Well, crap. The whole flying almost removed the Persian's butt.
Now, instead of carrying her by the tail again, Watt decided to
drag her across the labyrinth by moving her with his body. He could
just call those idiots tho. Yep. Better ideia. He left Persian
there, and did the way to go back to the start AGAIN. Now, only to
find them.
"Sorry what was that? I couldn't hear you over your obvious fail
there." Cell finished up his knots and looked over what was
done so far. A pile of sheet-rope on one end and a smaller pile of
cut sheets on the other.
"Hey I'm gonna measure this 'kay K?" Without waiting for a
response, he pulled the completed end out of the room. The Lucario
wanted to see how far it'd go down the hall, and noted that it went
past two doors--so... Did that mean it was as long as two rooms? Or
a little longer than that?
He hoped he wasn't pulling it out of the Umbreon's grasp. It was a
small hope.
Then he heard slamming doors and groaned. "Couldn't he stay lost
down there?"
The sound of slamming doors got a certain Grumpig's attention.
Mistress did not look pleased as she left her private rooms,
heading for the central lobby first. As she saw that the platter of
food left at the entrance of the Labyrinth were partially touched,
she assumed that the current group of guests had returned.
That or Yang had suddenly decided that slamming doors was a great
form of exercise.
She made her way towards the sound, and soon found the Rotom.
Crossing her arms, she schooled her features into looking as stern
as she could.
Kya just remained in silence, he felt embarrased, he was so
stupid. How could he ever tie a knot? How was he even going to go
down that "rope ladder"
The Umbreon stood up and saw how Cell was tying to measure the
bedshewts, it was considerably long. But on the other side Watt had
already returned, and Kya hoped the rotom could at least tell them
how deep the pit was
"Oh it's nutin', just some cryptic message in this thing" he showed
the tablet again. He quickly took it in his hands, still unsure
whether or not this guy should be trusted, he didn't move it out of
his sight, just took it in case he needed to pull it away. He
started to feel small vibrations coming from outside, strange did
the rotom come back slamming the doors again? He didn't even notice
that he went out.
((For less than 48 hrs, unless you guys can get your characters to
meet up without interacting with NPCs and Cell :'D))
"Looks good, K. We'll rescue that Persian in no-time." Or some
time, hopefully. Turning his attention down the hall to where the
door slammer was, uh well, dorm slamming, Cell was
surprised that the Mistress had appeared. And she didn't look happy
whatsoever.
"Hey Watt, buddy, I think you gotta ix-nay on the slam-ey there.
Like seriously, calm down and take some deep breaths huh?" Geez
this second-hand embarassment. He might be suspicious of the
Mistress and Master, but acting out wasn't going to put them on
their best side he bet.
"Cryptic? Is it a riddle? Every riddle has an answer, in some
way or another." Yang canted his head towards the library's double
doors. As sound-proof as the room was, even he had noticed the same
vibrations that the Druddigon guest had felt. "I believe there is a
mess waiting for me to fix. Pardon me, sir."
He began to briskly walk out of the library, intent on finding the
noise-maker.
"If the Rotom's annoyance didn't kill it already" He said as
he looked towards the door slamming rotom. Just then he noticed the
not-happy-looking Grumpig. "Looks like Someone is going to have problems.. What do you
think she's gonna do?"
((sorry coding fail))
"Yeah…probably" he stared of into the distance before Yang opened
the doors leading the sound of a loud door slam into the library.
The druddigon sighed and put the book back where he found it, at
least he remembered exactly where it was this time, and opened the
doors outside, he swears this rotom is going to get a massive tail
in the face. On the contact with the…mistress? Is that what Yang
said? He gave her a bit of a bow, why in giratina's name was she
he- the sound of another door slamming told him why.
"UM...HI! DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS A PERSIAN DOWN ON THE
LABYRINTH! I WAS JUST SLAMMING THOSE DOORSS HERE AND THERE BECAUSE
I WANTED TO CALL THOSE NURDS TO GO ON THE LABYRINTH! OKAY!" Watt
says
(rip sorry for short post, theres litrally nothing that I can write
about)
"Yeah WE KNOW there's a Persian in the labyrinth, but unlike
you, we can't just fly down there, we need a plan" Kya pointed at the bed sheet rope extended on the hall. He
made sure to leave the "we know" part clear, so the rotom didn't
ignore it.
"I ALREADY DRAGGED THAT PERSIAN OUT OF THE HOLE. ALMOST LITERALLY
CUTTED HER BUTT OFF, BUT ATLEAST SHES NOT ON THE HOLE ANYMORE. THAT
IS, IF SHE WAKES UP AND FALLS AGAIN." Watt says
He did not just hear right, did this stupid ghost just say that he
rescued the Persian all on his own? What a load of crud. "You
almost took her butt off? What are you, an idiot?"
Wait, hadn't he already decided that was the likely case? No
back-tracking now. "Well why didn't you being her up here? Unless
you're gonna tell us you're a medical professional now or
something."
Which was doubtful. Very doubtful to the Lucario.
He also wondered when the Grumpig would speak. She'd been glaring
at the Rotom for a while now.
"You .. what?"Kya said, with a voice tone he could
barely listen. He didn't know what to think. The rotom was
indeed, stupid.
The Umbreon felt like an idiot too, he told Watt to go take
the persian out, he made him hurt it and he
was now responsible of the Persian's injuries..
"WELL, YOU MADE ME DRAG HER OUT OF THE HOLE! IM PRETTY SURE
THAT YOU COULD'T DO MUCH BETTER WITH YOUR EDGY FOX POWERS!!" Watt
yells "IM JUST GONNA DRAG HER BACK HERE! GOODBYE!" he yells and
flies back to the labyrinth door. Occasional combination, and there
is the fainted Persian. He started to carefully drag her body
across the labyrinth floor.
Kya watched as the rotom left.. he hated to admit it, but
Watt was right..
IT WAS HIS FAULT
The Umbreon felt as anger rised all through out his body. He then
took one of the bed sheets and tried to untie it.. aghh his paws.
Kya cut it with his claws and told Cell "Let's go down there, before Watt actually kills her"
"Yeah I'm sure he held you at claw-point and forced ya to drag her
out!" Cell shouted at the Rotom's retreating figure. Like
own up to it, you mess someone up, why put the blame on someone
else?
Grabbing the rope ladder and bunching it up in his arms, he
snorted. "Yeah I think it might be a little late for that. It's
gonna be a pain to bury her dead body though."
Actually, the Persian was no longer there. Guess you shouldn't
just leave unconscious Pokémon around in a dangerous Labyrinth.
There was no blood trail or anything to show where the Persian had
gone. This was not good.
"Yeah.. that sure helps"
Bury the dead body, really? Kya took his piece of bed sheet , went to the stairs and
started going down the stairs towards the Labyrinth's door. He
glanced back to Cell, but found instead the probably furious
Grumpig.
"Hey--HEY I'm not...done yet." Cell finished lamely as
K-something just ran off. The rope ladder wasn't that much
longer though, so he hurried to keep up with the Umbreon.
He nearly barreled right into the Grumpig. Crap. He didn't know how
he stopped himself in time, but he did (and he let out a small sigh
of relief at that too).
Having followed that infernal door-slammer down towards the
Labyrinth, she stopped short of entering. Mistress was quite well
aware of the dangers that were down there, according to the
injuries and the stories of previous guests who had gone down. Why,
she would have sealed the door herself if the Master hadn't
insisted they keep it open.
He was lucky she had a curious streak, or she would have ignored
his wishes.
She now seated herself on the miniature table that Yang (probably
that Mienfoo, she hadn't seen Yin for quite some time today) had
set up. The platter of sandwiches were gone, though there were
still glasses of water. Just on the floor of the foyer, underneath
her 'seat'.
She gave a good long, and hard look, to the pair. But she did not
say a single word (after all, she can't suddenly speak if she never
had her speech in the first place, right?)
Aaaand shes not there. There was no blood trails, and the bricks
looked intact. Okay, lets analyze something for a bit. The
kidnapper either walked away the way back to the start and continue
to another path, which would take time if that was the case, at
least she was nearby. However, there was a chance that the
kidnapper fell down on the hole. HOWEVER, there was the furniture
down there, so, if the kidnapper was to pass the hole, then the
furnitures should be scattered around. Or he ocassionally putted
all the furnitue on the exact posses after it disappeared.
After a lot of unescessary thinking, Watt fleught down to see.
This was seriously starting to get ridiculous, this rotom is going
to the the death of them. The druddigon followed the grumpig he
wanted to know a bit about her, even if the conversation was in
text form, when she stopped at the labyrinth door however he…had a
change of mind, she probably wasn't very happy, and definitely not
in the mood for conversation. When he turned back, the noticed the
pair of pokemon, he tried to show the tablet before the lucario
stopped him…was it really just him? napoleon's narrator looks
around Nope didn't think so.
There was no change to be found in the pit. The furniture was as
Watt had left them (or had unceremoniously dropped into, as the
case was).
The shattered gem remains from the Persian's forehead were still
there. Though even if she had them, the pieces would not magically
merge with the remainder on her forehead. The pieces would,
however, be much easier to bury than the whole of her body.
And the memorial room would be in use, wouldn't that be lovely to
see?
Cell turned his head around when he heard approaching
footsteps. Since those footsteps belonged to Nappy, he figured that
it was a good thing: now he and K-something won't have to look for
the big dragon later in the Labyrinth.
"So." He began, and then he was ready to hit himself on the head.
What was he gonna ask? Did you find anything important? Yeah
right, he didn't look like he was carrying anything different.
Though he did have that weird stone tablet with him still, maybe he
should ask about that?
...Nah. It was probably a gravestone or something. It's not like
the thing could help them get out of the mansion.
"...Hi." (Man he was so lame. Maybe he needed to take a nap or
something to get rid of his lame-ness.)
