Comment on Professional apologizer by MirroredKnight
Annie: *immediately begins healing Matthew*
Matthew: *doesn't seem to respond*
Janine: *looks extremely tempted to violently assault Uma* What is wrong with you? My little brother spent twenty minutes trying to save you, and then another forty minutes in a state of utter depression because he thought you were dead. He wants nothing more than to be your companion, and this is how you treat him?!?
Luigifan: Good God, this is going so wrong!!! *to Garcia* See, this is why I was trying to develop a love potion! Because Uma is trying to drive away a kid who wants nothing more than to make her happy!
Silver: *Silver, reacting the moment Matt takes aim at Torch, catches the bullet before it can hit Torch.* ... ... ...What. The hell. Is your problem?!? Not only did you hurt Matthew for no good reason, YOU JUST TRIED TO SHOOT MY DAUGHTER!!!!! ...This is just like that incident where Mysta attacked the Firecat Palace, isn't it? Something's gone wrong with your brain... so I'm going to have to beat you back to your senses!!!! *Silver begins violently slamming Matt all over the place with his psychokinesis.*
Flora:
Lydia: Jesus Christ!
Tails: Can't say I feel sorry for him...
Annie: >_<; Tails-
Tails: HE JUST USED OUR SON FOR TARGET PRACTICE!!!!!
Annie: And I can't blame him, what with Matthew having just humiliated Uma again! Just relax, I'll take care of this!
Matt: *forced out of his mimicry by the relentless beatdown*
Matthew: *gets his emotions back* Aaaah...
Uma, I'm sorry! I never meant to hurt or embarrass you!!! I won't ever do this again!!!! *Matthew promptly backs further away from Uma.* I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry...
Torch: ... *Torch, watching Sky closely, is oblivious to Inu biting her, but she does realize that Sky hasn't even noticed her.* ... *pouts* What the heck? Sir Sky didn't even notice me?
Never mind this nonsense... *Torch releases Inu.* Sorry, Inu. *Torch quickly stops talking, deciding that trying to explain what she was up to to Inu may not be a good idea.*
Silver: *grabs Matt again as he tries to crawl away* IT'S NO USE!!!! *continues slamming Matt around*
Luigifan: ...Like we needed another reminder of that crap game...
Torch: ...Uh, Dad? Dad?
Sunlight:
What got him so upset?
Tails: Oh, just that little bastard trying to shoot Torch in the face.
Sunlight: HE DID WHAT?!?
Torch: Sunlight, please don't start attacking him, too... I think Dad's hurting him enough.
Sunlight: ...The only thing keeping me from bashing that man to mush is the fact that he was instrumental in saving Lady Lydia. Otherwise, I would be unleashing my full wrath on him for daring to try to take your life.
Anastasia: Um, he just shot my little brother several dozen times and he seems to be fine. Physically, anyways...
Matthew: *is sobbing in sheer shame over what he recently did to Uma*
*later, after Silver is done beating the s*** out of Matt*
Silver: Ha... haaaah... You... If you ever do something like that to my children again, I will kill you.
Sunlight: Uh... Dad...
Torch: Hello?
Silver: Hm? *Silver turns towards Sunlight and Torch.* Sunlight! Torch! I'm so relieved to see you two are okay! *Silver promptly hugs his children.*
Sunlight: Dad...
Torch: *enthusiastically hugs Silver back* Daddy...
Sunlight: *Sunlight, suspecting that Silver was extremely worried about Torch and needs to speak to her semi-privately, slips out of the embrace and backs away to watch from a short distance.*
Silver: Where were you, Torch? Your mother and I were so worried...
Torch: Oh, the Slavic Circle kidnapped me and tried to kill me. Sunlight saved me, and then I helped him kick their butts!
Silver: o_o; ...Are you serious?
Torch: Yeah!
Luigifan: Come on, Silver, we already told you about Mysta abducting her... Though, at the time, we had no idea that Sunlight had come to her rescue after all... We seriously thought she was dead...
Torch: Heh, as if! *to Silver* I had a lot of fun in there. I kicked so much tail... You should've been there to see it...
Silver: Aw... Is that so?
Torch: Yep! ...Unfortunately, I missed the first half of the fight against Mysto, 'cause she hit me with some funny green light and I wound up in Heaven-
Silver:
WHAT?!?
Torch: -but then Annie brought me back and I got to help my brother and his lady beat the snot out of that sorceress!!! *Torch grabs Inu with her psychokinesis and pulls him towards her, then gives him a big hug.* And I got to meet this stud! *thinking* Sir Sky... why are you being so shy?!?
Matthew: *groan* *to Uma* Please make sure I never, ever behave like that again! *turning away in shame* I don't want to humiliate you...
Silver:
Sunlight:
Sky:
Torch:
Justin: Really, Torch? Really?
Matt:
Silver: *still in shock over the fact that Mysto killed Torch* ...I think you're scaring him.
Torch: Huh? *notices Inu's expression and releases him again* Sorry!
*thinking* Darn. Sir Sky still seems oblivious to me... I guess I'll have to be more direct.
Sunlight: ...But on the bright side, I managed to save the girl.
Lydia: Hello, Silver!
Silver: Oh, hello, Lydia!
Lydia: It's good to see you again. Your son is so amazing... 
Sunlight:
Justin: *groan*
Flora:
Silver: Heh. I'm glad to see that you're all right, Lydia.
Lydia: Thanks, Silver.
Luigifan: Um... You're not still mad about the "beautiful firebird babies" comment, are you?
Silver: ...Huh?
Luigifan: I'm afraid Torch already has a crush... on Inu of all people...
Justin: And has literally been crushing him...
Luigifan: ...which means Matt's probably gonna be torturing her soon, never mind the attempt to shoot her in the face...
Justin: He already has. He's been scaring the piss out of her by mimicking a kelpie.
Silver: *to Matt* YOU'VE BEEN DOING WHAT?!?!?!? I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE MY DAUGHTER ALONE!!!!!!!!
Luigifan: ...and I don't know the details of what happened to Torch in there, but she sounds like she's drunk and about to have wild monkey sex with Inu or Sky, not sure which-
Torch: *giggles and blushes as she looks at Sky*
Ray:
Silver: *Silver directs a death glare at Matt and Luigifan, who begin to hover several inches above the ground.*
Luigifan:
Eep...
Garcia: You brought this on yourself, buddy...
*Needless to say, the next few minutes consist of Silver hurling Luigifan and Matt around like ragdolls.*
Silver:
HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST THAT MY UNDERAGE DAUGHTER IS DRUNK?!? AFTER ALL SHE'S BEEN THROUGH TODAY!!!
Luigifan: Ow! My head! My butt!
Torch: Um... Dad?
Silver: *to Matt* AND YOU!!!!
NEVER, EVER TERRORIZE MY DARLING TORCH LIKE THAT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!
Torch:
Oh, you mean the kelpie? That was when we were still in the tower, Dad... Speaking of which, I actually fought a kelpie today. ...Granted, it almost killed me-
Silver: What?!? Oh, God no... *to Matt* 
YOU LITTLE ASSHOLE!!!! DID YOU SIC AN ACTUAL KELPIE ON MY DAUGHTER?!?!?!?!?!?!? *Silver begins repeatedly slamming Matt headfirst into the ground.* HOW DARE YOU?!? HOW DARE YOU?!?!?!?
Torch: What? No! That kelpie belonged to Mysta! It was his pet!
Sky: Yeah, he sounded really fond of it...
Memori:
He called it "Cuhalleigh"...
Torch: ..."Cuhalleigh"?
Memori: Yep.
Torch:
That's a dumb name... *Torch turns back to Silver.* And I actually held my own against it! It only managed to nab me 'cause Mysta's goons magically dangled me above its pool and it leapt up to catch me like a dolphin... that was unpleasant...
Silver: ...Wait, what? *abruptly drops Matt and Luigifan*
Torch: Yeah... I thought it was all over for me... *Torch abruptly hugs Sky.* But then this cutie saved my life, and it was totally awesome... Well, I didn't see it, I was unconscious, but Sunlight told me what happened when I woke up, and I think I can fill in the gaps for myself... *Torch squeezes Sky a little tighter before kissing him on the cheek, after which she releases him, blushing and giggling.* Thank you, Sky, from the bottom of my heart. I really appreciate what you did for me. *Torch kisses Sky on the cheek again.* ...On second thought, never mind Inu.
You're much sweeter than he is. And cuter, too. 
Sky: *Sky doesn't seem sure how to respond.*
Ray:
Silver: ... ... ...
Blaze: *walking onto the scene*
Um... What's all this about?
Torch & Sunlight: Hi, Mom! *Torch lets go of Sky as she turns to Blaze.*
Blaze:
Torch!!! 
Oh, Torch, my little kitty, it's so good to see you again!
Sunlight: Awwwww.
Torch: >_< Mom! You're embarrassing me!
Blaze: Where were you?!? Your father and I were worried sick!!! We thought you were dead!
Torch: What? Nah! I was on a really fun adventure! ...Though there were some not-so-fun bits... *Torch tells Blaze everything she told Silver.*
Blaze: o_e; ...Oh my God. Why that wretched little warlord...
Luigifan: And he was trying to murder Sky for saving Torch's life.
Ivy: *overhears this* !
Torch: ...
He was WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Memori: And he stole Boar's soul - well, part of it, anyways - and tried to use it to kill us.
Blaze: *Blaze turns towards Mysta, who is currently digging himself out of the rubble of the tower, with an expression of utter rage.* Don't worry, Torch, I'll see to it that he never does anything like this to you ever again.
Mysta: *waking up* Ow... My head... Hey, what happened to the tower?!? No... Don't tell me those blasted Belnades beat my sister!!!
Blaze: You have other things to worry about, Mysta...
Mysta:
B-Blaze?!? *Mysta turns towards Blaze, who is slowly walking towards him.* O-oh crap...! *Needless to say, the next few minutes consist of Mysta being burned horribly.*
Blaze: YOU!!!!!!!! IT'S BAD ENOUGH THAT YOU'VE TRIED TO KILL ME, BUT I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO HARM MY CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!
Torch: Oh, Mysta. You didn't really think you'd get away with trying to kill me, did you?
Mysta:
AIEEEE!!! MY PRECIOUS FLESH!!!!
Torch:
Mom's even more powerful than I am... You are so toast.
Mysta: *screaming in horrible burning agony*
Torch: And when she's done with you, I'm gonna roast you all over again for what you did to Sir Sky.
Mysta:
Torch: You are gonna be so well-done...
Mysta:
Ray: "Sir" Sky?
Torch: Like I said. He valiantly saved my life, and I'd like to return the favor. So I am going to thoroughly punish Mysta for hurting him.
Castiel: Like stabbing him in the face?
Torch: Eh?
Castiel: Sky tried to get away, but Mysta just popped up in front of him and stabbed him in the face before anyone could react.
Ivy: *is now even more livid*
Torch: ...He did what?!? *to Mysta* Oh, you are gonna be in so much pain... I am gonna make you writhe in agony for what you did to my hero!!!
Sky: ...
Torch: *to Sky* Don't worry, I'll see to it that Mysta faces justice for what he did to you. After all... ...You saved my life. I'm so grateful... *Torch kisses Sky's hand.*
Blaze: *still burning Mysta* Get a pet kelpie and sic it on my daughter, will you?!? I will not tolerate such cruelty...
Mysta:
Dream: Wow, Mysta has had a bad day...
Sunlight: He deserves it, though. After everything he's done to my mother...
Gardon: Yes, I'm glad that she's letting off steam. I'm sure she was in great distress over the peril her children have gone through today.
Sunlight: Heh. I knew full well that I'd be risking my life here. But it was worth it, to rescue the fine damsel in distress at the tower's top. And to rescue my sister... rrrgh... Damn that Mysta for locking her up in there... if I didn't think to check that side room, her head would have been lopped off...
Phillip: ...and her soul would have been taken prisoner by Perun, the rival of Veles.
Sunlight: Veles?
Phillip: The Slavic god of magic, who Mysto was trying to sacrifice Lydia to. As for Perun, he's the Slavic god of fire and lightning. So I suppose it was thematically appropriate to sacrifice Torch to him...
Sunlight: ...What?!?
Phillip: Not that I would ever endorse something as barbaric as sapient sacrifice. What the Slavic Circle intended to do to your sister, and to my daughter, is absolutely horrible. I'm glad that we got them out of the tower safely. ...I'm so glad that Lydia is all right... I was worried sick about her...
Sunlight: Relax. I've gone to a lot of trouble to rescue her. I'll take good care of her.
Phillip: ...Uh...
Lydia: *Lydia is telling Silver about the peril Sunlight bailed her out of.*
Silver: o_e; That sounds exactly like the situation Sunlight told us about...
Lydia: *feigning ignorance* ...Huh? He actually saw me in there? Oh... Oh my...
Sunlight: ... *nodding sadly, playing along* Yes, milady... Seeing you in distress like that... It was heartbreaking... I knew right away that I had to get you out of there.
Lydia: Aw... Sunlight... You came to my rescue without even knowing me? You're so sweet... 
*Lydia softly squeezes Sunlight's hand.*
Sunlight: 
Ah! L-Lady Lydia! Isn't this a little sudden?
Lydia: ...Yeah... I suppose it is... I'm just so grateful to you for saving my life!
Sunlight: L-Lady Lydia...
Lydia: *Lydia shuffles about shyly.*
Sunlight: ... Awww... You are so adorable, milady...
Lydia: Oh, Prince Sunlight... You wonderful, gallant boy...
Justin: o_e; Oh God. This is getting way out of hand...
Phillip: Agreed. If this escalates any further, I'm putting a stop to it.
Silver: ...I do find it a bit unsettling that he's gone looking for a wife at his age... but he's a very responsible boy. I'm sure he'll treat her with kindness and respect.
*meanwhile*
Ivy: *telling Cosmo about the stuff that happened in the tower*
Cosmo: That... That sounds awful... I'm so glad you're all right...
Luigifan: It could be worse.
Cosmo: Huh?
Luigifan: They could have set her crotch on fire.
Cosmo: What?!?
Ivy:
Luigifan: Let's just say I've seen some very messed-up things and leave it at that.
Justin: *Thankfully, Justin is too busy freaking out over Lydia's antics with Sunlight to hear what Luigifan just said.*
Matthew: *doesn't seem to respond*
Janine: *looks extremely tempted to violently assault Uma* What is wrong with you? My little brother spent twenty minutes trying to save you, and then another forty minutes in a state of utter depression because he thought you were dead.

Luigifan: Let's just say I've seen some very messed-up things and leave it at that.
Justin: *Thankfully, Justin is too busy freaking out over Lydia's antics with Sunlight to hear what Luigifan just said.*
Uma:*to Janine* You expect me to care, yes? Counter argument. Why should I even care about someone I hate? In case you have not noticed, every time I have ever been in the same area as Matthew I have regretted it, such as our very first meeting where he looked up my skirt for his perverted enjoyment! And you call this dreg my "ideal husband". Is that all I am to you? Just some breeding material to make Matthew happy?! Is that it?! Well then sorry to disappoint you, but I'd rather NOT be forced to marry the man that I hate more than anything in the world, so please kindly, GO AND GET THAT WORTHLESS IGNORANT TO LEAVE ME ALONE OR I WILL DEAL WITH HIM BY MYSELF!!
Matt:*in between bashings* Hey, I'm perfectly fine! It's your daughter who's crazy! just freakin' tell your daughter to leave Inu alone!*eventually Silver knocks him out of Anti-Valentine mimicry*
Uma:*to Matthew* SHUT UP YOU USELESS CRETIN! You can apologize all you want, I will STILL hate you. There is nothing you can do to change that, you lose, good day, pervert!
Tora: You even know what you're-
Uma: I SAID GOOD DAY, PERVERT!!!
Inu:*regaining his breath as far from Torch as he can witout being too far from the group* disgusting, irritating, moron...
Matt: Freakin' final-*still being thrown around*
Ivy: I know he's not that bright, but you would have figured he wouldn't have used a gun like attack in front of a parent who just thought his kids had just died.
Sky: I don't see why he's so mad at Torch though...
Ivy: He goes nuts if Matthew gets within a few feet of Uma. Now that he's already on guard for Matthew, seeing Torch squeezing Inu must have triggered him like with Matthew.
Matt:*getting up after the beating* Rrr, if you don't want Torch getting beaten up then tell her not to use my son as her personal plaything!
Ivy: Yeah, good luck with that.*to Torch* Oh, don't forget how much I helped, I beat up just about every minion in that tower with one blow!
Inu:*grabbed by Torch again and visibly trashing in Torch's grip* LET GO OF ME YOU BRAIN DEAD SOCIOPATH! I'M NOT YOUR STUD NOR CUTIE BRAIN BOY! I DEMAND TO GIVEN RESPECT!
Silver: ...
Sky: (Wait, Torch is into Inu?! ... This is going to end badly, I have to tell her about how dangerous this idea is.)*Sky attempts to tell Torch to let go of Inu by sliding his hand across his throat, unfortunately she doesn't seem to get it*
Uma:*after Matthew asks her to not let him get that embarrassing ever again* Well I'll give you an idea on how not to be such a cretin around me again, NEVER SO MUCH AS EVEN TALK TO ME! In fact, stay as far away from me as possible, I NEVER want to see you again!
Torch:*mentions the two kelpie incidents*
Matt: Hey, she had it coming for nearly crushing my son!*promptly thrown around by Silver* Screw you too, at least accept that your daughter was the offender!
Sky:*kissed by Torch* (Wait, so does she like Inu or not? Is she just trying to have as many options as possible because she's a princess? Does she even know what she's doing?!) Eh...
Ivy: Wait, what was that part about mysta trying to murder my little brother?! Oh that son of a biscuit! Who the hell does he think he is just going around killing people whenever he feels like it?! Someone help me find him under this rubble so I can stab him in the liver!
Mysta:*burned by Blaze in a preemptive strike*
Ivy: Oh come on! He was mine!
Ne: Yeesh, the guy's a jerk and all but this is a little unnerving.*mimics Shikamaru and throws an explosive tag at Mysta, with obvious results(explosions)* That's better.
Miriam:*attempts to interact with Ne, only for Matt to mimic Anti-Valentine and shoot her as much as he can* Was that crazy girl bothering you, son?
Ne: What girl?
Matt:*in between bashings* Hey, I'm perfectly fine! It's your daughter who's crazy! just freakin' tell your daughter to leave Inu alone!*eventually Silver knocks him out of Anti-Valentine mimicry*
Uma:*to Matthew* SHUT UP YOU USELESS CRETIN! You can apologize all you want, I will STILL hate you. There is nothing you can do to change that, you lose, good day, pervert!
Tora: You even know what you're-
Uma: I SAID GOOD DAY, PERVERT!!!
Inu:*regaining his breath as far from Torch as he can witout being too far from the group* disgusting, irritating, moron...
Matt: Freakin' final-*still being thrown around*
Ivy: I know he's not that bright, but you would have figured he wouldn't have used a gun like attack in front of a parent who just thought his kids had just died.
Sky: I don't see why he's so mad at Torch though...
Ivy: He goes nuts if Matthew gets within a few feet of Uma. Now that he's already on guard for Matthew, seeing Torch squeezing Inu must have triggered him like with Matthew.

Cassandra: WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST DO?!?!?!? *Cassandra runs to Miriam's side to check on her.*
WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST DO?!?!?!? *Cassandra runs to Miriam's side to check on her.*Miriam: ... ... ...
Cassandra: Miriam... oh, no... *Cassandra glares furiously at Matt.* ...Why you little son-of-a-bitch... *Cassandra mimics Tenma no Ken and promptly has her sword devour Matt. The miasma from Tenma's sword swiftly negates the Anti-Valentine mimicry and prevents Matt from mimicking anything, rendering him helpless.*
Miriam: *regains her emotions* ...What the hell just happened?!?
Cassandra: Matt shot you for no good reason!
Miriam: He what?!? o_e; W-where is he?!?
Tenma's sword: *munch, chew*
Miriam: 
...Mom? You're kinda scaring me right now...
...Mom? You're kinda scaring me right now...Cassandra: He just tried to kill you, Miriam. I'm not letting him off easy for that.
Miriam: ...You ate him with a sword. That's just wrong.
Cassandra: Well, I'm not letting him out. I don't want to risk him shooting you again.
Leila: *is shielding Ne's eyes so he doesn't have to watch his dad get chewed up*
*meanwhile*
Matthew: *tears up again* Uma... I never meant to embarrass you... I know I've made mistakes in the past, but I'm working to become a better person, I swear! I just want to see you make the most of your talents!
Janine: 
I can't believe you, Uma. When did you become such a bitch?!?
I can't believe you, Uma. When did you become such a bitch?!?Matthew: Uh, Janine?
Uh, Janine?Janine: *to Uma* 
I swear, if Matthew wasn't here right now, I would be smashing your head in with my tail for being so cruel...
I swear, if Matthew wasn't here right now, I would be smashing your head in with my tail for being so cruel...Matthew: WHAT THE HELL, JANINE?!?
WHAT THE HELL, JANINE?!?Janine: I'm not going to let her just trample all over you!!! *Matthew and Janine start arguing.*
Annie: Matthew? Janine? Uma? What's the problem here?!?
Tulip: Uh... Let's just say that I have a feeling that Uma would be much happier if Matthew was dead-
Janine: ! *Janine immediately tries to attack Uma, only to be tackled by Matthew, stopping her in her tracks.* HEY! LET ME AT THAT BITCH!!!
*Janine immediately tries to attack Uma, only to be tackled by Matthew, stopping her in her tracks.* HEY! LET ME AT THAT BITCH!!!Annie: Janine! What's gotten into you?!?!?
Rudy: Tulip, dear, I think you shouldn't have said that so bluntly. Even if it is true.
Janine: *still trying to throttle Uma, but is being restrained by Matthew* I'LL SMASH YOUR JAW FOR THIS!!! YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH PICKING ON MY LITTLE BROTHER!!!!
I'LL SMASH YOUR JAW FOR THIS!!! YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH PICKING ON MY LITTLE BROTHER!!!!Matthew: Uh, Uma? I think you should stay away from my sister for the time being... Mom and I will talk some sense into her.

Noah: *Noah arrives on the scene, panting for breath.* A-Anastasia... Oh, please don't let me be too late... Anastasia, are you okay? Where are you?
Anastasia: Noah?
Noah: Hm? *Noah turns to notice Anastasia.* Anastasia! You're all right!!! 
I heard from Janine that Mysta was trying to kill you...
I heard from Janine that Mysta was trying to kill you...Anastasia: 
He was, but that's been taken care of.
Noah: Anastasia... What about the bear trap?
Anastasia: *wince* I'd rather not be reminded of that. Anyways, Ne dismantled it before it could squeeze the life out of my body. Granted, I was only in danger of being asphyxiated by it because Miriam thought an earthquake would be a good way to pop it open... I'm okay.

I'm sorry I was late. I'm so relieved to see that you're okay...Anastasia: Thanks, Noah.
*As Blaze finishes burning Mysta, she is approached by Myla.*
Myla: Mom? Mom, is that really you? You never told me I had siblings other than Breeze...
Blaze: Um... Hello. Who are you?
Um... Hello. Who are you?Myla: 
Mom, don't you recognize me? It's me, Myla. I vanished while visiting a mortal city, and haven't been able to return due to... complicated circumstances... I'm so glad to see you again!
Mom, don't you recognize me? It's me, Myla. I vanished while visiting a mortal city, and haven't been able to return due to... complicated circumstances... I'm so glad to see you again!Blaze: 
Um... Myla... I don't think I'm your mother...
Um... Myla... I don't think I'm your mother...Myla: Huh?!? How can you not be? You look exactly like her!
Eric: 
Probably a multiversal counterpart, Myla.
Probably a multiversal counterpart, Myla.Myla: ...Oh. *Myla releases Blaze, looking a bit disappointed.* I... I'm terribly sorry about this. I could have sworn that you're my mother...
Tails: I'm sorry about this, Blaze. At least it's not like the time she met Sonic...
At least it's not like the time she met Sonic...Blaze: ...What do you mean by that?
Eric: It was crazy...
*flashback to the time Myla met Sonic*
Sonic: *chatting with Tails*
Myla: *passes by, only to stop in her tracks upon seeing Sonic* Dad...? Dad, is it really you?
Sonic:
Myla: Oh my God, I didn't know you knew Eric's father... I didn't think I'd ever see you again!
Sonic: What the heck? 
Get this crazy broad offa me!!!!
What the heck? Get this crazy broad offa me!!!!Tails: Um... Myla? You okay?
Um... Myla? You okay?Amy: What's going on here?!? Sonic... Why is this girl claiming to be your daughter?!? Have you been keeping something from me?!?
Sonic... Why is this girl claiming to be your daughter?!? Have you been keeping something from me?!?Sonic: What?!? No!!!
What?!? No!!!Amy: Have you been sleeping with other women?!?
Have you been sleeping with other women?!?Sonic: NO!!!!!!
Stella: Dad, you never told us you had another kid!
Sonic: I don't!!! I have no clue who this girl is!!!!!
Amy: Don't lie to me, Sonic! I always knew you had a thing for Blaze!!!!
Sonic: Blaze?!? She's Silver's girl, Ames! Silver, who threw me around like a ragdoll!!! Remember? You had to step in to keep him from outright killing me!!! You really think I want to make him mad at me?!?
Noah: *looking at Myla* ...She does kinda look a little like you, Dad...
Sonic: I haven't ever slept with anyone but your mother, Noah!!!!!
Anastasia: That is a little too much information.
Myla: *getting up* Huh? Y-you're not my dad?
Sonic: 'Fraid not, kid.
Myla: But you look just like him...
Sonic: Then your dad must be one of the many counterparts of me in one of the many universes parallel to this one.
Eric: Mind... blown...
*end flashback*
Blaze: ...So because of this girl, Amy suspected Sonic of sleeping with me?
Tails: Pretty much.
Blaze: Wow. Does she not remember the whole "Iblis Trigger" fiasco?
Wow. Does she not remember the whole "Iblis Trigger" fiasco?Tails: Oh, she does. But you know how crazy she is about Sonic... she gets jealous easily.
Blaze: I know... -_-;
Noah & Anastasia:
*meanwhile*
Torch: *happily cuddling with Sky again* Oh, Sir Sky, you are so adorable... And yet, you're so valiant and strong...
And yet, you're so valiant and strong... Cosmo: ...Who are you, and what are you doing with my son?
Torch: Hm? Oh? I'm Princess Torch, of the Firecat Kingdom.
Cosmo: Princess Torch? The one Mysta was ranting about while he tried to kill my son?!?
Torch: Uh... yeah, I guess so. Mysta has wanted me dead ever since I was born, so I'm not surprised that he flew off the handle after Sir Sky saved my life-
Uh... yeah, I guess so. Mysta has wanted me dead ever since I was born, so I'm not surprised that he flew off the handle after Sir Sky saved my life-Cosmo: "Sir Sky"?
Torch: The cute little squirrel boy who broke into the tower to stop the vile kelpie Cuhalleigh from consuming me! If not for him, I'd be dead meat... I'm so grateful... 
The cute little squirrel boy who broke into the tower to stop the vile kelpie Cuhalleigh from consuming me! If not for him, I'd be dead meat... I'm so grateful... Cosmo: ...I see you've taken a liking to my son...
Torch: Hm? This is your son? Well... Like I said, he saved my life up in the tower. You should have seen it... I was stuck fast to Mysta's pet kelpie, dragged into its pool, unable to breathe, unable to break free, and blacking out... I thought my life was over... and then, out of nowhere, brave Sir Sky smashed into the tower, shattering the brick wall and draining the kelpie's pool! And then, before the beast could devour me, he defeated it with a single blow from his mighty fist! He launched it straight out of the tower! How could I not take a liking to him?

Sky: >_<
Torch: I didn't really get the chance to properly thank him earlier... If not for this courageous young boy, I certainly would have perished in the kelpie's terrible grasp. There are no words to express my gratitude... I'm in his debt. He's my hero, my knight in shining armor. But he's so awfully shy... He won't court me of his own initiative, so I have to be the one to court him... *Torch hugs Sky a little tighter.* 
*to Sky* Oh, Sir Sky, you're my hero. I'll never forget what you've done for me today... Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for saving my life. I would have been horse food were it not for your courage and strength.

Cosmo: Um... How am I supposed to say this... My son is a good-natured kid, but "brave" is not the right word to describe him-
Um... How am I supposed to say this... My son is a good-natured kid, but "brave" is not the right word to describe him-Torch: He stood up to Mysta and his pet kelpie!!!! That takes true courage, especially at his age... Kelpies eat children, you see. They trap them with their sticky skin and drag them beneath the water to be drowned! I almost died like that when I was four years old, and I've been terrified of horses ever since. So when I ended up faced with Mysta's pet kelpie up in the tower, I was paralyzed with fear. When I heard that it would try to eat Inu and Uma, I decided to face my fears and fight for their sake, but one of Mysta's flunkies magically levitated me over the center of the kelpie's pool, where I was easy pickings! The kelpie leapt up and caught me on its back, and I was stuck fast, unable to escape, no matter how much I thrashed around, as it dragged me underwater, to the darkest depths of its pool... before long, I blacked out, drowned to unconsciousness... If Sky hadn't broken into the tower when he did, I would have expired in the kelpie's pool, and it would have devoured me, leaving behind nothing except for my liver. When Sir Sky came to my rescue... he risked the exact same fate. Kelpies aren't very picky. They'll eat any child they can catch and incapacitate. They usually try to trick children into riding them, but Cuhalleigh... well, Mysta's flunkies deliberately fed me to that beast. If not for Sir Sky, I'd be dead. He risked his life to save mine... I'll always treasure the moment I awakened and saw my savior standing before me. My valiant Sir Sky... 
Cosmo:
Sky: *Sky is not happy to learn that Cuhalleigh could have made a meal of him; indeed, he is on the verge of wetting himself.*
Torch: *Torch, not quite understanding the effect her talk about kelpies has had on Sky, turns her attention back to him.* ...Sir Sky, you are truly magnificent. 
I will see to it that the story of your grand victory is told in my parents' halls for many years to come. It's the least I can do, after you so gallantly came to my rescue in my time of need. 
But I would much rather offer you my hand in marriage, once I have come of age... *Torch rests her head on Sky's shoulder and purrs happily.* My knight in shining armor...

Cosmo:
Ray: ...Heh. Those two are awfully cute together, don't you think?
Cosmo: I think she's scaring Sky out of his mind...
Ray: Regardless, I'm glad that my son's met someone who can draw out his courage.
Matthew: *Matthew briefly turns to notice Torch cuddling with Sky.* ... ... ...What a weird girl... *Matthew promptly goes back to trying to calm Janine down.*
Torch: *After a few moments of cuddling, Torch looks up to notice that Blaze is now talking to Myla.* Hm? Oh, Mom's done with Mysta. So now it's my turn to fry him. Don't worry, Sir Sky, that lunar bastard is going to sorely regret every ounce of pain he put you through today. *Torch lets go of Sky, walks up to Mysta, and promptly ignites him.*
Mysta: AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ray:
Cosmo:
Ivy:
Sky:
Torch: 
YOU THINK I'LL LET YOU GET AWAY WITH HURTING THE BOY WHO JUST SAVED MY LIFE FROM YOUR DESPICABLE PET?!? FAT CHANCE!!!! DEATH'S TOO GOOD FOR YOU! I AM GOING TO ROAST YOU SO THOROUGHLY, YOU'LL BE CHARRED FOR LIFE!!!! NOT SCARRED, CHARRED!!!!!!!

*crying in pain**Meanwhile, Sunlight is describing his adventure in the tower to Silver, while Lydia fawns over him.*
Lydia: Oh, my, Sunlight. You went to quite a lot of trouble to rescue me. 
Sunlight: That's because the chance to meet a lady of your quality only occurs once in a lifetime.
Sunlight: *catches Lydia* W-whoa, easy there!
Lydia: *embraces Sunlight* Prince Sunlight...
Prince Sunlight...Sunlight: ...Lady Lydia... 
Lydia: 
My hero...
My hero... Justin: Lord help me. That horny little bastard has his mitts on my sister-
Silver: Excuse me, what did you say about my son?!?
Justin: You would not believe how annoying he was on the way up the tower...
Phillip: I wouldn't call it "annoying", but he was trying a bit too hard to present himself as the main character of a chivalric romance story-
Silver: 
That's just Sunlight's nature. He's always admired suave, gentlemanly characters.
That's just Sunlight's nature. He's always admired suave, gentlemanly characters.Phillip: And Lydia's always had a thing for suave, gentlemanly characters. Those two are going to be inseparable...
Justin: D: Lord help me.

Flora: I'm just glad to see that Lydia's happy...
[Like an idiot I used the wrong name again, Matt was being Anti-ELPHELT Valentine, Anyone into Guilty Gear could have thought he was mimicking her SISTER(Which would be worse because she's very stabby)!]
Matt:*managing to struggle against Cassandra's sword* I didn't hurt her! All I did was shoot her through the heart!
Ne: You're not helping yourself father.
Matt: Elphelt Valentine has the power to make anyone she shoots immediately fall in love with her. I was doing the opposite to get Matthew, Torch, and Miriam off of my kids backs with their delusional fantasies!
Ne: I really don't see what you're saying dad. I don't even know a Miriam.
*meanwhile*
Uma:*to Matthew* I'll be able make the most out of my talents without you. Have you ever considered that? Of course not. You're just an obsessive skullhead too caught up in the belief that I'm the girl he has to marry or else his entire family will ostracize him as a failure.
Janine:*quite displeased with Uma's behavior towards Matthew*
Uma: I'm not trying to trample over Matthew's feelings. I'm trying to stampede all over them in hopes that he leaves me alone. Even Matthew can't be so dumb as to marry a woman who will shower him with hate every second of the day.
Matthew: Uh, Uma? I think you should stay away from my sister for the time being... Mom and I will talk some sense into her.
Uma: Getting mauled by her is a step up from dealing with you.
Annie: ...
Uma: Well, it is to me. But I'd rather you get your hint ignoring son to just lay off of me. I don't care how much he screams or cries, no "Belnades Knack" is going to decide my life for me.
*meanwhile*
Sky: Uh, Mom, I'm not certain what exactly I did but...
Torch:*really happy to be with Sky*
Sky: Did i do something bad or something?
Cosmo: I'm not particularly certain on this event either... It's rather strange if you ask me... But still, Torch, I think you're being a little unreasonable with my son. He's still quite young so a relationship right now is a bit much if you ask me.
Torch:*swoons over how Sky defeated the mighty kelpie*
Sky:*visibly sweating* Eh?!
Torch:*continues to weave a mild epic about her predicament with kelpies and how brave sir Sky was for defeating one at his age*
Sky:*is having an inner meltdown over the fact that the harmless looking(but very much mean looking) horse was actually not so harmless*
Cosmo:*stares mildly dumbfounded over the relationship that has formed over Sky's cowardice* oh dear, this is not going to end all that well.
Sky: Mom, that girl is scaring me.
Cosmo: She means well Sky, and despite the fact that she's currently roasting a man alive you probably shouldn't have to worry about her attacking you. You're going to have to worry more about the standards that she seems to have come up with for you...
Sky: But I didn't know that the horse was actually a kelpie. Oh, what am I going to do? I'm not some noble hero, I'm just a kid.
Cosmo: But you have great strength, Sky. Maybe you should be like you were today and use the courage you have deep inside you to become a great man.
Sky:*shivers* I'll probably mess up and end up getting remembered as a coward.
Cosmo: That's... Kind of what you're enforcing with your current attitude... (Torch really does mean well and it won't hurt to have her try to make Sky stand up for himself, but I'm having the terrible feeling that she's going to end up getting Sky in things way over her head...)
*meanwhile*
Inu:*glaring at Sunlight* Yeah. Thank you for inspiring your sister for crushing my bones.
Tora: Dude, you're REALLY bumming the atmosphere here.
Inu: I'm thanking him, aunt Tora. After all, it was nice nearly getting snapped in half by a moron.
Tora: Feh, you're acting just like your sister. If i was your mother I'd be punishing the both of you for your outlandish grudges against these poor kids...
Inu: The only ones in need of punishing around here are Torch and Matthew for their ignorance. I could have died to that crazed lunatic squeezing me like I was some sort of plush doll.
Tora: Oy vey... I need a drink and I'm not even involved in this nonsense.

Miriam: Seriously, don't joke around like that.

Matthew: Uma... you're right. It's not like you need me or anything. But still, I... I just want to help you...
Annie: She's also right about each of your prior meetings with you turning out to be a disaster. I don't think she trusts you to "help" her right now.
Matthew: You talk as though I don't already know that. How can I earn her trust if I'm not given a chance?
*meanwhile*
Sunlight: ...Inu, I find what Torch did to you today to be greatly embarrassing. I will make sure that she doesn't repeat it.
Flora: I think Torch is more interested in Sky, anyways.
Sunlight: ...In fact, Inu, perhaps she used you to get Sky to notice her. She's much cleverer than she seems, and such schemes would not be beneath her.
Lydia: ...That sounds kind of... dirty...
Sunlight: I agree completely; I personally would never stoop to something like that.
Justin: Said the guy who accused me of unhealthy desires for Ivy.
Sunlight: Well, how does it feel to suffer such accusations?
Justin: I DON'T WANT YOU MOLESTING MY SISTER!!!!!
Lydia: He's not molesting me-
Justin: THE WAY HE'S TOUCHING YOU QUALIFIES AS MOLESTATION!!!!!
Sunlight: *is just holding Lydia, with one hand around her waist and the other around the back of her chest*
Lydia: Justin, he just saved me from a horrible death... no, a fate worse than mere death. Maybe not singlehandedly, but the fact remains that he saved my life. It's only natural that I'd want to enjoy his company-
Justin: DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU'RE SAYING?!?
Lydia: Yes, Justin, I know exactly what I'm saying-
Justin: ._.; L-Lydia... I'm just trying to protect you...
Lydia: I don't need your protection here. What happened in the tower today... it was destiny. I've met my soulmate today, and I want to spend my life with him. *Lydia holds Sunlight a little closer and gently caresses his backside.*
Sunlight: L-Lady Lydia...
Lydia: Prince Sunlight... I love you.
Sunlight: L-L-Lady Lydia... *thinking* What the heck?!? I've only known her for an hour!!! This is going way too fast...
Justin:
Sunlight:
Lydia: Uh... Prince Sunlight? Are you okay?
Silver: Uh... my son is a firm believer in the ideal of courtly love. I think you're making him uncomfortable by coming on to him so strongly, so quickly.
Lydia: Oh.
*meanwhile*
Torch: *still roasting Mysta*
Blaze: ... ... ...Torch, don't you think he's suffered enough?
Torch: He tried to kill Sky for saving my life!!! I want him to suffer as long as he lives for insulting the very concept of chivalry in such a manner!!!
Blaze: I see... But one of the key components of justice is restraint. If one goes overboard with the punishment, it ceases to be justice.
Torch: ... ...And this is "overboard"?
Blaze: I stopped roasting him for a reason. Attempted murder is not quite the same thing as successful murder.

Miriam: Seriously, don't joke around like that.

Matthew: Uma... you're right. It's not like you need me or anything. But still, I... I just want to help you...
Annie: She's also right about each of your prior meetings with you turning out to be a disaster. I don't think she trusts you to "help" her right now.

Matt: Something you shouldn't learn about until you're older.
*meanwhile*
Uma:*to Matthew* Not giving you a chance to prove yourself is also a part of my strategy of making you go away. The more we remain in the same area the more delusional you get with your belief that I am your "true love".

Inu:*to Annie* I believe the term you ment to say was a couple of decades. At the minimum of course. Possibly a lifetime.

Ivy:*to Torch* Uh... No... I'm pretty sure turning him into charcoal was more than enough overkill to cover my part...

So I only just now realized my current post is not in line with the others here.
To put my end of the plot line back into place Ben will have run off as the original post entailed and has caught up with Sarah. The Kazu persona is still up so Sarah will not recognize him though.
To put my end of the plot line back into place Ben will have run off as the original post entailed and has caught up with Sarah. The Kazu persona is still up so Sarah will not recognize him though.
Kazu looks off to the west as the stage slightly overlooks the structure that holds the torch using the moment to take another look at the crowd to potentially get a glance of something odd, but only manages to find Sonic among the crowd. Undaunted by the unexpected but planned for arrival of the hedgehog, Kazu plays on, no need to even see his hands at the soundboard's keys to play the current piece. [Yes that is Ben really playing these pieces by hand. Not vinyl records and turntables.]
A message in the form of a Morse code message sent via light from the ship brings a smile to the little Avali's face though it isn't a full smile. Kazu sends one back of his own to the ship saying "OK. Go on. All is well here.". Movement upon the structure can be seen as the ceremony goes forward.
Kazu: *via the PA altering the tempo down a little and adjusting several of the output dials on the soundboard making it so Elise can be heard and turns his attention back to the party goers* Ladies and Gentlemen of the festival! It is with great pride and pleasure to announce to you, your fair and just ruler herself, Princess Elise!! *said with great enthusiasm as he slowly cuts out the music for the sake of common courtesy.*
Princess Elise: *Elise steps from the ship and is greeted in the normal custom by the bishop, and is given a torch to light the altar as she approaches it.* "We give thanks for the blessed flames. May we always continue to have peace. Sun of Soleanna, guide and watch over us with your eternal light. *Elise lights the altar and it lights up brilliantly against the night sky.*
Kazu: *watches as the altar glows and smiles, thinking to himself* It's been a while since the last festival. I seem to have forgotten how fun they can be.
The fireworks begin to launch as the night moves into its second phase and Kazu begins to play this as he feels that it is very much fitting to the mood and that it matches this years feelings. That all will be bright, no matter the evil that tries to destroy it.
*meanwhile*
*The Nationalists around Sarah have started moving double time, seeming to scramble to meet a deadline that one would not expect possible and from what can be overheard in the chaos a train is being loaded to be set off tomorrow morning moving this massive amount of supplies heading north up to a more reinforced position. Some other loose chatter reveals that some fat man in red is in the area, planning to interrupt the ongoing festival. Also among the high list of mentions is an acronym Sarah would be most familiar with, the HSC.*
[Yes these morons supply them. It's one of the ways the Nationalists make money to buy more supplies. Or you can choose to ignore this. Your call here.]
*Near Lindsay there is hardly any sign of the chaos going on up at the other site. Here it is nothing more than at most a forgotten wasteland compared to the other. A lockbox on another pile sits wide open.*

(This is a continuation from this post.)
Sarah: *thinking* HSC?!? Oh God. These guys work with those clowns?!? First the Light Demons, now this?!? This is getting more and more absurd.
*meanwhile*
Lilina: *is scanning the crowd for suspicious people... and does a double-take upon noticing Malthus in disguise* *thinking* What the- Malthus?!? Oh, crap... What's he doing here?!?
*meanwhile*
Malthus: *thinking* My men are in position. All that's left to do is find the Dawns and strike. Tonight's festival will be a festival of blood. As I said in the speech I gave to my men, I must punish Legault thoroughly for being such a thorn in my side. My cause is the world's cause; my enemies are the world's enemies. Those who would hinder my cause must be punished severely... I must take everything from them. The Dawns are here to stop a group of "Nationalists"... but the only thing coming to a stop tonight is their lives. *Malthus continues searching for the Dawns.*

And in a twist I am currently awaiting a reply here while you await one from my brother. Now if it is just a matter of having enough time that I can understand.

[Now I haven't been following my brother's and your's plot lines. Who is this Malthus? Is he a big deal? Might as well ask for the full run down.]
Kazu: *finishes up the set playing another piece from PROFF this piece being "One More Request" as he finishes up for the night.* Thank you all for being here! Its been such a pleasure playing for you all tonight! *packs up the sound board once finished with the piece, puttting it back into the case, then snaps the case to his back and walks off stage joining the crowd, but not disappearing from it as his movement gets picked up on by Sonic and Lilina, as he isn't heading towards the shops or the hotels rather in the direction of the castle.*
Another gig replaces Kazu's with efficiency quickly moving to play their set list.
Ben's voice from Kazu: *through an earpiece to Lindsay* Take a few things from them before you blow it to hell. I want to know what they know. Best hurry up. Time is up. *switches frequencies to Sarah's earpiece* Time to leave. Get gone from that post as fast as you can. We reconvene at 10. *the earpiece is then turned off and the voice remasked with Kazu's pitch.*

[Whelp, no turning back now. Cause here we go.]
*meanwhile about 30+ miles from the action*
Bright lights and loud noise erupts from a town in the countryside as the Grand Nationale Festival moves into full swing. Kazu (Ben in disguise)
drifts into town with a case on his back, this case his cover for the true reason for being here in the first place. Reports from a reliable source
says that from this town a large group of Nationalists are planning to move a mass amount of supplies by rail to a base up in the north. The source
also says that they will wait till morning to move as many of them are either partying or think moving in the daylight is less suspicious.
Kazu: *to himself* Well here we are the Grand Nationale Festival. No turning back now. *moves the incense stick that he tends to chew on from time to
time over to the left side.*
Wandering through town towards the center square reveals many have shown up for the festival. Taking a quick look reveals to him quite a few facts
including what looks like smoke rising from among the trees to which Kazu remarks to himself must be a bunch of people having a good time. Turning
his attention back to the festival he looks towards the main stage to see the current gig playing though this interests him little. Kazu then goes to
sign in for his own gig to which he learns that the current gig is the one before his and has some thirty minutes before his starts.
Kazu: *To himself again* Well lets see what we can find in twenty minutes.
Wandering through the crowd, rumours can be heard that the Heroes League is in town to which is met with some dismissal by some, total acceptance by
others, and some disdain by another handful. Other talk includes some cheer for the next gig, which many think will be the kick-starter of the night.
Kazu smiles at the overhearing of the cheer being passed around and goes to grab a bite to eat then returns to the center stage to set up his sound
equipment and once set up gives it all a quick check with a soundboard from the case on his back, then starts the night off and plays his first piece
of the evening, deadmau5's "HR 8938 Cephei".

They're quiet about their goals, so I don't know if it will be for good or for ill. All I have is Ben's word that disrupting their plans will help the world... he may have a grudge against them. He's trustworthy, but is his judgment reliable?

[Works well enough for me. Only had thoughts for a population center of about 10000 that swells up to 30000 during the festival. About how big is Soleanna? Never played Sonic '06.]
[Grudge is a weird way of putting it to say the least. The Nationalists are a movement trying to shall we say "better" the world by eliminating all in their way. Ben's been fighting them by this point, behind the back of the Heroes League by this point for about 20 years. Might also want to add that while Ben may be human, Kazu is far from it being an avali, so you'd have to have a character find a quirk in Ben's performance as Kazu to pin out that Ben is Kazu. Some reading that might be required avali.wikia.com/wiki/Biology to answer the questions of what an avali is.] [Also screw this. I'm gonna say that yes this very well is the Festival of the Sun. If that is still around at the end of the game.]
Kazu moves onto the next song in the set picking up the pace a tad in the BPM, playing his little heart out selecting PROFF's "It's a Funky Record".
Kazu: *thinking to himself* Come on. Your move.
*Near Sarah a pair of Nationalists kitted to the nines in military hardware can be overheard talking.*
Nationalist #1: You really think he's gonna push that button? Kill tens of thousands of people?
Nationalist #2: Of course he's gonna. He's our leader. Wants to set an example for all of us. You wanna take a bet that he wont?
Nationalist #1: How much you willin' to put down?
Nationalist #2: 10000 quid (English Pounds to the layman) says he does.
Nationalist #1: You're on!
Nationalist #3: I'm willing to raise that bet.
Overseer: You are a bunch of idiots.
Shaded man: *appears without warning* At least they are willing to fight for a cause.
Overseer: *snaps to seeing the Shaded Man* Good evening sir. Willing to settle their little bet?
*the conversation becomes uninteresting after this point, however something is a bit off with the shaded man as he has a pair of wings protruding from his back.*
*The stash itself turns more heads as its a stockpile of crates of ammo, rockets, and other miscellaneous hardware that would otherwise be illegal in the hands of the average human.*
*Lindsay's stash seems to include an odd number of strong boxes locked up a bit tighter than one normally sees one. Almost begging to be taken back.*
*an earpiece crackles to life carrying Ben's voice.*
Ben: How are you holding up Lindsay?
*Back in town a clock tower [going out on a limb here.] chimes 9 times signaling that the time is now 9.*
Kazu moves on with the festival picking up a new piece of music as the other ends and gets a signal that the ceremony of the festival is beginning and slows the music down. Yet something in the crowd doesn't seem quite right.
Kazu: *via PA after putting down a few chimes using the new piece of music to get everyone's attention* If I may have your undivided attention please? I have just received word that the festivals main event is about to take place. That's correct! The lighting of the torch! *moves to play another piece of music this new piece being Hybrid's Finished Symphony to accompany the lighting of the torch.*

Shaded man: *appears without warning* At least they are willing to fight for a cause.
Overseer: *snaps to seeing the Shaded Man* Good evening sir. Willing to settle their little bet?
*the conversation becomes uninteresting after this point, however something is a bit off with the shaded man as he has a pair of wings protruding from his back.*
*The stash itself turns more heads as its a stockpile of crates of ammo, rockets, and other miscellaneous hardware that would otherwise be illegal in the hands of the average human.*
*Lindsay's stash seems to include an odd number of strong boxes locked up a bit tighter than one normally sees one. Almost begging to be taken back.*
*an earpiece crackles to life carrying Ben's voice.*
Ben: How are you holding up Lindsay?
*Back in town a clock tower [going out on a limb here.] chimes 9 times signaling that the time is now 9.*
Kazu moves on with the festival picking up a new piece of music as the other ends and gets a signal that the ceremony of the festival is beginning and slows the music down. Yet something in the crowd doesn't seem quite right.
Kazu: *via PA after putting down a few chimes using the new piece of music to get everyone's attention* If I may have your undivided attention please? I have just received word that the festivals main event is about to take place. That's correct! The lighting of the torch! *moves to play another piece of music this new piece being Hybrid's Finished Symphony to accompany the lighting of the torch.*
Sarah: *continues listening in increasing horror*
*meanwhile*
Lindsay: Fine. It's awfully quiet here. The bombs are set and ready to go off on your command.

And of course, I didn't even think to have Alex or Valerie be mentioned here… >_<;
