Skull concentrated on his spell, praying that it would work this time. After all, 57th time's the charm, right?

POOF!

Skull coughed, waving away black smoke that had appeared. He peered hopefully at the table top, only to discover that it was still empty and lacking any demons/evil minions.

"It...didn't work..." Skull muttered, staring at a small cloud of the remaining black smoke. A gloomy aura started surrounding him as his new pet octopus climbed up the table, waving it's tentacles at the mushrooms that were now growing in the smoke.

"Hey, Skull, there's nothing to eat for dinner! Let's go buy- Skull?" You peered into the unlit room, letting your eyes adjust to the dark as you searched for the purple-haired necromancer. There was black smoke, mushrooms, an octopus... You sighed as you spotted him sitting in a corner, muttering to himself about past and recent failures.

"Come on, Skull, stop being so depressed! So you didn't make any demons appear- at least we have mushrooms now!" you told him brightly. He ignored you while his gloomy aura steadily grew gloomier.

"Fine, stay depressed. But that's not going to help you beat Reborn or Colonello, is it?" you snorted, turning to the door.

"I will beat them! I will!" you heard Skull exclaim, snapping out of his depressed state. You turned back to him and cheered.

"Good for you, Skull! Be more determined instead of depressing, and maybe you'll get somewhere!" You smiled as you felt Skull's gloomy aura disappear, being replaced with one of fiery passion and will.

"Now that that's solved, what are we going to eat?" you pondered, absentmindedly scanning the room. You blinked when your eyes spotted the octopus, which was now throwing mushrooms everywhere.

"Oh! I know, let's have sashimi with mushroom soup! Everything we need is here~" you said. Instantly, you felt the fiery and determined aura dim down into a dark, depressing aura.

"No...my pet...my poor octopus..."

You facepalmed. Looks like chinese take-out tonight.

-----------------

L-chan: For those of you who don't know, sashimi is kinda like sushi. Raw and thinly sliced. And eating octopus is like chewing rubber bands .

And for those of you who are wondering right now, no, I do not chew rubber bands, no matter how tasty they look.

Review please! :D
