Once they were settled, and teh menus distributed, teh "small talk" began-- "Emi-chan," said Alucard, "You look just LUSCIOUS! HOW have you BEEN!? And Chichiri--BLACK is a rather "unusual" color for you, tho' I DO like it! Makes you look QUITE.........."tast--"I MEAN, handsome, really!" Chichiri, who had been staring rather "mezmorized" at Alucard's TRULY "Bloody" Mary, started, then swallowed uneasily before he managed a slightly "hollow"-sounding, "T-thank You..." Miranda KICKED her Husband's booted leg under teh table, and gave him a WARNING GLARE!!!!! "WHAT!!??" she heard in her mind, "I was PAYING him a COMPLIMENT!" "Sounded MORE to ME like you were "complimenting" teh CHEF!" she thought BACK! I managed to hide my laugh behind my menu at teh entire scene. She could tell from teh way Alucards eyes unfocused he was thinking something at Miranda... no doubt gettin a mental lashing. It was official... Chichiri DEFINATELY needed to get outta teh house more. If he got any paler he'd probably DIE of lack of blood to teh head, in fact he was so pale his scar was standing out all teh more. "Hojoun, please get a hold of yourself. You're drawing attention to your scar," I whispered as I took his menu and proped it up to block off his view of Alucard's drink. Alucard gave a very devious grin as he took a big gulp of his "bloody mary." Mirranda and I both just rolled our eyes. "Well Alucard, I haven't seen your 'pet' in a while, where is Ms. Ceres?" I asked trying to find SOMETHING that would loosen up teh monk sitting next to me.

Megumi and Skully were both simultaneously taking days off. In addition to that, Mitskake was suddenly swamped with work himself and had too many random wounded people, and teh back of teh line isn't a very safe place to be. So, because of this, Duo and Alicia had to drag me over to see Yutarou, teh closest thing to a doctor readily available. "Hey, is this guy ever conscious?" He must not have been too worried, considering he spent more time trying to flirt with Alicia than anything else.
I lay with my eyes closed in what was left of my piece of teh falling wreckage that was still giving me some shielding. I don't usually like to give up hope, but I wasn't really seeing many ways outta that one. It was then that Wing Zero approached, having somehow figured out where I was. I opened my eye slowly, and could see nothing but a fiery red blur, but managed to move my arm just enough for teh Zero's sensors to pick up my exact location. He pulled me quickly from teh hot wreckage and closed me up underneath his wings.
Laura and Miguel entered teh room together, both had come as soon as they heard what had happened. Miguel was already in teh area since I had left him a message right before I left telling him I was gonna need his help in a short while. "He'll be fine, looks like," said Yutarou as he changed teh cloth on my forehead. "He's a little dehydrated, and really tired, which is probably why he hasn't woken up, but I can't find any physical injuries." "Wake him up, then," said Miguel. "Why would he call me and tell me to come help if he was just gonna go alone?" Alicia raised her hand. "I can answer that. He didn't think he'd need any help for that quick little task and called you already so you'd already be around when he needed you for teh hard stuff." "Hard stuff? What's that supposed to mean?" Laura looked over at him. "You mean you didn't know? That satellite was one of teh power sources for some kind of spacial distortian field for teh Mystis capital, or something like that." "So," Alcia thought for a moment, "it kept anyone from picking up its location and even from getting in. That satellite was a key part, though, so a hacker Xer got to help find it, Michael Lee, has already found teh location while we were in here, and we should be able to get past teh field now." "You guys talk too much." Yutarou stood, wen tto teh door, and looked back. "Just get this guy and Himura to go whereever that place is together and an army couldn't do anything. I mean Himura is practically invincible, and this guy just plain isn't human. Do you have any idea what kind of temperatures he was just in? It's enough to liquify most people in a few seconds."
Laura gazed on my face, and put a hand to my forehead. I had reverted to my normal form before we had even reached teh ground, about teh time I lost consciousness. I suddenly winced a bit, and my eyes opened. My eyes were blurred, and I sat up slowly, adjusting my eyes to teh light. "Hey, you should stay lying down. You need rest." "Hnn, if, if you say so. Hey, I'm really thirsty." "Sure." She went and got me a glass of water and then helped me drink it. "So." I avoided facing her direction for just a moment. "What happened to Ramsa?" "What? Was he with you?" "We got separated, I guess you could say. You don't know then?" My voice was scrathing, so talking was starting to make my throat itch. "Oh well, I'll just hope for teh best." A little later, there was a knock on teh door, and right after it opened, and Vic stepped in. I was sitting with my back rested against teh wall and Laura's arm around my shoulder. I sighed. "Hi, Vic." "Are you feeling any better?" "A lot better than I was a while ago." "Good. I heard about what you were planning to do, and I'm going, too." "What?" I sat up quickly. "I can't involve you." "I'm going with you, so just don't argue." "But why?" "I have my reasons." "Being?" "Do I need one?" I didn't asnwer. Vic just smiled and left, and was quickly replaced by Miguel. "When are we leaving?" "When I get round to it." "What does that mean?" Alicia came in behind Miguel. "Shouldn't you bring Naoki as well?" I don't know where he is," I replied. "Besides, Miguel and I should be penty enough. All three of us would just be overkill." Miguel started to leave. "Make sure you tell me when we're leaving this time instead of just trying to drag me along at teh last minute." "How about you just be prepared on your own for once?" Laura and I were left alone. I got up and went over to get my clothes I would be taking. "Should you be walking around already?" "It'll be fine, really." I finished up quickly and put my coat on. "Will you be okay if things are serious, though? What about everyone else?" My eyes had gone blue, and were completely serious. "I won't allow anyone to die, and I won't allow myself to lose!"
To be continued....

You know, teh number of people who have voted on teh writing contest is about teh same as teh number of people currently active in this thread alone. What's up with teh lack of votes, anyway? By teh way, if noone else votes in teh next couple days, what is Saddy gonna do with a 3-way tie for first, and with only 3 votes a piece? Good question--I wondered that myself....... *snerk*

She's my "Secretarial Assistant"!" He gave Emi-chan a smug *SMIRK* that was teh Alucard "equivalent" of sticking out his tongue at her......which COME to THINK of it, PROBABLY would've scared po' Chichiri WITLESS, altogether!
Meanwhile, teh LOOK that Miranda was giving him was CLEARLY saying--"We WILL be "DISCUSSING" this LATER, [glow=red,2,300]DEAREST!"[/glow] which Emi-chan noticed actually seemed to FRIGHTEN teh old Reprobate Vampire! "SERVES him RIGHT!" she thought amusedly, hiding her smile, but KNOWING that Alucard would "pick-up" that thought, since she HAD "directed" it AT him!
P.S. Emi-chan--I don't remember--has 'chiri MET Ceres before?

Yeah its happening to me too. I had just assumed it was due to teh slow computers in teh library. Oh okay But it has never happened to me before so I was wondering. By teh way has anyone heard from Isa? I'm getting a littled worried about her. I know there is hurricane going on but I've been hearing some horror stories about what was going on down there. With living in teh midwest I only hafta deal with Tornadoes,floods and high winds and Blizzards

I could tell instantly it was an issue with teh site (as in either teh smiley system was down or someone was changing teh random images), though my internet has been really acting up. In fact, my internet keeps going out then coming back every few minutes. It's very annoying when I'm trying to post.

I mean people have disappeared with no word at all for much longer before (a couple never returned [back in TDG days]).
