and talking to Mr.Beta Reader from Girly Town U.S.A...
Why was Thantos, shrinking? Aya picked up her Dark Lord cup cake and watched Thanatos shrink, twist, and swirl into, Doppelganger! "Heh, Thana won't miss the cup cakes I found on his counter, will he?" Doppelganger said with a /heh expression. But when a HUGE shadow fell over him it turned into a /swt expression.
Aya had just bitten itno her cup cake when the shadow spoke. "Why did you take MY cup cakes!" The real Thanatos demanded while clenching his armored fist. "W-well I thought they were for the MVP meeting, and you know how Maya likes a guy who can cook!" Doppelganger stuttered, only to trip on Ayas staff.
"Doppelganger we knew thee well..." Moonlight muttered whle finishing off her cup cake. "You're gonna make me more cupcakes for this!" Thanatos shouted while shoving a black apron into Doppels face that said 'Don't trust what the cook's making' in blue letters.
"I can't cook!" Doppelganger complained. "Then how do you eat?" Eddga argued. "I take food from the people I kill, duh!" Doppelganger replied as if that was the most obvious thing in the world.
The MVPs gave a /swt expression as they watched Doppelganger put on the apron
and head into Thanatos's lair, to possibly burn the place down. "And you"
Thanatos said as he turned his attention twoards her. "Who are you!" Aya
just stared.
"I said, WHO ARE YOU?" He demanded, "Uhm, I'm Aya, Hi...?" she stutterd,
Thanatos just stared.
Yasu rocked on her harp boredly, watching Isamu spar with a Shelter, atleast he was done with the whole 'cry for 3 days and nights because he couldn't see Ai again.
"Ha! I win!" Isamu cheered and did a little 'victory dance' around her harp.
"Don't embarass yourself now Isamu" Amaya joked while clutching her skull,
she was the only black haired Shelter in the whole tower.
"Hey, you guys wana go visit Saiyuri and tease her about her crush on Kage"
Isamu asked, before the two girls could decline, he dragged them off to the
2nd level.
"It's ok for YOU to come here, but it's not ok for Yasu and I" Amaya whispered
"Yeah, lets go back to the 7th floor..." Yasu agreed. They found the 'couple'
near the portal, looking at a display of books, ofcourse Saiyuri wanted to read
them but the Basilica-like barier that surounded them wouldn't let her
get near.
"Yo, Saiyuri!" Isuma called, after that 2 things happend at once, Kage was knocked over onto the glass, which broke, and Saiyuri had the three other winged monsters pinned, questioning them at a mile a minuet.
Kage rised from his 'grave', twitching in pain. "OHMIGAWSHKAGE!" Saiyuri
yelled as she tackled him, lets just say he looked like a pin cushion.
"Why, why, why!" Kage shouted, punctuating each word by banging his head
on the ground, the winged trio just laughed.
When the Alice finally finished healing the tortured Retribution, Saiyuri thought of a game that they could play. Before anybody could decline she grabbed Kages wing, "What are you.." before he could finish she mercilessly pulled out a handful of feathers "DAMNIT WOMAN! WARN ME NEXT TIME!" Kage yelled as he rubbed the bald spot on his once 'perfect' wings.
Ignoring Kage's weeping she presented the bent feathers to the group. "I'm
gonna hide these all over the 1st and second floor" she started, while
opening her palm to reveal 5 feathers. "Whoever collects the most feathers,
wins a prize!" She cried with a /ok expression.
"What kind of prize?" Yasu asked, her merchant intuition kicking in for the first time in days. "Any prize you want!" Saiyuri answered happily, Yasu and Isamu both had a combo of /slur and /rice expresions, Kage was /swting, Amaya was yawning, and Saiyuri was just herself.
"I'm gonna break the four of you into teams" Saiyuri explained after she had successfully hidden all the feathers. "Kage and Amaya are team A, and Yasu and Isamu are team 1, mkay?" "Team A and Team 1?" Yasu asked with a /swt expression. "Yep! Ok, now ready, set, GO!" she called and the teams set off.
Kage muttered as he climbed down from the statue of the reading valkyrie in the middle of level one. Putting the feather in his pocket, knowing he could never put it back on his wing in THAT condition he set off to find his 'partner'.
Yasu sighed as she retrived a feather from a very nude angel sculpture.
"Erm, Isamu...?" she asked, poking the retribution. Isamu just stared at
the statue and said "She's...so...HOT!" Yasu screeched and bashed him in
the head with her harp.
Amaya had found a second feather, one more and theyd win, stopping suddenly she turned to face Kage. "You like her, don't you?" she questioned, "Like who?" he retorted in his usual monotone voice. "Saiyuri" she replied, casting him a questioning look. "Hn, no" he responded, but Amaya noticed the change in his voice.
"You forget, Kage, that I was a Gypsy, so I'm trained to recognive the pitch
of anybodys voice, so I can tell that yours changed." She stated with a sly
smile, "It's ok to admit that you like her, her birthday IS only 5 days away.
She heard the Retribution stop, jogging to catch up to him "You know, you
don't have to get her anything, she won't expect you to know her Birthday
anyway" she compromised, grinning at the poor guys uneasyness.
When they reached Saiyuri they noticed the other team badgering the wizard,
hoping to make her tell them the location of the 3rd feather. "Did you guys
find it?" Yasu asked with slight dismay. "Nope, how about a hint, Saiyuri"
Amaya asked her. "Mkay, you'll find the 3rd feather on the 1st floor, at
the place of my birth" she responded happily, and skipped off to do the
unpeakable to a poor, defenseless, Plasma.
The two teams took off, Yasu and Isamu, not ignorant to Saiyuri's past,
decided to wander randomly. However, Kage knew exactly where to go.
He lead the ebony haired shelter to a minature maze of stone slabs with
Moonlight Flowers, Orcs, Bon guns, Munaks, and Baphomets carved itno them.
Rushing to the 'end' of the maze he plucked the poor feather from the mane
of a stone Baphomet, sending Amaya to alert the others, he decided to walk
back to Saiyuri, thinking of a prize the whole way.
