[Jen-chan]

(*When we last checked up on Jen-chan, our bewildered heroine stands, all alone, somewhere in a spooky unknown world, with animal warriors thinking about human shish-keebob for dinner. Jen, of course, dosen't prefer to be a meal.*)

*Thinking: Damn you penguin! You said there would be many obstacles, but none where I have no chance of escaping! That's not playing fair, you meanie! >_<*

< Hah! I told you that you would encounter many obstacles on this trip, didn't I? Or were you even listening? >

Errr...^^;;; Um, hey, we can work things out, can't we? Some kind of negoti---

(* A spear hits the side of a nearby tree, missing Jen by an inch.*)

-- I guess that means "No". ^^;;;;

< Well?! Do something! I brought you here because of your quick thinking, didn't I? >

That was a mistake. *sweatdrops* Well.. I think I should--

(* Suddenly, a rain of spears hail on Jen, fortunately unleashing an A.T. Field so that they fly aimlessly off her, and land on the ground. *)

< What do we suppose we do now, oh-great-one since they've noticed your A.T. Field, which is incredibly bright and easy to notice? ¬_¬ >

.... Run? ^.^;

< Running is not an option, here! >

You know, penguin, I'm beginning to dislike you more and more... -_-

< You know, I should have picked someone else! At least someone else besides you is sensible and can comprehend these sort of situations and keep them under control! >

Ohh... that is _it_ penguin. I'm pissed now. (* eyes glow translucent and a white, milky colour.*)

< You don't have to blow up this forest in the process, do you!?

Watch and learn. (*Starts up a powerful A.T. Field and unleashes an attack that leaves the forest unaffected, but kills off her targets, the human/animal warriors. *)

< Ohh! Good thinking! I'm impressed. (for once.) >

*eyes stop glowing as she reverts back to normal* I heard that!

< No time for senseless chatter. Shouldn't we be concentrating on finding MEDU, and wiping them out of existence? >

Shouldn't we concentrate on finding a place to sleep? It's (*pauses to look at watch*) 12:00 P.M.

< Oh yeah, I forgot humans need sleep. Anno, but first you must cross this icky-looking swamp filled with large crocodiles and inescts before resting at the nearby village Inn. >

Wahhhhh...... O_O
So our heroine, Jen, must cross a swamp full of mean monsters in the middle of the night. Oh well, it's life... but where exactly has Rika-imouto landed? O.o;;

[Jelynne]

*off in a nearly forgotten corner of the astral plane, there is a small store.  The sign over the door reads 'Subspace Outfitters'.  Like many such stores it is a *lot* bigger on the inside than on the outside*

*inside the store, past the racks of mallets and the shelves of Sailor Senshi items, a seedy looking man sits behind a counter.  Jelynne stands facing him*

I need a subspace upgrade.

Seedy Man: Yah? What package you got now?

Oh come on, Joe.  You know I'm one of your best customers.

Joe: I'm not givin' you a discount.

*sigh* I wasn't expecting you to.

Joe: Good.  What upgrade do ya want?

Weapons.

Joe: You've already got our advanced medeival package.  *his tone is faintly accusing*

I need some more modern stuff for a little while.  The medieval package isn't good enough for this.

Joe: Finally ended up in a technologically advanced dimesion, huh?

Yeah, sorta.  Now about the weapon upgrade...

Joe: *snorts* It'll cost ya.  Even for a temp package.

I want it anyway.

Joe: *shrugs* Your money.  How far forward you want the upgrade to go?

Up to advanced modern weaponry, I guess.  I think the sci-fi package would be overkill.

Joe: Yah, it usually is.  *breifly grins, revealing yellowed teeth* But some people like that.  How long you want it to last?

Single use.

Joe: You're wiping someone off the face of the earth again, aren't you?

How'd you guess? Now, how much is this going to cost me?

Joe: Well...

*an advanced bargaining session begins*

back on the street in EGCity...

*Rebopp is still in a trance, Jelynne's astral self is absent from the premises, and Verity is still tied up in rubber hose*

Verity: *bored, and thinking out loud* So the fate of the entire city rests in Jelynne's hands? *slumps dejectedly* We're doomed.

I heard that.

Verity: Hey, you're awake!

Yes, I have returned!

Verity: But you never left.

Umn, well, I did...  But I didn't...  Oh, never mind.

Verity: you seen remarkable sane.  Did the caffeine wear off?

Not really.  But I think I've swung around to the 'nearly sane' phase.

Verity: You have no idea how releived I am.

*Jelynne lifts off the street* See? Still lots of caffeine.  Now to get rid of that rat.  Tremble before my weapon upgrade, rodent! Bwahahahahaha!

Verity: Weapon upgade?

*Jelynne reaches into her bag and pulls out a personal missile launcher*

Verity: o.O This is going to hurt, isn't it?

Let's see: Launcher? Check.  Laser sighting system on? Check.  Loaded with super-expolsive warheads? Check.  Safety off? Check.

Rebopp: *starts to come out of his trance.  Reality is starting to shimmer in front of him* Got you now... Just a few more seconds...

*Jelynne pulls the trigger*

Rebopp: *hears a whooshing noise* Huh? *as his concentration is broken the shimmer vanishes* Aw, crud.  What...  *sees the missile heading towards him* O.O

*the missile hits*

*very, very, very, very large explosion.  Absolutely nothing is left of Rebopp except for a HUGE crater*

Verity: *thrown clear by the shockwave* @.@ I was right.  That did hurt.

*still floating above the street, Jelynne starts laughing exactly like Naga* Woahohohohohoho!! You shouldn't have let your guard down, Rat-chan! *continues laughing*

Verity: *writhing in pain* Make her stop...

*as if someone threw a switch, Jelynne abruptly stops laughing* Now I've gotta go fix the plothole mess that rat caused.  *vanishes into a plothole*

Verity: Hey, wait! Aren't you going to untie me? Jelynne? Anybody?

somewhere in AuthorSpace...

Okay now, where to start? *taps her chin inthought for a moment* I think I'll start by closing down all those rogue plotholes.  Good thing I've got better control from in here.

*Jelynne frowns in concentration, then throws her hands wide* MEND!!

*every single plothole in the city slams shut*

There we go.  Now for the next step.

*reaches into her bag, and pulles out a megaphone* Okay, playtime's over folks! EVERYBODY OUT OF THE POOL!!

*all over the city, new plotholes open.  And all the peole and things that had vanished fall out.  Missing cameos, the Cafe Mieke, miscellaneous items, and various roach commando units abruptly reappear in various places.  The plotholes slam shut again*

Much better.  It was getting crowded in here.  I'd better get back to the city.  *summons an exit-type plothole and frowns at it a bit* The problem with these is that you never know where you're going to land.  *shrugs* Oh well.  Here goes! *leaps into the plothole*

Well, Rebopp is toast, and the whole rogue plothole problem has been fixed.  Hope I didn't make anybody's life too difficult.  Joe, the seedy subspace outfitter, is a publicly available character (so is his store), and you can use him if you like.  I have a feeling he could be useful to many people.

Just as a side note, I really can laugh like Naga.  Track me down and ask nicely, and I might demostrate.  Then again, I may just start for no reason except to see you cringe.  ^.^v

Bai!

Back.
