Chapter 40- Masterthief

Time/ Exactly 2 Hours Later

Location/ Someplace Dark and Horrible

Nessert groaned and rolled over. So bored.

"Vessel! Are you done yet?"

Oh goody, Vessel looked up.

"But I wasn't doing anything I could be done with Nes'."

"Whatever."

Nicole blinked and looked back at the little laptop she was typing at. After the whole Siren incident happened, it sort of ended the day's activity. Ryou and Bakura were upstairs setting up a Monster World board and Nessert was staring aimlessly up at the ceiling, complaining often.

"What are you doing, anyway?"

"I'm talking to the rest of the gang."

The spirit snorted.

"Like they could all fit in there!"

Nicole rolled her eyes.

"Do I have to explain the internet to you again?"

"No, I remember. That's how you met Andro."

"Congratulations. I thought you were losing your memory."

"Shut up Vessel."

Nicole turned back to her screen.

-Abyssal Lord says: Hallo? What's up?-

-Hrw Yw Chm says: Nes' is being dumb again…-

-HaLo RlZ says: She's normally not?-

-Hrw Yw Chm says: Hey! No dissing the crazy dark spirit!-

-Grey Wolf says: Aw, Heathy shouldn't be mean to Nezzy!-

-Abyssal Lord says: …-

-Masterthief has joined the conversation-

-Masterthief says: hey! i've heard we have a newb-

-Abyssal Lord says: YES! MALE COMPANY! THANK YOU FOR NOT HAVING ESTROGEN!-

-Masterthief says: …. (backs away slowly)-

-Hrw Yw Chm says: You were saying, Andy'…. (dangerous glare)-

HaLo RlZ says: (cracks knuckles)-

-Abyssal Lord says: Erm… I mean… hallo! (duck and cover)-

-Grey Wolf says: Yay! Rusus!-

-Hrw Yw Chm says: I thought you were in Europe-land-

-Masterthief says: Er, well, I am.-

-HaLo RlZ says: Dude, its called a wireless connection.-

-Abyssal Lord says: How goes the hunt?-

-Masterthief says: Not so great. You have to realize that ANCIENT MAGICAL ARTIFACTS ARE NOT THAT EASY TO 'BORROW'-

-Hrw Yw Chm says: Says you. You've got a half-rate thief in your head.-

-Masterthief says: Hey, I may be younger, but I'm certainly better than your third-rate pickpocket-

-Grey Wolf says: Hey! Friends don't argue!-

-Masterthief says: Bugger off, werechild.-

-Abyssal Lord says: NO PICKING ON THE YOUNGONE!-

-Masterthief says: I apologize of Jack's actions.-

-Hrw Yw Chm says: No offense taken. You really need to put a leash on your Alter.-

-HaLo RlZ says: Oh! DISS!-

-Grey Wolf says: Didja fix the ghostie problem?-

-Hrw Yw Chm says: maybe…-

-Abyssal Lord says: …-

-Masterthief says: …-

-Abyssal Lord says: Haven't you learned by now? The dead aren't to be trusted. Especially if they're damned.-

-HaLo RlZ says: Just don't let Nessert hear you say that (sly grin)-
