^^ Number 8, which I have personally awaited for a long time, just cause I like bugging
"And so it is a confirmation that someone is sabotaging us recently." Largo announced waiting for the nods of his comrades. The said five comrades nodded their heads in agreement, frowns settling over their faces.
"It's that old man!" Sync protested, pounding an angry fist on the table. "He's been lurking around here ever since these sabotages have started."
"No, it has to be Anise! I've seen her scurrying around the cathedral and my friends have spotted her carrying something! It has to be her!" Arietta countered.
"I think its Natalia. I caught her in the halls the other day." Legretta interjected calmly.
"It is not Natalia." Was Largo's response.
"Of course not, it was the dreck!" Asch screamed. "He had my bear the other day! Which might I add, you guys never found."
"Well I got close, I should get the candy." Sync sneered.
"What?! You didn't do anything!" Arietta argued meekly.
"Yes I did!"
"No you didn't!"
"Now children-"
"You're both wrong, none of you get the candy! It shall forever remain mine!"
"What you can't have it Asch! That's not fair!"
"It was mine to begin with!"
"It's all fair game now!"
"Boys, stop!"
"Brats, I should have never offered any to you! Stay out of this Legretta!"
"Oh well look whose talking mister duke! Just cause your royal doesn't mean you get to keep all the sweet stuff!"
"Watch your mouth you emo brat!"
"Now now Asch, temper. You'll never find you're Fluffi bunny like that!"
"You little piece of-"
"I LIKE CLUCKY CHICKENS!"
All the bickering in the room by the three younger generals abruptly stopped at this comment. The senior generals, who had been futilely trying to stop the arguing and failing at it, turned their heads in disbelief to the person who hadn't spoken once until this very moment. Five of the Six had the most awkward faces on as they looked at the one and only Dist the Reaper, who was sitting crossed legged, a dashing smirk on his face, his head resting in his thumb and forefinger cleverly.
"Wh-what?" Legretta asked, throughly confused at the situation.
"Ch-chickens?" Arietta stuttered looking at the man.
"Fried or living?" Asch asked calmly, like the delima was perfectly normal.
"Living of course! Their feathers are so soft and fluffy not to mention easy to pluck out and they're so easy to manipulate even a teenage school girl can do it!" Dist shouted quickly and efficiently.
The god generals faces in turn remained blank at the supposedly smartest one of their ranks out burst. Over their heads they were probably imagining Dist with a chicken on top of his head. Twas an awkward moment indeed.
"Okay...anyways, back onto topic." Sync stuttered.
"Right." All of them nodded, excluding Asch.
"Sorry, I'll have to leave now while my sanity is still intact." He responded, throwing a glare at Dist.
"What sanity?" Sync asked tilting his head slightly. "I didn't know you had any in the first place."
"Brat." Asch hissed and left, purposefully slamming the door in their faces. He hoped they jumped at the loud noise.
As Asch walked down the hall, he felt his mood go sour again. Grumpy as he was, it was all the cause of his stupid replica playing tricks on him. First his bear goes missing, not to mention his Fluffi- No, he won't say it. He inhaled sharply to make sure none of the tears spilled. Fluffi Bunny had been a birthday present from Natalia one year and now some weird laundromat guy had it. He just hope it wasn't in mortal dange-
He stopped his odd walk to see his pink Fluffi Bunny dancing in the hallway ahead, waving at him. He blinked once, then twice, and then thrice before charging down the hall. It hopped away as fast as he ran, making him wonder if it was a delusion, and also wonder if Sync hadn't been so wrong on that sanity guess. Cocky brat...
Nevertheless, he followed it down into a darker more discreet hallway. It kinda reminded him of a horror movie that the god generals had managed to snag from a certain authoress. The bunny waved and disappeared through a door down the hallway.
Asch rubbed his eyes just to make sure he wasn't hallucinating and walked forward. The farther he went though, the more impending doom he thought was fated for him. He stopped and stared at the door way and edged a hand out.
Screech, screech, screech, screech, screech, screech
Asch jumped back mildly started at the sudden noise. He looked down the hallway to see the local violin symphony passing by, hitting very eerie sharps. He gave them a 'WTF' look and they hurried along making faster screeching noises. He waited until they were out of view and the tune completely out of his mind. Which was kinda hard since a cello player ambled alone a few minutes later playing the 'Jaws' theme music. Once again, Asch used the look and the cello player responded by dragging the huge instrument a little but faster.
Asch shook his head in disbelief before touching the doorknob.
As soon as he did the door burst open, smacking him on the forehead. He staggered back and glared at whomever opened the door. The dreck stared back with a stupid grin on his face and let out a light musical hum.
"Dreck!" Asch roared and stormed towards the door. Luke yelped and slammed the door shut before he reached him. The redhead in turn threw open the door and stared into an empty storage room. 'What the-?'
He edged down the hallway again, turned, and sprinted towards the exit. He wasn't able to get there before two doors opened and he slammed into them. The dreck's companions, Malkuth Colonel and Guy stared at him with a small smile on their faces and let out a musical hum as well. He made a move to strangle Guy but the blond and the colonel and slammed the doors similar to how the dreck had. He turned back and stared down the hallway to see Anise, holding his Fluffi Bunny and bouncing it lightly, Natalia on her right giggling slightly.
Asch paled and walked forward. "Natalia, I can explain!" She giggled again, hummed a little, and ran into a storage room, grabbing Van's sister (whom he hadn't noticed before), and dragging her with her. Asch stood there shocked and stared at Anise who let out a hum like all the others had.
"Give it." He growled, gesturing to the bunny.
"Grey skies are gonna clear up !" She chirped and ran into a storage room.
"Put on a happy face!" All the doors opened now, having the 6 group member sing the line in harmony. The doors slammed shut again.
"Brush off the clouds and cheer up!" Luke shouted from the end. Asch moved lividly towards him and he closed the door quickly.
"Put on a happy face!" They all shouted. Doors slam.
"Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy..." Tear said meekly, closing the door slowly.
"It's not your style!" Guy shouted happily, making sure to close the door before the red-head could reach him.
"You'll look so good that you'll be glad ya' decided to smile!" They all shouted, closing the door at the end of the line.
"Pick out a pleasant outlook?" Mieu chirped suggestively from Tear's head.
"Stick out that noble chin." Jade chortled pulling Asch's hair down before disappearing behind the door.
"Wipe out that 'full of doubt' look." Natalia cooed, patting him lightly on the cheek and running into the next storage room.
"Slap on a happy grin!" They all shouted.
"And spread sunshine, All over the place, Just put on a happy face!" The six cheered making a circle around Asch. The red-head was too shocked to try to strangle any. When he decided the dreck they had already ran into their stupid closets.
"Put on a happy face!" They screamed and all shut the door as hard as they could, making a nice slam sound.
"Just put on a happy face!" Mieu peeped. He knocked Asch down with a light tap on his cheek and the god general staid down, too shocked to get up.
The hallway became eerily silent again until a door snapped open and Asch was knocked in the head with his Fluffi Bunny. That got him out of his trance and he stood up, grabbing his bunny as he did.
He walked out of the hallway, no longer meeting any resistance and stared at his bunny annoyed.
"You did this to me." He cursed and squeezed the bunny viciously. After a few moments, he relented and stared into its black soulless eyes.
Sighing, he shoved the bunny into his pocket and walked down the hallway, slight fuming. "Fine, fine, it's not your fault. But you don't get to sleep with Dr. Stego and I tonight." He said lowly to his pocket.
As he said this, a few knights walked by and started making mental checks to get Asch a sanity check; and soon. If the god general was talking to his pocket, then what would happen if they got he started talking to the walls?
Short, shorter, and shortest. This is probably one of my shortest chapter. Sorry guys, I'm just being super lazy, if you want a full explanation, look at my profile page. =^=
