☆57.5☆ [Fourth Wall]

[Somewhere, somehow, there is a pile of slimes. It's a pretty impressive pile, several feet high. Blue blobby things all grinning cheerfully.

Of course, this would be just an amusing, if odd, sight, if it wasn't for the fact that at the bottom of that slime pile, there's a single human arm sticking out... and twitching.

If you listen closely, you might even be able to hear a strained voice from beneath them all...]

...somebody... a little help...

.... And?

[reveiller]

Ah... wouldn't I be at a disadvantage? You know him better than I do.

[ but he is seriously considering this... looks at ryner ]

[reveiller]

Hmm... what a dilemma.

[ he pets ryner #2 for a moment. ] We could get Ryner #2 to go snooping around for us.

[dreamsofahero]

Ah, but I can't say I've seen him in a situation quite like this before... And there's always the possibility that those creatures will move of their own accord and alter the results.

[reveiller]

Oh, that's true. A wild-card, to even the playing field.

[dreamsofahero]

Precisely! It certainly would make things more interesting, wouldn't it?

[reveiller]

Quite. Why don't we up the stakes a little more, then?

[tearsofademon]

And I can't exactly get out if I can't move my arms and legs!

[tearsofademon]

[. . .

are you yet another person sent to troll him]

[tearsofademon]

Would he be able to report back?

[dreamsofahero]

What do you have in mind?

[tearsofademon]

[automatically flinching at that - he's still well trained]

Er, yeah, of course! Must've just...ahh...slipped my mind.

[dreamsofahero]

I'm sure you'll think of something. I have faith in you, Ryner~

[tearsofademon]

That really isn't helping, y'know!!

[zeitnot]

[ yes ]

Perfect. Just the slime I wanted.

[reveiller]

I'm sure he'll try his hardest.

[reveiller]

A classic.

[dreamsofahero]

Which would be...?

[tearsofademon]

[sob]

...Wasn't that easy enough?

[tearsofademon]

If you're sure.

[toneless]

Must I really answer that?

[toneless]

[Good Ryner.]

Hmm. As long as you've repented for your grievous sin.

[Aaaaand back to eating dango (and not helping Ryner) she goes.]

[tearsofademon]

[;-;]

...Um... but seriously though, Ferris... can you give me a hand here?

[dreamsofahero]

I assure you, I have nothing but her well-being in mind, just as any of the other pokemon in my care.

[toneless]

And why are you incapable of solving your own problems, Ryner?
