Chikadzu: In Fate we Tie
Chapter 4: Restlessness
Before Story Note: Again, this is boring so I'll be quick
The character Marchesa (if you've read Hain you'll know who she is) appears in this story, if you don't know she's basically a psychotic female black widow spider who lives in Prague.
As Shingari began to stir, he heard a loud conversation between Espio, Kuriba and Vector.
"You can't just let a stranger in without consulting everybody!" Espio yelled
"We did...we just didn't consult you..." Vector replied
"Look...he is so poor..he eats Charles Dickens books, I mean if it was Shakespeare I would understand but come on...Dickens!!!" Kuriba fiercely shouted
"Look, you can't just let moochers in all the time..."
"Oh yeah you can talk Espio, how come you let Kuriba in?"
"Hey, that was different! Look he's leaving and that's final!" just then Espio was whacked on the back of the head and Shingari appeared 'from the shadows'.
"If I'm so unwelcome I'll leave..."
"No! I'm not letting you eat any more books!!!" Kuriba was determined not to let him leave and even went to the point where she blocked the door. Eventually Shingari settled to sleeping on the roof and whacking Espio one more time before moving.
A few hours later Espio was downstairs, everybody else was out showing Shingari, 'the sights of the real world'. The phone suddenly rang and Espio was on it like a very very slow ant.
"Hello, Chaotix Detective Agency, we're the maddest people around, we will accept suicide for the right pay, bla bla bla, who is this?"
"My name is Marchesa Julie Lee Chang Minerva Frosty Dung Black Serrated Widow. I'll be blunt, a slave was supposed to be delivered to me yesterday...and it wasn't. My 'informing dude' has given me reason to believe that it's in your detective agency. I want you to capture him and take it to my lair in Prague..."
"What is the slave called?" Espio sighed not believing her
"Shingari Motochika..." an evil smirk spread across Espio's lips
"How much would we get paid?"
"If you drag the mission out to the full allowed time of one week, you will one million Euros converted into whatever sick currency you use. You'll get more if you do it quicker..."
"Good where do take it to?"
"1 Evil Street, Duca Fortress, Prague. And be quick about this hypnosis machine isn't going to repair itself!" just then everybody else came in, Espio lied and told them that 'some dude' wanted to meet all of them in Prague for 'no explained reason'.
4 days later in some street in Prague, the group were greeted by a short woman in a vampire costume and in a rather forced deep voice told them
"Welcome to Prague, mwahahahahaha! Home to the ball team the Prague Vampires, mwahahahaha! Buy a house, meet celebrities or random tourist information people, we have it all in Prague, mwahahahaha!"
"Alright first take off the costume, we're not eunuchs..." Vector told the lady while sighing, she then wailed
"Oh Mr Orange will fire me for this! Or is it Mr Grapefruit, no he's the head of the company, last week it was Mr Pineapple...oh...let me check...it's Mr Strawberry...oh woe is me!!!"
"What company do you work for anyway?"
"The Prague Fruits, Prague mwahahahaha! Oh why do I bother?" the enigmatic girl took off the costume, when a more 'open' view was available of her, the group saw she was a young anthropomorphic white hyrax with long white hair, she wore a t-shirt and trousers coloured the same way as the Czech flag and had grey shoes on. Her eyes were a silver colour, after a few seconds of mindless posing she then cheerfully sighed
"Hi, I'm Janet Johnson, crap tourist information girl but brilliant at tourist information!"
"That last bit didn't make sense..."
"So why are you here?"
"We're here to find a 1 Evil Street in Duca.."
"Ah Duca, that's uh...up there..." Janet pointed north to a huge gloomy fortress that seemed to detract from the pleasantness of the rest of the area.
"But...you need a visa to get in..." she told them
"My visa! Damn I left it at home!" Vector cursed
"I knew there was something I forgot..." the rest of them said seemingly in unison
"Well uh...Janet...you have a visa...how would you like to come with us?"
"Vector no! We've had this conversation several times!"
"But look at her...she's going to get fired from her crap job soon..."
"Kuriba! We've already taken in one moocher we're not taking in another! And what is that anyway?" Espio proclaimed after smelling something weird
"Oh that's my coconut essence!" Janet cheerfully exclaimed, after receiving several blank looks she just blankly said
"This way..."
What will happen next? Will Espio betray his friends to get rid of Shingari? Will Janet ever make sense? Will you review? The answer to the last question is yes by the way...
