And so, the friends siting on same table at 'not so suspicious' café restaurant, went silent as they look at the 'Vocaloid' type Robo-maid Savii 2.0 whit forced trade smile on her face. She was trying to be not so obviously the 'tricky one' here, as she lead the party through this adventure. "Oh my, there were clearly some statements that can lead to confusion. But, I assume the question you all have in mind is something like: 'How is this reliable to our cause? Otherwise those are nearly a random stuff, right?' Well, I nearly can tell that from this point, the thing will go up."
Newdori, Roxxan and even Fizzi had they own thoughts on mind.
"You mean something else that the woman's at the celebration party started a 'Kaiju' [alien sea monster] sect and has collecting Lolis as sacrifices in order to feed the beast?"
"Why I have feeling that suddenly I shall not worry about me be marked 'the bad one here', when a 'bigger bad one' are already present? We must not forget that our friend has been victimized."
"Hello! I am still here! Don't you dare to pull a prank about me being replaced by an imposter who just waits for the right moment to strike!"
As the adults acted to weird or sour for the taste of certain kitten, the little one picked up a cover on sugar jar from porcelain, and by using a spoon he start launching a sugar cubes (normally usage for tea or coffee) into the faces of adventures to awake them from a clear nonsense discussion. The group dint reacts to more than half of the hits, even when Fizzi made a praise comment about how skilled is the 'Calico' in handling of the spoon.
.
The only one who reacts fully and answers the call for attention was of course Savii. "Yes, dear Young master, we don't forget what we must do here. We just have the need to sort all of the information's we gathered to this point. But for that to be done right without hasty decision we shall finish this video record session." And the maid pressed play button on the next part.
.

[Proper supervision = missing]
As the video started, the scene was morning economic class cafeteria or something similar, situated at the stadium. Several characters from both teams and local stuff were there to grab something to eat. It was going on slow and peaceful mode as there has been seen a lots of yawning's.
Fizzi, as he enters the place was (again) followed by the camera girl on duty and he aimed for a diner table whit four seats. On which, two of his friends, the (black-red priest) Newdori and (dark sister of Vronica) Roxxan have already siting on theirs chairs unexpectedly peacefully and next to each other.
As FurTrap take the third seat on other side of the table, he looks at his two companions who were like 'stoned hard' whit eyes wide open, eye pupils tiny as pears and marks from lack of sleep showed under the eyes. "Hiii, guys."
Both of them looked like they have a lot to think or deal whit it, after a heavy night. And they answer him not enthusiastically in union. "Hiii, Fizzi."
.
The white furry observed as the two just sit there motionlessly and don't touched whatever they had on plate. They just stared lifelessly into the void. "Are you two okay? You seems like you two was went through something too extravagant for someone taste. What happened?"
Just mentioned 'What happened?' force the two to flinch and they both starts talking fast, through each other in clearly cower mode of excuses. "It was fine." "Totally fine." "Nothing happened at all." "Totally nothing wort of mentioning happened." "Everything was normal." "Nothing unnatural has occurred at all."
.
The FurTrap was suspicious towards them, but he let it go. "Okaaay… Then where is Vronica?"
The two start laughing awkwardly, as to try to cower something. "She's cool, totally fine." "Let's we say, she said, she need a sometime for herself." "No need to worry about her." "She will definitely appear in some time." Anyway, how went you night, Fizzi?" "Yeah, where's 'yours' Kurama chan, Fizzi?" They tried very hard to change the discussion from them to anything else.
.
This time it was Fizzi who laugh awkwardly. "What to say?... It was been an eventful night. We had wonderful late night dinner. Too much happened while we talks together about everything and nothing. It was… Not even that worthy, to mentioning something that happen there or anything else. But at morning as we was leaving the room, she was called to something urgent, so she said that I shall go ahead and she will join us when she will be free."
The two was too eager to agree. "Yeah, nothing wort to mention happened, and it shall stay it, for all of us."
"Shall we make the suggestion to not talk about it, like forever?
.
"Are you referring to the agreement of not telling anything to family about what kind of wild fun had one on festival? Something like what happened on musical festival stays at musical festival. Or something likes that?"
"Exactly! What happened on hotel room will stay at hotel room."
"I agree to that deal. So are we fine?"
.
The trio was exchanging a few words or moods of agree to this plan, just to said something. But soon the words worth for this conversation was eventually depleted and silence occurred on their table.
.
As the silence continued for a certain time the FurTrap eventually break it. "So…. Are we screwed, is it it?"
It was like dropping the heavy weight of tension. "Yeah, pretty much."
And the Roxxan melodically tried to sound as it was a funny joke. "Not for the first time."
And they again went silent.
.
This silence continued for a while where they just sit there and stared at the table.
It was crushed the moment when Kurama suddenly appeared right next to the trio siting on table. When someone on this morning at last expected a 'rising sun' to arrive, it was the 'deeps of night' that fall on them. Or more precisely it was the fox's dark aura, which has giving a hint that she is in a bad mood. In her hands she held like a two too small kittens furriers as if it was some obvious evidence. She dint waited for greetings and nearly barked at them. "Can you explain yourself?!"
All three of them flinched and then both side of the table exchanges a silent glances waiting for other side to make they move. But as they have been brief between them, none of them give her a more that a glance.
.
So she sighed and placed the two kittens on table until she sits itself next to Fizzi.
On second glance one can think that both of the little furry balls have been born recently. But the kittens looked a kind of familiar, whit spice of darkness, demonic, royalty, and strong faith. No, they kind of looked like one vas Roxxan kid and the other Newdori's.
But those two adults looked palled as they glanced at the two little fur-balls.
.
The fox was unpleasantly typing whit her finger. "Seriously, how irresponsible from both of you! Shall I ask what were you thinking when you left the newborns on your room? Thinking that you can just leave them for a while, that they will be okay until you return from breakfast, it's wrong! When they are this young, they must be been under surveillance. Have you two no sense for yours offspring's at all? Or from the start, the two of you don't have any maternity instinct? If you don't know what to do and panic, then the only think you shall do, is simply asking me for advice."
The two jumped again in clearly 'Oh shit!' facial expression.
But it was Fizzi who was missing major point on what's was going here. "Wait for a second, what do you mean by that? Did they bring some of your kinds on theirs room? Are they been tasked to watch over someone? Those two? Or I miss notice that something supernatural was going around?"
Newdori make a super weird forced laugh. "Definitely there was something supernatural that occurred during last night. But to answer you question Fizzi: No, we dint bring someone on room. We don't even want to go on room. They just locked us into the same one. Then as far I remember some crazy stuff was going on, and on the morning those two pop up out."
"Indeed, magic 'BC' is not something that shall be possible to bypass by some not crazy stuff. I am clear on this!"
.
This time it was the Fox who was missing the string on conversation and give them a questionable look. "About what on this flat land you two are talking about?"
While Fizzi just sit there and watch them, making a half silent comment about 'Flat world?' on whit one his best friend in same manner asked him if he ever was at the 'Abyss at the end of the world'? Witch was accurate reference on how the priest and princess were at the end of available options.
"Madam, as far as I thought about it, if you wanted to just force us to adopt some of you children's that are under yours supervision, then yours method is nearly flawless, at last on terms of laws. You clearly got us on that. But we are not idiots to just sit there and accept this method whit easy on our minds."
"Dear 'Madame', the trickery in yours 'shenanigans' is clearly a top level and I sincere praise you for that. But it had a numbers of small flaws, that snowballing up high. Normally, someone cannot get attached to something that do speed run from conception at late night, to bird at next early morning. There was just nearly none effort from my side to get attached. I have a very well prepared plan that you have dared to intervene in."
.
Kurama make on her face a really dummy expression as she just doesn't get it. Or, she just only starts to get what those two was talking about. "Wait for second. When I think about it, you two clearly are not a family type, so I suppose that there is a lot of space for general misunderstanding. Then please, let me rephrase of what I want to say." She makes short inhale and exhale, before she went into school teacher mod. "Listen up! What I running is not an orphanage, so I will be not trying to hung up any of my children on someone else neck. Do you understand this fact?"
She looked at them, and after they silent node whit their heads she continued.
.
"This time I went around to avoid any unintentional mistakes, when I lightly checked the character sheet of those kittens to see who are they parents. That's why I know for sure that is both of you, even when one had the names swapped. But to contradict each other, what you two described here is clearly out of normal. Nearly on same level when I was informed about some conspiracy nonsense theories that were going around for the few last days." As she sighed she looked away in nearly random up direction as she not looking at anything. "Normally one will think that is a death witch for conspirators to hide on play sight in the moment of the big reveal. Especially when I can in single grand move, blast everyone here into dust. But considering you folks being those 'Whiskateers' who had this silly records of doings good deed no matter how small or big, and the fact that, expect certain individual moments, you don't seem to be a bad group. When you just do more than trying to help others or do what is right when it was needed… Then I can assume someone else is behind this mess, and just trying use coincidences of this hasty event into his evil doing. Or in the most dummy case just misbehave when miss using opportunity witch leaded to this pile of mess." It was seemed that she's already moved her attention from them to something else. As if she can from there see stars on sky through the ceiling. "So what's going on here? Has someone from elders messing whit this 'Because they can.'? Or someone new, is showing his horns too early for this stage?" She starts thinking very deeply about something, in order to crack this case as some kind of genius detective.
But her fresh husband was worried about some part of her theory that she just describe to them. "Kurama, can I ask you something? What have you mean by that 'grand move'?"
Instead of her, it was Newdori who wake up from being nailed into his chair. But this time he dint even yells at his friend, for lack of awareness in this type of things. "Dam it Fizzi! It shall be obvious for me, when I practically know you for this long, but still- Tell me! You dint bother to check her core stats, or at last her level, dint you? She's so 'Over-Powered', that she is practically a true 'monster tag' here. Or did you don't get my message when I call her highness?"
"Fizzi darling- She can be the 'Boss class' for a 'raid dungeon', a final boss who in free time plays low to get at last some fun at beginner's town without make the place go panic or cease to exist. During invasion she can clearly play the rescued hostage girl that will accompany invaders as theirs guide towards the castle. Only when the challengers hit the throne room, only then she will reveal itself when she sits down on the empty throne as his owner. Then she will make a 'big move', throwing everyone face fact, that she from beginning don't needed any guards to guard her. But I don't blame you for putting at first place checking up her other features than her powers levels. She must be hooked on fact that you dint play any trick on the 'queen in disguise' and treat her as the others. Or more precisely dint care at all."
.
The White furry sweated cold sweet a little, making a weak comment that he think she is a teacher at some school.
Manville a messenger Loli gets Kurama attention and hand over a paper note to the fox lady. As she read it, she frowns. "Report from searching the assigned hotel room dint showed anything important. Or significant that shall explain your story. The only think that shall be highlighted are the drink bar… Huh?" She gives a confusion look to the data on the paper she holds. Then she checked the blank back side of the note if there are some additional data to explain what see just read. But there was none, so she returned to the front side and whit her fingers nail she tried to clean some supposed mess on that paper, that can lead that certain value cause misreading, but again there was no mess to remove and reveal the correct data. So her eyebrow twitched and she glanced at Newdori and Roxxan as they were an idiots. "Can you two explain why are you ordered so many of those potions? What have you been thinking?"
But those two was on defense. "What are you talking about? We just drink a juice that was there on reach, and we dint order anything as far as I know."
"Well, there was enough juice on the place already, to fill us up. I drink only that, even when I still feel thirsty. But as he said I to dint remembering that any of us called for something or something was arrived."
.
The fox gives up on getting angry on those two and for now just want to know what going on. "Do you pulling my leg, or you two are experts on 'not giving a dam'? The potion is costly enough to be limited VIP only and only one per person. And you are trying to say that you drink more than one, during a single night? Are you crazy? There's no tell what it will do to your body. Not to mention there is some mathematical error on how many was delivered to that room. We even don't have that amount on storage."
"Hey! I don't know what you trying to put on us. I don't think that the refrigerator was opened by once. There was this big fancy crate full of bottles whit fruit juice in our room. We dint bring it there, it tasted funny, but we had been drinking just that. Some crazy stuff keeps happening, so there was no space to grasp what's going on or to even think about it if drinking this stuff is bad or good."
Only mentions of the crazy stuff force Roxxan to blush. "Yea, yea, what he said."
.
But Kurama Face-Palm herself. "Are you telling me:- That you two drink an entire crate of 'all-purpose juice' potions and not just don't know what it is, what it do, you even dint care about what has happening?" As her hand slid down she stared at them. "Not just 'Why are you still alive?', I can't even explain 'Why you are still sane?' after taking so many."
Priest was on this uncompromised advocate. "Hey! For our defense as we had been a drunk as hell, we kind off just flow whit the events."
But Roxxan realize something that makes her white pale. "Wait! That was a 'Polyjuice'? The 'all-purpose juice'? Oh my… Well, that explains a lot by then. Wait! That means what happen last night was not 'drunk imagine stuff', illusions, hallucinations or dreams."
But Newdori turns toward the princess 'questioning her' / 'reminding her': 'What she talking about? They made an agreement that nothing happened.' On which she tiled her head so much in confusion as its nearly seemed as some puppet toy loses some string on neck joint.
On other side of table Fizzi was getting inpatient. "Friends!- What are you talking about? What is this 'all-purpose juice'? What truly happened?"
But both demons as they answer recite a certain mantra in unison whit hint of desperation. "What happens on hotel room stays at hotel room."
.
.
As the party of siting adventurers on 'Schmuck fun place' get absolute restless, mentally death or dead inside, Savii 2.0 paused the video record.
Of course FurTrap still wanted answer on question from his former self. "Okay, for now seriously! What is this 'all-purpose juice'?"
He looks at the Newdori and Roxxan sitting on other side of table, but it was pointless, they dint even repeated the mantra from seconds before. Those two had a blue face whit full shock expression of terror and they jaw bone was dropped low as possible. It was clear that their minds are filled whit: 'Whaaaaaaaat?'
.
It was the maid who just played low and deliver the answer as that was one of the thing she do as a web browser assistant. "The 'Polyjuice' or know for it other name the 'all-purpose juice' is high quality potion whit a month long and manual production time due to his complexity. His effect allowed the drinker to safely assume the desired form of someone else. But…" She observed the two. "The effect they got must be some unexpected kind of unique state or allergic reaction. But to say for sure, I will need a more that shall be found on promo describing the selling product."
She looks onto the kitten and her young master gets it. The calico starts search his magic bag and soon a net bag full of empty glass bottles entered the scene filling part of the table. It looked as someone walk through beach and collected glass bottles, but that thing was several times bigger that the kitten. And of course the crumb had a wide grin smile as it was happy to help.
The terrified duo glared at the hill whit terror in their eyes.
.
Savii reach inside the net and picked up one of the empty glass bottles. As it was a magical product, the simple label on the bottle was simplified, but enchanted in useful way. The small text area that contained more info about the product was magical to contain more of the text that shall be possible. As the reader read it, it auto scroll down, revealing more data, and practically can contain amount that can fit into package leaflet for medicines. The one when unpacked from folding, while holding first end the other end will fall all way down reaching the floor describing what you can expect from this whit tinny letters. [Same effect can be archived by letting toilet paper roll to roll out.]
So she read it silently but every time she 'hmm' the trio went restless, and the kitten tilled his head on other side.
.
It was like waiting for verdict from judge at talent exam that will reveal how deeply screwed they are. "So, it's says that this potion is meant for those without polymorph ability. [Greatly changing not just appearance but shape, like an octopus.] Other way it can affect this ability and its use. Overdose of this potion can produce unwanted changes on appearance, hormones production, emotions and personality. It was observed that resulted appearance from overdose is not based only on the user option. That include skilled user to who dint need medium to take desired appearance. Even if the result can look random, it was influenced by collective desire, 'higher will' or simply destiny. Intended or unintended third party influence is also possible. Normally the effect of potion will disband within day or skilled user that can have more control can undo it sooner or chose when the change will past away. It's all thanks to the difficult production. But repeat use of this potion will not extend the duration of the transformation. Instead, there is chance for unwanted symptoms like partial or full change on form including the gender, unexpected sudden changes on random intervals, or in worst possible situation this potion will functioning like a curse for prolonger time. User's whit multi-personality or schizophrenia shall be aware that they can suffer from overlapping of theirs personalities and memories. But be aware that sudden massive mitose [body cell reproduction] on original form was not reported to today days. The overdose effect of the potion shall be departing in time, but that's completely individual from character to character. It can be sudden expire, or slowly weakling thought time." The maid finished her reading and then glanced at the two as she was their examining doctor. "Are you experiencing some of those symptoms?" Both of them flicked.
The Newdori's weird laugh was a clear answer. "Let's say that explain one or two things."
The Roxxan was on clearly panic. "Double mirrored sliding doors on the wardrobe are not dangerous at all in the morning."
FurTrap itself tried to cheer his friend's whit a pun. "Buddies, your heard it, there is no need to worry about that 'T-Rex Dino' who just tried to sell us cookies a minute ago but we ignored him. You will be fine. Like those two at the movie, they fine as far I see. So if you ask me, you will be fine to. Zing!" He makes a pun pose but his effort missed its desired effect. As the two stared at him whit cold glare that makes him force caught to change the tune. "Something doesn't fit on this story. How they even end up whit a crate of those potions in a same room? Seriously it shall have someone who waited for it."
.
Savii was already reading some paper handed to her by the kitten, that contained the investigate report about they stay in room. "Well… Someone misinterpret they nickname's and during the room shamble mess at night put them into honeymoon apartment, intended for real groom and bride. The original pair end up in- (some closet?)"
At this Roxxan was hasty to state question before her male companion can. "Wait. Those seriously cannot go all for Fizzi and Kurama so for whose it was?
"Are you must questioning even this? Who else there can have post address for certain private resort printed on his right ass check. Just try to make delivery when she shaking on dance floor. But I clearly see why they don't send it into the spa on hill, but decide to sneak it into the stadium as some materials that some technical antitalent will hardly bother to check. But when there was actually a delivery, due to 'Easter egg event' there was a redirection and it went into room where the addressees will pick it up, before the owner of that address will notice it. Plus I am sure they can take a 'good care' about that cargo."
White furry was at this point clearly nervous. "It seems that those Lolis have more to show that can one expecting from theirs age. Maybe they stuck on that form or maybe it is a lot of body powder and lipsticks." Then he reaches for the TV controller himself. "But seriously we shall move, or we don't get anywhere." And he force Savii to press play button.
.
.
As the record began to continue, the Fizzi at the stadium cafeteria was starting to be obviously curios and turn toward his wife. "Wait a second! How you know about this juice?"
She instant panicked form short moment, until she comes up whit suitable excuse. "It's nothing new and because it's a luxuries item, I read about it. At all, as a responsible person, I can't have on spa dangerous items, or at last I must assure the minimal safety of customer."
Of course her response catches attention from male part on other side of the table. "That a little controversially despite the fact that you have a personal militia formed out of armed children warriors."
Other demon attached on that. "I am not big fan of 'Geneva convention' [International law] and latter's, but Newdori, for some reasons, yours statement just ringing a familiar bell."
.
"Friends, please can we stay focused on topic? I can tell that we are definitely not the only source of restlessness here. Seriously you cannot be upset that someone gets wild on rare occasion. These kinds of thing happen on any cool party."
"Maybe you are referring at something trivial that currently escaping my field of vision. But my problem whit those two are that the both of them give bird." The moment she mentioned this, the pair in question jumped a little. "Then those two geniuses left their newborn offspring in the room, without securing the supervisor for them. It was nearly like abandoning them." The duo flinched again. "And they don't even thought about go after me for advice, when it shall be the first choice they shall make. But noooo! They keep silent." And again the pair got another of those fictional direct hits, that make theirs body deal whit heavy impact. "No matter what you think, both of them are now mother and father. While I can agree that this sudden status can be mentally challenging, when you will think about it, it's nothing but excuses." This time it was Fizzi who was this 'Whaaat?' expression whit tilled head.
The questioning duo was still stiff, but Newdori keep they defense on this court. "It's hard to think about them as my children's to exact point when the first half hour was full of surrealisms from first person perspective. And when I saw how the little fur ball was on my comp handling the accounting of our team, I say to myself that I need a fresh air to think. He ran my accounts so well, that he was not just pointing out my errors, fixing them on spot, but make better corrections than I usually do. (And this one of errors was super rare and nearly unnoticeable until someone will do audit.) But this ball does it and that not something one shall expect from newborn."
"For our defense, we ask Fizzi about when you will join us. But as Newdori said, the little ones showed skills that are something that shall not be there. First, they self-feed on us just fine; even there shall be nothing for them in terms of milk. Then, I got from the little one a more than adequate help by doing my makeup. So after half of hour of theirs rule over the room on morning, we stabilize our appearances a little (finally be able to put our clothes on) and got out. Saying, that we had been irresponsible is misleading. They have been more responsible that we can manage combined together."
The fox give them a weird suspicious look as she realizes something unusual. Then she looked on those two sitting furry kittens asking them if they can make testimony about themselves. Those two nodded with theirs heads and soon whit they paws the duo grasp mini wooden stick for getting leftovers food from teeth's and as a duet, they together make a pose for camera, using those sticks as props for swords, guns or something between them.
.
The FurTrap was impressed. "Wow, it like seeing a miniature version of Newdori and Vr… Roxxan."
His waif was on his page. "Indeed, but there is more to it. At this point I can assume that this extend my rule of 'not looking deeply to someone character sheet', in order to not spoil for them and myself their possible future. But we stuck here on point, where is in this game nearly higher power on work, so there's no point of hesitate. Are here someone against it?" As she looks around, nobody make any objection. So she moves her hands above the kittens to pull out a content menu about these two that probably only she can see and manipulate whit it. As she explores their hidden stats and abilities she frowns. "As expected, this explain everything about you neglect over these youngster." And she sighed heavily closing the menu and spreading herself on her chair. "Advanced class from start, filled up whit unlocked skills to grab, accessible knowledge, and intellect they shall not possess yet. It's not that they can use most of it, but they 'tech tree' are practically preset to certain amount. They not just you offspring's, they are you legacy born from your pride and supported by desire to have new clear start that you two cannot afford for yourself. Not even knowing this, you two subconsciously known that you have nothing more to learn them, and in order to not negatively influence them you tried to set them on their journeys so they can become you beacon of pride."
.
As she though really hard about what to do with this situation, the rest of this group had watching her silently whir raised intense. "Okay, it will go like this! I will accept those two newborns into sanctuary in order to prepare them for they journey. They are too weak to depart right now, and even if they can get aces to theirs ability as they will level up, they still missing certain skills. From mi point of view, quite important. Those will be hardly learned if they stays whit theirs parents, or depart. I assume that parents love toward them will rise as they prove that they are they pride for which one, both of them hopped as both of them currently feels that they are not worthy of theirs child's love. So mister Newdori, missis… madam Roxxan, don't worry about losing them. I can tell that when they will be ready, they will come to visit you whit bag full of achievements, wort of the investment you made. Plus I make sure to teach them to write home letters or at last write a journal about they adventures. Or maybe make a book."
Newdori a Roxxan exchanged a short glance and quickly agreed to anything this fox come up in her brainstorming.
The duo of furry kittens make an approval gesture as they make nearly a dance photo pose making big grin on their faces. It was like they been too eager to jump into this golden opportunity.
.
But it was again the FurTrap who must ask something that shall be let go. "What about the crate of juice? Where it has come, and for whom it was?"
Kurama give it a hard though that her 'Hmmm' was heard, and the fox realize possible answer. "It does seem that my lack of awareness, or supervision in this case, returned back to bite me pretty hard." But when she starts her line 'I will look onto it.' As for interruption of her though process, another Loli messenger showed up whit another note forcing it to the lady. But she see troughs this too convenient event and state her verdict. "Nice try but I will not fall for this trick. Ignoring the intended purpose, the entire cauldron of that potion is too expensive to overlock it in financial terms. It's doubtful that you can afford it by saving every extra penny, even by working together. So everyone get ready! 'I will' look at it and 'I will' get suitable answers." As she read the paper, while ignoring the cold sweeting on messenger, she speaks up. "I know about that singer's competition. It's clearly started when that singing shark girl was lurking in shallow waters of bath tub in middle of lobby on midnight as if it was some reverse scenario of shipwrecking on a deserted island." She speaks as she read. "I see, there lines even about her. So she is so lazy that she basically hunted passerby by jumping on them, hug them and keep them captive until they don't listen to her 'hart enchanting' song. And get praised her for it. Hm. Lately they feed her whit sardines to that point, when her nonexistent scheme leads to be fed by luxurious stuff, and the bath tub become wishing well full of coins." Her eyebrow curved as she thought about it. "What, she have an identity crisis thinking that she's a mermaid? Or she got a lazy idea that she can pull this out and become idol?" Then the fox must read some request that she instantly denied. "No, we don't keeping her as a pet! Nobody will dare to let that shark into a Koi [spotty carp] pool or into spa waters." It was seems that she broadcasting her speech to her 'Sanctuary'. "Seriously I shall make a checkup on what going on rooms."
This was mean for her kids, but both stressed up demons overacted and as they answer speak up a mantra in unison whit hint of desperation. "What happens on hotel room, stayed at hotel room." They instantly flinched when she reward them whit angry stare.
.
As the white furry make now only hesitant laugh of embarrassment as a reaction to his friends who was at that moment lost, the messenger hurried the lady to read all pages of reports.
As she was flipping page after page, whit eyes still on the reports, one of her eyebrows raised high as if there was an interesting passage in book that she was reading. "That come to the next point of mi agenda:- Fizzi dear, where is yours Robo-Maid Savii?" Whit this question she established a somehow calm, friendly conversation.
.
"Oh my, I hope that someone dint seal her in cartoon box and not shipped her somewhere. Like to Yeti, or to Santa."
"I doubt she have so high cold resistance to be any use on those places at all."
"Fizzi, please, I need to hear from you, that this was never happened!"
Roxxan flinched as she received a hint of 'deja-vu' [feeling of something that has already been seen] and starts thinking about it. Trying to remember something, which shall be: (important?)
.
"Listen, I don't know where she is or what she is doing. Normally she does what she wants or what she asked for. I will not be surprised if she was already conquered current kitchen."
"Well, I have now a clear image what she was doing during the late night where most of us were busy or sleeping like logs. It's quite interested topic, if you ask me. Want to know?"
"In past few events, I dare to say we are not that much interested. So, we can pass it. Thank you, but no."
"Obviously, it will be something like 'Cherry boys hunter' catches a few valuable catch, but I seriously dint meant to learn her that stuff. So she had to figure it out on her own."
.
But FurTrap give them a serious and kind of suspicious look, like he finally figures something. "Wait for moment! Roxxan has a 'Cherry boy's hunter' title? Then- Newdori buddy,- are you a 'cherry boy'?"
"If we think about it, he got revived by flames of purgatory, so we can assume that this statement is correct."
But what the priest has done was a laugh of pure desperation. "Not anymore! And that in more than one way." His eyes give hint on memory of some unexplainable scene that was currently again occurring right before his eyes again.
Roxxan was the same reaction. "Yeah, more than one way, I refuse to admit that all of it is my fault. Even when I still cannot process the 'trio of things'."
.
"Whyyy? Hooow?"
"I double that, but on party I heard that Roxxan sister, miss Vronica is actually married whit someone. Have she?... Where is she anyway?"
Newdori glared at the lady. "Oh cut that out already! You can't expect to nothing to happen, when you practically lock drunken pair on fire to fancy seductive room. We have been set up. And you missy: Are you actually expecting from a demons to follow a sacred treaty of marriage, blessed by the god? We do pact and deals, we are not obligated to follow rules that we don't agree to them. You are so mighty that this shall be obvious. So are you on bubbles, weed, catnip, or something completely different?" He turned his gaze at the other person across the table. "And you Fizzi! Add anything behind you name and you literally get a famous fizzy drink. Don't think I don't know about you secret stash."
"First of all I must state, that this genius here makes sure that during the entire ceremony I stayed a little bit behind. Then the rules will apply only to Vronica. So even if you want to apply that rule on me, you fail! I am in gray zone at worst or best. Second, somebody here actually expect from me to 'not tear off that cherry'? It was an opera guy, not this one here. It was like one-per-life opportunity. If not me, then somebody else will do it anyway, it just happened to be me. So I am double innocent, in this set up. And for the third, Fizzi darling, when you name was mentioned in front of me for the first time: I was though that there is a 'free drinks handover' promo campaign of new fizzy product. And I still don't get that drink for this day."
.
"Well. I am famous and shuwa, shuwa. Zing!" [shuwa - SFX reference of bubbles leaving the surface of fizzy drink.]
But Kurama snap, and for the first time for a while she barked, and what worse, she barked at her fresh husband. "Fizzi, focus! You maid Savii committed robbery." As she stared him into submission she becomes a little bit sarcastic to vent her anger. "But not just any ordinary robbery. Nooo!- At the deep night she and her group of 'animatrons', they broke into the vault. They handle the scientific security and cameras at 100 points from 100, but they know nothing about magic. Instant sleep or other mind traps had nearly zero effect on them. But that means they ignored the magical record device. What's more problematic is, that the vault was not used to store valuables, but problematic relic, product, and random stuff, which was just locked away, so they don't do any harm. Instead of stealing something they aimed for the faulty character data (on character sheet profile) 'Alternator/ changer'. And when I mean faulty, I mean it don't working correctly to the point that it was banned from use and exploring that area was shuttled down from a long ago." She sighed heavily. "Her group- They screwed up so deeply, that they actions resulted in a three way fights between them, security, and some third party that showed up on that night. Some declared that they were messing up around early. What start as a fist fight over non-existed contraband, evolved into gun shooting while wild racing through a night, trashing so many go-cars on the track into pile of scrap. (Where they even get the tanks and other heavy weaponry?) Repair team still trying to figure out the entire weight of collateral damage from this event. But even now it's clear that the stadium will be closed, and it will be not just for a while. Initial report says that the track itself is so on total repairs that we shall tear it down and make a new one." And she sighed again trying to calm down.
.
.
The trio on 'shmuck place', followed by the kitten as the crumb observed others, looked at Savii 2.0 whit disbelief. The personal assistant was to forced smile on her face that, for now, they dint ask any questions. But they remembered a certain scene when Newdori yelled as angry parent 'Get out of it, right now!' on Fizzi who act as spoiled child who refused get out from a big military battle tank.
.
.
The look on Fox faces make it clear that she is restless, as if something doesn't feel right. As if the evidence and intel's she got, was nothing more than a diversion to lead her astray. "There is something that doesn't fit into it at all, which make it even weirder. Her group, on some point… they just completely abandoned they goals of changing they character stats, and went whit new goal. Like they received some oracle or realization that make them go whit new plan unconditionally. They dint take anything from the vault and abandoned the 'Alternator' still on while in half of the process of doing some changes. It was nearly like they managed to archive theirs goals just by understand that 'Is it possible.' or just realize that what they are looking for is not there. But what's more annoying, the third party was more than determinate to capture the entire 'anymatrons team' for some reason. They throw enormous amount of effort, resources, and reinforcement into it. It looked nearly like they wanted something that was in Savii group possession, as if they unintentionally carried something. Normally I will though that there was someone else who pulled the string of theirs actions, but everything is in so mess that is easy to thing, that everyone just vents by some misunderstanding."
.
Then she read another message that was again 'urgently handled' to her, by another messenger. From second to second she got angrier as she start even visible shaking from wrath. "They do what?!" As her eye brow twitched furiously, she 'crushed' that paper page in her hand. "Don't care who or how, but… I want that dam mechanics dolls right here, right now!" As she was ready to start barking and spread commands, she received another plot twist, when events for her plans got another unexpected turn. On which one she loses her words and stubbornly folded her arms.
It was because the main objective of her orders, the maid Savii, was approached the table whit trolley/ pushcart, bringing to Fizzi and Kurama they morning breakfast as she was indeed a Fizzi's personal maid and assistant. Those two for this moment dints grab any food from the food corner, so it was expectable that they just waiting to be served. And there is no suitable one who shall do it that someone maid.
.
The entire table stared at her as she was (lively?) handled her masters and customer's whit (maid love?).
As she was putting food for everyone on table, circling around as some professional, her white haired master stated a question. He looked as the words of the question was forced into his mount by his wife who intense stared at him whit pulled up check in 'angy mod' [angry in cute way, like when pet rabbit stamping in protest] because she was a stubborn moment. "Hey Savii, we have a funny conversation here, it's about what interested has happened during last night. So I want to ask you, how was your night?"
.
She shocked all the adults, when she gives him a (too warm?) smile. But second shock arrived when she speak at them, not as printer/ or 'Pc speaker module' whit limited emotions, but as Vocaloid singer whit nearly melodic voice full of emotions. "Oh, thank you for asking, master. It was truly eventful day and night. So much happen, so much new experiences. Those memories will stay whit me forever." She giggles as for little moment she daydreaming about it. "But… If you really want my entry in yours conversation, then I shall say a word about night events that was prepared to those who were not sleeping."
The quartet of customers emitted nearly physical 'Oh shit' aura when they realize, that the way the entire party went, there was definitely nothing prepared forehand. And thus there must be some trick behind it. Someone even swallowed dry as he got into realization how easy is to trick her.
.
But after she filled the table whit plates and glasses for everyone she prompted them for eat. "After we put most of those who have enough of fun into rooms, I and few other of my companions joined a somehow difficult role-play event. It start as scavenger hunt in exploration of the abandoned underground dungeon slash-tag [#] dumpster for scraps. On next part we fistfight in wild western movie theme and for that we got another team to joining us as opponents."
As the maid was stating every step of her night adventure, the fox lady was more and more unsettled.
.
"And on the battlefield race part, we have so many new participants, that it was really hard to keep it up whit the rolle-play. But that one was must be shortened due approached morning."
Kurama on this statement mentioned that the intruders were not insane enough to risk, to meet lord of the arena, and known when to pull out.
.
But Savii continued on next part. "Then we had a ninja test of skills of stealth, when we used a key from dungeon on portal in wardrobe to enter a sleepy mountain. The goal was to stealthy entering the Japanese citadel while not waking up anyone on estate as it will mean a disqualification. Our team was the only one who participates in this part of event."
Group moved they gaze from Neko-maid to fox-lady as Kurama's eye pupils got tinny as peas when she commented that the 'Alternator' was not altering someone inside the vault, but something outside that had a gateway properties.
.
"From treasury at the castle we obtained a key to 'Jade palace'."
The face of the fox was not friendly at all and someone may hear her growling. "You stole my key to Jade palace?"
.
As expected the maid dint get that message and only give a short 'I don't get it.' look, before she continues in her story. "After we use another gate, we arrived at the base of mysterious mountain whit has his top reaching above clouds. Climbing the staircase of 'thousands of steps' on top of that mountain was something. And I must admit that the scenery looked nice when sun rising from too far horizon bath the entire area whit his first beams. Above the clouds were a campus and the moment we enter the perimeter, the master of martial arts has personally welcomed us, praising us for arriving at morning breeze. We were excited that we arrived at time, and when we stated for what we are there, we enter the palace. The master was truly very friendly, tolerant and always looked like he know more that he showing, whit his pleased mood. He even offered to skip his usual trial for us so we can return here on time. He even allowed us to have short stop at the gallery of artefacts. And finally at 'pond of wisdom', under the legendary 'dragon scroll', we traded that second key for our prize of 'personality upgrade', and I love it." She turns all around on her feet in circle letting her skirt flow, whit smile and giggle.
In the contradictory to happy maid the fox foamed salvia around her mouth as she was roughly played whit cutlery.
As the remaining trio was sweeting, and the duo of kitten already finished them meals, Newdori break the silence from their team. "Savii in this morning you look really great, but I want you to think about something. Doesn't it sound a little suspicious that you from all had this certain quest? Where you even get it, who gives it to you, and how do you know how to get on those places, and what to use? It sounds for me pretty legendary."
.
"Oh, from the beginning, we had this mysterious shady guidance completely covered in shadows coat. It was something like reward for our hard work during the party and race. The guide was really nervous during every part of the event, as if it was its first task on this business from a while. The idling newbie behavior of our guide became even weirder when at moment of leaving; we asked if there is something we need to do something in return for that upgrade. But the martial art master had laughed it out, that we don't need to do anything. He even comments that they already manage to collect/ retrieve all necessary 'quest items' that our party managed to pick up or knocked up on way there. which was quite weird because as we back checked we don't picked up anything extra. But he pointed on the bag that arrived from nowhere and seemed too walked on its own, so we let it be."
The cutlery in Kurama's hands was transformed into fine art stature, by combination of pure strength and wrath.
.
"At the end of this event a white mist surrounded us and after it disperses our group ended at the stadium (helipad?). It was already time for breakfast and due to understaffed personal we went to kitchen to help. But before I entered the building, the guide asked me for the first key. It became very upset when I told that I already handle it to adequate person at the 'Jade Palace'. Then he leaved saying that there is other quest that must take care of it. Now, when I think about the guide, for the entire time it seemed that he was looking for something, but was unable to find it."
The golden fox had at that moment to obviously forced smile on her face. "Savii, can you tell me where this first key is?"
.
"Oh, that's quite interesting. On the jade palace artefact gallery, there was this mirror whit ghost mist. Looking into it, I saw there Vronica on her quick quest, and after short discussion between us, I hand over to her the key through the mirror. Now, when I thinking about it, it was quite unnatural feeling, when I force my hand through that mirror."
Everyone looked at Roxxan.
She panicked and starts gesticulate in denial. "Wait! I don't know anything about any key!" As she was glancing from side to side for safe string, her eyes glance on some shiny surface of glass or bottle on which she see a mirror image of Vronica, sending her some message. Roxxan freezes for a second. "Wait! What?" In surprised facial expression she looked on her clothes. There was this small pocket so she reaches into it. This pocket was so small that only part of her hand, maybe only fingers can fit into it. But her hand continued in and continued further, until her hand to elbow literally disappeared into it. As she searched in mystically deep pocket, her eyes wide up as indicator that she was founded something. As she was withdrawing her hand from the pocket, soon she pulled out a mysterious item shaped as wine bottle that had some (vine?) into his glass parts.
Newdori next to her observed the item while she placed it on the table for the fox to take it. "Yea, high quality adult drink in bottle that is partially altar and ceremonial item to honor deity, is definitely a good start that can open door to someone ass."
.
As Fizzi palled on his friend missing pronounce filter in this critical moment when there was ignited bomb at table, it was Savii who speak up in restriction manner. "Newdori dono, I must speak up that you shall watch what words connections you teaching to our youngsters. Not to mentioning that we have lady here. Which remind me that the martial art master from 'Jade Palace' have message for you lady Kurama. He said that he will expect yours arrival for tea party."
That moment the fox have facial expression of thug from dark alley who just received a pick up line for a street brawl. "Oh I can see right from here that by 'pure coincidence', everyone will be present on that tea party. How wonderful promise to lose some steam at after party master level skirmish battle." And she grinned dangerously at the maid. "Is there something more you want to reveal to us? Something like how that guide manages to convince you to go on that quest?"
This scene was still recorded by the camera Loli, but when the Loli saw that smile on the mother face, she began slowly backstopping to safe distance. As the recording area widened it was revealed that this group catches a large audience. Manny just stranded around and drink something.
.
"Oh that's silly; because the borrowed upgrade from mistress generosity, we put pursuing all kinds of upgrades at our agenda. When the guide heard this, it promotes this event and we got promise of even higher stage of upgrade that we can only dream up."
Kurama keeps her dangerous smile/ grin, but as she stands up from her place, her eye was twitching by overdose of stress. "Oh don't say, so it was again, 'me', who neglect something. I have a clear image of what I shall to do next, even if it is a little bit unorthodox. And it seems that I will be pretty busy for a while. Don't get me wrong, even if it wasn't mi sort of fun I truly enjoyed the few days. But for now I must go and I just cannot afford to keeps you all around so I will disband this team competition right now. First I shall make cleaning on my property and clean this mess. So Savii, I shall relieve you group from duty and collect my gifts, for now you had them only borrowed." As she looks around and asking everyone for theirs attention, her fluffy tails awake as some octopus. One gently grabbed the two kittens from table, places them into hug of nearly staying Lolis and hurried this quartet to enter the sanctuary in middle of the bush of tailed fluffiness. Others tail reach for the ('Animatrons?') equipped whit her upgrades and recollect something from them that locked like small on blue shining cube made of unknown material, which they go onto her hands. Other use of those tentacles was to grab her kids and showed them into Sanctuary. Some of those Lolis approached theirs mom on they own and some of them was grabbed hallway and tossed in anyway. It was nearly perfect sweep up, that the audience of 'visitor team' got captivated by it waiting about what will come next.
The movie director prodigy was still backing toward safety, but it was eventually stopped by someone.
A special service agent Loli in black suit, tie and black eyeglasses, approached her from side and force on the camera girl a same eyeglasses that she was wearing. Then this agent went towards his mother, skillfully evading the furry tail tentacles. When he arrived next to her standing in professional posture and she notices him, the pickup cleaning was already at his end.
.
So she grabbed the free black eyeglasses that this Loli hand over to her and let this agent to sit/ grab one of her tails. As she stands up on her chair, to get higher, she again makes a better look around on the 'Visitor team' and makes her speech. "I not going to lie to tell you all that it not bugging me that we lost. To be straight, it still bugging me. Before I put this team competition to its end I must thank you all for you participating. I suppose that everyone here has his own dose of adrenalin, fun, joy and whatever. It's questionable when we meet again, but if it will be on track, then make be sure that it will not go the same way that it went last time. So before we all go, please cooperate whit me on this test." And as he pulled those eyeglasses on her eyes, she pulled up the special service agent siting on her tail, above her head so everyone can see this girl.
This Loli had in her hands some high tech magic wand whit extraterrestrial hint for origin and some questionable controls on it. She raised it and pressed execute button.
But before that Newdori only managed to yell question if that is that stick from 'Men in Black' to erase memories on witnesses.
Roxxan instantly turned his head toward him and bark at him. 'What?!'
Savii looked away toward the camera girl.
And Fizzi only managed releasing some 'What' noise and grimace.
.
Then the entire cafeteria vas flashed out whit bright light.
And as was the mechanic sound of this technique fading out, the scene dint reappear but instead the flash light move, turned this video record to its end whit white screen and whit simple message:
[Love stories of certain fox: Fizzi's Episode. The End]
.
.
[Notes, theories, and misleading explanations.]
-Monster tag/ trait - character that's normally undefeatable, until: 1) Heavy preparations have been made. (Intel and knowledge about that character…) [Know you opponent as you know yourself. Then you will not lose a thousand of battles.] 2) Opponent has anti-monster trait or equipment and skills whit bonus against this concrete type. 3) Or stats of challenger is simply too high, and allow him to fight equally or higher. 4) Numbers, tech and cooperation of challengers are enough to overpower the monster. [Raid]
-In this age, the term monster is used mostly to field creep or opponents on adventurer route. Eventually used as an insult to hatred or despicable person. Or in general for characters that are simply: not humanoid, not pet, and are dangerous, deadly, mystical, wild, or just ugly. And for that demanded to be slayed by hero.
-Kaiju - Ocean giant monster like child of kraken and Godzilla, but whit goal of destroying surface civilization to make living space for his masters.
-Shenanigans - secret or dishonest activities, usually of a complicated and humorous or interesting type: Maybe, a devious trick used especially for an underhand purpose. Or, tricky or questionable practices or conduct —usually used in plural. Or, high-spirited or mischievous activity —usually used in plural.
-Boss class in Raid dungeon. - In MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer On-line Rolle Play Game) there is event 'Raid' for guild or alliance. Monster there have huge bonus on stats, including the bosses. The difficulty is boosted to the level that its need a good cooperation of entire team, divided to specialized group, plus the number of participants is limited. These events have huge final reward, but its long, harsh, time consuming, marathon full of total defeat. Participating in raids is costly on material and supply preparations, and only the last boss has the key to treasury. Not mentioning that adjusting tactic on overall strategy on freshly acquired Intel is the key to victory. To increase difficulty even more, the final boss often change his attack patterns when his HP drop to low, often getting new stage boost to mock the challenges, while he tries to vipe them out from board, ruining their collective hard work. Someone, will send them to spawn whit wink and jiggles, or diabolical laugh.
-About that curse thing - there was certain famous training spot for martial artists, whit bamboos poles sticking directly out from the small ponds. Obvious balance training if one will train his balance while jumping from pole to pole and fight his opponent in midflight. But none of mostly young hotheads who arrived in to this place pursuing getting better at their martial arts was informed before they went into training and fall into some pond, that the name of this place is miss interpretation. When fall into water is punished by the not removable curse of (when soaked in cold water) turning into whatever was drowned into that certain pond. (returning when soaked by hot water) And the guide was stating warnings and explanations after the facts was done.
-Koi - (literally "brocaded carp"), are colored varieties of the Amur carp that are kept for decorative purposes in outdoor koi ponds or water gardens. If you see an aristocrat garden whit little/low bridge over shallow garden lake and see colorful spotty fishes mostly white - orange, white - black, orange - red, or according to the bread, you found a nice place to relax. Any carp outside the controlled pond (in wild) are considered as a pest. Plus for humans they are not tasty at all and are considered as the food of poor, because nobody will buy them. Certain Byakuga sadly looked on his empty pond when tricky Yachiru secretly cat-fished out all his Koi's for food while wearing cat-girl costume.
-Jade Palace - Due to the mineral used on construction, this place get its green color, and is used to hold relic, knowledge, and history. Often are guarded by uniquely skillful warriors in many arts. And for so it the place become known for its training grounds, when many prominent or talented character trained in surrounded camp theirs mostly martial arts.
-The pond of wisdom - legends says that those ponds have ability to unlock someone spiritual potential through awakening, meditation and self-realization. They are located in places whit strong spirituals powers, like points where ley-lanes [planet life force vein] are crossing, and thus in hardly accessible locations. The ponds are one of the bases for feng-shui and jing-jang teachings.
-Mirror to mist - there is many stories that included mirror which connected to place far beyond physical realm, but mostly used only for observation due carefully placed protection spell. Because without it, we will be talking about gate to this realm, and there was too much effort for it to stay only as observation orb.
Tea party or Debauchery Tea Party (Tea Party of Libertine) was a non-guild group of 27 players in Elder Tale. [Log Horizon] It was present for two years before they disbanded, but it remains notorious among experienced players even after everyone went they own way. Some disappeared into shadow from which they come and some become leading persons of their own groups and gilds. During their active period, they were known for always charging ahead of others. The group became immensely successful in their endeavors, and make a name by finishing dungeons raids whit nearly legendary records that even big and powerful gilds was struggling to finish for a long time. Everyone from this group have peerless personality.
