MetaGiga: We have the same sense of humor, I laughed when I thought of the scene but apparently randomly laughing in public is considered "insane".
Immortal Suicide42: yeah, I guess you are right D: but I'm just so LAZZYYYY. But okay, just for you I'll make them longer :3 It'll take some time to update though.
darkgirl43255: d'awwww thanks :D

"Hurry! Catch her!"

"The Jester has awoken!"

"The Jester broke out of jail!"

"Call for Jack!"

"Kill her on sight!"

Black skinned carapaces lined streets, roads, and the central square. I smiled with joy at all the fun I had already had on Derse. I woke up in a filthy jail cell, stained with blood and littered with bodies. Playing games with a bored jail guard Playing led to gambling. He had bet small things at first, meaningless trinkets, buttons from his uniform, and a funny looking hat. But his frustration and blind rage amplified the goods. Secret passage ways, places where even the queen could not step foot. Once I kept pushing and pushing giving meaningless clues to a question that he couldn't possibly have answered confidently from the wrong side of the door. Eventually he broke, clearly toeing the line of insanity, he promised anything as long I could give him the answer to my question.
Anything? I asked. Anything at all? His blubbering reply was incomprehensible, but it didn't matter. The guard open the iron door and I pranced down the hallway, wearing his hat as a trophy.
"Wait! Answer your question!"He called, ever so desperate.
"What question?"I called back, breaking down into hysterics at his tears. Of course I remembered the question, but it was really a statement. With the right tone of voice, and the insistence that someone's wrong, 'my hair is brown' is most definitely a powerful tool to toy with someone's mind.

As my deadly game of hide-and-go-seek progressed, the amount tears spilled increased twice as fast. I had a time here, a small timer on my wrist slowly counted to zero. I had created a haven of chaos for me to play in, but I had no more time left in it. My name was now widely known, I had pushed even the queen herself to try her luck at finding me. There was no more safety in my playground, and when I woke up, I would surely been killed.
So in my last hours, instead of reaping the riches of my entertainment, I had to listen to bits and pieces of information the carapaces on the whereabouts of my quest bed, and the fastest way to get there. Alas, my efforts only broke my toys more quickly, and the information was incredibly shady. Not to be trusted was plastered all over their cries. This was the reason I was cramming myself into a hollowed chain link that connected Derse's moon to Derse. I closed the hatch and enveloped in the darkness, I awoke.


My breathing was hard, and my vision was hazy. I couldn't remember a moment of my dream, all I knew was where my quest bed was and that I had a very limited time frame to find it in. My throat felt scratchy, like I had been screaming for a long time. My face was wet with tears. I rolled onto my side, I had somehow been carried to my bed. I groaned and sat up, rubbing my temples. My head was killing me.

"Alyce?"A gravely, deep voice, called."Alyce!" Green scales, see through like glass, wrapped around me. I stiffened, not exactly reconizing the man hugging me til he stepped back.

"Bro?"I asked."Weren't you...?"

"Dead? Yeah. But the circily thing, your sprite flew up and poof! Here I am! Ah it's so good to actually talk to you like this! It was so frustrating before-before I died."I smiled with a soft, empathetic joy for him.

"Yeah... Hey, um, this is gunna be sorta awkward since, you know we've been talking for awhile now... But, anyway, what's your name? Can't call you bro forever you know."

"A really, really long number that our parents' give me. Hey! We should change our names! Oh, what's a good name? Um... uh... Oh! I know, Jesse. I like that name. My name is Jesse! Are you going to keep Alyce?"

"Well, I guess I should pick something close to that... How about Alysen? Is that good?" Jesse picked me up and twirled me in the air.

"Of course! That's fantastic!"He laughed, I smiled in reply. Jesse put me down, expression turning serious.

"Oh I almost forgot to mention-you don't have a void session. Not at all!"I stood slack-jawed.

"How?"

"You never synced up your laptop to your computer. Don't worry, I went ahead and did it on your ultimate computer. If you could give me your laptop, I could be your server player so you don't have to be your own server player twice."

"Right, right." I snatched the blue stack of icy cards floating above my head and shuffled through them, searching for my laptop. Once I found it, I handed it over and replaced the stack, letting it hover once more.

"I need to find my quest bed, so I'm going to jump through the first gate."

"How are you going to find it? Do you know where it is already?"

"Strangely... Yes. I do actually know for a rock solid fact where it is. But, for some reason, it feels like I have a really limited time to get it. So, I really need to get going."

"Okay, can I go with you?"

"I wouldn't leave without. One more thing, I need you to find the quiver that the arrows were in, a gun holster, and I'll find some elastic. I'm going to need some sort of belt to hook the arrows and cross bow gun thing onto. I'm also going to be changing into a swim suit and since you sorta broke my door, I'll be in the bathroom."

"Heh, right... Sorry about that."

"No problem, just find the quiver and the holster for me and you are forgiven."

-NYAH-

I pulled the tight fitting Quiver and Holster Elastic Belt over my super short swim shorts, holster on my hip and quiver on the back on my left thigh. I carefully slid two poison arrows, three tranqarrows, a smoke arrow, and a propeller arrow into the ten slots provided in the quiver. My goggle contacts were in and I had an aluminum can in hand, ready to go.

"Hurry up Jesse, we don't have much time."I said, turning to face my brother who was riffling through the numerous things I had created with the Alchamiter.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."My brother said, waving my comment off."Okay, I found it."He held up my water proofed Ultimate Computer.

"Why would we even-"

"Sh, no questions! I thought you wanted to get going!" I rolled my eyes and opened up a can of Pepsi Flavored Oxygen and threw my head back. I breathed it all in, my lungs filling with the substance. I closed my mouth and set the can down. Several tense minutes passed by, my chest stopped moving up and down, I felt no need to exhale. I gave Jesse a thumbs up, he mirrored my movement. My hand rested on the knob and I licked my lips. Shutting my eyes, I threw open the door, expecting cold sea water to rush towards me. But none came, a semi-solid wall of water stood waiting for me. All I needed to do was take three steps forward. Bracing myself for the unknown, I threw myself at the salty sea water.

My body was suspended in the water, my hair swirled around in the current. I didn't feel cold, just comfortably warm. Alternian marine life swam about, and Meenah's body had disappeared. Something that looked like a cross between a clown fish and a jelly fish swam by. I reached out and poked at it's soft, velvety skin. It stopped swimming immediately rising up. My eyebrows shot up, and a frown stuck itself crookedly on my lips. Jesse motioned me to give the fish to him to eat, which I did gladly. There was a burst of light, and my brother looked more translucent then he already was, and white striped painted his back. My hand flew over my mouth, hiding a smile, but it was too late. My brother swam after me like a mad man and I darted in a serpentine style as he rocketed past me. My smile widened as I propulsed myself at a circle with the SBURB logo on it glowing a dark purple.
