~Playtimes Continues, and the Storming of Aerugo~

[Guest]

Yaaaaaaaaawn. Yawning and stretching as he sat up, purple hair tussled back and fortha dn side to side, Kean was once again dissappointed by the fact that he missed waking up to the sound of his face mashed against the horn of his RV. Le sigh, how things change... Ah well! Anyways, after pizza was gobbled and Super Smash Brothers was played, Kean and NIN had fallen asleep in the clubhouse, and he'd just woken up. Climbing to a sitting position, he went about his daily activities of filing his teeth and both sets of nails, until he was satisfied with this morning grooming. He then proceeded to TRY and get his hair situated properly, through luck and ritual. As messy as always, it still looked adorable, with his violet eyes in synch with the hue of his hair. SO. Now Kean crept silently over to NIN, and tapped her on the shoulder. "Wake up~ What're we gonna do today, NIN?" A good question indeed! As new friends for ever and ever, Kean and NIN were OBVIOUSLY going to find SOME adventure to do in Aerugo today! Because a day without adventure is a day without ice cream! And ice cream should be eaten EVERY day! Because it is delicious AND extremely nutritious! Like Kreta Fried Chicken!!~

[NIN]

NIN woke up, her hair tousled and her body sweaty from sleeping in her winter coat all night. She rubbed the sand from her eyes that the sand man so graciously gave her and looked at Kean. "Nani?" Where was she? NIN looked around her own house and remembered that she had met a good friend and decided to go to Drachma with him. She smiled sleepily. " We can go to Edo park. It's where we can dress up like ninjas and samurai and fight ronnin off of palace rooftops and stuff. The have good squid there too." Pieces of her language were Aerugese due to the fact she didn't know how to say them in Drachman, but she said them slowly so he could understand. She then got up and opened up a cuboard. It was filled with movies. She then went to a trunk and pulled out some new clothes for kean and for herself. She gave kean some jeans and a black t-shirt with Monkey Dee Luffy from One Piece on it, socks and some polka-dot panties. They were the same that girls wore, right? She then pulled out a light blue dress, black cotton tights, and a black scrunchie. She then pulled out pink panties with a white bow for her.

She gave the clothes to him, still groggy from the sleep she didn't hear a word he was saying as she pulled a towel and some soaps for the bath. She then pulled a board that was covering a gaping hole in the building roof that she built her home on. She hopped down and hit the metal grating. She walked down the dark hallway to the shower rooms in the mill where they would clean the cotton. After filling one of the large drums, she took a bath and got dressed. She popped back up twenty minutes later in her outfit and looked out the window, fully awake she saw a B&W buggy sail through the air and crash into a house not far from here. " Kean... did I just see a car fly?"

[Guest]

He was on the hunt. Well, not really hunt since there was no 'prey,' just a lost little boy that Hei was frantically searching for. So, it'd be a search! Not a hunt! RIGHT. Because little Kean . . . 'young' Kean was not only adorable, but a vital asset to Drachma's military might considering he was essentially a child prodigy with an extremely powerful branch of alchemy in his arsenal.

So, this was an important mission, find the child alchemist and bring him back! That, and he was extremely worried for Kean too. The little one could be hurt by so many things out here in Aerugo! So many more things out to hurt Kean, then back in Drachma where he had beaten the shit out of all of them for trying the past few weeks.

So, now he was looking around for Kean. Well, look as much as a clumsy, tall Xingman whose profession is best described as 'murderer' could.

And, well, his definition of looking was very ... very. Strange.

"LITTLE KEAN!!! WHERE ARE YOU? Are you under this tree?!" he hollers, and then hushes down to ask if the child was hiding ... UNDER a tree. A tree that he very promptly uproots with his un-suppressed physical strength, and looks around frantically, tree trunk gripped around by his arms.

"...No..." he mutters, darkly, before throwing the tree behind him with enough force to knock down the cops who had their arms drawn at him due to his rampage in his 'inconspicuous search' for Kean ... and well, the tree also crushed the patrol cars but that didn't bother him any.

No, he just repeated the 'looking process' this time with a small car. And immediately flung the car that way, into a home, after realizing Kean wasn't there and he let out an agonized screech before going back on the prowl.

"KEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!"

[Guest]

Nodding along, the sleepy child-thing decided that samurai were cool. As Kean, barely awakened, wandered the tiny room, he noted that some clothing was placed into his hands. As NIN was clearly preoccupied with other stuff by that point, whatwith a bath and getting her clothes on, Kean likely went unnoticed in the fact that he barely noticed that clothes had been thrust upon him at all, let alone girly underwear. Besiiiiiiides he looked keeeeeewl in his trenchcoat and stuff! And flying cars.

Waaaaaaait. Rewind; did Kean really think the word "kewl"? Like how unmanly could he have gotten!? Also, FLYING CARS?! A tad more woken up now (wide-eyed and curious, rather), Kean moved over to the door to get a better look, just as a B&W tried to jump over the moon. WELL THEN. And from behind him, he heard NIN, whose statement DID decree that neither of the two were particularly crazy. And as he stepped back into the room, he heard his name, screamed by the manliest man in Drachma, of course, in a display of true papa bear tendencies. So blinking, Kean turned back to the doorway. "Hei? HEEEEEEEEIIII!~~" Hey, whaddaya know; Hei was in Aerugo!

[NIN]

( Since my character probably wouldn't reply to any of this, I think I'll skip my turn this time to continue on the story, okay? Hei's turn nowz)

[Guest]

"Hei? HEEEEEEEEIIII!"

LO! THE CRIES OF A LOST DRACHMAN CHILD!!!

"KEAAAAAAAAAN!!!!" Hei cried aloud, in joy, now as he had found his little Kean once more. Oh, that was wonderful! Kean was safe, now all Hei had to do was slap him a little for sneaking his way into Aerugo without telling anyone (much less him) and then kill whoever dared to lay a hand with malicious intent on his adorable little alchemist.

Wait ... 'his adorable little alchemist'? God, when did he start thinking of Kean as an adorable child under his care? . . . Wait, no. When did he start thinking Kean as adorable?!?

'Not that little Kean's not cute, it's just ... why on earth am I. Why is he so ... uhm ... never mind. KEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!!!!"

He goes smashing through a building, narrowly avoiding another fleet of patrol cars and some officers apparently trying to shoot him. Hei had NO idea as to WHERE Kean was exactly, but he had a fairly good estimate on the child's approximate location, and was smashing his way through doors, fences, people. All intent on finding little Kean and making sure he was safe.

One final push forward, smashing through a rather tough fence made of whatever that he didn't really care since he knocked the whole thing down through brute force, and he found himself kneeling before some sort of ... interesting house. Alright condition, but slightly weary and ill-maintained. And yet this was the place where Kean had called to him, so Hei drew in his breath during this period of silence and let out another yell of confusion, compassion and craziness.

"KEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!"

[NIN]

NIN saw destruction like she never saw before. Her large wine-like eyes stared at the rubble and felt her knees go weak. Not for the safety of others, or the objects that would obstruct everyday living. She felt scared for her own home. A place where she felt most safe was in danger of being torn down. Though, this man was looking for Kean and Kean seemed to know him...in a good way hopefully. She contemplated whether she should let him up, since this small shack was built on top of a massive run-down mill that would probably crumble like a cookie if he tried to climb up.

Well, going against her 6-year-old judgement she opened her closet and pulled out a pile of wood and rope that were attached to each other, with a metal hook at the end. NIN dragged the pile outside and hooked the metal piece to the edge and tossed the rope down. When it all straightened out, it showed it's true form. A makeshift ladder. "Come on up!" She said in broken Drachman, her Aerugese showing prominently, along with her nervousness.

Whoever this man was, she wouldn't want to disturb him. After tossing it down, she waited for him to come up. In order to calm herself down, she mumbled "I wonder if he likes Super Smash Brothers..."

[Guest]

'HEEEEEEEEEEEEI!!!~" Kean had exitted the tiny shelter, grinning and waving down to Hei. But wait, what was this? OH NOEZ, THAT GUY WAS TRYING TO HURT HEI FROM BEHIND. Noting that the guy behind Hei seemed about to shoot Hei, Kean was about to energy cannon the guy into pieces... Then he noticed that this big bad was a streetlamp with a wooden sign attatched to it... THAT STREETLAMP WAS ABOUT TO KILL HEI- but wait. Kean knew better! Even for an eleven year old Drachman farmboy-turned-soldier, he knew streetlamps didn't attack Drachmans; only Amestrians! SO, Hei was safe. Kean had wondered why so many of those streetlamps had gone unpunished. Except the ones Hei punished. ANYWAYS.

Watching his new friend as she tossed a ladder down to his old friend, which isn't to say Hei is old, rather he isn't new to Kean, the small alchemist took note that NIN seemed nervous, and a tad SCARED of Hei. Whyever would THAT be!? How peculiar. But anyways, Kean smiled at NIN, flashing a thumbs up of approval. "Don't worry, NIN, that's just Hei~ He's like what you get when you multiply Superman by Batman and add Goku and Charmander!" Yes. Hei is a man dressed as a bat that deflects bullets and has X-ray vision, that can FLY, who goes super-saiyan on occasion and lights things on fire by yelling his name. That sounds about right.

... So, there was Kean, and ... some ... other ... little ... girl. A very much adorable girl, much as Kean was an adorable child. Cuteness ... approaching overload? Not quite, not yet. Not now. For the time being, considering that these two absolutely cute -focus- children were in what appeared to be a structurally ... never mind. It was an odd place they were hanging out, thus far, and well . . . he needed to go and give Kean a stern lecture for RUNNING AWAY FROM HOME.

So, up the ladder he went, swiftly ... despite his mass and all that, he was pretty quick up the path, and didn't seem to be provoking too much complaint from this old ... facility ... something. And, POP, he was there with the two young'uns and, god he felt really odd today. Maybe he flipped too many cars on the way here?

"KEAN!" he gives off what amounts to an elated cry, before heading straight to the little Drachman and grabbing hold of him (willingly or no!!!! Minor GM-ing here, forgive it as part of Hei loving Kean too much xD) and hugging him tightly ... effectively lifting the little Drachman off the floor and hugging him as though his life depended on it, which it sort of did ...

"Don'tyoueverrunawayfromhomewithoutleavingapropermessagetome. Youunderstand?! DoyouknowhoworriedIwasKean?! Mygod, youcouldhavebeenhurtorkilledorkidnappedorsomething!! Youknowmycellphonenumber,right? Whydidn'tyoucallme? WhysneaktoAerugoofallplacesandbyyourselfallofasudden?! IjustgetaphonecallandtheysayyouranofftoAerugoforsomereason!!! AndIwentonasearchforyouforgodknowshowlong!

KEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAn!!! Came out his words a motor pace, at some point swapping into Xingese as he really picked up speed and concern and hugged a little tighter. Eventually, he was breaking down into some inelegant blubber (lacking the necessary tears to be truly ... ... emotionally broken, though he IS crying) and half-mutters in Xingese while carry Kean around and giving off one last relieved/despaired wail.

And somewhere, in the back of his head, a little voice was nagging him at how pathetic he had become. Not that he cared, since he later beat the shit out of the source of that voice with nail gun and a commercial jet.

"HEEEEEEEEI!!~" As Kean prepared to greet Hei in a more normal method, through the use of multiple words, he was hoisted far into the air by the somewhat insane man. Of course, Kean had no IDEA that he was psychotic in the least. "HEEE-" And then flew at Kean a flurry of words, which he tried very hard to comprehend, and respond to, in his own panicked flurry of words, as he seemed both confused and a tad frightened by how upset Hei was. Not so much frightened of HEI, rather, WHATWASHESAYING!?!?

"AAAAAHOKAY,HEI,SORRY,SORRY,IFORGOT,I'LLNEVERDOITAGAINIKNOW,

I'MSOOOOOORRYYYYYYYY,PLEASEFORGIVEMEEEEEEEEEEEE,HEEEEEEEEEI!!" Yeah... If Hei understood ANY of that, it was an apology wrapped in a mystery, surrounded by an enigma, and enveloped in a riddle, before being placed on a wheelbarrow and kicked from a lighthouse, onto some poor Zebra's foot, below. Not that zebras have feet, as they have hooves...

Oh, and Kean then remembered NIN! Poor NIN, trapped in a pit of awkwardness as Hei and Kean had a very TOUCHING, and EMOTIONAL moment, akin to the reunion of a father and son, WEEKS after the son was kidnapped by a unicycling bear. Then again, unicycle-bears were exclusively Drachman, so one would never kidnap kean, a fellow Drachman. Perhaps it was a rabid camel-thing? Those were Gelemortian, or so he'd heard, they might would have kidnapped him, only for hei to show up, rescue him and ultimately have this reunion.

"Oh, right! NIN, this is my bestestestestestest friend ever, Hei! Hei, this is NIN, she's awesome and she beats me at video games and got me pizza!"

[NIN]

NIN was utterly supprised. She could hardly move let alone speak. Her big red eyes stared at the goliath of a man throw kean in the air like a ball. Such a big man taking care of such a small child. Just them being next to each other was funny, and them being so emotional was doubly funny. Though the fact that Kean was so harmless and the fact that that man threw a car in the air as if he was making pizza is what made it scary. All she could say as the man procceeded to talk to Kean was " Y-You threw a car..." And said it again " You threw a CAR...." In her best Drachman. A bit garbled all the same due to the change of languange within a literal day.

She shook her head and walked slowly up. She didn't know what they were talking about but at least it didn't sound bad. " Kean got lost so I..." She tried to look for a word. " let him sleep over. He wants me to go to Drachma too." It was best to get to the point when dealing with a language that is new to a person.

[Guest]

And after that, the little child spewed in response his own apology to the worried frantic ravings of Hei. Which pleased Hei, that he set the poor boy down after rushing over like a monstrous mountain bear, except all big and fluffy and wanting a hug. Wait ... what? ... Oh, right. He was here to make sure Kean was alright.

""Oh, right! NIN, this is my bestestestestestest friend ever, Hei! Hei, this is NIN, she's awesome and she beats me at video games and got me pizza!"

And at once, Hei noticed the somewhat larger than Kean child who was staring at them with large red eyes ... which Hei stared back with his own crimson orbs, except he had a large kindly smile too. This girl had been a friend to Kean while he was all alone in Aerugo, how sweet!

"Y-You threw a car..."[/b]

Ooops ... that's right, he DID didn't he? The Xingman released Kean and turned around a bit to see what had become of the poor Volkswagon

"You threw a CAR...."

She repeated, obviously with some degree of shock. Then again, the poor kid probably never saw a person throw a car a whole street and fence/gate over. Which, now, had crashed into someone's home ... through the roof, and it wheels were still turning madly.

"Kean got lost so I..." A pause, as the girl seems to be struggling for the right words. Considering she was able to speak Drachman, and at a young age seemed impressive ... particularly since he didn't know her age, and what languages she spoke.

"...let him sleep over. He wants me to go to Drachma too."

To which Hei just smiles. "Thank you very being good friends with Kean! Hahaha, looks like you two have gotten together well! NIN, right? If you'd like to come to Drachma later, I'm sure we can figure out a way!" The jovial Xingman is all too happy, particularly since Kean had made a friend! A FRIEND! Friends were nice things to have.

[Guest]

Ah, well, NIN seemed to be uh... Well, in a state of total, complete and utter, shock, and was pretty incapable of saying more than "You threw a car" for a moment there, before managing to explain her relations to the small purple-haired child. Hmm... Yeah, that seemed like a pretty average, normal reaction. Or rather, it would, were it not Hei; Hei could indeed throw cars, Kean had thought everyone knew that, even those who didn't know Hei!

Anyways, it seemed NIN and Hei were getting along better now, considering NIN's temporary astonishment had leveled down to normal levels. THAT WAS GOOD. One had to get used to Hei's awesomeness before they could be around him much, considering he SORTA-KINDA did a lot of cool stuff, like throwing cars around and picking up trees. As NIN spoke, Kean nodded with a smile. "I was going to a arcade, and she was there, and we played Mortal Kombat, and got pizza and milk! It was fun. Then we came back to her clubhouse to spend the night, cus NIN said there are people that steal kids away after dark." Indeed, he had referred to the curfew for small children, and certainly didn't make that sound like Aerugo was filled with sex offenders in trench coats with molestaches, nope. Just a curfew, of course. That was what was directly stated and implied. OBVIOUSLY, his words were clear and easy to decipher. Or he thought so. NO MATTER!~

[NIN]

She nodded at the man called Hei. She calmed down a bit, realizing that he too, had blood red eyes. Maybe he could tell her why she had red eyes too. Was it a drachman thing to have red eyes? Or was he just so different that he had them through his lifestyle? Could you choose to have red eyes? Anyway she was being rude just standing there. She bowed in her tiny blue dress and black ponytail holding back her white hair. " 先生おはようございます。"(Sensei OhaiyoGozaimasu) She stuttered, realizing that she just spoke japanese and not Drachman as she bowed to her elder. " Great..." She thought. " He's going to think I had a mental breakdown!" she rose from her tilt and smiled her "charming" smile whenever she wanted something. This time she wanted this hulk of a human to not kill her.

"Thank you very being good friends with Kean! Hahaha, looks like you two have gotten together well! NIN, right? If you'd like to come to Drachma later, I'm sure we can figure out a way!"

She blinked again. "R-really?" she said in her best Drachman. She could learn more of the language there and how to throw cars too...though she thought she had too small of arms to do that. Maybe bikes instead. They too hard to pick up, so throwing would be better. NIN nodded at what Kean said also. "They go around making sure no one commits crimes, though they're horrible at it. They're called the 警察 (keisatsu) and think they run the town, but the やくざ (Yakuza) really do!" She said in a matter of fact tone. Replacing the words she didn't know in Drachman to Aerugese.

[Guest]

Some sort of thing .. kay-shaso or something. They were some sort of crazed band of idiots who thought they ran the city? AND KIDNAPPED LITTLE KIDS? Those monsters! THEY MUST DIE!!!

"I see, I see. So the Yahkuhzah are the ones in charge around here ... are you a part of them, NIN?"

A smile creeps onto the Xingman's face as he considers what he could do about these horrible men that kidnapped children while being overall an ineffectual worthless unproductive lot of wastes of redundant protein.

"As a gift for you, NIN and for the Yahkuzagh you mentioned! LET'S GO WIPE OUT SOME OF THESE HORRIBLE MEN!!!" A bright fire shines with his eyes, as he smiles ... a but more crazily than usual, but still with a gentle touch to it all.

After all, he really didn't have much to do, though the kids might've suggested something different. But, if they DID suggest something different, he'd stay with them and make sure they were having fun. Though, something in the back of his head was nagging ... primarily the fact that was a wanted man in Aerugo for property destruction and he thrown a buggy into a house, but that wasn't important ...

[Guest]

Ne? NIN spoke some funny words again, and then explained to Hei what those bad sounding guys were, and it was scary sounding. HE DIDN'T WANT TO GET KIDNAPPED!! And then Hei asked NIN if she was a Yackyblah, or some other funny sounding word, and then he offered up an idea for something fun to do. Or rather, Kean ASSUMED it was to be a fun activity, if Hei suggested it!

That fun idea waaaas... MASS GENOCIDE OF THE EVIL KIDNAPPER MEN!!~ That did sound like something cool, actually... Kinda like an action movie, or like a video game! Well, HE was game, but he looked to NIN, to see what she would respond with in the ways of whether they should or shouldn't slaughter up some bad guys. But even before deciding whether to go or not, Kean glanced at his watches, noting that each had a full payload of solar rays. FUN. Full watches meant no charge-time! No charge-time meant he could be like a SUPERHERO! What fun was to be had, should NIN agree.

[NIN]

OOC: This was a topic that happened before NIN was a Yakuza

IC:

This was bad. Really bad. A huge and childlike man (who wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed) wanted to go rampaging about and destroy half the fuzz in Aerugo! This couldn't be any form of the word good. On the worst part NIN could go to a juvinille faculty or worse: back to the orphanage to spend time eating horrible rice with boogers in it! On the positive side: They could go killing hundreds of people who worked hard for the people that ran drugs and crime! NIN imagined getting her Fingers cut off by a burly man covered in tattoo and swagging a tacky suit.

NIN's head nearly shut off at the thought and imagined the world cracking. No way was either of those things going to happen. What could they do differently? What could she change in her environment to make these people who were now her friends stop and think? Nada. NIN sighed after thinking for so long. God she was hungry....wait! That was it! They couldn't say no to that. She looked up with more of a childlike stare at Hei - the man who just threw a car...- " But the police work for the Yakuza. If you fight them, you'll be fighting the people you're fighting for. Can't we just get breakfast? You hungry Kean?" She made a compelling argument and she knew Kean was hungry too. How? Being thrown like that would give anyone an appetite.

[Guest]

OOC: Kidnapping tiemz.

So, this was more complicated! The 'kaysayshu' worked for the 'Yahkugzah', but the 'kaysayshu' thought they ruled the town despite the 'Yahkugzah' being the fellows they worked for? Too complicated. Long story short, the 'kaysayshu' were a bunch of idiots. If he ever saw any of the freaks, he was going to just kill them.

And then came NIN suggesting breakfast? Not a bad idea, perhaps he could kill the cops that were chasing him earlier and eat them for breakfast. Oh wait, breakfast! Food! That's right, it was still morning and these two seemed to have only woken up recently ... or otherwise, he couldn't exactly tell. But still, breakfast! Healthy breakfast for the two of them!

So, without much ado, the Xingman then grabbed ahold of the two unfortunate or perhaps fortunate children and took a FLYING LEAP OFF THE PRECARIOUS LEDGE OF UTMOST DANGER! Just kidding! Well, not kidding about taking a 'FLYING LEAP' off, but certainly it was not dangerous as his grip was secure (and well-placed to injuring either of the two young'uns too severely). Though, NIN might be in shock since it was so sudden.

"LET'S A-GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" And away the madman, kidnapping two children, took a triumphant jog elsewhere, virtually unstoppable except if he ran into a wall. Then again, walls don't normally stop him, but since he had two passengers, he had to take care about his choice of paths! There was a nice buffet place that served breakfast somewhere around here, he had passed in on the way of hurtling patrol cars into apartment buildings!
