Chapter Two: Blue team
Blue team members: Regis, Pippin, Fred, Misao, Zelgadis, and Yami Bakura.
The blue team emerges from the basement into one of the mansions' game rooms, filled with pinball machines, car racing games, and any other video game you can think of.
Zel: *glances around* Hold on...Wasn't Lina's team right beside us? How'd we end up in totally different room?
Fred: *shrug* Who knows? Who cares? We've got Muggle games!! *Zooms over to one of the car racing games*
YB: *smirks as he sits in the one next to Fred's* I'll show you games...
Fred: *grin* Is that a challenge?
YB: You bet it is!! *The two proceed to go head to head in the car game*
Mis: *starts curiously and cautiously to prod the pinball machine closest to her* You sure these thing's aren't dangerous?
Reg: *stares at the pinball machine* I don't know...what d'you think it's worth?
Pip: From all the lights, I'd say it'd probably be pretty valuable.
Zel: *sweatdrop* Aren't we supposed to be looking for something? We -are- in the middle of a supposed scavenger hunt...
Mis: I don't think you should have anything to do with it, halflings!! I still say it looks dangerous...
Reg: *waves his hand* I've stolen- er...borrowed more dangerous things, I'm sure...Do you think they'd mind if I, ...ahem, "borrowed" one?
Pip: *looks around* It doesn't really look that way...look how many there are...
Fred: HA!!! I passed you ages ago! All that late-night driving/flying with George sure helped!
YB: *growl* Watch it, wizard, ... I'll get you yet...
Zel: *is being almost completely ignored while trying to get the attention of the rest of the group* Guys? Can't we start searching?
All rest: *continue with whatever they're doing*
Zel: *sighs then walks over and picks up the list, laying forgotten on the floor by Fred's seat and read* "1st item: Dress that Astro wore while in drag." *twitches slightly*
Mis: *reading over Zel's shoulder* How are we supposed to know which one that is? For all we know, this mansion could have a billion dresses, or this Astro guy, whoever he is, could e a cross-dresser!
Zel: ...Well, we may as well try...
Fred: Wait, what? I just got done kicking this guy's butt over here.
YB: *glare* *muttermuttermutter*
Zel: *sighs and hands the list to Fred*
Fred: *reads* A dress, huh? Well, were should w start looking?
YB& Mis: *shrug*
Zel: *rolls eyes* How about Astro's room?
YB: And where would that be, smart one?
Zel: *sighs and he points out the door of the game room across the hall at a door with a large sign that reads: "Astro's room!!! Enter at My Own Risk."*
YB:...Oh.
The group cautiously approaches the door after dragging Regis away from the pinball machine.
Reg: Wait!! No!! Don't you realize how much I could get for that back in Fearun?
YB: With all logic taken into account, there would be no possible way that you could haul that along with you.
Reg: Just...one...little...part!...Please? *Struggling against the iron hold of Fred*
Zel: *shakes head* We should get moving, so we don't fall behind...
Mis: Yeah, if we want to win the prize!
Reg: *stops struggling* There's...a prize?
Fred: *rolls eyes* Yeah, weren't you listening before?
Reg: Um...not really...
Zel: *sighs* Well, I think it's past due time to start...*opens door and braces himself for a huge bloody explosion* *opens one eye after nothing happens for a moment*
YB: *staring into the room* Hm...I was expecting better, or at least more interesting...
The room is surprisingly clean, with only a few dirty clothes lying in odd places in the room, a few pieces of furniture, and a closet.
Pip: Well, let's try the closet! *Takes a step into the room*
Mis: WAIT!!! Maybe we should check for-
*A large metal ball on a chain swings down and whizzes over Pippin's head, only resulting in slightly mussing up the hair on the top of his head*
Mis: -traps?
The rest of the group continues to watch as Pippin skips lightly across the room, unwittingly setting off every trap in the room.
All but Pip: *stare blankly*
Pip: *reaches closet* *turns around smiling* Come on guys!
Others: *sweatdrop* *daintily walk around the huge metal balls, knives and axes stuck in the floor, explosion crates, est. And approach the closet cautiously*
Reg: Well...Someone should open it...
Fred: *automatically* Not me!
Mis: Not me!
Zel: Not...me.
Reg: Not me!
Pip: Yay! Bandwagoning! Not me!!!
YB: Not-...Crap. *Glares at everyone before approaching the closet* *jerks the door open* See, there's nothing in here but-
*Is cut off by a shower of Puffskins landing on top of him*
Mis: All right! No traps! *Dives into the closet, throwing many random things out as she searches for the dress*
Fred: *staring down at the list* Hey! There was a clue!
Reg: And you didn't tell us?!
Fred: Well, we're in the right place...
Zel: Well, what does it say?
Fred: *reads*
When searching for something of Astro's,
Try in his room and it you'll find.
Though do beware of the puffskins,
For they will surely steal your mind.
Reg, Fred, and Zel: *all stare at the pile of Puffskins that is Yami Bakura*
Pip: He seemed crazy to me before, so I don't think we'll see much of a difference...
Mis: *emerges triumphant with a pink flowery dress* Found it!!
All but YB(still): *gather around the dress*
Fred: Are you sure it's the right one?
Mis: *points to the tag on the inside back that reads: "Dress that Astro wore in drag on Aug 19, 2002*
Zel: *sweatdrop* Do these people lable everything?
Reg: Well, if one of my companions dressed in a pink flowery dress, I'd want to remember it for the rest of my life!!! *Gets a vision of Wulfgar prancing in a frilly dress*
Fred: So...Now what?
YB: Sticks his head out of the pile and spits a puffskin out of his mouth*
*Suddenly, about half the puffskins start glowing blue and one floats up to eye level with Fred* *Sadie's voice starts coming from it*
Sadie's Voice: You have found your first item! Congrats! You shall all now be 'ported to the dimension to where you shall find your remaining items!!
*A portal appears at the foot of Astro's bed*
Sadie's Voice: Enjoy, and good luck!
All: *look at each other, shrug and step into the glowing portal*
