[Viper Manor, Alternate World]

Pip blinks a few times and then shouts out, "HI, ZOWAH! Umm... PWEASE don't wemove the cwoth... Luccia says if wight gets on that, it might not gwow wight... Pwease?" Pip looks up at him through those innocent eyes.

[Viper Manor, Alternate World]

"FINE, FINE," mutters Zoah under his breath. "I WON'T LOOK THERE. LET ME MAKE UP ALMOST RUINING YOUR EXPERIMENT BY... BUYING YOU DINNER?" Zoah kindly suggests.

[Viper Manor, Alternate World]

"A-Alright," Luccia nods with a small sigh of relief. "Dinner vould be rather pleasant, I have to admit." She glanced to Pip out of the corner of her eyes and smiled fiantly. "In fact, I'd rather like dat. Danke you, Zoah."

[Viper Manor, Alternate World]

"WELL THEN," he begins. "HOW ABOUT TOMMOROW NIGHT?" he asks, having to guard Shadow Forest this evening.

[Viper Manor, Alternate World]

Pip smiles back and gives that look to say, "you owe me" without any words.

[Viper Manor, Alternate World]

"Da, Da of course. Ve vill go tommarrow evening. Vhen vill you be here?" She smiles up at him - Thank god for Pip.

She fluttered her lashes up at Zoah cutely. . . Damn, it was too much work to be charming.

[Viper Manor, Alternate World]

"I'LL POP IN AT SEVEN," he says, and then he calmly walks out of the room.

[Viper Manor, Alternate World]

Pip looks at Luccia, waiting for her to say something.

[Viper Manor, Alternate World]

She sighes once he leaves and leans back against the cage containing Serge. Then she looks at Pip and raises an eyebrow. "Danke you Pip, Dat vas very intelligent of you."

[Viper Manor, Alternate World]

"You owe me..." Pip mutters.

[Termina, Alternate World]

Kid observes Karsh and the others dashing past her, heading back towards the manor, and she smiles. "That was the same bloody bastard that beat me back at Cape Howl 'n took that mater Serge away." she mutters to herself. "Looks like I might get a chance fer a rematch." she grins.

Kid looks back at Ozzie. "A powerful mate, ya say?" She looks around a bit and then spots the small group of people who are chatting not far away. "One of them, perhaps?" she suggests, pointing over at the people. "C'mon tubbie. Ya can tell which one of 'em yer sensing fer sure if yer standing right in front of 'em, can't ya?" she asks, elbowing him a few time. "So, let's go see already." She begins to walk towards the newly spotted group of people, followed closely by Van and Leena.

[Termina, Alternate World]

"Hmm..." Ozzie mutters. "Lost him... But I think I know where we can find someone who knows where he is! THERE!" he raises his arm and points over to Miki and Glenn. "She knows where the blue innate we're looking for is! Now, if you don't mind, I'll be in the bar getting piss drunk."

[Termina, Alternate World]

Kid seems a bit puzzled at Ozzie's statement but she still nods none the less. "Gotcha." She begins to head over towards the blonde woman, which Ozzie had pointed out, and her male friend. Van and Leena follow her.

She turns back around and pauses briefly. "Are any of ya comin' with us to talk to those people over there?" she asks Magus and the others, "Or are ya all headin' to the bar with tubbie to get drunk?"

[Termina, Alternate World]

Flea glanced at Ozzie, then at Kid and snorted softly. "I think I'll follow you," he said to Kid. Flea wasn't all too fond of drinking - he was too lovely to mess himself up by getting drunk and looking like an idiot. Besides, the last time he'd been in a bar three guys had picked up on him. . .Idiots.

[Termina, Alternate World]

Guile sips at his drink as he calmly watches Karsh's exit.

"I'm meeting many, but I don't believe I'm getting anywhere..." he mused over his glass. Then, stopping suddenly, he looked up several seconds before a large green person entered the bar. Glancing out the window, he laid eyes on an even more interesting sight.

"I thought things were askew, but not to -this- extent." He thought to himself. "Perhaps hiding my own nature is distorting my ability to sense that of others?"

Standing up and walking out the door without paying Ozzie even a second glance, he joined Glenn and Miki as quickly as he could without seeming suspicious.

"Enjoying yourselves?" he smiled. "I'm sorry to interrupt, but Karsh ran off because of some emergency or other--I thought Glenn might wish to be informed?"

[Termina, Alternate World]

She nudges Glenn forward a bit. "Seems important, if they were hollering so loudly in the streets," she laughs. Then, looking to the ship, she sighs. Wish I could go with them...we've got time before the concert.

[Termina, Alternate World]

"Magus!" Ozzie shouts. "Slash, Flea! I sense something in the bar! Come with me!" At that, he begins to float into the bar.

Suddenly, Ozzie stops on his way to the bar and turns around towards Guile. He quickly taps Guile on the back. "You," Ozzie tells him. "There's something oddly familiar about you..."

[Termina, Alternate World]

Guile turns around, quirking an eyebrow at Ozzie. "Well, as a performer you may have seen me I stage... I certainly do not remember you, sir." He looks over the rest of the group as if seeing them for the first time.

"However, I am pleased to meet you all." He gives a small bow, even his rod bobbing down slightly from where it hovers by his side. "My name is Guile. And you would be....?"

[Termina, Alternate World]

"Sorry," Ozzie mutters. "But Mystic Magic seems to overcome you, as does an oddly familiar aura. I am Ozzie, the most powerful Mystic who ever lived. You have business in Viper Manor, don't you?"

[Termina, Alternate World]

Kid walks over to the people. "Call me Kid." She then gestures at the red headed girl to her left. "She is Leena," then to her right, "and that is Van. I'm not sure of anyone else's names 'cause we sorta just met a couple hours ago. I think 'tubbie' suites the big green fella perfectly, tho. Don't you?" she grins mischeviously.

[Termina, Alternate World]

Slash silently follows Kid.

[Termina, Alternate World]

"TUBBIE?!?!" Ozzie shouts. "I'll have you know my name is the Great Ozzie!"

[Termina, Alternate World]

Kid grins, her hands placed behind her head casually. "The only person I'll ever address by that sorta name, tubbie, is 'The Great' LUCCA." she retorts with a half smirk. "Weren't ya goin' to go get drunk er somethin', tubbs?"

[Termina, Alternate World]

"Lucca was a b****...." Ozzie mutters. "She got herself involved with things that she had nothing to do with. Now, I was headed to the bar.... But this magician seems important."

[Viper Manor, Alternate World]

Serge let out a breath he hadn't even realized he'd been holding. He sagged against the wall, suddenly a biut dizzy. "Close..." he grinned and stood up, "but no cigar." He stepped forward and squinted. "Hey, Luccia was it? Uh...Can ya let me go please? I'm sorta stuck and not enjoying it." He frowned and kneeled down.
