*Razor checked his cell phone for any new messages left on his voice mail while
he was gone. He didn't see any, and started to head back into the portal. He
couldn't help himself, though, and skated off down a street. He saw a slope of
grass, at the bottom there being a pathway with a fountain. Razor set himself
up, and did a 540 Flip down the grassy gap, landing near the fountain. Razor
turned just in time to miss the fountain, and he slowed down, sitting on it. He
looked back at the gap, and chuckled as he saw a bunch of skaters now looking
over the gap down at him, all of them cheering, most of them human. He saw one
of the humans skate back a little bit, and the people turned to see him. Razor
shook his head and got out of the way, soon after seeing one of the human
skaters attempt to ollie the grassy gap. Razor shook his head again.*
Razor *thinking*: He doesn't have enough
speed, he's gonna wipe.
*And he did. The skateboard got caught on a concrete curb that lined the bottom
of the hill, and the skater fell directly into the concrete lining the fountain,
hitting his head on the bottom of the fountain's basin, which was filled with
water. Razor looked over, and noticed the fellow wasn't moving. Razor ran over,
and saw all the other skaters come down as well. Razor picked the skater's head
out of the water, and pulled him off the fountain. The water was tinted
slightly red where the skater hit his head, and as Razor put the skater on
level ground, face up, he noticed that the skater's nose was bleeding. Razor
tilted the skater's head to one side, and Razor soon saw a human teen next to
him, and Razor looked over at her. He checked the human's pulse for a second,
and was grateful to find one readily.*
Razor: He should be okay, just give him room to breathe.
*Razor saw the teen readily back up, and after a few moments of awkward
silence, Razor heard a cough. The skater who tried the gap was waking up. The
skater looked over at Razor, and then at the teenage girl.*
Razor: You okay, man?
Skater: Yeah… I… Yeah… I'm okay…
*The skater sat up.*
Skater: Whoa…
Razor: What?
Skater: The sky just went in a circle, like, really fast.
*Razor pushed on the skater's chest, insisting that he lay back down.*
Razor: Just stay down there for a little bit longer.
*The skater nodded, and Razor stood up, hearing his phone ring as he did so.
Razor answered.*
Razor: Hello?
FTM: Razor, I took my rounds again. 411VM is interested in doing a video that
has all of the new pros. I got you a five-minute timeslot in the video if you
want it.
*Razor paused. Five minutes was not bad for a first video.*
Razor: Sure, when are they going to shoot me, and where?
FTM: I told them that you lived in Dallas,
and they are going to send a videographer there. Where are you at right now?
Razor: A fountain on Main Street,
near a McDonald's.
FTM: I think I know where you are talking about, and they said that's where he'll
probably be waiting for you.
Razor: Awesome.
FTM: Later.
Razor: Later.
*Razor hung up, and the skater on the ground looked at him.*
Skater: That explains a lot. I've never seen you before, though.
Razor: Makes sense… I've been a pro for… about a week and a half… *laughs* I
gotta go, later.
*Razor walked off, and headed back to the portal to the Cosmic Interstate. He
got there, and headed through the portal, back to the group.*
Kai: What kept you?
Razor: I saw somebody get knocked out, nothing big.
*Kai nodded, and the group headed off down the Cosmic Interstate.*
Location: Cosmic Interstate
Time: ???
*Razor was outside the portal to a dimension he knew: Pice.
Without hesitating, he and his friends headed through the portal, soon finding
themselves in a dimension that spoke of calm, though it also looked quite
developed.*
Location: Pice
Time: 7:00 PM
*Razor took only two or three steps before he felt something behind him. Kai
looked at him amusedly, and Razor slowly turned around to see a leopard, giving
him a hug. Razor chuckled, and hugged back.*
Razor: Hello…
Leopard: Hello, Roi, who are your
friends?
*Razor motioned to each of his friends as he spoke*: This is Sam, this is
Kai, and *Razor shook one of Sam's quills, revealing the fairy.* This is Aita.
*Aita waved, and the leopard had yet to let go of Razor. Razor looked at her
perplexedly.*
Leopard: I'm sorry,
I just... can't believe I'm so near a Valley.
*Razor chuckled.*
Leopard: Where's your family, Roi?
Razor: .........Deceased.
*The news hit the leopard hard, and she hugged him tighter.*
Leopard: Oh, Roi, I'm so sorry! When did
this happen?
Razor: Almost a year ago.
Sparks: Excuse me, but what the
hell did I miss?
Razor: Nothing really.
Leopard: Are you staying here long?
Razor: Spending the night, actually, where's the nearest hotel?
*The leopard gave Razor directions happily, and the group headed off toward the
hotel.*
