Beatrice sat up, and wiped the blood she'd coughed up away from her mouth. "Like I said, pain's no stranger to me. And besides, I'm Beatrice! Tough as brick, and hurts just as much as one!"
"She's also dumb as one," Taffy said under his breath. Beatrice would have punched him if she wasn't still wearing the spiked gloves.
Okay. Spiked gloves, not a good design decision after all.
Well, Chip ruined her new outfit anyways. It was time to make a new one. Maybe something with a Vocaloid-ish theme...
Taffy turned to the conversation at hand. "Who knows? It's entirely possible. I've already met an alternate universe version of Tree."
"Whaaaaaat?!" Beatrice turned to Taffy. "Why the hell didn't you tell us these things!?" She was starting to get mad.
"There hasn't been enough time to!" Taffy said, a little taken back at this. "She's the person I learned about the doppelgangers from, anyways. She's from a universe the doppelgangers took over. Anyways, it's possible we might run across the Otto and Wally from you guys' universe while running around. But we need to plan out what we do next."
Beatrice counted off the options on her hands. "We can go right after Ms. Dopple, go after Chip, find this Mallow guy, look for the real Otto and Wally, try to find Gantz so he doesn't get himself killed, or look for Treetune. While I'd prefer the last one, just so I can wring her stupid little neck, it sounds like you guys all need to find these Otto and Wally people."
Despite the threat on Tree's life, there was genuine concern in Beatrice's voice for her friend.
((OOC: And said alternate Tree's totally unreliable. Being forced to fight for her life has made her super-paranoid, so you can't rely on her info for anything pretty much. Not unless it's video game related.))

Climber turned to Beatrice giving her a knowing nod. "Otto and Wally are tough fighters, if anyone can defeat Chip or this Ms. Dopple, they can." Kosumu nodded ecstatically. "Uh-huh! They heroes!" "Moving along..." Metal came next holding up his index finger. "How are we going to find them? Nutcase, you found the other Otto just fine, but how are we going to find the one you know?" He crossed his arms with this emoticon showing in his visor; '  '. "How do we know their even on the island? Gantz has never mentioned them once if I recall." The one to answer that question was the Climber. "Why don't we just look for them? I mean, it can't be that hard right? I mean this island isn't that big." Metal shook his head. "This island is the size of Asia and North America squished together Climber. It's VERY big." ................. ................. ................. "Asia? North... America?" Climber raised an eyebrow, confused as heck. |

Fujin was thrown by the names of the countries spouted off as well. However, she was more than willing to admit it may have been a result of her missing memory. Besides, she was more concerned about feeling rather third wheel in the situation.
"If you would not mind my interjection... I am afraid I will be not help to you. It is possible," she looked down at her hands, remembering the fire she had summoned, "I had the skills to aid in your journey once upon a time... but as I am now, I do not..."
She looked a little scared. She didn't want to hold Kosumu back but she was terrified of being alone. As it were, it was painfully obvious that she wasn't the type to do well in a fight...
Alone again... What again? she shook her head, and squeezed her eyes shut. Something was nagging at the corners of her mind, I don't know! Why again? Why is my mind saying again...? She seemed to have drifted into her own world...

Looking at Fujin, Nutcase said to the others "Considering the dangers of the island, it wouldn't be wise to leave her here alone. She may drag us down, sure, but do we really want to condemn a person to death? Especially if Ms. Dopple comes back looking for us and finds out Fujin had spoken to us."
Clown Man then said, "Yeah and if she does have some kind of power, what if Ms. Dople picks up on it and turns her into a doppleganger as well? Then we'd be in real trouble having two shape-shifting freaks on our tails."

Beatrice thought about it. "Didn't Ms. Dopple say that they couldn't actually turn people into doppelwhatsits yet? She said something about a half-breed converstion project..."
Taffy nodded. "Doppelgangers can breed with humans, so there's a few half-breeds running around. They can't shapeshift, so they're basically just humans with weird hands and eyes. Ms. Mirror, the lead researcher for the doppelgangers, recently figured out how to turn half-breeds into doppelgangers after turning full blooded humans into them failed. Though, Ms. Dopple said she'd ask her sister to start looking into the original project again..."
Beatrice looked back at Fujin. "Fine, let's take her along then."

Fujin shook her head, "Please do not let me... I mean, you don't have to be that concerned!" Oh that sounded completely convincing... not. She was sincere in not wanting to harm their efforts, but this talk of dopplegangers worried her.
But something was saying to some corner of her mind that concern over her could lead people to a terrible fate. And that she couldn't protect them... again with the "this" time thoughts. She reached for a non-existant something at her breast. It was the level a pendant might have hung... what was there? What should be there? What did she keep reaching for....?
She looked up to the group. Was being "brave" the right thing to do. She looked frightened. Despite looking around seventeen her eyes were filled with the fear of a little girl who had lost her way...
(OOC: Maybe we should wait for Gantz? Also, I think I'm gonna move Magus soon. Just cause now would be a really good time for these two to meet up and zero is being teh inactive. >__>)

Kosumu noticed Fujin's actions, as well as the others. Though he was more confused then anything else. He walked over to Fujin and gave her a curious look. "Won't come with us?.. Fujin?" He asked.
"Either way, they are right in many effects." Metal looked to Fujin giving her a serious look. "Ms. Dopple quite possibly WILL come back for us, but until then we should keep you safe." He shook his head, "Nutcase wasn't exagerrating when he said their are dangers on this island, some more powerful then others."
"One of them is after our friend Gantz." came Climber regretfully, causing a few stares to turn his way. "Sorry, just thought I'd give a... Uh..."
"Example; Climber." Metal droned.
"Oh yeah! Example!" the doll nodded at that. "That was the word I was looking for!"
Kosumu smiled widely at Fujin, "Besides... If you stay... I stay too!" That possibly caught Fujin by surprise. "You friend, Fujin. Won't abandon you."

"So are we all in agreement on this then? Find Otto and Wally, and if possible get ahold of Mallow, if he is here like the rest of us." Nutcase said as hespouted off the objectives one last time.

Fujin looked down at Kosumu. Mixed in with the worry and sadness was an overwhelming feel of gratefulness. Yes. Never send away hope... it was the most comforting thought her subconscious had sent her yet. She nodded.
"It would seem the danger is very great, although I am unable to claim full understanding of it. While I do not wish to weigh the group down, I also do not wish to put it in danger for other reasons. I will come with you. I do not want to harm Kosumu's chances of finding his friends. I, after all, have no direction myself. Perhaps I will find more of myself by going with you," she paused, "Thank you..."

"Alright then!" Beatrice said, and looked around. "But, how about we get some sleep first? While our magical friend over there--" She pointed to Kosumu with her thumb. "--healed my heart and Taffy's leg, I think we can all agree that we need some rest before tomorrow. I, for one, am fu-- effing exausted, and plus, I still need to make a new outfit thanks to a certain alien. So, if you need me, I'll be sewing."
And then she got up and limped into another room. Taffy watched her go.
"Either she's not telling us something or she's taking nearly dying thanks to Chip really well." Taffy said.

"Worry about it later." Nutcase said as he reached into his pocket, pulligng out an old pokect watch made of solid gold. "She has a point about us getting rest. It's 7:00, and if we were to leave now we wouldn't get far in our search. Considering Beatrice needs the rest most, she'd just bog us down if we left now."

A nod of agreement came from the Climber. "Yeah, you might be right." He walked over to Fujin and Kosumu, smiling down on them. He suddenly raised his painted on eyebrows, a thought striking him, "Oh I'm sorry! You introduced yourselves, but I've never given you my name! Gantz told me that's only good manners!" He brought a hand to his chest, his multiple samurai robes cushioning his hand. "I'm the Climber! It's very nice to meet you."
Kosumu smiled and waved, happy to make a friend.
The mannequin then motioned to Metal, "And this is my friend Metaru, also known as Metal."
"Pleasure." Was his response, a ':-)' Emoticon in his visor.

When she had come to the island, Metal may have surprised Fujin a bit. As it was, she had pretty much gotten used to the variety of peoples on the island. Although going into a full out formal curtsy may have seemed a bit much in response to Metal's introduction. More and more she seemed like royalty, "The pleasure is all mine. Would you prefer Metal or Metaru?"
Thing was, she had decided names were very important. The pain of not knowing your true one... it was not something she would have wished on anyone. Or at least she didn't think she would. The amnesia had caused her brain to trip at the comment.
As she stood up from her curtsy, she heard a tearing noise. She looked extremely startled and looked down. It wasn't anything to be concerned over. It was just that her already ragged clothes had torn in another spot. She probably needed a change...

Taffy stared at Fujin's clothes. "Hey, if you want, I'll ask Beatrice to make you something before we leave. She's good at making clothes, if they can be a bit extreme at times."
