Angst growled as he sat up in the room he was given at the base.
"I hate Mondays.." he muttered.
"And what's wrong with 'em? I find it a refreshing start to the week.." Jest materialized next to Angst, with a grin on her face. "Hello."
She walked to the other side of him.
"Now, what is it you're supposed to be doing again? Because I'm sure it doesn't have anything to do with you slacking off..."
She jumped up into the air and stayed, floating a few feet above the ground. She slightly waved her hand and a moogle doll appeared.
Angst growled at Jest, using small effort to restrain himself from lashing out at her.
"Shut up," he growled.
"Aw, I'm sorry, did I upset you?" she cooed, stroking her moogle doll. "Keep it together."
She stood up and started walking down, as if she was going down the stairs until she finally touched the floor. "You're not being very nice, you know."
Angst stood up, approaching her. "Oh I'm sorry, here let me make it up to you!" He quickly lashed out, sending her flying down the hall. "NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!"
"Sheesh! That's not how you treat a lady." She pouted. "You're acting like an angst-written teenager." She giggled.
"Like i care," said Angst walking back to his room. "Why am I stuck with you?"
Jest grinned playfully. "Oh, you're not stuck doing anything. Now, if you were a good boy, you'd be doing what you were supposed to. Which is...?"
Angst growled, shooting a glare. "Shut up and leave me alone."
"Tsk, tsk. You're in a rotten mood today aren't you? Did you forget your usual post? Or are you just giving up too easily?" She suddenly appeared behind him. "I'm finished here... be good now!" And with that she faded into a mist and was gone.
Angst threw his halberd, just missing Jest. He dismissed the weapon, heading down the hallway.
"Disregarding orders?" A voice said from behind Angst. Passiva walked up to him, no emotion showed on her face.
"Gather everyone together. It's time we talked." She took a few steps in front of him and vanished in a dark mist.
Angst shrugged then turned to open a portal to get the others. "Why do I have to work with all these girls?" he muttered walking through the portal.
"Hey, we're not girls. He called me a girl.." Lem whined, Lam right beside him. "I don't look like a girl! He picks on us. He's mean."
"Well, well, well.. if it isn't the momma's boys" he said chuckling.
"Passiva wants to see us go gather the others," he said.
"Why do we have to go do all the work? I never get any time off!" Lam whined.
Lem nodded. "Hey, wait, he called us momma's boys! We're not momma's boys."
Angst turned down the hall, approaching Jest. "The boss lady wants to see us," He said, opening a portal.
"Well lookie there, someone finally found a job for you," Jest smiled. "And they made sure it was something you were capable of.. 'messenger boy'." Jest grinned. She vanished in a black mist. Seconds later she reappeared in the round room. Half of the tall chairs remained empty, slowly filling as more and more of the group showed up. She slumped down and rested her fist on her chin. The twins reappeared in the chair next to her.
"Ow! I wanted this chair!" Lam whined.
"Nu-uh! I came first, this one's mine!" Lem shoved.
Jest rolled her eyes and the two argued on.
Angst warped to his chair and watched as the twins argued. "Anyone seen Rebel? Couldn't find him."
"Confused isn't here either," Happiness smiled.
"She probably got lost." Sarcasm added. "She can't even find her way around her room."
"Rebel won't be attending today," Jest said, playing with her moogle doll. "You know how he is."
Passiva snapped her fingers and Confused appeared through a wispy mist on her chair, with a puzzled expression on her face.
Passiva sat forward in her chair. The room became silent. "The new possession I have acquired recently, helped sense a potential adversary. The same who prevailed in annihilating the nobodies who previously resided in this very castle."
Jest looked up, a look of interest appeared on her face. "I've been wanting some new play toys. I'll go and have some fun with them." she said with a sly smile.
Passiva nodded. "Report back. It is likely they may not be a hindrance in the future."
Jest pouted slightly then went back to playing with her doll. "No fun at all.." she muttered.
"Dismissed," Passiva said quietly.
