((I don't own teh RO, don't sue me Gravity. D: But I bet some random GM's all like, 'omfgz, ro fanfiction not known by gravety!11! SUUUUEEE!!1)
Takeshi had finally caught up to the Novice so that he could see him. The other Novice looked behind him, and was surprised to see Takeshi. He pulled down his bottom eyelid and stuck his tongue out.
This set Takeshi off more, and he ran faster to catch up to the Thieving Novice. You'd better like pain... Takeshi was thinking of different methods of torture as he caught up to the Novice.
Takeshi was only a few more feet away from the Novice so he dived and tackled him down. 'Oof!' The loot slipped out of the Novice's hand and went flying a few feet away from them as he was tackled down.
Takeshi got up and scrambled towards his bag and made a quick grab for it. He rummaged through his bag to see if everything was where he left it. Takeshi looked up about to ask why the Novice had robbed him, only to find that the Novice was slowly crawling away.
'Grrr..' He grabbed the Dagger out of his bag, and nailed the Novice's pants to the ground. The Novice looked back, 'Hey-!', but he felt a tap on his shoulder and turned his head back around only to find an angry Takeshi.
The Novice's eyes grew big and watery, as if he was about to cry. Takeshi looked at him strangely, 'Hey don't cr-', but it was too late, the waterworks had already begun. Takeshi was suddenly reminded of anime. Oh boy.. what do I do now?
'H-hey! Act your friggin' age! How old are you, like, 16?' No answer, the waterworks kept going. 'Grrr..' At this point Takeshi was getting impatient with the other Novice. He smacked the other Novice in the head, and that seemed to do the trick.
'Owwww...!' The Novice grabbed the Dagger with his right hand and pulled it out. He sat up, and rubbed the back of his head. 'That hurt! What was that for?' He tossed the Dagger back to Takeshi, which he fumbled. What was it for? What was it for!? 'What do you mean what was it for? What WOULDN'T it be for?' The Novice scratched his head confused. 'Hum.. I dunno. What did I do wrong?' Takeshi smacked his face with his hand. 'You're not exactly the brightest star in the sky are you?', he mumbled in his hand.
He pushed his hair back, 'Okay, let's start with some questions.' 'Okay!' The Novice said happily. 'How old are you? 16?' 'Humm...' The Novice counted his fingers. '12.. 13.. 14.. 15.. 16.. 17- No, wait, yeah! I'm 16.' The Novice grinned, proud of his accomplishment to figure out his age and give the correct answer to the first question.
Takeshi groaned. 'What's with the waterworks then? You make other 16 year olds, like me-', he added quietly, '-look bad.' 'Me inner child is 6.' '...What?' 'Me. Inner. Child. Is. 6.' 'Y-your inner child!?' 'Aye. Me inner child.' 'O-okay, nevermind.. next question. Why the freak did you rob me?'
'Oh! That's an easy one. Ye sees, I been wantin' to be a Thief for a reeeeaaal looooong time.' He stretched his arms out to emphasize, 'long time'. 'Sos, I been robbin' peoples, ye'know, just small robberies, like, ye'knows, um... I rob adventurers of their zennies and stuffs. Sos, I'm reeeeaaals good at Thievery and stuffs. Sos, I went to the Thieves' guild and asked them if I could be a Thief. They says, 'Nope.' Takeshi was nodding in sync with every word the Novice had been speaking. 'And I says, 'Why?' And they says, 'Ye're not good enough.' And I asks, 'Why? I been a reeeeeaals good Thief. Me stealin' skills are top notch!' And they says, 'We know, we've seen yer record, but ye see, ye don't have any fightin' experience.' And I says, 'What do I have to with fightin' experience? Thieves steal, not fight.' And they says, 'True, but what happens if ye get caught?' And I says, 'I run away, o' course.' And they says, 'What happens if ye get trapped with nowhere to run?' And I says, 'I be usin' me Cloakin' skills.' And they says, 'Only Assassins know how to do that, and to become an Assassin, you need fightin' experience'
Sos, here I am, stealin' from ye.' Takeshi nodded, and then shook his head. 'Wait, wait, wait! What's you wanting to be an Assassin got to do with robbing me!?' 'Ohhh, I didn't explain that part did I? Well, you sees they didn't gimme any zeny or stuffs to start out with. Sos, I be thinkin', 'Maybe I'll practice me Thievery and steal some equipments, and here I ams.'
'Okay, that makes more sense...' 'Wanna party with me?' 'Huh?! That was completely random..' 'I knows, but ye sees, I wanna make it up to ye by partyin' with ye, and helpin' ye.' '...Why do you talk like that?' 'Huh? Oh, that, it's me inner child talkin'.' '..O..kay.. I guess we could travel together..' 'Yay!', The Novice cheered and threw his arms up in the air.
'What're ye gonna be?' 'A.. Swordsman I guess.' 'Oooo, goodie! Guess what I'm gonna be?' At this point Takeshi let out a long sigh. 'Ooo, a toughie. Lemme guess. A Thief?' You could smell the sarcasm in the air. 'Wow, ye must be a psychic or somethins'.' 'You're faking it.' 'Huh?' The Novice scratched his head in confusion. 'Your weird.. pirate accent thing.' 'Why do ye think that?' 'Well, before when you stole from me, you didn't talk like that.'
'Well, ye sees, I'm not fakin' this. I faked that one befores.' 'I.. see.. Well, what's your name?' 'Kaze!' 'Okay, Kaze.. My name's-' Takeshi started to debate in his head whether he should tell his real name, or his alias on RO. Well... I might as well go with 'Takeshi' right? I've already used it... 'Soooo? What's yer name stranger?' 'Oh!' Takeshi snapped back into reality, 'My name's Takeshi.'
'Hiya Takeshi-kuuuun.' What's up with this world and reminded me of anime..? 'Um.. yeah. Shouldn't we head to an Inn or something? It's getting pretty dark, and I wouldn't mind a bite to eat..' 'Ooo, ooo, wait! I wanna show you somethin'.' Kaze got up and walked towards a Poring, motioning for Takeshi to come too. 'C'mooooon', Kaze whined. 'I'm coming..' Takeshi got up and walked towards Kaze, curious as to see what he wants to show him. 'Look, look.' His hand snapped out towards the Poring in a swift motion. Takeshi tilted his head to the side, wondering what was in Kaze's hand, and wondering what he had just done. Kaze had a big grin on his face, from what Takeshi could make out in the dark, and opened his fist. Inside it was an Unripe Apple.
'! Wow, that was your stealing in action, huh?' 'Yeah, yeah! I'm reals good at Stealin's stuffs.' 'Should we get going to the Prontera Inn?' 'Sure, sure! Ye'know where it is right?' 'Yep.' And so, they began their walk to Prontera, with Takeshi leading, and Kaze happily skipping behind him.
They had finally made it to the busy, capital of Midgard, Prontera. 'Wooooow, there's so many people! And they have so much.. stuffs..!' 'Oi, oi,oi! You better not be thinking what I think you're thinking..' 'Huh? O' course not Takeshi-kun, I be good for tonight.' Takeshi sighed. Tonight? What about tomorrow?
'I need to sell some stuff, I don't really have any zeny to buy rooms for tonight.. Maybe you should try selling that apple, we might be able to get some cash from it..' 'Aye Takeshi-kun!' And so, Takeshi walked towards the center of the city where all the shops were located, while Kaze ran around advertising the Unripe Apple, and it's 'magical ability to breed one million Poring.
'Hmmm.. I know the Tool shop is around here somewhere.' Takeshi was tossing a jellopy up and down while looking around Prontera. He finally noticed a bunch of Merchants selling Potions in front of a shop. 'Ah! I bet that's the Tool Shop!' He ran towards the Tool Shop, and shoved past all the Merchants, and walked into the store. He looked around and saw the girl running the Tool Shop. 'Hi, um, miss, could I, er.. sell you these items?' He wasn't sure how to sell NPC items in real life, considering that all he had to do before was click buttons.
She smiled and nodded. 'Sure, what would you like to sell?' He placed his bag of monster loot on the table. 'Just some Jellopies and things..' 'Sure, just let me figure the math out...' Takeshi nodded. 'And it all comes down to 1,000 zeny.' The Tool Dealer placed a bag of zeny on the counter. Takeshi grabbed the zeny and stashed it into this bag. 'Thanks much miss.' He waved and walked out of the store.
'Hmm.. where were we s'pose to meet again..?' There was a long pause as Takeshi added it up all in his head. He slapped his forehead, 'CRAP! I forgot to set up a meeting place! Dammit!' Several people looked at him funny as he swore out loud. 'Eheh... Sorry, carry on?' He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, and started walking back to the entrance of Prontera.
'Mmm.. dammit, dammit, dammit!' Takeshi swore silently. Maybe I should call Kaze, he might come. 'KAZEEEEEE! WHERE ARE YOU? CAN YOU COME TO THE ENTRANCE OF PRONTERA!?' The only thing that made it's way to Takeshi was more strange looks. 'Ahaha..' He laughed nervously and walked away from all the looks. 'Maybe Kaze went back to the hotel? Yeah, that's it.' He started walking to the hotel, which in the game was also the PvP building. Why would a hotel be a PvP building? He chuckled at the thought of unconcious people in front of a hotel. But, surprise, surprise. 'Oh. My. God.' There was a line of passed out Knights, Priests, Hunters, almost every class in front of the hotel. 'Geez...' He pushed the door open, and asked the person at the desk if there was a blonde hair boy staying here. The clerk shook his head. 'I see... Well, could I have a room with two beds..?' The clerk nodded, and Takeshi placed a bag of zeny on the table. The clerk pointed up at the stairs and gave directions to their room, Takeshi nodded, and made his way up the stairs.
He placed his bag at the bottom of the bed and plopped down on the bed. Last time I was in a bed, it was back at home.. He turned onto his side, and passed out for a little bit.
Meanwhile, Kaze was happily walking around Prontera tossing a huge bag of zeny up and down. 'Suckeeers!', he sang. 'Hm, I wonder where Takeshi-kun is? ...Ahhhhh!! I'm lost! Takeshi-kun didn't tell me where to meet hiiiim!' He sat down where he was, and thought about it a little and whimpered like a lost child. And he, like Takeshi, got many, many strange looks, but Kaze beat him in the category for, 'Most Amount of Strange Looks in Less then 5 seconds'
And as Kaze was was figuring out the situation he was in, a huge figure towered over him.
((SUSPENSE! XD Review pleeeeaase. :D And if you noticed the part where Kaze was talking about the Thief guild, and stuff, and how the Thief guild people talked like Kaze, they don't. It's just that, Kaze was talking and all, and.. yeah. XD;))
