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...

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

PING PING PING PING PING

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.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Well, if this became something we had to do, we would bring Lotus along and we could camp out on their floor. Guard is my duty, not yours; you do your jobs and I'll handle mine. It's not your job to protect everyone, Youth.


It's fine. It's not hard to do.

[spandexisyouth]

Is there another way to get into the 4th Section? I only know about Hatchery Guides. It is the job of a friend to protect friends. Especially when I have skills that they do not.

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?

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

It is coincidence, yes.

Youth fails at lying...

[spandexisyouth]

They only left clothes.

I am sorry. Bell is right. It must be coincidence. I am sure. Mostly. Partly. But it probably is.

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

You guys suck at lying.

[spandexisyouth]

He is not lying!

[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.
