Chapter 2: The Hair Colors of Our Cast!
At Paul's house, Joshua was on the floor unconscious. His eyes started opening and they started making out some blurry images of some people around him.
A blonde haired thief jumped up from behind a couch and yelled, "Alright he's waking up!"
"How can you tell?" said, the green haired girl standing next to him. She tilted her head to the side.
The thief replied by saying, "Well, the screen was all black when the story started. Then it became all blurry, so you could tell he was waking up." The man nodded. "Yeah, that makes sense."
"This isn't TV, idiot…" remarked a mage right next to him.
Paul popped out of nowhere from the bottom of the screen. "Wait, "Wait, why are we describing the cast members by talking about their hair colors and classes? We should reveal the cast once his eyes arent blurry anymore."
Everyone looked towards the blurry screen/Joshua (i.e. we're looking through Joshua's blurry eyes).
The other female, a blonde haired woman nodded. "Yup. Screen is still blurry."
"GOD, can't we just like… throw water on him or something?" The annoyed blue haired Pegasus knight exasperated.
A certain monk popped out from behind the other couch across the room.
"Is he awake yet?" he said tilting his head to the side.
Paul looked at all of them and then said, "Do you guys think the readers can tell who you guys are just because your saying your hair colors!"
They all looked at each other and nodded. Suddenly, the screen finally cleared up (i.e. Joshua's vision was normal again).
Joshua put his hand on his forehead and groaned, "Ugh… where am I…" Joshua felt for his money pouch. "Ah my money pouch…my good old pal..." Joshua lifted it and jingled it in front of his face. It made no sound. "Huh?" Joshua got up, turned the bag upside down and tried emptying the gold in the bag, except there was no gold.
"HEY! Where's my money!" Joshua looked around.
The blonde haired thief whistled innocently.
"You!…… Person that I don't know!" Joshua pointed threateningly at him.
"Who me?" the thief pointed at himself.
"Yes you! You stole my money! I just know it!" Joshua yelled.
The blonde haired man broke out into so "Who me?" He points at himself. "Yes me." nodded the thief. "Couldn't be." He said shaking his head. "Then who?" he raised his eyebrow.
Everyone stared at him blankly.
The man groaned. "Yeah it was me." He tosses the bag of gold at Joshua.
"Hmph." Said Joshua.
"Hellooooo!" Paul waved at Joshua. "Is it me, or are the other cast members being ignored?"
Joshua looked at everyone. "Oh yeah." Joshua thought for a moment. "Oh yeah! I remember now! We were at Random Inn in Magvel No.17 and you used the CHROME STAFF OF DIMENSIONS-"
The blonde haired thief popped out from the side of the screen and added, "+1!"
Joshua continued, "-to bring us to the real world!"
Paul went in to the Joshua thinking pose and said, "Oh yeaaaaah! And the plot holes and the staff, and the random arguments- yeah now I remember!"
The green haired girl interrupted, "Uh, are we going to introduce the cast now? I don't really like being referred to as "The green haired girl."
"Oh right." Said Paul. "Okay, everyone! We're now in Glendale Heights, Illinois!"
Joshua raised his eyebrow. "Okay…"
"Okay, time for introductions!" Paul started pointing out everyone and introduced everyone to each other.
Rebecca threw her arms in the air. "Yay! I'm not "the green haired girl" anymore!"
Matthew popped out of the side of the screen. "And I'm not the "blonde haired thief!" Matthew ducked back into the side of the screen.
Erk looked around. "So… do I really have to live with these people…"
"Of course, Erk!" stated Luciuis. "Everyone's gonna be like... ROOMIES now!"
Natasha blinked. "So… what now?"
Farina shrugged. "I dunno…"
Paul went into Joshua's thinking pose. He thought for a moment and then said "Well, I know! Let's all go out!"
Everyone got into Paul's van.
"Ooo," said Matthew as he looked around the van and it's compartments and buttons. "What does this button do?"
Paul tried to stop the thief. "No! Stop! Don't touch that!"
Matthew had already pushed the button, causing the car to do hydraulic movements.
Natasha held onto her stomach. "I think I'm going to throw up..."
Paul tried to push the button as the car did its hydraulics. It took him some effort, but he deactivated it.
Erk raised his eyebrow and said to Paul, "Uh, aren't YOU too young to drive?"
Paul laughed maniacally. "Silly Erk, that is where the power of forging is for!" Paul took out a stolen license and the picture transformed into a picture of Paul.
"Woah!" said Rebecca in amazement. "How'd you do that?"
Paul thought in the Joshua thinking pose once more. "Dunno. Plot hole." Paul shrugged.
"AGAIN with the plot holes," sighed Joshua.
Paul drove the van to Stratford Square Mall. They walked through the Marshall fields which lead to the Mall's fountain square.
Matthew looked around amazed. "Woah! Where are we!"
Lucius looked at some of the passing people. "And why do they have bags full of cool and totally useless stuff?"
Paul answered, "This my friends, is what we call a "Mall!"
"The Maaaaall!" said the random announcer.
Joshua ignored the announcer. "So what do people do here?" Joshua raised his eyebrow.
Paul thought of a reply for a moment. Then he said, "Well, you shop here for anything! House appliances, clothing, video games, and other cool and totally useless stuff! So where to first guys?…... guys?" Paul looked around to find out that the group had walked off.
"Oh MAN! I hate it when that happens!" snapped Paul.
Elsewhere in the mall…
Farina walked through the mall glancing off at the random stores. Joshua tagged along after her.
Farina turned around and started a conversation with Joshua. "Wow! This place is so huge! And it has so many cool places!"
"I know! And check it out!" Joshua showed her a piece of bread that was tied up in a weird form.
Farina raised her eyebrow. "What's that?"
Joshua, "I don't know… a "pretzel or something…" Joshua took a bite out of it. "And it tastes really salty!"
Farina looked at his pretzel. "What amazes me is how they get it into THAT shape."
The two pondered idiotically.
Two girls named Gianna and Rona passed by. They saw the two in their medeival cloths.
Gianna started whispering to Rona, "Oh my god, look at their CLOTHS. They look like some guys from one of those nerd conventions!"
"Yeah I KNOW!" commented Rona.
"Let's have some fun with this…" Gianna said evilly. The two girls walked up to Farina and Joshua.
Joshua looked at the two with the pretzel in his mouth. "Camph fi felp foo?" (Try translating that)
Gianna acted innocently, "No, nothing. Nothing at all."
Rona went right to the point and asked, "So where did you get those freaky cloths?"
"Yeah, did you raid some sort of nerd convention?" The two girls laughed.
Joshua thought for a moment and replied while finishing his pretzel, "Mo, fi fot fem from feh focal armphary fin Fagfil." (the translations are at the end of the story)
Farina elbowed Joshua. "They're making fun of us IDIOT!"
Joshua blinked. "Oh."
Gianna and Rona walked away laughing.
Farina's eye twitched. She said, "I want to kill those two SO badly…...… Well… what do we do?"
Joshua pointed at the Abercrombie store. "I know! Let's go buy some new cloths so people won't make fun of us anymore!"
Farina punched the air. "A plan is MADE!" The two ran into the store.
Elsewhere at Hot Topic.…
Natasha looked in the mirror at the clothes she was wearing. She was wearing a white sleeveless shirt and pair of tight blue jeans.
"I look VERY sexy." Thought Natasha.
Rebecca came out of her dressing room. She had a tight purple chemise on with a tight black short-sleeved shirt right under it. On each of her wrists she wore spiked bracelets. She had also gotten some ear piercings. She had three pierces on each ear and one on her left eyebrow. Rebecca was also wearing a spiked choker. Her green hair was tied into two pony-tails which went down her back. She wore a pair of black boots that almost reached her knees.
Natasha looked wide-eyed at Rebecca in her new outfit. "WOAH."
"Like my new look?" said Rebecca. "I'm punk now!" Rebecca made the rock and roll hand sign with her hand, her index finger, pinky, and thumb sticking up and her forefinger and middle finger curled into her hand.
Natasha stated in shock, "Where'd you get ALL of those PIERCINGS?"
Rebecca pointed at the front of the store. "I got em up front while you were changing! And check it out!" Rebecca opened her mouth revealing a tongue piercing.
The cleric stared at the girl. "You look like you just went through a sewing machine!"
"But, you gotta admit, I look SEXY don't I?" added Rebecca.
An awkward silence followed.
"Yeah you DO!" said Natasha enthusiastically.
"Onward! To the music store!" Rebecca pointed out of the entrance of the Hot Topic.
Meanwhile with the others…
Erk was sitting down in the Walden Book store reading a book he picked off the shelf. Lucius was wandering around the book store and Matthew was…… somewhere in the store...… yeah… somewhere….
A female store clerk walked up to Erk, who was sitting down reading.
"Uh sir? You've been here quite a while. This store is for BUYING books not reading them." Stated the clerk.
Erk ignored the clerk and kept reading.
"Sir? Can you hear me?" she asked.
Erk looked up. "Oh I heard you. I just didn't care." Erk looked back down at his book.
SLAP.
The clerk walked off fuming back to the desk.
Erk rubbed his cheek. "I guess I deserved that." Muttered Erk.
Lucius came up to Erk and looked at his cheek. "Looks like you've been having fun."
"Loads." Erk rolled his eyes.
Lucius looked around. "Hey where'd Matthew go?"
Erk pointed in one direction.
Lucius walked off in the direction Erk pointed to the "Graphic Novels" section. When he got there Matthew was sitting down cross legged with a stack of books next to him.
"Hey Matthew, whatcha doing?" asked Lucius.
"Just reading these books with pictures. These are SO much better then the books Erk read! It shows words but they also have PICTURES!"
The puzzled monk tilted his head to the side. "Then isn't it a picture book?"
"Sort of, except there are panels. And it shows the characters doing their actions with the words in a little cloud above them! Plus it's not a little kid's picture book!" Matthew looked up at Lucius. "So, did you find anything to read?"
Lucius sighed, "No…… I'm so bored….. doing...what was I doing again?" thought Lucius.
The thief pointed at the girly magazines section. "What about there? Those books seem PERFECT for you."
Lucius turned around and walked to the magazines across of Matthew. "Oh come on," said Lucius while he walked, "What can I possibly find in some magazines-" Lucius looked at one of the magazines. "-Ooooo." Lucius opens up a girly magazine and starts flipping through it.
"Told you they were perfect for you!" shouted Matthew from right across.
Somewhere else…
Paul looked around and ran into random stores.
"Damn it! Where are they!" Paul thought to himself. Paul started talking to himself. "You bring some video game characters in the real world and CHAOS ensues. Well, now I gotta find them or else something bad might happen- hey look! It's a GameStop!" Paul ran into the game store to ask if Kingdom Hearts 2 comes out tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. It comes out the day after tomorrow.
Ah, finally a long chapter. Made it long to make up for not updating in a while. Oh, and Kingdom Hearts 2 ships tomorrow and starts selling on Wednesday. I'm so excited! Oh, the translations. "Camph fi felp foo" meant "Can I help you" and "Mo, fi fot fem from feh focal armphary fin Fagfil" meant "No, I got them from the local amory in Magval. Well, remember to review!
