Minion: A Few Hundred Drastic Changes Under King Kirby

Chapter Twenty-One: Squeaky-Clean Floors

Bandana Dee is a clean freak.

"Haaaaaaadle."

"No."

"I didn't even say anything," Midori whined, plodding after the healer sullenly. Haddle made no retaliation. "When are we gonna geeeet there?"

"If I tell you you'll stop drawling out your ridiculously drawled-out words."

The scoroo didn't even think twice. "Deal," he responded immediately.

"In a few minutes."

"That's not a good answer!"

"Then leave me alone."

"Whhaaaat."

Bandana Dee sighed, and Mitchizuka mimicked his action. "Look, let's not waste time. We came here solely to check on the bimbo for a gorilla, right? Let's just get this over with." Haddle turned around to glare at him momentarily. "What? There's hot chocolate waiting back at the dormitory. Can't miss that."

Too bad, Bandana Dee. You gave Haddle the wrong answer. "Yes, you can, if you tried, which you're not. Now you better shut your cakehole before I help you to it, and I'll make sure to add twenty-percent pain."

"Twenty-percent sugar sounds nicer," Bandana Dee muttered, but shut up all the same.

Bandana Dee didn't like being in the prison cells by himself. The prisoners looked like they might jump out anytime (which they might). Haddle simply ploughed through the corridors without giving a simple care and continued walking across the slimy floor.

Bandana Dee would wash his feet very thoroughly later.

"D'you hear that?" Midori suddenly tensed up, glancing around. "…Maybe it's just my imagination?"

"Lies," Mitchizuka retorted. "I heard it, too."

"Heard what?" Bandana Dee looked around.

"Creaking noises." Midori's answer was extremely vague. Wow. Thank you.

"And footsteps." No, Mitchizuka, shut up and stop, Bandana Dee thought, it's getting creepy.

…Hm, why was his shadow so big? Was he that fat, or was is even his own shadow? Was Haddle flying above him?

…Oh. No. Crap.

Okay so he managed to whirl around to see a grizzly bear thing swiping down at him only to get smacked square in the face by something… fast. Bandana Dee couldn't see.

"…B-Bandana Dee? A-Are you o-okay?" All right. Analysis one: Stuttering voice. Peap or Minura. Analysis two: Not excessively nervous. Minura couldn't have beat that grizzly… bear… thing. Had to be Peap. And Zephyr.

"Do you see what I mean?" Zephyr suddenly said exasperatedly, but her words were pointed straight at Peap. She blinked, turning to them with a smile. "Oh, I'm sorry. Peap just didn't want to believe me when I said something was wrong. Even Minura agreed, but I suppose he was too scared to come down on his own, hm?"

Yeah. Probably. "So why are you down here?" Bandana Dee asked, before realising that she had already half-answered his question when she was talking earlier.

Nevertheless, she repeated herself. "I found that something was rather suspicious, so I tried contacting everybody I knew," she began, "but Spaggy was busy. Wildfire was also attending to some matters. Minura picked up, however, and also agreed that something is amiss." A pause for emphasis. "He did not say he would come down and join us, though. I thought he would."

Ugh. No. Too confusing, Bandana Dee decided. Midori bounced from foot to foot. "So what's happening here?"

She offered another smile. "I know just about as much as you do."

"So why did you find it fishy?" Haddle demanded.

"No virus has ever suddenly attacked us like that. Is that not wrong?" She didn't wait for an answer. "There has to be something going on. Also, I confirmed with Your Majesty who reported the incident."

"Who." Prime question. The person who reported it could have just lied or something.

She smiled. No reply.

Ugh.

"W-We'll stay here," Peap squeaked. "…Um, make sure nobody else comes down here, at least, not someone untrustworthy."

"Oh, don't worry," Zephyr called out to them as they continued walking down the slimy hallway, "I've already solved it all. Your mastermind is hiding right behind at the end. You won't miss him, definitely. Keep walking."

Not very reassuring, but at least they knew they were getting somewhere.

Bandana Dee was also going to get the floor cleaned. No question.

31 May 2014 SGT: Hm, well, I started playing Dangan Ronpa. That's a start.

But Monokuma needs to keep his dirty jokes for himself. I'm at chapter two and he's made two of those so far.

As a bonus he once talked about sex-crazed teenage maniacs and humping plastic bottles. Do not. Ask me. Why. Because I know. But I will not say anything.

Also, remember while you're PMing, don't start talking about your life (because frankly I almost do not care) or brag (because I will sock you in the face when I can and I will make sure it will be painful). Dear Guilty Person, I know you are reading this. And I hope I am making you feel guilty. I very much hope so.
