Alright people, I come back too you with a new chapter! And wouldn't you know it, the voting system still works! It actually makes me really happy to see all of them, and to know that the more work I put into this, the more of you will gather!
So, here are the whopping winners themselves, carrying in at 16 and 18 votes each!
Spoiler: Winning Votes
[X] You said you were the Grandmaster, but...What does that MEAN?
[X] Do you know where the Lasso Boa-Boa is?
And again, make sure to stop by my discord for this quest anytime you wish, for all kinds of fun stuff! We've got games, memes, discussion, even some secret stuff! So make sure to stop by and have some fun! I know I do!
That said, let's let our own little Jackerfly spread his social wings for the tree man who lives with predators. Enjoy!
Oro has been staring at you for four minutes now without blinking and it was freaking you out.
You tried to shuffle yourself to relieve some tension, but that only made it worse as you felt his eyes stay locked on your form.
God, why did he have to stare literally after asking about your thoughts? Doesn't he get that you couldn't focus on what to ask when he was STARING INTO HIS SOUL. And given what he did earlier, that might not have been metaphorically either.
'Kami, if i'm not careful, I'll just blurt out the first thing I think, like-'
"So, you said you were the Grandmaster. What does that mean?" You blurted.
'FUCK!'
DAMN IT! You KNEW what a Grandmaster was! You'd seen movies, you've played games, YOU'VE WATCHED ANIME. Why did you ask that! You looked over Oro, who had, mercifully, blinked his eyes shut for a moment, and seemed to be nodding to himself.
"Aye. A growing Cub must start somewhere, so why not with the slightly basic. Okay then. Ya'see, a grandmaster is one who kicked the SHIT out of every other master, until they admitted I was better. At least, in MY experience. Want to see my 'former' enemy collection?" Oro explained before suddenly pulling out a skull with a bendy straw coming from its temple and taking a small drink form it.
You let out a small gulp at hearing that...whatever that was, and thankfully managed to say a stuttered 'No' when he offered you a sip.
Oro merely shrugged his shoulders and went back to sipping, all the while motioning you to go one with an oddly expressive foot gesture.
You...weren't really sure WHAT to ask. The main issue wasn't a lack of questions, far from it, but more so your inability to get a handle on his personality or thought process.
One second he's a kind, if slightly senile old man, another he's a wise sage giving wisdom and pain, and the next he's almost bored as he talks about previous things and people he's killed. If was like walking through a minefield except the mines moved around, and WANTED to explode.
So, you decided to ask the simplest question you could think of that wouldn't somehow set off the old man before you.
You briefly considered asking about the router in the corner, but decided you probably didn't want to know.
"By the way... Do you know where the Lasso Boa-Boa is? Cause, it's kinda why I came here, and it's apparently been two days now..." You trailed of, purposefully this time, to try and let Oro fill the blank.
He blinked for a moment, before bracing his arm against himself and closing his eyes in thought.
"Hmmmmm, Boa, Boa...Ah! That ol' sum bitch! Sure, here ya go!" Oro pondered for a moment before suddenly bursting forward from his chair into motion.
Unlike last time, you could actually keep track of the movements, if only barely, but you didn't miss how Oro seemed to swing past and through holes in the roof you hadn't notice before.
Before you could even comprehend what had happened, Oro was back in his seat, but this time holding something new.
Spoiler: THAT'S A SNAKE!
You couldn't stop your jaw from dropping as you saw the item you had come here for just be whirled around by Oro like a child with a stuffed animal.
Oro let loose a loud stream of laughter as he continued to swing the Wu around.
"Ha! This guy always ends up somewhere near me or the tree every few years when he's got no master! Ain't you lucky! Hahahahaha!" Oro contined while laughing, at times even squeezing the Lasso hard enough for it to make little hissing sounds itself. Or at least, that's what you HOPED was causing those noises.
You closed your mouth and was about to reach out and grab the Wu, before you remembered just what that would do. You stopped yourself, and suddenly, Oro's laughter took on a whole different level.
"Hahahahaha! Well Cub, What Now?" Oro asked, laughter suddenly cut off and eyes serious.
You desperately said your answer, though you couldn't really hear it over the sound of your blood pumping through your ears.
[] Could you pretty please give me the Wu?
- Add explatives to make it more likely, such as With a cherry on top, ect.
[] I Chllenge you to a Xiaolin Showdown!
