Feel free to post a little bit in the past if you wanted to finish what you were doing, but I wanted the story get moving again. Please forgive me, I'm writing Charles sleep deprived.
~Charles
"How is that even possible..." I rubbed the black and blue mark on my face. "I can't even... what?" I was back at my room. Nyx had slugged me, and it... hurt. Really bad. I ran off after that, back here, waiting, watching the television in the hotel. I refused to let her see that I was hurt. But how did she manage to hurt me. My skin should have easily taken that blow.
I heard Rei and Des make their way back first. They were laughing and sounded happy enough. I fell asleep too early to hear the others come back though.
That night I had a dream that I was an ant. I was scourging around trying to find food, when I found a person. They didn't seem to even notice my existence, and were coming in my direction. Trying to move out of the way they stepped on me.
I awoke to find Rei kicking me. It didn't hurt like yesterday. Everything seemed to be working like it should. Which means it should be fine to ignore him for now.
Rei timed his kicks with his words. "Get... Your... Fat... ASS... Out... Of... BED... We've... Been... WAITING... For... Half... AN HOUR"
"FURRY!" With the swiftness of a middle-aged ballerina wrestler I put him in a hug-lock. "I missed you so much furry."
"Get away from me Charles. What are you some freak that's into yaoi or something."
"Shhh, the wall gremlins will hear you. Especially in that forth wall over there. They will be quiet upset."
"That's ridi-"
Then from the walls. "WOBLYGOOBLY!!!"
"FU@K, what was that Charles?"
"I told you to beware the wall gnomes."
"I thought you said they were gremlins."
"First one, then the other."
"That doesn't make any sense."
"Do you want to make sense, or be alive. Come with me if you want to live."
"..."
"NOW!"
The walls began to rumble. "Fine, I'll go with you Charles, but only because you're amazing, and I'm a furry."
"It was at this point we did a simultaneous summersault back flip combo moves out of the building. Sadly, Rei has been out of practice, and fell behind, and was eaten by the wall faries."
Des gave me a long, hard stare. "Did you actually expect me to believe that story?"
"It's too late not to."
"Charles, I make no joke when I say I hate you."
"Hate hurts Des. So does love. So through the transitive property you love me. That's perfectly understandable."
Des smacked me. She pulled back her hand in pain. My modification is still working it seems.
Rei came bursting out of the building. "Don't ask, let's get going."
Des pointed over to a large car. "I threw large quantities of money around, and got us that." The car was silver, and looked like it came out of the future's future.
I ran over to the car, and jumped in. "BACK EQUIVELENT OF SHOTGUN!!!" The others loaded themselves into the car like some group of boring people that didn't think seating arrangement was the most crucial decision of their life.
Jasper got into the driver's seat and placed his hand by the keyhole, and the car started.
I put my head in-between the front seats. "Why didn't you just use the keys."
Des and Jasper had an awkward look at each other.
I let out a gasp. "You didn't throw money around carelessly like a proper rich person to get this car, did you. You stole it."
Des let out a cry of shame. "I tried to, but... I might have already spent all my money. These things are expensive."
"You scallywag. I guess this makes us pirates, and you my crew."
K'satri hit me with her newfangled beating stick. "So help me you idiot. I am the captain of this ship. You are nothing but a common bilge rat."
"Yes captain 'Satri."
"Then we shall set sail." And with that we took off to Gravestone for a lifetime of magic and adventure.
