*BACKSTAGE*



Verie: Konnichiwa, minna-san!
Others: ~death glare~
Verie: .. .. I feel loved now ;_;'
Brad: ~twitch~ do you have any idea how long we've been stuck here?
Verie: a little under two months?
Brad: ~twitch twitch~ exactly.
Verie: ... I blame the SCOURGE OF ALL THINGS GOOD.
Weiss&Schwarz(sans Farf): ~glance at Farf~
Verie: ... not him.
Weiss&Schwarz: eh? o.o;;
Shinigami: She means this kid at school no da.
Verie: ~twitches again~ he's evil. Braaaad, if you don't want to be left for another month, shoot him for me.
Brad: >.; you took my gun.
Verie: ... oh.. right. Nevermind then.
Omi: . .and why do you call this kid the scourge of all things good?
Verie: That's SCOURGE OF ALL THINGS GOOD, in caps, Omi.
Omi: ... well, fine, but why call him that?
Verie: BECAUSE HE IS.
Shinigami: ~nodnod~ da.
Jim: Ha. I haven't met him. ^-^
Verie: ... -.-; ~Kefka laugh~
Jim: O.O; ~hides behind Omi~ don't do that!! >.;;
Verie: ^-^
Brad: ... For the record: I still hate you all.
Verie: Be happy. It's too late for us to have a Valentine's Day intermission.
Weiss&Schwarz: ~relief~
Verie: HOWEVER. There's still Easter/My birthday to think about. Because they're on the same day. ~cackles maniacally~
Weiss&Schwarz: >.;;
Verie: and thus... on with the plot! Because we're ALMOST DONE WITH DISC ONE!! ~bounces~


*******************
~*DISC ONE: PART FOUR*~

And so, our main characters went into "dream land." So now they were watching Botuna, who appeared to be standing at the edge of a canyon and staring down it.

"Kyoros, you sure this is the place?" Serd asked. "Positive." Kyoros replied.

(... Censored not these freaks again.)
{Where's Botuuunaaaa?}
([Shut up.])

"I don't wanna patrol the wrong place... like last time." Serd sighed. "Well, sorry to say it but, this isn't the place." Botuna stated.

(And who would listen to him, anyway?)
[Stupid people.]
(REALLY stupid people.)

"This is it. Let's go." Kyoros said. "But, I got a bad feelin' about this!! A BAAAD feeling!! As in BAD." Botuna exclaimed.

(.. We got it.)
[Just move out already so we can get this chapter over with.]
(I agree whole-heartedly.)

"Well we're moving out anyway." Kyoros said. "Fine, fine. But really, this place is freaky. .. And those rocks scare me." Botuna said.

(LAME.)

"Hey, are those Esthar soldiers?" Kyoros asked, pointing over behind some bushes. "... Looks like. They're still wearin' those flashy uniforms." Botuna stated.

"DA!" "Pwhee!" Two Esthar soldiers exclaimed, noticing the group.

[... do they have to make it so obvious?]
(I think they're just bad actors.)

Then, some weird midi started playing!

"... Err... eh?" Botuna blinked.

[That's the battle theme! No videogame is complete without one!]
(... .... lame.)

"Um... kay..." Botuna blinked, getting out a supersoaker.

"... Are enemies allowed to run away no da?" Esthar Soldier #1 asked. "No, they're not." Verie grumbled from offstage. "But.. he has a super soaker!" Esthar Soldier #2 exclaimed. "... ... I'm still confused." Botuna sighed.

"... Fine. Enemies can escape, it's not a big occurance anyway." Verie sighed.

So the Esthar soldiers fled, and a weird victory midi started playing and Botuna, Serd, and Kyoros danced around.

"Wasn't our mission just to patrol?" Kyoros asked. "You all should've listened to me. But did you? NOOOO." Botuna said, when two more Esthar soldiers appeared.

"DA!" "PHWEE!"

(... .... how many times is this going to happen?)
[... I have no idea, where's the script?]
(You think I actually own a copy of the script? Who do you take me for?!)
[... .. fine then. Nevermind.]

"There's more?!" Koyoros exclaimed. "We'd better make a run for it." Botuna said. So the three fled, and so the Esthar soldiers danced around.

"Hey, why don't we get a victory midi no da?" Esthar Soldier #3 asked, while we had a convenient scene transition to where Botuna was at.

So Botuna found a key, and lost it. Like a moron. And then they blew up some rocks, which chased some Esthar soldiers.

"DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

... Yeah. .. .Um... right. And then they left, and there was a ridiculously huge amount of battled with Esthar soldiers.

"DA!" "... Not again." Botuna sighed.
"PHWEE!" "Hello."
"DA!" ".. This is getting repetitive."
"PHWEE!" "... I'm hungry...."
"DA!" ".. Ok, this is seriously getting old."
"PHWEE!" "... Censored this is seriously in the game?!"
"DA!" ".... STOP IIIIT!!!"

So the three actually managed to make it to the ocean, after many, many more fights with Esthar Soldiers, all of which said either "DA!" or "PHWEE!" ... .. for unknown reasons.

"They ocean!! We can escape to Galbadia!" Botuna exclaimed.

(I think I'd care more if I had some kind of clue about the geography of this world.)
[Same here.]

".. Gurgle." Serd... not-quite-said. "Eh?" Botuna asked. "I think his throat was injured.. he lost his voice." Kyoros said.

(... I find it kinda lame they just now notice his throat's injured.)
["Hey, look, he's bleeding profusely from the neck!" .. Yeah, I'm inclined to agree.]
(hehe...)

"It.. wa-" Serd started his dramatic last words.
"HEY LOOK A BOAT! We're gettin' on it!" Botuna exclaimed, pushing Serd off the cliff.

(... .... that's just sad.)

".. He didn't get to say his dramatic last words..." Kyoros blinked, just before Botuna pushed him off the cliff too.

".. Wow.. you guys sure have guts. You know how high this cliff is?" Botuna said, attempting to climb down the cliff, but slipping and falling anyway.

(... ... idiot.)

And then, Brad, Totophie and Ayastis woke up.

"Was it Botuna again?" Kell asked.
"Sir Botuna's in trouble!!! I hope he's ok!!" Totophie whimpered.
"I'm guessing this has happened before?" Ayastis asked.
"Yep." Kell said.
"We'll be wasting our time trying to figure out. We've got a plot to advance. Let's keep going." Brad stated.
"Yeah! Let's go! We're almost to the end of Disc one!!" Kell exclaimed.
"Erm.. Brad? I think-" Ominoa started, but Brad, Kell and Ayastis were already running in the direction of Galbadia Garden in an attempt to get this chapter over with.
"... Fine then, skip my *ONE* line in the entire chapter!!!" Ominoa exclaimed, following them.

Author Notes:

Verie: ah.. ha... sorry for no updating. But really, the SCOURGE OF ALL THINGS GOOD is driving us all insane in a bad way. >.;; seriously. I had a breakdown during English, and our friend Matt had one during Spanish. And it's just a matter of time before it happens to Shinigami, from my observations on Monday during lunch.

But I should feel better soon. Sorry for the over-all crappiness of this chapter, I haven't completely recovered but I wanted to update. And this part of FF8 isn't all that great anyway. Only one more part and we'll be done with Disc One!! BE HAPPY!! And Yohji, Farf, and Nagi are coming back, too. ^-^
