Welcome to I.O.U. Collage for gifted individuals.

Hellion "James" McKimble

He watched her with awe. So commanding. He liked her. "Actually, it's the magic they have. The same spell that makes them so adorable people have to pet them, sometimes starving to death, also makes them one of the most delicious little treats there are. And, more addictive than most drugs, too. Some of those aren't interested in eating it. Some want to use it to propogate enough to sell them for profit. Others think it's endangered and want to try to save it."

He smiled at her, and nodded. "Three-thirty. Cool. My class get's out a little before then. So, where you wanna meet? Outside WUSE? Maybe we could, umm, talk over dinner, perhaps? I know a nice little place, just outside campus."

He smiled, and fidgeted a bit, "That is,...if you want to..."

 

[Vixandra]

Ari

An invitation to dinner? This from someone who was ready to draw on me? And now he wants to meet me outside WUSE? I felt something inside me thaw out a bit as I smiled at him.
"Well, if we're going off campus to dinner, I'd like to change," I said with a look at my cloths- cargo pants and a black t-shirt held on the sides with black lacing proclaiming "Its a wonderful" with a red butterfly beneath it- engrish at its finest. "So, how about I meet you infront of the Seele dorms at, oh, 4:15? I imagine my next class might get a bit messy. How formal is this place you're talking about off campus?"
As I talked, I slipped my gunblade back into its holster from touch alone, careful of the razor sharp blade. Wouldn't do to slice my own skin after threatening others. I hit a few buttons on my wrist puter, restealthing it. I hardly ever went unarmed, and never without my wrist link but I rarely showed that I was armed. Wasn't good for buisness.

Hellion "James" McKimble

"Not too formal, but not a fast food restaurant. It's a nice little Italian place. Dim lights, good food, relatively clean,...mostly sane people there. No violinists, and the servers are in uniform collared shorts, but it's nice. I'd say just to wear whatever you want."

He smiled at her, and looked her over. "Besides, I'm sure you look great in anything. Seele dorms, 4:15. It's a date."

Suddenly, a bullet few across the room, catching him in the forehead. He fell backwards out of his seat, and hit the floor, dead.

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

He awoke with a start, "Fuck! What time is it!?"
He pulled himself up, looking around. He cursed again, pulling on his clothes and making sure he had all his possessions with him.

A young man was checking a chart across the room. He looked at his wrist. "Five after four," he relpied, glancing back down at the chart.

Hellion cursed, and checked his watched. Good, it was still the same day. Holding his shoes in his hand, he took off like mad for his dorm room. He'd have to change fast. He was already gonna be late.

"Fuck! Fuck! I'm gonna be late! Finally get a date, and I fucking get shot!"

He threw himself into his room, and began changing immediately. Cursing the whole time, he put on a nice pair of slacks and a solid colored, long-sleeved button-up shirt that didn't clash horribly. He pulled on his sneakers and grabbed a belt as he hurried down.

He threaded the belt as he ran across campus. "Seele dorm, Seele dorm, I can't believe this!"

Ari

I stared at Hellion for a moment before whiping his blood from my face. Standing I pulled out my gunblade once more.
I scanned the room, found the only gun that was out- a guy holding the gun in one hand, a meep in the other.
I put a pair of bullets into him, one through his crotch and the other between his eyes. "Baka!"
Eyes flew to me before the pounced on the meep once more.
Rushing over the table in a jump, I called for a Medic on my WC (wrist computer) and checked on Hellion myself.
"Damn it," I cursed under my breath. "This isn't fair..."
A medic came, collected Hellion and I tagged along to the infirmary after waving to no-name-boy and Zero.
"When will he wake up?"
"Around three thirty or so," the medic said, hooking him up to a couple of machines.
"Good," I said with a smile. A bell rang through the school, sending me running for my class. I managed to find it only ten min late- had to take a teleporter to a satalite campus site. After the rush of getting there, I realized it was a waste.
On the chalk board, carefully drawn out, was a sketch of my jump drive.
I looked to the teacher. "Is that what we're studying?"
"Yes, Miss... Inverse," she said with a smile. SHe looked a bit crazy, like most of the staff here. She looked back at her roster and then at me again. "Wait- you're not..."
"Yeah, I am," I said with a sigh before going to the board, grabbing the chalk and fixing the drawing. "This was a 1.0 engine, we're up to revision 2.4 now. A bit stabler, better fuel efficiancy."
"Take your seat," the teacher said, studing the changes I'd made.
I tuned out the rest of class, wondering if Hellion was okay. Dying wasn't a perminant thing here, but it certainly wasn't comfy. But the Medic did say he'd be awake for our date tonight, so I'd plan on still going.
The teacher let class out early, after dousing us in JMP183, the fuel used in the jump drive by accident.
I made it to my room, grumbling and threw my cloths in the clothing recycler before hitting the shower. Later I emerged, sparkly clean, hair dry.
Eek! It was already 3:50! Had taken that long to get the fuel off of me!
I dressed hurridly in a simple sphagetti strap dress that skimmed the tops of my matching black thigh highs. Over this went a poet-sleeved (full belly sleeved) ankle length coat in a green that matched my eyes. Black boots, a stealthing thigh holster for my gunblade, and a pair of emerald earings completed the outfit.
A touch of eye shadow and lipstick, and I was ready to go at... EEK! 4:25!
I dashed out of my room and literally slammed into Hellion in the main foyer of the dorm.
Picking myself up and dusting off I laughed. "Here I was worried about being late and you just got here."
I moved closer and pushed his hair off his forehead. "No bullet mark- good. You feeling okay? I got the jerk that did you."

He was breathing hard. He nodded, and doubled over, resting a moment as he looked her over. He whistled and smiled at her. "You look beautiful. Yeah, I'm fine. It's not so bad after the first time. First time I had my head cut off during registration. They almost weren't gonna revive me until they noticed how much cash I had on me."

He laughed, and stood up. He smiled again. "But you really are beautiful. Oh! Umm,...It's only a short walk to the restaurant."

He smiled at her, and held the door open for her as they left the dorm. He started walking, and smiled at her, again.

"So, what fields to do specialize in? The pure magics, the mental magicks, or the scientific majiks?"

 

[Vixandra]

Ari

"Yo cata" I whispered, slipping back into my native language for a moment. "I'm glad you're okay."
I walked through the door as he opened it. A blush stained my cheeks as he called me beautiful.
"I'm not as pretty as all that," I said with a laugh. "But I clean up rather nicely. Objectively speaking though, I think you look better. I like the black."

"So, what fields to do specialize in? The pure magics, the mental magicks, or the scientific majiks?"

"Oh, I specialize in computer based magical adaptations," I said as we walked. It was beautiful outside. "Basically, using a computer to help organize the spell I'm using, focusing the magic. Branched into mechanical focuses about two years ago when I started on my jump drive. Finished it up to version 2.4 just last month before I started packing to come here. I'm good with mechanicals, I found out. Regular little grease monkey... that channels vast amounts of magic. I get it from my great grand mother. Apparently I look like her too, just better, as it was put "stacked' then she was.
"With the invention of my jump drive, I bought my freedom from the guy who'd bought me as a kid from a slaver that had caught me on my own as a toddler on my home world. Returned there- sooo stoneage! Couldn't handle it so hopped off, and ended up here to learn more. Knowledge is power you know."
We turned a corner and the scent of Italian food floated on the air. "How about you, what's your story?"

 

[The GrandMage]

Hellion "James" McKimble

He was silent a moment, after being very involved with her story. He held the door open to the restaurant for her, and gave her a brief smile. They were seated in a small booth in a corner before he started talking. The restaurant was clean, but with a cheesy stereotypical italian theme. candles were the main illumination, the overhead lights offering poor light a best.

It was quaint, and somewhat romantic. "I come from Htrae. It's not a well-known place. There, I was a servant to Him-Without-A-Name. He trained me to be powerful in the technological majiks, the mental manipulations of magick, and the pure magical forces of magic. He taught me little of the finer arts of manipulation and control, though. He called me his 'battery'. A lot of power, but unable to really use it myself. He used me to keep from depleting his own powers. He was a harsh master, and didn't tolerate disobedience."

He sighed, looking at the tablecloth. "About a year ago, I guess, he beat me really bad. I was almost unconscious when I felt a weak spell moving through Htrae, searching for someone. I threw my power into it. It was a summonspell that the mage had errored while casting. I managed to hop it here to Earth. I found myself in a place I didn't fit in. I was taken in at an underground Discordian Temple. They trained me a bit, and financed my way here."

He looked up, and gave her a weak smile. "I try not to think too much of my home." He looked at one of the menus as a waitress walked over, asking what they'd like to drink. Hellion ordered a Coke, and watched Ari, a smile on his face.

OOC: How did I get behind here?

IC: the girl Ari had drawn an interesting weapon, and shot a bullet right above the crowd that had started fighting. over the meep. Aparently she wasn't used to bullet flying by her jsut yet. Another weak and that may change.

I considered going after the meep, but then again. I was rather comfortable siting right here and these things normally end with it geting away. So really I best not waste my time.

The conversation then went on and I decided it was best not to speak up dispite the girl asking for my name again. She didn't really mater to me, after all she is completely new here. I then fond a piece of paper crumpled up on my lap.

I turned to look quickly at the person who dropped it, and saw backstabing teacher walk by. I opened up the crumpeled paper udner the table and read the note. It was a chance for extra credit, aparently anotehr covert blood feud had broken out between my school and CoC. Well they asked about how come people fight in these and heres tehre answer. It is much eassier to pass classes. I crumpeled the paper back up and dropped it on the floor amungst the other trash. on the floor by zero So at Seele dorms, roughly at 4:00. Hmm interesting.

'Okay so we agree 4:15 Seele dorms.' Interesting, looks like I get a chance to eaves drop as well. Oh well, I'll jsut try and not get blood on them. A bullet tore threw James's head. splatering me with blood. "Damn it, these were clean.. wait a minute, no I was stabed in the back in them earlier toda... yesterday. Damn it is so hard to keep track of time while your dead." I wiped the blood from my face and started to draw my sword, planing to kill the person who splatered me with blood. When I noticed a bullet had ripped trhew his private area, and then a second one trhew his head. I guess I'll kill him later.

"Well he shood be fine by to night. Unless they decide to use the crockpot of the gods."

.....later that day.....

I was waiting on the Seele dorms roof, waiting for my contact. I could see Ari down below. She came in hurry but seemed but the guy hadn't shown much like my target. Looks like we both were stood up.

A while later i spoted some one runnign toward the building. I looked closely and could make it out as james, back with the liveing and in ratehr normal shape. Perhaps the stories of people geting revived in the wrong bodies are also made up, like the rats in the steam tunnels. The two were reunited below me and then headed off to where ever they planed to go.

"Stupid research assitent making me wait. I bet if it were a graduate student it'd be on time." I began to tap my foot waiting impateintly.

.... some time latter.....

Ah there my target is. I slid off the top of the building grabing onto various balcony rails as I head down. I simply would hold onto the rail for a moment before leting go less then a second later jsut enough to slow my fall not stop it at all. haveing softly reached the botom I drew my sword and ran out towards the target while it's back was turned I gave it a quick stab and then went back towards the dorm. Simple enough. I reached into my pocket checking to see if I ahd anything to clean my sword, but all I found was a necklace, the one that I was given yesterday before I died. Hmm, I wonder if a vending machine has something I can use to clean it.

.... Under Seele dorms...

From a large metal door in the basement a faint sound could be heard. It was a familar tune from the Nut Cracker was heard. The sound grew steadily louder before banging on the dore started and one could see dents forming in the door. Something was coming.

 

[Vixandra]

Ari

Wow, I thought, he really had it hard as a kid. No wonder he has a fight first ask questions later mentality, I would too. But he seemed stronger for it, if a little unruly but even that was not a bad thing. In a campus where people die and its no big deal, being unruley fit in just fine. I fought the urge to tell him that was no home- home is a place where you feel safe and warm just being there.
He looked up, and gave me a weak smile. "I try not to think too much of my home." He looked at one of the menus as a waitress walked over, asking what they'd like to drink. Hellion ordered a Coke, and watched me, a smile on his face.
"The same," I said. "Protoculture version."
The waitress nodded cheerily and bounced off and I turned to my menu. Hmmm... what to order? Oh, that looked good, Chicken Primavera on angel hair pasta. Came with some odd bread thing but sounded pretty good.
"I'm getting the chicken primavera, what are you having," I asked.

 

[The GrandMage]

Hellion "James" McKimble

He looked over the menu. He nodded at her selection, and glanced around the other options. "That does look good, but I think I'll have the Chicken Parmesan."

He looked over the salads a while, every now and then smiling up at her. Once their drinks arrived, they ordered. As the waitress left, Hellion smiled at Ari. "So, if I may ask, what magics cause your drive to go, how did you put it,...'off kilter'?"

 

[Vixandra]

Ari

I sighed, trying to put it into words. "Well the drive runs on JMP 183- Jet Metamagical Propulsion fuel #183. It gets the main magic from that and that's channeled through it, held by a magic metal infrastructure. I'll not bore you with the details."
The waitress came and took our orders- I declined a salad but asked for my bread sticks early. Taking a drink of coke I went on.
"Using that raw power, the drive converts it to forward force," I went on. "The special thing about it is its fuel efficiency. And when its out of fuel the drive can run off of raw power taken from its mechanic. My drives are very personal- they either like and take blood the first time you touch them, or they reject you, refusing to work. It does this because it runs on a special wave length. If someone who uses a school of magic that's at odds to it, say someone who's only good in botanical magics, tries to feed it, the engine goes a little nutty. We've only had one explosion though, a pretty good track record compaired to the old hype drives. Those things blew up if you sneezed on them wrong."
Pride in my work showed through as I talked. I'd poured my heart and soul into the drive, done everything to make it the best I could. "Because its a personal drive, it also prevents it from being used by an enemy faction, unless they have a Jump drive specialist like myself. All of my drives, whether I directly installed them or not, resonate to my touch. So none can be used against me. They also will obey my former Master, but only if it doesn't contradict me."
I looked up and our food was here already. "Listen to me, rattling on about my baby. Sad thing is- its the base of my IMCAP class. And the teacher was using v1.2 instead of 2.4. Oh well, perhaps I'll have Master send me a new drive for the class to work with. Would be good PR. What classes are you in?"

 

[The GrandMage]

Hellion "James" McKimble

He grunted. "Well, I'm taking a lot of the finer focus classes, and a few of the basic theory classes. I've got the raw power to back things up, but I don't have the finesse to do much of the more complicated things. I just can't,..."

He shook his head. "Really, so it's been giving problems to people with more botanically-centered abilities? Have you thought about using a Dorian Vacuum? They're expensive as Hell, and border on being illegal in most areas, but they might be able to fix the problem."

He shrugged, and sipped at his Coke. "So, Ari,...what do you like to do for fun?"

 

[Vixandra]

Ari

"Hadn't thought about using a Dorian Vacume," I said. "Would love to see how one of my drives would react to you. Even I can feel the power around you.
"I'm not sure why they dislikes botanical energies, guess its like me- plants don't do well around either of us," I said.
He shrugged, and sipped at his Coke. "So, Ari,...what do you like to do for fun?"
"Fun? Hmm," I thought for a moment. "I don't know really. Growing up, there wasn't time to do such things. It was always 'Ari learn this,' or 'Ari do that' or "ARIVANIA fix this NOW!' There wasn't really any time for playing like most children get to do. I'm not complaining, I did enjoy my child hood, as such things go and know I'm very lucky for a magical human that was sold by a Mikarian slaver. But there was always something to do, something to learn, I didn't play much."
A thought sturck me and I smiled softly. "I do bake, that I enjoy a lot. Guess you could call it a hobby of mine. I love learning to cook and bake new things. Master let me do it- food on the table that's better then a synthesizer and all that. Though adapting some of the recipies I hacked off the local networks we flew through for him was interesting. He was of the Shi'ara, a race of sentiant beings a bit above human leval intelligence, more avian then mammelion. Look kind of like a cross beteen a falcon and a humanoid. Had very pretty wings too. Didn't eat fowl or meat other then dragon, so I couldn't cook with any meats but dragon. Its so nice to be able to get chicken for a change."
He didn't talk all that much, just seemed content to let me ramble on- a nice change. And the way he watched me while I spoke, as if there was nothing else worth paying attention to. Even though my conversational English wasn't perfect and I know I occasionally messed up words, he didn't seem to mind. Our food arived and we both dug in with happy smiles.
"What do you do for fun? I'm almost always willing to try something noon, unless its at sunrise, I'm not a morning person at all," I said between bites.

 

[The GrandMage]

Hellion "James" McKimble

Hellion listened to her, watching her carefully. He smiled, thinking about how beautiful she was. And smart too. He began eating as the food arrived, trying not to act like a complete slob. Good impressions, Hellion. Good impressions.

He sat back, thinking about her question. "Cooking is nice. A lot of room for experimentation. Personally? I,...well,...I never really thought about doing anything for fun. I guess the mere fact that I can do things for myself, choosing what I want to do is fun for me. I haven't really done much except come here to learn more about what I can do..."

He sat, thoughtful a moment. "I guess I like to read. That's it. I like to read." He smiled at her, and began eating again, trying to think of something to say. By the goddess, why couldn't he think of anything to say?

 

[Vixandra]

Ari

I giggled before I could help it. We sounded like... oh dear we sounded like one of those earthian high school anime's!
"What's so funny?"
I explained what I'd thought with a smile. "Sorry, random things just pop into my head. You're right, being able to choose what to do, what to wear, where to go, how to live is something fun that most people take for granted.
"On another subject- are you busy this weekend? I heard its apple season in a place called Washington on earth and I wanted to go get some. Would you, I mean, do you want to, um, go with me? I mean you don't have to, but I think it could be fun. And I make a mean apple pie, I'll give you one for helping me."

 

[The GrandMage]

Hellion "James" McKimble

He smiled, and nodded. "I'd like that, to go with you, pick up some apples. It's a date."

He took another bites of food, watching her. By the Goddess, but she was perfect. Well, nearly perfect. But one couldn't have everything. He blinked, and then realized she hadn't asked the important question about the Temple he'd grown up in. She probably just took it for another of the strange Earth religions. He sighed, inwardly. He'd risked enough even mentioning it, now that he was in IOU.

He continued eating. It was delicious. And he was with good company. He realized that he couldn't stop smiling. He gave a small laugh, and watched her as she ate. He took a draw off his Coke.

IC: I had gone to one of the bath rooms and simply used a paper towel to wipe my weapon clean. "Funny I wonder whatthat sound is." I heard a slight beat that sounded ratehr familar to me. "I know that is the beat from the opening to cowboy bebop isn't it?"

A peron in the stall next to me spoke out. "That is fom the nut craker dumb shit." I looked at the stall once more, okay the question is should I really kill some one while tehre in the stall? No probably not, I'll let him live despite calling me a dumb shit.

I walked out and a few people ran by me screaming in terror. "Ah just another orindary day here at IOU." I looked down the ahll and couldn't see anything. I then looked at the walls and could see signs of damage. Hmm msut be going the other way. I began to walk away when I triped over a complete human skeleton. Stripped of all meat, but quite odviously recently alive.

"Well I guess some one should take you to the medic." I stood up and stepped over his body on the way out, when I heard crieing. I looked over and saw a young girl, perhaps in her freshthing year. "Whats wrong?"

'It killed him, the rat it ate him, but before hand it took his clothes.' Thats strange. Normaly crimes aren't comited for fashion reasons. "Well what was he wearing some sort of shiney jewelry?" 'No it killed, him for his tights.' I blinked. "Excuse me?" 'He was reherseing for the school play this week.' Okay this is a little odd.

 

[hybirdx]

While the whole meep chaos occured, Jamie slipped out of the caferiteria and back into his dormroom to grab his sword, and cannon gloves. "I'm gonna need these to survive this place." Before Jamie left his room, he grabed his goggles and placed them on his fore head.

All the while he was walking back to the cafereteria, the young assasin saw students run like scared dogs with their tails between theirlegs. "Hmm, I guess the food came to life or something."

Jaime opened the door to the caferiteria and notice that it was completely empty. "Ooooookay...." He glanced around the desolent room, and saw that there was obviously a battle between something human, and something redent like. "I hope meeps can't transform..." Jamie quickly dropped that thought as he saw the same person from the table earlier. "Hey, what the hell happened here/'

 

[cats]

OOC: Hy I am outside a dorm room and it's hours latter. Don't worry though a well placed wormhole brought on by an evil snail, bent on world domination and everything is fine.

IC: I walked out of the dorm room, looking for what was going around terrorizeing the students today. Not really because I had to, or because it was the right thing, or any of that bull shit but because a cute girl was crying and I had a beter chance of geting laid if I did. Ah the things I do in life for sex.

There was a sudden bright flash of light and then the last guy to join our table at lunch was here. He looked a little disorinted and dazed. I considered asking but then relised where I was and considered it pointless.

'Hey, what the hell happened here?' "I really don't know how come you got here, but that doesn't really mater. Something playing loud music and discribed as a Rat is eating students and takeing tehre clothing."

I could see campous security run by and dive behind bushes , walls, and otehr asorted objects. "Looks like the security is useing stragey three. Hide and hope some one else gets eaten." I looked around and saw nothing but began to here the faint sound of music, a familar tune from Elvis. I ducked behind a bench next to a security gaurd. To get a veiw at my foe and decide if it really was beter to run.

'Oh no, I can hear the Rat King theme from the nut craker. It's Him!' The security gaurd reverted to his primary stragey and ran as fast as he could. I squinted my eyes to make out the fiend, a danceing gaint rat wearing what I imagined to be the stolen tights.

"You got to be kidding me."

 

[hybirdx]

Jamie followed suit a dove behind the bench just like the student before him. He didn't care about what the rat looked like, or how strong he looked, he was always taught to scout his enemy out before anything else. "Hey wait..." Jamie looked up from the bench seeing that the girl was too busy crying that she didn't notice the music. "What are you doing!? Hide!"

Jamie groaned as he shot up, grabed the girl, and pushed her down behind the bench. "Hey, have you ever heard of this, 'Rat King'?"

 

[Vixandra]

Ari

"Its amazing how the little things, that other take for granted, can be so fun," I mused aloud. At Hellions quizzical look I went on. "Really, most 'normally' raised kids would find nothing strange with this situation. In all honesty, this is the first 'date' I've ever been on. Master didn't allow me to run off unsupervised with the crew members of the ships we worked on. In hindsight, that was a good thing, but at the time I didn't understand it. Its such a dramatic change, you know? What am I saying, of course you know what I mean. Being trapped in a temple as a battery... I can't imagine that. Least I liked my Master, he was good to me, taught me a lot."
I took a few more bites. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't bring up things that pain you. I don't know you well enough for such things, and even if I did, I wouldn't want to cause you pain from remembering such things."

 

[The GrandMage]

Hellion "James" McKimble

He grunted. "No, the Temple was what took me in when I got to this planet. Decent people, if crazy. Of course, insanity usually holds the greatest genius. Not that I'm trying to make excuses for them, because they were loony."

He chuckled to himself, "No, Him-Without-A-Name may have acted like a God, but you'd be hard pressed to find a Temple to him on any world."

He smiled. "And don't worry about my past. It's what it is: the past. Can't go on with life if we worry too much about the past."

He ate a little more, and smiled. "But I'm glad you're enjoying yourself, I'm enjoying this a lot, too. So, how are you finding campus life so far? You seem to be taking things rather well, considering the chaos and insanity around the place."

 

[Vixandra]

Ari

I laughed. "When you're used to fighting through meteor showers, arguing with talking ship-cats, and having to play nice to the Space faring Pembroke Corgi's, you learn to deal with a lot of insanities. Here, well other then having bullets flying at me that aren't trying to me is odd, but not the worst I've seen."
I finished my pasta. "But the, I've yet to die, so can't really comment on the full spectrum of campus life. Other then that, I rather like campus life. My time is my own, my life is my own. Its unique to me and I'm loving it."

IC: 'have you heard of this rat king?' "Hmm... good question. Yes if I am not msitaken he is in Homer's great play, the Nut craker isn't he?" I looked back over at the danceing rodent.

Okay now typicaly I'd get around behind it but in all honesty how much of a trheat can something like that be? I stand up draw my sword and walk over to him. A quick stab and this is over, makes you wodner why no one else has done it. maybe they are in the habit of runing.

I was now with in five feet of him, and rushing forward to make a quick end of this. My blade quickly moved towards the regal rodent. Then I dropped it and covered my nose. "My god wahst is that smell!" I swear it's like rotten meat, old brocloi, and bad cheese; no wait it smells worse then that and I showed know that was a meal last week. I found a furry rodent foot kicking me in the head as the rodent twisted and went for a gracefull hop. I tumbled forward trying to keep my mouth and nose covered the best I could to keep the stench from invadeing my taste. I began to scower away on my hands and feet when the rodent headed me off at the past. "I'm going to have to soak for a week."

 

[hybirdx]

"Aw damnit!" Jaime stood up and looked at the girl, "stay here!" The Assasin leaped over bench and charged torwards the rat, as soon as he got close enough, he jumped into the air and pulled his fist back. "Damn rats!"

Jamie's leap put him right above the dancing rat, a perfect position for a quick punch to a sensitive spot Taoist avoided unless they wanted to kill, and if Jamie's therory was correct, al mamalls had it. "Say good night ya over grown... GUU!!!"

Jamie instantly droped to the ground, unable to keep his air territory as the stench hit. The Rat King noticed as jumped into the air, front fliped, and had the heel of his stinking foot colide with Jamie's nose. Jaime quickly scrambled away, his nose shatter by the stench alone. "Hol-ly shit! This guy must be bathing in old caferiteria food!"
