FM: Ooooh.. NoDachi.. *sigh* I just love big sharp objects.

Floyd: Sounds like some Freudian psychology there, FM.

FM: Shut up, Robo-Dick.

Floyd: Hey, it's your fault I even AM a robot...

FM: Oh cry me an electro-river, why don't you? If you hadn't gotten yourself blown up by those space pirates, you wouldn't be in this mess!

Floyd: WHAT? You're the one who provoked them, Cap'n!

FM: I did NOT! Why are we even arguing about this, anyway? We have roaches to hunt!

Kii: Space pirates?

---

Will Floyd ever truly explain how he became a robot? Will the roaches pay for their horrid crimes? Stay tuned!^_^

Crono: 'kay, buddies, let´s get ready to kick some serios @$$! *draws Rainbow Sword and starts slicing the air*
Glenn: Ay olde chap, I be ready when thou art! *draws the _real_ Masamune*
Masa: Yeah, we´re ready!
Mune: We certainly are, brother!
Robo: It is about time we do something! No robot will harm any being as long as I am around to prevent it!
Magus: Hmph! Stop being silly.
Crono: Hey! Who´re you callin´ silly, blue-haired freak!?
Marle: Stop it you two, we got work to do!
JohnnyTheMan: Right! Let´s rock, babes!

Primera: You call that a berserk?

(*Eva A has, so far, done nothing but stand around and occasionally scratch its back.*)

Yuna-neko: Well, it's acting without the help of a pilot, and that is the definition of a berserker ...

Primera: But I thought berserkers were supposed to be destructive!

Yuna-neko: Anno ... maybe there is a pilot inside that just doesn't realise that he's piloting.

(*Eva A scratches its side.*)

Czarina: *draws katana* are we fighting people yet?

Fajii Usagi: nope. we're watching Eva's scratch themselves.

Czarina: *whips out some popcorn and sits on the pavement* exciting. *throws a kernel at the Eva* booo this movies sucks! hehehe ^_^

Fajii Usagi: Czar-chan, that's wasn't wise- what if it gets offended and attacks you? I maybe a member of the Long Hare patrol, but i ain't battling no Eva! ~.~

Czarina: O... i wasn't trying to offend it... i'm just trying to have fun! *Eva continues to scratch itself* hey i think it has poison ivy! *on cue in walks a viscious looking red head*

Poison Ivy: Did some one say Pooooison Ivy?! *plays with vines menicingly* heh...

Czarina: *looks up* oh hello! are you evil? *picks up katana and begins to fight. Fajii struggles with with some vines* Ayeeeee! *hack hack* Finaly a fight! ^_^

[In EVA A, the young and kawaii eleven-year-old boy who by the way is, yes, scruffy, blinks at his sempais.]

Mana: Tell him your real name, baka.

Kensuke: (rubs his head) Yeah, yeah.  Kensuke Aida.  Er, Aida Kensuke, or however --

Mana: I'm Kirishima Mana.  Why'd you say you were here again?

Joseph: Oh, that.  I just said that I probably fell down the Trousers of Time and I'm probably some alternate universe version of myself.  The real me is probably going through sensitivity training right now with Anne Packrat.  (shudders) That uncute tomboy.

[The two blink at him this time.  There's silence, for a second.]

Mana: O-o-o-kay.

Kensuke: Cool.

Joseph: (smiles) I was kidding.  Nah, I just fell into some plot hole thingy in dimensional transit.  I think.

Mana: A plot hole thingy?

Joseph: Yeah.  A plot hole, videlicet, a floating random rip the size of a point existant in space, time, and every other dimension caused by inconsistencies in the pl -- er, reality.

Mana: Oh.  Maybe I shouldn't have asked.

Kensuke: Y'know, you're pretty smart, for a little kid.

Joseph: (annoyed) Who're you calling a little kid? (The, you guessed it, scruffy little boy scratches his head.)

[Topside, the EVA, still in Broad Way, scratches its head in synchronously.]

Joseph: Hey, is it just me --

Mana and Kensuke: (in unison) It's just you.

Joseph: Hmmph.  (He plucks the pink glasses off of Kensuke.) Where'd you get these?

Kensuke: (darkly) Minneapolis.  Why d'ya want them?

Joseph: Oh, I don't know.  (He holds up the rose-colored glasses, as an innocent, almost childish look crosses his face.) They make everything look happier.

Kensuke: ...So, anyone for poker or something?

Mana: We have no cards.  We have no chips.

Joseph: We have no way out, too.

Kensuke: Yeah, how are we gonna get out of...  Wherever? It's not like there's a Big Red Lever that says "Open" on it.

Mana: Well, it could be days before someone gets us out...

Joseph: Days?

Mana: Or maybe even weeks, or months, or years, even.

Kensuke: Years?

Mana: (brightly) If we don't die of starvation first.

(Joseph and Kensuke share a look of what could possibly be described as horror.)

Mana: Of course, we could all yell and scream for help, but that would probably compromise your m --

[From the exterior, one can hear two overlapping really high-pitched cries.]

Yuna-neko: See? I told you! There is someone in there!

Primera: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you win...  (She pulls out a double sawbuck.)

---

[And we once again enter EVA A, as a fourteen-year-old girl takes her fingers out of her ears.]

Mana: You girls.

Kensuke: Hey, death doesn't really appeal to me!

Joseph: (slightly stinging from Mana's comment) So where'd you two come from? (The scruffy sixth-grade boy scratches a shoulder.) You never said...

Mana: Oh, um, we came from...

---

Gah.  I hate first posts.  Knowing me, I'll probably end up with some sort of glaring error or something.  ^^;; Anyways, konnichiwa, minna-san! I'm Joseph Sutedja (yeah, that guy whom Chatty keeps referencing, not that you noticed), and as for any self-insert background...  You don't have the time.  ^_-

(Y'know, Chatty-chan, you could have told me you were gonna post that.  ^^;; Still, it probably wouldn't have got done otherwise...  :P)

*Shinobi and Co. Where the hell are they?  I mean really, i think they might like to know...*

Shinobi: That's it!  Where are we?  That much have been the fifth teleport, and well, it's all started to look the same...

Lyric:  Hmmm... the echo sounding mechanism is no longer giving me coherant info, there is something around here that is warping the signals

Reno: Well, 'least we aren't going farther down... again.

Voodoo: Look, you outrageously dressed freak, there is a time and a place for optimism, and the center of the earth, NOT SO MUCH!

Lyric: I'd hold you back, but i lack limbs...

Shinobi: Well, atleast nobody's gone insane... yet...

Plant: ... (*Thinks* Hehehehehehe... i'll get them all lost, and then... hehehehehehe... oh, wait, i'm a houseplant... i can't talk...)

*A short while later, the party comes to a Door (Yes it SHOULD be in caps... you know the kind, think 12th-15th centrury cathedral door, its got iron hinges, and its about a foot think... takes about five people to slam it and such... i mean it doesn't mess around... 's a BIG freakin' door...)*

Lyric: That's it, i think this is the last room...

Girl: With a door like that one, lets hope so...

Voodoo: If they get bigger we may have to draw in more cameos

Reno: Is that legal?

Shinobi: Who knows...

*Shinobi grasps the latch, and lifts... surprisingly the door opens lightly as a light little screen door, though (as needed) it groans, and slowly swings open...*

Shinobi: Wow, they bothered to put it on counterweights, this really must be the last one.

Reno: *Peers in* That's it? That's all that's at the end of the dungeon? Its an empty room!

Voodoo: No... i think there's something there... *Steps foreward*

Lyric: I don't think so. This is for the fearless leader.

Shinobi: *Shrugs* So i guess i get the treasure or whatnot... *Strides into room* Yay, it Really is an empty room... at least its not another useless treasure like last time...

*As soon as Shinobi steps in, the door slams shut with a resounding slam... thunder to shake the heavens and all that suchlike. and despite the efforts of the Company it can't be budged*

Voodoo: Dammit!  What are we gonna do now... we can't open the door, and... oh forget it...

Lyric: I suppose we wait... anybody got playing cards?

Girl: I stole Shinobi's Eva playing cards...

Reno: Let's play Cripple Mr. Onion.

Voodoo: Where didja get the rules for that one?

Reno: Same place i got the lyrics for "The Hedgehog Can Never be Buggered at All"

Lyric: Wow, i've been looking for those since forver...

Plant: ... (*Thinks* o/" But the hedgehog can never be buggered at all. o/")

*Again the door creaks open... revealing a still plugsiuted Shinobi... though something seems different*

Shinobi: Hi, me again... only now i got the power to spring us from this taco stand... that is i THINK i gots the power... it might not work...

Lryic: Umm, where'd you get the power?

Shinobi: Trade secret... you don't wanna know...

Voodoo: 'zat a new birthmark? Looks like a set of balance scales, the handheld kind...

Shinobi: Yeah... new, more or less... *Deep intake of breath* Here goes...

*The sence of a huge gathering of power is felt... like before a thunderstorm, only inside the cloud rather than below it... and then...*

*Pop*

Odd Glowing Blue Orb: The only thing you could do that way would be turn all of you inside out...

Shinobi: Eep! *Power dissipates* So, who are you, and why are you here?

O.G.B.O.: Call me Bodai, i am a messenger from the heavens...

Voodoo: We got angels topside, you one of them?

Bodai: Nope, im an alien of somesort, i think...

Lyric: You think? You don't know?

Bodai: Can't say... anyhow... you in the rubber suit, you want my help?

Shinobi: Sure, this magic is something of a new thing

Bodai: It's about as old as forever, and then more...

Shinobi: I meant to me...

Bodai: Exactly, sure... now this is how you frame a teleport that ends with everyone in the same place, with the same side out, and not all in one body... *Various occult diagrams appear on the wall*

Shinobi: Thankee... let's us leap up on outta here...

*A septagram appears on the floor, like the others only instead of gold and silver, it's black*

Shinobi: How odd...

Voodoo: That was fun...

Lyric: wasn't it just? But ah well, we ARE on the surface again, we can finally rejoin the rest of the regs...

Reno: I bet none of THEM got lost and had to blame it on something silly like dimensional shifting that didn't really happen

Lryic: Shut your cake hole...

Well, that wasn't a long post or anything... and this won't be a long narration... not by any means... but then i've been away for a while, so really, it can be gotten over...

Cripple Mr. Onion, and "The Hedgehog Can Never Be Buggered at All" are from the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett, for all who don't know (and if'n ya don' go check the damned thin's ou' i men hreally, they roc! [sorry 'bout the accent]) And i DO have Eva playing cards on order... and the CD case, and Bidness card holder, and such.  Oh, and who didn't mention that Amazon.com completely rocks... i mean i have Vampire Hunter D on search, not to mention Blade of the Posoner and Master of Fiends, and the new Soul Coughing CD, and various and sundries... (Read: An armload of sh- *Ahem* stuff for the gf's b-day) Finally, Bodai is from SolarBabies, the bad ass old school rollerskate movie from the 80's...

Lyric: So hot stuff, you doing anything later...

Bodai: Not much, no... you know a good bar anywhere around here?

Lyric: There's only one, and its the best...

[And you thought you'd learn where i got the powers... wait patiently, or just figure it out on your own... the scales are enough of a clue for VS, if he's observant...]

Subito: Dammit, I want to kick some fins! *kicks the one next to her - who happens to be Crono*

Crono: Hey! What´cha do that for?

Subito: ~.~v Gomen!

Twostein: She iz a bit of a hothead.

Subito: Who´re you callin´ hothead! *aims at Twostein*

Crono: Hey hey hey, aim at the big´un ... *points at EVA A* ...not at one o´ us!

JohnnyTheMan: *sits down next to Czarina* Hey, gimme that popcorn, will ya, lowlife! *graps it* Thanx, dude. *starts munching it* Geez laweez, are we _ever_ going to get some fights ´round here?

Glenn: Behaveth thee, Johnny. It is no proof of good manners if thou callest everyone else 'lowlife'.

Subito: Arh, shattap, froggie-thing!! He´s right!! If I ain´t gonna get to kick some fins in the next minutes, I´ll... I´ll... Dammit! I wanna thrash someone! *kicks Crono again*

Crono: Alright, that´s it! You ain´t gonna kick me no more! Wanna fight! You got one! Prepare to get LUMINAIRED!

Twostein: *to the readers* Well it is completely clear to mee dat sey suffa from se so-called Anxiety Syndrome. Most interesting, I may add.

---

Will Crono and Subito start to fight? Or will they fokus their pugnacity on a better goal, like for example squishing the roaches who happen to be present?
Subito: *SD-form* Eeek! Roaches!?! Tak´em away, tak´em away, pleeeeeease! Eek! Yipe! *starts running in circles* Roaches! Roaches! AAAAAAAARH!!!!
Twostein: You know, sis gets more and more interesting every second! *follows the screaming Subito* Did you have any problems when you were a child?
