Description Yeah, it's been quite a while since I submitted something to dA. And I was supposed to finish The Three Caballeros request by today. Guess what? I didn't...

So... this is what happened: had a contract with the Aracuan Bird (his only way to get to me here in Brazil, giving that such character was found on the Brazilian jungle by Donald Duck.). The contract stated that if I didn't finish my request by June 30th, the clown would pay me a visit.

So, what's the first thing that happened to me in the morning? I was tied to my bed, and somehow couldn't use any of the spells my Shadow self is capable of, with FoliΓ£o (as the bird is called in the Brazilian comics of him) staring at me, holding a feather on his hand.

What exactly happened after that scene I'll leave to your imagination.

This is the color version. I'm thinking on doing a shaded one as well.

And then the reply you do give puts me in that situation...Acknowledging that paper would blow my (completely solid) cover while pretending to ignore it would surely make the point of mentioning it become moot...Hmm...You could become a threat to me and my (nearly nonexistant) RP abilities

Right. Just like all my "subtle" hints before now Nah I believe you. I still have plenty to relearn in the art of RP. Aside from our conversations the last time I've done anything close to an RP was over a few years ago. Who knows? I might randomly think something up for a proper reply

Oh if only there was a way to get close to ZΓ© and find out without raising suspicion...

*Conveniently drops a piece of paper with Nestor's number on it in front of you*

If it is somehow true that he's behind the thefts... *Sigh* Our brilliant ideas and plans for that "manipulative rascal" would be nothing without something or someone to stop him from running off before we get a chance to act or act on our behalf...Whatever shall we do... *Slightly peeks at you* Oh whatever shall we do! *Thinking to self: Smooth XIII...Not obvious in the slightest...*

"Littering" is such a harsh word...I prefer "misplaced trash". (Or conveniently placed plot device. Whichever works ) *Looks out the window* Hmm? You expecting someone? There appears to be a green bird with a silly cap and yellow shirt outside this home gathering a fair amount of...Lawn ornaments?

Well that certainly got his attention...and got him to run away with what he could hold. Could've just quietly gone outside to try and apprehend the suspect. Anyway...I take it that wasn't a typical occurance and you weren't expecting to see Z-er whoever that strange bird was?

Oh? And how pray tell do you intend to get back at someone neither of us obviously knows...Obviously? I doubt green birds are a rare sight or easy to track here. In fact aside from a few differences in color he almost looked like a friend of mine...'cept he would never wear such a silly outfit. I really don't see a proper plan of action. Unless there is someone conveniently awaiting contact for such a conveniently planned occasion...but what are the odds of that even being remotely possible?

Heh, it's a one in a million chance. But if it was fate who sent that bird there then a one in a million chance is just like 100% percent.

(Well, at least this holds true in media. If something is remotely possible then it WILL happen. Sorta like Murphy's law. )

100% eh? Was it truly fate that brought him here? Or a plan created by a [Ego]charming and handsome individual[/Ego] that ended up perfectly set into action? Either way...You hold all the cards now. "The players have assembled! Raise the curtain!" (Damn it Treize) *Oblivious to the fact you're still here* Initiate the plan! Show that bird what happens when you cross the Enigma and all of Shadow kind! *Insert overly dramatic pose*

(So true. Quite a bit like your work. It's possible that you'll "take care" of all the targets and you will...Eventually )

((Also I know I said cutting back on the RPing could help free up some time but...Never expected your internet to take me seriously for the past couple days ))

Anything is possible with the right Spellcard. *Shows "Satori: Third Eye" card* By the way...You might want to stop being so easy to catch. Plenty of visions of you getting tickled in that head of yours. Here's to hoping the call will provide what I-er we hope for.

(At this point the Aracuan might just overly secure you to a chair and "supervise" your work while acting accordingly to your choices. Can't say I'd be any more gentle though )

Keep that side supressed. Don't need it deciding to alert the thief and ruin this opportunity. Now then...*Dramatically points at the phone* Go! Make the fated call!

XIIIthEnigma In reply to JBtheShadow [2011-07-03 18:44:24 +0000 UTC]

Don't be surprised if he doesn't answer. Probably been busy getting what he'll need and the call was mainly decided to confirm the start of his part. (And because I remembered that while I know who Nestor is, I have NO idea what he's like since I can't read the comics...Derp on my part. ) So a simple message should suffice. Aside from that we either wait for his report and/or footage (Which I'll still force you to do. ) or attempt finding where they are to enjoy the show. Probably the former unless you really think the clown can be trusted here without us...Which I know I don't.

(Hey it's your fault for sending the Aracuan after him. Alright though...Plan V...Victini isn't happy that the Aracuan got to have his way and as such is giving you until the 13th of this month for the Caballeros because it's totally the best number and it's practically the 2 week overdue day. He knows it was your Tangela and trust me...You don't want to see what Victini is capable of doing when it comes to revenge. Don't worry about your signature...We already forged it for you. )

(He'd be sure to tickle you first. He wouldn't want to go after damaged merchandise. Meet or beat the deadline and show those three to never mess with the Aracuan! You got the next ten days before it becomes a whole month after that Aracuan contract started. Plus if you do end up at least looking like a typical Shadow Heartless...I got a Keyblade paperweight on standby. )

Huh? He...He left? Aracuan! Answer if you're still here! *Waits* Ugh...Guess that's what happens when you trust a clown like him. If I know anything about that bird...Which I hopefully do...After Donald he'd go to Panchito then JosΓ© and report back to me...Hopefully.

(Well...Mine's a paperweight instead of the real deal and you'd be a charred Shadow and not a Heartless so I see no problem. Although there are too many keyblade wielders showing up. Sora, Riku, Mickey, Roxas, Terra, Aqua, Ventus, Eraqus, Xehanort...Xion and Vanitas if you count puppets/created beings. If you haven't played it I'd recommend Birth by Sleep on the PSP. Widely considered the greatest in the series.)

Unless those two get invited to House of Mouse again, making it pretty easy to tickle all the three. And considering how JosΓ© treated Aracuan perhaps he'd go for Panchito last. But who knows...

(Yeah, I couldn't remember all those names. I've played CoM on GBA, and I've seen my friend playing the two PS2 titles. I don't have any handhelds though (I got a GBA/DS emulator ), but I so want a PSP. Lots of good games I'm missing...)

Huh...Never thought of that. For all we know they could be either sitting in the audience or preparing to perform...Hope it'll that easy for him. It'd save us all some work. If not...I doubt he'd make Panchito be last rather than JosΓ©. With how Mr. Carioca treated our friend and all the comments he made...The Aracuan could take care of the other two and then spend as long as he wants with JosΓ© to "make up" for all of it.

(I only remember since KH was my addiction before I found out about TTC and Victini. It'd also be good to have a PSP ready for when "Birth by Sleep: Volume 2" gets released.)

((I completely overlooked something like that HoM idea. Let's hope they have a reason to go...Otherwise I might just have to "fabricate" one for them. ))

Heh perhaps. Just about everything winds up angering Donald though. The Aracuan might not view it as real anger compared to JosΓ©. He was completely calm and collected until the Aracuan came by. Almost feel sorry for Panchito being stuck in the middle thanks to those two...Almost

Of course I could be wrong...The mind of the Aracuan is a mystery I don't think anyone could figure out. He might even prioritize Panchito to make up for lost time bothering him. Or just split the "fun" up evenly instead of picking a favorite. The possibilities are endless when dealing with that crazy bird.

Riiight...How exactly did you know he'd be going out to tickle them? I may have admitted that it was his plan but not before you brought the possibility up. You also seem to know an awful lot about the HoM and how the Caballeros have treated the Aracuan in the past. He isn't one to just come out and share that information with anyone. Plus...The Aracuan can only say his name...Typically in song form. I doubt you magically learned how to understand what he was saying in the two short hours you were alone with him. Either he did something that made everything clear to you or you're hiding something...Who do you work for and where were you on the night of the 37th!?

JBtheShadow In reply to XIIIthEnigma [2011-07-05 00:48:25 +0000 UTC]

I never said he was going out to tickle them. That's what you assumed. What I said is "I hope he's paying a visit to his friend Donald".

Regarding what he can say, I've heard he can also make some other unintelligible sounds (Like in "Blame it on the samba", or whatever that cartoon episode was).

And I work for no one but myself. Night of the 37th? Hmm... you know, I can't remember!

XIIIthEnigma In reply to JBtheShadow [2011-07-05 01:45:02 +0000 UTC]

"Unless those two get invited to House of Mouse again, making it pretty easy to tickle all the three." Before you said that I only mentioned the order he'd visit them. I still find it suspicious even if I did jump to a conclusion.

Whether you actually heard those sounds or just "heard" that he can make them can be discussed later...You still haven't explained your knowledge about the HoM and how the Aracuan was treated by the Caballeros. SUSPICIOUS. (I'll have to look that up again later. I barely paid attention to the Aracuan before our conversations started.)

So...You deny working for anyone and "can't remember" where you were on the night of the 37th...SUSPICIOUS...Very well then...Time to play my trump card...JB! ...What is with those ridiculous drawings of the Caballeros on your body? The fact that you didn't decide to cover them up at all since I arrived makes them all the more...SUSPICIOUS.

As for your explanation about the drawings...I'll accept that. I believe that he'd do something like that if encouraged. A tad disturbed that you didn't put a shirt or anything on since I showed up...Now that I think about it...Maybe that's why ZΓ© ran off...

I'll keep Nestor in the dark about your plan. Don't want to ruin a possible target. Oh...You may need this. *Hands you the directions to Nestor's home in Vila Xurupita.* Should calling him reveal nothing you should be able to startle him quite a bit with a surprise visit. I'll probably wait to question the Aracuan...Trying to track him down would be beyond difficult unless that HoM hope turns out to be true.

(Break logic with your Tangela? If I can involve Victini through contract then you can involve him through the power of breaking reality.
Not sure how much easier they would be but Victini is willing to compromise. He said that he won't go after you if you manage at least one of the requests by the 13th. Enjoy the choices with my constant harassment. )

(Wish I could think of something more helpful. Even with all of his "enemies" he's still practically impossible to just "catch". I'll try to keep an open train of thought for any ideas.
Good luck. Even though I know I'm not helping by keeping this conversation/half RP going. )

Try not to worry about it that much. With what you intend to do Nestor...I think we'll become and stay friends for quite some time. I'd rather not steal from a friend. I'll be sure to let the Aracuan know to leave you be when he returns...Your "twin" is still a fair target though.

(With how often I've been bringing up the requests? Heh keep messing around and there probably won't be a "JB" much longer. )

((Also I know it probably doesn't involve me but what's with this conveniently named "Team 13"? )
