#knyfernchat

Jedediah: "Everyone done their research on the area? Sounds like our biggest worry is the wildlife rather than the monsters."

Dipper: "Wildlife? I already did but.. what's so scary about the wildlife?"

Alina: She gave a snort. "You have no idea, silly boy."

Seraphina: "...It's the Poppy Meadows...you haven't been there Dippy?"

Dipper: "I haven't, since some people told me it's a two ranked area."

Seraphina: "...You're really lucky then..." Sera frowns, arms wrapped around herself as she looks away. "It's not...a fun place to go..."

Jedediah: "The gist of it is there are yellow poppies around that will put you to sleep if you aren't careful"

Mukuro: The soldier keeps her silence as she listens to the groups conversation. She has heard of rumours but not all rumours were true.

Alina: Simply shrugs. The last time she passed by, it wasn't hard with her powers that had come back. "We'll be careful."

Jedediah: "That and we are going to have to deal with some walking trees, shouldn't be too hard with 5 of us here!"

Jedediah: "Hopefully I didn't just trigger a death flag..."

Dipper: "Don't even jinx it."

Seraphina: "...Please don't jinx us Leader, not in that area..."

Alina: "If he does I will personally take care of it."

Mukuro: She raises a brow at the comment, recalling what happened the last time he had said that.

Jedediah: The blond laughed, "I'd prefer if you used your powers against the mobs rather than me"

Seraphina: "No, use it on Leader, please."

Alina: "We'll see." She gave a huff. "Let's get going then."

Jedediah: "Glad to see how much you trust me! I brought a few of the Potions we'll need but did anyone else bring any?"

Seraphina: "I have a few..." She looks at her bag, "Like around seven..."

Alina: "I brought a good ten. I was hoping this thing will be sorted out before we all fall asleep."

Mukuro: "Do you mean Sunflower Potions? I have six but most of them are in my bag rather than on the belt." She has kept most of her potion grenade there for convenient use after all.

Jedediah: "Then if Dipper brought any we will have more than 30 of them altogether, I'd hope you guys don't plan on falling asleep more than that~"

Seraphina: Sera immediately frowned; there was no way she'd fall asleep there again. She didn't want nightmares, "...I'll burn the flowers if I have to..."

Dipper: "Sadly, I haven't. But I know my spells might protect me just in case."

Alina: She considered her options. No way was she removing her nose- to hell with Voldemort. But perhaps a creature with bigger lungs? One that can hold their breath longer? Hm.

Mukuro: The soldier who has heard Sera's comment stares at her for a moment before looking away.

Alina: "Walking seems to be the best solution, unless someone's got a horse?" She didn't want to waste any more energy than necessary, and there was a tension that seemed to hover over the group today. Hopefully it'll dissipate on its own.

Jedediah: "Well I have a plan nonetheless" The boy stood back and took a deep breath before pulling out an arrow which he used to etch a magic circle into the dirt, after few moments a rabbit appeared in the middle which ran towards his own feet.

Jedediah: "I'll use this guy in front of us, if a plant is there we'll know"

Seraphina: "...I have a horse...technically anyways." It was a reward for a...quest she did.

Alina: "When did you have the time to get a horse?"

Seraphina: "...Reward..." She didn't want to say which quest to, didn't want to bring up back memories.

Jedediah: He picked up the critter he spawned and cradled it in his arms, "Sounds nifty to have around, not sure what we could use it for now but you never know"

Alina: "Alrighty." She gave a shrug. "But is the rabbi edible?" A, no.

Dipper: "Yeah, for easier transportation!"

Seraphina: "Nina...don't eat the bunny..." Her love for rabbits are showing.

Mukuro: She checks her inventory as the others speak, making sure that everything is tied in place and secure before looking up towards the bunny... Will Jed let her pet it later?

Jedediah: "I haven't tried," He shrugged, "Though I'm sure eating a summon can't be good"

Alina: "Can't make promises. Now let's drag our asses to find grandma."

Dipper: "Wow Mukuro, I never knew you had a soft spot for bunnies." And because of that, Dipper knew things he hasn

Dipper: --*t known before.

Seraphina: At that, Sera takes a few steps away from Dipper, just in case.

Mukuro: The soldier only looks away. Had she been that obvious?

Jedediah: "I accidentally summoned about 6 of them at the last town, you can all have your own," he shrugged.

Seraphina: "Though, speaking about summons..." A small fire bird appeared on her shoulder, staring at them with black eyes, "I can summon Suzaku again...even if she's this small."

Jedediah: "I agree with Alina, Let's go!"

Dipper: " I don't want any... Mabel can have it if we get back to Koi." Dipper said with a shrug then he joined the crew. "Okay. I'm going, I'm going."

Seraphina: Bunnies! Sera had to push down the squeal when Leader said they could have one each. She loved bunnies!

Mukuro: She definitely has plans on searching the town later for the bunnies once they returned from the mission. But still, that comment still made her face heat up as she tries to look at their surroundings for any signs of anomaly.

Jedediah: "Nice to meet you Suzaku," He set down the rabbit in his hand and it obediently ran ahead of him excitedly. "Let's follow the bunny!"

Alina: "Cute pets." A muttered as she eyed them. There wasn't any point in keeping them... even if the idead wasn't too bad. No- she was too busy. With that, she jogged behind the rabbit.

Seraphina: The bird nodded at him before letting out a sharp chirp when Sera immediately followed the bunny with a giggle. "Kay~"

Mukuro: The soldier snaps into attention at the order, following behind the others as she pushes the thoughts away.

Dipper: "That's some bird you got there." Dipper said to Sera while he watched the bird with interest.

Jedediah: What he forgot to mention is he had made a few overly friendly slimes in town alongside the rabbits, hopefully they hadn't caused too many problems for the villagers... "Sera since you've been here before, any idea where the quest givers grandma could be?"

Seraphina: "Hmm? I guess so, huh." She smiled when Suzaku seemed to chirp in pride. When hearing the question Leader asked, her mood immediately dropped. "Well, if she's at the Poppy Meadows, chances are she's fallen asleep in the main meadow..."

Alina: "Maybe we should keep a human chain then-one going out further and further. Least that way we hand an anchor."

Dipper: "Hm, good plan. But on another tip, never let go."

Seraphina: "But who's in front?"

Mukuro: "Or we could drink a Sunflower potion first before heading forward to the field."

Jedediah: "Human chain huh? We only have 5 people, though it's good to have the ideas. I agree with Mukuro though, we have plenty of potions, so we can spare a few"

Alina: "I'll go an find her, why not. Whoever is behind me can come find me and carry a few potions if I ever run out. It's like a relay system."

Dipper: "Or pick a few people from the group to get our main objective. Just to save stuff with the potions?"

Seraphina: "I could go find her, I know the area well." Perhaps too well for her own liking.

Alina: She gave a shrug. Sera had a point. "If you want to. I'll be behind with you, then."

Jedediah: "Out of the question, no one is going out solo, the consequences for getting caught are obviously listed."

Jedediah: He sighed, that came out bossy but whatever those nightmares were he knew couldn't be good, "No point being a hero if you suffer"

Jedediah: "First we get as far as we can with the rabbit, then we can decide from what we see, does that work for everyone?"

Seraphina: "I'll be fine though, I've been through this. It shouldn't be as bad as facing the Alpha Night Mare."

Alina: She gave a narrow of her eyes. "Alpha Night Mare?"

Mukuro: She stands in attention, waiting for the final decision. Tactics has always been what the leader does and her trainers has always told her not to rush into things head first. An advice which is sometimes... pushed aside in the situation of things.

Seraphina: She stiffened, she shouldn't have said that, "Ignore that. Anyways, I'll be fine."

Dipper: "Okay, this is noted for me."

Alina: Whatever that was, she was keeping an eye for Sera. That would explain the odd atmosphere she felt settling in today.

Jedediah: "I can guess what happened from the name, but unless something drastic happens stick with the group for now"

Seraphina: ".....Fine....." She sighed, rubbing her hands together. She just wanted this quest to be over and done with...

Jedediah: "The main meadow should be coming up soon, everyone keep a potion on hand"

Seraphina: She opens her bag and takes one out, "Yep..." She's still a little miffed at the situation.

Alina: Popping open the seal, she tilted it back to give an experimental taste.

Dipper: Looks ready and grips his potion tight with him but can't help notice at Sera's odd behavior.

Mukuro: The soldier grabs the potion from her bag rather than the one on her belt. Since there weren't any enemies nearby, it should be fine.

Jedediah: He watched as the rabbit went into the grass, "Wait..."

Seraphina: She stiffened, hand going to her dagger in case it was an enemy. Inwardly, she was pleading that it wasn't a Night Mare.

Alina: "What is it?" She finished sipping up the last bit of the potions. It was surprisingly tasteless for her tongue.

Jedediah: Several moments passed without movement before the rabbit popped it's head back. Jedediah let out a sigh, "False alarm." Last thing he wanted was for his summon to suffer at all

Mukuro: Once the potion is drank, she keeps the bottle into her bag, intending to return the potion master for more. Though, she couldn't help but keep her gaze on the ginger. Her behaviour to today seems strange but it wasn't any of her business to ask so she'll just keep an eye out.

Seraphina: She pursed her lips, quickly drinking the potion before glaring at Leader, "Don't make me worried like that..."

Jedediah: The boy laughed than gave a grin towards Sera, "Nothing to worry about, I'm just making sure the rabbit is fine"

Alina: She evened her breathing, taking deep breaths and shifting her lungs. Eventually, she was sure she could hold her breath for a few good minutes. A precaution- just in case the potions won't do it.

Alina: "Onward we go, I suppose?"

Jedediah: After pushing aside the brush he gestured for the rest to follow him, carefully watching where he walked. Hopefully he looked like he was in control of the situation, it seemed everyone else was handling it in their own fashions.

Seraphina: She lifted up the scarf she had started to wear after the Flowering Fear quest and pulled it over the lower half of her face. She was really hoping they didn't run into any Night Mare's.

Alina: A was about to open her mouth and reply before seeing some lurch towr

Alina: **towards her. "What..?"

Dipper: Of course he drank his own before joining the quest. It has to be done eventually. With him following from behind them.

Jedediah: Maybe the bigger challenge was going to be getting everyone to think clearly in the situation. What they were fighting we're just plants, dangerous as they may be, they still follow the basic patterns of plants. Their actual enemy was the unknown...

Seraphina: "Nina? What's wrong?"

Jedediah: He immediately turned around at Alina's voice in a frantic attempt to decipher her question, "..."

Alina: Giving a disgusted noise, he gave a quick bash with her leg at the Slime. "Really? Slime 2.0?"

Seraphina: She gave a sigh of relief; just a slime.

Dipper: "Those things again, should we head on or..?"

Alina: "Yea. I don't want to deal with them today."

Jedediah: Shaking his head he glanced forward again towards the front. Step one: 'look like he knew what was going on' had already failed, maybe he was overthinking things now...

Mukuro: At the cry, Mukuro turns her head. The gun immediately leaving her holster until she found the situation being dealt with and leaves them in her hands on standby.

Seraphina: Looking around cautiously now, she freezes when she sees something in the trees. Oh no, please don't let it be... She narrows her eyes slightly; okay, it wasn't a Night Mare. Phew.

Dipper: Dipper gripped his staff. Whatever is going on, he doesn't like it. "Leader we'll attack if they do something to us."

Alina: She gave a jump, leaping ahead slightly into the meadow. "Where's that bunny now?"

Mukuro: At the mention of the bunny, she scans the fields, trying to search for the little critter.

Dipper: "It's probably eaten, the poor thing." Stop right there Dipper.

Seraphina: "No, not the bunny..." She whimpered, immediately looking around. Where is it?

Mukuro: And at that, Mukuro gives a furious glare to the boy.

Dipper: "What did I do?" Dipper took a step back at Sera and Mukuro. Was it something he said?

Alina: "Guess they got to it before me."

Jedediah: Jedediah was trapped in his own thinking, of course slimes were everywhere but they couldn't let that get to him. What did the plants look like? He should have asked Sera... Or he still could but he needn't worry her anymore than she already was, something was off with her. With the powders from the flutterby's in one hand and a potion in the other he was prepared for anything right? By this point Jedediah was so far into though he had lost track of what was even happening, "..."

Seraphina: "W-Was the bunny really eaten?" She looks at Mukuro with a frown.

Mukuro: "I'm not sure." Her answer is honest as it is blunt as she looks away from the boy and rises a little from her cover to get a better look at the field.

Seraphina: "...Leader, is the bunny...dead?"

Jedediah: What were they talking about? Wait, where did the summon go... Agh, he broke another one of his rules. After saying he shouldn't overthink anything he did just that.

Jedediah: "No it isn't dead," He didn't know but that was the most likely answer, "There's nothing to worry about"

Seraphina: She sighed in relief, "That's good...so what do we do now?"

Dipper: "Stick with the plan?" He suggested.

Jedediah: "It means a plant is just ahead, we can either go around it or chug a potion and walk through."

Mukuro: She turns to stare at the leader, her question sent to him before she make another action. "Where is it then?"

Seraphina: "...I could burn it..." Please let her do it, let her take her revenge on it...even if its a small plant. Even if it's not the poppy.

Jedediah: Although he tried to remain calm, he needed to get the rabbit... Only way to despawn it was to touch it and use his power

Alina joined the chat

Jedediah: Who was he kidding? Jedediah grabbed a potion and chugged it before shrugging, "don't follow my lead" With that said he began to walk forward into the brush for several moments.

Seraphina: "L-Leader!?" She was about to take a step forward before stopping; he said not to follow him. Oh no, what if the potion didn't work? What if there's a Night Mare in there or -

Mukuro: "I'll go after him," she announced and left before anyone else got a word in.

Alina: What a mess. "It's be smart to stay here. We cant have everyone leaving."

Seraphina: Now even Kurin's gone after him! She really didn't like this, her body started to shake - she's close to hyperventilating now. "No....why..."

Dipper joined the chat

Jedediah: It didn't take long before he spotted the rabbit lying down, a plant nearby seemed to match what he thought the poppy looked like. He couldn't let anyone else see the rabbit having the nightmare, now it was time to work...

Alina: Her attention was drawn to Sera. "Sera. Are you okay?"

Jedediah: Jedediah placed his hands on the creature and went into the trance, first thing, find what the cause of the nightmare was and build an immunity inside the creature.

Seraphina: "T-They shouldn't go in there alone...they don't know what's in there..."

Mukuro: The soldier makes her way through the path where she has seen the leader taken, finding him there unaware of her presence. She stands guard a short distnce away, keeping her senses peeled as her looks out for enemies.

Alina: If she pieced together everything she gathered correctly..."Sera, you have to trust them. Besides, they have each other's back. Dont worry." Why was she the one comforting? She was probably the most ill fitted, her with her logic.

Seraphina: "But if they face a Night Mare...they can't get out of it...they are on a completely different level then the flowers." Even she couldn't without the help of Suzaku.

Jedediah: The plants needed time in between attacking and he could use it to work, he memorized the immunity needed than began to remove the data building the bunny and it slowly began to disappear.

Alina: She remained silent. "How about a compromise- We'll go in as well in fifteen minutes if they haven't returned."

Dipper: "Those guys are crazy, if something happens to them, I don't really want to know what's going to happen next."

Seraphina: She shivered at the thought of going in there but...her friends had walked in. "...O-Okay..." She immediately whimpered at Dipper's words, "Don't say that!"

Dipper: "Actually A, I'm gonna go through with your plan instead."

Dipper: Good idea Dipper, then you could make a lot of people worry too.

Alina: She gave a nod, patting Sara rhythmically. "Good. And now we wait."

Mukuro: The forest doesn't seem as quiet as the soldier thought it would when she spots what looks like a large antelope closing in to their position. She keeps her pistols steady as she observes it approaching. Just one more step and she'll be able to get a clear shot....

Jedediah: "aaand finished, now who was the person who followed me in," He turned around to see Mukuro, figures. "Thanks for the backup, everything good now"

Jedediah: Honestly he was surprised, he expected to see everyone behind him, someone must have talked some sense into the others, "Let's get back to the others, I know where the plants we need to avoid are"

Seraphina: "...Have fifteen minutes past yet?" She started to pace back and forth, every now and then looking at the bush.

Dipper joined the chat

Dipper joined the chat

Mukuro: And she bit back a curt response when the creature is alerted by his voice. It's sharp calls resounding rather loudly in her ears. She could keep calm as the thundering of hooves enters her ear. With that, she shouts one word "Run!" before taking off herself.

Alina: "No, we have another five."She kept her eyes on the trail where they disappeared, ears strained to pick up anything. Those idiots better hurry.

Dipper: "It seems like it, we need to be sure. A! What's the stats?"

Dipper: "Okay, but I think I heard some roars over by there?" Dipper pointed at where Mukuro and Jed has left them.

Alina: She gave a hard facepalm. "Get ready to boog it out."

Seraphina: "...So I wasn't imagining it then..." It didn't sound like any Night Mare she knew...what else were in the area? "Wilderbeast?"

Dipper: "Those are level 20 monsters and my magic can't beat them. Great."

Jedediah: Mukuro seemed to attract danger no matter where she went, He bolted along side her, they needed to find an open area.

Seraphina: "So...we're running?" She could try and take one but...not around these areas where everything can catch on fire.

Alina: She was more passed with how this mission was going awry than concerned. How dare that little deer ruin her day. To say she was ready to tear it apart was an understatement. But her powers weren't completely back, she cant risk it. Giving a brisk click of her tongue, "Lets move out."

Dipper: "Okay A, you're the boss." Dipper nodded and followed A's lead. "One more thing, be careful!"

Seraphina: "Running then," Yeah, that's something she can do. Yep!

Alina: she gave a grumble under breath as they avoided the Wilderness. Where was the leader when you needed him?

Mukuro: The soldier takes the lead as she jumps pass the roots and push the through the forest. The herd seems like they're not willing to give up until all of them were stomped to death. And currently she has no plans whatsoever. Only a tactical retreat sounds plausible right now.

Jedediah: "Mukuro, we need to signal the others, you got any of your weapons that are bright enough to grab the attention of others?"

Mukuro: The soldier wastes no time with a response as she pulls out a grenade and threw it high up in the air in front of her and uses a pistol shoot the bottle in the air, causing a loud booming sound in the air surrounded by smoke and fire.

Seraphina: She almost tripped at the sound, quickly looking up, "That's one of Kurin's grenades!" Wait...position wise... "They're behind us somewhere..."

Dipper: "Guys, I see the signal!" Dipper shouted while he pointed at the sky. "They're in trouble!"

Alina: "Take a left!" She called. If theyre all headed in the same direction, they might as well avoid the catastrophe and take a less head on approach.

Dipper: Dipper nodded and went the other way. He was worried as the other guild members are. Where the heck is Mukuro and Jed?

Seraphina: And a left she takes, jumping over a log that just so happen to place itself there. This was one of the reasons why she didn't want to be separated!

Alina: "We gave a choice here- try and attack from behind or lie low and wait for those two to come back to us via texting."

Seraphina: "A-Attack from behind. That might be better...I hope." Waiting might take too long and what if they need help?

Jedediah: They needed a way to incapacitate the monsters all at once, any status ailment was said to be ineffective after a short time- but that might be long enough to knock them out.

Dipper: "Seems reasonable but okay, " Another reason to use his cellphone for the quest. He doesn't like getting separated either but it's part of the plan.

Alina: "Right, let's take a loop-" She ducked, trying not to draw attention to anything that seemed to be alive and watching. "And take them down one by one. Dipper can tell them where we are if needs be."

Seraphina: "Okay then." Looks like she's going to take them out the old fashion way, with her dagger. Again, fire is a horrible element to be an expert at, especially in these parts.

Dipper joined the chat

Jedediah: He rushed to grab his phone messaging the rest of the party, 《Find the nearest yellow poppy and Mukuro and I will lead them into it, we have the potions but the beasts will be stuck for a moment, use that as a time to attack》

Mukuro: Not slowing in her run, she tries to pick up the speed that she lost from that grenade throw. It takes a little while to reach Jed and as soon as she does, she suggested an idea in her head. "Leader! Do you have any Faerie paralysing dust? Throw them behind us if you do!"

Dipper: "And if I hear another gunshot, I'd warn you." Dipper said to them while he looked around for any suspicious things. He can feel the tension in the atmosphere.

Seraphina: The buzz from her phone told her she got a message; p-poppy? Uhh, that would help, yes... With some hesitation, she looked around. She kind of recognized this area... "I know where there's a batch of poppy's."

Alina: 《you cant tell me what to do》 she typed as she looked around, annoyed. "Quick! Sera, lead. we have you covered."

Seraphina: "O-Okay then. It's through these trees, there should be a large patch!" Obviously she'd remember this, it was the same one she had almost fallen prey to.

Alina: She quickly typed their location to the troublesome pair, before downing another potion. "Right, lets get through to the other side and wait for them to catch up."

Jedediah: "Mukuro get a potion ready, we're running straight through one of the poppy fields!" 《Glad to hear we're on the same page》

Seraphina: She really didn't want to go back there, she really didn't. But, drinking another potion and lifting her scarf up she headed through the trees and landed in the flowers. She closed her eyes immediately and held her breath; now was not the time to be thinking about this!

Alina: 《you owe me donuts》 She was panting as she typed this on the other side, waiting for the rest of them to join.

Mukuro: And here goes with a change of plans as she quickly snags the Sunflower potion from her belt and down the liquid. The bottle went sailing behind her as she threw it behind her to chance some damage on one of the beasts.

Seraphina: 《Donuts, yes please...》 She texted as well, standing up shakily and without realizing it, latched onto Nina's arm.

Dipper joined the chat

Dipper joined the chat

Alina: "!" She looked over, feeling out of place as usual with the whole comforting or supporting act. But since she had nothing better to do, she left Sera cling on.

Jedediah: 《Once we're done with this the quest will be as good as done》 As he ran he dug through his bag finding several pre-inscribed pieces of paper and summoned 3 different rabbits, this time with the immunity and sent them off. By the time they finished with the wild beasts the rabbits should have found their rescue target

Dipper: Dipper is having a bit of trouble but managed to find Mukuro and A too on his own and received a message from their leader too. << guys, when is the signal? >​>​

Dipper: "Uh, hate to spoil your fun but what are you guys doing?" Dipper was exhausted from the long hike earlier and saw A and Sera hugging each other. You're too observant Dipper. He sat down on a rock while waiting.

Seraphina: And immediately, she releases Nina and looks around. Oh look, there are a couple of burn marks on the ground from the last time she was here!

Alina: "We're having so much fun right now." If her tone was anymore sarcastic she'd be able to fool anyone into thinking she was serious.

Jedediah: 《I'm sure it'll be loud enough that you will know, just get your weapons ready 》

Dipper: "Leader said to get ready," Dipper told Alina and Sera after he checked his phone. He doesn't know what they're doing but they must be prepared.

Mukuro: "What's the plan?" she shouted the question out as her legs dodges the roots and bushes.

Seraphina: "R-Right..." She drew her dagger and looked around again, the tip of her shoe digging into a small pile of ash on the ground. "...Surprised to see this still here..."

Dipper: "What caused all of this?" Dipper gestured towards the burn marks. "I hope you don't mind me asking."

Alina: "Hmm." She quickly drew her knives out. At least she could go wild with these; theyre not falling apart like before.

Seraphina: "....Me...." She answered meekly, looking down. "I caused this..."

Jedediah: "We run through some poppies and it'll stun them for long enough for us to either scare or incapacitate them" Unfortunately as he was right now, there wouldn't be much he personally could do

Mukuro: "Right." With that plan in mind, she could experiment the new grenade that she has been working on... But is it worth the risk?

Dipper: "... I'm sorry I didn't know," He quickly apologized. Dipper is now aware that he triggered a sensitive subject on adjective. "Um, but let's stick to Leader's plan, okay?"

Alina: "Theyre coming." A short warning for the thundering hooves.

Seraphina: "Y-Yeah...." She just needs to forget about the last quest, just for now. Focus on this quest.

Dipper: "Okay, now we just wait." Dipper focused back on the sounds of the thundering hooves.

Jedediah: Flinging himself past the brush he found himself standing before a large patch of the poppies. Now they just needed to wait for the beasts to catch up and hop into the field all together.

Seraphina joined the chat

Alina: She tensed up, watching as Jedi launched himself into the poppies.

Seraphina: "Leader's here..." She frowns, if he was here, it meant the monsters would be here soon.

Jedediah: The boars just on his tail he jumped into the field, drinking down another potion he stared directly at the beasts as they ran into the powder of the poppies, "NOW"

Mukuro: Once out in the open, the soldier ran towards the opposite side of the field, and she stands there waiting until the beast charges into the field and starts to slow down. With that, she shouts out a warning before throwing the new gear towards the midst of the group. Ice starts creeping up their fur and freezing them on the spot.

Dipper: He watched and waited for the instruction. Dipper looked at A and Sera, "Let's go and do our parts!"

Seraphina: At the command, she threw a couple of Agi's at the boars, making sure not to accidentally hit any of her friends. The flowers could burn for all she cared. Well, at least she took out the ones that weren't already frozen by Kurin's grenade.

Alina: "Hell yeah." She gave a quick once over before launching herself at the nearest beast, giving it a firm quick on the neck and before slicing away with her knives.

Mukuro: Then, she goes guns a blazin' before the ice melts off. Who knew how long this prototype would last.

Dipper: Raising his staff, Dipper cited an incantation as blue magic started to surround his entire body. He waved the staff over a couple of beasts, freezing those guys. "Aha, I always wanted to try that spell in action! I can't believe I'm doing it!"

Dipper: His magic may not be that strong but he knows it will hold them off for a little while.

Seraphina: More ice? Was it a thing now? Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, she dug her dagger in the neck of one of the beasts, giving it a sharp turn before pulling it out.

Alina: She yanked the bloody and warm blades out, feeling satisfied despite the gruesome work. "Last few, hurry!"

Dipper: Dipper never saw so much gore in his laugh but something has to be done. "Got it, Sera! We're almost there!" He managed to freeze the boar's feets again. "I can't keep this up much longer either!"

Jedediah: Grabbing a pair of new brass knuckles he had bought recently to replace his bow, Jedediah leaped into the fray bashing several of the beasts in an attempt to knock them out

Mukuro: As the ice begins to crack and fade, she holsters her gun, running into the fray to slid a beast's throat before it could get up.

Seraphina: What was the next level after Agi again? Agidyne right? Ooh the poor flora. With this in mind, the Agi's stop to make room for much larger Agidyne's.

Jedediah: Kicking the last one out of commission he grinned, "Mighty fine work everyone,"

Seraphina: "Did you find the granny?"

Jedediah: "No, but almost, one of the rabbits I sent out to find her should be coming back soon"

Dipper: "I hope they're not eaten.." Dipper close your mouth, someone else could be worried about them.

Jedediah: Jedediah peered around at the bushes, as he had said there was a slight movement and one of them bounced up to him, "This lil' guy will lead us to here, everyone let's go"

Jedediah: "After we're done with this I'll treat you all to some donuts, does that sound good?"

Dipper: "Yeah I miss out since the first quest, why not?"

Nicolette: ❝ I can't believe we're the only ones here today. Everyone else is slacking!! ❞ How dare the rest of the group just fuck off while they're at the guild... sitting around. This is hard work. Sure, she might be sitting at the bar drinking, but it's still Guild work. Probably.

Espresso: "...If I recall, what you consider hard work is..." Gestures to her. Drinking. She's drinking too. But. Well. Actually there is no excuse. "...I am sure they are out trying to find something to do."

Espresso: Cough cough, "should we find something to do?" A quest? Something. Espresso is bored too. Even nobles get bored.

Nicolette: Wow, it was a really good idea to put a bar in this place, wasn't it? ❝ Not even Luffy's here. I don't expect jack to be but — aaaaaaaaaaaaAAAA!! ❞ Suddenly, she'll down the rest of her drink and stand up. ❝ This boredom is starting to kill me. You're right. We need to go do something or — ... something. ❞

Nicolette: ❝ How dare they leave us here and go off on their own — we can do that too! And we'll make lots of money. ❞ There's nothing two beautiful ladies can't accomplish.

Espresso: "We can do without ruckus." She could do without Nicolette too, but she isn't gonna say that. She needs to socialize sometimes. "...Is there any jobs for us to do?"

Espresso: "Very true, heh."

Espresso: "Do we need the money? ...We have a bar here, and Luffy brings in leftovers...sometimes."

Nicolette: ❝ I'm sure there's something. I heard some rumors about an Inn across town. That should be the first place we check. ❞

Nicolette: ❝ The money can be used for potions at least... those might come in handy. ❞

Espresso: "Very well." Gets up from stool. Empties drink into Nicolette's cup. "We shall go, yes?"

Nicolette: Oh. Well, she'll finish the rest of that drink too and toss the cup ???? somewhere. Who cares. They're doing this. ❝ Right. I've passed the Inn a few times so I can take us there. ❞

Espresso: Ignores her comment. Luffy or Killian could steal those. "Yes. Lead they way, Lady Nicolette." Walks in front of her anyways.

Nicolette: Well, they'll probably need money for SOMETHING at some point. It has to be there for a REASON?

Nicolette: ROLLS EYES LOUDLY. Without much thought, she'll grab a bottle of rum from behind the bar — she'll need it — and walks after Espresso.

Espresso: Sad she can't conjure jack shit, only has a shitty wooden staff she would never have to use if her ass wasn’t weakened

Nicolette: ❝ It's quite a walk, I hope you're prepared for that. ❞ Yeah, TELL HER about it. This nerf shit is BS.

Espresso: "Feh. Are you doubting me? I could walk to the other side of the world in these heels." That's a lie. "Do you intend on sharing that cheap excuse of alcohol?"

Nicolette: ❝ Ooooooooof course not! Why would I ever? ❞ She's being sarcastic, but whatever. Espresso can rock a pair of heels, that's no lie. ❝ Sharing is caring, Ms. Beans. I'm sure it'll come in handy. ❞

Espresso: Squints, what is sarcasm. People don't use sarcasm with a homicidal maniac. She'll steal it from Nicolette if she's super thirsty. Kill her? Probably can't beat a girl with a stick, when that girl has a shitty but better dagger. "...Do you want something from me? Or do...you mean you plan on sharing the rum?"

Nicolette: She just did, didn't she? They're both homicidal maniacs so it's probably fine. Yeah, good luck with that. They're both pretty much on equal terms, but Nicolette has blood powers. At a time like this, Nicolette could probably beat her in a fight. ❝ Normally, yes, but I'm feeling generous, so I don't mind sharing. ❞

Espresso: Shakes her head and sighs. Whatever. Free rum. She's okay with that. She looks at the sky. Why is it only the afternoon. Why did it storm. Fuck her life. "...Is there anything in particular that you want to speak about." Dies inside. she hates speaking, but staring at trees isn't any better.

Nicolette: Um... wow... this is. Okay. Uhhhh — ❝ I dunno... tell me... about your... self??? ❞ That's what you're supposed to say to people, right? This'll take some getting used to. They're both so much alike it makes things difficult.

Espresso: Stares up into the sky. Why. Why is she going to talk about herself. "I have a daughter. ...Do you have one?"

Espresso: "...You have to have one, right?" Squints, if she didn't, that would be weird.

Nicolette: ❝ Oh, right. Amel. I've met her a few times. Um — me? No... no kids. Not really my thing... plus there's never really been an... opportunity. ❞ Well, excuse her for being abnormal, but a kid isn't really the reason WHY.

Espresso: "...You are twenty, or so...right?" She's so confused. "Your family had to pair you with someone at a young age...did he die or something?"

Espresso: "And yes...Americano. She is my daughter."

Nicolette: ❝ Yeah, but — ❞ Aaaaaaaaaaaa. ❝ Not... necessarily. Actually, it was my family that died. It happened during an earthquake when I was pretty young so... I guess they didn't have a chance to pair me up with anyone. ❞ She'll put this in terms that Espresso will understand. ❝ The person that took care of me after well... eeeehhh he was scum of the Earth, so... ❞

Nicolette: ❝ Amel is... she's a strong girl, I can say that much. We don't really get along, but I respect her headstrong personality. ❞ Wow, that was the nicest thing she has ever said about Amel. Holy shit???

Espresso: Squints. Oh she's from Earth. "Ah, I see." Sorry for her caretaker being shit, but she won't say that.

Espresso: Holy shit? Espresso won't even say that? Whoa bro, high five. "On my planet, you have children around the age of sixteen. Usually you only have one child though."

Espresso: "Americano and I have an endearing relationship," lies, "We often go out to lunches together. She is much more friendly if you get to know her." Lies-

Espresso: "...You either have a possible ruler child, or you spawn many slaves." Shrugs. She was supposed to be a peasant but no one needs to know that.

Nicolette: ❝ You gotta live with the hand you're dealt, I guess. Sadly, you can't choose family. ❞ Running a hand through her hair, she listens with genuine interest??? ❝ Wow... that young? That's must've been shi — sucked. ❞ Nicolette doesn't believe that last part, obviously. She's seen the two interact, but she won't comment. It's not like she would be a much better mother. ❝ Huh... that sounds like a mess. ❞

Espresso: "I live through hardships," She gives a fake ass smile, like the usual. "After all, being a ruler itself is a rather hard job. Americano works hard to do me good." Now her turn to be normal and socialize. "...Do you have a favorite hobby of some sort? Most people do...er, right?" They suck at this thing.

Nicolette: ❝ Right... same. Aside from the ruler part. ❞ She's been a fucking bum for most of her life so, she can't really understand the other side of the spectrum. ❝ Hobby... ❞ Ummmmmm. ❝ Does murder count? I — shit, okay... I like to... fight?? ❞ No that doesn't sound right either. ❝ I like to cook... I'm just not very good at it. What about... you??? ❞ WOW this is HARD.

Espresso: "...I shop." She buys so much shit it's kind of horrible. "Or I...I too, do a bit of, er. Fighting. But only when necessary." Or when a certain someone spills ice cream on your coat. "Sadly I do not have my weapons for that." Frowns at her hobby though. "There is a cooking class in Koi. I have been meaning to attend. Would you like to join me? It's only 200 Koins for two people. I will pay."

Nicolette: ❝ Oh, I like to do that too! I didn't even think of that. ❞ Nicolette WISHES she could buy so much shit. That's a good hobby, Espresso. ❝ It's nice, huh? Though I'm a little too reckless sometimes. ❞ She gets the shit beat out of her so much, but she always wins in the end so it's fine. She has some cool scars, wanna see? ❝ Yeah, this place is fucking stupid. I don't see the point in trying to make us weak. ❞ Wow?? Espresso?? Holy shit. ❝ Oh — yeah, that'd be cool. We'd be better than anyone in that class, obviously. ❞ I — It's not like i want to go or anything... b — baka!!

Espresso: No. Scars are gross. She can show you the jars of blood from her dead and fallen enemies though. Not like she collects them. Whistles. Totally doesn't. "Shopping is rather enjoyable, it's stress reliving." Grins for real once. "I'm glad you would like to go. I will arrange for Americano to purchase two class seats...although they might be full." Chuckles. "I can arrange space," wiggles her staff around. Totally not implying she would murder for a class spot.

Espresso: Looks around. "...Are we almost there?"

Nicolette: Nicolette would actually like to see that, yes. She would be very interested, in fact. ❝ I agree — though I usually have to steal first before I get a chance to buy anything. ❞ Wow look at that they're both grinning. Amazing. ❝ Wonderful. I like the way you think! ❞ Even if it wasn't full... kill them anyways? ❝ Yeah, actually. I can see it now. It's just up the street. ❞ Right on time!

Espresso: Nice, she sees it with the smoke coming out of the chimney. "Perhaps I shall take you shopping in the luxury district. The eggs there are rather hard shelled. Apparently a sport is "egging people" on Earth. Is this true? We can purchase eggs and egg...uhm," Thinks of a random person in her guild, "Killian. I'm not sure what egging is, but perhaps he would enjoy it." She would probably for fun, anyways smh. "What do you think the owner will have us do?"

Nicolette: Nice!!! Cooking class?? Shopping?? Amazing. ❝ Yeah, actually. I've taken part in it a few times. It's fun, you'd enjoy it. ❞ Now THAT is an idea she can get behind!! She'll grin. ❝ That's a great idea. I think he'd really like that. ❞ Two hot girls egging him? he won't know what the fuck to think. ❝ Hopefully kill something. I want to fight monsters. ❞ Upon arriving at the Inn, she'll open the door and walk inside ( holding it open for Espresso as well ) — ❝ Yooo!! Anyone here!? We're here for a job!! ❞

Espresso: Smiles. She kind of cares for her guild. She wants people to enjoy themselves before she kills them—leaves back for Koi. "I am glad. Shall we surprise him or tell him in advance?" Rolls her shoulders as she walks into the inn, nodding her thanks. ...The innkeeper comes out, lookin' old and wise, but they're carrying a mop and bucket.

Espresso: Shit. "...Ah. You want us to clean?"

Espresso: She's a rich ass lady who murders people for fun. You expect her to clean? Stares at Nicolette because she doesn't know what to do.

Nicolette: That's so great. Espresso is so caring. So kind. ❝ I think we should surprise him. That makes the excitement all the better! ❞ And also he won't try to hide from them if he doesn't know. ❝ Uh... ❞ Haha, how are they supposed to kill with THOSE?? HAHA WHAT. ❝ ... ❞ Looking back at Espresso, she considers leaving, bit first — ❝ What do we get for it? ❞

Nicolette: The wise old man tells them they'll both get a free weeks stay at his Inn and Nicolette considers this. That might come in handy. She'll look towards Espresso for her opinion. ❝ What do you think? ❞

Espresso: She's tired of hearing Luffy snore. No one cares about his god damn desire for ham. Holy shit. It's so annoying. "We have walked quite far, what do you say? I will take it."

Espresso: Jots down: Surprise Killian with Nicolette. Buy hardshelled eggs.

Nicolette: ❝ Yeah, I need a break from staying in that place with a bunch of loud, obnoxious men. I'll do it. Hell, how hard can it be? ❞ Good, their plan is coming together. Perfect.

Nicolette: The old dude tells them they need to mop, dust, sweep and clean windows. Sure this is... fine.

Espresso: She doesn't even know how to do half of those. She has fucking maids for heaven's sake. "...I will." She doesn't know what she's going to do. "...I er." She's not going to admit it. Stares at the mop placed in her hand.

Espresso: "...How do you do this, Nicolette?" Very serious face.

Nicolette: Nicolette stares back at Espresso, wondering for a moment if she's joking or not. It doesn't look like it. ❝ Uh... okay, right. Well how about I do the mopping and you wash windows? ❞ Grabbing a rag and submerging it in the bucket of soapy water, she pulls it out and wrings the water from it before handing it to Espresso. ❝ All you need to do it scrub this over the glass and that should be good enough. ❞ If only this place had windex. This SUCKS.

Espresso: She only knows how to scrub herself free of blood, not the fucking windows. She kind of stares at it. "...I will try my best," awkwardly places the towel on the window.

Espresso: Turns around to look at Nicolette. How does she know how to do these things.

Nicolette: Just think of it like that. Nicolette doesn't do much cleaning herself, but she's seen it a lot on tv. One doesn't really have to clean when they're homeless. She'll get the mop wet, wring it out too, and starts pushing it across the floors.

Espresso: She doesn't even watch TV. Awkwardly scrubs windows.

Espresso: "The dirt is coming off..." She's so amazed, she sparkles. "Is this the work of magic?"

Nicolette: ❝ No it's... well, sorta. It'd be a lot easier with Windex but they don't have that on this stupid island. ❞ She grunts and begins cleaning the other half of the floor. ❝ This bastard better be thankful for us doing this. ❞

Espresso: "He is giving us a free room." She could kill him and they could have a free room but SHhHh h .

Espresso: Stares at her. "What is windex?"

Nicolette: ❝ That free room better come with free breakfast. ❞ If only this were Koi and then they could just do that. This stupid island has too many dumb rules. ❝ It's a chemical cleaner. It works better than soap. ❞

Nicolette: Dumping the mop back into the bucket of water, she wipes sweat form her forehead. ❝ Jesus... this place needs AC. ❞ It's too HOT. Frowning, she moves to the front door and props it open with a piece of wood to let from air in. She then starts looking around for a duster or something.

Espresso: "...I will purchase twenty pounds for my maids at home then." She makes note for that. "I will force him to make us breakfast." She scrubs the window as she stares at Nicolette complaining. She is truly a wonder.

Espresso: She moves onto the next window and frowns, this is so boring, but a week away from Jack is truly freedom.

Espresso: "How did you meet...er, Handsome Jack?" She needs some kinda entertainment, she HAS to talk.

Nicolette: ❝ I'm sure they would appreciate that. It'll make your house look better too, I'm sure. ❞ Speaking, of breakfast, she's hungry. They'll have to grab lunch after this, cleaning is hard work. Grabbing another rag form behind the counter, she begins to dust the many knick-knacks in the Inn. ❝ Uh... hmm. Let's just say I didn't have anywhere to go and he took me in. It wasn't as pretty as that sounds, though. ❞

Nicolette: ❝ I was basically a bum, but I guess Jack saw my uncontrollable violence as a talent. He gave me food and a place to stay, so I guess he liked that I was loyal to a fault, too. He hired me as his assistant, but instead of paperwork or phone calls, I killed and tortured his enemies for him without question. That was a long time ago, though. We only just met up again when he arrived in Koi. I resumed my work as if it had never ended. ❞ Humming, she carelessly places the oil lamp she'd been dusting back in its place.

Espresso: "Ah, I see. ...Well, thanks to you, I believe Jack and I will be working together more in the future." Scrubs thoughtfully as she thinks, "You are his er, right hand woman...correct? What is it that he does, exactly?"

Nicolette: ❝ He does seem to have taken a liking to you and Killian. ❞ Moving to a shelf, she'll begin dusting there as well. ❝ Yeah, I guess you could say that. Jack is... well, just ask him and he'll tell you: a Hero. ❞ She rolls her eyes. ❝ He was CEO of Hyperion. Don't know much about it myself, I only really followed Jack's orders. ❞

Nicolette: ❝ But he's planning something big for Koi, that's for sure. ❞

Espresso: Raises eyebrow, "Hm. I like I lady who doesn't ask questions. Americano and you are similiar in a few ways, it seems." Whatever big is planned, sucks shit she's stuck in it now. "The...er, pirate, as he is called...he is rather interesting too. What is a pirate if I may ask? I mean, we don't have those in my homeland."

Nicolette: ❝ Trust me, I'm not some worker bee that does whatever I'm told — Jack's the only exception to that, but that's loyalty for you. I give him his fair share of grief, though. I'm the only one ALLOWED TO, after all. ❞ She takes a certain pride in her role. It's nice to feel special, even if it for shit reasons. ❝ The pirate... right, Killian. Yes... interesting is a word to describe him. ❞ She smiles to herself. ❝ We've got a bit of history too — not all of it is very good. Pirates they... they sail the seven seas in ships and pillage towns looking for treasure. At least, that's the storybook version. I don't know much about Killian... he is a man of many secrets. ❞

Espresso: "Oh? So we're in a black market-type business?" Not like she hasn't done her share of crime but still, okay then. "...As long as you know where the line is, you can obey him with ease." Nod nods as she scrub scrubs. Finally finished a second window, like eight more to go WOOO boy. She wishes she had magic. "...He plunders though, Jones? I noticed he only had...one hand?"

Nicolette: ❝ Sure, in a way. I'm not entirely sure about Jack's plans yet... but he'll tell me eventually. ❞ It's all very exciting, isn't it? ❝ Jack has learned to put up with a lot of my shit, I think. And so have I. Thank God for that. ❞ She's finished mopping, but still has half the Inn to dust. Sooooo fun. ❝ I'm assuming. I never really got to see him at work on his ship. Not sure what happened to it, never asked. And his hand, well... ❞ She's only heard very brief mentions of it, and wonders if it's really her place to speak about it. ❝ All I know is that it was taken by his mortal enemy, or something. ❞

Espresso: "Oh? He fights hand to hand I see." She probably could kick his ass unnerfed. She chuckles, "It seems like an endearing partnership, I'm sure you two have your moments," Winks mentally. She wishes she didn't accept this quest, but free room and food. "...Do you regret accepting this quest?" Cue sigh.

Nicolette: ❝ Yeah, ask him about his sword. ❞ She has to stop and laugh about that one. Haha, she's hilarious. ❝ Sure, I suppose we do. I kick his ass weakly at PPP. ❞ She dominates him... in the game. ❝ Yeah, I mean, cleaning it boring, but it's not all bad. We're both learning shit we didn't know... even if it's pointless stuff. ❞ In a way it's nice, she thinks. It's not often she gets to have this kind of casual talk with someone.

Espresso: She doesn't casually talk with anyone. Ever. She's a noble. No one even blinks in her presence, not even Americano. She's glad someone is so at ease around her. "His sword? Can I ask about such things so easily? ...Just go up to him and ask, Killian, show me your sword and tell me about it?" Tilts head, weird, she wouldn't want people asking about her snakes. "True, I believe it is a good opportunity." Okay, three out of ten windows down! Scoots over to the next, "what's PPP?"

Nicolette: They're both Queen Bitches. Nicolette doesn't care about that bullshit. Surprising how things work out. ❝ ...Sure. I mean, it's probably fine. KIllian loves to talk about his big sword. ❞ Oh Espresso, kinky. Nearly finished with her dusting, Nicolette continues the rest rather half-assedly. With that finished, she'll move to the other side of windows and begin scrubbing them as well. ❝ It's a boardgame. Killian got it in his welcome package. ❞

Espresso: She's innocent how dare you make her ask Killian to show her big sword. She scrubs the window, wow, she's done practically nothing. "His sword can't be that large, unless he is an idiot. Then, he deserves to have one hand." She tilts her head, "A board game? What type of game is that?"

Nicolette: Oh come on! Killian is too much of a gentleman to just whip it out... probably. ❝ He is an idiot, but that's beside the point. ❞ Go ahead and tell him that, then. ❝ It's like... a game you play sitting down at a table. There's usually a board with spaces on it and you're trying to get to the end so you can win. ❞

Nicolette: She's already finished one window. Now they're down to four windows.

Espresso: Espresso is so bad and so slow at this. She prefers paperwork, honestly. Are there bills to be paid or reviewed? She could probably do better with that. "Well, intelligence doesn't matter if you can fight, I suppose." She's finished her window, now onto the next, woohoo. Four. "How do you have time to sit around and play games?"

Nicolette: That's okay. Nicolette honestly didn't expect much from her to begin with. Luckily, their almost done, and then it's an entire week away from the Guild base. ❝ Yeah, I guess you're right about that. ❞ Nicolette has started on her second now. The end is in sight. ❝ I dunno, how do you NOT? There's nothing in the City of Love keeping me all that busy. ❞

Espresso: "..." Well she had shopping to do, and listening to her son babble on. "Don't you work? Or shop? I do not find myself...talking to people or sitting down so often."

Nicolette: ❝ Work? Sure, but not for Koi. ❞ She works for Jack, remember. ❝ And I don't make enough money to shop all the time — believe me, I wish I did. ❞ And by make, she meant steal. ❝ Neither do I, but that's because I usually fill my time with violence. Talking is nice once in awhile though. You should try it more often, you might like it. And you learn a lot more... useful information that way. ❞

Nicolette: Second window down. Now onto the third.

Espresso: Shrugs, "Americano tells me everything I need, she's responsible. I often end up sitting in my thr—er, office chair, filing paperwork from her research or doing personal meetings."

Espresso: Now onto her fifth window, TWO MORE, freedom is soon.

Espresso: "I promise we'll shop, egg, and cook together after this," nods her head. She needs a friend or two anyways.

Nicolette: ❝ Is that so? I guess I'll have to watch out for that if I plan to keep my secrets... secret. ❞ Poor Amel, that's some fucked up shit. Not all of us can be working members of society, Espresso.

Nicolette: ❝ That's good to hear. I don't ever want to clean again after this. ❞

Espresso: If you want to work for her, it's 24/7. "...I could hire a maid as well, if you need one." She's spoiling Nicolette more than she spoils Americano.

Espresso: She moves onto her sixth. She has never felt so free.

Nicolette: No offense, but that sounds awful. ❝ A maid? Shit... ❞ A maid to clean her apartment? ❝ I'll have to check with Jack on that first, since we're partnered up. If he saw some stranger in the house he'd probably kill them. ❞ Stuff!! Things!! Spoil her, please.

Nicolette: ❝ You're better at this than I thought you'd be. No so bad, for your first time. ❞ She did better than Nicolette expected. They're both on their last window now. Amazing, they actually did it.

Espresso: "Do you have to get his permission?" Americano doesn't even obey HER rules. Can she kill Jack and take Nicolette. What the hell. "I can use a dead corpse, I'm sure there's a spell for that...just a dummy to clean, not pry." She won't mention she can control it, lel. She scrubs the window. "Thank you, I do not plan on doing this again... And thank you for showing me, and inviting me. I will enjoy being free from Allen and Luffy's meaty desires."

Nicolette: ❝ Not really, but it'd be best to give him a heads up. I don't need to come hope to a dead maid. ❞ What a waste of money that would be. And then SHE would have to clean it up. No thanks. Please don't kill Jack. There's enough Nicolette to go around. ❝ Wouldn't that start to stink? ❞ She's not a fan of rotting corpse. ❝ Yeah, no problem. I didn't really expect to be cleaning, but hey, if it gets me out of that place for a week I don't care. I think we deserve a week of sleep and our food not being stolen. ❞

Espresso: "Perhaps I can ask them to find us wine too, something to relax a bit?" She's done. FREE AT LAST. Espresso drops her towel in the bucket. "I don't know, I haven't tried it myself." She doesn't even know if pulling dead bodies from their graves and resurrecting them to clean was legal in the magic books. It's not like that stopped her before, but she didn't wanna throw poor Nicolette intro trouble.

Nicolette: Speaking of alcohol — she tosses the rag aside to pull the bottle of rum form her bag. ❝ I guess we'll be saving this for later, then? ❞ She almost forgot! How foolish! ❝ Guess we'll have to test it out then, sounds fun. Haha, I bet it's scare the SHIT out of people. ❞ That sounds awesome, imagine someone seeing a dead maid cleaning their house — they'd piss their pants!!! ❝ Let's get this old bag to give us our reward now. My hands are all pruny. ❞

Espresso: She chuckles, it sounds like a good idea if Nicolette seems so thrilled. "If anyone gets scared, it's not my fault." She doesn't need to indirectly kill someone when she can do it herself. "We can drink that for a good night's rest."

Espresso: She claps in agreement. "I would like a meal...and some rest." She had to walk here, even if she did no work, she needs her eight hours.

Nicolette: ❝ Of course, we can't be held accountable for a... harmless trick. ❞ Anything to have a good laugh. If they lived, they could always be killed later. ❝ Sounds like a plan to me. I need to be constantly drunk in this place to keep form losing my mind. I don' know how anyone can put up with this shit sober. ❞

Nicolette: And with that, their quest was complete. Obviously with enough intimidation they'd get their free week AND meal.

Luffy: Barely remembering to open the door, Luffy practically bounced in - never mind that he wasn't rubber anymore. "Hey guys! This Lady will give us donuts if we stop the foxes! We have to get her tools, okay?"

Nicolette: Looking up from her place at the bar, Nicolette barely has time to roll her eyes at Luffy's ridiculous behavior before he's rambling on about shit that makes no sense. ❝ Real helpful, Luffy. What Lady are you talkin' about? ❞

Allen: Although previously preoccupied by working out the mechanics and weight of his flimsy sword, Luffy's announcement cut like a siren: specifically, the portion about donuts. Performing an about-face, he raised his hand. "I'm in!"

Nicolette: Now that she thinks about it, she might've heard some rumors about that. Of course these two fools would accept such a job without hesitation — it in involved food, after all. ❝ Was it that chick that's always takin' a nap? What kinda dumbass passes the fuck out and then feels surprised when her shits stolen. I say she deserves it. ❞

Luffy: Luffy laughed as Allen immediately was on board for the quest, good to know people knew what was really important! The donuts! All the other stuff was boring. But, he tried to answer Nicolette's question anyways. "You know, the Lady!" He thought for a moment to think of better ways to describe her, luckily he was able to without turning red in the face. "The baker Lady! Baker Rilly??" He grinned as Nicolette helped give more information about the Lady. "Yeah! Her! She sleeps as much as Zoro! Shishishi. But, we have to help her!! We don't get donuts if we don't! Please Nicolette!"

Nicolette: ❝ Haaaaaaah? You're really asking me to help out this dumb broad? ❞ Sighing as if terribly inconvenienced, Nicolette finishes the rest of her drink and stands up. Looks like she doesn't have much of a choice, does she? These idiots wouldn't stop talking about donuts until they stuffed their mouths. ❝ Well, whatever, I guess it's fine. Donuts sounds good anyways. Let's do it then. ❞

Allen: Allen returned his sword to its sheath as it became apparent their departure was imminent. "There's a safety in numbers. Besides, we need all the food we can get." He then turns to address Luffy. "Do you know where to go?"

Nicolette: ❝ Yeah, because YOU TWO eat as much as an entire army!!! ❞

Allen: Twitch. "There's nothing wrong with that." His tone was unyielding.

Luffy: "Yeah!!" Luffy cheered and threw his hands up in the air upon hearing Nicolette's agreement. Donuts were always good. Maybe not as good as meat, but still really good. "I can't wait until we get the donuts! I hear they are supposed to be really good. I wonder if the baker lady would give us meat too if we do a good job?! I really would like some meat too!" He continued to ramble about food, not even hearing Allen's question or Nicolette's remark.

Nicolette: ❝ The entire Guild would starve sooner than you two could eat enough to feel full! ❞ Nothing wrong? Yes, of course Allen. Denial is definitely not a good look for you, but fine. Nicolette scoffs, grabbing a small knife from the bar, shoving it into the small bag at her hips.

WHATEVER ALLEN you're such a baby. ❝ If you're too loud you'll scare the stupid foxes away. ❞

Luffy: Eventually getting out of his food rambles, Luffy turned to Nicolette again. "Hey, why are we still hanging around here for? The sooner we finish the quest the sooner we can get donuts!" He just conveniently forgot that he wasn't paying attention for the last couple of minutes.

Nicolette: ❝ I dunno, YOU are supposed to lead the way. ❞ There she goes, massaging her temples. ❝ I can't believe nobody else is here today. Idiots. Anyways let's go then, I'm hungry and full of alcohol. There's no better time to go kill shit. ❞

Killian: Just then, the one and only Captain Hook arrives and steps into the room or whatever location their in. "Sorry I'm late," he apologizes with a smirk. "I got caught up in some other business."

Luffy: "I was?" Well, that was news to Luffy. "Yosh! I can lead the way then!" He completely ignores Killian's not so impressive entrance and turns to go out the door he just came in through. "....Where were we going again?"

Nicolette: ❝ Wow — were you like... waiting for me to say something? Were you LURKING, Killian? That's kinda creepy. ❞ Thank God someone else is here to help her deal with these fucking idiots.

Nicolette: ❝ 'Other business', right, sure. ❞

Killian: "Of course not, love. I just happen to have good timing," Killian smiles. Also, wow Luffy. Wow.

Allen: ... Oh! It's... him! This guy. The name escaped him -- how unmannerly. "Ah, welcome back. Luffy was going to--" Oh. Perhaps they weren't about to be led. Is this quest Luffy spoke of even real--?

Nicolette: ❝ Okay, wow. This is — ❞ Covering her face with her hands for a moment, she'll step beside Luffy... and slap him over the head. ❝ Don't ask us to go on a quest with you if you can't take us there, dumbass! You're lucky I know where this place is. ❞

Nicolette: You're not rubber anymore Luffy, she can actually hurt you. How nice!

Luffy: Luffy blinked at Killian, only noticing he existed when Allen pointed him out. "Oh! It is him!" He didn't even try to remember the other pirate's name. Not that he had much of a chance since Nicolette smacked his head. "Ouch! That actually hurt! Not being rubber sucks." Though Nicolette's comment did get him back on track. "Ah! Right the quest! Shishishi silly, of course I know where it is! It's at the Holy Place!" They would probably lessen the risk of getting lost if Nicolette just lead them.

Nicolette: The Holy Place... is Luffy taking them to Heaven, what the fuck is happening.

Killian: Hook looks around at the few people that actually stand within the room. "Aren't we still missing quite a few members? Where are they?"

Nicolette: ❝ Probably fucking around like you were while the REST OF US bust our asses working. ❞ Okay, well she was just drinking but...

Luffy: Luffy looked around the room, just realizing that they were in fact missing some people. "Ahh, maybe they got lost? Oh well, us four is more than enough to take care of some foxes!!"

Allen: --And he took the leap to point that out. "... But you were drinking."

Nicolette: EYESZOOMS AT ALLEN. ❝ And you were stuffing your face as usual, fatass. ❞ OOOOOOOOOH got 'em.

Allen: LET'S FIGHT. "At least eating is better than drinking away my problems." Two can play at this. He knows about people like you. He's ready.

Luffy: Luffy just laughed at the two's antics, used to seeing such arguments on his own ship, "You two are funny! But come on, we need to get to the Hoil Place and beat up foxes!"

Luffy: He just really wants the donuts

Nicolette: YOU BITCH. ❝ I'm an adult I can drink away my problems if I want to! At least I don't stress eat like some angsty teenager! ❞ Back OFF Allen, what the fuck. Why are you BULLYING ME.

Killian: "I have to say, drinking is my preferred course of action." Hook shrugs, pulling out his container of rum.

Nicolette: THANK YOU, Killian. This is why Nicolette likes you, among other reasons. ❝ I hope you plan to share that. ❞

Luffy: "Donuts! Donuts!" Luffy was close to leaving everyone behind and doing the quest himself for the sake of donuts if everyone didn't stop fighting.

Luffy: "Let's go already!"

Allen: Ah... they could not forget what was important here. The donuts. Turning away from the other two and joining Luffy, he clenches his fist. "I won't stop until those donuts are ours."

Luffy: Luffy nodded at Allen's words. He could always count on the exorcist for remembering what's really important.

Allen: He's got your back, bro.

Nicolette: Wow?? Don't fucking turn away from me like that? Fucker. Whatever, okay, she grabs Killian's flask from his hand and takes a swig before handing it back and following them. ❝ You're both fucking stupid. Stop walking so fast. ❞

Killian: "What else do we get besides donuts, exactly?" Killian is slightly concerned that everyone finds the donuts as the most important reward they could get.

Killian: Also, thanks for taking the flask, Nicolette.

Nicolette: SHE GAVE IT BACK.

Nicolette: She ASKED for a drink and he never responded SO.

Nicolette: ❝ Money. ❞

Luffy: "Ah! Right, there was something about that."

Allen: He stops dead. Money is involved in this, too? A fire lights in his eyes.

Luffy: "Shishishi let's go! To the Holla Place!"

Killian: "Now that is the reward I'm interested in." He takes a sip of his rum again and hands it back over the Nicolette. He doesn't mind sharing that much.

Luffy: "Yosh! Everyone follow me!" Luffy cheered and started running. If they took too long they might lose the foxes and won't get the donuts after all! "Let's find those foxes!"

Nicolette: Wow, I'd sure hope he wouldn't mind sharing. ❝ It's not a lot of money, I'm sure, but money is money so I'll take it either way. ❞ Thank you for being so kind, Killian.

Nicolette: ❝ Yeah yeah, sure. Lead the way, Captain. Don't eat the foxes if you see them. ❞

Allen: Impetuous action! He raced after Luffy, easily managing to keep pace. There were little stars floating around him.

Allen: "We'll find them. It won't take long." The last statement was presented rather menacingly.

Nicolette: Wow. Please chill, Allen.

Allen: This is the no chill zone, Nicolette.

Luffy: Luffy didn't respond to the 'no eating foxes'. He couldn't see why he couldn't eat them, foxes were tasty! He grinned as Allen came to his side and then turned to look at Nicolette and Killian, a bit annoyed he had to actually turn his entire body and couldn't just twist his neck anymore. "Come on! You guys are slowwww!"

Allen: While so tempting it was to join Luffy in his calls, all he could see was the road ahead of them--an all-consuming importance lay ahead--drowning out his sass for a small flicker of hope.

Killian: "Not all of us have as much energy as children like you," the captain frowned. Yes, he called you a child, Luffy. That might just be because of his personal dislike of you for being a... lesser pirate captain.

Nicolette: Ooooooooh throwing mad shade, aren't we, Killian? Luffy is a child though, it's true. She won't take sides on the pirate thing though.

Luffy: "Then we'll just leave you behind, old man!" Luffy called back, not really bothered by being called a child. He didn't really care what Killian thought anyways.

Killian: "Who is he calling old?" He asks, turning to Nicolette with an offended facial expression. Maybe he's a little over 200 years old, but come on, he doesn't /look/ old or anything.

Luffy: He definitely looks old. He's an old, old man. Allen looks younger than him and Allen has white hair!

Nicolette: FUCK. This is hilarious. ❝ Aww, Killian, don't look so sad he's just being whiny. ❞ Touches Killian's shoulder and looks upon him with sympathy. ❝ I don't think you're old... grandpa. ❞

Allen: White hair is the stamp of old age, 'tis true.

Killian: BRUSHES HER HAND OFF OF HIS SHOULDER. "Oh shut up," he grumbles, downing some more rum. He can't deal with these people.

Luffy: "Shishishi." Luffy was enjoying himself, this was exactly how the start of an adventure with his team should be like! Boring adventures weren't adventures at all after all. "The lady said she saw the foxes go out of town! So if we hurry we should catch up!" He called back, finally giving some useful information.

Nicolette: Nicolette laughs, nudging his shoulder with hers before taking the flask from his hand. ❝ Aww come on! You know you like me. Take a joke, Captain. We gotta babysit these kids or they'll destroy the entire town and we won't get paid. ❞

Allen: Ah, out of town! Although still unfamiliar with most of the island, relative to their position, he (miraculously!) knew where to go; so, saying nothing, he accelerated, gradually moving ahead of Luffy.

Nicolette: ❝ Towards the forest, right? ❞ That might've been a helpful tip to add, Luffy.

Luffy: "Oh, right. That too." Hey, he gave SOME useful information. You should be glad he gave any at all.

Nicolette: That's true... Nicolette will take what she can get.

Luffy: He allowed Allen to take the lead, not really minding as he started to run backwards to keep an eye on Nicolette and Killian. It wouldn't do to have those two get lost after all.

Nicolette: WOW!!!! I don't think WE are the ones you have to worry about getting LOST. That's YOU.

Killian: Hook is just following Nicolette. He doesn't trust Luffy's directions.

Luffy: What are you talking about? Luffy would never get lost. Really. The fact that he couldn't walk in a straight line that one time meant nothing.

Nicolette: Why!!! Nicolette has done NOTHING WRONG. GOD!!!!

Nicolette: Luffy gets lost all the time. Nicolette can vouch for that.

Nicolette: HES STUPID.

Allen: Allen has no sense of direction either but you can trust him on this. Maybe.

Nicolette: NO.

Nicolette: NO!!!! Neither of you are trustworthy!!!!!

Luffy: Luffy continued to run backwards, though it really wasn't such a good idea because he couldn't see where he was going. He couldn't tell how fast Allen was going either, it was hard to get used to not using Observation Haki anymore. He unfortunately misjudged out fast Allen was going and ended up running right into the poor lad, getting his legs tanged with Allen's and causing them to fall to the floor.

Allen: He PROBABLY knows the way. That's, like, at least 40% sure.

Luffy: What are you talking about. Luffy is trustworthy. Everything he does is proof of that.

Luffy: Wow 40%!! That's impressive. Much more than Luffy's 5%

Nicolette: HAHA WOW WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT. And there go Nicolette and Killian, passing up two idiot children on the ground.

Allen: Everything was fine. The road was clear, the forest was in sight, he was-- he was /falling to the ground./ With an unholy thump and a loud 'OW', gravity took them both down, piling them in a twisted heap. "Why...?"

Allen: Why do things happen.

Luffy: Luffy huffed, not being rubber really sucked! Everything he did hurt! "I want to be rubber again." He grumbled before turning to Allen with a grin, "Oh, sorry about that by the way!" He really did mean it...even if he was still smiling and looked as unapologetic as you could get.

Allen: He peeled his ground-struck face up, the rest of him slowly following suit; it felt as though his head had just been taken by the hands and shaken, but there was no blood, so-- be positive! The expression Luffy wore as he apologized, though, was... questionable. "It's... alright." He phrased it as more of a query than anything.

Luffy: Luffy's grin only widened more, believing that Allen really did mean it was alright and that was that. With a shove against the ground he sprung up on his feet, even if falling hurt he has taken more damage before so it wouldn't slow him down in the least. "Yosh!" He said cheerfully, offering a hand to Allen to help him stand.

Killian: Killian turns to Nicolette and whispers, "Interesting how we're the drunk ones and they're the ones falling." He chuckles to himself.

Allen: Allen took Luffy's hand and returned to his feet, a tad baffled by his undaunted enthusiasm but otherwise regarding it as embattling. With a deep breath, the forest ahead, he took off, motioning for Luffy to follow. Those foxes will still be theirs!

Luffy: Luffy followed Allen, though only now did he notice that Nicolette and Killian went ahead. "Ah hey, no fair you guys!" He called out, "You guys just want to eat the foxes for yourselves!"

Nicolette: Covering her mouth and laughing, she replies, ❝ I guess we're just better at hiding it. Too bad they can't hide stupidity. ❞

Nicolette: Holds up a hand and flips Luffy off!!! ❝ Try and keep up then, dumbass!!! Or we'll eat all the foxes without you! ❞

Luffy: Luffy didn't take any offense, but instead took it as a challenge and sped up even more. "Come on, Allen! We have to hurry or they'll eat everything!" He may have forgotten the objective was to reclaim tools and not get a meal.

Killian: "Aye, I can taste all of the food already." He's just teasing Luffy, considering he doesn't actually care about the food.

Nicolette: She didn't expect him too. That's the nice thing about Luffy — he's not a little bitch about things. ❝ Well, come on then, Captain, if we don't hurry they'll beat us. ❞ And now she's running ahead. Don't fall behind, Killian.

Allen: A menacing glint shined in his eyes, and he accelerated accordingly. "I won't allow our meal to be taken." He'll fight you two. He'll do it. Gotta go fast.

Luffy: Killian is an old man who 'doesn't have the energy as children' so of course he'll fall behind

Killian: Are you kidding? This is childish, immature, unprofessional..........​... Just kidding. He's running too; he can't lose at this point. Fuck you, Luffy.

Nicolette: Wow, really, Luffy? Because right now her and Killian are in the lead. Hmmmm... interesting!!!

Luffy: You guys had a head start so it's cheating. Luffy and Allen will catch up soon! Just you wait, Luffy is a master at running for his meals. Growing up in the mountains means if you can't keep up and catch your own meal you don't eat. And Luffy would not stand for not eating.

Killian: Wow, I hope you don't get too much dust in your eyes, Luffy. Killian's boots are definitely kicking some up off of the ground as they run. Oops.

Nicolette: Ooooh!! Good plan!!! Nicolette starts to knock over barrels and carts as she's running. Haha FUCK YOU TWO.

Allen: Parkour will only make them STRONGER.

Luffy: Nah don't worry about him, Killian. Luffy doesn't have to worry about anything you throw their way. You aren't a threat after all. Ah, though those barrels Nicolette is throwing is cheating!! Not that he complains. He just jumps over them and laughs, catching of the of barrels so he can hurl it at them. Mostly Killian.

Nicolette: WOW DON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Allen: Allen will stick to the parkour, occasionally ducking over projectile barrels.

Killian: He's not that slow! He can run out of the way just in time to avoid getting hit by a flying barrel.

Nicolette: Nicolette has resorted to throwing fruit from random food stands!!!!

Nicolette: Throws a cabbage at Allen's face!! In the distance one can here a man cry out in agony 'My cabbages!!!' Haha whoops.

Luffy: EATS THEM AS IT FLIES TO THEM. WOW NICOLETTE YOU ARE SO NICE LUFFY WAS GETTING HUNGRY FROM ALL THIS RUNNING TOO.

Allen: The foxes were hiding in the barrels! They're free! There's everywhere! The floor is gone!

Allen: He is SLAMMED in the face with a cabbage. Oh, so that's how it's going to be. He plucks his own cabbage and hurtles it back.

Luffy: "Eh? Where did the foxes come from? Why are there foxes here?"

Nicolette: NO!!!!!! Nicolette shrieks and ducks!!! ❝ haha nice try, ASSHOLE!!! You MISSED! ❞

Allen: He follows up the cabbage with a mighty apple pie. NO ESCAPE.

Luffy: Doesn't want to throw food because he wants to eat it all so he plucks a sign from the ground and throws it at Killian again!

Nicolette: SHIT!!!! The apple pie hits her right in the face!!! GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nicolette: ❝ GODDAMMIT! YOU BRAT!!! ❞

Allen: Talk shit get hit.

Allen: "Too bad you're just too SLOW to dodge it!"

Nicolette: Wiping pie from her eyes, she picks up a bucket of dirty water and ??? mystery contents and tosses it at Allen! No getting out of that.

Killian: Hook gets hit in the back of the head by a sign. "Ow! You brat..." He growls and grabs the nearest bystander and shoves them towards Luffy. Oops.

Allen: And suddenly... he is drenched in water and--... ??????? ?! The bucket hits him on the forehead, hurling him backwards and back onto the ground.

Nicolette: ❝ BOOM!!! HEADSHOT!!! ❞

Nicolette: And the crowd goes wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiild​!!!! They are cheering her name!! They love her! Adore her! FUCK YOU ALLEN!!!!

Allen: He landed on a fox which was carrying something heavy, so, without much thought, he grabs the thing, sits up, and throws it straight at her face. The underdog is better anyway!

Nicolette: WHAT THE FUCK SHE COULD DIE!!!!!!!!! STOP THIS!!!!

Luffy: Just runs over the bystander and falls on his face. "Ouch!" He got right back up, rubbing at his flatten face and not even apologizing to the bystander. "Get back here you bastard!"

Nicolette: CATCHES THE THING!!! OH LOOK — IT'S A TOOL!!!

Nicolette: NICE NICE NICE!!!!!

Killian: HOW MUCH MORE RUNNING DO THEY HAVE LEFT??

Nicolette: Waves it around!!! ❝ Look at this Killian! Grab the foxes, they have that dumb broad's tools! With this we can win! ❞

Nicolette: NONE if you catch the foxes!

Luffy: Keeps running at Killian in an attempt to full on body slam him tbh

Nicolette: Speaking of which, steps on a fox's tail as it run past her and grabs another tool from it. SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Allen: He realizes what he has done. "AHHHH?!? Luffy, get the foxes! The donuts-!" He charges after another fox and yanks another tool. +1!

Nicolette: And look at that, using her blood to make a shitty dagger she'll stab the thing in the head, killing it. They ARE monster after all, not real foxes.

Luffy: Donuts?! Right! How could he forget about donuts?! Forgetting about Killian, Luffy chases after a fox, jumping at it before grabbing the tool he got. "Yosh! Got one!"

Nicolette: She already has two! ❝ Killian, stop them!! Don't let them win!! ❞

Nicolette: Chases after another fox with her dagger!!!

Killian: Killian lunges for a fox scampering away and grabs the tool that he needed to get. Score.

Luffy: Luffy immediately gets off the fox and lunges to grab another one, but misses and it heads to Allen. "Ah! Catch him!!"

Luffy: He forgot he can't make up for distance by stretching anymore

Nicolette: Kicks another fox in Killian's direction!!!

Nicolette: ❝ Kill it!!! ❞

Allen: With a mighty leap, he manages to catch the thing with a few thumps on the ground. He pulls the tool and holds it high! "Got it!"

Killian: Oh, that's for him! He swings his hook at the fox and, before you know it, he has that tool. Nice.

Luffy: "No!" Luffy tries to grab at the fox before Killian can reach it. Luffy and Allen has to win!!!

Killian: Too late.

Nicolette: Too BAD SUCKERS!!!!

Luffy: Oh look he can't stop his momentum. He's about to collide into Killian.

Nicolette: Throws a fox corpse at Luffy!!!!

Luffy: "Oof." Is hit by the corpse and ends up falling to the ground next to Killian.

Killian: Hook lifts up his leg and holds his boot up, so Luffy can crash straight into it.

Luffy: Well

Nicolette: Shoves her tools in her bag!!!!! They have to get their tools back to that stupid Lady. ❝ Killian — RUN!!! ❞

Nicolette: Takes off in the direction of the bakery!!!

Allen: The final sprint--! Dashing toward Luffy, Allen offer him a hand and the moment he's back on his feet, Allen goes running.

Luffy: Luffy takes the hand and then spring up, double checking he still had the tool he managed to get, not bothered at all that it scarped against the ground. "Allen! We have to beat them tot he bakery!"

Allen: "We won't lose!" Allen is reaching terminal velocity!

Luffy: As soon as he is close enough he reaches for Killian's shirt and pulls on it.

Nicolette: ❝ STOP CHEATING, LUFFY!!! ❞

Killian: Why are you pulling on his shirt.

Luffy: "It's not cheating! He just needs to fall so we can win!"

Allen: Grabbing one last piece of fruit from the stands, he hurtles it at Nicolette.

Killian: Hook turns and swings the not-sharp part of his hook at Luffy's head. Take THAT.

Nicolette: And suddenly she turns around!!! And kicks the fruit out of the air!!!! WOW AMAZING!! SHE'S SO COOL!!!

Nicolette: Legs 4 Days. Fuck off Allen. She's way ahead of you!!

Allen: ?!? How did she do that?! It's sailing toward the sun--!

Nicolette: GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO​OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO​OOOOAL

Nicolette: COME TO BRAZIL ( please )

Luffy: Is hit by the hook but only makes him stumble before he is back to running at full speed. "Hey!" He shouted, kicking some dirt at Killian so it would dirty his pants. "Stupid!"

Allen: Alternative action! With one monumental boost of speed, he manages to reach her side and begins pushing on her shoulder with his, valiantly trying to push her down.

Nicolette: No what the fuck!!! How dare you try to push a beautiful lady down!! Fuck you!!! She starts pushing back, kicking at his legs to trip him!!!

Allen: Pushes harder! Performs fancy footwork to evade her kicks!

Allen: But they were so distracted that they nearly passed the bakery-- had it not been for the owner opening the door right on their face. Nice!

Nicolette: WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nicolette: BOOM. HEADSHOT. RIGHT IN THEIR FACES!!!!

Nicolette: ❝ aAAAA!! ! !! SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! MOTHERFUCKER — ❞

Nicolette: AND THERE THEY GO... falling to the ground. Nicolette is holding her face IN PAIN!!!!!

Luffy: Luffy laughs at the two of them. "Shishishi, what are you guys doing?! How did you not see the door?" Not that he would have seen it either.

Nicolette: THIS IS NO TIME TO JOKE!!!!!!!!!!! HER FACE!!! HER PRECIOUS FACE!!! THE PAIN!!!!!

Allen: It's up to Killian and Luffy!! At least for a moment while they recover. "OWWWWW..." Allen is also clutching his face. It feels like FIRE.

Killian: Luffy how dare you try to ruin these pants? That's just low. Hook spots the bakery and runs straight for the door himself, trying to block the other pirate's way.

Luffy: Has not qualms to just run right into Killian. He doesn't care what's blocking his way as long as he can break through it.

Nicolette: THANKS FOR THE HELP KILLIAN, YOU BITCH.

Nicolette: SHE CAN STILL... DO THIS... EVEN THOUGH HER NOSE IS BLEEDING A LOT!!! GETS UP AND... PUNCHES ALLEN IN THE STOMACH!!! STUMBLES INTO THE BAKERY, STILL HOLDING HER POOR FACE!!

Killian: Killian tries elbowing Luffy in the face numerous times to knock him off balance. He has to win this and keep Luffy from entering the bakery!

Allen: "OOF." His STOMACH. Was that really necessary?! He staggers to his feet and wobbles into the bakery, a hand to his stomach. "That was... dirty..." he wheezes.

Luffy: "Ouch! That hurts you bastard!" Luffy responds by trying to bite Killian's arm. He needs to win this too!

Nicolette: ❝ I could... I could say the same to you!!! LOOK AT MY NOSE!!! You are SO LUCKY it's not broken. ❞ Pinches her bloody nose and dies a little on the inside.

Killian: Good luck biting through his heavy leather jacket, Luffy. Now Killian tries kicking him down, too.

Luffy: Luffy bites through steal???? I don't think it'll be much of a problem. But he'll kick at Killian too. He's hanging off of Killian completely now.

Allen: "How is it my fault the door hit your nose?!" Well. It was his fault for, you know. Trying to push her. But that doesn't matter.

Luffy: Just like a monkey.

Nicolette: ❝ IT'S ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT!!!! ❞

Killian: Killian is aggressively trying to reach for the door to open it, but Luffy begins weighing him down. "Get off of me!"

Allen: "Please tell me how!! Or are you too SLOW to come up with an excuse?!"

Luffy: "Don't wanna!" He clings tighter. "Stop hitting me! I'm not rubber anymore it hurts!"

Nicolette: Okay. PUNCHES ALLEN IN THE FACE.

Nicolette: She has to help her TEAMMATE NOW.

Nicolette: Staggers towards the bakery door and starts prying Luffy off of Killian!!!!!

Allen: FRICK. He falls to the floor. AGAIN.

Luffy: "NIcolette!! No fair!" Wishes he had rubber arms to wrap around Killian. "Stop it! I'm losing my grip!

Luffy: "

Nicolette: ❝ Luffy — LET GO, LUFFY! DROP IT — STOP BITING THE PIRATE CAPTAIN!! ❞

Luffy: "Allen! Help!"

Luffy: "I'm a pirate captain!!!"

Killian: "Pry this idiot off of me!" Hook shouts, trying to elbow Luffy in the face again.

Nicolette: ❝ WELL LET GO OF THIS ONE!!! ❞

Nicolette: ❝ I'M TRYING!!!! ❞

Luffy: "Ow that was my eye you bastard!"

Nicolette: STARTS HITTING LUFFY IN THE HEAD!!!

Allen: Getting back onto his feet, joins Luffy in pulling Killian back. HEAVE HO!

Luffy: No!! He's losing his grip!!! "Ouch! Ouch! That hurts!!!!!!"

Nicolette: ❝ LET GO OF HIM, LUFFY OR I'LL BE MAD!!! ❞

Nicolette: ❝ YOU WON'T GET ANY MEAT!!! ❞

Luffy: His grip is slipping! It's slipping! It's GONE! Killian is free of a Monkey D. Luffy.

Nicolette: SHOVES KILLIAN INTO THE BAKERY!!! AND FOLLOWS SUIT!!!

Luffy: "Allen just go into the bakery now!"

Nicolette: PRACTICALLY THROWS HER TOOLS AT THE BAKER!!!

Luffy: WOW CHEATERS

Nicolette: ❝ TAKE THEM YOU BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❞

Allen: "Right!" BUM RUSHES THE BAKER.

Luffy: Throws his tool at Killian who is in the bakery

Nicolette: THE BAKER LOOKS TERRIFIED, BUT ACCEPTS NICOLETTE'S TWO TOOLS.

Nicolette: TRIPS ALLEN!!!

Nicolette: HAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​!!!!!!!

Allen: NOT AGAAAAIN-

Allen: HE'S HAD ENOUGH OF THIS DAMN FLOOR

Nicolette: ❝ KILLIAN!!! END THIS!!!!! ❞

Luffy: Throws a rock he found on the floor at Killian too!

Nicolette: ❝ LUFFY STOP!!!!!!!!!! ❞

Killian: Killian throws every last tool into the bakery and-- gets hit in the head by a rock.

Luffy: "Don't wanna!"

Luffy: "Shishishi!"

Nicolette: ❝ WE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​!!!! ❞

Nicolette: GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO​OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!​!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​!

Luffy: "You cheated!!"

Nicolette: ❝ WE WIN!! ! !! WE WON ANYWAYS!!! ❞

Allen: N-No... how could it end like this...?

Nicolette: SHE'S IN PAIN AND HER FACE IS BLOODY BUT THEY WON!!!

Luffy: Luffy huffs for a moment, before turning to the baker, not really bothered by the outcome. Not when he finally gets his donuts! "Hey, Baker!! Give us donuts!!"

Nicolette: SHE'S SO HAPPY!!! LOOK AT HER SHE LOOKS SO HAPPY!!!

Killian: He sits down on the ground, out of breath and sweating a lot in this leather outfit. He does not have enough rum to make up for this.

Allen: Allen stumbles back to his feet for the UMPTEENTH TIME and lands his arms heavily on the counter. He looks positively evil. "DONUTS."

Nicolette: You did it Killian!!! They're such a good team! Man, she could just kiss you right now!! WINNERS!!

Luffy: Gets up from the floor and finally goes into the bakery, maybe almost stepping on Killian on his way. "Donuts!"

Allen: The baker wants to run far from here. But Allen won't stop GLARING and it's holding her in place. Slide us those sweet donuts. Please.

Allen: The donuts are all he has left.

Luffy: "Donuts!!"

Allen: She slides them 52 wonderful donuts. Oh, he could cry. They're so beautiful.

Luffy: "Yosh! Let's eat them all!" Luffy is satisfied with this. Well, he could use more donuts but. He forgot all about the money they were supposed to get

Nicolette: Kneels in front of Killian, GRINNING!!!! ❝ You shouldn't look so defeated!! We won!! ❞ Leaning closer, she'll slip the flask from his pocket and finish its contents. ❝ Cheer up! Maybe you get a reward for a job well done!! ❞ Now time for Money.

Nicolette: ❝ Hey Luffy, wanna do a trade?? ❞

Luffy: "What kind of trade?"

Nicolette: ❝ I'll give you my share of donuts if you give me your share of money. ❞

Nicolette: It's a fair deal!!!

Killian: I'm sorry, did you just tell him to cheer up while stealing the last of his rum? You're really pushing it today, aren't you, Nicolette?

Nicolette: She'll make it up to him, promise. 

Luffy: Luffy grinned at Nicolette, happy to trade his money for more food. "Deal!" He didn't even think about it.

Nicolette: NICE!!!! Look at that, she's 1200 P richer now.

Nicolette: She'll even use some of that money to replace all the rum she drank from Killian.

Luffy: [[anyone want to add anything?? of write something for a nice end?]]

Nicolette: Something nice? Allen sucks.

Nicolette: There we go.

Allen: RUDE.

Nicolette: uwu

Allen: Nicolette is a pisshat'

Nicolette: WOW!!! 

Nicolette: NOT TRUE!!!

Nicolette: ヽ(｀⌒´メ)ノ MEET ME IN THE PIT, ALLEN.

Allen: I'LL FITE YOU BRING IT!!!!!
