| Supa Dreamlander: Aw, you're thinking too much about this. I'm sure that belonged to some overzealous fighter that got canned. You heard about the "Missing Ones", right? I overhead Bandy Andy talk about one of the wonders of this place.. "Sometimes fighters disappear for no reason, never to return. Some say that the very first champion, Prince Mush, was spirited away in this way." I've got a response to that theory: Since it's up to Grubba to let us go, people just sneak their way away from this place when they're fed up. I'm sure one of the guys that left forgot that they had this stuff laying around. Maybe Jolene thought those papers was something that might influence others into doing something bad, y'know?
Kirby's eyes caught onto several figures walking past them. He sticks his head out of the room. Supa Dreamlander: Guys? It was Zap and Teddylot. Teddylot: Whuh oh! Busted! Supa Dreamlander: Eh? Zap: Nevermind him. He's just frustrated. Supa Dreamlander: Frustrated? Him? Zap: In his own way, I mean. 
Zap approached Kirby and handed Yami over. Supa Dreamlander: Yami! I hope you were being a good little boy while I was gone! Yami: Yoshi. 
Teddylot: I still think he should've been taken to the circus. Zap: And after almost going through with that deal... You've got some nerve, bear. Come on, let's get back to the locker room. Teddylot: But I don't wanna. That guy with the CREEPY EYES scare me. 
Zap grabs Teddylot by the scruff of his neck and carries him over to the major league locker room, which was just a few steps away. Meanwhile, Kirby was looking at Yami. Supa Dreamlander: A circus, eh? I'll have to remember to take you to one sometime. (edited by Kirbynite on 08-13-06 04:23 AM) |

| Fem: Unfortunately, I think Troy's correct on this. No offense, Supes, but you have a tendancy to be naive about these sort of things.
Jack: In any case, the information on those papers seems to be our biggest clue thusfar as to the location of the Star Stone, which is, as I should hope you remember, why we're here. Now that we know the stone on the champ's belt is a fake, we need to focus our energies on investigating this matter instead of fighting. |

| Supa Dreamlander: Of course, that's something that's not easy. We're not allowed to go into other locker rooms, and there're plenty of restricted areas. This place has some state of the art security systems.. Maybe the best thing we all can do is split up, again. Some people could be questioned, some things could be examined.. Rawk Hawk seems to be able to freely step into most places here, so being a champion might give you some rights... I guess I'll keep on fighting on my own..
Megaman.EXE: You've got mail! Supa Dreamlander: Or we can just wait for X to say something again. Megaman.EXE: You're.. not gonna like this message. Supa Dreamlander: Eh? Megaman.EXE: "Keep sticking your nose in where it doesn't belong and you are D-E-A-D M-E-A-T." This doesn't sound like X. Supa Dreamlander: Who the heck would send me this.. AND know my email? 
Megaman.EXE: You've been getting other mail too.. Supa Dreamlander: Eh? Megaman.EXE: Well, the messages are either too well encrypted.. or they're just cryptic. Supa Dreamlander: That doesn't even make sense. Right Yami-Yami? Makes no sense at all! Yami coos a bit as Kirby holds the baby yoshi high above him. Megaman.EXE: I don't understand either. But the latest message I got from the cryptic source seems to spell out something about a black wind. Supa Dreamlander: Huh... |

Jack: Enough with the "naive" Fem: It's just a fun word to say. |

Supa Dreamlander: Bleh. Megaman.EXE: Supa, you've got more mail! Supa Dreamlander: Again?! Kirby places Yami on his head as he pulls the PET out of his backpack. Supa Dreamlander: "gO 2 tHe TeLePhOnE bOoTh OuT oN tEh PaViLiOn. FrOm X" Hey, X came back. Looks like we don't have to sit back and wait. |

| Troy : People running away from this gong show is one thing, people vanishing from the face of the earth is another. As much as I'd love to eavesdrop some more, all this fighting and wrecking upholstery is sucking the energy out of me... I should be grabbing a nap now in case they decide to put me back in the ring ag...
Troy stepped aside as two guards carried a stretcher by, with the Spike Storm lakitu and its spinies lying in a heap on top. Troy : ...actually, I'm just sorta tired. I'll talk to you guys in a bit. |

| Supa Dreamlander: Alrighty, Troy, see ya later. Say "Bye bye" Yami!
Kirby waves Yami's tiny hand as Troy walks away. Supa Dreamlander: Well, let's get going, shall we? .... Uh.. By the way.. what's a pavilon? |

| Supa Dreamlander: Oh.. Well, that doesn't really say much. Then again, there're only three buildings on this island... And since pavi-lion sounds like a weird word, that would make the building a weird one... And thus.. The souvenier shop!
Kirby points at the nearest exit. Supa Dreamlander: Onward! .... er... Yeah.. Kirby's hand slowly moves down as he starts walking foward. |

Schweiz oder etwas [12:55] (Dr_Death16); I swear, the word drama needs to be stricken from the dictionary, for I've heard it so many times, it will permanently be imprinted on my brain  Since: 11-17-05 From: Kingston, Rhode Island Last post: 6300 days Last view: 6300 days |

| Grey: "I should mention: The souvenier shop isn't necessarily a pavilion. Aren't those supposed to be, you know, big tenty thingies that people put up when they're having large group parties? They're to give everyone a little extra shade. Of course the shade becomes somewhat of a moot point when the sun sets, since it's flashing horizontally into a tent that's standing up quite straight, yes."
He whips out a pocket dictionary from his vest and quickly looks up the word... "Huh, that's an interesting definition. Kinda reminds me of that period in my life where I was living in a town full of anthropomorphic animals and this one guy kept trying to solicit me to buy his crap. You think this shop is anything like his?" --------------- Sig plodded angrily away from the Minor League locker room, attempting to make his way to Jolene's office. Today had not been a very good day... Sig: "Darn it all! My shell's been busted, my fight got 'innerupted, an' I never even got ta know whetha or not I got me a rank! I ain't standin' fer this!" |

| Supa Dreamlander: Well, there was a Toad man in there.. And he kept wanting me to buy his stuff... So I guess so.
The sun's presence wasn't as intense anymore, meaning the evening was coming soon. Kirby's eyes wandered around, but there wasn't much to look at, as usual. Hoggle was selling a hot dog to the little bronze colored bob-omb that seemed to want everything in the world. Before Kirby had a chance to figure out how the young bob-omb was going to eat, his eyes' attention was caught by a shining object in the distance. Supa Dreamlander: What the... There's a key laying inside the phone booth.. Kirby speeds up his pace, making sure no one random civilian approaches the lone telephone booth. He crouches down to pick up the rather large key and stands up. Megaman.EXE: Kirby! You've got mail! It's from X again. Supa Dreamlander: That's faster than usual! Megaman.EXE: ... He's saying to go to the storage room next to Grubba's office. Supa Dreamlander: Making us walk kinda far... Well, since we're out here.. I bet you're hungry, Yami! I bet you are! Let's go get you some food! Yami: Yoshi!
Just as Kirby pockets the key, he feels the cold glare coming from Fem and Jack. Supa Dreamlander: Er.. um.. On second thought, maybe we'll continue with this little quest, mkay? Yami: Yoshi... v_v ------------------------------------------- Bandy Andy: Hey, Sig. What's shakin', my man? As usual, Bandy Andy was hanging out in the halls, trying to test out all the theories he could about the Seven Wonders of the Glitz Pit. Bandy Andy: Sorry about the shell, man... But that was an awesome fight. As soon as I got the chance, I told Jolene that I forfeit my rank to you and that Blazing Dynamo guy... So.. yeah, you all go up a rank. There's NO way I'm feeling like taking either of you on.... Oh... By the way.. I think Jolene went to the room with all the security equipment. If you had champ status, you could've just walked in there, heh. |

| Fem: I don't mind you grabing the guy a quick bite. Yoshis don't exactly take long to eat. I just find it strange that you're so complacent with wasting time on things like the fights when you were earlier growing increasingly annoyed with every minor delay keeping you from finding Schala.

| Supa Dreamlander: We'd never move forward if we didn't have fights to deal with! ... Er....
Kirby kept quiet for a moment. Supa Dreamlander: I'm sorry, Fem... You're right.. It is strange.. I've been feeling like something's been lit on fire inside of me, and I couldn't keep it quelled. I know, I've always known, that Schala's able to take care of herself when she's in trouble, but something inside me didn't let me believe it anymore. Ten hot dogs, please. Hoggle: Okay! Kirby swiped his Glitz Pit Account card through the card-reader at the hot dog stand. Supa Dreamlander: And all of a sudden, I felt like myself again.. Atleast I think I'm myself. |

| Jack put his hand on Kirby's shoulder.
Jack: Those feelings are natural, though, Kir- Supa Dreamlander... And great strength can come from them. Believe me, I know. You can't simply ignore them or wish them away... Nor should you want to. |

| Supa Dreamlander: Jack.. I tried to bite the machine Boo..er.. Lord Crump was driving. I know what you're trying to get at.. And you could be right, since I've been confused before.. I'm just kinda worried about this. I seriously feel like something was clawing away at me. Well, not anymore now...
Hoggle: Ten hot dogs, all done! Supa Dreamlander: Thank you very much. Kirby place Yami on his head before picking up the bag of hot dogs. He pulls out a hot dog for Yami and starts moving towards the Glitz Pit. Supa Dreamlander: You guys want some? |

| A worried look runs across Kirby's face. Of course, it's hard to see it thanks to the shades. He quickly hands Fem and Jack two hot dogs each. And while he was at it, he gave Grey one, too.
Supa Dreamlander: Just 'cause you guys are PC's doesn't mean you have to act like one.  ;
The Glitz Pit lobby was empty as usual. Supa Dreamlander: It makes me wonder how there could be so many people in the audience while no one outside or in the lobby... (edited by Kirbynite on 08-19-06 03:34 PM) |

| Sig: "Ah, dat's a shame, dere. I always figured 'dat if'n we were all fightin' without 'da restrictions 'dat Grubba puts on us, 'dere wouldn't be no way ta' figure out who's 'da best fighta', 'cause we'd all be kickin' each other's butts!"
He clapped his friend on what he assumed was the armless rat's shoulder, and crossed his arms across his now bare chest. "Da shell ain't no problem, seein' as how King's gone an' I ain't got no real reason ta' wear it anymore... Kinda makes a guy feel free, ya know? Sure do miss 'da bastid, though. So whatcha workin' on today, eh?" --------------- Grey balked at the hot dog, and took out a small card that said "Help!" on it. He flipped it over, glanced at a few words for a second, and nodded, taking a bite of delicious X Meat in his mouth. He swallowed, and approved. Grey: "Huh... It's a mystery. I guess Nameless NPCs only work in Hive Theory: They are Legion when needed and nowhere when not. Anyway, this sure is a hot dog. The hot dog is a staple of western society... Truth be told, hot dogs are not actually made out of dog. Well, not in this part of the world, anyway. They're made out of the by-products of the production of other meats from pigs, cows, and in more recent years, turkeys and chickens. I prefer mine cooked. They're.... not the best food for you, and people say they have some really gross organs in them that most people wouldn't eat, but I honestly don't have a problem with it. I figure, if you're eating a pig's legs and butt, why not eat the rest of it, too? Hot dogs are a great way to take care of the excess meats in animals that we use for food without worrying about wasting them. They're the cleanup food of the meat packing industry!" And with that, he took another delicious bite. |

| Bandy Andy: I gave up on trying to figure out the mystery of the Haunted Boudoir. Since I ain't a champ, I can't get in, y'know? But if the Champ's room is haunted, that would explain why Rawk Hawk and his cronies never stay inside the room... Ah.. Nevermind that.. Right now, I'm concentrating on the "Stairs of Mystery". They say.... there's a room in the Glitz Pit with a second floor but no stairs... They say... no one has ever gone upstairs.. And some say... that groaning voices sometimes come from that second floor...
----------------------- Supa Dreamlander: You know, Grey... You ramble on about random stuff like that... But yet... You don't point out the irony of a pig selling hot dogs to us.... Bleh, nevermind.. I think we're here.. Just past Grubba's office was a door with a very large lock. This was the same door Jolene was standing by when she was scolding a security guard. Kirby hesitated after handing Yami the last hot dog. Supa Dreamlander: ... I don't know if you guys noticed.. but all of the security cameras we've walked by were off. All of the cameras mounted in the halls did not have a red light, nor were they moving. (edited by Kirbynite on 08-20-06 01:16 AM) |

| Jack looked in the direction Kirby had indicated. He hadn't even noticed the cameras existed before Kirby mentioned them.
Jack: A security camera!? Fem ignored her father's foolishness. Fem: Whoever this X is, he must know what he's doing. Makes me wonder why he even needs us. |
