He was so focused on clearing out the Other that he forgot to snag any himself, and with the way things were shaping up, his brand of endearing acrobatics and psy-abilities might end up falling short. There were these ones that exploded, and Raz was pretty sure that could be a fastpass to the fabled [i]head explosion[/i] power! For, you know, safety. As he held the spirit in his hands, ready to fuse with it, his head jerked to the side. [color=FF8c00]"Whuh!"[/color] It happened again, then again, and on the fourth time, the source of it revealed itself: the head of Ford Cruller. He popped out the side of Raz's head. [color=9ACD32]"Hold it, now jus' hold it!"[/color] Ford shouted, needing to shake himself to get reoriented. [color=FF8c00]"Ford?!"[/color] [color=9ACD32]"Yeah I know, been a while since we seen each other. Maybe if yer head wasn't so [i]empty[/i] I'd be gettin' out here faster!"[/color] [color=FF8c00]"Heeey!... that's not nice."[/color] [color=9ACD32]"Razputin, whatever idea you had that you were about t'do, it was a really, [i]really[/i] bad one."[/color] The disembodied head of Ford gestured towards the spirit in Raz's hands. [color=9ACD32]"[i]That[/i] thing's givin' out some major mental juju. The kind y'wanna [i]avoid[/i], you see."[/color] Raz looked down at the spirit, a little dejected. [color=FF8c00]"Aww man, was really hoping it was something cool and, uh, not bad."[/color] No point in letting it got to waste tho. Raz stashed it. [color=FF8c00]"Say, Agent Cruller, since you're here and all we should really touch base. Brief and debrief. There's been a [i]lot[/i] going on here, I even met this world's version of the Psychonauts, and- hang on, where are [i]you[/i] exactly?"[/color] Ford didn't say anything for a moment, staring off into the distance, before springing back to life. [color=9ACD32]"Ope, sorry there, Razputin, but this was more a don't-blow-yerself-up check. Gotta be gettin' back to, uhh, important psychic stuff, old man mumblin'. As much of a distant hope this is, don't be doin' anything stupid while I'm gone!"[/color] And just as quick as he showed up, Ford pulled himself back into Raz's head before Raz could even utter half a word. [color=FF8c00]"Huh. Kinda weird."[/color] Putting that into a folder for later, Raz fell in line with the rest as the crew headed out once more. ...and soon enough (relatively speaking) everyone managed their way into Sector Six. Seeing that they teleported into a restroom, Raz piped up, [color=FF8c00]"oh, uh, gimme a sec,"[/color] before ducking into one of the stalls. Back when he made the excuse of using the restroom to sneak out of Psych-OSF that morning, he actually really had to go, but things just got too out of hand after that to really... go. With it taken care of Raz stepped out into the city proper, once again in awe at the sight of the world. [color=FF8c00]"Geez, and all of this isn't Visions? Pretty impressive."[/color] He fell in with the others discussing how to get across the water, watching Sakura go ahead with her own, bold, simple plan. [color=FF8c00]"If it's any help I [i]do[/i] have my Oarsman patch,"[/color] Raz offered, [color=FF8c00]"so if we managed to get a boat I can sail everyone across. Iiii'd really rather not swim if I can help it."[/color] Once a lull formed, Raz cleared his throat, hoping to get everyone's attention. [color=FF8c00]"So... there's a company called Cyberlife here, right? That sounds an awful lot like [i]Supernatural[/i] Life, the place that..."[/color] He glanced around and lowered his voice. [color=FF8c00]"That those soldiers who took Peach use as a hideout. And so far this place doesn't seem to have a lot of coincidences. Do you think they'd be related somehow? If we can find where Supernatural Life is, maybe we can trace it back to wherever they took her and the other Others?"[/color] Raz balled up his fists close to his chest. [color=FF8c00]"I know that if I can get close to her again I can help change her back! Some... way."[/color][hr][center][color=FF8c00]704 Words +1 EXP[/color][/center]
