[handpuppeeet.livejournal.com]

Characters: Ankh and eeeveeerybooody~
Setting: Room 2-10; First Floor Kitchen
Format: Have prose, will match
Summary: Ankh wakes up and he is pissed. Off. The best way to rectify this is with ice cream.
Warnings: Rampant jerkishness and insults and maybe a few curses. Also possibly a floating arm.

Room 2-10

Ankh jerked awake on his bed. Wait on his bed? He didn't even have a bed. He was sweating. When had he fallen asleep? No, better question, why was he dreaming? That had never happened before.

He was panting heavily as he stumbled off the bed, glancing around a bit before stumbling towards his trunk, yanking a red satin drape from on top of it and shoving it open. Good. The medals were still there. Good. He shakily (he was shaking?) stumbled to the door, wrenching it open and peering out into the hallway. "What the hell is this...?!"

Kitchen

Whatever, this was nothing to worry about. There was more important things to deal with. For one he had to make sure none of the other Greeed were lurking around. And for second, this place was supposedly loaded with ice cream. And so Ankh marched down to the first floor for his secondary objective, inviting himself into the freezer and pulling out the closest popsicle with a grin.

Of, course when he went to eat it, he immediately gagged. "Damnit, what is this?!" Guess no one told him about the oatmeal rule.

Watch out, Ankh. Eiji's on the cusp of going into the final act of this Lifetime movie that passes for the relationship between you two. NO MORE MR. PASSIVE GIRLFRIENDHOBO.

"I don't remember any instance where you brought me out of it - just Hina, when I attacked Date..." His eyes turn to his open hand, then he closes it, looking at Ankh again. "I managed to get control of them?"

[handpuppeeet.livejournal.com]

And I thought Ankh was the high-maintenance girlfriend Bring it on Eiji, you caught Ankh on the bad end of a downward spiral and he's just looking for a reason to choke someone.

Ankh gave a light scoff. "Don't worry about that idiot; he'll be fine now," he said, looking away with a hint of disdain. Good riddance, if you ask him. "And don't be mistaken; like I told you then, I only did it because I still need you to get my core medals."

He looked back at Eiji with a slight nod. "Yeah, when you and Birth were fighting one of the doctor's Yummies."

[hoboherooo.livejournal.com]

This relationship is so complicated. Choke him now, and he's liable to dinosaur you to death, Ankh.

"The doctor...? Doctor Maki can make Yummies now?" Sorry Ankh, Eiji's rather behind in comparison to you. "Just...what all has happened?"

[handpuppeeet.livejournal.com]

That is their eternal status on Facebook It just might be worse the risk at this rate.

"Are you serious..?!" Ankh gave Eiji a weird look preceding a 'Tch' in annoyance. Was this idiot serious or was he just screwing with him? He gave another sigh in frustration. "Like I said, some friend of yours from high school invited us to his would-be theme park and his Yummy started kidnapping us. Turns out he was working with Cazali and my imposter." A slight scoff.

"Hina won some stupid fashion show and Mezul and Gamel came back and started working with Cazali and the others." Blatantly leaving out that Shingo actually woke up on his own? Of course not. "Then Date pretend to join the doctor and the other Greeeds. When he got injured, Gotou took over for Birth, and Date left. After that I last remember being at the restaurant."

[hoboherooo.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes it is.

Eiji listens, his face growing more and more confused, and looking rather distraught over the fact that somehow he was involved in these things, but wasn't there. ONORE DEKAIDO

"I... None of those things happened to me, but you say I was there. This doesn't make any sense..."

[handpuppeeet.livejournal.com]

"Maybe you bumped your head on the way over to this place," He suggested, looking away with disinterest. Yeah, Ankh didn't seem nearly as bothered by the fact that there seemed to be a memory gap than he should've been.

"Doesn't matter," he scoffed. "If you want to figure it out, hunt down the idiots that are in charge of this place."

[comboherooo.livejournal.com]

Eiji looked a bit put out by that accusation. "I'm not clumsy, Ankh." At least, he hopes he's not clumsy enough to do that.

"Perhaps now I can, since you're here. Having those other medals on-hand will be helpful."

[handpuppeeet.livejournal.com]

At Eiji's refutation, Ankh just gave him a look and a half-sarcastic laugh. He'd believe him when the idiot wasn't constantly losing the core medals to the other Greeed.

"Luckily for you I've got enough for RaToraTah, SaGouZou, and ShaUTa, plus Hawk, Peacock and Grasshopper," he said, going down the mental list of the medals in the case. "But don't think this means I'll just be passing you medals whenever you damn want. We've got to be more careful around here if you get too worn out. Plus, as of right now we can't get anymore Cell Medals without the other Greeed."

[hoboherooo.livejournal.com]

Hey, combat clumsiness and general life clumsiness are totally different! You try being a hobo hippie thrust into a war over magic coins and see how you do.

That's a fair bit of medals to have around - which is good. Yet, of course, Ankh is being stingy with them. It wouldn't hurt to ask, though - "I don't suppose you'd let me keep a set on hand. Since there's no other Greeed here, the danger isn't Yummies, so you won't be able to sense it if there's trouble..."

[handpuppeeet.livejournal.com]

Ankh had a few days of being a hobo already, and frankly wasn't too fond of it. Why do you think he's had enough patience to not kill Chiyoko yet?

"Tch, forget it!" Ankh responded almost immediately. It was true that he wouldn't be able to sense any problems anymore, and that just pissed him off even more; if he handed over the TaToBa medals, not only did that mean leaving Eiji with one of his cores, it'd also mean he'd have even less control over the situation than he already did. And that was yet another thing that pissed him off. "I was able to bring two Hawk candroids here; you can use one of those if you get into trouble."

[hoboherooo.livejournal.com]

That was to be expected. Fine, Ankh, we'll play it your way for now.

Eiji lets out a sigh, then gives Ankh his usual goofy grin. "Ahh, you're lucky! I didn't get any candroids in my trunk."

[handpuppeeet.livejournal.com]

"Not even the ones Kougami gave you?" Man that was weird. C'mon Eiji, what's the point of getting you free candroids if you leave them behind? "Whatever. I ended up with a Peacock, an Eel, and some Octopi. Use them as much as you need so you don't go crazy again."

[hoboherooo.livejournal.com]

OH GOD NOT THE SNAKE CAN AGAIN

"No, the only thing that wasn't my clothes was the Driver and a handful of Cell Medals..." Eiji sighed. "If I'd been in control of what was brought, I'd have included some."

[handpuppeeet.livejournal.com]

IT'S JUST AN EEL, DINGUS

"Figures." Just what they needed, life to be more difficult! Perhaps he should've appreciated his luck that he got the candroids. Although Ankh did perk up a bit, oddly enough.

"Cell Medals?" He thought for a moment, and then, "Give them to me. You won't need them with the RideVendors gone."

[hoboherooo.livejournal.com]

THAT'S WINGUS, PUNK--WAIT THIS IS GETTING TOO SILLY

"Ah, alright - though we'll have to go back to the dorms." Eiji grins awkwardly. "Since there's no RideVendors, like you said, I wasn't carrying them with me."

[handpuppeeet.livejournal.com]

IT CAN'T BE TOO SILLY, WE HAVEN'T MADE A CAKEBOSS JOKE YET

Ankh wasn't surprised by this, but that doesn't mean he wasn't going to scowl about it. "Fine. As long as I don't have to deal with whatever idiots you're rooming with." He didn't even want to deal with his own rommates.

[hoboherooo.livejournal.com]

Well, given how much they've been avoiding Eiji over a bit of a misunderstanding... "I don't think that'll be a problem."

[handpuppeeet.livejournal.com]

"Oh?" Ankh's roommates sure seemed to lurk around a lot, so why wouldn't the guy who actually liked talking to people have his roommates around?

It took him a moment of thought, but he put one and two together and quirked his head a bit at Eiji. "Ah; they were the ones you ended up attacking when you went berserk, weren't they?" Hey, at least he didn't sound amused by it.

[comboherooo.livejournal.com]

At least there was that, though it's a bit unsettling that he dug the answer up so quickly. "Yeah..." He sighed. "I haven't even gotten a chance to apologize or explain yet - they're avoiding me."

[handpuppeeet.livejournal.com]

He's been spending enough time with this derpy hobo to know how he ticks, fortunately or unfortunately.

Ankh let out a half-hearted laugh, moreso out of the ridiculousness of this situation than amusement. "Figures. Whatever, just deal with it so it doesn't screw us over in the long run."

[comboherooo.livejournal.com]

"R-right." Eiji sighs, then motions at the door. "Let's go get those cell medals, then, no sense in wasting time."
