After the Party - Pierce and Irene

With something strange in his eyes, Pierce just pulled closer to Irene, as if seeking her comfort. He wasn't exactly showing worry. It was something else, something he hadn't shown since Millennium House. Vulnerability.

"It's not that I think I'd be any less of a man. It's... it's just that I've screwed up far too easily in the past, I don't trust myself." He admitted. Pierce avoided her gaze, looking into the distance, his demeanor depressed. "I was going to kill Faynoc. I was going to. Without hesitation or a second thought. Gaea just beat me to it."

"When I thought about everything he did, to Sam, to Mio, Moera, Myrie, Jeanette and Sakuya... everything he put them and countless others through..." He gave a long sigh. "I knew if I did it, that I would start killing a lot of our enemies simply because they've done things that are just as terrible as any one of Faynoc's. And even so, I was going to."

"That's what scares me. Knowing me, I'd end up taking it too far, and lose myself." He turned to Irene, emerald eyes locking with mismatched gems. "But... you've got it together, Irene. You don't take anything a step further than you intend to. And just by being you, you played a big part in getting me out of the self-deprecating rut I've been in for years. I still need to be more self-confident, but thanks to you I've come a long way in a short time. You don't know what that means to me, you incredible, amazing woman." He took her hands in his. "And your hands look beautiful to me." He smiled and kissed her soft hands. And then he kissed them again, and again, showing Irene just what he thought.

Then he turned her around on top of him. Fortunately, the tub was wide enough that the movement wasn't too awkward. He placed her so that they faced each other, Irene sitting on his lap and she could feel him pressing against her. Pierce took her hands again. "And this is how you hug." He placed her arms around his torso and did the same with her, holding her close. "I'll give you all the answers. So you just have to worry about doing the right thing, and I'll strive to become someone worthy of you." He whispered lovingly.

He pulled back a bit, and lined up his face with hers so their eyes met again, and their faces were only inches apart. "I want to say that one word. But I think that's something that should only be said when you want the person to know 'you're the one I'm going to be with for the rest of my life'. I want to show you. So I'm not going to say it, yet."

----------------------------------------

After the Party - Sophia and Tsubasa

Sophia smiled at Tsubasa's pose. She moved over to sit on the edge of the bed, facing Tsubasa, as she blushed profusely. "Uhm..." Her face had turned completely red for what she was about to do. "T- Tsubasa-san... I..." She gulped. "would you...?" That hadn't worked, so she took a deep breath instead. "I w- I want to-"

Oh, fuck it. "Whu- Wouldyouliketogooutwithmesometime!" She finally spoke at high speed her eyes closed and her face looking like it would explode. Then she became painstakingly aware that both she and Tsubasa were looking at each other naked.

----------------------------------------

Malll - Pierce and Chizuru

"A suit?" Pierce pondered. "I hadn't really thought of it. I guess I could give it a try." They stepped into the suits section, and Pierce started looking around.

After a while, "Ah hell, they all look the same to me. Could you help me out here, please Chizuru?"

Menarker · 09-05-2011, 02:45 PM

Before Party - Renny & Lola
-------------------------------

"Well that's very gentlemanly of you, Renny. As it turns out, I happen to know exactly how to pay you back."

Renny smiled, not arguing with her. He didn't need Lola to pay him back for footing the bill for dinner. But if it made her feel better, especially with the playful expression she had on her face, he wouldn't object.

After he paid, he watched with mild amusement for Lola to finish her cake slices (and the last few spoonful of his own).

"That was delicious. I hope you enjoyed it. So... where would you like to go? Or would you rather we just relax together at home? It's been a big day!"

--------------------------------
After the Party - Renny & Milsha
--------------------------------

Milsha looked thoughtful for a moment. "Well, to be honest, I could use a little brother. My problem is that I'm still too used to being part of the huge family I left behind. I can't do certain things without someone, y'know? So I was hoping to get a little brotherin' out of you to assist me with little problems. It isn't anything hard like that or nothing."

Renny hastily responded as if he didn't need to think twice for such a request, having forgotten how exactly she lived with her siblings before.

"I'd be happy to, err, help! ...But I never had siblings. Especially not a big sister. So, if I make a mistake or something, I'm sorry, ok?"

Bard The 5th LW · 09-05-2011, 08:41 PM

Jeremy Meets A Kimono

Apparently, Jeremy decided to hit on one of the hardest Kimonos to get, Takano Uchimura. "We come from the Hungry World," Takano said, mindlessly stroking her platinum blonde hair with her right hand and swirling some wine in the glass she held in her left hand. "The world eats other worlds, its residents eat other residents. Hence, Hungry World, 'cause everything is always eating everything else."

The gambler's facial expression did not change in the slightest. He just gave a small nod. "Whelp," he said aloud, and threw the amulet coin behind his back in Pierce's direction, "that settles that. May it serve you better than it did me Pierce." If he was upset his voice didn't show it.

"So whats your name then," he said to Takano. "I'm sorta new here and clearly a bit out of the loop."

Charlotte and Elizabeth

"Or if you're fine, we should drink more and really get into the party." Liz most innocently propositioned.

"Yeah, maybe you're right," she said in a more uplifted tone, "yeah your definitely right. I'm okay. Don't need his help." That didn't take much convincing! This was sort of bizarre.

Her eyes turned to Liz for a moment, trying to get some better recognition. She recalled the face, but no the name. "Uhh, what was your name again? Sorta forgot I guess," she said as she lifted her glass once more. Her tone was unusually friendly. Anyone who knew her better might have been scared.

Dracorion · 09-06-2011, 11:01 PM

Pierce and Jeremy

"Ah geez." Pierce mumbled as he caught the coin Jeremy tossed at him over his shoulder. The guy seemed fine, but Pierce did feel kinda guilty about it being a bet he knew he was going to win no matter what, and that he hadn't put anything of his at stake.

But Jeremy seemed content to talk to Takano for the moment. Maybe he'd give the amulet back to him later.

----------------------------------------

Charlotte and Elizabeth

Liz smiled wider. She was a little wary of Charlotte's unusual attitude, compared to how she acted when she wasn't drunk.

But screw it, she wasn't nearly done digging at her. "I'm Elizabeth. We met the other day." She explained calmly. And then she thought, why the hell not poke at Charlotte's buttons too. She did it to Pierce and was doing it to Renny anyway. God knows, she wanted to see if there was anything behind the crazy bitch. "But you know, we didn't really get to know each other very well, which is a shame. But I guess that's what this sort of situation is for, huh?"

Astral Harmony · 09-07-2011, 12:02 AM

Pierce & Irene

"It's amazing how you can just say whatever you have on your mind like that," Irene replied, unable to look at Pierce. "Yet another quality I wish I shared. Oh well, perhaps when I have nothing left to hide, I can open up completely, never to close again."

"Anyways, it's probably for the best that you don't say it," Irene agreed. "Let it stay embedded deep within. That way, I think we'll both have the strength to confront whatever would come against us all the way to the end, to a point where there's nothing left to do but to say it."

-----
Sophia & Tsubasa

"Calm down, Sophia," Tsubasa said, turning around to find her clothes.

The moment she stepped near them, Tsubasa did a superhuman speed twirl and, when she stopped only a split second later, she was fully clothed. "Well, since it seems like we'll be working together, we'll have plenty of sometimes to go out on."

-----
Pierce & Chizuru

"Hmmm," Chizuru said, looking around inside the store that sold what she was thinking about. "How about you try this?"

Pierce did so. For a woman with supposedly no fashion sense of her own, Chizuru wasn't half-bad at stumbling across good style. "Now kind of bang your head sideways like you're listening to Haddaway's 'What Is Love' song."

Chizuru, you're cruising for it.

"Yep, you totally belong in a night club, but it does look sophisticated enough to turn heads on the street, doesn't it?"

-----
Renny & Lola

"Yeah, we should be getting home. Oh, but one more thing."

Lola placed another order for even more slices of cake and then the two made it home.

"You don't like it, do you?" Lola asked Milsha.
Milsha scratched the giant anime sweatdrop out of her hair. "No, cake is fine. Honestly, I'm just not in the mood for sweets right now. But thank you, Renny and Lola. You're fast becoming the best roommates I ever had."
Lola blushed at the compliment for some reason. "Well thank you but...who were your roommates before?"
"I'll rephrase myself. You're the best roommates I've ever had even though you're the only roommates I've ever had."

-----
Jeremy & Takano

"I'm Takano Uchimura. I'm just a killer."

Well. This was going nowhere fast. Was this woman born without a sense of humor or anything?

Menarker · 09-07-2011, 12:31 AM

About 20 minutes after the date with Lola ended.
------------------------------------------------

The Gallade pokebrid smiled to himself about an overall good day. The scare from Lathiron, the attempted PC hijacking and Lola's tragic story of her family weighed on his mind, but overall he thought things went pretty well. He then recalled Officer Jenny's request as Renny took his headset and made out a message directed to Pierce.

"Hello? Pierce, this is Renny calling. I hope you had a good day.

I was approached by Officer Jenny today. They had finished examining the remains of Millennium House. They found no signs of any kind that Sam was in the area when it exploded. They figured you would appreciate the news... Hopefully there will be more clues to aid in the search. Have a good evening."

He then went to chat with Milsha and Lola until evening.

Dracorion · 09-07-2011, 03:25 PM

Way back in the past

What.

"Hello? Pierce, this is Renny calling. I hope you had a good day.

I was approached by Officer Jenny today. They had finished examining the remains of Millennium House. They found no signs of any kind that Sam was in the area when it exploded. They figured you would appreciate the news... Hopefully there will be more clues to aid in the search. Have a good evening."

Goddammit... He didn't want to... goddammit.

Pierce held his head in his hands as he sat down on his bed. There was a glimmer of hope growing in him, as much he as tried to push it down. He just... didn't want to get his hopes up that easily.

"Be more specific. Tell me everything she said."

Pierce sighed as he stood up and changed into the Alomomola costume required for his latest job. He was supposed to stand outside this quaint little romantic restaurant and advertise.

... He thanked God the costume at least covered his face, even if it was stiflingly hot in there.

The restaurant wasn't bad. It was a place he could take a girlfriend to. If everyone there didn't already know him at the Alomomola guy.

-------------------------------------------------

Pierce and Irene

"Well, it's not like I say that kind of stuff to just anyone." Pierce muttered, somewhat embarrassed. Then, "I'm really glad you chose me, you know."

And Pierce leaned back on the tub, closing his eyes and holding Irene in his arms, enjoying a pleasant bubble bath with his girlfriend.

-------------------------------------------------

Sophia and Tsubasa

Sophia smiled as she went around the room and picked up her clothes, not able to put them on quite as fast as Tsubasa had. "Y-yeah, I guess there will be."

After looking around fruitlessly, she finally found her glasses under the bed and put them on. "Uhm... did I really get up and sing in front of everyone?" She asked Tsubasa, face red with embarrassment. That particular memory of last night was something she was quite ashamed to remember.

-------------------------------------------------

Pierce's strange family

With a sigh, Pierce opened the door to his apartment. He had just gotten back from the aftermath of his birthday party, and he could really use a rest before he had to get to his part time j-

Both his mind and body stopped cold from the sight that greeted him. Then, "You don't ask me where I spent the night, and I won't ask you what you were doing with Alphonsine's autograph."
"Deal."

...

It was late in the afternoon when Pierce woke up. He groaned as he looked at the time and saw it was about time to get ready and head out.

He cleaned and straightened himself up and stepped outside to the kitchen to-

... Be suddenly rushed by ten figures that in no way fit in the small, cramped hallway, all crying out at different volumes. "What the hell?" Before he knew it, he'd been carried to the stools on the kitchen counter and promptly sat down on one. He had no idea who had carried him, though. Then realization hit him.

His Pokemon wanted to properly celebrate his birthday. It had completely slipped his mind that he told them yesterday that he'd be too busy to do anything then, so they put it off for today. It was their usual yearly attempt to bake a cake and sing happy birthday to him in Pokemon language.

And it was entirely adorable. Pierce laughed happily as Adamantitar placed a burnt, charred chocolate cake in front of him, with a bunch of mangled candles haphazardly placed on it, and all his Pokemon intoned their own names over and over in what one could vaguely recognize as the tone of happy birthday song.

"Thanks, you guys." He said gratefully, regarding his Pokemon fondly. "Really." At this, he found himself suddenly engulfed in another one of Adamantitar's strangely gentle bearhugs.

"Raaaoooogghhh" Adamantitar cried softly.
"I love you too." Pierce replied, returning the hug.

-------------------------------------------------

Pierce and Chizuru

"Huh." Pierce looked over the suit Chizuru picked out. "Lemme try it." He stepped into a changing room and put it on, raising his arms to show it off to her.

"Yep, you totally belong in a night club, but it does look sophisticated enough to turn heads on the street, doesn't it?"

He laughed. "Yeah, I like it. We'll take it."

...

After the picked out the suit and some other clothes for him, Pierce turned to Chizuru. "Do you have a swimsuit for the mission yet? Or, y'know, do you see anything you like?" Pierce asked her. "I mean... you've been a big help to me, and I don't mean just today. I'd like to at least be able to buy some clothes for you. At least that much."

...

When they went to pay to the cashier, Pierce handed her his credit card and turned to Chizuru once more. "Thanks for coming, I really appreciate it."
"Excuse me sir, your card was rejected." The cashier said.
"Oh, uh..." Pierce suddenly turned away, embarrassed, and reached into his wallet. "Okay, try this one."
The second card went through, and they paid for the clothes and walked out of the store calmly.

Damn, he may have to take another part-time job. It was bad enough having to handle Skuntanks and come back home smelling like stale ass doused in horseshit every night. But damn, he needed more cash.

...

"Oh right, Rachel's birthday is the same day as the mission, isn't it?" Pierce realized as he and Chizuru walked. "Maybe we should pick something up for her?"

He saw something in a store and walked inside with Chizuru, and picked up a simple silver necklace with a yellow Pikachu head in the middle. "You think she'll like this?"

He might have to sell blood or organs for this. Goddammit, he hated being a nice guy. Sometimes he found himself seriously considering going back to a life of crime just to pay the bills.

...

With Rachel's birthday present bought, Pierce and Chizuru left the store and... he saw something that gave him an idea.

"Hey, let's go embarrass me in front of everyone shall we?" He proposed, smiling, as he led Chizuru to...

The DDR machine. "Take it easy on me, will you?" He said to Chizuru as he started up the game and promptly tried to hit the panels with his feet. Chizuru was kicking his ass promptly, of course, but he still looked like he was having fun.

Maybe it was because of who he was playing with.

...

After promptly getting his ass handed to him, Pierce walked with Chizuru toward the food court for something to drink. He noticed a trio of teenage girls who seemed to talk even more excited at they walked by.

Not long after passing them, he was approached by... "Umm... excuse me, are you Agent Pierce Granger?" Said a cute voice from behind him. Pierce turned around with a surprised look to see one of the girls from before, who couldn't have been older than sixteen, blushing profusely and refusing to look him in the eye. "Uh, yeah?"
"C- could I have your autograph?" The girl stammered, holding out a pen and a napkin. "A- and, um... please sign it for Emily?"
"Y-yeah, sure." Pierce replied, completely baffled. Why would she ask for his autograph? Regardless, he took the pen and signed the napkin 'To Emily, from Pierce Granger' and handed both back to her. "Why do you want my autograph?"
"Well, we, uh... w- I wanted PATCA's Most Handsome Agent's autograph." The girl answered, blushing even more. "My friends dared me..." She mumbled. "Um, thanks!" She finally said, and ran back to her friends.

"... What the hell was that about?"

...

After a long day of shopping, they got some drinks at the food court and finally stopped outside the mall entrance. "Thanks again for coming." Pierce told Chizuru. "I had a lot of fun."

Menarker · 09-07-2011, 03:44 PM

Renny responded solemnly.

"I'm sorry, but that's pretty much all the details from her. Officer Jenny couldn't find any bodies in there aside from the Prideguard units that my group encountered in there before the place collapsed.

I also talked to Aster but apparently his ability is not something he can really channel at will, especially not for finding your sister, although he's working on developing his ability to control it. I think it's very important still that you talk to him though."

Bard The 5th LW · 09-07-2011, 05:35 PM

Jeremy & Takano

"I'm Takano Uchimura. I'm just a killer."

Ooh, a tough one. That was good Jeremy liked a challenge.

"I don't have a problem with that!" he exclaimed lightheartedly with his arms up in the air, "in fact, some of my best friends are killers. Won't give any names, but I guess its obvious who they might be."

Dracorion · 09-07-2011, 05:35 PM

Pierce sighed. No trace of Sam meant she had gotten out of Millennium House somehow, or... was blown straight to bits by the bomb.

"Alright, thanks."

Still, Renny had just discounted one possibility for Sam's fate. That left him a fifty-fifty shot. Which was something. Though, he couldn't help but think that, if Sam had gotten out, where was she and what was she even doing? Liz's words from back then came back to him, about Sam possibly doing it, joining the Harbingers, of her own free will.

Pierce shook his head, throwing off those thoughts. There was nothing he could do for Sam right now. He could only stay alive, and continue to work for PATCA saving the world.

... So he finished putting on the Alomomola costume, and headed off to advertise a restaurant.

May it serve you better than it did me Pierce." If he was upset his voice didn't show it. "So whats your name then," he said to Takano. "I'm sorta new here and clearly a bit out of the loop." Charlotte and Elizabeth "Or if you're fine, we should drink more and really get into the party." Liz most innocently propositioned. "Yeah, maybe you're right," she said in a more uplifted tone, "yeah your definitely right. I'm okay. Don't need his help." That didn't take much convincing! This was sort of bizarre. Her eyes turned to Liz for a moment, trying to get some better recognition. She recalled the face, but no the name. "Uhh, what was your name again? Sorta forgot I guess," she said as she lifted her glass once more. Her tone was unusually friendly. Anyone who knew her better might have been scared.

I hope you had a good day. I was approached by Officer Jenny today. They had finished examining the remains of Millennium House. They found no signs of any kind that Sam was in the area when it exploded. They figured you would appreciate the news... Hopefully there will be more clues to aid in the search. Have a good evening." Goddammit... He didn't want to... goddammit. Pierce held his head in his hands as he sat down on his bed. There was a glimmer of hope growing in him, as much he as tried to push it down. He just... didn't want to get his hopes up that easily. "Be more specific. Tell me everything she said." Pierce sighed as he stood up and changed into the Alomomola costume required for his latest job. He was supposed to stand outside this quaint little romantic restaurant and advertise. ... He thanked God the costume at least covered his face, even if it was stiflingly hot in there. The restaurant wasn't bad. It was a place he could take a girlfriend to. If everyone there didn't already know him at the Alomomola guy. ------------------------------------------------- Pierce and Irene "Well, it's not like I say that kind of stuff to just anyone." Pierce muttered, somewhat embarrassed. Then, "I'm really glad you chose me, you know." And Pierce leaned back on the tub, closing his eyes and holding Irene in his arms, enjoying a pleasant bubble bath with his girlfriend. ------------------------------------------------- Sophia and Tsubasa Sophia smiled as she went around the room and picked up her clothes, not able to put them on quite as fast as Tsubasa had. "Y-yeah, I guess there will be." After looking around fruitlessly, she finally found her glasses under the bed and put them on. "Uhm... did I really get up and sing in front of everyone?" She asked Tsubasa, face red with embarrassment. That particular memory of last night was something she was quite ashamed to remember. ------------------------------------------------- Pierce's strange family With a sigh, Pierce opened the door to his apartment. He had just gotten back from the aftermath of his birthday party, and he could really use a rest before he had to get to his part time j- Both his mind and body stopped cold from the sight that greeted him. Then, "You don't ask me where I spent the night, and I won't ask you what you were doing with Alphonsine's autograph." "Deal." ... It was late in the afternoon when Pierce woke up. He groaned as he looked at the time and saw it was about time to get ready and head out. He cleaned and straightened himself up and stepped outside to the kitchen to- ... Be suddenly rushed by ten figures that in no way fit in the small, cramped hallway, all crying out at different volumes. "What the hell?" Before he knew it, he'd been carried to the stools on the kitchen counter and promptly sat down on one. He had no idea who had carried him, though. Then realization hit him. His Pokemon wanted to properly celebrate his birthday. It had completely slipped his mind that he told them yesterday that he'd be too busy to do anything then, so they put it off for today. It was their usual yearly attempt to bake a cake and sing happy birthday to him in Pokemon language. And it was entirely adorable. Pierce laughed happily as Adamantitar placed a burnt, charred chocolate cake in front of him, with a bunch of mangled candles haphazardly placed on it, and all his Pokemon intoned their own names over and over in what one could vaguely recognize as the tone of happy birthday song. "Thanks, you guys." He said gratefully, regarding his Pokemon fondly. "Really." At this, he found himself suddenly engulfed in another one of Adamantitar's strangely gentle bearhugs. "Raaaoooogghhh" Adamantitar cried softly. "I love you too." Pierce replied, returning the hug. ------------------------------------------------- Pierce and Chizuru "Huh." Pierce looked over the suit Chizuru picked out. "Lemme try it." He stepped into a changing room and put it on, raising his arms to show it off to her. "Yep, you totally belong in a night club, but it does look sophisticated enough to turn heads on the street, doesn't it?" He laughed. "Yeah, I like it. We'll take it." ... After the picked out the suit and some other clothes for him, Pierce turned to Chizuru. "Do you have a swimsuit for the mission yet? Or, y'know, do you see anything you like?" Pierce asked her. "I mean... you've been a big help to me, and I don't mean just today. I'd like to at least be able to buy some clothes for you. At least that much." ... When they went to pay to the cashier, Pierce handed her his credit card and turned to Chizuru once more. "Thanks for coming, I really appreciate it." "Excuse me sir, your card was rejected." The cashier said. "Oh, uh..." Pierce suddenly turned away, embarrassed, and reached into his wallet. "Okay, try this one." The second card went through, and they paid for the clothes and walked out of the store calmly. Damn, he may have to take another part-time job. It was bad enough having to handle Skuntanks and come back home smelling like stale ass doused in horseshit every night. But damn, he needed more cash. ... "Oh right, Rachel's birthday is the same day as the mission, isn't it?" Pierce realized as he and Chizuru walked. "Maybe we should pick something up for her?" He saw something in a store and walked inside with Chizuru, and picked up a simple silver necklace with a yellow Pikachu head in the middle. "You think she'll like this?" He might have to sell blood or organs for this. Goddammit, he hated being a nice guy. Sometimes he found himself seriously considering going back to a life of crime just to pay the bills. ... With Rachel's birthday present bought, Pierce and Chizuru left the store and... he saw something that gave him an idea. "Hey, let's go embarrass me in front of everyone shall we?" He proposed, smiling, as he led Chizuru to... The DDR machine. "Take it easy on me, will you?" He said to Chizuru as he started up the game and promptly tried to hit the panels with his feet. Chizuru was kicking his ass promptly, of course, but he still looked like he was having fun. Maybe it was because of who he was playing with. ... After promptly getting his ass handed to him, Pierce walked with Chizuru toward the food court for something to drink. He noticed a trio of teenage girls who seemed to talk even more excited at they walked by. Not long after passing them, he was approached by... "Umm... excuse me, are you Agent Pierce Granger?" Said a cute voice from behind him. Pierce turned around with a surprised look to see one of the girls from before, who couldn't have been older than sixteen, blushing profusely and refusing to look him in the eye. "Uh, yeah?" "C- could I have your autograph?" The girl stammered, holding out a pen and a napkin. "A- and, um... please sign it for Emily?" "Y-yeah, sure." Pierce replied, completely baffled. Why would she ask for his autograph? Regardless, he took the pen and signed the napkin 'To Emily, from Pierce Granger' and handed both back to her. "Why do you want my autograph?" "Well, we, uh... w- I wanted PATCA's Most Handsome Agent's autograph." The girl answered, blushing even more. "My friends dared me..." She mumbled. "Um, thanks!" She finally said, and ran back to her friends. "... What the hell was that about?" ... After a long day of shopping, they got some drinks at the food court and finally stopped outside the mall entrance. "Thanks again for coming." Pierce told Chizuru. "I had a lot of fun." __________________ Dracorion's dumbass color is Royal Blue. If you see that color, you better run the fuck away. Last edited by Dracorion; 09-07-2011 at 05:27 PM.

Menarker OMG! WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW? Join Date: May 2006 Posts: 3,802	Renny responded solemnly. "I'm sorry, but that's pretty much all the details from her. Officer Jenny couldn't find any bodies in there aside from the Prideguard units that my group encountered in there before the place collapsed. I also talked to Aster but apparently his ability is not something he can really channel at will, especially not for finding your sister, although he's working on developing his ability to control it. I think it's very important still that you talk to him though." __________________ THE BIO OF RENNY TRESSERHORN THE BIOs OF POKEMON UMBRAL! Last edited by Menarker; 09-07-2011 at 03:52 PM.

"I don't have a problem with that!" he exclaimed lightheartedly with his arms up in the air, "in fact, some of my best friends are killers. Won't give any names, but I guess its obvious who they might be."

No trace of Sam meant she had gotten out of Millennium House somehow, or... was blown straight to bits by the bomb. "Alright, thanks." Still, Renny had just discounted one possibility for Sam's fate. That left him a fifty-fifty shot. Which was something. Though, he couldn't help but think that, if Sam had gotten out, where was she and what was she even doing? Liz's words from back then came back to him, about Sam possibly doing it, joining the Harbingers, of her own free will. Pierce shook his head, throwing off those thoughts. There was nothing he could do for Sam right now. He could only stay alive, and continue to work for PATCA saving the world. ... So he finished putting on the Alomomola costume, and headed off to advertise a restaurant. __________________ Dracorion's dumbass color is Royal Blue.
