    "And you just upped and married him. Smart. . ." Kinta sarcastically commented.

    "Still pretty stupid that she never came to tell us, kupo." Monty dejectedly sighed, rubbing his head and his remaining whiskers.

    Kinta thought for a moment, contemplating the possibilities for Audri's block. "Well. . . It could be because of that Devil's plague, or from that massive magical explosion that was in no way knowingly my fault. Can Rhode's door get into it or was that what you tried?"

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    "Oh wait, weren't you the guy we pummeled mercilessly for being a complete dick and starting a war?" Ranma asked Sho, giving him a friendly smile, thinly veiling a very annoyed and malicious attitude towards the boy. "I suppose you're coming back for more beatings, considerin' that you came over here even though you knew we still wanted to pummel you."

    "It's quite possible but not like that matters, right?" Audri said smiling while Rhode shivered a little bit, "I tried to open the door to her mind once and i almost got dragged in there."

    "Dragged?! What the hell do you think of Audri?" Scarlett snapped while the blonde shrugged.

    "Nah, I just wanted to ask Riri a question about how to use this." Sho said as he held up a robotic-looking fishing pole. "Oh, it's eas- Wait.... Where did you get this?" Riri said as she backed up in fear. Sho looked at the fishing pole before looking at Riri confused, "I stole it off of my business partner. Wh-" Sho nearly fell over with a paralyzing dart in his neck.

    "Hah, you think you can go and make off with my damn fishing pole?!" A boy came through the crowd with a gun in his hands. He crouched down to Sho and snatched the fishing pole from his grasp before standing up. His eyes landed on Riri before he smirked. "Hey Riri, what brings you back to my place?" "Tch. Came to talk about my issues like usual Matthew. Does it bother you?" Riri said as she still kept her distance from the man as the smile on his face turned into a small frown.

    "Well, that can't be good. I mean, what the hell would compel her mind to try and drag people in?" Kinta commented, bewildered at the fact.

    “Strange things are afoot, kupo. It’s best we try to figure this out as soon as possible.”

    “Audri, sick?” Neli interjected, earning her both the attention of the group and an awkward silence.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    “Oh, you meant FISHING POLE earlier. That makes so much more sense now.” Ranma understood with a grin. Then Sho dropped it like it was Antarcticanly cold, and Matthew appeared. “Fan-tucking-fastic,” He continued, “Now that you’re here, you can tell me why she doesn’t like the fishing pole that much and what black stockings have to do with anything. I’m Ranma, by the way.”

    "Hm, well I can think of a few reasons, but it can't be that bad. It just means that some people have to be disciplined and put back into their place." Audri said after a moment while she tapped a finger to her forehead. "Are you a lunatic or what Audri? Who are you talking about?" Lizabeth said while Scarlett looked through her notes again trying to not pay attention to the conversation anymore.

    "I'm not crazy. It's just I have toys in my mind that tend to grow out of control sometimes. I've been having nightmares instead of being able to enter my mind when I sleep sometimes," Audri explained while Zackary came behind Audri and tapped on her head. "You're messed up, you know that?" Lizabeth said trying not to laugh.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Matthew glanced at Ranma before smiling and going over to shake his hand, "Ah, so YOU'RE the guy that I've heard so much from Riri and that paralyzed prick over there. The reason that Riri hates my lovely fishing pole is because I steal people's clothes with it. Mostly I'm stealing the girls' bras & panties." "And I'm still surprised that some of them still work for you!" Riri said as she quickly fled to the other side of the room.

    Matthew grinned before gestering over to Riri, "She's terrified of it since I haven't snatched her panties off yet. She started to bring people with her since she found out about my hobby of doing this. As for the black stockings... Huh, why do you have black stockings Riri?" Riri came over hesitantly before blushing slightly, "First off - I don't think leggings are like stockings, and second - It's so this idiot wouldn't try to steal my underwear and so i can kick his ass without giving him a panty shot."
    "Aww, but it's funny when i get to see your-" "You're not helping!" Riri snapped at Matthew who had a big grin on his face.

    "Audri, since when were you authoritarian?" Kinta asked, sweatdropping. Then, in a slightly annoyed tone, he added, "Toys and nightmares? You've really got to tell us these things more often. We could have used this information when we were still at Hollow Bastion."

    "I'd have to agree with Lizbeth, kupo. You're completely bonkers!" The moogle snickered, hopping up onto a chair.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    "And WHAT exactly have you heard about me?" Ranma asked, glaring at Sho. But he remembered the boy was unconscious and wouldn't feel the glare, so he just gave up. "And stealing undergarmets? Man, you're a mega-perv."

    After Riri described her predicament, he imagined just that - and got a nosebleed. He covered it up quickly, however, by placing his hand over the lower half of his face, acting like he was thinking.

    "It's true! Well, my toys are my own creations but that's not the point! I've always had this since i was a kid. I didn't think it was worth bringing up since it never was a bother." Audri said while Scarlett sweatdropped, "And yet you decide to tell us later anyways? So, what type of things are your toys made of? Plastic and metal gears?"

    Lizabeth looked amused until Audri grinned slightly, "Nah. It's mostly of remains of corpses. but there's plastic and gears involved when needed!"

    - - - - - - -- - - - -- - -- -- - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - -

    Matthew grinned at Ranma's statement about him being a mega-perv like he was told he won something. Riri was too distracted when she was yelling at Matthew to see Ranma have a nosebleed. She turned around glancing at him confused on what the hell he was doing.

    "So, back to why we're here..." Riri said as she turned back to face Matthew who seemed to be taking the dart out of Sho's neck and reloading his gun. "Hm? Oh, yeah! Well, I would say we can go talk in my office, but some idiot thought it'd be funny to go sleep with their girlfriend in there." Matthew said while Riri sweatdropped a little bit wondering how this guy was in charge.

    Matthew continued as he hooked Sho to the end of his fishing pole and dragged him towards the bar, "We can at least share a few drinks while we discuss our situation and wait for this idiot to wake up. How about that you two?" Riri glanced at Ranma before shrugging and following over her perverted friend.

    Corpses

    "Corpses, kupo."

    "Corpses?"

    "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WITH CORPSES?!" Kinta exploded, clearly disturbed by the fact that Audri's 'toys' are made out of bodies.

    "No need to shout, kupo. We all can tell that it is disturbing."

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    "Eh, fine." Ranma responded. "Although, I don't understand why you don't kick the bum out of your office, considerin' that it is YOUR office. Or even better, take pictures and blackmail 'em."

    As he sat down at the bar, he flagged down the bartender and asked for hard lemonade. "Always wanted to try the stuff." He told them, drumming his fingers while he waited.



    (The voice in Kinta's head is first, then Monty, then Neli.)

    "It's because I went grave digging when I was a kid and made bodies!" Audri said a little offended while Scarlett shook her head before looking over at Alice & Zackary, "Why is a kid like her grave digging in the first place?!"

    "I don't go out to grave dig anymore since I almost got cursed by a dead spirit once, and came across zombies another time. So i stuck with making bodies for people and creatures in my head. Sorry that you had to find out about this...." She said with a murmer while Lizabeth just started cracking up, "She is a loon!"

    - - - - - - -- - - - -- - -- -- - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - -

    "They locked the office door and I just got it fixed after the last time Riri broke it down." Matthew said while he lied Sho under the table tied up while Riri sat down closer to Ranma a bit eery of Matthew. "So, did you find anything about Zero?" Riri said while Matthew took his glasses off showing his bright yellow eyes.

    "I told you Riri, I couldn't find of trace of your brother. What makes you think he's still alive after that bloody destruction?" He asked the fox girl.

    "But. . . that doesn't even REMOTELY justify that. In fact, I think it just makes things worse!" Kinta complained. "I mean. . . that's just sick! I mean, wouldn't the spirit and the zombies be enough to warn any normal person? Wait, who am I kidding-"
    "- Given her lineage, kupo."
    "I wasn't going to say that."
    "But you were thinking it."

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    "Probably since the rest of the Balance is alive. That is the same world you're from, right Riri?" Ranma asked, the bartender delivering his sour alcoholic drink. He took the glass and downed it in one gulp, causing him to pucker immensely. "Jeez, didn't they put ANY sugar in this?"

    "I'm sorry if it's sick but i stopped using dead bodies years ago! Using dead bodies wasn't even my idea. Even before i met you, i stopped with making bodies since i had finished by that time, so i thought it is not worth bringing up..." Audri grumbled before Lizabeth sighed, "Ok, besides the fact that Audri might have a sick mind..."

    "This is too demented to just ignore Lizabeth!" Scarlett snapped making Audri jump a little.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    "Sorry about that Ranma. I'll give your drinks on the house." Matthew said before glancing over at Riri as she sat there tapping her fingers on the table. "No, this was a different destruction which led to the end of my specific race. Not like the Mithras and Fimiks, I was from a different tribe called Tsukis. My existance pretty much caused their downfall." Riri stated while she asked another bartender for a bottle of rum.

    "That still doesn't explain the whole situation to your friend here, so you might as well tell him the whole story." Matthew suggested pointing over at Ranma.

    I don't see what they are all complaining about. Imaginary bodies aren't a problem, especially since they're imaginary. The voice chimed in Kinta's head, much to his disdain. "That's just not right, Audri. It just isn't right."

    An awkward silence followed.

    A VERY awkward silence.

    Monty finally broke the silence by shouting, "Hey look, a reason to change the subject, kupo!"

    "Stupid," was Neli's response.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    "Well, I guess that makes for an interesting story, you know, the whole 'downfall' par-"

    Ranma was cut off by a fist driving itself into the back of his head, banging it against the counter. When he fell out of the chair from shock, he could see a lithe, feminine and hooded figure standing above him.

    "Sorry, I thought you were somebody else." She told him, not bothering to pick him up. "Here, have some free entry tickets as my apology. I'm trying to get rid of them anyways."

    She tossed four tickets onto him and vanished with a spell circle under her feet.

    "And this is just getting more awkward the more we talk.." Lizabeth said while Scarlett rubbed the back of her head in frusteration, "Why were you making bodies in the first place Audri?"

    "Well, grandpa Xenlo thought it was a good idea back then. Since he was the Noah of Time, he felt it wasn't right for those who died way before their time. He came to us and asked if we can help him make bodies for souls until they're satisfied with what they left behind or finish up any left over buisness!" Audri explained while Alice shook her head, "That's a bit over the top, but that does sound like something your grandpa would do.."

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Who the hell was that?!" Riri said a little stunned by Ranma's head cracking the counter and helped him off the ground. "Who cares who that is, we get free tickets!" Sho cheered as he picked up the tickets on the ground making Matthew whack him on the head, "For something we have no idea what it's for!"

    "Who cares? They're free.." Sho whined while Riri shook her head, "You are a friggen cheapstake, you know that?" "Duh, and when are you going to give me those pictures of Riri?" Sho grinned eyeing Ranma while Matthew perked his ears up, "You never told me anything about pictures Sho! What is he talking about Riri?"

    Riri just looked at the two before hitting her head on the counter a number of times. "Is she going to be ok, and why am I tied up?!" Sho snapped as he sat on the floor tied in fishing line.

    "Argh, that's just. . . that's just. . . argh. Messing with the dead, even if it's to help them, just isn't right!" Kinta grumbled, "Seriously. What kind of old man makes a little girl do something like that?"

    "Somebody who's related to Audri, kupo."

    "You aren't letting up at all today, are you?"

    "No- HOLYCRAP,KUPO!!!!"

    Neli began throwing knives at Monty, a glare permeating her normally blank gaze.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Ranma got up and punched Sho, then took the tickets and stuffed them in an inner pocket of his coat. "Well, they're mine now!" He cackled, brushing himself off. "What the hell would cause some lady to go and punch me for no reason like that?"

    After Sho made his demand, Ranma kicked him a couple of times. "No way, I need those for blackmailing! And plus, why the hell would I EVER give those pictures to somebody I hate as much as you?"

    Audri sighed as she shook her head holding Neli back, "Bad Neli. Don't hurt the moggle 'cause of what he says."

    Alice sweatdropped while Lizabeth shook her head, "Riight... But i see what the big deal is. I mean, as long as Audri stopped her... twisted hobby by now, there shouldn't be a problem, right?" "Well, i wouldn't say i'm finished per say.. Someone asked for a body a while ago and i've been working on that recently," Audri said letting go of Neli nervously.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    "Because it's no fun when one pervert has them all to hisself!" Sho barked while Riri slapped Matthew across the face, "You don't get to know what it's about!" "Damn... hm?" Matthew was interrupted when one of his staff whispered something to him. "Ugh, ok." He waved his staff off before throwing Riri over his shoulder and taking her away, "Sorry, you gotta do me a favor!"

    "Wha-HEY PUT ME DOWN!" Riri snapped bonking Matthew on the head as they dissapeared in the crowd.

    Neli listened to Audri and immediately quit in her attempts to harm the moogle. Monty breathed a heavy sign of relief, before Kinta suddenly whacked him on the back of his head.

    " 'S what you get." He grumbled before turning to Audri, inquiring,"And who, dare I ask, would want you to make them a body? When would they have asked you? It's not like you've really been away from the group that much."

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``

    "Hey, speak for yourself! I'm no pervert, I just like blackmail!" The brown-haired man cackled, taking another swig from the lemonade before remembering why he stopped drinking it in the first place. "Ugh. Sour." He grumbled, too preoccupied to notice what Matthew was doing, and by the time he had realized what had happened, the techie was most likely halfway through the crowds.

    "Aw crap." Ramna groaned, hopping off his chair and chasing after them. Leaving Sho tied up. Alone.

    "It's kind of a long story but i'll just give you a run-down since i rather not bore you with details," Audri said waving her hand in a circle before Lizabeth sweatdropped, "But shouldn't we know these important details?" "They're not that important! But I just know that she's been in my head for a while now. Only recently has she contacted with me and asked for the favor." Audri said while Alice shook her head, "You're messed but that's fine since we're family."

    "So, what's her name?" Scarlett asked while Audri looked up at the ceiling and shrugged, "I have no idea. I never bothered to ask since She just gave me some photos of her original body and just told me to make it within a couple of weeks. The deadline is in a few days though so I don't have much time left for anything else." "What happens if you don't finish on time?" Lizabeth asked while Audri shivered a little, "Oh you know... bad things happen. but i can get it done!"

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    "Well, this bites." Sho grumbled as we went to cutting through the wires by himself.

    "I can't believe you're making me do this..." Riri growled as she sat on the stage with her leg shackled to a microphone stand that was screwed into the stage. "Hey, all of the other DJs and singers got the flu and got in various car accidents! Besides, i heard you sing once on that one night at a karaoke bar." Matthew protested while he grabbed the microphone and turned it on.

    "Hey everyone! Tonight we're having issues with our regular singers so I thought my friend would like to give it a try for tonight!" Matthew said as his voice wen through the speakers getting people's attention. Riri blushed a little as she quickly got to her feet while Matthew patted her head, "So give it up for the little foxy nightingale!" Matthew jumped off the stage while people cheered for Riri while she was stuck on the stage.

    "Argh, why does everything have to be so confusing?" Kinta groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose. "It's just one thing after another around here, isn't it?"

    "At least it's not all bad, kupo. We could have been on the run from some diabolical and evil force. THEN you'd have something to complain about, kupo." Monty piped in, trying to make Kinta a bit less grumpy. "It could ALWAYS get worse."

    "Oh, don't say that. Something bad always happens when somebody says that."" Kinta whined while facepalming.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Ranma got midway through the throng of people when he noticed Riri on the stage. With a grin, he cackled under his breath, "Man, sucks to be her! This is gonna be hilarious!"

    "What's Foxy girl doin' up on the stage-mabob? Yani wants to know!" Came an incredibly familiar voice.

    Aw, crap. What the hell is that Yin girl doing here? Ranma thought, before turning to address the rabbit girl. "I would ask what, but I'm more interested in how. How the hell did you get off the Balance?"

    "Yani used LIGHT BEEEEAAAAMS!" The rabbit girl cheered, her eyes sparkling as she did so.

    "Well, i'm sorry if everything is so damn confusing for you but i don't have to talk anymore about this!" Audri huffed crossing her arms before an alarm clock went off. "Oh, time for me to go now," Audri said as she jumped from her chair pulling the said alarm from Zackary's pocket and put it back into her own pants pockets.

    "What do you mean go?" Alice said while Audri went to the fridge with a bottle of wine and opened up a portal. "I have to get my work done if i want to not... get in trouble on time." She explained as she stepped through. "But what about the-" Scarlett was cut off as Audri threw the bottle back, completely empty, at her head before the portal closes. "Hmm, something is fishy with Audri..." Lizabeth mutter while Scarlett sweatdropped, "But what about the info i had on the Noah of the Mind?"

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    "And hello to you too~!" Matthew came out of no where sweeping Yani off of her feet carrying her. "Can you stop chasing girls for at least a moment?" Sho grumbled as he weaved trough the crowd with Matthew's fishing pole in hand and a bottle of vodka in the other.

    "Shut up you stupid-" "Well, before I get on with singing for the rest of the night, I'd like to say that your boss is a total ass and you're never going to convince me otherwise to get engaged to him again!" Riri said barking in laughter on the stage while the crowd was a mix of cheers and pleas. "Why that little.." Matthew growled as he glared daggers at Riri up on stage.

    "Wait, what? Why did you have an alarm in your pocket?" Kinta asked, continuing his confusion.

    "You've been asking a lot of questions, kupo."

    "That's because I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT IS HAPPENING ANYMORE!"

    "No need to yell, kupo."

    Neli agreed to the Moogle's comments with a "Noisy."

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    "Heh, sucks to be you, Mattson or whatever your name is." Ranma cackled, grinning at Riri's comment. "And don't molest the bunny girl, she has crazy-ass laser powers."

    "What's a laser? All Yani can do is this!"

    Yani used a pulse of light to push herself off of Matthew and back onto her feet.

    "See? No silly 'lasers' " She chided Ranma, obviously unaware that she blasted the pervert to the ground with her little technique.

    "I didn't know that was there. I MUST BE A MAGICIAN!" Zackary said while Alice sweatdropped, "But aren't you a wizard?" "... Shut up Alice." He said while Scarlett shook her head, "While Audri is gone, I wanted to go over-" "Has anyone noticed that Audri was talking weird earlier?" Lizabeth pointed out cutting off Scarlett from talking.

    "How so?" Alice asked while Scarlett tried to get everyone attention back on her. "Well, she was kind of talking like a royal. She kept saying 'we' and 'us' when she was explaining a few times..." Lizabeth said while Alice smiled in a goofy way, "Is it bad to mention that Audri's mother was a twin?"

    An awkward silence followed before Lizabeth tackled Alice into the counter and shook her around, "WORST TIMING EVER! WHY DO YOU ALWAYS GIVE US LATE NOTICES OF THINGS LIKE THIS!??!!"

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    "Ow." Matthew coughed out a few rings of smoke as he lied at the bottom of the mini-crater in the middle of the floor, still conscious. Sho laughed at the pervert in the hole while Riri managed to catch a glimpse of the others from Yani's 'light beam'.

    Riri shook her head before she grabbed a hold of the microphone and sang on stage.
