Upon awakening I saw the same blonde from before climbing back into the same purple thing. I couldn't make out what the others were saying, in fact I was starting to wonder if I had gone deaf, then I heard an easily recognized voice. "I am the darkness. I am the night. I- why are you laughing?" I couldn't stop laughing, it was just too funny! Wow, I don't think I've ever woken up so fast, but semi-amnesia can do that.
"Rumia, you aren't batman." I had some pain in my right arm after this. "That's uncalled for!" I looked over my shoulder to see a pouting blonde biting into my arm. "I still can't understand you when you are eating my arm." She continued to bite my arm, good thing I'm a leftie. "Can you let go so I can get up?"
Once I was up I decided to tell my basic plan. "Ok, I know what I need to do, but not how to do it. What I need to do is get my memory back, and I know what needs to happen for that, but I need help in my subconscious for that." Everyone was looking at me like I had completely lost my mind. "… maybe I should eat first,,," Rumia looked like she had a good idea for where to get me food. I'm not sure which is worse; the fact that she just started talking with my arm in her mouth, or that I understood her. "Ok, so then just where is this friend of yours?"
I waved as I was drug off by the girl on my arm. After about ten minutes of this we reached a food cart. Rumia waved. "Rumia, can you let go now?" She shook her head, that hurt, a lot. By now I probably looked ready to kill someone… and then eat them. The person (?) inside the cart seemed to notice this and decided to help pry her off me. "Thanks."
"You're welcome. Was she dragging you here so I could feed you, or cook you?" I gave her my guess, and asked her if Rumia will be alright. "Ok, I'm willing to believe you, not because you've survived this long with her, but because no one she's planning on eating ever asks if she'll be alright." We both heard the stunned girl attempt her catchphrase.
I walked over and helped her to her feet. She seemed to be having trouble standing, much less walking. I decided not to let her stagger across the road, so without thinking, I picked her up and carried her. I don't know why everyone seemed so shocked, it's not like she was heavy. I set her down on one of the seats. Her expression made me burst out laughing, not because it was funny, but because I never expected to be looked at with shock and awe.
"So, what do you two want to eat?" After getting our food; a small plate for me, and a giant pile taller than me for Rumia, we sat down to begin eating. Within ten seconds a pink haired blob appeared in between me and my food. Bad idea. I looked at the blob, which I had since defined as humanoid; here a large dichotomy appeared between the inside of my mind and reality, in one there was a large volcanic eruption going on.
In the other, things had gone downhill. I grabbed the blob and threw it across the clearing taking a sick joy as it hit a tree. I then took off the cloak and sunglasses, the ground below me caught fire. I walked calmly across the street, melting the sand on top into glass. I stopped on a rocky outcropping and leaned on a tree, causing the tree to catch fire and the rock to melt. A greenish blur charged towards me, I caught her by the head and threw her at the still stunned blob. In a VERY creepy voice I said something quite simple, "I'd run along home now if I were you, 'cause I'm still hungry."
The two simply fell through the ground and disappeared. I walked back, sat down, and began eating. Everyone looked at me like I had just destroyed a large building. "What? They got in between me and my food."
The owner (and chef) asked me if there was anything they could do to pay me back for saving them. I asked for another plate. I honestly think this is the first time my losing control has earned me free food, but who am I to complain?
And so, after I finished eating I got directions to the nearest people who could help me. So, I put the cloak back on (What? It's cold outside!) and wandered off, looking for a hole in the ground. Little did I know that two distinctively clothed heroines had gone to the food cart to investigate my 'little show'.
Looks like we found a worse idea than calling the one who likes borders old. Also, don't get used to daily updates, I just had nothing to do. And, yes, all the chapter titles are puns.
