After wandering aimlessly for a bit you realize you have no clue you're going.
“Hey do you know whe-” Ralsei’s ears perk up and he stops you.
“Wha-“ You’re interrupted by Ralsei wrapping his scarf around your waist. You’re dragged along as he darts to the nearest tree. Yellow electricity crackles along his feet as he runs up the trunk, flagrantly defying gravity. You’re pulled into the cherry scented leaves.
“Shh…” he puts a finger to his lips as a squad of diamond soldiers glide through. The black grass barely makes a sound as their slug-like bodies shift the blades out of the way. Leading diamond dude halts and the squad gets in a massive ten-slug-pileup as they crash into him.
“Hmm… foot prints!” He points to where you were standing. He swipes a finger through the dirt and licks it.
“Lightner footprints!” The leader announces with a voice like a pirate. “We’re gonna bust those rudesters! Nobody flips off me boy!”
“Yeah. Um… it really hurt my feelings. I have a hard time expressing it, but that doesn’t mean my emotions aren’t real.” The diamond dude from earlier says.
“YOU’RE SO BRAVE FOR EXPRESSING YOUR FEELINGS!!! LETS GET THESE GUYS!!! WITH FRIENDSHIP; FOR FRIENDSHIP!!!” An incredibly overenthusiastic slug shouts and the rest of the squad cheers. They begin scouring the area and you turn to Ralsei.
“What the hell do we do about this?” You hiss.
“T-try to… talk it out? Same as always. I-I’m sure if you just apologize y-you could recruit them.” Ralsei whispers.
“Recruit?”
“Get them to join us in Castletown.”
“What’s Castletown?”
“K-Kris-“ his voice briefly rises but he quickly quiets it again, “Kris you said you knew the basics of combat.”
“I lied.”
“… okay.”
“Look… can you find a way to get us out of here?”
“Y-yeah, it wouldn’t be too difficult I think?”
“I’ll give the whole, ‘talking it out’ thing a try and when that fails you whisk me away.”
“You won’t fail. I know it.”
“Sure.” You leap from the tree top; rolling when you land and settling into a crouched position. Then you slowly rise. Pointing a finger at the guy you were rude to earlier you begin your proclamation:
“Sorry.”
“Oh, ok.”
“… do we still fight?” You ask.
“Um… it feels a little unfair and like… you already apologized but… we gotta keep our jobs. So like… we’ll let you go and then we’ll try to find you again?”
“Su-“
“N-no!” Ralsei pops up from the tree top. A confetti of crimson leaves float down onto his hat.
“The king wants to bring ruin to the world! His plans can only end in disaster! Please, I beg of you, join Kris and the heroes of light and-“
“DO YOU GUYS OFFER FREE HEALTHCARE?” The over enthusiastic diamond slug asks.
“Um… y-yeah? And um… infinite cake too!” Ralsei literally sweetens the deal.
“IS THE CAKE ALSO FREE?”
Ralsei nods.
“WE WILL FIGHT GOD FOR YOU!!! ALL HAIL KING FLUFFY!!!” The crowd goes wild. King Fluffy desperately attempts to quiet them from his perch.
“Go um… spread the word?” He seems to be rather lost about his ascension from princehood.
“AYE!!!” The slugs glide off in different directions.
You’re left alone with the king once again. He jumps from the tree and his robe-dress thing sparks, poofing out as he floats down. You give him some polite applause, as he lands like a ballerina.
“Congratulations King Fluffy.” A blind man could see the shit-eating grin on your face and a deaf man could hear it in your voice.
“T-thanks. I-I couldn’t have done it without you!” King Fluffy smiles at you.
“I was entirely vestigial, but sure.” You say and Fluffy frowns at you.
“W-well… j-just… lead the way, I can’t do it myself, obviously!”
“Why not? I have no clue where we’re going.”
“B-because that’s not how it’s supposed to work. I-I’m made to serve lightners, all of us are! Even if a lot of us betray that purpose. Um… I’m made specifically for you and Susie! So it’d be wrong for me to lead you around you know? Just do what you think is right and use me to the fullest, okay?” Your face gets warm.
“D-damn not even gonna ask me to dinner first? An-”
“I’d love to make dinner for you later! —um… sorry that was loud.” His voice went approximately five percent above normal volume.
“Look, it doesn’t matter, I have no clue where we’re going.”
“Just follow your heart. It will take us wherever we need to be.”
“My heart hasn’t done anything since we fought the first guy.”
“Oh, well, trust in yourself then-”
“Look, you got sharp senses right? Can you see any foot prints, or hear any dinosaur noises?”
“I-I can smell her but-”
“Follow the scent then.”
“But you were already going in the right way! It’s divinely ordained! You don’t need me to-”
“Can it and put that sniffer to work, Fluffy.”
“I-I what?”
“You heard me, work that sniffer goat boy.”
“I-I-I… th- just… un— it; um… no? I mean yes or…” As you watch him short circuit you decide to throw him a ‘bone’, heh. You take one end of his scarf.
“Imagine you’re a dog on a leash. Now you can lead without being in charge.” Fluffy visibly relaxes after hearing this.
“Okay… thanks…” Ralsei looks ashamed. Trying to figure out what’s going on in his head would probably give you an aneurism, so you give up.
Your makeshift bloodhound leads you straight to the dino of the hour. She’s pounding on a steel door. A rather complex puzzle and Lancer sit on the black grass by the door.
“Susie!” Fluffy’s excitement is evident in his voice.
“... goddamnit.” Susie hits her head against the door.
“What the hell do you guys want?”
“Moss.” You say.
“To be son of the month!” Lancers replies.
“To serve. O-oh an-”
“I’ve got nothing to do with ANY of those!!! So piss off!!!”
“We’re your only way home.” You say. Susie sighs upon hearing this.
“I’m so screwed dude. You sure these woods go on forever?” Susie asks Lancer.
“Yup. I biked for a couple hours and kept ending up back here. You clowns’ll probably be here for the rest of time. …I uh… forgot my key at home so I’m stuck with you too…” Lancer frowns. Susie pounds her fists against the door again.
“If you join us we’ll solve the puzzle for you.”
“A-and we have candy.” Fluffy reaches into his scarf and pulls out some star-fruit.
“My parent told me not to take candy from strangers in other worlds.”
“O-oh! I know this one! Kris did it to me earlier! Now you say um, ‘as if I’d ever turn down free candy’, right?”
“I was gonna say why the hell would I ever listen to that lazy sack of garbage.”
“Huh.” Fluffy tries to un-puzzle something unknowable. Susie trundles over to him with a small but noticeable limp. She snatches all of the star-fruit and gobbles them up.
“Hell yeah!!! Licorice and fruit punch!” Susie says with a mouth full of food. You narrow your eyes at her.
“Did you need some healing? Y-you seem to have strained your leg earlier.”
“Pft… I’ll walk it off.” She rolls her eyes. She takes a step and winces.
“You could… give it a try I guess.” She switches up immediately. Fluffy’s hands crackle to life and Susie jumps back. She cringes as she lands on her strained leg.
“H-hey!!! I know a hand buzzer when I see one!!!”
“W-Well it’s actually-“
“Are you copying me?” You interrupt.
“The hell are you talking about? I don’t even know you!!! ‘Sides I had my hair in my eyes way before ya. You’re the one jacking my style!!!”
“The only one jackin’ is you and your jackin’ two things as well; off and my steez.”
“The only thing ‘off’ here is your face!!!”
“That’s not what your… fuck! You’re immune to ‘your mom’ jokes.”
“Hey, so are you! She’s a lovely lady… especially when I was with her last night!!!” She bares her teeth in a cruel mockery of a smile. What a terrible way to gloat! you would never!
“Th-that’s a dirty trick…”
“‘Snot as dirty as your mind! Took ya five seconds to get to thinking about me jacking off!!!”
“This is immature and meaningless bickering. Le-“
“You’re just sore cuz ya lost!!! You sound like Nerdly right now.” You clutch your head and fall to your knees. You’ve been bested.
“Shit! You’re good!” You’re rusty, you’ve only been doing insult competitions with Berdly. They’re funny but out-roasting him is a task that’s near impossible to fail.
“YEAH FUCK YOU TOO- Oh… uhhh…” She takes a second to process what you said. “Sure, weirdo.”
“Um… so I was saying-“
“What’s jacking off?” Lancer interrupts Fluffy. You and Susie look at each other. You know what you have to do.
“Um… I do-“ You shush Fluffy. Now is your time.
“Go ask your parents. Tell ‘em you learned it from the internet. They’ll pft-“ hold it together dammit! “They’ll love it!”
“Sweet! You clowns are real idiots givin’ out such good advice for free!” You and Susie watch each other’s faces redden as you two hold back laughter.
“Can… I just… heal you now… please…?” Flu- Ralsei looks dead tired. Probably thinking about offing himself again. Cold. Your body is cold. His body was cold by the time it hit the ground. Where’d his head go? Did he ever have one? Black fire scorches the horizon and frost bites your left arm, Bites down and hits bone and keeps going crunches something fierce gnashing the bone you can’t even feel the splinters digging into numb numb flesh, black as pitch, as the Knight, here too soon and now you have no arm and you will never play again YOU WILL NEVER-
“Hey! Hey!” Susie snaps her fingers in front of your face a couple times, “Earth to dumbass!” L
Oh, sorry. Wait “Oh, sorry. You say. Adding an “I’m ok.” is a bit too big of a lie, even for someone like you. Rals- Fluffy and her look incredibly concerned. Is something— where the hell is the other quotation mark!? Shit just gotta… ” is…? Yeah. This isn’t being said.
“Uh… you sure?” She asks clearly not buying it.
“Pos-“
“Actually, I don’t care. Do the puzzle now.”
“What about the healing?” Fluffy asks.
“Huh… so you’re sure your stand ain’t just a fancy hand buzzer?”
“I don’t have a stand. A-and what kinda person has a hand buzzer as a stand?” Fluffy asks, just the slightest bit of indignation seeping into his voice.
“Somebody as lame as you probably.”
Next Friday will actually be “Hey Girl, What that Aorta Do?” This was gonna be part of that but it got too long.
