Chubba finally calmed down a bit. "Hoo... i think i hurt my feet a little..." he sighed, landing on his butt. That unstable wavelength calmed down, like it was never there. It wasn't signyfying he was going berserk, just that it was possible.
How though, is another story.
"Man, I really need to stop getting psyched about fights... bad on the old frame."

Chip frowned and swung his leech sleeves around again to knock away the dolls. He tired of this battle. Easiest thing to do was to knock Alice out. Eat her? Naaah. He wasn't that hungry. But he didn't really like little girls.
He didn't like little boys who weren't were they belonged, either.
He decided to finish this up quickly, and ran headlong toward Alice, his right sleeve stretching out as he brought it down on top of her.
------------------
The black, inky being began to whimper. Its claws dug into Ford's shoulders, but Ford didn't even so much as flinch. There were reasons he didn't flinch, of course. Those shoulders weren't flesh. It began to whisper into Ford's ear.
"You take on the qualities of those you absorb," Ford said, looking right up at Marisa as he talked. "You can't have her either."

Alice shook from the blow. She didn't expect those sleeves to do that much damage. "D-Darn it..." She stumbled back, then collapsed, unconscious.
Michael gasped. "Alice! No..." Michael tensed, ready to act at a moment's notice.
Marisa shouted, too, though not at Alice... she shouted at Ford. "Oi! What the hell are you talking about, ze? And, for that matter, how do you know that weirdo with the freaky sleeves down there!?"

And there it was. A thud, big as life. Chubba was almost speechless. "No... Way..." He may have turned his eyes toward the skyward witch for a moment, but looked right back at Alice. Chip was no small customer.

Chip retracted his sleeve and walked up to where Alice lay unconscious. He moved his sleeve across her head, cutting off a lock of hair with the teeth on the end of the sleeve. The leech then ate the lock of hair. Chip looked up at Michael.
"Thank you for the battle! I'm glad to see that you took this fight seriously," Chip said cheerfully.
---------------
Ford chose to ignore Marisa's first question. She didn't need to know the mechanics of how the Black Cat worked. Too much information to share with a woman he'd likely end up fighting.
"He worked for the daughter of a friend of mine for a time," Ford said, shrugging.

Marisa merely scowled. That was very little information, but she didn't expect to get anything more. She merely said, "Alright, ze. He's just really freaking me out." Marisa then looked and saw Alice unconscious. "Ack! Alice!" Marisa then flew down on her broom, landing next to Michael.
Michael said, through a snarl, "To think that Alice would lose that easily... guh..."

(OOC: Ryo, since you're away for the next week, we're skipping you in this thread. You can jump back in at any time)
Chip frowned as the others continued to react negatively. "Are you two going to be sore losers about this? We agreed to a fair fight."
Ford jumped down from the tree and floated down to the ground, the Black Cat following behind. The creature hovered behind Ford, still whispering in his ear as he landed.
"What are two of Gensokyo doing here?" Ford asked. He didn't even look at Michael.

Michael relaxed his expression. "Can you honestly think that I would'nt be a little concerned, considering what you did to Shanghai, there?" Michael gestured towards the chewed-up doll laying on the ground.
Marisa went and carried Alice back to where Michael was. She raised two fingers in front of Alice's face. "Hey, Alice. How many fingers am I holding up, ze?"
Alice looked at Marisa's hand. "...November...?" Alice collapsed back into an unconscious state.
Michael slightly sweatdropped at that. "We're here on a mission; we don't really know what exactly we're supposed to be looking for, per se, just that something's going on here. Yukari sent us.

Chip waved it off. "She'll be fiiiiiine."
When Ford spoke, he appeared quite annoyed, though. Whatever his relationship was with the child magician, it didn't seem to be a positive one.
Ford chuckled. "A vague mission, with no statement of your purpose to go with your summons to the nexus of dimensions. Then allow me to state your purpose for you. She wished to remove you from her world, and does not intend on summoning you back."
[glow=purple,2,300]"Blackstaff... let me go..."[/glow]
"Shut up!" Ford yelled. His patience was beginning to wear thin.

Michael just laughed. "You kiddin' me? Some people might do things like that, but Yukari?! She pulls that 'enigmatic' crap every Tuesday! I'm not that worried. 'Sides, Reimu would kick her ass if she left us here." Turning towards Chip, Michael's face then became a bit more serious. "By the way, why did you eat that lock of Alice's hair? I couldn't really see exactly what you did, but I heard it clearly enough."
Marisa started rummaging through her bag, looking for something.

((OOC: Black Cat's text is just going to be colored purple now since the purple glow isn't showing up right on most browsers.))
"Believe what you like," Ford said, shrugging.
"He's not right... let me devour him..."
"No. Do not argue the matter."
"I'd be more cooperative if you'd let me go after him..."
Chip chuckled at Michael's question. "I wanted to see what she tasted like. For the record, she tastes like strawberry iced tea."

At Chip's last comment, Marisa looked up from rummaging through her bag to look at him with a raised eyebrow. Michael did the same.
Michael then thought of something else. "By the way, um... Blackstaff, was it? Anyway, that cat... thing of yours is saying things that are really starting to freak me out. What's with that thing?"
"Ah ha! Here it is, ze!" Marisa pulled out a small vial from her bag. She poured a few drops into Alice's mouth, and Alice started to stir.
"Unngh... what hit me?"

Ford looked toward Michael with an unamused look on his face. "His name is the Black Cat. He is a being of my own creation, who engorged himself upon an entire dimension before I made him into my own familiar."
He looked to the side and scowled. "For some reason he thinks that a creature from the dimension he devoured still lives, and wants to finish the job. I've told him many times that he devoured that being, but he refuses to listen."
"The immortal one... he stole him, he saved him... I need to help my boy... Let me go..."

Michael shuddered slightly at Ford's description. To think that something like that cat was capable of doing something like that... "A-Anyway... like I said before, we were sent here. Yukari suspected that something might be happening here, so she sent us."
Marisa said, "Well, even if there isn't anything happening right now, something might later. We might as well take it easy until then, huh? Ah!" Marisa grabbed the chewed-up Shanghai doll. "I should probably get this so Alice can repair it, ze."

"Hm," Ford said. "Everything that was going to happen in this world has already passed."
"Don't be so fatalistic, Blackstaff," Chip said with a less whimsical tone than he usually spoke with. "And buzz off. This is a no kids zone."
"He knows...."
"Quiet," Ford ordered once more.
