Facing Up To The Fact

[of_many_treasures]

Hey. Community.

I'm going back home again. This time, Tsukasa's arrived in my homeworld.

I know everyone's worried, so I'll keep this short: I'm going to save my brother, and kill Fourteen.

Anyone who wants to kill a monster masquerading as a man is welcome to join me.

This is my only offer.

Make it count.

Are you sure it's a good idea?

[of_many_treasures]

Its the only way to solve this issue. This power wasn't meant for fighting certain people, only to defeat Fourteen.

[fearleads]

He can't be reasoned with, can he?

[of_many_treasures]

Nope. Tried it a long time ago. He simply dismissed my concerns. He enslaved my world, my people, my brother.

I'm going there to end him. Permanently.

[fearleads]

I don't know what I can say. Of corpse I don't approve of actually killing people, but if it makes things better...

[of_many_treasures]

It comes with the territory. Sadly, there's little I can do. Listening to reason isn't his style.

[fightbymoonlight]

I'm coming along, of course.

[of_many_treasures]

I expected as much. You probably wouldn't let me go without good reason anyhow.

[fightbymoonlight]

Obviously. After the last time you went there, there was no way I would allow you to go without me. Someone needs to make sure you don't do anything stupid, right?

[of_many_treasures]

Yeah, well, last time was a bad situation. It was premature at best.

And you know I do ridiculous things all the time, right?

[fightbymoonlight]

There's a fine line between 'ridiculous' and 'stupid'. I'm going to make sure you don't cross from the former into the latter.

[of_many_treasures]

Right, right. [You'd think he'd learn, but Yuri's boyfriend was a stubborn one.] I'll let you know when I'm ready to go.

[fightbymoonlight]

[It's a good thing that Yuri is very patient. You pretty much have to be to survive Erika. She can handle a stubborn boyfriend.]

Alright. I'll make sure that I'm ready as well. I'll be waiting.

[of_many_treasures]

All right. I've got some time before Tsukasa gets into more serious trouble, so I'll have to make certain he won't get in over his head before we get there.

I might as well, since Lamba!mun hasn't called back yet

[alldevouringabomination]

[What's this? A monster has kidnapped someone, and Kaitou needs help fighting him? Kirby isn't jaded or suspicious enough not to help this person.

Kirby jumps up and down, a picture of him and Kaitou standing back to back on the video feed.]

ah

[of_many_treasures]

[Kaitou gives him a look.] I think this is out of your league, puffball. I'm not going to rescue someone, I'm going to KILL someone.

yup.

[alldevouringabomination]

[This wouldn't be the first time Kirby's been underestimated. However, Kaitou's remark catches Kirby off guard.

This guy probably doesn't know that much about Kirby, if he thinks that Kirby isn't capable of destroying bad guys. Let's face it, Kirby'd be Pop Star's hugest hypocrite if he had problems with other people doing What They Needed To Do.

Kirby tilts his head at Kaitou, as if to say, "But you said this someone was a bad guy."]

(OOC: Is Kaitou objecting because he thinks that Kirby is innocent, or because he thinks that Kirby is too weak to face Fourteen?]

Re: yup.

[of_many_treasures]

This is sort of a personal issue. I don't want to drag too many people into it, but I'm giving people a heads up in case I don't come back alive.

[Serious Kaitou is serious.]

Really though, if you do want to come, don't get in my way. I'm willing to do a lot of things to get to Fourteen.

(ooc: more like he'd rather not get too many people involved but he feels obliged to give a heads up.)

[alldevouringabomination]

[It's personal? But you just said that anyone can join you. Kaitou, why the mixed signals?

Kirby reluctantly nods, but it's clear that he is a tad worried.]

(OOC: I'll take a wild guess that Kaitou doesn't want any Big Damn Heroes stealing his thunder.)

[of_many_treasures]

[Kaitou's a huge jerk anyhow, and mostly just announced it for the hell of it. He sighs however at the whipped puppy look.]

If you come along, don't get in my way. There's a lot you don't know about Fourteen, and he will kill you if you make a big enough target of yourself.

(ooc: no, it's more complex than that. he doesn't care who kills Fourteen, only that he wants to be there when it happens.)

I made the post before your edit, and it's a bit messy. Oh dear. Well, no harm done, right?

[alldevouringabomination]

[Oh please, Kirby's beaten cosmic horrors. He's no stranger to combat, Kaitou, he can take care of himself.

Kirby nods, however. He's not arrogant - he'll listen to what you have to say about this Fourteen and his capabilities.]

(OOC: Aha. Kirby won't intentionally killsteal, but I suspect that Kaitou doesn't know that much about Kirby, does he?)

[of_many_treasures]

Fine. Just don't get in anyone's way, and make sure you come prepared. I'll be picking everyone up in a half an hour.

(ooc: nothing at all.)

[alldevouringabomination]

[Kirby nods! He won't get in your way, Kaitou. He'll just bring some handy items that grant Copy Abilities, as well as healing food.]

(OOC: This is going to be great! >:) I can't wait to see the reactions!)

[of_many_treasures]

[Kaitou really hopes he's not making a mistake.]

(ooc: there's no fight thread btw. It's all handwaved.)

[alldevouringabomination]

[Chances are he isn't.]

(OOC: Oh, I see. Very well then, Kirby has at least helped someone in need.)
