Tales of a Journey (Private!)

"Wait, who's Altessa and why do you keep mention Ranma like he was part of the problem, and why is the little robot girl saying something about heartbreak?" Zero asked quizically as Andre shook his hands waving the fox boy off, "Short story for both - First, Altessa is an evil dead witch who tried to kill us because of personal reasons. Second, Riri fell in love with Ranma and now Ranma is having memory problems which is why Riri is heartbroken."

"That bastard!" Zero and Matthew said as their ears pointed up in alert as the looks on their faces seemed a little disgusted hearing the news about Ranma. "Calm down, aren't you two supposed to be comforting a heart-broken girl?" Chaos said appearing behind the two fox men as they looked at each other before they took off.

"Glad that you came Chaos. I need you to call your brother Florence," Andre said as Chaos grabbed a chair from another table with a snide smirk on his face, "Not happening, you know that me and my brother aren't on speaking terms." "Look, we really REALLY need his help about something that Dietrich has," Scarlett said as Chaos rolls his eyes, "I suppose... only if everyone agrees to make out with me."
"GO TO HELL!" Andre snarled as he tossed a knife at Chaos which he luckily dodged before laughing nervously.

 

"Chaos has always known as a pervert, but being greedy is a different thing," Andre said annoyed with his friend as Chaos looked at the moogle seeing it walk away.
"Geeze! I'm kidding you guys! Can't you take a small joke? Even though it would probably pretty hot to kiss all of you here," Chaos laughed nervously while Scarlett shook her head looking over at Kinta, "I wouldn't be surprised if he got a hint of Greed for those two being brothers and all. But he's a Pride sin, only because he boasts about things I rather not talk about now since we have children here," Scarlett said gesturing over to Monty and Neli like they were the youngest there.
"What type of stuff would you say would be the usual topics?" Xander asked curiously as Scarlett counted off on her fingers for a moment before looking over at her sweetheart smiling. "Well, probably the people he's slept with, how many people he've eaten today as a lion, maybe how much he drank, and a lot of other devious things," Scarlett said with a smile as Xander muttered something to himself before blushing.

"J-just take a chill pill all of you. I think Zero would be up my ass if I tried to cheat on him," Chaos laughed nervously as he snatched Andre's phone from him before dialing a number. "Just out of cureousity, how come we aren't asking Dietrich directly?" Audri asked as Andre scratched the back of his head, "A... Apparently he has something to deal with.. like a wedding with Alice."

"Yeah, apparently Alice and Dietrich are engaged," Xander commented as Andre looked over at her surprised, "Really? Why? Is the world coming to an end?" "It's possible, since I find it odd myself," Audri said with a smile as Chaos was shouting on the phone at his brother on the other line.
"I wonder if Matthew and Zero found and cheering up Riri yet," Scarlett said wondering a bit as Rauxdi shrugged.

 

"Hey, you never told us how old that 'respectable age' of yours is Monty, so how am I supposed to know that's not kiddy size?" Scarlett snapped at Monty as Xander sweatdropped trying to get in between the two from attacking each other, "Please don't fight you two, this is seriously the dumbest thing I ever heard anyone ever fight about."

"Yeah, well this is supposed new to me, but they had asked A LOT of help from Alice's brothers and sisters who actually liked Dietrich and Zackary. The one thing I'm not certain about is if they told Xenlo yet," Andre said as Rauxdi sweatdropped, "I overheard Dietrich and Alice saying that they were going to tell Xenlo a week before so he'd at least show up at the bachelor party and have not enough time to ruin the wedding in case he get's a little insensitive about the whole Alice-Dietrich thing that went on... 50.. maybe 60 years ago?"

"Well, that's a long grudge, but I think that Dietrich is planning this wedding early for a reason," Andre said crossing his arms as Chaos finished with his phone call with his brother, "Well, Florence said he'd check if he can find the book you all need while Dietrich is out, but he said he'd call me once he finds it. So, out of curiosity, what do you need the book for again?" "Oh, well... Let's just say that a little fox girl got her heart ripped out of her chest by the one she loves and he doesn't remember shit about their relationship," Audri said waving her hands over her head as Chaos sweatdropped nervously, "What the hell does that mean?"
"Audri, your sarcasm sucks. She means that Ranma got his memory erased and Riri is heartbroken because those the idiots were in love," Rauxdi said as Audri ate her food trying to bury her self-esteem into her stomach.

~~~~~~~~~

"Riri, are you in there?" Zero whined sitting outside of the hotel door as he heard some type of whining or crying in the room, not sure since it sounded like a dying bird. "Hey Zero, did she open the door yet?" Matthew asked as he walked back over from the front desk as Zero shook his head, "Nothing at all. Did you ask-" "Yep! Got it," Matthew said with a smile as he flashed a key in his hand.

"Oh yay! Gimmie!" Zero said jumped to his feet as Matthew tossed him the key just as the hotel room door opened. "Rir- Oh shit," Zero said jumping a little when he saw his sister standing there with puffy bloodshot eyes, her hair a tangled mess, and her face soaking wet in tears and snot.

"W... What do you guys want?" Riri asked in such a scratchy voice that the two boys figured it was from all of the crying and wailing. "Well, we're here to cheer you up!" Matthew said holding up to the boquet of red roses to Riri that it suddenly took her back surprised as Zero nodded his head, "Even... Even though our family and friends died a long time ago because of our mommy's rage Riri, we're siblings and have each other's back through thick and thin!" "You... You guys," Riri said as she started crying tears again as Matthew and Zero pulled her into a group hug trying to comfort the girl.

After they all stopped talking trying to comfort her, Riri piped up in a pretty annoyed voice, "If either of you is having a boner right now because of this, I'm going to kick you asses." Matthew and Zero quickly stepped away as Matthew glared over at Zero, "Really Zero?" "Hey, it was an opportunity to hug you! And what about you?" "...I have my cellphone in my pockets?" Matthew said trying to not blush as Riri shook her head laughing at the two of them. Even for being pain in the asses, they really were their own close-knit Tsuki "family".
"So, how about we get you to take a bath, get dressed in some nice clothes, and head off into town for something to eat and drink?" Matthew said smiling as he held the red roses in his hands still as Riri nodded, "Sure, just give me some time to get ready then." Zero scratched her ears smiling as he spoke up, "Thank god! We didn't think you were going to leave this room because Ranma might be out and-"

The hotel door slammed as Riri went into the room crying again once she heard Ranma's name. Matthew glared daggers at Zero before slapping him upside the head, "You idiot! Give me the damn hotel key now." "Yes'm," Zero whined handing the key to Matthew as he unlocked the hotel room door to get inside.

 

OOC: Lol, it's good. Just went to my first college class today! X3 and now i'm curious

Audri thought that she was onto something when she wondered what went wrong with Xenlo's rod when Ranma came back to the table. "Damnit, I lost my train of thought.." Audri pouted holding her head in her hands as Andre laughed nervously.

"My god Ranma, what the hell did you do to your face?!" Scarlett laughed as she sat in her chair while Xander tried to hide himself behind Scarlett as he started laughing.
"I would have to guess that he tried to hit on a guy who looked like a very pretty lady," Andre said with a snicker as Rauxdi sweatdropped looking over at him, "Why don't we just have the moron tell us himself on what he did, if we wants to that is."

"STAY AWAY FROM MEEE!!" Riri screamed as she ran past the restaurant in her fox form. Matthew and Zero ran past moments later with a pet carrier and a net.
"What the hell are they doing?" Chaos asked as Andre shrugged, "Beats the hell out of me."

 

"Can I say something?" Xander asked really wanting to say something but Scarlett tackled him to the ground and kissed him from speaking anymore about the topic. "Bloody hell Scarlett," Andre said seeing Scarlett tackle his Nobody to the ground and smothering him with her lips as Rauxdi cackled a little, "He deserves it for busting into business he shouldn't he in the first place!"

"Yeah, no kidding. Oh Zero, my love!" Chaos shouted from his seat, seeing Zero stop in his tracks and running over seeing that Zero was soaking wet in water from what they were able to tell now that he was standing there with the net in hand.
"Out of curiosity, why are you wet my dear?" Chaos asked cocking his head to the side as Zero sweatdropped, "Well, we thought about getting Riri to take a bath, and she snapped about something about Matthew being a perverted douchebag before almost knocking me out in the tub."

"A bath? Man, you two are really pathetic," Audri said shaking her head as Zero shook his head blushing, "Hey, don't group me with Zero! He's a... You know, I was going to be nice, but forget it since he's an asshole with a big heart... Well, when he's not being a pervert that is."

Something almost knocked the table over as they looked over to see Matthew was leaning against the table leg with a broken carrier over his head.
"Tch, that's the last time you idiots try to pull another tail grabbing trick on me," Riri snapped as she grabbed Xander's fallen chair seeing the idiots making out on the ground before she sat herself down to the unconscious pursuer.
"And there's the truth behind it all," Andre said glancing over at Zero with a raised eyebrow as Zero held his hands up in minor defense, "Hey, it was all Matty's idea. So don't go blaming me."

OOC: Alrightly and "only on the job?" Oh no, please do not tell me you're making him a host of some sort o__O;

 

OOC: Oooooooo, ok then. That makes more sense :3

Riri grabbed onto the edge of the table digging her nails into it as she nodded her head nervously. "I-I'm fine. I'm fine. Hahaha, what would make you think that I'm not fine?" Riri asked as the pitch in her voice went higher as she spoke.

Audri looked around before looking over at the fox girl, "Riri, just let it out if you need to. Ranma's not in the area right no-"
"I'm actually kind of glad that Neli took Ranma away because I probably would have raped him if given the chance," Riri said blushing a little as Xander and Scarlett sat back down in some chairs as their little make-out fest on the ground was over.

"Do... Do you really think that we'd let you do something that low?" Zero asked a little high-strung on what Riri just said as the girl shrugged, "Maybe? I don't really know, but it's KILLING me that I can't just walk up to Ranma and give him a kiss or any type of flirtation I would have done since I like him."

"Right, well I have one thing to ask," Andre said as the fox girl just turned her head looking at the curious blonde demon in what he had to say.
"Is Matthew dead because I'm not staying for the funeral," Andre said jokingly as Riri looked to see where Matthew was before shrugging, "I did just kick him in the head and gave him a bloody nose. But I'm pretty sure that he's alive."

 

"Agreed," Audri said as she got up from her seat as Rauxdi and Andre followed suit.

"Ah, I think I'll stay around, besides, I have to wait for my idiotic brother to come around some day with whatever the hell you guys need," Chaos said as he sat in a chair pulling Zero into his lap as Scarlett bounced up to go pay for what they had eaten already. Zero blushed at first before curling up in Chaos' lap like there was no tomorrow as the Pride Sin sat there smiling.

"I... I guess I can get something to eat before I start craving souls," Riri said as she picked up a menu from under the mess as Audri looked over at Riri a bit concerned, "Are you sure that you are going to be fine Riri?"
The green haired fox looked up and smiled, "Come on Audri, I have you guys as a sort of support to have when I'm down like this. I... I think I'll be fine for now."
"If you say so," Andre said as he walked away with Rauxdi linked around his arm and his hands in his pockets.
"I.... Well, you know where to find us if you need someone to talk to about this," Audri said trying to force a smile on her face as she grabbed Kinta's hand.

 

Scarlett came back as she noticed Cu Sith was squawking about something with Monty as she rejoined Xander and the others.

"You have to be kidding me. Kinta, I thought you just got a new bracelet," Scarlett whined as Xander kissed her on the cheek, "Now Scarlett, don't worry about a thing. Besides, Kinta thinks that he might be a bit stronger than the moogles though." Scarlett bit her lip trying to not laugh as his statement as Audri glanced back at Scarlett with a bit of a nervous look on her face.

"Audri? What's wrong?" Xander asked knowing that if Scarlett tried to talk, she'd bust out laughing.

"Must... Not.... Oh, fuck this," Audri said as she turned back around and tackled Cu Sith squealing, "You're so FLUFFY that I might die from the adorableness!"
"What the hell, why doesn't she do that with Monty?" Xander asked confused as Scarlett was calm enough to answer, "Audri would try to touch Monty's pom pom and he doesn't like that at all."
Xander nodded as he looked over seeing Audri was standing up with Cu Sith in his arms looking over at Kinta, "I know this might be a terrible idea, but how about we have the fluffy rabbit help up with restraining your magic and all?"

 

"Yeah, I still have my sister stuff. And I don't know how Riri will feel about Ranma falling in love with her through an artificial way of loving a person," Scarlett said rubbing her neck knowing that she'll have to dig through her stuff to find her sister's stuff.
"If you want to use it, go ahead. I'll just be here drowning my sorrows in some alcohol," Riri said overhearing the two talk as she waved for a waiter to come over and get her a bottle of red wine.

"And speaking of complications, where is Lizabeth?" Audri asked as Xander popped by her side and prying Cu Sith from her arms to put him down, "She said something about having sex with Justis in Twilight Town after she turned him back into a human from some sort of form of a stuffed teddy bear?"
"Yeah, it's a long story on how he turned into a teddy bear and lets just say it involved a lot of alcohol and drugs," Audri said blushing a little as Xander just facepalmed at the girl's blushing reaction.
Xander looked at Cu Sith before snapping his fingers together in sudden realization, "Now I remember where you saw Audri before! Back in her mind when we had to watch over 'the corpse' and she went off with her lovely peacock when we found her and the other blonde k-"
Audri slapped her hand over Xander's mouth as her face became redder by the second, "We're never speaking of that EVER again!"

 

"Oh, calm down Monty. Geeze, can you be any more sensitive about things?" Audri said jokingly as Xander looked over at the blonde with a smirk on his face, "Like you're one to talk little 'Miss Hatter'." Audri just looked over at Scarlett before gesturing over to the Nobody, "Can I kick his ass?"
"No, mostly because I know you'd probably go for the face," Scarlett said crossing her arms as Xander sweatdropped before shuffling away from Audri as quickly as he could.

"Right-o! So, is there a type of process we have to go through to get this Master Aftificer to help us then?" Audri asked ignoring Xander's following antics.
