With one hand tied to your partner's hand!

[If they can't move as one, they might as well not move at all! Gosh.]

[stridercentric]

[No no, it's not bad. It's ironic. Exactly what he'd look for in a costume title.]

Will do! [He'll do it for like... maybe ten minutes. Anything to finish the quest and move on to the next one.]

[thalassino]

Well I told him not to and he didn't clean it up anyway.

[The boy sticks his lower lip out petulantly. He's in the right here, don't try to make him sympathize with the enemy!]

[thalassino]

Why don't we take down the wall while the nice adventurer is collecting boxes?

[The boys sigh dramatically at that, but the thought of being able to send this adventurer out on a useless errand is incredibly appealing. They start taking down the wall.]

[devwocean]

[Says YOU.

And he'll totally have a muffin, yes.]

[thekidsare0kay]

what?
i2 there anything G00D ab0ut getting human married?
be2ide2 the party at the beginning, that i2.

[rebull]

[Summoner just chuckles, moving away from the brother's room, sending a glance the sister's way.]

Guess I see you in a few hours. [Boxes, so many boxes. But hey, he doesn't mind running about for a while, good for the legs/wings.]

[devwocean]

[thalassino]

[Now there's a note from both parties. From the wife:

"Oh, the wedding is definitely one of the best parts, but the honeymoon is even better! And having someone to stick with you through thick and thin is a wonderful thing.

Just, the snoring and all the tossing and turning at night is really quite a hassle."

From the husband:

"I sleep much better now that we're married! And I always get to wake up to my wife's lovely face. If you love a girl, you should marry her to show her that you're serious!"]

[thalassino]

[They'll be waiting! In true rpg fashion, by the time he's back the wall is gone completely. There's not even a trace of it in the trash. Who knows here it went?

It seems that the first boy wasn't exaggerating. The second boy's side of the room is a DISASTER.]

[stridercentric]

[Tempted as Bro is to just... not use the skill and face the casino manager head on, he knows how tutorials work. He probably can't get out of here without using the skill.

So he does.

He'll exploit the invisibility for all it's worth by sticking out a leg to trip the manager and then dropping the weighted dice on his head. Another quest brought to a satisfactory conclusion, he leaves the casino.]

[rebull]

[And it took a lot of time and asking around to get enough boxes, most regular box colour or white, but there are a few coloured ones, even some pink. Summoner's got them flat for the time being, easier to store and remove from his sylladex as he strolls back and sees- yeah, wow.]

Sure is uh, a lotta stuff you got there.

[stridercentric]

[Godspeed, exhausted mother. Bro will lean back against the wall, crossing his arms over his chest as he starts the story.]

Once upon a time, there was a little village out in the boonies called Loserville. Loserville was filled with a buncha weaklings who didn't believe in violence. Pacifists, the whole lot of 'm. That's why, for the past few years, Loserville was being plagued by a pack of vicious wolves. The wolves would eat their food, sit in their chairs and sleep in their beds. On Monday mornings, when the wolves were feelin' especially bad-tempered, they'd beat up the kids living in Loserville and take their lunch money.

Fed up with the wolves, the residents of Loserville decided to gather up all their savings and hire a specialist. That's how our hero, the Pied Strider, came to town. A dashing agent of justice, the Pied Strider was known far and wide for being downright awesome. Using his leet musical skills, he hypnotized the wolves and led them out into the forest, away from the village. The plan was to lock the wolves away in a cave, but just as he arrived at the cave entrance, he was approached by Lil Cal Riding Hood.

"Don't seal the wolves away," said Lil Cal Riding Hood in a pitiful little high-pitched voice. "They may have eaten my grandmother before my very eyes, but I've made peace with it. It's in their nature to be huge fucking douchebags. They don't deserve to die of boredom in a cave."

The Pied Strider shook his head. As much as wanted to spare the wolves of their wretched fate, the villagers had paid him to get rid of them. What was there to be done?

[... Is the kid still with him? This is only the prelude of the story, the real shit will hit the fan soon enough.]

[thekidsare0kay]

[Okay, this is getting weird]

yeah, uh.
i d0n't think i 2n0re.

[terribubbly]

I GU-ESS t)(at makes sense, but maybe you could )(ave vacation weeks?
I'm going to miss t)(is w)(en the curse is over. 38(
And if you )(ave )(olidays or somefin, everyone will reel in all t)(e newbies for you!

[parasolspinning]

Haa...

[Shiro lets out a relieved but amused noise, smiling rather brightly for having just gotten through all that.]

That was amazing! I didn't know I was capable of something like that! Thank you!

[thalassino]

Wonderful! Lets get started right away.

[And then they baked.]

[coolerthansora]

O-oh.

[Well, that's not so bad. He motions his Samurai closer and holds out his wrist. Just try not to scratch him with those claws, buddy.]

[thalassino]

[You need a far better moustache before Station Master will be interested in you.]

[coolerthansora]

Well, even so... Is it really that big a deal? He's your brother.

[behind_my_smile]

[And they will be the best cookies ever~]

[behind_my_smile]

On some worlds death can not be reversed. It is permanent. That means the nurses can't do anything to help him. Plus he was locked away in that tower where no one could reach him.

[420]

[Woah.

Randomly, Gamzee picks one of the brothers, turning to him.]

What kinda stuff does your bro get to grabbing off you?

[aim_exorable]

[Once they're all inside, something heavy and metal seems to slam down all around them, blocking off escape. Did he somehow get a cage in this little bakery?]

[Yes. Yes he did.]

[The sound of heavy hoofsteps is loud, and Arty starts to stride up, looking menacing with his mustache bristling.]

[shesapir8]

[Lets be honest half the time she makes little sense. Always choosing big words to make herself and her story seem more important. It really doesn't lend well to the story.

Though she herself is completely captivated by it, so when he starts to question her she blinks, frowning for a second]

The Neophyte? Oh she died easily. It was like swatting an insect, almost disappointing. She seemed like so much fun after all.

His Honourable Tyranny was more of a challenge in truth. The size of a seadwellers hiveblock and then some, and the teeth... As long as my arm [Stretches out the robotic one, the smooth metal catching the light a little] But he fell, just like her. Size is truly no match for speed and agility, and the Neophyte's blade was sharp enough to pierce the hide of him many times over. His death was slow and he grew so very angry before I finally gave him mercy and slit his throat.
