| Grey: "Pro-fighting? Ahhh..."
He shuddered at the thought. He wasn't too much a fan of the battles, they were. So far he'd managed to hide all the time thus far, but somehow he got the feeling he was being dragged into something he just couldn't handle. "You don't mean the kind with the throwing fists or the kicks to the groin or the rubber mats or the hairy men in spandex, do you?" |

| Kirby: That's Pro-Wrestling. I'm talking about Pro-Fighting, where anything goes. Boxing styles, martial art styles, anything to make the crowd go wild.
Kirby made his way out of the sewers, via the Warp Pipe up to Rogueport. He takes out a brochure of Rogueport, and looks around. Kirby: A blimp, eh? I think I found where it is... But what's up with this Pianta's mug? Heck, what's a Pianta doing here? I thought they're living in Isle Delfino. You know.. an island that's a thousand times cleaner than this island.  |

| Fem: People immigrate, Kirb. You know that as much as anyone. Guy probably got sick of the stupid tropical paradise theme. | |||

| Kirby: ... Well, yeah, people do immigrate.. I dunno.. Just figured for a species that has tropical looking flora on their heads.... Ah, well, who cares.
Kirby looked around. To get to the blimp, they had to walk past the town center, over to the west side of town, in which they already did. Kirby: Okay.. wow. This district is a lot cleaner than the other side. Imma gonna have to take back what I said. The surroundings did look a lot better than before. The buildings were still brick and mortar, but there was no grime, no graffiti, and no decay. There was a beautiful park to Kirby's left, which was a tiny bit south. He noticed a tough looking goomba was snoozing in a flower bed... Further ahead seemed to be the commercial area. He could see a store and... a casino right next to the store. He also saw a ghostly female Boo with kitty ears hovering to the casino. Kirby: .... I honestly hope we didn't walk into the red light district  ;(edited by Brixikyent on 05-26-06 02:15 PM) |

| Fem: Come to think of it, I seem to remember hearing some of the locals talking very much under their breaths about a Pianta... A Don Pianta... Though they mostly called him "the boss"
Jack notices a nearby poster with a blimp on it... Pianta Airlines! The only air transportation system in the area, and owned by our very own Don Pianta! Only the most privileged and... favored need apply. Fem: So it l guess we need to talk to this Pianta guy. |

| Kirby: Ugh, if that's how it works, we can't even bribe the pilot. Argh, this is just more time wasted.
Kirby ruffled his hair out of irritation. One more delay between him and Schala. Kirby: Yeah, I definitely see how a Pianta would wanna live here, now. Joik.
Kirby lifts his head up and looks around at the people walking about. He took in a deep breath, and, ignoring common sense, he yelled out.. Kirby: Hey! Does anyone know where we can find this Don Pianta fella?! Anyone nearby quickly walked away from the group, while others tried their best to pretend like they didn't hear anything. Kirby: ...

| Fem: ... Baka. *points to the sign over the casino* "Pianta Parlor" ... However, bursting into a casino and asking to see the boss isn't the best of ideas. I suggest we try the adjoining shop first. | |||

| Kirby: Oh.. Right.
Kirby shrugs a bit and starts to walk towards the store. Upon entering, he notices a female Boo, with kitty ears on. A sweatdrop rolls down the back of his head until he notices certain items being displayed. Kirby: Hey! Kirby rushes up to the items, picking up a Dried 'Shroom, and a Dizzy Dial. Kirby: I've got an alchemy potion that needs the attributes of these items. Hey, lady, I'd like to buy these. |

| Grey: "Alchemy? You do that stuff?"
He eyes the Dial and Shroom suspiciously. It didn't look like the kind of stuff he dealt with, at all... "I dabble in it, myself. But why would you need stuff like that? You can just pick from the local flora and occasional fauna if you're so desperate for ingredients. A lot easier than, uh..." He looks, well, straight throught he Boo, and raises an eyebrow in confusion. "Buying... it... from a ghost...? Or use a transmutation circle. Alchemy's gotten a lot more advanced than just Wax + Oil^2 = Flash in recent years. Join the new wave!" |

| Kirby: Items that're already mixed means less stuff for me to carry. Besides, there's no art with Transmutation Circles. It's all just flashy, alteration magic. | |||

| Fem: Enough of that stuff. *turns to the boo* We're looking to arrange a meeting with Don Pianta-
The boo (Peeka): Ah, this way, please. She hit a button on the bottom of the counter, and a door opened up behind her. Through it was a relatively thing corridor. At the end of it, two Piantas in black suits and ties guarded a door, and there was a small line of others waiting. Darker skinned Pianta (Jules): Stop! He who would cross this corridor must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see. Person 1: Alright. Jules: *looks at the other Pianta* You want to go first? Other Pianta (Vincent): Sure. What... is your name? Person 1: Monty Tarantino. Jules: What... is your quest? Monty Tarantino: To speak with Don Pianta. Vincent: What... do they call a quarter pounder with cheese in France? Monty Tarantino: ... They don't call it a quarter pounder with cheese? Vincent: No. Vincent pushed a button on the wall and Monty Tarantino fell through a trap door that was immediately under him. The trap door then shut, and the next person moved onto it. Jules: He who would cross this corridor must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see. What... is your name? Person 2: Quentin Python. Vincent: What... is your quest? Quentin Python: To pitch my movie idea to Don Pianta so that he might fund it. Jules: What... is your favorite color? Quentin Python: Blue, no! Yellow! Er..! Vincent pushed the button again, and Quentin Python found the same fate as the others. Jules: Three questions. Answer them. Vincent: What is your quest? Person 3 (Brett): To a-apologize to Mr. Don Pianta about how our business dealings went so b-bad. Jules: What does Don Pianta look like? Brett: Wh-What? Jules: What country are you from? Brett: What? Jules: What ain't no country I ever heard of, they speak English in What? Brett: What? Jules: English, mother%@$#er, do you speak it!? Brett: Y-yes. Jules: Describe what Don Pianta looks like! Brett: What, I-? Jules reached across Vincent, and hovers his finger in front of the button. Jules: Say "what" again. Say "what" again! I dare you- I DOUBLE dare you, mother%@$#er! Say "what" one more time! Brett: He- He's a Pianta... Jules: Go on. Brett: He's got a mustache... Jules: Does he look like a &!#@%? Brett: What? Jules pressed the button. Vincent: Next! Fem: *steps up* Three questions, got it. Vincent: Name? Fem: FemDavis1186. Jules: Quest? Fem: To get tickets to Glitzville. Vincent: What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow? Fem: African or European? Vincent: *pulls out script* Huh, it doesn't say. *turns to Jules* Might as well let her in. Jules: Might as well let her whole group in. All these guys behind you with you? Fem: Yep. Vincent: *opens the door* (edited by A hat on 05-28-06 01:24 PM) |

((That thing was oversaturated with references  ))
Kirby kept his voice down when he walked past the Pianta duo. Kirby: I can't tell if those goons were nice, or they were joiks... I've suddenly got a crazy for a royale with cheese... (edited by Brixikyent on 05-28-06 01:23 PM) |

| OOC: Too... many.... references.....
Grey just double-taked once at the mention of the three questions, and popped some popcorn with a jet of fire from his fingertips. He munched on it as the exchange took place, and as he passed by the gatekeeper, he whispered something into his ear... Grey: "About 11 metres per second for a european. And before you try anything funny, Ashur, Calah, Dur Sharrukin, and Nineveh." He skipped along, taking out two halves of a coconut that he had found in the Boggly Tree and banging them together in a steady rhythm. |

| Kirby: ... They let us pass, we didn't need to say anything.. You know what, I don't want to know what happens.
Kirby quickly stepped inside the brick building that was at the end of the path. He looked around, and noticed the cushy arrangements in the room. The lighting was a bit dim, but still enough to see where to walk through. He noticed a Pianta with a mustache sitting in the back of the room. Kirby: You must be the person we're lookin' for. The Don: What's wid you, wise guy? I hope you have not come ta waste my time, if so, dis is gonna hurt. Kirby walked right up to the table, and slammed his hands on the Pianta's desk. Kirby: We need tickets for your blimp. The Don: Hah! The noive of this kid! It's makin' me laugh! (edited by Brixikyent on 05-29-06 11:05 PM) |

| The Don: Do youse know who I am? I'm Don Pianta! I make cryin' babies weep!
Kirby: ... Ahum.. The Don: *looks at Fem* Nah, I like this kid's gumption. *looks at Kirby* I gotta assume you got a reason for wantin' a ticket for da blimp. Out wid it! Kirby: My.. friend, Schala, was kidnapped, and I'm trying to find her. But the only clues we've got are just the Star Stones. The Don: Hm.. I don't care if dis fairy tale about da Star Stones and its treasure are real, but I tell ya.. I can't help but like a guy who wants to rescue some skirt he fell for. Kirby: I.. er.. No no, you misunderstand about Schala...
The Don: You want me ta change my mind? Kirby: No no no! Go right on ahead with your thinking!
The Don: ... Tell ya what. You do me a little... favor... an' you get your blimp tickets. Sounds fair, right? Kirby: .... what's the favor..? The Don: It's easy. It's nothin'. It's less dan nothin'. See, da thing is.. My own daughter.. eloped wit' one of my young... associates. Dey vanished.. but it wasn't too long ago dat dey did. Dey oughta still be nearby. You gotta find my daughter, Francesca, and dis.. Frankie... an' bring dem both here. If you are unable to bring dem here, then alls you gotta do is tell me where dey are. Then I shall settle dis matter quickly, an' wid what is known as extreme prejudice. Kirby: .... The Don: So it's settled, yeah? Find my daughter an' her... friend. Den come see me. Dey look like dis. The Pianta Mafia Boss holds up a picture of two Piantas. One's a yellow Pianta with a white dress, and the other is a blue Pianta with a white suit. Kirby: Classy folk. The Don: An' just so we're clear here... If you don't find my daughter, your luck may turn terrible... Kirby quirks a brow and starts walking towards the door. He's not too thrilled about the favor he was asked... (edited by Brixikyent on 06-02-06 07:51 PM) |

| Back outside...
Fem: Alright, let's get this over with. *pulls out her tricorder* Jack: How do you plan to find them with that? Fem: Satalite. Jack: Aha. Fem: Let's see... They probably haven't gone too far... Restrict the field to this portion of Europe... Searching for two Pianta life signs, one male, one female, in close proximity to each other, and.... They're at the port. Let's go. |

| Kirby: Well, that was simple enough.. But.. I'm not too sure if I wanna go through with this. I mean, I know I've been kinda obssessive over finding Schala, but I'm not sure if I'd wanna be the cause of two Piantas being whacked... | |||

| Grey: "You know, it's not necessarily a matter of them being whacked or not... Maybe it's to prevent an elope, or something?"
He placed his hand behind his head in a classic anime pose that belied his true action: Sending out a psychic ping for any of the life-signs that Jack had just mentioned. So far? Nothing. And that Tricorder was probably a few notches more effective than his own rusty powers. "...Or maybe he just wants to help them plan a wedding, if that's the case." He winked as he walked, in a completely nonsensical and clearly clueless way. |

| Jack: The dude wouldn't off his own daughter.... and something, likely the sidequesty nature of this sidequest, tells me that once he sees that the guy really and truely loves his daughter he'll have a change of heart and let them get married or whatever. |
