Chapter 16. Holding out for a home life

[thebestseller]

Man-twin, pack up your bags. I, among others, have joined the elite ranks of the Guides and now have the illustrious job of welcoming naked people to this crazy hippie commune.

Which means we now get CUSHY SECTION 4 DIGS. Heat. Air. SPACE in which you can conduct your science and play with your star-friend. Let's get going already and into the lap of luxury.

[Hastily added in.]

Boss. Buddy. Pal. Section 4 only has two bedrooms, I'm afraid. So unless you like couches...

Your ego still needs to fit into Section 4. Hey does this make you the 1337?

I can come visit you at your job sometime right? Just to see how my man-twin is coping with the rampant nakedness?

[Or you know steal a cocoon]

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, okay. I'll deflate it a little bit to fit inside our new house.

... yeah, I pretty much am 1337. I'll be guarded whule on duty and everything.

'course you can.

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

You know I just realized something. I have to repaint the walls in my room. Aw man!

Sweet!

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

OK, I am not going to do the "told you so" dance.

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

Shut up and help me paint.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Anything for you, dearest brother.

[ooc: A little while later he comes back to this comment after talking with Grift]

Ah Derrick? Do you by any chance remember if you know how to fire a gun?

PING PING PING PING PING

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Fire a gun...

Never tried to before, but it sounds familiar. One of those things I think I should know except I don't know.

:)

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure I don't but--I think you should learn to. ASAP.

Also maybe some ninja moves from Bell and Youth.

\o/ Threadjacking everywhere wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[spandexisyouth]

Yes! We should have the training day!

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

You just want to see me drown.

[spandexisyouth]

We will not let you drown. I have told you this.

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

Joking, man-friend.

But I am serious about teaching Derrick stuff. I didn't realize it but...there's nothing to say that the ninjas won't be back right?

Struck out when he's judged that Genius had enough time to read

[spandexisyouth]

There is nothing. And we did not defeat enough. Many died. And the ninja vanished upon death, leaving clothes behind. That was not normal for the Sphere.

Genius. All of our group except the ninja are in the fourth section now. You are a section apart from us, an elevator ride away. What if that was on purpose? Bell or I or even Lotus would be delayed in getting to you to back you, Derrick, and Fred up.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

I'll watch Derrick during his hatchery duty. I can schedule myself during his shifts.

As for the 4th sector... Unless Derrick wants to offer us one of the beds and you sleep on the couch, Genius, I can't say what should be done there. We do appear to be split up, and we'll just have to accommodate for that.

Now, Youth, stop scaring him.

[spandexisyouth]

Good.

I do not think that is a good option, because that leaves Lotus out as well as putting Genius on a couch. Between Scavenging and patrolling for the Watch I do not have much time to guard, and my patrol is Captain Planet.

I am sorry. I did not mean to.

Getting their paranoia on! WOOHOO!

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

Vanished? That's definitely not normal.

Oh God. I didn't think about--you think so? I forgot Fred's moving too, with Innovator right? That's--not good. But it's Derrick, nobody has really gone after him, not like how Toushi has his eyes on me...it's gotta be a coincidence right?


...Right?

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

I'm protected by two Guards at all times.

Guess it couldn't hurt, though.

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

If we're moving into Section 4 we should.

I need an icon of Derrick with a gun now XD

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Right. Let's stop by the weapons stall this week, then.

[live_ringer]

Ever been to the Range before?

PING PING PING again

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Range... no. Didn't even know we had one.

Hee

[live_ringer]

Yup, right on Melee Island.

If you do decide to pick up a gun I can show you around, not that there's that much to it.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking gun would be the best option. I'm even more liable to hurt myself with anything else.

Appreciate it.

[live_ringer]

It's hard to go wrong with them, true.

Not a problem.
