“Damn, we missed…” Stated An, dissapointed. “You mean I don’t get to do another PQ with you guys? OH NOES!” Said Jeuneau with obvious sarcasm before sprinting for his life across Kerning city, hoping to hide on one of the Sunset Sky construction site’s cranes. He thought of nothing but escape, running with all that he was, as if he could make the entire day disappear by running far enough. As he entered Sunset Sky, he was siezed by the ankles and brought to the ground, hard. Jeuneau looked back in abstract terror to find that Porkchop was clinging to him, “Hey boss! where ya going?” An and Suki began to catch up, he couldn’t be captured, not now, not here, not when escape was at hand! When he was taken down, his crossbow was thrown out of his reach, but a wandering orange mushroom meandered just close enough. Jeuneau snatched up this poor, unfortunate critter and proceeded to bludgeon the stupid out of Porkchop.

Sadly, as Jeuneau already knew, head trauma did not phase Porkchop. An caught up first and, panting, proceeded to scold Jeuneau, “What the hell was that for, little boy? You’re not ditching us now, we’re a team, whether you like it or not.” Jeuneau hurled the now-unconscious orange mushroom at An, missing badly. She shook her head in ominous disapproval and went to fetch Jeuneau’s crossbow. As she picked it up, Jeuneau cried out, “NOOO!! Mr. Vivisection!!! Ruuunn!! Don’t be a hero!!!” Anchiku paused momentarily, picked it up and then looked to Jeuneau, “Holy hell, you are cracked… Does being around porkchop really do that? …In any case, let him go Porks. I don’t think he’ll try anything.” Porkchop stood, as did Jeuneau. Jeuneau drew his beginner’s sword and said to An “You should give that back. I don’t think you know how to use that thing, little girl…” Anchiku grinned and produced a steel crossbow bolt from a pocket in the sleeve of her robe, quickly and deftly drew back the string of the crossbow and loaded it. Porkchop (unfortunately) spoke up “Hey! She’s faster than you, cap’n!” Jeuneau backhanded Porkchop “You’re not helping my situation, here!!”

Anchiku handed Jeuneau back his crossbow with a chuckle. “Try to work on your draw and load, a mage shouldn’t be anywhere near as deft with a crossbow as an archer himself.” He slung it over his back and placed the steel bolt in a seperate section of his pouch. “You’re a mean lady, you know that? And by the way, where the hell did you get that bolt?” “My robe, I carry many things, amazing things, frightening things, the likes of which you could never imagine, in there.” The following evil grin that danced across An’s face gave Jeuneau a slight chill “Hopefully we’ll never see the majority of it.” Anchiku started walking back toward Kerning city as she replied, “Don’t worry, theres plenty of things in my robe that you’ll never see.” She looked back with a smile to see Jeuneau blush indignantly. Just when Suki had caught up, he is forced to follow An back again, as is Porkchop, who pauses to say “Come on, cap’n! I think we’re gonna have tacos now!” Jeuneau begins to follow and says “What!? What the hell is wrong with you!?? Where do you get tacos from!?” Porkchop, marching giddily and without a care (or thought), replies “From a taco stand, silly!”
