Sorry this chapter's late, guys. I'm a busy college student. :'D
THE FAERIES' RUIN…chapter 4
Setting: Hanso has successfully infiltrated Nox's lair.
Hanso: Ooh, nice stuff. Urge to steal…rising…
*magical wall torch WHOOSHes to life in green flames*
Hanso: Coooool. :o
Torch: It means he knows you're here now, dumb ass.
Hanso: Aw. ):
Nox: How dare you trespass here! Be gone before I blast you so hard that Grundos will be finding pieces of you on Kreludor!
Hanso: Ha, that's clever.
Nox: Oh, you really think so? I've been waiting to threaten somebody with that one for ages.
Hanso: This was totally the perfect time to use it.
Nox: I know, right? Anyway…I KEEL JOO DEAD.
Hanso: Now, now…no need to get all butthurt, Nox, old chum.
Nox: I'm not your chum, buddy.
Hanso: Well I'm not your buddy, guy!
Nox: I'm not your guy, friend!
Hanso: I'm not your frien—
Nox: JUST TELL ME WHY YOU'RE HERE, GAWD.
Hanso: I just dropped in to see how that artifact was working out for you.
Nox: What in Neopia are you talking about?
*alarm goes off…or something*
*AAAARRRRUUUUUU*
Nox: Well, well, well…what have we here? *pulls out a crystal ball that shows him our heroes*
Altador (from inside the crystal): Nox has been alerted to our presence! Storm the gates!
Xandra: *got her ass kicked* x_x
Nox: So, I see you've brought friends!
Hanso: Yeah, they wanted to see how the artifact was working out for you, too.
Nox: Really? Oh, how thoughtful, I—HEY WAIT A SECOND…
Hanso: Dang, villains just aren't as gullible as they used to be. :(
Nox: *pulls a book off a shelf that opens a secret passageway behind the bookshelf*
Hanso: That is…so cliché.
Nox: But effective! If you steal anything else, I'll know about it, so take care with what you lay your sticky fingers on, thief!
Hanso: Speaking of fingers, how are you holding that crystal ball if you don't have any?
Nox: …F*CK YOU, THAT'S HOW. *throws it at Hanso and runs off*
Brynn: *darts into the room as Nox escapes* Hanso! Stop him!
Hanso (picking up the crystal ball): Durr?
*DOOR TO THE ROOM SLAMS SHUT*
Altador (from inside the crystal): The doors are sealed!
Jazan (likewise): Look out, the ceiling's coming down!
Hanso: Aw, they're having all the fun. :(
Brynn: *tries to open the door* D:
Hanso: Did you not hear all that yelling from the crystal ball? The doors are sealed shut, dummy.
Brynn: I don't see YOU with any better ideas, Hanso!
Hanso: Actually, a good thief always has an alternate means of escape…lucky for you.
Brynn: Oh yes, lucky for me. -_-
Hanso: Watch this trick I can do! Alakazam! *pulls the appropriate book and voilá the bookshelf opens! Like magic!*
Brynn: I see what you did there.
Hanso: Into the escape tunnel we go!
*the tunnel is pitch black, of course*
Brynn: I can't believe you.
Hanso: *sighs* Yes, sometimes I even astonish myself with my cleverness. Thanks for noticing.
Brynn: No, I can't believe your dumb ass let Nox go! You saw him escape through this passageway, and you didn't follow him?
Hanso: But it's dark!
Brynn: Oh, for the love of—
Hanso: Besides that, it seemed a bit dangerous to run after him on my own—UNARMED, since you, I don't know, kind of took my dagger.
Brynn: Oh, so now you're blaming it on me?
Hanso: You're a woman. Of course it's your fault.
Brynn: Why you dirty rotten…
Hanso: And he chucked a crystal ball at my head!
Brynn: Oh, boo-hoo, a crystal ball! I once saw you fight three Brightvale guards all on your own. Do you except me to believe that a crystal ball would scare you?
Hanso: Really? It was three? *puffs out chest* :D
Brynn: What are you doing? -_-
Hanso: …nothing. *resumes normal posture* You know, Brightvale guards aren't that impressive—
Brynn: *WHACKS*
Hanso: Ow! Except you, of course, Brynn my dear. Heh…
Brynn: Yeah, sure.
Hanso: Maaaaybe I didn't follow Nox because I wanted more of your charming company.
Brynn: Or maybe it's because you two are in cahoots.
Hanso: …oops my foot slipped!
Brynn: OOF-*trips and falls* Tripping me! You've sunk to a new low.
Hanso: Don't blame me for your clumsiness. I thought Kougras were supposed to have excellent reflexes.
Brynn: …I have no witty retort so I'm just going to pretend I can't find my helmet. Harrumph.
Hanso: Oh good, a candle. *lights it up* Maybe this will prevent any more sneak attacks.
Brynn: Pfft. You know, you'd think a guy with a lavishly decorated mansion could afford a few wall sconces for passageways like this.
Hanso: Have you seen the economy lately? Budget cuts.
Brynn: Where did you even find that candle?
Hanso: What do you do if fierce Peophins has eaten too much tin of olives?
Brynn: …what?
Hanso: Huh?
Brynn: …:/
Hanso: At the risk of being hit again, can I say that you look much better without that helmet?
Brynn: Oh, shut up. Where are we?
(Vile, evil plot step with the wooden pegs and knobs and doors)
Hanso: Oh sweet! A puzzle! I LOVE puzzles! *starts messing around with the knobs*
Brynn: *listens closely for their friends*
Hanso: What happens if I dooo…red-red-blue-red-green? *pushes button*
Xandra: AAAAUGH DEATH RAY NOOOO.
Hanso: Hehehe…
Brynn: *glares*
Hanso: *shrinks* Um…let's try…blue-green-red-green-red? *pushes button*
Jazan: Ooh, ice cream! :o
Hanso: Hmmm…green-blue-green-blue-red! *pushes button*
Altador: OMG USUKIS. :O
Brynn, Hanso: *blink blink*
Brynn: Move over, let me try. *pushes Hanso out of the way and does a different combination*
Altador: NOOO SCARABS TOOK MY USUKIS. ;~;
Brynn: Ah…oops.
Hanso: *shakes head* You see? You women are the reason we can't have nice things.
