| Kirby sighed and started walking east, as it seemed to be a town gate over there. He looked around the village to see if he can grasp the surroundings. The Murkrow in the trees seemed to have stopped talking in their own tounge and actually started saying "Caw" rather dully whenever Kirby was nearby.
Kirby: Aside from the jerky birds, Twilight Town doesn't look too bad.. "Momma, I'm hungry.." "Me too." "I want spaghetti and meatballs." Kirby saw three children and a woman walking standing outside a house. All but one of the kids had big eyes. The third child just seemed somewhat.. off compared to his siblings. Twilighter Mother: I told you, my children: We have nothing to eat. We must wait for your father to come back from the forest. "Aww" "Okay.." "Maybe he's a pig." Kirby looks at his group with a sweatdrop. Kirby: Hey.. you guys mind if we stop by the store?  ;(edited by Kirbynite on 10-13-06 10:38 PM) |

| MEL: Something tells me that stopping by the store will be a good idea. Chances are they'll stock Uncurses, which for some unknown reason can only be used by PCs and certain NPC's.
SMITHY: Aeris dies. MEL: Spike dies! SMITHY: Rosebud's the sled! |

Kirby: You guys are so lame 
Kirby walks towards the local store (which he points out has a mushroom sign next to it). He hesitates in opening the door when he hears crying on the other side. He quirks an eyebrow and slowly opens the door. Kirby: Uh... Excuse me? A woman, with a purplish skintone, slowly picked up her head from apparantly constant sobbing on the front counter. Her golden hair shined in the dim lighting, as did her tears, which were pretty much soaking her pink apron. Twilighter Clerk: *sniff* Oh, a customer.. *sniff* I'm sorry... We're not open right now. *sniff*.. Kirby: Ahum.. Sorry.. didn't mean to interupt something.. Twilighter Clerk: Oh... *sniff* That's alright.. Well, n-no.. it's not alright.. but.. I.. I.. The woman looked like she was about to break out in a sob again. Kirby: Uhhh... Is there something.. oop! What's.. Yet Another Swinub: L'oink! L'oink! Twilighter Clerk: *sniff* My husband... A pig... Kirby: Technically a swinub.. Twilighter Clerk: My husband *sniff* went to the woods yesterday to collect herbs.. Kirby turned his head and tried to give his biggest "I'm sorry for dragging you guys into this" face. Twilighter Clerk: But no husband came home.. Instead, a pig returned! This pig! We got into a fight before he left, and I had called him a chauvinist pig.. And now he really is a pig.. And now he really is a pig... *Sniff*... But he has a sweet side, too, like cooking my favorite food on my birthday, y'know? He's just got so many wonderful things going for him, y'know? I wish he wouldn't dip into the till for cola money, but boys will be boys, y'know? And I could really do without him drying his underwear on the radiator, y'know? And no matter how often I tell him, he drinks milk from the carton, y'know? I don't think it'd be tough for him to change his socks once in a while, y'know? But I have my faults too, y'know? Like, maybe I shouldn't have been so hard on him all the time, y'know? I should've told him how I felt about him when I could y'know? Oh, how could he leave me and turn into a pig like this, y'know? .... Yeah. So, ummmm.... Are you even listening? Kirby was currently cradling a sleeping Yami. Kirby: Er.. yeah. Twilighter Clerk: So, hey... Could you figure out some way to restore my husband to normal? You guys look like adventurers. Kirby: Aren't NPCs supposed to be surprised to find something like that out? Twilighter Clerk: I'll do whatever I can to help. You can even take anything in the storeroom that might help, y'know? Kirby: See? I lead you guys into good things =3 |

| Troy was already crouched down. He was gripping both sides of the resident's pig face, scrunching it.
Troy : Level 3 polymorph. Pretty common. Though, it's still pretty hard to dispel. I know someone who might be able to remove it, but I don't know if they'd be able to get here in any decent timeframe. Still... seeing how frequently people are transformed, and the fact that those that ARE pigs AREN'T reverting over time, this force is being sustained. Therefore... whatever or whoever's doing this couldn't be more than a few miles from here. |

| Twilighter Clerk: Oh! I knew I could rely on you!
Kirby: Say, it seems like everyone here are dark elves... Why.. uh.. no magics to fix the problem? Twilighter Clerk: Oh.. We don't have any mana in us. Kirby: You're... kidding. Ahh.. yeah, okay, I'll be on my way now. Kirby walked into storage room. He looks around and takes note of all the stuff inside. For a race who are unable to use magic, they have a vast supply of magic regenerating items. Kirby: This town is totally NPCish. Huh? He notices a black key laying in a trash can. He leans over and picks the key up. It was quite similar to the other black keys he saw earlier.. He slipped the key into a pocket in his jacket. Kirby stood for a few more moments, thinking. He felt something odd. He looked over at Grey for a moment, then over at Troy. Kirby: Troy.. Um.. Whatever happens.. Try to keep from using your weapon while we're inside the town... It's.. a feeling.. |

| Grey: "Huh, Dark Elves..."
He paused in consideration. Weird, how much he knew about them now that he thought about it. Maybe it was all the reading... "Dark Elves aren't like Night Elves or Drow. Unlike Drow, they can go out in the middle of the day and it doesn't really hurt them. No more than a sunburn would, anyway. And unlike Night Elves, you've got it exactly right, Kirb. They don't have any real magical power at all. I guess there's just this big axiom about elves and magic that they have to uphold. Sort of a status quo. I mean, if your entire race was universally renowned for one single overarcing racial trait, wouldn't you milk that presence for all it was worth? Probably why there's so much in the way of magically revitalizing stuff. 'Course, guys like me and Jack can't use it at all. No use in wasting our valuable coins." He licked his lips and coughed a bit. "Then again, I could totally go for a soda right about now. I'm thirsty like heck." (edited by Prinny God of Nature on 10-14-06 01:58 AM) |

| Troy glanced over to the storeroom door, and its padlock jiggled violently for a moment before coming to a rest. Troy blinked, shaking his head.
Troy : ...uh, 'kay, whatever you say. |

| Kirby hands Grey a yellow striped blue can.
Kirby: Tasty Tonic. A drink that can restore whatever is your form of "MP".. and clears poison. You guys may not use MP, but I'm sure you guys use PP or TP, or whatever. She said we can help ourselves, so there you go. Picks up what seems to be Instant Shroom Steak. Kirby: This should work.. Kirby starts walking out of the room, but Grey's talk actually seemed to make him think. Kirby: You seem to be knowledgable about this elf stuff.. What would a half-human, half dark elf come out to look like? |

| Grey popped the Tonic and started drinking. He grimaced at the flavor.
Grey: "Well, that depends. Ever played The Legend of Zelda?" |

| There was a rather nervous look coming from Kirby.
Kirby: Uh.. well.. you could say that. Yeah. Kirby pushed the front store door open, and held it open for anyone who was right behind him. Kirby: Hold that thought, Grey... Kirby quickly jogged over to the family a few steps away. He held out the package of Instant Shroom Steak. Kirby: I won this thing, and I realized that I don't go for this thing... so.. "Mommy" "I'm hungry!" "Food please." Twilighter Mother: Oh, thank you so much. You've made my children very happy... and me, as well. Oh, kind travelers... Where do you hail... DING-DONG! "EEEEEE!" "NOOOO!" "Waaaaaah!" Kirby: Oh, for the love of.. Swinub Fomerly Known as Twilighter Mother: Moink moink. "Mommy... You're a piggy..." "Hey! Fix my mommy!" "Hey... Are pigs good eatin'?" |

| Grey: "Oy, Kirb!"
Grey called out over the screaming populace to his compatriot. "You know what you could do, is stop talking to people so that they don't keep turning into pigs. Just a suggestion." |

| Jack had had his tricorder out this time.
Jack: Hmmm... It's actually not a polymorph. More like a reorganization at the molecular level. JDavis or Washu could probably undo it... Fem: But JDavis has been in a funk lately. Jack: And contacting Washu without JDavis's help can be troublesome. Besides, we'd be treating the symptons, not the thing responsible. *closes tricorder* I think it's time to head to this... "Creepy Steeple" |

| Kirby: Wh-what?
Yet again, Grey's words had struck him. Kirby: They're transforming.. because of.. Kirby's eyes shifted around, glancing at the locals who still weren't swinubs. In moments, they turned around and tried their best not to look at the spikey headed lad. Kirby: Eh.. I guess it might be best if we just.. um.. move along now... Kirby sighed as he started walking east, towards the town's gate. Twilighter Gatekeeper: A nasty monster lives in the woods past here. I'm serious. That's what somebody said. I'm gonna need the chief's permission if you want to get by. Kirby: The old monster beyond the town gate, thing?  How many times have I heard that one? Hey, listen, guy... We can't get permission.
Twilighter Gatekeeper: And why's that? Kirby: You see.. And before Kirby had a chance to explain, the bell chimed in the distance. It was then the gate keeper turned into a swinub. Kirby: Problem solved. (edited by Kirbynite on 10-14-06 02:32 AM) |

| The path beyond Twilight Town was one of those old dusty ones, with some large rocks and leafless trees littered about. There was a lonely little shack just ahead of everyone, with a swinub mindlessly walking around.
Further down, the path went into a forest. Shadows pretty much engulfed the path for a bit until it reached a hill at the end. Ontop of the hill was a house, but not much can be said from this distance. Kirby: Well.. looks like we've got a bit ahead of us... |

| Kirby: If it's going to involve us walking back and forth because something's in our way, don't worry! Look at the group we've got! We can deal with any situation that comes our way!
Just as Kirby finished speaking, there was a slight breeze that swept across the path. The bare trees slightly swayed, causing their shadows to dance and arousing fireflies from their comfortable spots. A cautious eye would've noticed that the shadows seemed to be larger than what should've been... Unfortunately, Kirby was not one of those with the sharp eye, as he was distracted by a voice. ???: Hold up! Hey! Who's there? I just heard a voice! Kirby realized there was a female voice coming from a black treasure box inside the little lonely shack. There were no windows, nor doors, so he just stepped inside. Kirby: ... Black Box: There's no way that people could be here! Seriously, that's just so unlikely! Kirby steps out for a moment, and comes back a few moments later, carrying a Hoothoot. Hoothoot: Hoot hoot? Kirby: Yes, really. We've seen plenty of chests like you. Black Box: No way! (edited by Kirbynite on 10-14-06 04:39 AM) (edited by Kirbynite on 10-15-06 01:54 AM) |
