Round Robin? *looks hopeful*

[lucathia]

Is anyone interested in writing a Legend of Sun Knight round robin story with me? :3 I would very much like to work on a collaborative story. XD;

The basic idea behind it is that several authors will take turns writing the story and passing it along. There will be a central idea, but after that, anything goes! You just have to write a certain word count, and then you pass it on to the next person. The story doesn't have to make sense by the end. (In fact, I'm hoping it will be utter crack, though maybe it could turn out serious) The aim is just to have fun. :)

I used to looove writing 3 word stories where you had to pass on the story after three words and the next person had to continue it with 3 words. The results were always hilarious because you never knew how the next person would continue it. (Though, I'm proposing more than 3 words here, hahaha. Maybe something like 200~500 words. Not too long that it would take a long time to write, but not too short that nothing substantive has happened.)

If we can get maybe at least three authors on board (more can feel free to join in at anytime!), we can get something going. :D /wishful thinking

ETA: I'm going to try starting a Round Robin fic here in this post! :3;;
1. I will make a comment with the beginning of a fic, with a title in the subject line. Reply to this comment with a continuation of the story.
2. Each continuation only needs to be around 100~500 words, but we won't be keeping track or anything. XD; Shorter or longer = both are okay.
3. You only have to wait for one other author to comment before you in order to take another turn.
4. You can feel free to start your own Round Robin stories too! (Just make a new comment and label the subject line with the title for the new fic and we can start threading with you! \o\)
5. If you are an anonymous commenter, feel free to sign your part with your name, or you could keep it anonymous if you want. XD;
6. Feel free to join in at any time!
7. Feel free to comment/respond to the stories!

Re: sounds fun!

No problem at all! :3 Hmmmm, I think I'll just start the story here in the comments!

(Anyone is free to jump in at anytime! I'll update my original post with some guidelines~)

Story 1: The Legendary Four-

[lucathia]

Aldrizzt sighed and sat down at the table with a heavy heart.

Neo glanced up.

"Why have you pulled your hood up again?" Neo admonished. "The people here are already used to you." In fact, it was the first thing Neo had made sure of. The moment he walked into the inn, he had immediately intimidated everyone in the inn into accepting Aldrizzt's presence. It wouldn't do if Aldrizzt had to hide while they were in Leaf Bud City. Other cities, fine, but Leaf Bud City was Neo's territory!

Neo's words only made Aldrizzt pull his hood up further. Even so, his dark skin could still be seen. After all, his hands were out in the open, and there was no preventing people from seeing a flash of his skin whenever he moved. A hood was not enough to conceal everything.

Even if Neo couldn't sense it, Aldrizzt acutely felt the stares from the people in the inn. Despite Neo's intimidation tactics, people had kept on staring at him throughout their entire stay, and now they were staring even more.

Aldrizzt darted his eyes around, blood rushing to his cheeks. He was definitely not imagining all the whispers.

Impatient, Neo leaned forward and tugged at Aldrizzt's hood.

When Aldrizzt's hood fell, the whispers around the room grew louder. Many people gasped. Others spoke furtively but were so obviously gossiping about him that Aldrizzt's cheeks grew very warm.

"It's a dark elf!"

That wasn't so bad. He was used to that. But...

"He's even involved with the former Sun Knight!"

Aldrizzt really wished his hood were still back on.

"Does that make it a fivesome?"

Neo finally reacted, turning a raised eyebrow at Aldrizzt. "Aldrizzt, I never knew you were such a flirt. I'm hurt you trust me so little!"

Aldrizzt rolled his eyes. It was time to confess. "The truth is, Neo, the people here think I'm involved with your student...in a foursome."

-----

(...I don't know why I ended up writing this, hahahaha. Couldn't come up with anything else. Let's see if anyone wants to continue this story from here. =P Just reply to this thread! Though maybe I should have started us off with a Grisia-centric story. Still, feel free to continue this story with whatever POV you like. You can totally continue with Neo and Aldrizzt or feature a different POV)

(*^*)/

[(Anonymous)]

“Hahahaha” Neo laughed, startling all the gossipers but making Aldrizzt more uncomfortable. His smiling face was somewhat creepy, though none seemed to realize it. Perhaps he was thinking too much.

“So that child actually went and blew away the Sun knights image with not one woman, but three AND another man…”

A cold seat ran down Aldrizzt back, but he tried to explain. “Actually there was only one woman–”

“ONE?!” Neo interrupted and then stood up. “Come Aldrizzt we need to go”

“Where to?” Aldrizzt asked in a calmed tone, but he was actually very concerned…about Grisia’s safety.

“To see Chasel of course!” said Neo while rolling his eyes at Aldrizzt.

Now, Aldrizzt was confused, so he asked Neo in a doubtful tone “Why?”

“To warn him about Grisia!”

Aldrizzt was not sure about what Neo meant, but he was unwilling to ask, so he just stayed in his place unmoving while staring at Neo in confusion.

Neo was getting impatient, so he explained further in a calmer tone. “How can you expect me to leave things like this? They all live under the same roof Aldrizzt! The SAME roof! Let the talking about the Sun Kinght’s image for later, right now I need to ensure everyone’s safety!” he sighed, “I knew I shouldn’t have left him being a temple-guy… but who knew he would suddenly go and bat for the other team?”

“…”

"... Neo" Aldrizzt said looking somewhat uncomfortable. "I've told you, nothing actually happened it was all a misunderstanding..."

"Don't give me that nonsense!" Neo said ignoring him. "That stupid student of mine was actually seen having a foursome! Not with three women, oh no, but with three other men! MEN!!! When I get my hands on him... he'll never have to deal with problems like this again! Hahahahaha, he won't even have to worry about having children..."

Aldrizzt eyes twitched. He felt that Grisia would have had an easier time escaping from the Demon King himself then from his currently deranged teacher. 'The look in his eyes are really quite scary...' he thought quietly.

"Anyway" Neo said waving his hand dismissively "We're here, finally!" He said half dragging Aldrizzt in front of a quaint little house.

Aldrizzt had to control his urge to roll his eyes. Finally, indeed.

It took them almost half a day to reach Chasel's house, which was quite literally at the end of the city's main road. Any normal person could've reached this destination in a couple of hours just by following a straight line, but not Neo. No, they had been walking in the opposite direction for almost four hours, since "Neo knew this city like the back of his hand". It was only when they nearly reached the city's edge that Neo finally accepted the fact that they were going in the wrong direction...

"I thought you used to live in this city. Your talent of getting absurdly lost even in your own home town is quite worthy of praise" Aldrizzt sighed tiredly.

"Did you say something?" Neo asked with a raised eyebrow.

"...No, nothing."

Aldrizzt sighed again. If what people said was true and sighing really did reduce your lifespan, he was sure that his adventures with Neo had cost him at least 200 years.
He shook his head sadly. Fate really had a twisted sense of humour.

Aldrizzt turned away from his ward... I mean, friend, and inspected the garden in front of the house. He was surprised to notice the variety and how well cared for the flowers were. It was obvious that their owner worked hard at keeping them well tended.

"Anyway, let's go inside!" Neo said, kicking the door open with a loud bang.

"Hey, control yourself isn't this your friend's house?"

"Pah! It's fine Chasel won't mind, he hasn't seen me in quite some time... I'll bet that he'll even be pleased with our visit!"

Aldrizzt doubted that statement for some reason.

He looked around curiously. The house was well furnished, although without much exorbitance. From what Aldrizzt could tell, this sort of style was for people who weren't used to receiving that many visitors, nonetheless, he did notice some pots of flowers by the window, which gave the house a somewhat cosy feel to it. This was definitely not what he was expecting from a house of the previous Judgement Knight.

"I thought I heard someone break through my door..." said a man in a low voice, appearing from one of the inner rooms. He raised an eyebrow when he saw the sorry state of his front door. "...Do you think you are the Blaze Knight, Neo? Can't you knock like a normal person?"

"Who has time for knocking nowadays? Anyway, serve us some food Chasel! We've been walking almost the entire day just to get here! You really should consider moving to a more accessible location."

Aldrizzt placed his hands over his forehead and groaned softly.

Chasel looked at loss for words. Glancing from the grinning Neo to the exasperated Aldrizzt, he simply shook his head and headed to the kitchen to get some refreshments.

Neo made himself comfortable in one of the living room's sofas. Aldrizzt quietly sat in the farthest chair away from where his friend was sitting. He had a feeling that he'd want to be far away from both Neo and Chasel during the course of this conversation.

"So what brings you here? You hardly ever visit." Chasel said a little accusingly.

He gently set a tray of snacks and tea in front of his guests. He looked up, "Please, tell me you're not here to ask me to deal with a town you've destroyed."

Neo rolled his eyes. "Don't be so dramatic, Chasel. That only happened once... I'm past that phase now."

Aldrizzt rolled his eyes. He seriously doubted that statement.

"Anyway, I'm here to warn you about something very important... It concerns the safety of that child, Lesus." Neo said seriously.

Chasel fiddled with his tea cup worriedly. "Has something happened? Lesus has always been so capable, he never has had that much trouble handling dangerous situations before."

"Actually, this might be one of the worst and most dangerous situations your student has ever dealt with." Neo whispered dangerously. "My student... apparently... has begun playing for the other team."

Chasel looked at Neo dumbfoundedly. "He... what?"

"He was found engaged... in-in a foursome... with three of his brothers and a dark elf."

Chasel choked on his tea and began having a coughing fit.

"Now, imagine what my student would do with his other brothers, especially those who are used to handling his demands daily... like your student, the young Judgement Knight, for example?"

Chasel looked quite despaired (and a little sick) over the idea of the Sun Knight actually jumping the Judgment Knight.

After shaking his head for some time, probably trying to get rid of the disturbing images, he clenched his fist and stood up decidedly. "...We leave at once. I'll handle this situation personally." Chasel said in a dangerous voice.

"Oh yes, we will definitely deal with Grisia." Neo said gleefully, rubbing his hands together.

Aldrizzt thought that Neo looked like a predator about to corner his prey.

"...and you" Aldrizzt turned to see Chasel glaring at him dangerously, "I don't care what personal hobbies you have during your own time, but if you dare lay a hand on my student... I'll personally take you to the Judgement Complex for being a hazard to society!"

Aldrizzt whimpered. Grisia wasn't the only one in trouble....

Eeeh I thought I'd have to break the last comment into three parts, not two.
The subject might be misleading, but that last comment was the end of my submission :)

Re: last comments

[lucathia]

Omggggg I am laughing so hard at how the story has been continued. XDDDD Two thumbs up for both of you! XD;;; Neo going to Chasel, getting lost in his own city, ahhhhhhhh, Chasel asking Neo if he's the Blaze Knight! Pffft! Grisia batting for the other team, ahhhhhhhh.

Re: continuing (2/3)

[fhaystshilffe.livejournal.com]

...Somehow, he had missed the point at which it had been best to jump in and clear up the misunderstanding.

Not like Neo would have listened anyway, he never did once he set his mind on some "truth" of his - at least if it was about this kind of without-Neo's-intervention-not-lethal-kind of business. Sometimes Aldrizzt was unsure wether his travelling companion just loved messing around or if he really took these things seriously. Probably both. Anyway, he would have expected for his Judgement Knight to think twice if the blond haired man started spouting such outrage... Maybe this was some kind of motherly love for his student blinding his eyes? Unexpected, but not impossible.

Either way he missed his chance and thus his only option now was to quietly follow the two and pretend he did, in fact, not exist. If people where staring at his cloaked figure before he had no words to describe the townspeople's reaction to seeing both the former Sun and Judgement Knights marching together with grim expressions while being followed by a suspicious guy who hid his face behind a cloak in bright daylight. But little did it stop at the commoners; even the holy knights of the temple jumped in shock when they saw Neo and Chasel approach with expressions as grim as if they were going to war.

"Where is the Sun Knight?" Chasel almost bellowed at the first holy knight that caught his attention before Neo had the chance to do the same. The people here still regarded him as the former Sun Knight no matter his raggedy adventurer ways after all so there was still some image to keep.

The poor young man (not much more than a squire by his age but Aldrizzt could never be so sure with humans) sqeaked and jumped, but hurriedly saluted.

"I saw Knight-Captain Sun head towards the Judge's Complex earlier today, Sir!"

Chasel nodded sternly as Neo rushed passed the confused and slightly intimidated holy knight. Then he and Aldrizzt gave chase. Better catch Neo before he got to his student. No matter how upset Chasel himself may be he would surely keep him in check... or so the dark elf hoped. Thankfully, while the Holy Temple seemed one of the few if not the only place Neo was able to successfully navigate without taking more than two wrong turns, the Judge's Complex presented more of a challenge to him and they were able to catch up with him in time. Maybe this was the time to take word and explain...

Or not. There they went. Oh well. Better not get separated or the knights here might mistake him for a fugitive.

After rushing to and fro each and every interrogation room they could find and meeting neither Grisia nor Chasel's student Lesus their steps finally came to a halt in front of what looked like... a bathroom door? But just as Aldrizzt wanted to ask why they stood in front of the door instead of entering if one of them wanted to use the toilet he heard the voices from inside. Well, more like sounds really. He listened closely, trying to make out any words or at least the vague situation behind the door, and when he stepped closer to the door to eavesdrop he noticed the other men did the same.

"Aaaah~ Don't be like that!"

That was definitely Grisia's voice, and in a whiny tone at that. What followed it was a deep-voiced chuckle.

(Eeep I hope I wasn't too slow, haha)

Re: last comments (*^*)/

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry Grisia but it was just so tempting playing with that idea xD

Re: also continuing

[(Anonymous)]

Outside the bathroom door, three ears were pressed against it in stark silence. Not even quiet rasps of breath could be heard. Aldrizzt felt terribly guilty for eavesdropping.

“Don’t laugh, Lesus! This is my FIRST time…” Grisia’s voice cried out from the other side in indignation, while the deep chuckles continued.

“And I’m sure it won’t be the last,” Lesus retorted.

“Shouldn't we do something…” Aldrizzt’s mind was running wild while the heat on his face only grew more intense. ‘Wasn’t this all a big misunderstanding to begin with?’ he thought to himself.

“Shhhhh,” Neo hushed sharply, and Chasel shot him an accusing glare.

“Why did you warn me if we weren't going to save my student?” Chasel whispered in protest.

“Quiet! We don’t really know what’s going on just yet.” Neo spat back.

Aldrizzt slowly swiveled his head from side to side while taking a step back, hoping to quietly depart. However, a loud cry made him freeze…

“Ouch!” Grisia’s scream was accompanied by a loud ‘thump’. “I said to BE CAREFUL! I already can’t use a sword as it is! You’re going to make things worse,” he whined pitifully.

“Grisia, please… you brought this upon yourself.” Lesus sighed heavily, “but this really is too tight! You need to relax.” The voice was clearly still riddled with mirth.

“Oh my God of Light!” Chasel and Neo squeaked in hushed tones at the same time.

“I think we have to worry about your student, too, Chasel!” Neo cried and flew into a frenzy. “The Sun Knight cannot be taken by a man. This will ruin our reputation!”

'Even more,' Aldrizzt added silently.

BAM! Neo sent the bathroom door flying with a powerful kick, and the three eavesdroppers were met with a sight no one had imagined.

The trio were met with surprised gazes from the two who had been hidden behind the door. Their facial expressions reacted accordingly. Neo’s jaw was slack and Chasel’s lips were pressed into a thin line. Aldrizzt was clearly fighting a smile, shoulders shaking with restraint. They stared at each other in a deadlock of silence. He was incredibly amused by the scene before him.

With both hands, Lesus had a hold of a small, blue jar. The jar had an elaborately decorated sticker on it. On the sticker were the words: World’s Sweetest Blueberry Cookies. At the top of the jar, was Grisia’s arm… no hand in sight.

“What the HELL is going on in here!” Neo finally found some words to throw at them.

“I… umm…” Grisia, on the other hand, was completely at a loss. “I….”

“He got his hand stuck in a cookie jar,” Lesus said flatly, his face nor voice betraying any emotions.

Aldrizzt was impressed with his quick recovery at the sight of an audience. 'Hadn't he just been laughing?' He continued to fight his own laughter.

“It’s all that bastard, Earth’s, fault!” Grisia cried. “I think this is his revenge for me ruining another one of his attempts with a female cleric last night…”

“…”

Aldrizzt could no longer hold back his laughter. He laughed himself to tears, wondering if the God of Light was real and had it out for him, an evil Dark Elf, in the form of his representatives- past and present.

I am not very good at writing humour, or writing narratives, but how can one NOT go somewhere funny with this premise?

Story 2: A Mission

[lucathia]

When Grisia finally arrived at the Pope's study, everyone else was already present. With a wide smile on his face, he pushed open the door to grace them with his presence. He opened his mouth and began praising the God of Light... but no one was paying any attention to him.

Not even to complain of a headache! Even with his number one victim present, no one was complaining!

Grisia closed his mouth. He then closed the door behind him. Immediately after he closed the door, he let his smile drop.

The Pope, Ceo, Georgo, and Vival had their backs facing him. They were bent, or well, Ceo, Georgo, and Vival were bent over something, while the Pope didn't have to do any bending, not with his height.

Grisia walked forward.

Georgo was the first to notice him. He straightened back up. "Oh, you're finally here. Took you long enough. I thought you died somewhere!"

You try having to walk at the speed of a tortoise! Grisia thought. Besides, the Sun Knight obviously has to make dramatic entrances!

Grisia made a note to himself to interrupt Georgo's "dates" even more frequently.

After hearing Georgo speak, Ceo glanced over. He looked between Grisia and whatever he had been bent over. He then slid his eyes over once more to Grisia. It was then that Grisia noticed a very strange expression on Ceo's face... like... a wobbling... smile? It was like Ceo was trying to force himself not to smile.

Grisia made a noncommittal noise and moved closer to whatever they were all looking at, not liking the look on Ceo's face, nor the smug expression on Georgo's, nor the glee on the Pope's, nor the amused one on Vival's.

As he approached, the Pope explained, "The mission this time is an undercover one. Judgment agreed that these knight-captains are the most suited for the initial stage of this mission, but the others will join in at a later date."

Grisia already knew that much. What he wanted to know was what had put those irritating expressions on their faces. Grisia didn't doubt that the joke was on him, and he didn't like that one bit.

"And?" Grisia prompted.

Ceo finally couldn't contain his grin. He grabbed what was on the table and held it up. "And these will be our undercover outfits for the mission," he said.

------
(Dun dun dun! What kind of outfits are they? What kind of mission is this? Only the next person will know, haha. Anyway, I hope more people start stories! =P Thank you for participating. <3333)

Re pt 1: Story 2: A Mission (*^*)/

[(Anonymous)]

“What is that?” Grisia couldn’t understand what was being handed over to him.

“Of course it is your outfit! And since you arrived last you don’t get to choose!” said Ceo with an overly excited face. Truth is he was the first to arrive, and thus the first to choose, and was actually excited to wear his costume.

Everyone started to dress up.

Grisia was still shaking while holding his outfit. ‘Why? Just why?!’ he thought while trying to build up courage and get himself in his outfit.

They were to dress up as a wandering troupe.

The first one to get changed was Ceo. He felt very touched and happy wearing his costume. He was dressed as a heavy and outdated Knight, full armor on. Helmet included. It was lighter than it looked, since it was fake and was even comfortable to stay in.

“Old-time knights were truly awesome!” Ceo couldn’t help saying in happiness “No brains, just brute strength; no girls when helmet is down and what’s better… no paperwork!” Ceo was so happy he was practically jumping in joy.

Next came Georgo. Apparently he came just after Ceo, and thus was the second to choose. Grisia gritted his teeth for Georgo’s outfit would have suited him 200% better.

Georgo would be the troupe’s wandering bard.

He wore a pair of brownish pants and boots, a big white long-sleeve shirt and a dark green cape with a beautiful metal brooch. Flute included.

None actually questioned Georgo’s capacity for singing or playing songs, other than Grisia of course.

“cough cough hekeepsthousandsofhandkerchiefsinhisdrawerjusttoattractpriestesscough cough” Grisia coughed out though none seemed to understand him, other than Georgo of course. He feigned ignorance though, at least for now, since as of that moment he will be able to woo girls to his heart’s content and it will be completely legal!. The only thing he wasn’t happy about was his tiny flute, how was he going to play it?!

Vival was the last to finish dressing up. He wasn’t specially fond and grateful of his outfit like Ceo or Georgo. He actually found it kind of ironic, but well at least it was better than Grisia’s.

His outfit was that of an oracle or fortune-teller, with crystal ball included. It was a large yellow coat with symbols of almost every known God and under it a black robe that covered even his feet. He wore a big shining, but cheap, jewel in his forehead with matching earrings. His hands were now full of rings – equally cheap – for appearances sake.

At least now, he would not pass as a ‘haughty, irritating guy’ – Grisia’s words. Since now, he can blame it to fortune. Like, ‘I am looking to the sky in order to read your fortunes’ or ‘God is telling me what is going to come’ or things like that – by the pope.

Re pt2: Story 2: A Mission

[(Anonymous)]

And last but not least – actually the third to get fully dressed up, but hiding in regret – was Grisia in his undercover outfit. He was the dancer, but not just any dancer...

“Come out Sun, I know you have fully dressed since ages ago!” said the Pope a bit impatient. It wasn’t such a hard mission.

“…”

“Sun, drag yourself out of that closet or I’ll do it for you and take your salary as compensation for the effort!” threatened the annoyed pope. It was enough knowing Ceo wasn’t going to be home - meaning no paperwork done - for him to get a headache, he didn’t need Sun’s tantrums to worsen it.

Grisia finally and unwillingly got out of the closet while saying, “I’ll freeze to death in this!”

Everyone looked at him in all seriousness…

“Pft!” for at least five seconds.

He wore a pair of dark blue pants with a black hip scarf over them, everything kept in place by a tribal belt, made of black and golden coins beaded. A wide black and gold tribal-looking collar hanged around his neck. His right arm was decorated by a matching black, with golden details, arm-bracelet. His hair was up and completely covered by a black bandana.

"I don't think freezing to death should be your main concern...pfft!" laughed the Pope

“Hahahaha, Sun you look so good I can’t decide between a magically beautiful transvestite genie or a very ‘fashionable’ mysterious pirate hahahaha” said Georgo. ‘I knew you were most suited to be metal, damn Earth!’

“Hahaha…gasp!... don’t worry yours comes with black slippers and cape, to add mystery!” added Ceo while laughing.

“And he… and he… just came out of the closet!” said Vival. A sudden realization flashing through everyone’s eyes.

Everyone laughed so hard, tears came out and laughter not.

Meanwhile Sun was slowly gathering water element in the room, without anyone noticing and with a scary smile on.

"Ha. Ha. So funny."

[fhaystshilffe.livejournal.com]

Through their laughter Vival - naturally - was the first to notice. "Naturally" since it was mainly above their heads that the water element was condensing... namely into thick clouds that covered the entirety of the pope's study's high ceiling.

They turned suspiciously dark dangerously quickly...

"Uhm..."

When Vival made a sound the others turned their heads to look at him and calmed their laughter slightly to ask what was the matter. They got their answer in the form of a low grumbling from the clouds; the kind produced by lightning darting within the clouds and not yet hitting earth itself.

They stopped dead.

"...You can't be serious."

Ceo choked out before lightning magic zapped down from the ceiling, guided by the indoor rain that accompanied it and drenched everyone but its master to the bone.

"Hmph! I'll just take the chance to dazzle wome- dazzle everyone with this elegance Teacher 'lovingly' taught me!" Grisia stubbornly declared over everyone's cries of agony and whipped around to throw open the door of the study and proudly stalk out.

Only to return not seconds later, forcefully close the door again and press his back against it as if in an attempt to keep an enraged Blaze from entering. His face looked pained and more than slightly panicked at a sudden realization.

"...I can't leave like this!" He gasped. "I can't... I can't walk through the entire temple looking like... a transvestite genie pirate!"

Sadly none of those attenting showed all too much compassion for his dire situation.

Vival instead adapted his signature Moon Knight look to observe him, Ceo was too busy rubbing his aching head (metal armors and electricity never mixed well) to even look at him and the Pope dramatically wrung out his robes while glaring at him. Georgo actually ignort the perm he was now sporting due to the static and folded his arms across his chest with a malicious smile appearing on his face.

"D-don't wo-worry, Sun. It's re-really not so much d-d-different from the w-way you usually l-l-look once you ge-get used to it" Georgo chirped in his "loyal and honest" tone.

"Ouch! Stop zapping me, you bastard!"

After letting his very best friend in the whole wide world Knight-Captain Earth feel the leftover lightning magic hovering in the dissipating rain clouds Grisia rushed over to the table and grabbed the black velvet cape to complete his outfit. Or rather, to wrap himself up like a blanket caterpillar until not even his eyes showed in fear the famous deep blue might give his identity away.

Then he slumped down were he stood and refused to move another muscle.

"Now, could you brats finally get going? I haven't got all day" The Pope eventually declared once the group (except Grisia) and most importantly his office were back to a somewhat presentable shape.

"I'm not going!" Complained the black worm on the floor. "Make someone else go... Take Lesus or something!"

A few seconds passed in dead silence as everyone imagined their fearsome Judgement Knight in the garments of a dancer.

"......Or maybe.. ask Strawberry instead..." Mumbled Grisia and shivered.

"Enough! Out! All of you!" The Pope roared before rubbing his temples.

"How could we go if our 'Leader' refuses to?" Vival retorted.

It was not like he did not want to leave; in fact, he was actually looking forward to the trip ever since he managed to make an arrangement to see his girlfriend while they were out.

"Can't we just leave him..." Ceo grunted.

Pushing this obnoxious Sun Knight out into public in this getup and watching him strive to keep his identity hidden seemed like such a good revenge for all those so-called favors he kept doing him. But somehow this man seemed able to cause him a headache just fine even without his convoluted speach or towers of paperwork.

"We'll just have to carry the princess then."

"Hey, what are you- Ouf!"

Georgo had went through a similar inner conflict to Ceo's (Leaving him and take the chance to be with the ladies in peace, or taking him and forcing him into humiliation?) but apparently his spiteful glee at Grisia's role had won the battle. Possibly with the help of his confidence in his abilities to get it on with girls even with a certain disruptive element around.

Either way he had walked up to the table, picked up Grisia, and... dropped him off into Ceo's arms (who almost dropped him in surprise).

"Carrying heavy luggage is the fighter's job" He declared definitely and turned to leave with Vival shuffling closely behind before Ceo could even think of handing his "luggage" over to him.

No nope, this was my first time ever writing anything and posting it on the internet "\"(>w<)"/"

Thanks for the praises!!! :'D I actually enjoyed writing :3

I actually find my signature like 'full of resolution' xD, You can call me anon (*^*)/ or minibu (my usual alias on internet) or whatever comes to mind :), though I think I'll keep using the signature in future comments since I liked it very much (^^)

fun fact: english isn't actually my native language, so I'm sorry if there are errors in the text (if you or anyone finds them, feel free to point them out, since that actually helps me improve).

Ahhhh, that's even more amazing! (You don't want to see my first piece of writing, hahahaha... Actually, I still have it up on ffnet...ORZ. Goodness, it's from 13 years ago!)

Anon (*^*)/, hehe, that's so cute~

If you don't mind me asking, what is your native language? :3 Your English is awesome! My first language is Chinese, but I actually can't write it very well.... :'D;;; (I've thought of translating my own fics into Chinese, but even attempting to translate one chapter took me waaaaay too long, and I can't tell very well if the result sounds right or not)

"Well..." Sun thought smugly, "at least I'm being carried. I might actually get used to this."

Ceo glared at the black caterpillar in his arms and grudgingly shuffled out of the door. He was grateful that he was completely covered by an archaic armour. He was at least able to somewhat maintain his dignity whilst carrying an overgrown worm... an annoyingly content black worm.

He did his best to ignore the pointing and whispering that followed them both. He was able to do quite a good job considering the ridiculous picture that he and his leader formed. He actually thought that he'd be able to discreetly slip away to their "travelling troupe" carriage, until he saw his storm knight platoon marching in their direction.

"What's up with that weird guy?" one of his platoon members mumbled.

"Not sure... that really is a very strange armour though. Its so weird and rusted, an absolute embarrassment to anyone who calls themselves a knight. That guy over there should take our captain as an example! He'd never be caught dead wearing something as disgraceful as that!" someone else interjected.

Storm felt his "package" trembling slightly from ill contained laughter.

"Wait a second... Is that a person he's carrying?" someone asked.

Storm flinched, it was about time to leave.

"Hey you. Come over here!" His vice captained shouted.

Storm considered his options, he could either toss Grisia onto his platoon and run like hell or he could throw this annoying worm over his shoulders and run as if his teacher's threat actually came to fruition and a pack of women were trying to gang rape him.

He couldn't deny that the first option was pretty attractive...

Nonetheless, he didn't want to have to cover up for the Sun Knight's secret hobby of dressing up like a flamboyant pirate. So with a huff, he lugged his leader onto his shoulders and ran like there was no tomorrow.

"Hey, are you running away?! Come back here!"

Ceo figured he'd have a better chance at escaping his... own platoon... by taking a detour through the Judgement's Complex. He sharply turned left and entered the dreaded area of the Church. All seemed to be going fine, even though he managed to startle quite a few judgement knights, until Grisia decided to begin squirming around.

"Deatheo?! What is going on? You're going so fast that I feel like I'm going to fall! If I fall on my face, I'll make sure that you'll have an extra bundle of paperwork to correct this month!"

.Trying to maintain a strong grip on his now jittery luggage, he almost crashed into a dark pillar... a very angry dark pillar.

The Judgement Knight merely glared at the rusty old knight who swerved around him and nearly let the screaming bundle in his arms crash onto the floor. His frown intensified as the pair was soon followed by a very angry, very loud mob of storm knights.

Recognizing the armour, Judgement sighed in annoyance.
"They only had to discreetly leave the church... not cause a stampede." He thought angrily.

Storm shivered as he felt a slightly murderous aura behind him.

Readjusting Grisia onto his shoulders, he lunged through an opening and finally saw his two very annoyed companions waiting besides a very colourful carriage.

Slightly out of breath he threw Grisia into the carriage, and while ignoring the latter's outraged cries, panted "Let's get... out... of here!".

Vival looked confused with the other's disarrayed state but after seeing several knights running behind him, some even pulling out their swords, he rapidly took the horses' reigns from an amused Earth and quickly ordered the carriage forwards...
