Sceldrant's Comet, page 62
Luna: "How can a ruler believe somethin' so out of it."
Grey: "Yohoho."
Luna: "Yohohoh?" *She leant back slightly surprised by Grey's laugh.*
Grey: "I've seen things, know of things. I wouldn't put it past me about there being other worlds."
*Twortz, Lezard and Rachael suddenly warped into the grassy field, causing Grey to wave them towards the table.*
Rachael: "Where are we?" *She looked slightly ill.*
Lezard: "You think the ruler of The Agoura Marbles wouldn't have Reality Marbles of his own?"
Twortz: *She looked up, shaking her head in wonder.* "It's amazing, really."
Grey: "Ah, is this everyone?"
Trevour: "Yes, your majesty."
Grey: "How is the situation, Ordin?"
Ordin: "Despite the usual amount of life threatening casualties from The Agoura Marbles, fifteen unclassified deaths have been reported."
Grey: "From that Black Brigade member?"
Ordin: "Yes. He infiltrated The Hall of Oats after the sign ups-"
Rachael: "Wait, how can you talk about the deaths so easily?"
Grey: *The glyph rotated, causing him to face Rachael.* "Upon accepting a number, the contestants are told of the consequences involved when participating."
Rachael: "Well, I wasn't told any of this."
Grey: "Yet, you always had the option of removing yourself from the very start."
Rachael: "True."
Ordin: "We currently don't know his location, but we are certain he's no longer in the city."
Grey: "How did he get in the city in the first place?"
Ordin: "We believe it's through a teleportation glyph from one of the small imperial hideouts."
Grey: (I see.)
Ordin: "I will inform you if we learn anything else."
Grey: "Excellent."
Ordin: *He nodded his head.* "Other than that, your majesty, nothing else to report."
Nathan: *He looked at Luna, as if he wanted to say something.* "..."
Grey: "Who's hungry?"
Nathan: "Hungry?" *He looked up with boosted morale.*
Lezard: "Ooo, pick me, pick me!" *He giggled, waving his hand above his head.*
Trevour: *He tilted his head down, listening to his stomach rumble.* "Me too, heh heh."
Grey: *He clapped his hands, causing plates full of food to suddenly warp across the circular table.* "Now-"
Rachael: "Wow!" *She stared at the plates in amazement, noticing they all sat on different coloured glyphs.*
Nathan: "You never know of wealth until you experience it.." *He mumbled to himself in amazement.*
Grey: "Yohoho! One of you theoretically would have completed the games, so the feast is a celebration!"
Twortz: (Of course I would have.)
Karol: *He looked down at the tray of food, causing him to pout like a child.* "I-I dhon't like this-"
Ordin: (Seafood? Not interested-) *He reached over and tapped on a nearby dish, causing it to float off the table and into the circle.*
Trevour: *He watched the dish slide to the other side.* (Impressive. Having the ability to slide the dishes across the table breaks the con in having a circular based table-)
Ordin: "Man in the warrior's armour, pass me the dish on your left."
Trevour: "Of course, sir?" *He spoke in confusion and awkwardly nudged the dish, causing it to slide towards Ordin.*
Twortz: (The dishes slide like an air hockey-)
Lezard: "They're on glyphs, ah, I see!" *He clapped his hands and took several chicken legs off from a nearby sliding plate.* "Ooo, this is a mini-game in itself!"
Destiny: *She eyed a sliding dish of fish, causing Luna to awkwardly smile with a pout.* "Yeu?"
Luna: "Wateva." *She quickly grabbed several of the fish and placed it on an empty plate in front of her.*
Destiny: "Yeup." *She purred in appreciation and hopped off Luna's shoulder, suddenly stuffing her face in.*
Luna: (You must've been pretty hungry... Back on Earth.. I was pretty shit with looking after pets.. Not that you're a pet, aye.)
Twortz: "So, allow me to put it bluntly." *She spoke with a lack of concentration, as she filled her plate up with all sorts of foods.*
Trevour: *He nodded his head with anticipation, as if he was excited about the topic.* "I'm curious to know about your findings after using the research facility."
Twortz: "There were absolutely no results on anything from our world."
Trevour: *He lowered the food in his hands, placing them on his plate with a fading smile.* "Oh no-"
Luna: "Oh no is the half of it.." *She spoke with her head down.*
Nathan: (So they couldn't find anything?) *He silently thought to himself and shoved three thin steaks into his mouth.*
Rachael: "So the question is.."
Twortz: "What's happening now?"
Rachael: "Well-" *She looked at Karol and smiled.* "I want to help Karol find his family."
Karol: *He stopped eating and stared at Rachael with blushing cheeks.* "Waichael?"
Rachael: *She nodded her head.* "That's what I want to do."
Trevour: "I'd like to accompany Rachael and Karol on their adventures."
Rachael: "Trevour?"
Trevour: "Yes. As strange as it sounds, I feel safe with you around."
Lezard: "Ooo, pick me! I'm cool and I stick with the cool people." *He implied he wanted to join Rachael too.*
Rachael: "Hehe, you too, Lezard?"
Lezard: "Yuppers!"
Karol: (Wow..) *He thought to himself in disbelief, as if he wasn't expecting the friendly attitudes.*
Luna: "Pssht, I dunno wat I'm gonna do, aye.."
Rachael: "Why not get to know Destiny a little more?"
Luna: "Rachael?"
Rachael: "Yeah?"
Luna: "Shut up."
Rachael: "..."
Grey: *He looked at Twortz with a smile.* "And what are you going to do?"
Twortz: "I'm not entirely sure."
Rachael: "Stick with us?"
Twortz: "What about a source of income? What about food? A place to stay? What about The Black Brigade chasing after us?"
Rachael: "Don't worry about all that-"
Twortz: "Don't worry about all that? Do you hear yourself?" *She wiped her mouth and pushed away an empty plate.*
Grey: "There's no need to worry about that. I can offer accommodation-, ah! That reminds me, Ordin."
Ordin: "Yes." *He reached to his side and suddenly pulled forward, causing a pulse of sparks to scatter around a shiny green bangle.*
Rachael: "What is that?"
Grey: "That is the Purifying Oxident."
Rachael: "Purifying Oxident?"
Ordin: "It's the prize for winning the games."
Grey: "The same for Battling Oxident."
Twortz: *She slammed her hand on the table and shook her head.* "Am I honestly the only person that sees through adult tinted glasses?"
Lezard: "Eww, that sounds dirty-"
Twortz: "Shut up, you retarded twat!"
Lezard: "Ouchies-"
Rachael: "He's our friend, you shouldn't talk to him like that-"
Twortz: "Get off your high horse. He's your friend for starters, and-" *She formed a fist.* "You aren't the real Rachael."
Rachael: "Uhm?"
Luna: "Can I have wateva you're on?"
Twortz: "Shut up, you emo bitch."
Luna: "Fuck you-"
Destiny: "Yeuuuu." *She hissed and frizzed her fur in anger.*
Nathan: "..."
Lezard: "Well, this escalated quickly."
Trevour: "Twortz, please reconsider where your actions are obviously going-"
Twortz: *She looked at Trevour with a fading frown.* "You are the sanest person out of these people, come with me?"
Trevour: "I-I'm sorry, Twortz. I had already made up my mind a while ago-"
Twortz: "Fine." *She turned around and took a step forward.*
Ordin: "How disrespectful!" *His words caused Twortz to pause.* "Despite winning the games, he is the ruler-"
Twortz: "My apologies." *She stepped away from the table and suddenly warped out.*
Rachael: *She wiped her mouth with a white napkin and stood up.* "Sorry about her, she's probably stressed about not finding a way home."
Trevour: "That's probably it, your majesty. She's usually very clear minded and level headed."
Grey: "..." *He waved his hand off, as if he was giving Rachael permission to leave.*
Rachael: "I'll be back shortly." *She awkwardly bowed as if she didn't know what to do and turned around, jogging out of the Reality Marble.*
Nathan: *He awkwardly looked at Luna.* "You seem to be holding up fine?"
Luna: "I'm fine aye."
Destiny: "Yeup?" *She looked at Luna in confusion, as if she knew that was a lie.*
Luna: (I suffer behind the curtains..) *She sighed in thought and continued to eat.*
Lezard: "Well, what a delicious day we're having?" *He tried to change the subject and looked up to the sky.*
Trevour: "It's probably night time now."
Lezard: "Ooo? Doesn't anyone here like night time?"
Grey: "Yohoho."
----------
*Twortz ran out of the castle, causing the white doors to ripple around her.*
Twortz: *She looked up, noticing it was night.* (So it was night time? I thought it was always day-?)
Rachael: "Twortz!-" *She jogged out of the castle and towards Twortz.*
Twortz: *She sighed in frustration.* "Why did you follow me?!" *She shouted without looking back.*
Rachael: "What's up? Why did you leave?"
Twortz: "I'm done with this place-"
Rachael: "It's understandable you're upset, but you don't have to be a cow about it."
Twortz: "A cow?" *She stopped and glared ahead with growing anger.* "Is it because I'm fat?"
Rachael: "Fat? No. I'm not really a fan of swearing-"
Twortz: "Why don't you speak your mind to this cow?"
Rachael: "Really? Grow up-"
Twortz: *She angrily placed her hand over her shoulder.* "Now this cow needs to grow up?"
Rachael: *She noticed Twortz's hand.* "What, now you're threatening me?"
Twortz: "You're so feeble."
Rachael: "Feeble?" *She sounded confused, as if she didn't know what the word meant.* "I.. Thought we were friends?"
Twortz: "..."
Rachael: *She stared at Twortz's back.* "You said it yourself.. Don't you remember? You said.. I was one of the few people you would risk losing your job over, just by being my friend."
Twortz: *She frowned and held onto something, as if she was ready to release her violin.* "What happened in the past, is the past. People change."
Rachael: "People change? What a load of rubbish!"
Twortz: "A load of rubbish?" *She spoke in a condescending tone.* "Once again, listen to yourself! This isn't a pathetic fantasy game, Rachael Taylor!"
Rachael: *She formed emotional fists.* "You can't leave! You can't leave me here by myself!"
Twortz: "You have new stupid friends to associate yourself with now."
Rachael: "The truth is, we're friends, Twortz. I don't turn my back on my friends-"
Twortz: "Don't throw your moral book in my face.. Nobody likes that."
Rachael: ".. Aren't we friends?"
Twortz: "So naive, Rachael."
Rachael: (If that's the case..) *Her eyes started to water.* (How stupid am I-.. Twortz?)
Twortz: *She stared down the road-like path with an emotionless face.* "Nothing more to say?"
Rachael: (I don't know why.. I don't know why... But-...) "I can't bear the thought of you leaving by yourself-"
Twortz: "You can forget that stupid mind frame you have. This is reality, it's not some cartoon where we all hold hands and act like one big pathetic family."
Rachael: "Twortz-"
Twortz: "Sonic Rush." *She quickly turned around and swayed the violin, blowing a scattered shock wave at Rachael.*
Rachael: *She looked surprised and quickly kicked the ground, causing a rock pillar to erupt up in front of her, blocking the shock wave.* "Twortz?!"
*Rachael shouted in anger and swayed her hand to the side, causing the rock pillar to crumble away.*
Rachael: "What are you-?" *She stopped in mid-sentence and stared at Twortz who stood in the fading dirt cloud directly in front of her with a dagger already on the violin's strings.* (How did she move so-?)
Twortz: *She stared at Rachael with an emotionless face.* "Sacred scores, Lymph's Wave."
Rachael: "What Azure Burst is-?"
*Visible strings of sound echoed off the violin and slammed into Rachael's chest, cracking her ribs.*
Rachael: *She violently threw up what she ate beforehand and collapsed to her knees.* "When-?"
Twortz: *She held the violin in between her legs and formed a triangle with her fingers, blowing into them.* "Sonic Pulsar."
*Twortz screamed out a vortex of sound directly into Rachael's face, causing a yellow mucus to run out of her ears.*
Rachael: "My ears!" *She screamed at the top of her lungs even though it was masked by the fading violin sounds and Twortz's vortex.*
Twortz: "..." *She grabbed onto the violin and casually spun around, walking out of Rachael's sight.*
Rachael: "That's it.. There's no doubt about it.. She's serious about this.. She really means to.. Twortz.."
*Rachael moaned the last words and closed her eyes, slowly falling unconscious.*
Lezard: "Razzypoo? Grumble bum?" *He stepped out of the castle and noticed Rachael, lying on the ground, causing him to gasp.* "Everyone!"
