Emi-chan landed in teh courtyard of teh hotel and ran down teh stairs to teh infermary. When Mitskake and Megumi just stood there and stared at her after she put teh monk in their care she glared at them and threatened them with her agiel. "Quit staring at me as if I had suddenly sprouted wings and start treating Chichiri," she threatened teh two healers. *snerk*

So, knowing Armstrong's on his way to teh front desk of teh Hotel, and knowing a shorter way there, I plan on 'ambushing' him. I get in place and see him down on teh next floor, heading in teh direction of teh Hotel lobby. I fling myself over teh balcony, intending on having Armstrong catch me, 'saving' my life, then I'd wrap my are around his neck, saying "MY HERO!" and see how things progress from there. No such luck. Midway down, Armstrong catches sight of something and hurries away. I go 'SPLAT!' face-first into teh carpet. "Damn!" I think to myself I as try to catch my breath, "For a guy that big, he sure as hell can move fast!" So, that didn't work. Now what do I try next? I know! I'll cause something to happen to Armstrong, then I'll come to teh rescue and he'll hafta find a way to thank me! Now what to do, what to do . . . . . . . . (!) Some hours later, I drag myself, all sweaty and dirty, out teh hole I just finished digging, then drag teh ladder up after me. "There! I think it's deep enough so he can't climb out on his own!" Congradulating myself, I look around for something to cover teh hole with when a voice comes from behind me. "And now what are you up to?" it asks. Scared outta my wits, I jump away from teh voice and fall straight down into teh hole I just finished digging. I know it's impossible to get myself out, as a hole deep enough to trap Armstrong is wayyyyyy too deep for me to climb outta. I call up to whoever it was who startled me. "Um, help? Can you drop that ladder down for me? Please?" A head peeks over teh edge, looking down on me. "Well, well, well. Look who we have here!" smirks Roy Mustang, "Our little Peanutcat has gotten herself into quite a predicament, that she has!" (Wow! It really doesn't take long for new people here to pick up Kenshinisms, does it?) "Ah, Hello Roy!" I say to teh face above me, "How you been doing lately?" "You mean ever since you and that other 'lady' stuck me in this skirt?" he asks with a nasty laugh. "Why would I have any problems with that, pray tell?" "Well, gosh! You had it coming to you, teh way you were acting then. Besides, it's no worse than what you were planning to do to all teh women under your command once you became Fuher." "You're not helping yourself with an attitude like that, missy! Tell you what, If I get you outta here, will you remove this damned skirt? I asked Ed to help get it off me, but nothing worked." I looked up at him and laughed. "You asked Ed to help you outta your skirt?" Roy turned red as he realized how that sounded. "Look, one more smart-ass comment outta you and you can stay there all night, as far as I care. I understand it's supposed to rain tonight." "Okay, okay!" I sigh, "Help me outta here, and I'll remove that damned skirt." "Gald you saw it my way!" With that, Roy slid teh ladder down to me, and I climbed back up to teh surface. "Now, about this skirt . . . ." "Sure!" I reached around his waist, grabbed teh end of teh skirt, and said teh magic word. Yanking teh fabric from his body, I make a clean get-away, leaving Roy with his fiddly-bits dangling in teh wind. "So long, sucker!"

By NOW, you all may be wondering just WHAT teh HECK is going ON with teh elevators!!?? I mean, they NEVER behave this well, Right!!?? Well.........It's Jaken. No, he didn't put a spell on them or anything like THAT, it's just that----*whispers*--they apparently THINK he's a child because he's so DAMN SHORT and has that kinda' high squeaky voice! *Ahem* It's either THAT, or they're "in lo-ve" with teh lil' guy, we're not ENTIRELY sure, actually........*A-heh* ANYWAY, when it was discovered that he could ride on teh things WITHOUT being TAKEN "for a ride", it was decided that Jaken should be given teh job of "Official Elevator Operator", complete with his own employee room in teh basement and that nice lil' converted Bell-Boy uniform [INCLUDING teh silly lil' hat--but then Jaken's USUAL hat is kinda' "silly-lookin'", TOO, noda!], and, frankly, teh po' widdl' guy NEEDED sumthin' ta' DO, now that he can't really "serve" Lord Sesshomaru any more [and that plant at 'Kat's place is a MENACE to his health, along with "other" things.....!] Soooo....since teh elevators have a "thing" against anyone OVER teh age of 10, OR of any noticeable height [which seems to be WHY Edward Elric can get away with riding them ALONE, but NOT with AL--Oh, CRAP! Ed's GLARING at me, again!!!!--Oh, and HIEI never had any "trouble", but we STILL don't know whether that was his height or his general attitude!], Jaken seemed teh OBVIOUS "solution" to teh elevator "problem", and he usually just runs one of teh ones in teh Lobby during peak hours of use, MAINLY for teh benefit of guests that are "passing thru'", rather than our regulars [MOST of which REFUSE to go anywhere NEAR those "demon boxes from teh Pit o' HELL" for some reason......or previous "experience"--*eep!*] Just PLEASE don't let Jaken know WHY he has that job, noda! It would not only hurt his lil' Imp feelins', but teh elevators might "HEAR" you, and THEN where will we BE!? [Unless....they really ARE in lo-ve witht teh lil' guy.....!*ew*] To be Continued-- SO--getting back to teh story at hand......... As Wolfwood followed Asaro out of that elevator, he made SURE that Jaken knew which one Asaro was heading to next [Asaro DID wonder WHY teh Reverend was repeating what he said rather LOUDLY, but he let it pass--people were ALWAYS acting a bit "strange" when he was on teh job, just out of nerves....], and as soon as teh elevator doors closed on Jaken, he went up to teh next floor, jumped out almost before teh doors could open again, and after a VERY short "pit-stop" with teh waiting Tomo and Amelia--"Oh, DO hurry UP, you two--this is an EMERGENCY and I'm NEEDED!!!!" fussed Jaken, all but DANCING in impatience--he hopped on teh elevator that Asaro was waiting for and *BING!*--- ---THERE was teh next elevator, RIGHT on cue, teh doors opening to teh sight of Jaken--with a MUSTACHE!!!!! Wolfwood, who was NOT expecting THIS development, nearly CHOKED with laughter at teh sight, especially since it was a rather droopy "Fu Manchu" sort of mustache that looked HILARIOUS on Jaken's beaky lil' mouth, but he managed to stifle himself when teh Imp gave him a warning GLARE and then asked what floor Asaro wanted to go to, as if nothing was out of teh ordinary about his new facial hair........ And so it went, for teh next couple of hours or so, as Asaro inspected teh elevators and other environs of teh Hotel, each elevator having a "different" lil' "Official Operator", some with beards or goatees [Wolfwood went into a mild fit of coughing trying to hold teh laughter in on THAT one, noda!!!], some with different-colored hair on their heads, and a few, as teh day wore on, with a variety of ALL these "features"! [Although Wolfwood DID think teh "Santa" one was PUSHIN' it, just a mite.......*snicker*] After about teh third or fourth such "incident", Asaro DID begin-ta' wonder a bit, and raised an eyebrow in disbelieving inquiry at teh Elevator Operator with teh anti-gravity bangs and dreadlocks......... "Er.....How MANY of you ARE there.....?" he asked rather hesitantly, not wanting to offend-- Wolfwood jumped in, trying to "rescue" teh situation, and blurted teh first thing he THOUGHT of-- "Oh, there's a whole FAMILY of....er....um....." he trailed off, suddenly unsure, then added brightly--"They're a CIRCUS family, all Little People--used to be ACROBATS!!!" Jaken, trying to salvage THAT "inspiration" [WHY didn't people let him DO his job, Dang it!?], added, "YES! Haven't you ever HEARD of teh "Flying Rins" of teh Sesshomaru Circus!? We were once world FAMOUS--in Poland--as teh biggest and BEST team of acrobatic Little People, ever?!!! See these unique STAFFS we all carry!? These were our TRADEMARKS!!" "Uhhh.....No, I'm afraid I haven't.....but then I usually AVOID teh circus......um....for...personal reasons......" Asaro QUICKLY changed teh subject, so he DIDN'T see Jaken's HUGE *sigh* of relief--OR his glare at Wolfwood for nearly screwing things UP! And what teh HECK were "Little People", anyway!? Wasn't that what those Leprechauns from Irey-Land called themselves!? And so it went, Jaken running from one elevator to teh next, only stopping to get yet ANOTHER "quickie make-up job", with Tomo suggesting what they try NEXT [all those years as an actor made him something of an expert on "quick changes", as well as makeup!] and Amelia using magic to make it happen in a split-second--and ALSO occasionally transporting Jaken JUST in time to teh required spot when there was a need [teh Imp HATED travelling that way, however, especially after Amelia got flustered and landed him on TOP of one elevator, so that he had to open teh trapdoor and jump--or rather, FALL--down to teh floor only a MOMENT before teh doors opened to Asaro and Wolfwood! *FEH!*] By teh time it was all over, it was one foot-sore and VERY weary Jaken who made his way down to his room, wishing he had never accepted this job........."I haven't had a day so BAD since that nasty poisonous insect of Naraku's STUNG me, and I thought for SURE Rin wouldn't get back in time...!" he muttered, going into teh bathroom to wash his sweaty lil' green face-- --and THAT'S when teh Imp realized that Amelia had either FORGOTTEN to remove his LAST "makeup job", or else Tomo was playing a joke on him-- It was a VERY cute lil' Geisha who stared back at him in teh mirror, a-cussin' n' a-sputterin' for all "she" was WORTH!!!!! All righty, P-kitty--I'm DONE with this part! Cue me when my NEXT "turn" comes up!

Roy [hiding in a hydrangea bush...and it SCRATCHES, DAMN IT!!!]-- "NO!!!"

Glad you liked it and that Bikky... err... liked his slice, too. Feel free to stop by for a visit of your own if you'd care too! (Note to self: Be sure to make teh boys in teh closet behave themselves. I'm not too worred about Kureno, but those other two... teh last thing I need is to be arrested for being some sort of sex feind!) Any since you're not one of my subjects, you can just cal me either Mrs. Nagira or Snap, Dee dear! Dee flushes a bit--"Er.....okay....." Bikky smirks from teh sofa--and earns a threatening GLARE from Dee!--"Dee gets "shy" around anyone with CLASS!" Dee, moving towards teh still unconcerned Bikky with "maim and throttle" in his eyes--"Why you little--!" Ryo, grabbing Dee by teh collar before he can go any further--*URK!*--"Now, NOW, You two! NOT in front of Guests, pleeeese!!!!!! *sigh*" I'm not particularily worried--I'll settle for "less-than-attractive" if they're willin'-ta PUT UP with me! [It's teh LEAST I can do, noda]
