"I have no arguments with food.". He said, as he sheathed his blade and started to pick up a wolver whose body was relatively intact. He then turned his attention to the splatter of blood that replaced a wolver. "Anyone know what happened?"

Skinning his fifth wolver, obviously frustrated, Armori said,

"Well it better return my damn bayonet."

He stabbed the carcass aimlessly a few times, and then answered Leo

"It probably is. If it's eating wolvers though, it's obviously not going to bother us yet. I'd sleep under iron if I could tonight though."

Armori shook his head at Koutetsu. He knew he hadn't actually been through an encounter with the creature, and so had no right to judge, after all the thing might make him wet himself, but at this point it was hard not to think of Koutetsu as at least a little soft.

"When do you think Pod Boy, I mean Dice-dude here, is gonna wake up? No screw that, how do you think he got here?" He asked Leo and Koutetsu.

After salvaging all the Wolver pelt and meat he could, he set off towards Lann and the elevator, and off to Moorcroft Manor again. Armori murmured,

"I still hope his hair turns white again."

Leo followed without a word, the kid was not heavy, but he was a bit cumbersome. He joined the others and waited, hoping this kid would wake up soon so he wouldn't have to carry him.

((There you are.))

Lann had smashed the elevator button, and they started descending. As they got further down, Koutetsu's small stare at the wolver meat became a little more obvious as they went.

"Huh? Oh, sorry. I haven't had a decent meal in weeks." Koutetsu said, javerting his gaze away from the meat. Not distracted now, Koutetsu began to tire from the time, as it was probably somewhere around midnight.

Koutetsu, overjoyed, gladly took the meat from Armori. "Thanks a ton!". He said. Koutetsu was finally happy to have a decent streak of luck going for him. He had a vitapod, some food, and now a group. "Here, let me hold him.". He said, as he walked over to Leo and took the load off his shoulders.

((For simplistics sake, yes the knights speak the same language.))

"As long as it takes this kid to calm down."

Leo raised his hands up at the dice-kid's hollering, "Hey! Hey! Calm down, we're not trying to steal your dice. Or hurt you, if you care about that. However that guy over-" he glanced at Armori, "There. May hurt you if you keep annoying him."

After Armori had carried the dice like a good sport, the kid just snatched it up and started yelling at him.Inwardly, Armori cursed. What would he want with a bag of dice anyway? He fought people for money, he didn't gamble.

Leo had said something, but Armori hadn't heard it in his annoyance with the kid. He was bloody hysterical, yelling a load of nonsensical stuff at them. At least his hair was white again. He had some weird armor too.

((@Colray- You said Armerio again dwl))

Armori took the liberty of replying to the kid's question.

"Technically we can't COME in peace. We were already here. But, in any case, we are peaceful. We took you so you could have shelter and food, I even gathered your dice for you. But, if you don't CALM DOWN, I will hurt you. My headaches are triggered by the smallest disturbance, and as you can see, we're in an enclosed space. If I get too annoyed, there's no telling what I might do," Armori said maliciously, a manic glint in his eyes. He drew his bayonet to prove his point.

"We should be asking the questions. Who are you? Where are you from? What is your objective? And why were you in a space pod?"

He took out another bayonet and began sharpening his blades.

Sorry I kinda have to drop this RP cuz I have too many RPs im involved in

Leo looked at Armori, "This kid's father did what now?"

He looked dubiously at the sleeping kid.

"I vote we dump the kid at Moorcroft. Seems more of a burden than a help."

He knelt down and picked up the dice that the kid rolled to nakje himself go back to sleep.

"Whoever heard of magic dice?"

Several thin, bony hands suddenly appeared from the depths below and grabbed at the edges of his suit. They tugged madly at him, seeming to strive to yank him into the abyss.

"Apparently the kid's father blew up a planet. Or whatever "Earth" is at any rate, it's a horrible name for a planet. Why name a planet after the dirt you walk on?" Armori ranted to Leo.

Then, Koutetsu had mentioned keeping track of the dice that controlled the kid, and before Armori could even agree with the idea, he seemingly lost his balance and almost fell out of the elevator. ((From Armori's point of view.))
What Armori couldn't understand is why he was yelling for help. Sure it was possible to fall out of the elevator and die, it had happened to a couple people he had travelled with before, but if he was to fall out, he'd have fallen already.

*And his cursing won't *&^**&# change that,* Armori thought grumpily.

Then Lann attached a knife to his staff and hit some unseen thing behind Koutetsu, a creature shrieked out angrily, and a flicker of surprise crossed Armori's features. But, as the danger had been seen off, he asked Koutetsu,

"Why do all these creatures want you so badly?"

Armori didn't even help Koutetsu up, but fell to the floor of the elevator himself, shaking with laughter.

"Fail on so many levels, man. They must think you like them too, after all, if you can be head over heels for the elevator, why wouldn't they think they're your type?!"

Then, he composed himself.

"When the HECK do we get to the Manor? I can't remember any elevator ride this long!" he grumbled.

"Ha. Ha. Ha.". Koutetsu sarcastically laughed at the joke. "But you are right, it is taking far too long for this. Maybe some system got busted or toyed with."

Armori looked at the sleeping kid, and suddenly realized how sleepy he was himself. It had been a couple days since he slept, he was running on mist and fumes basically.

But a curious light caught his line of sight. Jolted awake, Armori stared in a dazed fright.

"Could that be coming from the thing that tried to grab you?" he murmured, his body from the mouth down still asleep.

*Why didn't he answer me?* Armori wondered. He was tired of being ignored. Twice in a day was two too many times. The slight irritation woke up the rest of him, and he looked around, hoping to smack Koutetsu in the head for his insolence.

*After I gave him Wolver steaks,* Armori sulked.

Armori looked around, stupefied. How had he disappeared like that? Presumably, he went to the light, but how did Armori know that the light wasn't some deathtrap masquerading as somewhere appealing?

Armori tentatively put his left foot over the elevator rail, ((it was now moving a few millimeters every minute)), with his right foot firmly planted in the elevator. His left hand was wrapped around a bayonet, while the right had a deathgrip on the elevator rail.

Armori bumped into the elevator rail and woke up. The light wasn't real after all. He had been sleepwalking. Dangerous, yes, to be sleepwalking on an elevator, but, at least he didn't have to be subjected to the weird dream anymore.

He looked around, expecting to see Koutetsu.

"The things took him!" Armori exclaimed.

But Armori didn't know what attacked Koutetsu at first so he had no idea what to do next. Obviously the thing was below the elevator. He motioned to Lann and Leo, just checking if they weren't figments of his imagination too, and then peered down the elevator shaft.

Leo blinked awake, "who? What?"

He noticed an absence of Koutetsu, "wait- what? Where could he have gone?"

Leo put one hand on his sword and peered upwards, trying to see anything.

Leo spotted something, and pointed to the rails, some stuff was on the rails.

"Armori, you know what this stuff is?"

He looked around and reached towards the black substance. His hand wavered, and he stopped himself.

"Did someone screw with the lift?"

((Ah ha! I didn't screw up Armori this time!))

Koutetsu had been awake while everyone had slept. As an insomniac, he was jealous of the sleeping others he saw before him. He sighed again, as he had done many times. He set the bag of wolver Armori had given him down. Shortly after that, he had his mouth quickly suppressed by a hand and the rest of him grabbed. From his tiredness and the sudden movement, he became disoriented and had no idea whether he was moving up or down.

((What happened while the others slept.))

((Bump. Don't like it when this goes almost a day without a post. Colray and Thin, if you managed to find time in your probably busy lives, please make a post, even if it is short.))
