Fifty-Five Coins--[Audio]

Who broke it this time?

[SOMEONE IS DISPLEASED. Mostly that the couch tried to bite her face off and interrupted her nap. Very displeasing.]

What happened to the safehouse that used to be here? People could go there when their chip was gone so this kind of thing didn't happen!

[Yeah, Flandre thinks this is yet more chip-removal shenanigans. She does this wrong conclusion thing a lot. And she's in a doubly cranky mood because she missed not!dad's birthday. And this is not a civilized hour for a somewhat-nocturnal creature to be awake at besides.

And the post is audio-only today because she's hiding under a blanket from the sun, with the rabbits huddled in little furry lumps under her wings. Not the most dignified picture.]

You think this is a chip thing? [ Poor Jack here wouldn't know. ]

Chips do all sorts of funny things. This seems just like one except I can't go in the hospital now, which is new.

[Disgruntled vampire is disgruntled.]

Yeah, they do, don't they? [ hmmmm. ] Maybe somebody who has psychic powers got theirs out.

Maybe. Or someone who puts teeth on things that are not supposed to have teeth.

Did any of them bite you?

Haha, yeah! That's a pretty useless power, though, right?

[ But after that, the feed switches to video- and Jack's pointing to a rather nice wound in his cheek. ] My doorknob got me. It's not too bad, though!

You should--oh.

[Pause.]

Well I guess you can't go to the hospital now...

Hey, I think I'll be alright! If I can find some bandages, I should be able to patch it up. I'm sure it'll be fine.

[At least when his chip removal went crazy and furniture started moving about on it's own.... none of it had TEETH]

I don't believe most people know what the safe house is anymore, Flandre-chan.

[WOW FLANDRE you're sounding like how Cube feels. He isn't sure what this is, but is definitively worried about his not!daughter]

...isn't it still there?

[Well, she won't be too hard to find. She kind of left a trail of splinters after she pried the rabbit cage open so they didn't get eaten by folding chairs.]

Last I checked, it was... H-however, with the way everything is, I'm not surprised if it's not safe right now.

[He'll follow the trail, then... not that it'll help too much as he is panicking.]

W-Where are you?

I'm outside, Cube. With a blanket, and the bunnies.

[The blanket's one of those typical vaguely fuzzy off-white ones you find in hospitals everywhere. Right now it is an emergency parasol.]

Ah!

[He found you, Flandre! A moment later he snaps his fingers and a giant red canopy appears over her, the rabbits, and the blanket.

He lands, sniffling a little as the cold has really gotten to him while he was flying around. He gives a small smile as he lifts one end of the blanket to peer under]

It's alright now, Flandre-chan. I put up the parasol.

[She had been just about to hiss a warning--but stops immediately when she sees who it is. Her face lights up instead.]

Cube!

[HI DAD]

I got the rabbits out! A chair trying to bite them.

[He pats her on the head]

I-I'm sorry I wasn't there to help.

[He looks at her a moment longer.... all the rabbits staring at him too. It's rather cute in his mind.]

I'm glad everyone is alright.

[And haven't ran away to bite people. He sniffles again, looking back at the hospital. All the things. ALL OF THEM. His ears droop just trying to imagine the mess that'll be left behind.]

I-I didn't get Eirin out...

[He stares at the building, thinking of the bamboo plant before remembering-]

Ah! W-Was there anyone else in there?!

[Flandre chirps, still happy.]

It's okay. Cube was busy.

[...oh. Um. About that.]

...I think so.

[Cube's face drops. He looks at Flandre, then back at the hospital. He's torn for a moment. Going back inside would be insane... but it wouldn't be the first time.

He can't seem to make up his mind, though that look in his eye, and his stance shows he's about ready to fly in there and try and find someone... and maybe get his plant back.]

Cube can go. [Flandre settles back under the parasol and closes her eyes.

...and another Flandre pops into existence right next to Cube.]

I'll go with Cube!

[Cube smiles a little, seeing Flandre taking a more cautious route-

Until a copy appears. Then the worry worms back into his stomach]

A-Alright. But you should stay close to me while we're in there.

We need to find anyone we can and help them out!

I will, Cube! I will!

[It'll probably be hard to get her off so he can use that arm.]

[Cube nods at her and then tugs her a little before rushing back into the horrors of the hospital. ALL FOR A BAMBOO-PLANT--- I mean for the sake of lives! ... yes.

This all seems like a GREAT IDEA,sort of, until the front doors themselves try to chomp down on the two. Cube takes a surprising leap backwards, and nearly tumbles.]

[In complete contrast to her not!father's understandable caution, Flandre lunges forwards, hissing and snapping her fangs together. She grabs onto one of the bars on the door and pulls and pulls until it tears loose at the hinges.

The teeth didn't seem quite so fearsome now.]

F-FLANDRE!!

[Cube's panic fades as he witnesses Flandre render the hospital's jaws completely useless. When he's able to stand, he hurries back over.]

F-Flandre-chan! A-Are you okay?

[And her rage subsides as quickly as it appeared. Flandre's quite cheerful again.]

Of course I am, Cube!

[See see no scratches!.]

Ah- o-of course. Flandre-chan... is quite strong.

[he tries to relax.]

Ah, I-I suppose Little Washu can put the door back after all this...

[He takes Flandre by the hand once more and hurries inside, where even more furniture nightmares await.]

P-Perhaps I should change forms. Being a dog might help find someone's scent... [But he'll also not be able to cast certain magics.]

[Someone seems mostly unconcerned with the situation.]

I'll keep watch if you do, Cube!

[...and possibly sit on his back like he was a pony instead of a dog.]

Edited 2012-02-07 05:46 (UTC)

Ah, t-then... I suppose it's for the best.

[em>Cube snaps his fingers, and in a small display of lights and sparkles, he turns into a small purple dog.]

Let's head for the stairs!

[And he darts that way, dodging some rolling cots and loose tables]

[Flandre lets go of Cube's hand when it starts to glow, blinking at the little motes of light. Then she smiles, and flutters up alongside instead.]

Okay, Cube!

[And she follows by his side without question, swatting at any furniture that comes too close.]

[Flandre is the best shield ever. Cube darts up the stairs but comes to a halt when he notices the floor littered with needles.]

Looks like we'll need to fly for a bit.

[And he backs up to get a running start and then takes off just over the floor. Somehow this looks really beautiful to me in my head... I probably am over thinking this.]

Oi, you okay? [ Because you know, furniture trying to eat everyone isn't very cool. ]

I'm fine and the rabbits are fine. But the hospital's not.

The furniture came alive there too, then?

Yes, they did.

I was sleeping! Why didn't they wait until I was awake?

Edited (...wtf laptop) 2012-01-29 00:10 (UTC)

They're jerks, that's why.

Can't you sleep outside?

[Grumble.]

The sun's outside.

You can't sleep in the sun...?

[ HMMM...... ]

OH! I got it--I'll make you a tent or something, so you can sleep in peace!

...those would be some scary teeth if they can get through bamboo

It's not a very big plant... or... maybe it is by now? /forgot how long he has had it

SAVE THE PLANT

WORST MISSION EVER (keywords are relevant kind-of)

There should be some ridiculous achievements for this

Will a blue ribbon count? /shot

And a gold star!

Cube really needs to make Flandre some kind of special treat or something for this. lmao

Daww daddy :3

<3

...Flandre stop reading minds and making me edit forever B|

LMAO I was amused with the HO typo. Cube =/= a ho.

Or a horse

Yeah, though the thought of that is amusing. /considers making his spell mess-up someday
