Re: Reaching Salvation: Post-Acer Part 5

"I really don't like people judging me," Zackary huffed, the winds dying down.

"I'm fine..." Victora responded to the man who had addressed her.

(~)

"Living under a rock, with but a worm and a a rock for company...and then the worm left," Neo answered in a joking tone.

[MrMissMrs Random]

"Elena..." Simon said weakly.

[quackers are yummylicious]

"Simon, don't be so whiny," Elena laughed. "You know you're my very best friend!"

Benji stared on uncomfortably, wondering if he could sneak away.

[MrMissMrs Random]

"You remind me everyday." Simon said with a smile.

[Stabberz]

Nathan raised an eyebrow. "If I were to choose to make something out of this, you'd die." He responded before looking at Victoria and smiling.

"We'll have a proper talk later."

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"Let me know when I can kick his sorry ass," Zackary said, trying to keep his emotions under control. "Seriously...just let me loose on this English bastard!"

"Alright!" Victoria said in a cheerful voice.

[quackers are yummylicious]

"Of course the worm left you, who would want to live with you?" Heidi teased.

---

Elena pushed herself to her feet, looking back and forth between Simon and Benji. "Y'know, if Heidi's both of your sisters, that makes you brothers," she pointed out.

"But I'm Heidi's brother, Simon's not," Benji pointed out, frowning. This girl seemed rather stupid.

---

Kira approached the group generally unnoticed. "Um..." she spoke up, unsure if she was interrupting something.

[Stabberz]

Nathan turned full circle to Zackary and smirked. "You can't beat me Zackary and I'm trying to keep things civil with this little village."

Sensing Kira he turned and frowned.

[Big Uri]

"He's got a knack of annoying people," Tom replied, putting a hand on Zackary's shoulder and making a 'really?' face at Nathan from behind him. Seemed like half his time was stopping fights.

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"Ouch, that hurt, I'm mortally wounded here now, Heidi!" Neo said, covering his heart with both hands. "...No seriously."

(~)

"That makes two people who will actually tick me off," Zackary muttered. "...Can I at least bring the Illuminati village down?"

[Stabberz]

Hearing the last part that Zackary had said brought an eyebrow raise from Eithne.

"If ya' tried that y'd die wind boy." He said calmly having noticed Nathan walk off to draw level with Kira..

[quackers are yummylicious]

"I-I'm s-s-sorry..." Kira mumbled, looking down at the ground. "I-I n-nee-need t-to speak w-with you, N-Nathan..."

---

Heidi laughed, pushing Neo playfully. "Go die, y' rotten thief."

[Big Uri]

"No," Tom replied, though he did smirk slightly behind his usually stoic expression. "Nathan believes he's stronger than everyone, as far as I know, so what he said there doesn't really reflect on you at all."

[Stabberz]

Nathan nodded, choosing to turn off any influence that empathy was having on him. "Let's go then then."

He turned to his Illuminati and grinned. "I'll meet you all at the village in a bit. I've got some stuff to take care off."

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"Eh, at least I'd have accomplished bringing down the village before I did," Zackary shrugged. "Aw, really Tom? It's just one village no one would really care about."

(~)

Neo grinned as he fell backwards, grabbing Heidi's wrist to pull her down with him. "Ya know, now I gotta throw you a awesome welcome back party, that everyone aactually cared about you could attend...and then those who didn't would get a rude awakening!~"

[quackers are yummylicious]

Heidi laughed when Neo pulled her to the ground. "Party? These damn stick in the mud villagers wouldn't like that very much. Let's do it."

---

Kira walked both away from the forest and the group, hoping Nathan's influence on Luke would be less if he was farther away. "Y-You're scaring L-Luke with y-your Flow l-like th-this..." she began, biting her lip. "I...I kn-know he said h-he didn't w-want y-you to h-heal him, b-but, if y-you could give m-me a cure, s-so I could give it t-to him... H-he's getting w-worse..." she whimpered.

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"I'll crank the music way up!~" Neo grinned from ear to ear.

[quackers are yummylicious]

"This is gonna be awesome," Heidi laughed, pushing herself to her feet.

[MrMissMrs Random]

"No alcohol!" Erika chatised in a joking tone at the two.

---

Simon frowned slightly. "We're not related, but I do think of Heidi as my sister. She's been taking care of me for a while now."

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"Naturally! I'm hosting it after all, and who else do you know that has 'Awesome' as a middle name?" Neo asked, rolling onto his back before pushing himself up onto his feet. "Should see some of the stuff I... 'Found' around the world. People really need to invest in new locks~"

"Awww! I thought you'd want to see me drunk!" Neo called back to Erika.

[quackers are yummylicious]

Benji examined Simon curiously, as if trying to discover any secrets he may have been hiding. "I was speaking on terms of blood, but sure. Whatever."

---

"The booze is the best part...!" Heidi whined.

[Book the Hero]

...We have alcohol?

Joey was silent as he stood there with his wife, watching as the two talked.

[Ra The BlazeWingPhoenix]

"I'll raid the storeroom and grab it~" Neo then said, grinning again. "We're legal now!"

[MrMissMrs Random]

"Well, since your staying here now, want to show you where we live?" Simon asked.

---

"I don't think you two can afford to lose anymore brain cells." Erika deadpanned. Plus I won't be drinking for quite a while...

[quackers are yummylicious]

"Alright..." Benji nodded.

Elena grabbed Simon's hand, marching back to Erika's house. "Let's go, I'm sleepy!"

---

"I'm not that stupid," Heidi laughed.
