Jasmine: also I baked you something*heads to the kitchen and brings back a cake with the words congradulations*
Pico:its nice Jasmine but I didn't advance.
Jasmine: So? we still had fun watching you. you showed a tremendous ammount of skill and earned it for giving it your all. now come on what do you say?*smiles*
*Several slices later*
Pico:*eating the cake*
Mia: …Pico I'd like to apologize.
Pico:*stops for a moment*what for?
Mia:Well, I basicly messed with your head and promised you "somthing" should you have won and it was wrong of me to do so. That's not what a relatioship is about. can you ever forgive me?
Mia: *rolls her eyes*only a little every now and again. *Yawns as she takes him to is room and lies down beside him* hey pico.
Pico: yeah?
Mia: no matter what you'll always be a winner in my eyes.
Pico: thanks Mia.
*the 2 kiss one more time bfore falling asleep together. Jasmine gets the lights and lies right beside pico*
*elsewhere*
SB:*looks over the arena* dang they left a mess good thing this floor cleans itself up*heads to the back* and these 2 well, they'll be fine by morning*takes Morphblade to his room and heads back to move DN to a proper place to rest* Now to go and finish up some loose ends.*heads to his office*
- In Snow & Val's quarters at the breakfast table a lush variety of meals is taken in in an unusual quiet atmosphere. -
Val: … Today is the finale.
Snow: Indeed. *silence*
Val: … Will you wish me luck?
Snow: I will. *silence*
Val: … Do you think I'll win?
Snow: Time will tell. *silence*
Val: … *puts down fork and knife loudly and with a bit of anger* Okay, something's on your mind, what's up?
Snow: … *he sighs and follows her example more carefully* It's not like I don't give you your victory over Pico. Neither am I implying you didn't deserve it. But… wasn't it a bit mean? You didn't give him the chance to power up or use his more advanced tactics, let alone change to his demonic form. Morphblade gave DN that bit of time too, you know.
Val: *frowns* So you are saying you wanted me to lose. Pico changed to his demonic form, I would've been out. I'm not Morphblade, Snow.
Snow: Okay, then let's drop the demonic form. What about his teleportation? Flaming Fury? Aura Sphere? … Maybe I'm taking this the wrong direction. It just seemed like you were ready to walk over corpses to win. Isn't this whole tournament supposed to bring spectators and competitors as much entertainment as possible?
Val: *looks at him, her mouth agape in disbelief* … You're- *she interrupts herself as the anger comes back* Okay, you know what, forget it. I'm full. *stands up despite her plate still being half full, and walks over to the door* I'll head over to the arena.
Snow: *stands up as well* Val, I didn- *the door slams shut* … *he stares at the door for a few seconds, trying to digest what just happened, then falls back to his seat in depression*
Torvek: (this looks…decidedly decent today. I’m going to need to buff up the barrier a little bit, but I think it should hold.) *looks over and sees Val enter the arena.* (the moot question be asked; did she ever join my side of her own device or did she plan to turn from the start and never got the chance? doesn’t really matter, Snow was the one making the decisions and it only makes sense for them to return to Zot after my failure, regardless of the original intent.) *Torvek steps down from his High chair letting it meld with the floor as he approaches Val.* “you know, it’s rather therapeutic to watch you beat the stuffing out of my former foes. Didn’t think it would be but, you know, guilty pleasure. So, has SB given Claire her 24-hour get-out-of-jail-free-card yet?”
Torvek: “a stone, quite innocuous realy. If Claire were to swallow it than she would be protected from the chance of her Nachzehrer gaining control for about a day. Admittedly, Ink only sent one but he assures me that Shadowblade received it. I assumed that he had already given it to Claire; is that not the case?” *he says all of this while inspecting a slight tear on his coat; his words droll and disinterested.*
SB:annnnddd… done. now to head down to the arean to see what all needs improvement*one portal later* ok now then*looks in on Val and Torvek*…they're having a chat? (oh its about the stone that's no good best go and do my job) *heads over to the 2*No I did not give it to Claire yet. 2 reasons. the first being I was going to ask you if you guys could possibly make more. like a pill set the other being there's a time and place for everything…also I kind of let it slip my mind. Sorry for the interuption. just thought I'd check upon the arena.*looks around* mmm needs more time… welp I'm off to do a thing, later!*portals out to another place*
Val:(…doesn't he know there are times he doesn't need to be everywhere?)
Torvek: *Looks directly at Val with an odd mix of irritation and concern.* (something isn’t quite right here. It’s probably nothing or at worst a social issue but at least it will help cure my boredom) “would you give me a moment?” *he asks Val before he focuses and projects a conscious illusion next to SB.* “right then.” *both Torveks says in sterio. Then the illusion speaks to SB while the real one remains with Val*
Torvek, Ilusion: “alright, allow me to answer your questions. Although Ink could make more, he refuses to due to the possible consequences with the heavenly court and all that. He would probably also say some nonsense about how it dilutes the conflict and the story as a whole. Anyway, the arena is fine; it already repaired itself. Anything else you wish to discuss?”
Torvek: *he waits a moment, just looking at her before asking.* “okay, what’s the matter? Don’t bother with any of that ‘none of your business' stuff either, we are both well beyond that stage.” *his green eyes show an unfamiliar emotion; genuine concern.* “as unlikely as is, you’re standing next to victory in this trite tournament. How can I help you?”
SB:*turns to the illusion as he goes down the hall to deliver the pill* there are some, however I doubt you could answer them all at once. There is something I need you to do for me though I'm sure Ink will say no upon request. *knocks on Claire's door*
Claire:oh hey, something up?
SB: yes. Ink sends his greetings and gave me a pill meant for you to seal off the Nachzehrer for one day.
Claire: and you didn't give this to me eariler why?
SB:slipped my mind. remember its only a time deal.
Claire:(fuckin idiot…still a day to be normal doesn't sound so bad)tell Ink I send my thanks.*closes the door*
SB:*walks away* anyway like I was saying if posible I need you to do me something. I'm headed back up I just need to make one quick stop first.*one portal later* Doc. Claire has a pill from Ink do not mess with it or it'll kill us all.
Doc: oh I know you told me last time about the darn thing. There's a diffrence between madness and stupidity. …reminder?
SB: reminder.
Doc: alright then take care.
*phone rings*
SB:(of course) I'll be a bit longer than I thought.
Torvek: “I’ll be honest; I wouldn’t be here if I had a choice.” *he says with a roll of his eyes* “Still, regardless of how I feel about this festival of dick-measuring, it is clearly very important to you and I respect that. This is your chance for greatness; to show everyone how much stronger you’ve gotten. I’m not saying that your opponents don’t deserve—er, that you shouldn’t give it your all. But remember that when this is over they are your friends. He’s probably worried that you are putting this tournament before them.” *torvek explains calmly with empathy.* “we can’t–shouldn’t change the past, but we can work toward a better future and learn from our experiences.”
Val: *sigh* You're probably right. I shouldn't put winning above everything else… It's so mean, I see so much egoism here every day, it's all around! There I allow myself to be an egoist ONE time, but all it's done is making me feel bad for it… *takes a breath* Guess I should go apologize to Pico, hm?
pico:YAH!*a loud noise could be heard from the training room as pico destroyed 4 robots at once* demonicpico:(still angry about yesturday i see..) pico:(…..) biopico:(leave him alone your just mad he didnt use you in battle pico:…if i did she would of been killed guys…
Torvek: *snort* “I’m not trying tell you what to do or even give advice; merely perspective and some comfort. If you think that apologizing to Pico is the thing to do, than go for it.” *leans in close and conspirtorily.* “you know, if there is too much egoism at Zot or you just don’t like it here, you can leave. You are strong; you could change the world if you wanted to. Think about it.”
Val: Physical power doesn't do it. There's got to be more to someone than that to change anything, you should know that. What I'm saying is, I would have never stayed with you. Misusing your power to cause change is like stubbing out your cigarette on a kid to teach it not to smoke… Still, thanks for lending me your ear. *without waiting for a response, she walks off* (Now to search for Pico… Knowing him he's either in his quarters or on the training field. Considering how things went yesterday, I know where I have to look first.) *she enters the training area and sees Pico going at it* (Oh boy…) *gulp* (I- … can just as well apologize later.)
