[ Sulfataska Mountains - Inside the Blimp ]

Selrin yawns widely, the vision of ultimate boredom. She's slung herself on one side of the room, arm lazily dangling from the side of her little ledge, looking about ready to fall asleep.

Raitzeno paces around the interior of the blimp, easily as bored as the woman he's been trying to keep a watch on, but with even less ability to stay still.

Kamek has arrived through the Koopa blimp.

Kamek says 'Good morning, my dear princess. Are you doing well?'

Roy stands up at Kamek's entrance. "Good, you're back. What's goin' on? I'm tired of waiting around up here when nothing's happening!"

Selrin mutters noncommitally, tossing a sideways glance at Kamek. She seems a little pale(well, paler than usual), but other than that, the only thing afflicting her is a horribly idle mind.

Kamek glares at Roy.

Kamek says 'I'll have you know that I just executed that lousy traitor in Truce!'

Kamek says 'You can sit here and wait. Impatient! That's what happens when you're spoiled by the King.'

Kamek mutters to himself.

Kamek says 'And... princess, I think I know exactly what you need.'

Kamek gives you a piece of jerky.

Roy says 'Spoiled?! I oughta..!' He stops, and reconsiders, backing off.'

Raitzeno quietly plays a game of solitaire in his internal processors, and cheats horribly.

Selrin perks up a little, pushing herself up to half-sitting and takes the bit of food. A shrug, and she mindlessly demolishes the thing, not looking any better or worse from it.

Kamek says 'See! Much better.'

You say 'Mnn...'

Kamek looks pleased with himself.

Selrin flops back down on her makeshift bed, sighing.

Kamek twiddles his thumbs.

Raitzeno attempts to start up a conversation with Roy. 'So... whose ass do we kick next?'

Roy grunts. "Yeah, what's the plan? You came up here for a reason, didn't ya?"

Kamek says 'Of course I had a reason!'

Kamek says 'A very good reason!'

Someone steps into the blimp exit.

Kamek says 'I've begun to think that Truce is getting to be too big of a problem.'

Selrin pays little to no mind to the conversation, staring blankly at the fabricated(ouch) ceiling...

Kamek says 'Roy, how much firepower does this wreck of a blimp have?'

Roy says 'Hah! More than you'd need to turn a little backwoods town like that into a crater, why?'

Kamek cackles with delight.

Kamek says 'Bowser will certainly approve! We will demolish that town and its ugly people.'

Raitzeno says 'I dunno... shouldn't we loot it first or something? I hear there's at least decent pickings...'

Kamek glances at Raitzeno

Selrin suddenly realizes what's being said and sits up, staring at Kamek in a fair amount of distress. "Wait, you're blowing up Truce?"

Roy says 'Pfft, what are you, poor? We don't need anything they got!'

Raitzeno says 'And it looks more badass that way, like we're not afraid of any puny resistances they have. We just waltz in, take what we want, leave, and then ruin their shit.'

Kamek says 'Hmm.'

Kamek says 'And Princess, you have nothing to worry about! We will erect a magnificent castle on top of Truce. You will love it.'

Kamek says 'As for looting...'

Kamek says 'You may have a point.'

Kamek says 'We are desperately short on materials.'

Roy snorts and scowls. "You heard what he said the first time, lets burn it to the ground! If anything's left, you can just take that."

Selrin tenses visibly, trying to deal with a sudden immense weight that's been thrown on her shoulders. "Well... We don't have to -destroy- it totally, do we? I mean, it's not that bad a town, and there's barely any guards there at all!"

You say 'And even if there were, someone of your might and authority could easily just tell them to do your wicked bidding, right?'

Kamek says 'With Larry's base destroyed, we put to waste a ton of materials.... we can't even finish the wedding chapel as it is now.'

Kamek says 'Princess, you have no idea how utterly...'

Kamek takes care to enunciate the next syllable...

Kamek says 'ANNOYING the people of Truce are!'

Kamek says 'It is almost impossible to deal with them.'

Raitzeno says 'Heh, yeah. But they've got some cool crap we can gank.'

Kamek says 'Hmm.'

Roy has a flash of genius. "How about, we take their stuff, /then/ blow them up!"

Kamek points at Roy accusingly.

Kamek says 'Brilliant!'

Kamek says 'Especially from you. I'm surprised.'

Roy beams a toothy smile.

Kamek looks noticably uncomfortable all of a sudden.

Raitzeno almost protests that that was what he said in the first place, but decides against it...

Kamek says 'It's awfully stuffy in here. I'm stepping outside.'

Selrin grumbles and lets her head fall in her hands... and apparently in doing this, another fantastically random idea hits her... "Wait!"

Kamek says 'Tell me outside!'

Kamek steps into the blimp exit.

Selrin stands forcefully and starts to storm out after Kamek...

Roy steps in front of the blimp exit. "I don't think you're supposed to leave!"

Roy casts a glance at Raitz, as if to say 'Right?'.

Raitzeno nods in agreement to Roy.

Selrin growls and jabs an oddly clawed finger at Roy. "I'm the Princess, dammit, I can do whatever I want! And..." She leans in close, smirking and whispering, "I could basically kill you in about five seconds if I need to."

Raitzeno sends a sharp glance at the suddenly violent Princess.

You say 'Now if you'll be so kind, I need to scream stuff at your boss!'

Roy's eyes widen, and he steps right aside.

Selrin grins happily and bows, hopping outside...

[ Sulfataska Mountains - The Koopa Base ]

Kamek takes a deep breath of fresh air.

Kamek says 'Ah... exhilirating!'

Kamek coughs loudly.

Selrin lands on the ground from who knows how high on one knee, immediately pushing herself to stand and Dramatically Pointing at Kamek.

You say 'As the Princess, I'm ordering you to not blow up Truce!'

Kamek throws back his head and cackles with insane glee!

Kamek says 'That's cute! Very cute! The acrobatics were impressive, and ordering me around moreso!'

Someone has arrived from the nw.

Someone leaves nw.

Kamek says 'I'll have you kno --- what?'

Kamek yells 'Intruder!'

Roy has arrived through the blimp exit.

Roy says 'What, who's here?!'

Kamek yells 'Nevermind!'

Roy grunts. "You sure? I heard somethin' moving around."

Kamek says 'Did you? Hmm.'

Selrin blinks, totally lost for about five seconds, then shakes her head and continues pointing. "Yeah, well, you might be some high and mighty mage..er... -thing-, but I still say you shouldn't make Truce go 'splody!"

Kamek says 'Princess, I appreciate your input, but I have some work to do...'

Kamek says 'Lemmy told us something about this.'

Kamek says 'There are spies that have been lurking about.'

Kamek says 'And...'

Kamek utters the words, 'oculoinfra uizug'.

Kamek says 'Let's take a look.'

Roy raises an eyebrow under his sunglasses. "Oh yeah? How'd he know?"

Selrin huffs and starts to walk back towards the blimp, pausing to turn around and cross her arms. "Promise me!"

Raitzeno yells 'So? Is there an intruder or not?'

Someone yells 'No intruder.'

Kamek says 'Princess, complain to Bowser if you want!'

Kamek says 'Not like he'll listen to you!'

Kamek throws back his head and cackles with insane glee!

Kamek yells 'Maybe!'

Kamek yells 'Come down here!'

Raitzeno yells 'On my way.'

Kamek yells 'We're going to patrol, and stop making my throat hoarse!'

Kamek coughs loudly.

Raitzeno has arrived through the blimp exit.

Selrin growls and leaps back up into the blimp irritably...

Roy peers around.

[ Sulfataska Mountains - Inside the Blimp ]

Selrin mutters and flops down on her side of the room again, crossing her arms and glaring outside. "Stupid freakin'..."

Kamek yells 'INTRUDERS!'

Selrin slouches forward, her annoyance subsiding in place of worry. /Truce... That's where it all happened. And now it's just going to go up in flames?/

Tyro yawns.

Selrin sighs, drawing her arms closer to herself and straightening her posture. /Master Seikou... everyone... Is it just going to end like that?/

Raitzeno has arrived through the Koopa blimp.

Raitzeno says 'You doin' okay in here?'

Selrin perks up, then nods solemnly. "Yeah, I guess."

Kamek yells 'Roy! New guy! Help!'

Raitzeno says 'Just checkin'. Kamek's goin' nuts with these false alarms. The only intruders we can find are the bats in his belf- Wha?'

Raitzeno hurries out the door

Selrin stands and peers outside, jumping out soon after surveying the scene...

[ Sulfataska Mountains - The Koopa Base ]

Roy says 'Who, I don't see nobody, what's goin' on here?'

Someone looks around, and uses another tractor beam spell to grasp the remains of the Bullet Bills. "HI GUYS! CATCH!" THese are thrown at Rait and Roy!

Kamek points at Someone accusingly.

Kamek says 'Here's what you do, morons! Tackle the seemingly empty air in front of me!'

Kamek says 'Just do it!'

Kamek says 'I assure you, something quite alive is over there!'

Someone flees swiftly, heading for the entrance of the building. One he gets there, he stops for a moment, readying a Shockwave Gun...

Selrin blinks in utter confusion, watching the fight against... nothing?

Raitzeno does a quarter spin-leap to avoid the stuff, turning it into a shoulder tackle at empty air!

Roy pulls his head and limbs in his shell, deflecting most of the bits. His shell starts spinning wildly, spikes facing outwards!

Someone stumbles slightly to avvoid Raitz' tackle, and takes a large detour around Roy's shell. THEN readies a Shockwave Gun.

Raitzeno takes a BB shard in the shoulder, his quarter-turn turning into an uncontrolled spin, sending him off-course and off-balance, directly into a tree.

Kamek says 'Incompetence!'

Roy circles around, trying to cover as much area as possible with his personal spikiness.

Raitzeno growls, stands, and removes the shiv from his shoulder. 'Kamek, sir! Point me at 'im!'

Someone takes aim at the cieling over Kamek, and fires a single parting shot.

Someone snickers, leaping backwards and invsing mid-leap. His mocking voice echos about. "You would be quite familer with incompetence, wouldn't you old boy?" He'd back up towards the (mountain?).

Raitzeno tries another flying tackle at the last seen position of the intruder...

Kamek says 'New plan!'

Selrin just kind of stands there, jumping out of Roy's way whenever appropriate..

Roy stops himself and stands. "How do you expect me to do anything when I can't see anyone?!"

Someone takes a quick parting shot at Raitzeno. <<Now you be bloody careful, Sunny! We can't spare wizards at this point!>>

Someone gives a slight wave at Kamek with an evil grin as he continues to climb backwards up the mountain. <<Just shut up and get out of here. I'll be fine.>>

Someone points at a Shockwave Gun in his inventory.

Kamek points at Roy accusingly.

Kamek says 'You need new glasses!'

Kamek says 'Maybe if you didn't wear dark sunglasses in broad daylight, you could see!'

Someone utters the words, 'oculoinfra uizug'.

Roy lifts his glasses up for a second, and looks around without them. "I can see just fine with them on!"

Raitzeno half-dodges the blast, not quite making it. His back slams into another tree, and his arm comes right off.

Someone makes it safely over the mountain to the moogle cave entrance?

Raitzeno swears and curses for a few moments before awkwardly grabbing his arm with the other and reattaching it.

Someone sneaks out of the area, back towards the blimp landing site. <<Good work...>>

Kamek says 'Alright! Out of here!'

Kamek says 'I'll burn this place to cinders!'

Selrin yelps and hightails it out before the burnination starts!

[ Sulfataska Mountains - The Koopa Base ]

Roy has arrived from the south.

Someone says '<<All right. Idiot. Heheh... let's move!>>'

Kamek yells 'Ahahahaha! *cough* *sputter*'

Kamek has arrived from the south.

Kamek nods.

Kamek says 'That should take care of them!'

Roy says 'Got 'em, this time?'

Selrin peers back southward, making a face. "Excessive, much?"

Raitzeno yells 'Is it over?'

Kamek says 'Unfortunately, the foundations of the chapel were burned up...'

Kamek says 'But that's fine! We will make a better one!'

Kamek coughs loudly.

Roy grunts. "Dad's not gonna like that.."

Selrin keeps an unrivaled cheer to herself, putting on a disappointed air. "Aw, and you must've been working so hard~..."

Kamek says 'Enough about Lord Bowser. Why don't you just take the Princess back to the blimp?'

Kamek steps into the Koopa blimp.

Roy nods, looking at the princess. "You heard him, come on!" He steps aside, letting the princess go first.

Selrin shrugs and does her little high-jump trick into the blimp again with little to no effort.

[ Sulfataska Mountains - Inside the Blimp ]

Kamek points at Raitzeno accusingly.

Kamek says 'New guy!'

Kamek says 'I have a job for you.'

Raitzeno says 'Yes sir?'

Raitzeno salutes smartly.

Kamek says 'It seems that half of our base got burned down somehow.'

Kamek says 'The details... irrelevant!'

Raitzeno opens his mouth, then snaps it shut.

Kamek says 'But now is a chance to see if you were right about Truce.'

Roy casts a sidelong glance at Kamek.

Kamek says 'We need building supplies.'

Kamek says 'Go to Truce and bring back wood! Tools! You know, things like that.'

Kamek says 'Now...'

Kamek says 'We will see if it is worth subjugating them rather than destroying them.'

Raitzeno salutes and says 'Yes sir! Of course sir!'

Kamek says 'If you can bring back materials, then it might not be in our best interests to destroy them.'

Roy snorts. "I still doubt it.."

Kamek says 'Otherwise...'

Raitzeno says 'Umm... when do I need to be back by? Like is important stuff starting soon?'

Kamek gestures wildly while making explosion-sounds.

Kamek says 'Kablammo! Goodbye, Truce.'

Kamek says 'Of course it's important! What do you take me for?'

Kamek says 'Take a day or two.'

Selrin settles on 'her' part of the blimp room, huddling against herself again. /C'mon... Bring back -something-, anything!/

Kamek says 'No more!'

Raitzeno says 'Understood, sir!'

Raitzeno salutes smartly.

Kamek throws back his head and cackles with insane glee!

Raitzeno steps into the blimp exit.

Kamek says 'And now... I need a nap!'
