Joy joy, it's Mercury~! New chapter, blah blah. ^^; It's rather short from reading how many words are in it. o.o;

Anyway, cheers. Enjoy.

"... Uh..."

"You're awake?" The girl blurted out randomly, looking into his violet eyes. "Great! You're all bandaged up and stuff, and I won't mention any of those scars to anyone." At that statement, he instinctively looked down again.

It was true; his body was covered in bandages, ranging from his abdomen to his neck, in nice, neat, white bandages. They were kinda tight on him, though, but he didn't mind so long as he did not randomly fall apart into bloody, multicolored chunks.

Eesh... Bad imagery.

"Uh... T-thank you, uh..." Glitch looked around slowly, eyes falling onto a mirror. … Well. If she knows anything, she'll guess I'm the guy from Little Resistance. My mask is gone... He ran a fretful hand through his black hair, making sure to tease the sagging fauxhawk atop his head back up to a presentable fin. "... My name's... Mmh..." The girl on top of him tilted her head in innocent confusion, and leaned forward a little more get a better look at him.

Of course, that meant boobs to chest more, causing a rather obvious reaction of a red Glitch. Totally not expected...

"What? I wanna know your name~!" The girl cooed, eyes sparkling with interest. "I bet it's something awesome, what with the clothing and all! Is it something with 'Brother' in front of it? Like 'Brother Zakahev' or-"

"It's... Chris" Glitch interrupted her, before she got out of hand and earn them a copyright problem. "My name is Chris... No 'brother' in front of it. Just... Chris." He enunciated, feeling slightly bad when the girl pouted- cutely.

"Aww... Oh, well, it's a name. My name is Compa!" She half-shouted in excitement, possibly in making a friend-slash-possible-test-subject-for-different-medicines. "Nice to meet you, Chris!"

"Uh... Y-yeah, a pleasure..." Glitch stuttered nervously, caught between staring at Compa's adorable facial features, and...

Well, you could guess what he was staring at. "Oh! I should get to my other patient... Sorry for leaving you like this." Compa suddenly burst out, adding a lot more blood to Glitch's already red face.

Isn't like we were doing anything big.

"The clothes you were wearing were intact when I found you, so I washed them and put them over there..."

Okay, so you stripped me. Charming.

"... And some water is in the fridge over there, if you need it. I'll be right back!" She finished as she jumped off of him and ran out of the room, leaving him to his own devices for the time being.

So he took the time to get his clothes on, slightly embarrassed that someone had seen him without his trademark gear. After he finished and downed a container of water, he stepped outside of the room into the rather humble home of Compa. He looked around slowly and smirked to himself, wondering why he hadn't considered such a house earlier in life.

Right! Career. He let out a small chuckle as he wandered aimlessly through the rooms, pushing one open...

"I'm gonna snap, can't breathe! Cant make... any more... comments..." … To find the nurse in training herself wrapping up a nude girl in gauze.

"... Uh..."

"... Oh... Uh, Chris?"

"Yeah?"

"... Get out for just a moment, okay~?"

Central City, Planeptune

"We need a nickname for you, Chris!" Neptune suddenly blurt out as they traversed the streets of the central city of Planeptune. "Chris is just so bland..." She groaned on, eliciting a louder sigh from Glitch- er, Chris.

Didn't know there was a (censored) problem.

"Hmm... That shirt you wear under that is so multicolored, it reminds me of a messed up screen." Neptune rambled in her usual fashion, making Compa and Glitch- er, dang... Chris sigh and shake his head respectively. "Kinda like a glitch in a game... Oh! Glitch~! That works! You're Glitch from now on."

"Wha..." Glitch glanced at her out of the corner of his eye in complete surprise. First, she had just revealed- without her knowing it- his actual known name. Second, she did that within the span of ten seconds.

Three, when the HELL did she see his shirt?

"Fits perfectly, I think!" Neptune nodded in overly-expressed contempt and looked over at Compa. "What'cha think, Compa?"

"W-wha? Oh... I think it fits." The nurse in training responded, not really thinking about what she had asked.

Thanks for the help! "Call me what'cha want, I guess..." Glitch shook his head and sighed slowly as he looked up. "... An abandoned factory?"

"Yep! It's our first dungeon!" Neptune replied in excitement, eliciting another groan from Glitch. "Compa, you sure this is the place?"

"Positive!" The teen replied, nodding and smiling ever-so-sweetly.

"Awesome! Let's get in there and take down the high level monsters, and show 'em-" Without warning, Glitch put a hand on her head and silenced her with a glare.

"Listen, Nep. It's more than likely we are NOT gonna find anything that big, or anything at all." He growled, making sure to make it real clear what he meant. "If anything, a few slimes. Don't get all excited!"

"But... Didn't Compa-?"

"No, no. I searched for 'low-level dungeons' so that we wouldn't need my expertise." Compa shook her head slowly as Neptune let out a long groan.

"BORRRRING! I'll just wait for you two to get done with it, then." Both of her companions looked at her in annoyance.

"AS IF!" And in she was dragged.

As usual, shoot a review and take some time to hug someone. They REALLY make someone's day if they like hugs.
