Rebellion the Third: Food for Thought
"CHOCOLATE CHIP!"
With that sudden outburst, Ruby sat up with her silver eyes glowing brightly as she eagerly looked around to find... no cookies, only three very surprised teammates looking at her with a sense of awe. Getting her surroundings back, she realized that she was back in the room with four beds that she and the others had awoken in, being placed in the bed once more though this time above the sheets.
"So... have a good... dream?" Yu Narukami asked awkwardly, trying to keep his composure steady.
"I... uh... didn't really dream anything," Ruby admitted with a blush. "H-How did we get back here?"
"Well for one thing, you and Hyde got knocked the hell out by whatever was in that Grimoire," Ragna told her bluntly. "For whatever reason I was fine, but Yu fell on his ass and almost fell unconscious."
"Oh... And then?"
"Then the Princess and Priest tell us after the fact that the Grimoire was going to sap most of our strength away to give us this power," he grumbled. "Didn't have any idea when you were going to wake up, so I carried you both back here. You two were out for at least an hour and a half."
"And I woke up just a few minutes before you did," Hyde decided to input to the conversation. "So... did anyone see that screen that came up?"
"Yeah, I did," Ruby admitted. "I think it gave my name, said my class was a Huntress-In-Training and I was... level one."
"Don't feel too bad; it said the same thing for me," Hyde admitted. "Well the level anyways, my class was called an EXS Adept... which I guess makes sense, I mean that was a force I used back in my home world."
"My screen appeared for a brief moment, but then vanished completely. It said my class was called The Fool," Yu said plainly. Noticing the amount of pity everyone was shooting his way, the youth sighed. "The Tarot Card that represents new a beginning and faith for the future, not an actual idiot."
"I-I wasn't implying anything," Ruby tried to defend herself nervously. "So what was yours called Ragna?"
"...CentralFiction," he told them darkly, hesitating to reveal it.
"What's that even mean?" Hyde asked. "Central Fiction? Almost sounds like a J-Pop band."
"It's something I was called a few times back home," Ragna admitted before crossing his arms and groaning. "Out of all of the titles... to be honest I've been called worse, but I can still think of plenty I'd rather go by. Also, my screen said I was level 10, not 1."
"You're serious? How did you get a higher level than we did?" Ruby demanded. "Were you really just that much stronger than us back in your home world?"
"If that were the case I doubt the rest of us would have been all put at level one," Yu Narukami said as he appeared to be deep in thought. "If they'd truly taken our past powers into account then I doubt that three of us would have started at the first level... in fact, I don't exactly feel like I'm at full power."
"I... have to agree," Hyde then input. "My power doesn't feel very strong itself, in fact I feel like I've been weakened pretty thoroughly... But that still doesn't explain why Ragna gets the special treatment."
"...Might have been that fight I got into with the soldiers," Ragna admitted, scratching the back of his head with slight guilt. Hyde and Ruby both gave Ragna skeptic glances, but then noticed Yu's more neutral reaction as the teen had already been told the news. "That's why I was taking this so much better than the rest of you... I'd already gone through all of the suspicious crap."
"But you managed to get nine levels be-" GROOOOAN. Ruby was halted in her words as her stomach let out a massive empty gurgle. The young woman gave a harsh blush at the sheer volume of her stomach before noticing the that Hyde and Yu also seemed to gripping their stomachs, apparently their hunger having finally caught up with them. "Right... I guess we haven't been able to enjoy an actual meal for a few days at least."
"And it's too late to ask the servants to cook anything for us," Hyde sighed. "Looks like we're going to sleep hungry tonight."
"Doesn't mean we can't cook anything ourselves," Ragna told them. "There's a decent enough kitchen down the halls that we can use. You all know how to cook right?"
"I've had to live on my own for a while now, so I know my way around the kitchen," Hyde told him. "Will they really let us use it though?"
"As long as we don't go too crazy in there I think we should be fine," Ragna told them. "I mean they've let me use it before and... well, I just hope that you three have more luck with it than I did."
"Can you not cook?" Yu asked him rather bluntly.
"No, back home I used to cook for myself all of the time and I made some damn good food," the Reaper told them with a strange sense of pride. "Here though, all of my food comes out... boring; not terrible or bland, just boring and hard to enjoy."
"I... don't get it," Ruby admitted before her stomach rumbled again. "But I guess boring food is better than no food. Let's see if we can use the kitchens and make something to eat; we can all try to pitch in."
"Like a team building exercise?" Yu asked as he thought back to his part experience with this type of activity. 'At least Chie, Yukiko, and Rise aren't here to force me to have their cooking; I don't think I could stand another run in with Mystery Food X.'
The four's walk to the kitchen was a short one, but at least Ragna didn't have to worry about any screaming maids (for once). A few soldiers did send a bit of a scowl his way as he passed them by, but Ruby noticed that he did his best to pay it no mind. Soon the four were in the kitchen with a few lanterns lit so that they could see what they were doing in order to prepare their food.
"Okay then, time to decide what dishes we're going to be making," Ruby said as she looked around the different ingredients. "Well I'm pretty good at baking, so I'll handle the bread!"
"There seem to be plenty of eggs," Yu observed as he looked as well. "Some cheese and easy spices too; I think I'll make each of us an omelet."
"Leave the vegetables to me; some tomatoes, some cucumbers, and some carrots... I'll try grilling them and seasoning them," Hyde said proudly.
"Guess that just leaves my dish," Ragna thought aloud as he looked over the ingredients. "Hmm... Let's keep this one simple; beef and potato stew."
The four then divided and began their work; cracking eggs, oiling vegetables, kneading bread, and cutting the beef into decent sized chunks. Each of them had worked their way around a kitchen before (though for Ragna, the wilderness had often been his kitchen). Fires were started, cheese was melted, food was properly spiced and heated, bread was baked, and stew was stirred. Before long three had a spread before them that looked very appealing... but...
"Is it just me, or is the smell... a little lacking?" Hyde asked, as slight grimace on his face as he looked over the food. "I... even tried to add extra spices to my food and it doesn't... smell. Not spicy or anything else."
"...Maybe it tastes better than it smells?" Ruby hoped aloud as every took a seat. No one took the first bite out of slight concern. "So... how should we do this?"
"We'll do it all at the same time and everyone will have a bite of their own dish; that's only fair, right?" Ragna suggested. No on could think of a better option so each of them held up a piece of food to their mouths. "Dig in..."
To everyone's relief no one immediately gagged at the taste of the food, but it didn't offer that much in taste to begin with. There was something there when you took a bite out of the dish, a bit of spice or a light and fluffy texture in the bread, but it faded quickly and you were stuck eating something without the flavor. It wasn't terrible, but it was still hard to eat from the pure lack of anything enjoyable.
"This is what I was afraid would happen," Ragna grunted as he put his spoon down and sighed.
"And we have to eat all of this," Ruby moaned. "I think I'm going to feel depressed by the end of this..."
'My omelet... it's nearly as tasteless as Chie's,' Yu thought darkly to himself.
"If the food I cooked came out like this every time, I'd have started eating fast food months ago," Hyde said with a groan. "Maybe the food will taste better with good conversation?"
"Somehow I doubt it," Ragna groaned as he tried taking another bite of his stew, flinching at this blandness. "Though I guess I'm willing to try anything... So, what to start with?"
"...Maybe we can get these new powers figured out," Ruby suggested. "I mean the Princess and that priest will probably teach us tomorrow, but maybe we can try ourselves and get the hang of them early. Where do we need to begin?"
"If anything, I'd say we'd need to see that screen again," Yu said as he appeared deep in thought. "Ragna and I only saw ours for a few brief seconds, so how would we be able to view them again?"
"I dunno..." Ruby admitted. "Maybe you just need to imagine it and-" As soon as she'd spoken, the familiar crimson red bordered screen appeared before her once more. "Whoa! Guys! It works!"
"A...Are you sure?" Ragna questioned as he looked over her way. "I don't see any-" Ruby didn't notice anything change with Ragna, but the Reaper visibly flinched. "Holy hell; there's mine..."
"Mine came up too," Yu added. "I guess all you really needed to do was imagine it."
"And I can see mine, but for whatever reason I can't see any of yours," Hyde said. "So, just to confirm... let's all say what we're seeing."
"Okay... so on my left there's a few boxes with words filled with them. The one highest up says 'Equipment' and the one directly below that is 'Items.' The right there's a small box with with my name, my class, and my level. It also has a section to keep track of gold, but it says that I don't have any right now."
"That's what I'm seeing too," Hyde agreed. "I'm also seeing something that says 'Spring' and I'm assuming that's the Season that we're in. Underneath that is the time which says... 23:30?"
"Meaning it's 11:30 at night," Yu explained as he looked at the time. "I don't like using military time though, maybe I could-?" As soon as the silver haired youth started speaking he seemed to pause as he looked at the menu. "Okay... now it reads 11:30 PM."
"Meaning you managed to change it with just at thought," Ragna concluded before staying silent for a moment. It was then that a screen looking very similar to Ruby's appeared before him, save that his border was a deep azure blue. "Can anyone else see my screen now?"
"I can..." Yu said before a screen appeared before him; his appearing to have a gray border. "And there should be mine."
"Yep, and I'm trying to bring mine up too," Hyde said as his yellow border menu appeared. He gave a somewhat happy smile. "Cool, now this means that we can play around with our menus a little. So now what?"
"Let's look at our equipment and see what we've got equipped on us," Ruby said as she looked through her equipment and made her screen visible (she assumed). "Let's see... it say I have my Crescent Rose gun-scythe on me for my weapon and my clothes for armor"
"Sorry, gun-what?" Ragna interrupted, staring at Ruby in awe.
"Oh right, you guys have never seen it yet," Ruby told him with a smile as she grabbed the hunk of metal on her back. Everyone watched with surprise as it turned into a scythe. "And yes, it does fire bullets," she told her three shocked team mates with a flirty smirk.
"...Good for you," Ragna told her passively, looking wistfully behind him almost like he was expecting to see something there. Shaking his head, he returned his attention back to his screen. "Looks like I'm unarmed at the moment, but what about you two?"
"I've got my sword at my side and my school clothes," Yu told them.
"And I've got mine... though I'll show it to you later," Hyde explained, liking the idea of having something to show off to the others later. "Nothing under items though."
"Yeah, I'm emptied out too," Ruby admitted before she looked to the other box. "Oh, this sounds interesting; Class Details." Using her mind, she entered the sub-menu and looked over the new information. "...Looks like I've got stats. Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Magic, Spirit, and Luck."
"Yeah, so do I," Yu said in agreement. "According to the description, Strength effects your physical attack power, Dexterity increases movement speed, Constitution affects your defenses and protection from physical ailments, Magic increases your... magic, Spirit is for healing spells and magic defense, and Luck seems to influences a variety of things. All six of my stats are at ten, but it says I have six Stat Points to assign, meaning I can increase them."
"My stats are a little more varied," Hyde told them. "I've got 12 Strength, 11 Dexterity, 7 Constitution, 13 Magic, 7 Spirit, and 10 luck. So mine total sixty and I've also got 6 Stat Points."
"Hee, I think my stats are perfect for me," Ruby said with a smile. "Only an 8 Strength, but my 16 Dexterity more than makes up for it. I've also got a 7 Constitution, 8 Magic, 9 Spirit, and 10 Luck. Oh, and 6 Stat Points."
"So we've all got a sixty stat total, a 10 Luck, and 6 stat points to spend," Yu agreed. "That just leaves Ragna who's at level 10 so his stats should be a little higher than ours."
"..." The Reaper didn't speak, he just continued to have a long and depressing stare at the menu before him. He stayed like this for a good two minutes before the other three decided they'd check his screen to see what he was observing. What they saw defied any explanation.
Strength: 50
Dexterity: 50
Constitution: 40
Magic: 10
Spirit: 10
Luck: -100
Stat Points: 60
"...What was that you were saying about everyone having a 10 Luck stat?" Ruby asked as everyone else stared silently at the screen, much the same way Ragna had been doing earlier. "I'm no master of how this world works, but I Ragna just broke the system." 'Jeeze, Uncle Qrow's bad luck semblance is nothing compared to this guy's natural one...'
"I was almost expecting something like this," Ragna admitted sadly as he started doing the math in his head. "Odd thing though; I still technically total 60 in my stats..."
"Must be because you haven't assigned any stat points," Hyde guessed. "But... maybe if you put some of those into Luck, you won't have to suffer through this with that low of a stat."
"It couldn't hurt..." Ragna guessed as he entered the Apply stat points sub-selection and willed his stat points into Luck, only to watch as a anotherscreen came up saying 'Unable to apply stat points to Luck stat due to class restrictions.' "OH COME ON!"
"Sad to say, I think we've found our front line fighter," Ruby said as she patted Ragna's back in a strange form of comfort.
"Sorry you've got to go through with this," Hyde too apologized.
"At least your bigger body makes you a more effective shield," Yu told him bluntly, causing Ruby and Hyde to glare at him.
"Why me...?" the Reaper groaned as he slumped his head.
"H-Hey, don't worry too much," Hyde said, trying to figure something out. "You know, back it some of the games that I play, the only thing Luck influences is the frequency you hit something with a critical and the loot that monsters drop, you'll probably be a force to reckoned with in most battles."
"I mean, you were able to take out all of those guards, weren't you?" Yu suggested, remembering what Ragna had done when he'd woken up before him.
"So buck up! Things might not look great, but we're counting on you," Ruby said trying to cheer him up. "Three or your stats are more than double than any of ours, you'll become one of our strongest members."
"...Guess I can't bitch about it," Ragna groaned. "Still, a negative hundred Luck... what are the chances?"
"I'm not saying that I understand it, but we'll have to work with it," Hyde told him. As he looked over a subsections under Class Details. They were Special, Magic, and Enhancements. "Looks like I've got got my Black Void and Vacant Shift techniques, but that's about it. Nothing under Magic, but I've got a technique under Enhancements called... Immortal Slayer? It say's I'll deal damage to any enemy I hit with a sword, even if they block it. And it can easily cut through most weaker defenses... Nice."
"Cleave under Specials and Zio under Magic, but it looks like I can only use them through..." Yu noted calmly. "Well I've also go a technique under Enhancements, this one lets me regenerate my... So what do you guys have?"
"WHY AREN'T YOU TELLING US ANYTHING!?" Ruby scolded as Yu merely continued to ignore her and look over his menu.
"Leave him be, he just wants to act cool and mysterious," Hyde said. 'Come to think of it, everyone except for Ruby seem to be trying that one way or another.' Hyde's eyes then landed on Ragna. 'Him especially.'
"So, you've got abilities too Ruby?" the oldest of the group asked. Ruby nodded before looking under her techniques.
"Lets see... nothing under magic, but I've got two techniques. My Speed Semblance which lets me move at super speed, and I've got... Silver Glare? What the-?"
"I take it this is a new one for you," Ragna guessed as he looked over Ruby's shoulder. "Does it say what it does?"
"...Apparently I can... use the Silver Eyes?" she thought looking over the list. "It says I can stun an enemy and use it to interrupt an attack. Wow..."
"Silver Eyes?' Hyde repeated.
"My eyes are silver," Yu noted plainly.
"They're gray at best," Ragna turned him down. "What else, you got anything under enhancements?"
"Regenerating Clip; it has me regenerate my ammo clip for Crescent Rose over time," she told him before turning to Ragna. "What do you have?"
"A technique of mine called Hell's Fang and another one called Dead Spike. Under Enhancements I have my Regeneration... though where's everything else ?" Ragna thought aloud before noticing that everyone was staring at him. "...What?"
"Why are your techniques so edgy?" Hyde asked.
"Seriously?" Ruby questioned.
"You do seem to have a dark streak," Yu admitted.
"Says the girl that uses a weapon that's supposed to go between gun and scythe, a kid with too much highlight in his hair, and Yu," Ragna retorted.
"What about me?" the silver haired teen asked.
"You know what you are," Ragna accused him vaguely.
"...It's not that edgy," Yu tried to defend.
"STOP BEING SO CRYPTIC!" Ruby shouted once more. Groaning, she exited her Class Attributes selection, only to come across an odd discovery. "The only catagory that's left is Skills and a couple that only have question marks in them... Must have to unlock those later."
"Let's see what we've got under skills for now," Yu suggested. "Looks like we've got five skill points to start with and a lot of skills to choose."
"You're not kidding, and they all take ten points..." Ruby said as she slowly scrolled through the options. "Oh, here's one for cooking."
"Dibs, I call first!" Ragna suddenly shouted as everyone watched him invest ten points into his Cooking skill, maxing it out and using up all of his points. "That's better..."
"Isn't that sort of a waste?" Ruby questioned as she continued scrolling through the list. "Ugh, you've got to kidding me, they've got an ability for Sex Appeal? What sort of perv would put their points in there?" She then turned to Yu and Hyde, only to watch as both of them inserted all five points that they had. "...Really you two?"
"It could be useful," Yu defended as passively as ever.
"Cooking would have been a total waste to put it in," Hyde said as he shook his head.
"There are more options than Sex Appeal and Cooking!" Ruby scolded them before selecting one of her skills. "Fine, I'm putting mine in Wilderness Survival. That useful enough for you?"
"I don't know... Is it?" Yu asked with a charming smile... only for him to get struck in the head by a piece of Ruby's bread. "Guess level 5 isn't enough," he sighed before grabbing the bread. "...It's starting to go stale."
"And the rest of it's already cold," Hyde sighed. "I mean, it's not like it tasted worthwhile to begin with, but after everything we put into it, it seems like a waste."
"Then quit your moaning and help me out," Ragna said as he grabbed his pot of stew and brought it back over to the work area. Using a set of flint, he managed to reignite the fire. "Upgrading my skill just now gave me a crap ton of abilities to use, and one of 'ems called Reheat. Looks like I have another chance at this stew if I do it right."
"That so?" Ruby observed. "But our own Cooking skills still haven't been changed." That was when a screen appeared in front of the three of them. 'Chef: This High ranking ability allows its user to amplify the powers of an allies cooking nearby.' "I get it... so we're not out of this yet."
"I'm certainly not happy serving omelets that taste anything like this," Yu told her as he took a pair of glasses out of his pocket and put them on before undoing the top few buttons of his outfit, showing his true game face.
"Heh, and I'm not about to come in last place," Hyde said with a confident smirk of his own as he gathered up his vegetables. "Everyone ready for round two?"
"Ready as I'll every be!" Ruby told them energetically. 'Maybe this group isn't as bad as I thought... This looks like it could even be a lot of fun!' "LET'S GO!"
Author's Note
Since it's Ragna's birthday, I thought I'd at least say that I felt obligated to get this chapter out. The info dump of exposition I put out here will certainly give everyone something to chew on for the time being, I'm hoping.
Now that everyone's had a chapter dedicated to their own point of view, the rest of this series likely won't follow that pattern and will do more to focus on the group as a whole. That isn't to say that each character wont have their own scenes or chapters where they'll stand out, but you know... there's no 'I' in 'Team'... or I any of the main character's first names actually.
Anyways, here's the review responses.
Dread Grim Reaper: A thank you to you.
Scifi73: Sorry, not a big Monster Hunter player.
Wlyman2009: Good, question.
Mugen7: Now I'll take that Hiatus, my work is done for a while.
BlackSavior: Here's plenty of RPG elements for you.
TheUnplanner: True... but High School in Japan is seen as the greatest years of your life, much the same way crazy College life is for students in the states.
Mystech Master: We already talked, but I'm trying to keep it pretty even... save for Ragna's small boost to start with.
Azure Legacy: Was finishing this up as soon as your wrote this, that's timing my friend.
And now the Omake, a little short this time, but it's still here.
A Needed Surprise...?
Ragna: "You know that this blindfold ain't doing jack against me, right?"
Hyde: "We know, just try go along with it an keep you eyes closed."
Ragna: "Could've just asked me that from the start and left the blindfold off."
Yu: "Ruby was into it."
Ruby (most likely blushing): "No I wasn't! Stop telling obvious lies!"
Ragna: "Yeah yeah, whatever..."
Yu: "See? He's into it too."
Ragna: "That's not what I... You know what, let's just get this over with."
Ruby: "Right through this door... Alright, take the blindfold off and open your eyes."
Ragna: "Got it, I... what the...?"
Yu/Hyde/Ruby: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAGNA!"
Before Ragna is a large room with tables with all of his friends and allies (and some enemies too) seated at tables with decorations, a large cake, and plenty of punch... and some booze that Kagura brought and was already getting drunk on.
Ragna: "You... you knew?"
Hyde: "Yep, the writer left us all specific instructions to throw you a small birthday party... though he says he can't make it. Something about his cousin's birthday or something."
Ragna: "There's goes my chance of asking him for a raise... Seriously though, you guys didn't have to do all of this."
Yu: "Well we did, so go out and enjoy yourself... though, mind the Party Crashers."
Ragna: "Uh oh."
Hyde: "Yeah a few people came in from our own worlds in order to enjoy the party... I mean, I think you'll probably be fine with most of my friends, but some of my adversaries..."
?: "I take it you're today's man of the hour?"
Hyde: "Great, there's one now... and you know that's two measurements of time, right?"
Gordeau (smiling): "True, but I'm not one to sweat the small stuff. I'm also not one of those guys that's here to start trouble, so relax and let me say my part."
Ragna: "You... you're that Greed Harvester, aren't you?"
Gordeau: "Nice to meet you, Dream Taker. I just wanted to introduce myself to a fellow scythe user, two now that I think about... it. Where'd she-?"
Yu: "Ruby went to assault the cookie display the instant before you got here."
Ruby (off-screen): "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Gordeau: "Heh, some kids just won't change... Be looking forward to seeing what moves you've got. I'm hoping you'll either give me a good fight or make a decent partner."
Ragna: "You seem to be fine with either option though... more power to ya I guess."
The Reaper then heads off to enjoy his party, only to be stopped by-
"BROTHER!"
...A familiar annoyance.
Ragna: "Jin, please... Not on my Birthday."
Jin: "Oh, but brother... I just HAVE to give you your birthday gift now! You love Star Wars, DON'T YOU!?"
Ragna: "It's... okay, I guess. What does that have to do with... is that Noel?"
Jin (ecstatic): "Yes brother, it is that garbage... FROZEN IN CARBONITE!"
Ragna: "YOU ASSHOLE!"
Jin (bloodthirsty): "YEEEES BROTHER! POINT YOUR BLADE AT ME!"
Noel (frozen in carbonite): "Mmmmmmmmm!" (Get me out of this thing!)
Hyde: "You're giving this gift to Ragna? You realize that if he hangs it on a wall like it's meant to be, he'd be looking at Noel most of the time."
Jin: "HE'D WHAT!? THIS CAN'T STAND! I MUST CORRECT THIS IMMEDIATELY!"
Jin then leaves the party, much to everyone's relief.
Ragna: "What IS his problem?"
Yu: "Just try to ignore it. Here, I'll introduce you to someone a bit more normal. Kanji!"
Kanji: "Eh? Did you need something Senpai?"
Yu: "I just wanted to introduce you to the guy that we're throwing this party for. Ragna this is Kanji Tatsumi, he's a good friend and he was a member of the Investigation team I was on."
Ragna: "Right, you brought up this guy before. Well, nice to meet you I guess, Kan... uh, you okay?"
Kanji (blushing): "Huh? W-Why wouldn't I be?"
Ragna: "Your face is... oddly red..."
Kanji (nervous): "I... um, I had something spicy just now. Gotta grab some water! ...Maybe one of those cupcakes with the little puppy ears while I'm there."
Kanji runs off
Ragna: "You said that you'd introduce me to someone normal..."
Yu (sweat-dropping): "Maybe I should've introduced you to Yosuke then... Kanji might be a little off at first, but I doubt you'll find a more loyal or honest friend out there."
Ragna: "I don't exactly have a high bar for those sorts of things, so I'll have to take your word for it."
?: "Aw, how can you say something like that?"
Ragna (suddenly put in a head lock): "URK! ...*Sigh* Hey Yang."
Yang: "Hey yourself, big guy! Happy Twenty-Something! Unless you're somehow in your late teens and none of us are the wiser."
Ragna: "Beats the hell out of me. So what are you really here for? I know you're as big of a Party Crasher as one can get, but you came to me for something."
Yang: "Just wanted to make sure that you took good care of my kid sister, we both know that if anything happens to her under your watch..."
Ragna: "You'll find a way to tear a way through dimensions like Azrael and kick my ass, I'm aware..."
Yang: "...I was just going to to hit you at some random point in an Omake."
Ragna: "Oh, well I don't want that to happen either."
Yu: "Wait, WHAT can Azrael do!?"
Ragna: "Uh... I think we're about to cut the cake!"
Hyde: "Don't avoid the question! We're supposed to be fighting that thing!"
Ruby (at the cookie display): "Chocolate Chip Cookies!"
Noel: "MMMMMMPH!" (I'M STILL TRAPPED IN HERE!)
Until Next Time! CIAO!
