't shown him that yet! We're gonna have so much fun! He flashed him a mischievous grin and received a slightly less energetic and aware one in return. "I'll show you! Come on!"
