Shut Up and Standby
Rief finally decided.
He stared down at the green book, trembling nervously. His Djinn Encyclopedia was waiting.
Matthew, Tyrell, Karis, and Amiti cowered at the other side of the room. Matthew knit his eyebrows in concentration.
"Here goes nothing," the bespectacled youth said. He flipped to the first empty page.
A blinding brown light burst out of Matt's bag, glowing intensely. It slowly took the form of a Venus Djinn.
"Didja write about ME yet?" demanded Bark. "I think I can help."
Rief dipped his quill into an inkpot. 'This spirit…'
"ERROR! ERROR! I am MUCH more than a spirit! I am a tough, strong, amazing, fabulous…"
Karis was the first to go. Screaming, she dove out of the room, her Djinn quickly following.
'This… tough spirit is first met…'
"ERROR! ERROR! You forgot the other adjectives. All seventy-five of 'em, in FACT!" For good measure, he slapped his tail over Rief's head.
Tyrell couldn't take it. He jumped onto his bed and curled into fetal position. "Just make them go away!" he yelled.
'…on the Passaj Mountain Climb. Bark's…'
"ERROR! ERROR! Jeez, it's LIKE you've never WRITTEN an ENTRY before! I was not MET! I was FOUGHT in a FEROCIOUS BATTLE THAT I SO SHOULD'VE WON!"
"I'm too PRETTY!" shrieked Amiti, his blue hair flying loose. He ducked away from Bark's tail and dashed into the hall.
'…Bark's rough hide can…'
"ERROR! ERROR! GOD, you're such a FAIL! THIS IS NOT A HIDE, IT'S FABULOUSLY EXPENSIVE MT. ALEPH SILK! JEEZ!"
Never saying a word, Matthew collapsed on the floor, twitching wildly.
'…protect allies…'
"ERROR! ERROR! I-"
"AUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!" Rief howled, throwing his glasses on the ground. "SHUT UP! GO STANDBY YOURSELF!"
And he fainted.
Smiling wickedly, Bark calmly sat down, ripped out the entry, crumpled it up, and threw it away.
"Better luck next time!"
