[color=pink]"Cookieee!"[/color] Mary screamed out as she saw him burst into the room of someone else, and saw that it was Shaun, who snatched his teddy bear before also running in. Mary was so shocked by this sudden turn of events that she didn't realize she was still running straight for the door. She attempted to stop, but her heels simply skidded across the floor, and with a resounding thud she collided with the door. [color=pink]"Owww..."[/color] She groaned as she touched her forehead, and found that she managed to hit face first: her bumpers absorbed most of the impact, but now she was sore all over. [color=pink]"Oh Cookie...Such a shy little boy..."[/color] She hummed to herself as she picked herself up. [color=pink]"I guess I'll have to catch you next time, then~"[/color] Then she thought: [color=pink][i]But I wonder...Are him and Sho-Sho friends? Hmm, this could be troublesome...Nah. Sho-Sho's not gonna be any trouble, that's for sure~[/i][/color] She went closer to the door and loudly declared: [color=pink]"No need to be scared Cookie... MaryPie just wanted a huggywuggy! I'll see you later~"[/color] Having said that, Mary left the area, walking back towards the break room and find someone else to 'befriend'. [hr] Mondatta took a glance around the room once he entered the room, glancing at the various trophies. [color=gray]"I appreciate your offering of [i]prajna[/i], or wisdom, but that is not why I am here. I don't see any reason for you to stay in here; such cowardly behavior is not what I imagined of the man of a countless victories. If you choose to stay, I will mend your spirit by reciting the Mahayana Sutras; a long session of prayer helps anyone who has become lost."[/color] “Is that what you think?' Davis grit his teeth, letting out a low growl that seemed to weaken over time. It eventually became a sigh with a tilt of his head. The once proud conqueror was looking between his feet. “I'm afraid most people view me as a coward. They say my talent is nothing more than manipulation. But enough about that.” When Davis lifted his head again, the anger in his face had left. “What do you mean you don't see a reason to stay in here? Shona told you right? I'm the reason everyone's in this mess.” The monk's eyelights blinked. [color=gray]"How is that so? Are you affiliated with the people who have captured us?"[/color] "I guess I should tell the full story to someone. It was during anger management...” Davis placed his hands on his hips. “One of the other infinites said I didn't have real talent. I was able to keep it in, but they kept hounding me, all of them. I was very angry when I left.” Another sigh escaped his lips. “I remember getting an unknown text, daring me to mess with the patients attending the anger management course. I just had to lower security so that I could go into their rooms. All I had to do was get the camera watching guys to leave the surveillance room. It was easy, I just got them some donuts and filled them with laxatives. Then I had a hot little number carry them in to them. It's a trick I've employed in the past, and it worked pretty good this time too. I was able to lift the surveillance room keys off of them as they came out to do their business.” Davis momentarily smiled, but it faded as he continued recounting the event. “With them gone, and the recording devices turned off, I knew I was free to do as I pleased. I didn't know what I was going to do yet, but I was walking towards their rooms. Those infinites were going to pay for mocking me. I don't even think it was five minutes before a smoke bomb was thrown at me. I remember it hitting me in the back. When I turned around the hallway was filling up with smoke. There were some punks with gas masks on.” Davis shuddered. “I know it was me. They sent me that text to get me to lower security just long enough for them to take over. And you know what the funny part is? Those other infinites that were arguing with me aren't here. I bet they set me up right from the start!” Davis lowered his head again. "But I was still an instrument in all this. Not really a good position to be in during a 'killing game' is it?" Mondatta continued standing still, and simply sighed at the reveal that would have shocked any other person. He clasped his hands together, and then said: [color=gray]"That does explain how a renowned place of restoration such as this one was turned into a mockery of it's true purpose."[/color] He moved closer and placed his hand over his shoulder. [color=gray]"You are not to blame for this, as you did not know this would happen. I am grateful you confessed of your [i]"karma"[/i], and in return I won't speak a word of it to anyone else; building trust is the first step on the path of unity. However, I encourage you to not keep it a secret, and confess to the others as well."[/color] “W-what!?” Davis's eyes were as wide as saucers. “Are you bar. Fucking. Mad? I would kill me for this even if it didn't grant escape!” The conqueror stepped away from the monk and took hold of his own head. “W-why? Why tell anyone about this? I mean aside from the fact that Shona...” His hands fell to his sides. “Oh god, why did I tell her anything?” Davis shook his head. “A-anyway, wouldn't telling everyone just make them even angrier with me? Isn't keeping quiet more the monk thing to do because it keeps everyone at peace?” [color=gray]"True harmony comes from unity unclouded by lies and deceit."[/color] Mondatta turned towards the door. [color=gray]"You must choose your path on your own. Goodbye."[/color] The monk then left, the sound of heavy steps disappearing into the corridors. “Wha? Hey wait!” Davis dug into his pants pocket and pulled out the prayer beads. But before he could say anything, the monk had already left. “I had something, for... Well, shit!” The infinite conqueror promptly started getting dressed. Mondatta returned back to the break room with the palms of his hands together, quietly reciting a mantra that sounded like a curse due to his distorted, unnatural voice. He then stopped it, and put his hands to his sides, looking at Shona. [color=gray]"I just spoke with Mister Davis; he is currently searching for himself, but he should join with us in a short time. For now, I suggest we search this area, and share of our discoveries back here in the afternoon. If anyone wishes to join me, I would appreciate the company."[/color] With that said, he slowly, but surely, stepped forth towards the F1 Resort, picking the room labeled Study.
