Rekk (6:18:54 PM):----------------------------
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:19:56 PM):Amado
sighs as he wraps bandage around the wound on his head.
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:20:14 PM):"...Should
I be dissapointed that I've gotten so good at doing this by myself?" He
asks no one in particular.
Myushu (6:20:32 PM):"I
could do it for you..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:21:32 PM):"No...that's
fine." He says, as he finishes the wrapping and cuts the roll, placing
it back into his drawer.
Myushu
(6:22:17 PM):"...Amado-dono..
I'm sorry." She lowers her head.
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:22:28 PM):...Blink.
"Sorry about what?"
Myushu
(6:22:45 PM):"I
said things I probably shouldn't have... didn't I?"
Rakath
Chaos (6:23:13 PM):Dawn
is leaning up against the side of the Blue dorm, no jacket still... bloodstains
still adorn her spare jacket.
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:23:55 PM):"....Nah.
We both did. I'm sorry..." He says with a sigh as he walks over to his
coat...which still has pink and red paint all over it.
Sinisquirrel
(6:24:16 PM):Lily
stands beside her, thinking as her foot toys with a leaf on the ground.
kwikkidus
(6:24:52 PM):Eon
is wherever Bee and Lola are at, looking around as though on high alert.
Myushu (6:25:20 PM):"It's
okay, Amado-dono... So long as you don't hate me." she followed Amado.
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:25:26 PM):"...But...I
think there's something that needs to be said..."
Polk
Kitsune (6:25:35 PM):From
the top of the blue dorm, a guy was lookign down at Dawn and Lily, plotting...
Sinisquirrel
(6:25:58 PM):"...?"
Glance upwards.
Polk
Kitsune (6:26:38 PM):Lola
was 'hiding' with Bee... Though hiding a behemoth was quite a task...
Polk
Kitsune (6:27:00 PM):The
figure went back, his head hiding behind the top of the roof.
Myushu
(6:27:06 PM):"..Hai?"
BreakneckChao
(6:28:56 PM):Henry
was... trying to hide/protect Bee and Lola, and attempting to tolerate/protect
Enishi.
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:29:20 PM):"Well....don't
get me wrong. I don't hate you by any stretch of the word. I do like you,
you're a great friend to me..."
Polk
Kitsune (6:29:20 PM):Lola
looked at Eon. "Any news from the others?"
kwikkidus
(6:29:38 PM):"Except
that they've apparently sent Henry as reinforcements, no."
Myushu (6:29:40 PM):Friend...
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:29:50 PM):"Hmph!
I don't see why these losers have to protect me! I'm perfectly capable
of defending myself!"
Myushu
(6:30:11 PM):"Shut
up!" Jenna shouted, walking towards them.
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:30:16 PM):"But...I
just don't think...you and I...is gonna work out."
BreakneckChao
(6:30:28 PM):"Stealth,
you be our lookout!" Stealth dissapeared into the trees.
Myushu (6:30:36 PM):"Lookie.
^^ I brought some snacks, okay?" she held up a plastic bag.
Myushu
(6:31:10 PM):"...While
the Shadow game is going.. I'm.. not as.. I'm more solid.. and.."
kwikkidus
(6:31:15 PM):"Enishi,
-I- could kick your butt!"
Myushu (6:31:19 PM):"I
could.. I could posess anyone you wanted me to!"
Polk
Kitsune (6:31:21 PM):Lola
wimpered softly, and held onto Bee's leg tightly, closing her eyes.
BreakneckChao
(6:31:26 PM):"...Snacks?
Sweet! I haven't eaten in a while."
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:31:27 PM):.....he
shakes his head.
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:31:48 PM):"See...
I love Lily. And... I don't think that will ever change, no matter what..."
kwikkidus
(6:31:53 PM):Eon
perks up. "Snacks?! Sweet! Ahh! And a Jenna-dono!"
BreakneckChao
(6:32:01 PM):Henry
paused, noticing how scared Lola looked....
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:32:02 PM):"...Did
you bring Yan Yans?"
Myushu
(6:32:22 PM):"How
can you? She's... all over Spellman... She doesn't seem quick to choose
either of you."
Myushu
(6:32:46 PM):"...
Yeah, Yan Yans, Pocky, cookies, chips..."
BreakneckChao
(6:32:52 PM):Sooo
he pulled two cards from his deck, and whispered... "Hey guys, I think
Lola could use a little comforting..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:32:56 PM):He
snatches the Yan Yans.
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:33:14 PM):"Ah
Masami-sama, you are a life saver....!" He happily eats them.
BreakneckChao
(6:33:18 PM):Suddenly,
there are two Penguin Soldiers, one on each side of the girl.
Polk
Kitsune (6:33:19 PM):Lola
tilted her head a bit at the mention of snacks, then grabbed a few cookies.
Myushu
(6:33:27 PM):"Ahaha.."
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:33:28 PM):"...
I know. But... even if I don't have a chance, and she does choose Spellman
over me... I think I'd still love her."
Polk
Kitsune (6:33:33 PM):Lola
blinked, and looked at the penguins. "Nyu?"
BreakneckChao
(6:33:45 PM):Penguins:
"Squeeee!"
Myushu (6:33:50 PM):"Amado-dono...
I don't think I can give you up that easily. Not to her."
kwikkidus
(6:34:02 PM):Eon
grabs a piece of Pocky, and puts the edge of it into his mouth, before
leaning back on a nearby tree. "Huhm. Well. We're on guard duty."
Rakath
Chaos (6:34:04 PM):Dawn
looked down, a bit unhappy she left Wynn and Duck over with Jenna for her
little 'trip' to a volcano, "Lily... I'll never forgive you if you get
killed."
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:34:26 PM):"..."
He blinks. "What do you mean?"
Sinisquirrel
(6:34:32 PM):"..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:34:44 PM):"....."
Penguin Soldier? Meet Enishi's FOOT.
Myushu
(6:35:01 PM):"I
love you, Amado-dono... From first sight, I did."
Sinisquirrel
(6:35:12 PM):How
to respond to such a statement... "Don't worry... I'm not going to die!"
Lily puts up her fists as a brave front.
Polk
Kitsune (6:35:13 PM):Lola
wimpered, and closed her eyes tightly. "Nyu!"
Myushu
(6:35:26 PM):Jenna
smacked Enishi upside his head. "Hey!"
BreakneckChao
(6:35:28 PM):Peng-One:
"Squoooo!" *flies a few feet*
Rakath
Chaos (6:35:55 PM):"Didn't
think you would, just felt I should mention it..."
BreakneckChao
(6:36:07 PM):Peng-Two:
"Sqwaaaaak!" *lunges at Enishi with his sword*
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:36:17 PM):"..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:36:32 PM):Zorc
grabs the little Penguin in his hand (that one that ain't chopped up anyway).
Sinisquirrel
(6:36:56 PM):"O-oh?"
Sweatdrop, hand to the back of the head. "Ahah... All right, then... ...
I... know I don't have to worry about you... but I do."
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:37:10 PM):He
glares. "If there is one thing I love to do...it's roast insignifigant
creatures like yourselves." The Dark Master glares.
Polk
Kitsune (6:37:11 PM):Lola
covered her ears, shaking her head. "Nyyyuuuu! Stop it!" Bee took a step
toward Zork, and gave loud growl, putting a paw between him and Lola.
BreakneckChao
(6:37:20 PM):Peng-Two:
"..."
kwikkidus
(6:37:28 PM):"Zorc,
you WILL put it down."
BreakneckChao
(6:37:31 PM):"SQUAAAAAAAAAA!"
*wriggle wriggle*
Myushu (6:37:42 PM):"HEY!"
Pikeru yelled out. "Stop fighting here!! We're supposed to be working together
and stuff!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:37:46 PM):He
shoots a glare at Eon.
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:37:53 PM):"...Put
it down, Zorc-kun."
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:38:02 PM):Zorc
hrmphs
and puts the thing down.
kwikkidus
(6:38:20 PM):Eon
glares right back, kitty plushie on his head, and Pocky stick hanging out
the side of his mouth. Like a piece of straw in a cowboy movie, but it's
Pocky.
Rakath
Chaos (6:38:23 PM):Wynn
and Duck are leaving the others be, Duckie just running circles as Wynn
does a cute little dance.
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:38:24 PM):"...
From first sight?" Amado blinks. "... Heh. What brought that on?"
BreakneckChao
(6:38:30 PM):Peng-two
is set down, and snoofs angrily at Zorc, walking back to Lola.
Polk
Kitsune (6:38:43 PM):Bee
stopped growling, then turned back to Lola, who was still shivering, the
cats and bunny trying to comfort her.
BreakneckChao
(6:38:59 PM):Henry:
"Thanks Eon."
Myushu (6:39:32 PM):Maiden
blushed a little, "Well... When you got my cards.. Sigh. I thought you'd
be the one who I never had to leave."
Myushu
(6:39:56 PM):"...
I can make anyone fall in love with me, you know, Amado-dono. But it doesn't
mean anything... They'd leave at some point."
kwikkidus
(6:39:56 PM):Eon
scowls at Henry. "I didn't do it for you. I happen to like penguins is
all." A 'hmph,' and then he looks away. "Besides, if anyone did that to
one of MY penguins.."
Sinisquirrel
(6:40:28 PM):Lily
looks down. "... I wish you didn't have to leave again."
BreakneckChao
(6:40:43 PM):"...Blasted
Enishi..."
Myushu (6:40:46 PM):"Sigh..
Can we cool the tension down a bit?" Jenna placed a Pocky stick in her
mouth.
kwikkidus
(6:41:03 PM):"Don't
blast anyone I'm supposed to be watching, thanks."
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:41:08 PM):"...'Cause
your powers only last 'til the end of the duel..."
Polk
Kitsune (6:41:12 PM):Lola
stopped shivering, and finally started to nibble on a cookie...
Rakath
Chaos (6:41:22 PM):"I'll
be back before you know it," Dawn sighed, "Just... if Raikou Li challenges
you, don't face him."
Myushu
(6:41:50 PM):"...Yeah."
BreakneckChao
(6:42:14 PM):The
Penguins cling to Lola.
kwikkidus
(6:42:20 PM):Eon
nods, and looks out again. "Don't see anyone... I'd have to assume they
haven't figured out where we are yet."
BreakneckChao
(6:42:31 PM):Penguns:
"Squeeeee.... ;_;"
Sinisquirrel
(6:42:40 PM):Lily
nods. "All right... I'll stay out of the way."
Myushu
(6:42:41 PM):"Let's
hope it stays that way.."
kwikkidus
(6:43:47 PM):"Right...
but just in case, I'm taking them on. Best foot forward and all that, right?"
Polk
Kitsune (6:43:53 PM):Lola
blinked at the penguins a moment, then puts her hands on their heads, petting
softly. "I'll be okay... Thanks for being here." She lowered, and kissed
their foreheads softly.
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:44:28 PM):"Well...
why me?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:44:41 PM):"Certainly
you've seen other people before... other people better than me."
Rakath
Chaos (6:44:46 PM):Dawn
sighed, "I need to face that man again, if he duels like he fights it'll
be fun."
Myushu
(6:44:48 PM):"Hrm...
Alright, Eon-kun. Make sure you don't get hurt, okay?"
Polk
Kitsune (6:45:14 PM):A
note took onto the wind, and flew rigth between Lily and Dawn, written
in red paint: And I'll be around tooooo! Hehehehe.
kwikkidus
(6:45:24 PM):"Heh.
As long as I can control my favorite monster, I should be fine."
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:45:55 PM):"As
long as they don't have Coercive Demonic Eyes."
kwikkidus
(6:46:13 PM):"I
maintain that I was going to destroy her the very next turn."
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:46:25 PM):"Hrmph."
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:46:28 PM):"Kaito."
Myushu
(6:46:31 PM):"...
You're like a Knight, Amado-dono! You're brave and daring." She nodded
with a smile, "You are... mean at times. But in you, I know your heart
is wonderful."
Sinisquirrel
(6:46:32 PM):"E-eh?
Fun...?" The note flew past her nose, and she reached up to grab it. "...
Who's "I?""
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:46:44 PM):"Do
you believe that in any of our duels, the tide could've changed with one
more turn?"
Rakath
Chaos (6:47:09 PM):"He's
the guy who followed us to Behemoth, and was the one Amado and I fought
in the woods. He's quite capable with a weighted rubber chicken as a weapon."
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:47:19 PM):"...Heh..."
Polk
Kitsune (6:47:53 PM):A
second piece of paper flew by: That's ALFREDO! Don't forget it!
Sinisquirrel
(6:48:14 PM):"...
A chicken named Alfredo? He's fond of Italian dishes, then..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:48:37 PM):"I
dunno... did you seen my rematch with Kaito...?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:49:03 PM):"Everyone
was against me after that one... Masami, Spellman, Flunky, even Lily was..."
kwikkidus
(6:49:16 PM):"Enishi,
it was not a 'could have.' I had everything I needed to defeat her already
on the field."
Myushu (6:49:36 PM):Maiden
lowered her head. "... Everyone has their... bad moments..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:49:46 PM):"Prove
it."
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:50:03 PM):"Yeah
but... that wasn't my only one..."
Polk
Kitsune (6:50:04 PM):Lola
blinked, and listened to the conversation, not having a clue what they
meant. "Nyu?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:50:30 PM):"In
fact... my whole life since I've got here has been one big bad moment in
a way... and Lily... she's always been there to break up those bad moments
for me..."
kwikkidus
(6:50:32 PM):"As
you'll recall, I had 2700 life points left, and one monster facedown on
the field. Also, Monster Reincarnation in my hand, and three pieces."
Rakath
Chaos (6:50:40 PM):"Be
nice if he gave his own name, otherwise I'll have to give him one... and
he'll probably not like it, Alfredo lover sounds good to start..." Dawn
chuckles as she watches paper litter the ground.
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:51:06 PM):"I
couldn't see your hand. Prove you had those cards in them."
Sinisquirrel
(6:51:19 PM):Lily
stoops down to pick them up. "Unconscientious litter bug..."
kwikkidus
(6:51:35 PM):"Monster
Reincarnation showed up from a Magical Merchanting, as you'll recall, meaning
she knew I had it too. And I was counting off the pieces to her as I drew
them."
Myushu (6:51:45 PM):Sigh...
"Now she seems to cause them..." she pointed at his head.
Polk
Kitsune (6:51:48 PM):A
third one joined the pile: The name's Meso. And if you can't figure
out where I am in three seconds, your girlfriend will sleep with the fishies...
Myushu
(6:51:57 PM):"You
did that... because of her, no?"
kwikkidus
(6:52:12 PM):"Now,
as you'll also recall, I had Sangan in the graveyard, and she had no facedown
cards on the field."
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:52:31 PM):"Did
what...?"
kwikkidus
(6:52:33 PM):"The
key, you see, is what my facedown monster was. It was an Emmisary of the
Afterlife."
Polk
Kitsune (6:52:40 PM):A
fourth one came floating by, pink this time: Juuuust kidding! XP
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:52:55 PM):"..."
He sighs.
kwikkidus
(6:53:09 PM):"One.
Turn. Away."
Sinisquirrel
(6:53:09 PM):"...
Heh..." Sometimes it was true... ignorance was indeed bliss.
Myushu
(6:53:14 PM):"Hurt
your head..." She knew he bashed it into something.
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:53:14 PM):"I
just remembered that I don't care."
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:53:22 PM):"Zork-kun.
Would you mind amusing me?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:53:29 PM):Zork
snatches the kitty plushie.
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:53:36 PM):"...
Ah."
Myushu
(6:53:38 PM):"Hey!"
kwikkidus
(6:53:40 PM):Eon
smirks. "You're just mad that I'm right. A--" DEATH GLARE.
Rakath
Chaos (6:53:43 PM):Dawn
grins, "Meso... good name, I'll have fun dismembering him in a duel." Dawn
giggles that nerve-shaking giggle.
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:53:49 PM):"Yeah...
pretty much. Another of my my not-so-fine moments..."
Myushu
(6:53:59 PM):"I
made that, Enishi! Zork, don't you dare ruin it!"
kwikkidus
(6:54:12 PM):"Give.
Back. Mr. Kitty."
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:54:14 PM):Zorc
glances at it...
Sinisquirrel
(6:54:33 PM):"Literally?"
Cue creepy grin with similar giggle.
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:54:42 PM):And
tosses it into his mouth.
Myushu
(6:54:45 PM):Maiden
hestitantly hugged onto Amado. "... I... I want to bring you good moments,
too, Amado-dono. But..."
Myushu
(6:54:53 PM):"Kya..."
Polk
Kitsune (6:54:58 PM):At
least I still got all my clothes on!
Sinisquirrel
(6:55:25 PM):"...
SHE LOOKS BETTER THIS WAY!" Lily shouted for the mystery doofus to hear.
Rakath
Chaos (6:55:26 PM):I
look good in a tank top, I can't say the same for you.
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:55:35 PM):"...
You can..."
Polk
Kitsune (6:55:38 PM):Lola
gulped...
kwikkidus
(6:55:43 PM):Eon
tackles Zork, pulls the piece of Pocky out of his mouth, and stabs the
demon-thing in the eye with it. Hard end first, of course. "BASTARD!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:55:57 PM):"By..."
he hesitates. Here comes the f-word again. "Being my friend."
BreakneckChao
(6:56:29 PM):"Enishi,
you little punk!"
Myushu (6:56:36 PM):"....."
Maiden hugged onto Amado tighter.
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:56:38 PM):Zorc
flicks Eon away casually, and then pulls the kitty plushie out of his cloak.
Polk
Kitsune (6:56:58 PM):I
don't need to show skin to look good. Then again, that blood looks good
on you...
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:57:12 PM):"...
I'm sorry..." He says, and puts a reassuring hand on her back.
kwikkidus
(6:57:13 PM):Eon
flips over, and skids to a stop, still looking totally ready to pounce
again. "Give. Him. Back. To. Me. NOW."
BreakneckChao
(6:57:29 PM):"Eon!"
Henry rushes to catch Eon.
Myushu (6:57:32 PM):"Eon-kun!
Guh... Zork, give it back!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:57:43 PM):"Fine,
fine..." The Duel Spirit mumbles....before clutching a fist over the kitty
plushie, and opens up his hand again... no kitty plushie it in.
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:58:16 PM):He
then points at Eon's head, where the kitty plushie resides.
kwikkidus
(6:58:40 PM):Eon
looks up, notes the plushie, then gets off of Henry. "...Hrmph. Don't steal
Mr. Kitty. Ever."
Myushu (6:58:45 PM):"...
Because I'm just a duel spirit? Or... You... you really just love her that
much...?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:59:16 PM):"...Hmph.
No clapping? Ungrateful humans." The duel spirit mumbles.
Viewtiful
Rekk (6:59:40 PM):"....."
He looks down. "I really do love her that much."
BreakneckChao
(6:59:46 PM):Henry
mumbles... "Blasted Amado had to stick us with the DARK spirit, of all
things..."
kwikkidus
(6:59:59 PM):"I
don't take kindly to people stealing the gift Jenna-chan gave me out of
the kindness of her heart, thank you."
Polk
Kitsune (7:00:28 PM):Lola
burried her face into her cat's fur, wimpering lightly.
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:00:52 PM):Zorc
flicks Henry in the back of the head. "Something WRONG with my company,
human?"
Myushu
(7:01:21 PM):"....."
Maiden let go of him. "I see... All right... Amado.."
Myushu
(7:01:38 PM):"Stop
flicking people!" Pikeru grumbled.
BreakneckChao
(7:02:04 PM):"...Gah!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:02:05 PM):(>_>)
Myushu
(7:02:20 PM):"Aww...
Eon-kun." She clung onto the flunky. "Are you okay?" Oh yeah. Not minding
Henry.
BreakneckChao
(7:02:35 PM):"...
Well, there wouldn't be if you hadn't almost killed my penguin and Eon's
cat..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:02:59 PM):"Hmph.
Do you know my name, human?"
BreakneckChao
(7:03:02 PM):"Just
behave yourself, dangit! We're protecting you, after all..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:03:07 PM):"I
am Dark MASTER Zorc."
kwikkidus
(7:03:09 PM):"Pssh.
You say that like it's the first time I've ever been sent flying by something.
Compared to Amado, he can't hit very well."
kwikkidus
(7:03:19 PM):"Thanks
for asking, though."
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:03:34 PM):"I
am the greatest master of demonic magic in all of existence!"
BreakneckChao
(7:03:42 PM):"I
know
what your name is..."
Polk
Kitsune (7:03:50 PM):Behemoth
took a step forward, and pressed his giant paw on Zork's back, trying to
push him to the ground, growling loudly.
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:03:55 PM):"I
should be offended you humans aren't bowing to me and calling me 'Lord
Zorc'..."
BreakneckChao
(7:03:59 PM):"And
I'm kinda opposed to demonic magic..."
kwikkidus
(7:04:12 PM):MEANWHILE!!
Ed shivers, sitting back in his dorm. "...Dori? I just got this weird feeling
that someone indirectly insulted me."
Myushu
(7:04:17 PM):"I...
I, uhm... I still..." Maiden lowered her head again and sighed. "I'm sorry..."
she headed to the door.
BreakneckChao
(7:04:27 PM):"I
thought you just said your name was Dark Master Zorc..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:04:47 PM):Zorc
is pushed to the ground.
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:04:58 PM):".
. ." He turns and looks at Behemoth.
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:05:14 PM):"W-wait...."
Amado says, putting a hand on her shoulder.
BreakneckChao
(7:05:17 PM):Henry
can barely stifle a laugh...
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:05:43 PM):Zorc
glares at Henry. He now has a huge fro.
Myushu
(7:05:47 PM):Sniffle.
She stopped. "H-hai..?"
Polk
Kitsune (7:05:56 PM):Behemoth
growled at Zork, then gave a snort, pulling his paw off.
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:06:09 PM):"Please...
can you stay here until this all blows over...? I don't want to risk you
getting hurt."
Sinisquirrel
(7:06:34 PM):Lily
now had in hand all the various papers. "... Dawn-san, you don't think
you have an admirer, do you...?"
Rakath
Chaos (7:06:59 PM):"Rival
is a better term for it," Dawn grins, "It should be fun to face him again."
Myushu
(7:07:34 PM):"...
I won't be in your way, Amado... I just want... ah..."
Polk
Kitsune (7:08:03 PM):Another
piece of paper joined in, the corner lit as it joined the pile: I'm
looking forward to it...
Sinisquirrel
(7:08:12 PM):"Hmn...
Thinking of opposing forces, I suppose I should be talking to Ed right
about now."
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:08:12 PM):"I
don't think you'd get in the way... this is just going to be dangerous..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:08:24 PM):"And
you can only fight by getting hurt..."
Myushu
(7:08:57 PM):"Eheh..."
she nodded her head at Eon, "Right."
Rakath
Chaos (7:09:14 PM):"I
need to get some practice in. Core of the mission based on not crashing,"
Dawn winked, and gave Lily a kiss on the lips.
Sinisquirrel
(7:09:36 PM):ALily
stifled the flaming corner by putting her own hand over it, adding the
paper to her pile... and suffered a blush as Dawn quickly kissed her. "A...
ah... right... I'll see you when it's over, then..."
kwikkidus
(7:09:46 PM):He
smiles back, tilting his head to the side a bit. "That reminds me, you
uh... doing anything after the apocalypse?"
Myushu (7:09:50 PM):She
lowered her head. "I know.. but.."
Myushu (7:10:16 PM):Jenna
giggled. "Nothing in paticular."
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:10:30 PM):"But...?"
Myushu
(7:11:22 PM):"I
don't care if I get hurt or if it's dangerous... So long as I can help
you..."
kwikkidus
(7:11:31 PM):"Oh!
Well, uh... assuming we survive and all, and the world isn't over and we
saved the day and everything... I mean... which is to say... Erm... And...
Uuuuuh...." He looks away, blushing slightly. "I mean... y'know?"
kwikkidus
(7:11:43 PM):Professionalism!
Plummeting! Also awesomeness!
Rakath
Chaos (7:12:11 PM):Dawn
snaps her fingers, and vanishes in another cyclone of leaves.
Myushu
(7:12:24 PM):Jenna
blushed as well, giggling a little more. "I'd love to, Eon-kun."
Polk
Kitsune (7:12:26 PM):A
dart flew into the pile of paper, the red word BURN written on it, creating
a small explosion as it hit the pile.
kwikkidus
(7:12:46 PM):"SWEET!"
Victory arm-pump.
Myushu (7:13:12 PM):"Aww..
You're so cute, Eon-kun!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:13:19 PM):"...."
Polk
Kitsune (7:13:19 PM):Lola
blinked, and stayed quiet, still looking at the 'protectors...'
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:13:33 PM):He
sighs. "All right... you can come."
kwikkidus
(7:13:46 PM):"C-c...CUTE?!"
He blinks, eyes widening in disbelief. "I'm... c... c... cute?!"
Sinisquirrel
(7:13:58 PM):"...!"
Lily dropped the pile, watching it as it burst on the ground. "... eh.
Saves me a trip to a garbage can." And with that, she's off to Ed's place.
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:13:59 PM):"More
like retarded."
Rakath
Chaos (7:14:34 PM):Wynn
walks over and gives Pikeru a look, Pikeru smiles as both duel spirits
sit down and play patty cake. Everyone say 'awww' now.
Myushu
(7:14:41 PM):"..Yeah.
o_o; Cute." she then glared at Enishi.
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:14:47 PM):Seconds
later, Amado's scooter lands in front of Lily.
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:15:00 PM):Yes.
Lands. It fell straight down. How it got there? No idea.
kwikkidus
(7:15:13 PM):I
am... cute. Alright. I can work with this. At least I'm not evil.
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:15:40 PM):"....."
Sinisquirrel
(7:15:45 PM):Pause.
Blink. "... that was abrupt."
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:15:52 PM):He
turns to Maiden. "I TOLD you that shortcut was gonna kick ass!"
kwikkidus
(7:16:01 PM):"...
All right. I can work with that!"
Myushu (7:16:12 PM):"Hai."
Maiden nodded her head, clinging tightly to him.
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:16:15 PM):He
then turns to Lily. "Lily! Lily! We traveled through the sixth dimension!"
Myushu
(7:16:36 PM):Maiden
gave Lily-chan a look. I want to talk to you soon.
Sinisquirrel
(7:16:57 PM):"...
sixth?" Was that even possible? There was the fourth dimension, and only
theories of the fifth...
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:17:07 PM):"Yeah!"
Sinisquirrel
(7:17:33 PM):She
gazed at Maiden, feeling discomfort in the look the duel monster was giving.
...
Fine.
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:17:36 PM):"There
was this wormhole in my shower, and we drove my scooter into it, and then
we got sucked through space and time and..." he's going on like a six-year
old or something.
Sinisquirrel
(7:18:04 PM):Hand
over mouth. "Was there something relevant you wished to discuss?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:18:33 PM):Despite
hand muffling: "Then we met Buddha and Jesus and Allah and Shiva and Einstein
and Superman and The King of All Cosmos... Can you believe Einstein had
ideas for a nuclear-powered toaster-waffle iron combo!?"
Myushu
(7:18:38 PM):"I
believe it's relevant... but private."
Sinisquirrel
(7:19:11 PM):She
had been speaking to Amado, but Maiden's answer was all right.
Myushu
(7:19:35 PM):Jenna
smiled at Eon. "Good. ^^;" She then took sight of Wynn and Pikeru, and...
"Awww."
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:20:14 PM):"....Er."
He removes the hand and coughs. "Sorry. So. The Monarchs."
kwikkidus
(7:20:20 PM):Eon
looks over. "... Heh. Now THAT is cute."
Sinisquirrel
(7:20:25 PM):"All
right, then..." Back to Amado. "Yes?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:22:13 PM):"We
should probably go inform Ed...and that stalker-chick is an Osiris too."
Sinisquirrel
(7:23:03 PM):"Right.
I needed to talk to him about the Takumi-sensei/Doriado incident anyway."
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:23:46 PM):"...Oi.
Double-team may be more efficient there."
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:24:43 PM):There
is a KNOCK upon Ed's door.
Sinisquirrel
(7:24:46 PM):Lily
recalled how he'd not wanted to speak to Ed earlier... but if he was willing
to now, what was there to worry about? "Mm."
kwikkidus
(7:25:25 PM):Ed
opens it a crack, peeking out. "Hello?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:26:41 PM):There's
a slightly diminutive person in a male Osiris uniform standing there with....a
sketchbook under one arm, and a shinai strapped to his back.
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:26:58 PM):"Er....Hello...You're
Ed Finklestein-Sempai, right?" He asks.
kwikkidus
(7:27:19 PM):"Yeah,
that's me... but... Wait. I'm someone's Sempai?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:28:02 PM):"...Uh.
Well...you're...mine...?" He half-says/half-asks.
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:28:16 PM):"Shall
we go then?" He asks.
Sinisquirrel
(7:28:34 PM):"Right.
My method or yours?"
kwikkidus
(7:28:39 PM):"..."
eyebrow quirk. "Alright, c'mon in."
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:29:01 PM):"Depends.
What's your method?"
Sinisquirrel
(7:29:22 PM):Lily
whispers something of making his scooter simply drop into Ed's room.
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:29:36 PM):"Thanks...."
He bows slightly, and walks in. "Er...I haven't even introduced myself...my
name is Jou Honjou..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:29:50 PM):"...
I dunno. We'd need a pretty kickass ramp for that..."
Sinisquirrel
(7:30:14 PM):Grin.
"No. We wouldn't."
kwikkidus
(7:30:43 PM):"Ed
Finkestein, but you already knew that. So, what brings you to my room,
Jou? Wait--lemme guess. Youuuuu... need to know something about the occult?
Or this shadow game that's going on all over the island?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:30:56 PM):"....I'VE
GOT IT."
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:30:59 PM):Minutes
later.
kwikkidus
(7:31:00 PM):Doriado,
if anyone cares, is asleep in Ed's bed.
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:31:13 PM):Flame
Wingman is on his knees. "I AM NOT A RAMP!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:31:28 PM):Amado
turns and looks at Lily. "... Oh. We don't need a ramp?"
Sinisquirrel
(7:31:52 PM):"..."
Lily has taken Maiden's hand, threatening to make the transition without
him...
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:32:02 PM):"Ah...well...actually...I
wanted to ask you for....dueling advice." He held up his dueling deck.
kwikkidus
(7:32:19 PM):"...
D-d-d-d--you ARE aware that I'm hopeless, right?"
Myushu (7:32:23 PM):Maiden
quite disliked holding hands with Lily, but... she let it be.
Sinisquirrel
(7:32:41 PM):"No.
We don't... but do continue if you'd prefer...?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:32:52 PM):"...
Oh. Is this some Captain Planet thing? Fi- ....WOO HOO!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:33:15 PM):He
leaps on the scooter, revs it up, and hits Flame Wingman like a ramp, shooting
into the air, and causing the E-Hero to let out a string of expletives.
Sinisquirrel
(7:33:33 PM):"..."
A small smile... "Shall we, Maiden?"
Myushu
(7:33:37 PM):"...
Amado's so cute. Sigh..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:33:42 PM):"Hopeless....No...I
think you're rather skilled..."
Myushu
(7:33:52 PM):"Sakuma...
Who do you love?"
kwikkidus
(7:34:19 PM):"But
all I ever do is lose... Ahh well." He shakes his head. "You must be pretty
hard off, having to come to me for help. What can I do for you?"
Sinisquirrel
(7:34:21 PM):"...
Don't ask that now, for both our sakes." Then, without another word, the
two seemed to disappear.
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:35:16 PM):"Well
I...." He lookes up. "Do you hear somethi-" Amado crashes through the roof
on his scooter.
Sinisquirrel
(7:35:37 PM):Meanwhile,
Lily and Maiden appear on either side of Doriado in Ed's bed.
kwikkidus
(7:36:10 PM):Ed
looks up, and gets a faceful of scooter. "GAAAK!" It lands on him.
Myushu (7:36:13 PM):"...
Oh!" Blink.
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:36:24 PM):"....."
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:36:28 PM):Jou
sketches.
kwikkidus
(7:37:04 PM):"Mmm..."
Doriado wakes up. "What are you two doing in my bed?"
Sinisquirrel
(7:37:21 PM):Lily
has her eyes closed. "Catching up on sleep."
kwikkidus
(7:38:40 PM):"Do
you mind? Neither of you are allowed in this bed."
Sinisquirrel
(7:39:32 PM):So
inhospitible... "Of course..." She rolled over and got out of the bed,
brushing her skirt down. "I'm here to talk with your darling, anyway."
Myushu
(7:39:57 PM):"Ah,
well. Excuse me." Maiden grumbled, hopping off the bed.
kwikkidus
(7:39:58 PM):"He's
not my-- dah, whatever."
kwikkidus
(7:40:58 PM):Ed
has just been crushed by a scooter. He doesn't look too good. "Uwhhaaa...
glslef... mlesss...." @__@
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:41:20 PM):"....."
Amado backs up a bit.
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:41:22 PM):"Sorry
Ed."
kwikkidus
(7:41:35 PM):"Why...
must it always be me...?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:42:39 PM):"..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:43:05 PM):"Ed,
if you want to make peace with Takumi signify it by continuing to lay there
being dazed." He says this all in one breatrh.
kwikkidus
(7:43:17 PM):Ed
sits up. "Right then. Understood."
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:43:39 PM):"..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:43:48 PM):"You're
not gonna make this easy, are you Finklestein?"
kwikkidus
(7:43:59 PM):"Probably
not. So why did you burst through my ceiling?"
Polk
Kitsune (7:46:42 PM):Lola
sighed, pulling out a comb and started to groom the little purple kitty.
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:46:43 PM):"To
make you make peace with Takumi."
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:46:55 PM):"And
I swear to god, if you make this hard for me, I will make your life MISERABLE."
kwikkidus
(7:47:07 PM):"You
mean more miserable than LANDING A SCOOTER ON MY FACE?!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:47:18 PM):"MUCH
more miserable."
BreakneckChao
(7:47:31 PM):Henry
propped himself up against a tree, relaxing a bit.
Myushu (7:47:37 PM):Jenna
looked around. Still good. She then looked down at Lola, giving a little
smile at the sight of the cat.
Sinisquirrel
(7:47:48 PM):"Do
you really want to test it, Ed? Do you feel... lucky?"
Myushu
(7:48:23 PM):"So,
Eon-kun.. What do you have in mind?" she put another pocky into her mouth.
kwikkidus
(7:48:34 PM):"...
I never feel lucky. Misery happens. You learn to deal with it." He sighs.
"And I'm not going to forgive Takumi-sensei just because you guys said
to."
Polk
Kitsune (7:48:39 PM):The
kitty squirmed a little and meowed, purring as Lola groomed it. "Why do
you always have to move so much, huh?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:48:40 PM):Enishi
slept. Zorc wondered why all humans were so damn disrespectful.
Endless Traveler
(7:48:46 PM):About
time Rane popped in somewhere! Since he assumed the meeting of the Monarch
planning was over, he decided to wander the Obelisk dorms for a while.
His nose would be in a book, obviously studying it or something.
kwikkidus
(7:49:02 PM):"Well...!"
Eon slams his hand into his palm. "I don't know yet!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:49:35 PM):"Oh,
what?"
Polk
Kitsune (7:49:38 PM):Behemoth
laid behind Lola, watching her with his two huge eyes...
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:49:50 PM):"He
insults your Duel Spirit, and you go all psycho on the guy?"
Myushu:
Jenna blinked.
"Ah, heheh. ^^; Okay, then."
Viewtiful Rekk:
"Please. That's stupid."
kwikkidus:
"... More than that. He destroyed my
grades. But yes. He insulted Dori-chan."
BreakneckChao:
Henry looked at the tree, then at the
behemoth... at the tree, and the behemoth... And he got up, went over to
the monster, stat down, and laid his head on the best. "Bee, you're much
more comfy than a tree!"
Viewtiful Rekk:
"Hrmph. That'd be like me trying to kick the ass of every guy who insults
Maiden or Lily."
kwikkidus:
"Yeeah. I'm thinking if I start thinking
now, I'll have a plan by the time this all tides itself over."
BreakneckChao:
Henry patted the giant.
Viewtiful Rekk:
"...Well see."
Viewtiful Rekk:
"The difference between me and you is I can kick those asses Ed."
Viewtiful Rekk:
"You're small, frail, and have no self-esteem."
Polk Kitsune:
Bee turned
his head at Henry, about to give a growl, but quickly stopped, staring
at him...
kwikkidus:
"... I don't intend to kick his ass.
I just don't have to work with him."
Polk Kitsune:
He bowed
his head a bit, and turned back to Lola.
Myushu:
Every guy that
insults Maiden? Who would dare insult her?
Viewtiful Rekk:
I'll give you a hint. She loves black and is about two feet to your right.
Myushu:
"Heh, I see...
Do you really have to plan out a date?" she tilted her head.
kwikkidus
(7:54:39 PM):"Jenna-chan,
really. Is there anything I don't have to plan out? It's kind of an obsessive
compulsive thing with me."
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:54:49 PM):"Well."
Myushu
(7:56:03 PM):"Ahh.."
Jenna nodded her head, looking up for a moment. "So then.. I can expect
one hell of a date, hm?"
kwikkidus
(7:57:01 PM):"Probably."
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:57:29 PM):"Ed.
You and Takumi are the smartest ones out of all of us, and the most knowledgable
about this stuff."
kwikkidus
(7:58:01 PM):"All
Takumi knows is computers, vouyerism, and duelists. Besides, why doesn't
he work with Enishi? He's supposed to be a genius."
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:58:10 PM):"So
you can either be stupid and petty about it, and refuse to work with him,
and severely cut out resources...or you can help us."
Polk
Kitsune (7:58:45 PM):Right
over the window, Meso was placing a stethoscope on the wall, a pair of
bungee cords holding him up, trying to listen in...
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:58:52 PM):"Hey.
I can suggest that
all three of you work together."
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:58:56 PM):"Is
that what you want?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:58:58 PM):"Huh?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:59:01 PM):"Didn't
think so."
kwikkidus
(7:59:15 PM):"...Fine.
I'll do it on two conditions."
Viewtiful
Rekk (7:59:37 PM):"Those
being?"
kwikkidus
(8:00:01 PM):"One,
he changes my grades back. Two, he doesn't insult Dori-chan anymore."
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:00:12 PM):"Done."
kwikkidus
(8:00:30 PM):"Alright.
What're we doing?"
Sinisquirrel
(8:00:38 PM):"That
was simple... As long as Jenna remembers to talk to Takumi-sensei..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:00:39 PM):"Offing
Monarchs."
Sinisquirrel
(8:00:57 PM):"...
wait a minute."
Polk
Kitsune (8:01:13 PM):Meso
blinked, and grinned.
Sinisquirrel
(8:01:14 PM):"Soundproof
check."
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:01:20 PM):"..."
Polk
Kitsune (8:01:29 PM):He
blinked. Uh oh...
kwikkidus
(8:01:41 PM):"Haah,
NOW I see why you needed my help." Ed says, with a wink. "But first...
we should go somewhere a little less eavesdroppable."
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:01:57 PM):"Oh.
Right. Bugs..."
Sinisquirrel
(8:02:18 PM):"Insignificant
insects..." Lily says, lightly padding to the window, and BANGING a fist
on it.
kwikkidus
(8:02:23 PM):"No,
you don't need to mind the roaches. It's the duelists you need to watch
out for."
Myushu (8:02:54 PM):"Mm...
I can't wait, then." Jenna smiled then paused. "... Hrm... Oh yeah! I need
talk to Takumi-sensei."
kwikkidus
(8:03:19 PM):"...
Lovely. Is he STILL trying to give you lessons in the midst of all of this
or something?"
Polk
Kitsune (8:03:32 PM):Meso
tried HARD not to scream, a huge ringing sound echoing in his ears. He
bit his lower lip, his eyes open wide.
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:03:54 PM):"Oooh!
Let me try!"
Sinisquirrel
(8:03:56 PM):Stupid.
You're much too excitable to sneak up...
kwikkidus
(8:04:13 PM):"...
If anyone breaks my window, I'm telling on them!"
Sinisquirrel
(8:04:16 PM):"Don't
worry..." Lily says, rubbing her hand and smiling at Ed. "I only shook
the paneling, not the glass..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:04:16 PM):Amado
lightly pads over to the window....
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:04:18 PM):Deep
breath.
Myushu
(8:04:25 PM):"Ah,
well... ^^ I need to try and get him to stop being upset with Ed."
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:04:34 PM):"XTREEEEEEEEEEEEME!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:04:42 PM):He
screams this VERY loudly.
Myushu
(8:04:55 PM):"Ahn.."
she covered her ears.
Polk
Kitsune (8:05:03 PM):Meso
pulled the stethoscopes out, watching the ends shake. "Woah..."
Sinisquirrel
(8:05:19 PM):Cue
similar ear-cover.
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:05:40 PM):"Anyway..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:05:53 PM):"So.
Where are that ditzy little girl and Concicle?"
kwikkidus
(8:05:57 PM):"Ohh."
Polk
Kitsune (8:06:16 PM):Meso
cleaned his ears a bit. "Knew I should have used the air vents..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:06:45 PM):To
those who are visually astute (or can see past the obvious), it would be
easily noticable that Jou is really just Jo... in male clothing. And shorter
hair.
kwikkidus
(8:06:59 PM):"You
mean Rane, right...? Ehh... I don't know. And which girl?"
Sinisquirrel
(8:07:03 PM):"Don't
know, but that little girl is over there..." Lily pointed.
kwikkidus
(8:07:23 PM):Ed
blinks. "He's a girl?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:07:32 PM):"..."
Amado looks at her pointing. "...That's a boy, Lily."
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:08:00 PM):Jou's
eyes widen temporarily. "Ah, ah...no...I'm not a girl." He shakes his head.
Myushu
(8:08:05 PM):"Hope
he's not stubburn..." Jenna took out her PDA, trying to call Takumi.
Sinisquirrel
(8:08:08 PM):Lily
looks at Jo/u. "But you are Jo, yes?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:08:21 PM):"Er...yes..."
Sinisquirrel
(8:09:27 PM):"All
right, then. I'm not particularly interested in knowing why s... he has
changed, but we have our girl from yesterday."
kwikkidus
(8:09:50 PM):"Another
Omasu-chan, eh?"
Rakath
Chaos (8:12:36 PM):"No
I won't appologize to that figment of Ed's overactive fantasy life," Takumi
answers as the PDA blips on.
Sinisquirrel
(8:12:55 PM):"It
appears to be that way..." Lily peers closly at Jou, thinking this change
had put Amado's to shame... "But this one is a lot cuter."
kwikkidus
(8:13:34 PM):"Ehh,
I don't have an opinion on the matter."
Polk
Kitsune (8:13:46 PM):Meso
pocketted the stethoscope back in, and pulled out a can of paint once more,
and a small firecracker, a smile on his face, tying down the two together.
Sinisquirrel
(8:15:00 PM):"At
any rate... shall we?" She began motioning Jou and whatever others to the
door. "Ed, you had a place in mind, yes? Mind leading?"
kwikkidus
(8:15:27 PM):"...I
did?" Ed blinks, quite obviously taken by surprise.
Polk
Kitsune (8:15:41 PM):He
started to climb back up on the roof, and looked down at the hole Amado
had created with his scooter. "Tsk Tsk Tsk..."
Myushu
(8:15:51 PM):"Ah!"
Jenna blinked, "But Takumi-sensei! Please.."
Sinisquirrel
(8:15:58 PM):"You
were the one who had said "Less eavesdroppable," correct?"
kwikkidus
(8:16:08 PM):"Oh
yeah! To the bathroom!"
Rakath
Chaos (8:16:34 PM):Covered
Core notices what is going on, and after a quick word with Takumi, is given
permission to fire a small missle at Meso's location.
Sinisquirrel
(8:16:57 PM):"My,
my... boys' or girls'?"
Rakath
Chaos (8:17:20 PM):Set
to detonate a few feet above Meso, not to hurt him, but it'll be loud and
cover him in soot.
kwikkidus
(8:17:25 PM):Ed
points at the door that's right there in his room. "Personal. It should
be big enough, and it's pretty much soundproof."
Sinisquirrel
(8:17:52 PM):"Ah..."
Nod. "There shouldn't be a window in there, and only one duct... fairly
ideal."
Polk
Kitsune (8:18:01 PM):Meso
lit up the firecracker, and let it drop into the hole, into Ed's room.
"Should make a lot of fi-" *BOOM!*
Polk
Kitsune (8:18:16 PM):"AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!"
kwikkidus
(8:18:22 PM):Ed
notes the bomb, and then RUNS to the bathroom. "YAAGH!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:18:36 PM):"..."
Jou blushes oh-so-faintly. "Er...yes...let's go..." He says, nodding however,and
gets up....before noticing the missile.
Sinisquirrel
(8:19:03 PM):"...
Well, now." Lily kicks the close-to-kersploding device into a closet.
Rakath
Chaos (8:19:19 PM):Takumi
turns attention back to Jenna, "Sorry, but I really don't feel the need
to say sorry to a Duel spirit that cost me six hours of computer repair."
Polk
Kitsune (8:19:25 PM):Meso
covered his ears, and started to cough heavilly, his whole body blackened.
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:20:04 PM):He
blinks
a couple times. "....Uuh....Ed-Sempai...it's okay to come out."
Polk
Kitsune (8:20:05 PM):"Oooooogh...
I knew those aliens didn't like me. Shouldn't have sent them a resumé."
kwikkidus
(8:20:16 PM):Ed
peeks out. "...Really?"
Myushu (8:20:52 PM):"..Six
hours? Eee.. Well, you could just.. not be angry with Ed anymore, at least?
I mean, if you still are and all..."
Polk
Kitsune (8:20:53 PM):"As
soon as my ears stop ringing, I'll do something about it... Oooogh..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:21:17 PM):"...OKAY.
Let's go already."
kwikkidus
(8:21:36 PM):"You
know what? Fill me in on the way. That'll be faster. Who am I going with?"
Sinisquirrel
(8:21:52 PM):"Right."
All parties exiting the room...
kwikkidus
(8:22:05 PM):Or
what remains of the room, rather.
Rakath
Chaos (8:22:26 PM):Takumi
sighs, "Look, he works on his research about what's going on, I'll work
on turning it into practical and helpful data, someone be our messenger,
everything works, right?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:22:38 PM):"So...should
we go get Concicle on the way?
Sinisquirrel
(8:23:14 PM):"If
you mean Rane, yes..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:23:41 PM):"Rane-Sempai...?
Yes. I agree." Jou nods, and pulls out his PDA. DIAL DIAL DIAL DIAL DIAL
DIAL SEND.
kwikkidus
(8:23:47 PM):"Right...
we should. Which Monarch are we going after?"
Myushu (8:24:24 PM):"Well..
Alright! I guess that's better than nothing."
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:27:14 PM):Jou
is dialing up Rane, btw.
Endless Traveler
(8:28:00 PM):*?*...
He stopped walking in the hallway when he heard the PDA beep, closing his
book to get the PDA out. "Oh look, it's Jo."
*!* "Oh, Ms. Honjou! Hello."
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:28:56 PM):"Aheh...no
Ms. actually....but hello, Rane-Sempai!"
Polk
Kitsune (8:29:45 PM):Meso
started to dust himself off. "There... that wasn't so bad... At least I
know what they're up to." He pulled out his PDA. DIAL DIAL DIAL DIAL DIAL
DIAL SEND. "Alastor? Report time."
Endless Traveler
(8:30:05 PM):"How
is everything going?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:31:34 PM):"WHAT."
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:32:31 PM):"Everything
is fine...we were just headed to....uh..." He glances at Lily. "Lily-sempai.
Where are we headed?"
Polk
Kitsune (8:32:34 PM):He
hooked his bungee rope to the border, and jumped roof, back to the ground,
trying to get away from the aliens. "Big kahuna? Looks like the meddlers
are trying to go for the leftover monarchs."
Sinisquirrel
(8:33:03 PM):"To
Rane's to pick him up."
Polk
Kitsune (8:33:16 PM):"Didn't
catch where they've stashed Behemoth, but their forces are thinning, splitting
up..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:33:35 PM):"Oh.
Huh. They're all morons then. Find the other two gods and take them then."
Endless Traveler
(8:33:58 PM):"Headed
to. . .?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:34:04 PM):"...Oh."
Back to the PDA. "We're headed to your dorm to pick you up!"
Endless Traveler
(8:35:20 PM):"Eh?"
"I
take it they're starting now." "Ah, I see.
Alright. I was just walking around the dorms. I'll be back before you come
by, hopefully."
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:35:59 PM):"Okay....See
you in a bit." He nods, and clicks off the PDA.
Polk
Kitsune (8:36:19 PM):Meso
smirked. "Sounds good. Wish you could have seen the fire... Oh well..."
He shook his head. "I'll see what I can find."
kwikkidus
(8:36:24 PM):"So,
Jou... you needed dueling advice? What'd you want to ask?"
Endless Traveler
(8:37:23 PM):*PDA
click* Rane headed back to his dorm. "Are
you sure you studied enough?" "Hope so..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:37:54 PM):"Uh...well..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:39:46 PM):"Sometimes...I
think....it can't go on the offensive fast enough...but I have plenty of
strong offensive cards..."
kwikkidus
(8:40:31 PM):"So
then, you need to speed up getting those cards to the field? What kind
of deck is it you run?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:40:46 PM):"Ah...a
Water-Attribute deck..."
Sinisquirrel
(8:41:11 PM):Timeskip
and knock on Rane's door.
kwikkidus
(8:41:32 PM):"...Ahh!
Elements!" Ed claps. "Alright, fundamentally, the key to speed with a water
deck is abuse of A Legendary Ocean... You're running that, at least, right?"
Endless Traveler (8:41:47 PM):Rane's
door opened, and there he was. "Ah, Lily. Hello."
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:42:41 PM):Rane
> Ed in terms on importance. Attention goes to Rane. "Ah, hello Rane-Sempai!"
Sinisquirrel
(8:43:27 PM):"..."
A sympathetic look over to Ed. The poor guy just gets abused for no reason...
"Ready to go?"
kwikkidus
(8:43:37 PM):Ed
sighs heavily. "...Right. Go. Why not?"
Polk
Kitsune (8:43:59 PM):Meso
looked toward the buildings. "Behemoth... too big to fit in there..." He
shook his head. "Where do you hide a beast THAT BIG, without soemone noticing?"
Endless Traveler
(8:44:16 PM):*nod*
"Should
I stay here. . .? I don't want to get in your way."
*?*.. "Yeah, should he stay at the Academy?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:44:20 PM):"In
a mailbox, obviously."
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:44:48 PM):"Uhm....I
don't know...would you want to ride in the Crystal Core, Sasuke-Sempai?"
Rakath
Chaos (8:45:02 PM):"Well,
Behind you might work." Dawn says casually sneaking up on Meso.
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:45:06 PM):Amado
glances at Lily. "Y'know... we still gotta pick up Sammi before we
can go."
Endless Traveler
(8:45:22 PM):"How
many seats are in the Crystal Core, again...?"
Sinisquirrel
(8:45:46 PM):"Ah,
right..." Ponder. "You know Casey's number, right? Chances are she's with
him..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:46:25 PM):"Pfft.
No."
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:46:37 PM):"...Ah...I
don't know."
Polk
Kitsune (8:46:45 PM):"...OF
COURSE!" He pointed in the air, a cloud of dust flying off. "It's so obvious!"
He turned quickly, pulling out his gun and pointing at Dawn. "I really
oughta thank you..."
Sinisquirrel
(8:46:52 PM):"...
then I suppose we'll have to go looking for her..."
kwikkidus
(8:47:31 PM):Ed
just stares at the ground! "...Can we go? Really?"
Rakath
Chaos (8:47:34 PM):Dawn
casually pushes the gun away from her with a finger, "Let's not start that
again just yet, if you get paint on my tank top it'll just cause a scene."
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:48:16 PM):"Sounds
like a plan."
Endless Traveler
(8:48:30 PM):"I
think I remember Takumi saying Crystal Core seating four."
". . . How many seats does Crystal Core have again?"
*!* ";-;" face.
Polk
Kitsune (8:48:47 PM):Meso
smirked. "Hey, a scene like this could be worth millions..." He twirled
his gun in his hand, western style. "Sounds like you don't wana play no
more..."
Rakath
Chaos (8:47:50 PM):"Not
at all," Dawn grins, "Just not right now, very busy with things to do."
She grinned, "However after your group fails, or suceeds, at taking over
the world, I'd be happy to dance again."
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:49:55 PM):"Ah...
is something wrong, Rane-sempai?"
Sinisquirrel
(8:52:02 PM):"Well,
since you all are here... Report to Takumi-sensei so he can tell you what
you need to do."
kwikkidus
(8:52:22 PM):"...Fine."
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:52:27 PM):"Ah....right."
Jou nods.
Endless Traveler
(8:52:33 PM):"Alright."
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:53:41 PM):Timeskup'd!
Rakath
Chaos (8:53:42 PM):*
Batman style timeskip with logo! *
Polk
Kitsune (8:54:20 PM):Meso
grinned widely. "Good... I'll be bringing in the proper music then." He
tilted his had, looking in his coat a moment. "If you don't wanna dance,
then what do you desire?"
kwikkidus
(8:54:52 PM):"..."
Ed is quite silent, standing behind Rane and Jou.
Rakath
Chaos (8:55:03 PM):"Nothing,"
Dawn casually waves, "Just on my way to elsewhere."
Rakath
Chaos (8:55:28 PM):Fingersnap
into whirlwind of leaves vanish!
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:55:34 PM):Jou
steps into the DDR/Computer room...and looks around. "Hello...Takumi-sensei?"
Endless Traveler
(8:56:19 PM):Rane
followed Jo inside. Stalking, of course.
Polk
Kitsune (8:56:37 PM):Before
she could disapear, Meso leaned in, and quickly kissed her lips before
he pulled back, smirking.
Rakath
Chaos (8:57:02 PM):Before
she finishes vanishing, Dawn smacks him.
Polk
Kitsune (8:58:06 PM):Meso
took the hit, but kept grinning widely. "It was worth it..." He shook his
head, and started to treck toward the forrest again...
Rakath
Chaos (8:58:30 PM):Takumi
gets up, "Right, follow me." And he walks out the door, heading toward
the exit of the building.
kwikkidus
(8:58:51 PM):Ed
follows after him, quite silently.
Viewtiful
Rekk (8:59:15 PM):Jou
followz.
Endless Traveler
(8:59:33 PM):Rane
follows. *stalk*
Rakath
Chaos (9:01:46 PM):As
soon as they all are outside, Takumi holds up his Crystal Core, "Right,
Crystal Core should be able to auto-nav in, but I suggest one of you also
ready to pilot it if needed."
Rakath
Chaos (9:02:10 PM):"Also,
leave as soon as you destroy Mobius, don't dawdle." Crystal Core materializes,
and lets down a ladder.
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:02:46 PM):"Ah...okay...well
I have my Ambhibious Bugroth as well...." Jou holds the machine card up.
kwikkidus
(9:03:06 PM):Ed
climbs into the thing, and looks around.
...This would be SO much cooler
if it hadn't kicked my ass before.
Endless Traveler
(9:04:48 PM):Climbs
aboard the ship.
Rakath
Chaos (9:06:59 PM):Takumi
heads back in, to keep working on where any odd spiritual energy signatures
are spiking.
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:07:21 PM):"Ah...well
okay..." He just climbs into Crystal Core with Ed and Rane. The idea of
piloting Bugroth alone is not an appealing one.
kwikkidus
(9:07:27 PM):"...Alright.
Now. Does anyone have any idea how to work this thing?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:07:41 PM):"...."
Head shake.
Endless Traveler
(9:08:03 PM):"If
it was like driving a car, then maybe. . . I don't want to risk it."
kwikkidus
(9:08:28 PM):"Right...
I'll do it." Ed mutters, sitting down in the pilot seat. "Now... where's
the 'go' button...?"
Endless Traveler (9:08:41 PM):"He
said it could automatically navigate to where we're suppsed to be headed.
I wonder if it activates on it's own?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:08:46 PM):"...He
said it was auto-pilot, right...?"
kwikkidus
(9:09:13 PM):"Well,
yeaah. Uhhm... There's probably still a general engine startup button."
Rakath
Chaos (9:10:06 PM):Valley
girl type voice, "Hi, I'm like your auto-nav, Crystal Core's onboard computer,
but Cryssi is fine."
kwikkidus
(9:10:29 PM):Ed
sweatdrops. "Right... uhh... Take us to the cave, I guess?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:10:47 PM):"...."
Blink.
Endless Traveler
(9:10:52 PM):Rane
started looking around the ship. "Too bad a manual doesn't come with it.
. ." "Or does i-- oh my."
"C-Cryst-- er.. Crissi's a lady?" "Seems like
it." *blush*...
Rakath
Chaos (9:11:04 PM):"Totally
no problemo!" Ship flies toward the southern end of the island.
kwikkidus
(9:12:03 PM):"I
wish Dori-chan washere..." Ed mutters, shaking his head. "She could probably
get Mobiusto down the game without even a fight."
Rakath
Chaos (9:12:10 PM):"So
like, have you seen those rags Magician of Faith is wearing, what a fashion
loser."
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:13:32 PM):"...."
Glance at Rane.
Rane-Sempai...can we change that voice?
Endless Traveler
(9:14:12 PM):*?*...
If knew how to, possibly...
kwikkidus
(9:14:49 PM):"You're
a spaceship... what do you care about clothes?"
Rakath
Chaos (9:15:17 PM):"Gawd,
just because I can't wear clothes doesn't mean I can't appriciate what's
hot and what's not."
Rakath
Chaos (9:15:42 PM):Crystal
Core flies off from the island, pulls a U turn, and flies into the water.
Endless Traveler
(9:15:50 PM):If
I knew this was going to happen, I would have brought a book.
kwikkidus
(9:15:56 PM):Ed
facepalms, and sighs. "Just... get this mission over with so we can go
home?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:17:21 PM):"Okay,
okay, sorry...." Jou apologizes, even though he hadn't been the one who
said that.
Rakath
Chaos (9:17:29 PM):"Oh,
like totally, I so have to call people tonight." Lights turn on, sensor
display in front of Ed turning on, showing heat readings. One spot on the
readout is several degrees too cold to be natural.
Sinisquirrel
(9:17:59 PM):As
Crystal Core moves along, its passengers will notice the water becoming
more and more icy as they approach the monarch's domain.
kwikkidus
(9:18:15 PM):"Alright
then, let's headfor the anomaly. It looks like there's going to be a buildup
of icethere, so that's probably where Mobius is chillin'. Pardon the pun."
Rakath
Chaos (9:19:02 PM):"Gawd,
that was totally horrible, you should be shot from a cannon into frozen
waters for it."
kwikkidus
(9:19:25 PM):"Please
try to avoid it, for the moment I'm your pilot."
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:19:26 PM):"...I...sort
of agree with Cryssi-sempai..."
Rakath
Chaos (9:19:26 PM):She
moves toward the cold spot on the readout, entering a small sub aquatic
cave.
Endless Traveler
(9:19:30 PM):*!?*
"Please don't do that. He didn't mean to say that."
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:19:35 PM):Yes.
He just called the SHIP an upperclassman.
Sinisquirrel
(9:19:57 PM):"..."
A hand motion is made, ice surrounding the surfacing ship, growing thick
until it can't move.
kwikkidus
(9:20:14 PM):"Yeeeup.
And here's our Mobius."
Endless Traveler (9:20:26 PM):"Quite
an entrance.."
kwikkidus
(9:20:59 PM):"If
you say so..." The ice bobs upward, as ice tends to, and the ship surfaces.
>>'
Rakath
Chaos (9:21:26 PM):"I'm
like, totally stuck, it'll take some time for my lasers to cut this ice
off."
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:21:33 PM):"Guuh....."
Jou looks around at the water. C-cryssi-sempai..are you okay?"
kwikkidus
(9:22:09 PM):"We'll
deal with this inthe meanwhile." Ed says. "Open the... erm... whatever
the best way outfor us would be, so we can talk to Mobius."
Sinisquirrel
(9:22:25 PM):A
modern machine... Unless 'she' starts firing already, 'Cryssi' will find
that she'll have to warm her cannons first.
Rakath
Chaos (9:22:41 PM):The
top of the ship opens, letting the students out.
Rakath
Chaos (9:23:09 PM):Her
lasers warming up since she totally forgot to activate them earlier.
kwikkidus
(9:23:17 PM):Ed
climbs out, and shivers. It's just a spirit... you use one in your deck...
it's just a spirit... don't worry... relax... relax....
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:24:27 PM):Jou
does the same. It's okay...it's okay...it's okay...it's just a spirit
that can destroy enchantments with a flick of its wrist...its okay...its
okay...
Sinisquirrel
(9:24:54 PM):As
Ed shivers and tries to reassure himself, a spike of ice appears in front
of him, which then falls to water.
kwikkidus
(9:25:02 PM):...PANIC!!
kwikkidus
(9:25:22 PM):"G-g-g-g-g-g-gGAAAAAAAH!"
Ed yelps, falling onto his behind.
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:25:39 PM):"Ah!
Ed-sempai!"
Sinisquirrel
(9:26:01 PM):A
flutter is heard from above, and shadows are seen as the Frost Monarch
keeps himself hidden among the ice along the roof of the cave.
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:26:09 PM):Jou
turns to help Ed up.
Endless Traveler
(9:26:10 PM):Rane
climbed out, putting his glasses away afterward. Wasn't he usually blind
without them? "What's going on out he-- ...uh-oh?" Were supposed to
be trying to duel this thing!? I'm gonna faint... "Ed! Are you alright?!"
kwikkidus
(9:26:41 PM):"Mu-muh-mo-muhnarch!
Mobius! P-please don't do th-th-that!"
Sinisquirrel
(9:27:13 PM):"As
you wish." A spike appears BEHIND Ed now.
kwikkidus
(9:28:05 PM):Ed
falls forward thistime, and almost off the ship. In two seconds, he scrambles
back ontoit though. "Uwaaah! Why do they ALWAYS piock on me?!"
Sinisquirrel
(9:29:03 PM):"WHY
ARE YOU HERE?" Mobius booms, shaking the cavern with a hail of ice.
kwikkidus
(9:29:18 PM):"W-w-w-w-w-we're
here t-t-to ask y-y-you to stop!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:29:48 PM):"Y-y-y-yes,
b-b-but w-w-w-we're h-h-h-h-here p-p-p-p-peacefully!" Wow, stuttering in
stereo.
Sinisquirrel
(9:30:14 PM):A
pause. "To stop what, praytell, children?"
kwikkidus
(9:30:42 PM):"Y-y-y-your
sh-sh-shadow g-g-game!" Ed yells back. "P-p-p-people are g-g-getting hurt!"
Endless Traveler (9:30:50 PM):*twitch*...
"Y-Yes.. What you're doing i-isn't exactly good for this a-area. . ."
Endless Traveler
(9:31:21 PM):"Perhaps
we could c-come to a comp-promise on the matter..?"
Sinisquirrel
(9:31:24 PM):"I
do nothing myself but exist... and I exist in quiet solitude. I care not
what goes on on the outside."
Endless Traveler
(9:31:46 PM):"R-Really?"
kwikkidus
(9:31:51 PM):"F-f-fine
then! W-w-we just won't l-l-l-leave!"
Sinisquirrel
(9:32:37 PM):Ice
begins to form around Ed's feet. "Is that a threat?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:33:00 PM):"Aaah!
Ed-sempai, please don't make him mad!"
kwikkidus
(9:33:10 PM):"I-I-I-I'm
not sure... Is l-l-loitering a th-th-threat?"
Endless Traveler (9:33:11 PM):"E-Edward...!
D-Don't make him a-angry. It won't h-help.."
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:33:13 PM):"Mobius-sempai,
please don't hurt us...!"
Sinisquirrel
(9:34:21 PM):A
cowardly lot... But they are only children... The king of cold leaps
from his hiding place among the mirror-like ice, landing gracefully before
stepping up to the shortest.
kwikkidus
(9:35:11 PM):Ed
looks uup at him. "...Meeeerrr... y-y-you know, you're a lot m-m-more intimidating
in person th-th-than on your c-c-card..."
Endless Traveler (9:35:46 PM):Quite
a fellow... This...isn't going to be easy, I take it. His right hand tensed
up. Probably trying to stave off the cold in his thoughts. He glanced over
at Ed before speaking to Mobius. "If you say you live here peacefully,
then do you know what your accomplices are doing is wrong...?"
Sinisquirrel
(9:37:19 PM):Mobius
regards Rane with a cold stare. "We live. It is not a crime... Do you understand
what you are asking for from me?"
Rakath
Chaos (9:37:23 PM):Cryssi's
lasers are still warming up.
kwikkidus
(9:37:40 PM):Ed
nods. "We are asking you... to please go back to your world."
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:38:06 PM):"Please...you
can still exist here, even without this Shadow Game..."
Sinisquirrel
(9:38:16 PM):"Do
you understand what 'going back' requires?"
kwikkidus
(9:38:28 PM):"Y-you
have to be destroyed?"
Endless Traveler (9:38:45 PM):"Hope
it's not that..."
Endless Traveler
(9:38:54 PM):"What
are the requirements?"
Sinisquirrel
(9:38:55 PM):He
bows his head as a simple nod. "I felt it when the Thunder Monarch died."
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:39:09 PM):"...Oh..."
Endless Traveler
(9:39:22 PM):He
gave a slight frown. "You may be living here, but being here the way you
are right now isn't exactly the best way of co-existing with us... Are
you sure there isn't another way other than being destroyed?"
kwikkidus
(9:39:27 PM):"...So
to get you to return to your world, we have to destroy you."
Sinisquirrel
(9:39:54 PM):"If
you understand the Shadow Games, I believe you know the answer."
kwikkidus
(9:40:23 PM):Ed
sighs. "So then... someone has to defeat you. Or some bigger monster."
Endless Traveler (9:40:29 PM):Hoping
he wasn't going to say that. . .
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:41:38 PM):"Ed-sempai..."
Sinisquirrel
(9:41:38 PM):Looking
at the three, how they searched for a different way... reminded him of
a different time. The ruler sat down on the cold floor. "Tell me what goes
on outside."
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:41:45 PM):"There
has to be a different way..."
Rakath
Chaos (9:42:21 PM):"Like,
outside is a total disaster, the clothes are horrible, and people are totally
rude."
kwikkidus
(9:42:35 PM):Ed
nods. "Al-alright. Outside, on the island, there's total chaos. Some people
were hurting, others are trying to use this to gain power over the world,
and... She's currently on the island."
Endless Traveler (9:42:39 PM):..*blink*
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:42:39 PM):Jou
nearly facefaults.
kwikkidus
(9:42:48 PM):He
points at Cryssi.
Rakath
Chaos (9:42:53 PM):"And
I mean Gawd, can't people find good hobbies other than world conquest,
pick fashion, or stamps, please."
Endless Traveler
(9:43:24 PM):"It's
like one of those tabletop divide-and-conquer games...and there are some
people that are taking advantage of this in negative ways."
Sinisquirrel
(9:43:32 PM):Mobius
chooses to ignore the squakbox machine. "... she?"
kwikkidus
(9:43:59 PM):Ed
points at the ship. "The one who doesn't care about anything but clothing."
Endless Traveler (9:44:34 PM):*?*
"Actually, I think I got used to her clothing talk. Reminds me of my sister,
who I'm used to."
Sinisquirrel
(9:44:47 PM):"...
I see..."
kwikkidus
(9:45:21 PM):"There
is... some good going on up there as well, I admit. People are meeting
and getting to speak to the monsters they love so much--some of them."
Rakath
Chaos (9:45:27 PM):Cryssi
so totally has a hologram of a pretty valley girl, only blue and ghostlike
appear with the others, "Geez, you don't have to point. That's so many
levels of rude and uncool."
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:46:17 PM):".
. ." Blinkblink.
kwikkidus
(9:46:24 PM):"Others
are finding their spirits to be slightly less nice, and are having to stop
them from causing rampant destruction. To some degree, they succeed. To
others,they fail."
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:46:24 PM):Jou
waves his Shinai through the hologram.
kwikkidus
(9:46:32 PM):Ed
is SO ignoring Cryssi.
Endless Traveler (9:46:56 PM):"Though,
there are others that share in their monster's destructive nature."
Rakath
Chaos (9:46:56 PM):"Like,
totally keep your hands to yourself. You're so not my type."
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:47:17 PM):"...Whuh?!"
Jou nearly blushes. "B-but...you're a machine!"
Sinisquirrel
(9:47:40 PM):The
frost king sighs lowly, shaking his head. "It is the same as it is everywhere..."
Rakath
Chaos (9:48:07 PM):"Just
because I'm a machine doesn't let you be an unfeeling jerk. I've totally
got feelings, unlike that cold loser Covered Core."
Endless Traveler
(9:48:11 PM):*?*...
"This is happening in other places?" No, duh.
Sinisquirrel
(9:49:18 PM):By
now the monarch's feet and lap are covered in thin ice, and the body seems
to be joining.
kwikkidus
(9:49:44 PM):"Ye...
yeah. The same sorts of things go on all over the place... But some of
the problems here, on this island, we can do something about. So... we
have to try, y'know? Please... I know it's asking a lot, but... please
help."
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:50:03 PM):"..."
Jou notices Mobius slowly freezing up. "...Ah...are you okay...?"
Sinisquirrel
(9:50:43 PM):"I
am fine..." He takes a moment to think of the right words.
Endless Traveler
(9:51:24 PM):*frown*...
If he's doing what I think he's doing, then no, he isn't.
Sinisquirrel
(9:52:40 PM):"I
can only apologize that my presence has caused any pain. As a ruler, I
have sworn to protect the people beneath me..."
Sinisquirrel
(9:53:46 PM):"It
was my selfish wish that by ignoring the outside, that what I had heard
from others was true."
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:53:51 PM):...Jou
is almost half-expecting him to say that he's of sound, mind and body at
this point.
Endless Traveler
(9:54:23 PM):*?*...
Sinisquirrel
(9:54:43 PM):As
he can, he nods to several appearing aquatic monsters...
Rakath
Chaos (9:55:26 PM):Gigobyte
crawls up onto Mobius's shoulder... don't ask why, he just does.
kwikkidus
(9:56:00 PM):Ed
shuts his eyes, seeming lost in thought.
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:56:15 PM):"...?"
Sinisquirrel
(9:56:20 PM):Mobius
turns his head slightly. "I apologize for ignoring you... you were right,
after all."
Sinisquirrel
(9:57:15 PM):Then,
speaking back to the children. "I am also sorry to inform you that, yes,
you will have to destroy me. In a few moments, I should be rendered entirely
brittle..."
Rakath
Chaos (9:57:44 PM):Gigobyte
hugs Mobius... crying tears that freeze up.
kwikkidus
(9:58:01 PM):"...Mobius.
You.. you have my thanks."
Endless Traveler (9:58:19 PM):"Thank
you, Mobius...and sorry that it had to end this way."
Sinisquirrel
(9:58:25 PM):"At
which point your modern machine will be freed. If you are truly here for
the right reason, I trust you will do what is right."
Sinisquirrel
(9:58:54 PM):"If
not... they will be after you."
Viewtiful
Rekk (9:59:04 PM):"...Mobius-sempai..."
kwikkidus
(9:59:23 PM):"...Right.
We'll do what has to be done."
Sinisquirrel
(10:00:03 PM):For
many years he had longed to find the place wherein peace existed... and
here, in this place, his existing brought little of it...
Sinisquirrel
(10:00:47 PM):These
were the final thoughts as the ruler of the cold shut his eyes, completing
his own ensorcellment.
kwikkidus
(10:01:25 PM):Ed
turns around, and heads into the ship. "...Guys. We have a job to finish."
Rakath
Chaos (10:01:45 PM):Gigobyte
finds himself in the arms of Eria, not in ice with Mobius.
Sinisquirrel
(10:02:03 PM):It
was only too bad neither Amado or Enishi were here, as an army of Penguin
Soldiers saluted the crew.
Rakath
Chaos (10:02:23 PM):"Gawd,
finally," the hologram of Cryssi vanishes and appears back in the ship.
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:02:35 PM):Meanwhile.
kwikkidus
(10:02:36 PM):"Don't
you have any respect..?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:02:42 PM):"....I
just got a sudden urge to kill."
Sinisquirrel
(10:03:03 PM):"Oh?"
Lily smiled. "That's nice..."
Rakath
Chaos (10:03:08 PM):"Kid,
dispite my totally nice looks, I'M A FUCKING WARSHIP."
Sinisquirrel
(10:03:28 PM):The
Core knew war. It knew what to do.
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:03:29 PM):"....."
Jou puts a hand on the Shinai on his back...and pulls it off.
kwikkidus
(10:03:31 PM):With
that attitude of yours, I somehow doubt it.
Rakath
Chaos (10:04:16 PM):"Now,
one of you fire the lasers at it, then let's totally go home."
Endless Traveler
(10:04:19 PM):".
. ." Rane stayed silent as he headed back into the ship.
kwikkidus
(10:04:37 PM):Ed
pushes the 'Lazer go!' button.
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:05:00 PM):...Goodbye,
Mobius-sempai. The practice sword lashes out at the neck of the frozen
monarch... only for a lazer to nearly blindside Jou.
Rakath
Chaos (10:05:04 PM):Four
cannons, two red, two blue, fire out at the brittle monarch.
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:05:32 PM):"GAH!"
He flies back as the weapons fly past him. ". . ." He shoots a bewildered
glance back at the ship.
kwikkidus
(10:05:50 PM):"Sorry!
You comin' or not?
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:06:17 PM):"....Yes..."
He gets back into the ship....before throwing one last glance back at where
the Monarch
had been.
kwikkidus
(10:07:35 PM):"...Alright,
I hate to break up a tragic scene. but we need to move. Now. Before this
entire area kinda' ceases to... you know... let us use the ship. We'll
grieve after we get back."
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:07:49 PM):"...Ah!
Right!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:07:56 PM):Jou
gets in FASTER.
Endless Traveler
(10:08:21 PM):"...Right..."
He slipped his glasses back on. "Can we hurry
now?"
Rakath
Chaos (10:08:25 PM):"Hang
on tight, we can't stick around now," the demeanor of the autopilot changed,
"Head back as quick as you can." Engines on full. "Pilot this thing short
stuff!"
kwikkidus
(10:09:00 PM):"...Right!"
Ed grabs the controls, and hits 'go.' "Not having any clue what I'm doing
doesn't hurt much, does it?"
Rakath
Chaos (10:09:46 PM):"Considering
if I pilot we have half as much time to escape?"
Rakath
Chaos (10:10:06 PM):"Punch
it wookie!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:10:22 PM):"Less
dramatics, more ACTION!" Jou punches it for him.
kwikkidus
(10:10:41 PM):"Right..!"
Ed begins steering like some sort of derranged player of some racing game.
About starships.
Rakath
Chaos (10:11:16 PM):Cryssi
puts two fingers on her forehead, eyes closed. Anyone looking out the window
might notice parts of the ship slowly fading.
kwikkidus
(10:11:47 PM):"We'regonnadiewe'regonnadiewe'regonnadiewe'regonnadie...!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:12:11 PM):Jou
notices the parts fading. "Eeeeep...." is all he says.
Endless Traveler
(10:12:45 PM):"...Hn.."
"You want to scream, don't you?" "Shh..."
Rakath
Chaos (10:13:30 PM):One
of the laser arms is gone.
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:14:11 PM):"Waaah...don't
we have anything that can make us go faster?!"
kwikkidus
(10:14:32 PM):"I-i-i-i-i-i-i-I'm
going as fast as I can!!" Ed yells, continuing to put the pedal to the
metal.
Rakath
Chaos (10:14:54 PM):They
fly out of the cave like a bullet out of a gun, "Asend, now!"
kwikkidus
(10:16:18 PM):"Right!"
Ed pulls back on the steering thing. "Going up... and the faster the better."
Rakath
Chaos (10:18:12 PM):The
ship looks like it's melting, the crystal portions of the ship slowly getting
smaller like ice melting on a sunny day.
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:18:43 PM):"....Ed-Sempai.....plleeeeeease
get us above land!" Jou nearly hisses.
Endless Traveler
(10:19:08 PM):"We're
almost out! Don't panic!" "Are we...?"
kwikkidus
(10:19:30 PM):"I'm
tryyyying!!!"
Rakath
Chaos (10:22:50 PM):They
are over land, "Pull down, if you crash me I won't care in about three
minutes."
kwikkidus
(10:23:43 PM):"Right!"
Ed pushes thejoystick forward this time, sending them all careening towards
theground. "If I live through this... I have got to learn to pilot thesethigns,
okay?!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:29:27 PM):"Waaaaah!"
Jou just clutches on to the nearest thing while crash course is occuring...the
nearest thing being Rane.
Endless Traveler
(10:30:23 PM):*?!*...
He blushed, really not expecting Jo/u to cling to him.
"Pfft." >>;
kwikkidus
(10:31:48 PM):"...We're
doomed."
Rakath
Chaos (10:32:00 PM):Cryssi
didn't exactly look forward to crashing, but then again if they didn't
make it into a shadow realm she wouldn't exactly have have much to do after
this.
Rakath
Chaos (10:32:06 PM):She
was just sad she'd miss calling her friends and complaining about all this
adventure.
kwikkidus
(10:34:38 PM):And
Ed brings the ship bellyfirst into the ground. Not a total wreck... but
not a good landing, either.
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:37:01 PM):Once
the landing is complete.....Jou looks around. "A-are we dead...?
kwikkidus
(10:37:26 PM):"...I
don't think so, no..."
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:38:32 PM):Jou
takes a deep breath...and let's out a sigh of relief.
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:38:39 PM):"That....was
too much..."
kwikkidus
(10:39:01 PM):"...I
need a hug, and I need it now." Ed mutters, looking at the ground. "I didn't
want to have to do that."
Endless Traveler (10:40:24 PM):"Well,
let's look on the bright side as best we can: Mobius will find his sanctuary,
probably sooner than we think." He looked around to see if Sasuke was visible.
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:41:32 PM):"yes..."
kwikkidus
(10:42:00 PM):"...I'll
see you guys later. I have work to do, okay?"
Endless Traveler (10:42:39 PM):Rane
gave a solemn nod to Ed. "Good luck on your work."\
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:42:51 PM):"...Okay
Ed-Sempai..." Jou bows her head a little bit towards him.
kwikkidus
(10:43:27 PM):Ed
nods at the both ofthem, and then runs off, waving. "Right! You two try
not to get in toomuch trouble! Call if you need help!"
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:44:32 PM):Meanwhile!
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:46:44 PM):Alastor
ninja-fights with Li as the two of them play Shogi, while battling in Naruto:
GNT! 4. Suddenly...the gauntlet on Alastor's hand begins throbbing. "Hm.
Li. I think our little friends have done something...."
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:46:53 PM):He
casually tosses a kunai in Li's general direction.
Rakath
Chaos (10:48:38 PM):Li
kicks the kunai out of the air, barefoot, without getting cut. Teeth go
ping.
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:49:05 PM):He
tosses a few lit matches at those DAMN TEETH.
Rakath
Chaos (10:49:34 PM):Kick
through the air, putting the matches out mid flight.
Rakath
Chaos (10:49:49 PM):"Have
we even located the sixth God yet?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:50:03 PM):"The
Dark Master...?"
Rakath
Chaos (10:50:23 PM):"Yes,
that would be the one."
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:50:46 PM):"Well,
yes. That's why we rule the Earth right now, Li."
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:50:52 PM):He
tosses a mailbox at him.
Rakath
Chaos (10:54:21 PM):Chops
it in half, WITH HIS FISTS OF LOVE!
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:54:38 PM):Dozens
of cameras go off in the background.
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:54:53 PM):"At
any rate....I think I just felt the Shadow Game get weaker. Which means
another Monarch has been picked off."
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:55:05 PM):"WHAT
ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS, LI?!"
Rakath
Chaos (10:56:13 PM):"Visit
the remaining two. We send people to Mobius, Thestalos, and Granmarg's
keeps, anyone missing they report back, the others wait to disuade the
fools."
Rakath
Chaos (10:57:48 PM):Lays
one of Alastor's captured Silver Generals on his field, "We may even find
a way to gain alliegence of one of their own, provided we use the right
words."
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:58:04 PM):"We
don't have Earth. How can we be sure Granmarg will listen to us?"
Rakath
Chaos (10:58:39 PM):"They
murdered two of his brothers," Li pings again, "What other reason would
he need?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:58:57 PM):He
respons by slapping down one of Li's flying kart's with his bare foot.
Viewtiful
Rekk (10:59:41 PM):"I
dunno, his own life?"
Rakath
Chaos (11:00:55 PM):"Well,
it is your choice, would you rather the game end now, or try to drag it
out till we capture the last two pieces?"
Viewtiful
Rekk (11:01:11 PM):"I
think...."
Viewtiful
Rekk (11:01:52 PM):He
has Naruto execute the Rasengan.
Viewtiful
Rekk (11:02:46 PM):"Do
whatever."
Rakath
Chaos (11:03:50 PM):Li
smiles, having Rock Lee use Ura Renge for the win, "I shall."
Viewtiful
Rekk (11:04:11 PM):"....Hrmph."
Viewtiful
Rekk (11:04:40 PM):"I'm
gonna go deal with a few of those children. Try to find the Dark
Master while I'm gone."
Rakath
Chaos (11:04:46 PM):Lightning
bolt and Li is gone.
Viewtiful
Rekk (11:05:10 PM):"....By
the way." He axe kicks the board, sending pieces spraying everywh- "....Bah.
FIne." Fireball. Alastor is gone.,
Viewtiful
Rekk (11:06:24 PM):-------------------------------------------
