Slayers: The Meaning of Life
Part 16: Random Insanity
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
N: After a close call involving our heroes and their new acquaintance, Mace-Sama, a hasty retreat is made from Filia's house.
me: *panting* eh...I haven't ran that fast in years...I can't believe her! She's impossible.
Phibby: *still sniffling* I didn' even do anything! He just started pulling my hair!
me: I know. You were a good boy.
Phibby: *looks around* Ooo...A beach! Maybe we'll see Sis!
me: Sis?
Phibby: *excited* I haven't seen Dolphin in a long time!
me: Oh. Dolphin.
Phibby: You just don't like her 'cause Zelas doesn't like her.
me: I've never even met her. But I've heard she's kinda crazy.
Phibby: Yup! C'mon! *runs onto the beach*
N: The beach is completely deserted except for a lone young woman. She's strolling along with a sort of queer gait, dragging a stick behind. She looks over her shoulder and smiles when she hears the "pat-pat" of Phibrizio's footsteps in the sand.
Phibby: Dolphin!
Dolphin: *grins and waves* Oy, Phibby-Kun!
N: XellAn looks at the insane Mazoku. Deep Sea Dolphin, at the moment, looks very normal. She takes the form of a pretty girl, with blue waste-length hair and azure eyes.
*the two Mazoku Lords hug one another*
Dolphin: Who's yer friend, Phibby-Kun?
Phibby: This si XellAn. She's Xellos' bitch!
me: Watch your mouth!
Phibby: ...His lover.
me: Phibby!
Phibby: ...Girlfriend?
me: *warningly* Phibrizio!
Phibby: *sighs* Friend.
me: *nods approval*
N: Dolphin looks curiously at XellAn. Her blue eyes wander up and down the half demon girl, then her gaze comes to rest on XellAn's purple scarf.
Dolphin: Ooo...Pretty! ^^
N: She snatches the scarf away from XellAn and whirls around in the sand with the lilac fabric flapping behind her on the breeze.
me: *staring at her* Okay...
Phibby: *matter-of-factly* She's always like this.
Dolphin: *laughing* May I have this? I like it. ^^
me: Well...uh...It's kind of special to me.
Dolphin: Please? Oh, pretty please? *bends down and unclasps one of her anklets* I'll give you my jingly bracelet.
me: I have one of those.
Dolphin: Oh. *pout*
me: *points* I like your necklace though.
N: Said necklace is a bronze chain with a glittering blue pendant on it. Something in the stone shimmers like flowing water in the sunlight.
Dolphin: Okay! Let's trade.
me: Sure.
N: Dolphin lifts the necklace from around her neck and hands it to XellAn. The Lord then proceeds to dip her new possession into the frothy waves. She pulls it out, gives it a shake, and it is now a deep aqua color.
Dolphin: Better. *drapes it around her shoulders*
me: ...Wow...
Phibby: *tugs on her sleeve* XA! Ask her!
me: Ask Dolphin? Are you kidding?
Phibby: No. Ask.
me: Dolphin-Sama?
Dolphin: *looks at her curiously*
me: What is the meaning of life?
Dolphin: *queer smile* Hmm...
N: Deep Sea seems to be lost in some dark reverie. She sways a little, then slowly sinks down so that she's seated in the sand.
me: ...Um...Dolphin-Sama?
Dolphin: *softly singing* ...Your lips move but I can't hear what you say...
me: This is pointless. ^^; *turns to leave*
Dolphin: *still in a dream-like state* There's a silence around me; I can't seem to think strait...I knew once. It used to follow me. But...I turned to look and it was gone...I cannot put my finger on it now...I'm sorry. It has slipped my mind.
me: *sits down beside Dolphin* It's okay. No one else knew either.
Dolphin: *smiles* You're only half, aren't you?
me: *surprised* Yeah. How'd you know?
Dolphin: You're too compassionate to be a pure Mazoku. *pauses* Do you think I'm crazy?
me: I think every one is crazy.
Dolphin: *sighs* It was your boss that made me this way.
me: I know.
Dolphin: I used to be normal. i guess I was kind of like you. Zelas hates me. My own sister...she drove me insane.
me: Dolphin-Sama, I don't think you're that crazy.
Dolphin: We're friends now, XellAn-Chan. Drop the formality.
me: Hmm...*smiles*
N: Phibrizio has removed his shoes and is running through the waves. The two woman watch as he scampers around.
Dolphin: I've heard he has a baby-sitter of sorts now. Would that be you?
me: *nods* Yeah. L-Sama keeps a pretty close eye on him though.
Dolphin: He was lucky.
Phibby: *calls from the water's edge* Watch! Watch! XA, Watch!
Dolphin: *smiles* You're very special to him. I'm glad. Year after year, he's runnin' over the same old ground.
me: And what has he found?
Dolphin: Only the same old fears. People don't want to die. They fear him. Even Gaav did. He never used to care. I'm happy he's seeing things different with some one who cares about him around.
me: I guess I'm kind of like a mama to him.
N: The two sit there watching the Hellmaster until he gets bored. Then he falls asleep in XellAn's lap. At the time which the sun begins setting, the Demi-Mazoku arises.
me: Well, we better get going. Phibby-Baby's already asleep and it's getting late.
Dolphin: *nods*
me: It was nice meeting you, Dolphin-Chan. I'll see you again.
Dolphin: *muttering* ...Into the distance, a ribbon of black...stretched to the point of no turning back...*snaps back to normal* Ja Ne! ^^ *waves*
N: XellAn saunters off the beach, the sleeping Hellmaster in her arms, and heads towards the nearest town.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
