Nessie: Not good.
Matt: Uh, could be anything involving bats...
Maid: Worthless imitation freak.
Nessie: Wipers.*hits the windshield wiper button*
Tori: Why would a mech have those.
Matt: You have to make these things driveable. How else can I fight in the rain.
*meanwhile*
Ben:*returns to the ground and his normal form* Where is she?
Anya:*arrives* You mean I ran here and she still isn't even down here!? *yelling* Poison doctors here! Margret, Yell if you can here us!

Luigifan: I still say that thing is the lovechild of Cackletta and Dracula.
Lily: Ew ew ew NO!
Legault: ...Lily?
Lily: That is just... NOT OKAY!
Cassandra: Ow...
*meanwhile*
Randy: Hm? Who's there? *stops and listens for the sound*
π: 0 β©: 1
Nessie:*continues trying to wipe Cassandra off the windshield*
Matt: And I say it could have been any person who can become a bat. It's kind of a common power actually.
Maid: Just land this thing before my chest has permanent hand markings.
Tori: That's my head you're calling a hand.
Matt: Arguing aside we really should land so we can find Margret. Just, don't accidentally land on her.
*meanwhile*
Anya: Goddammit Randy/Margret! Stay still so we can heal you already!

Cassandra: *comically having her face messed up before finally falling off the mech and crashing dizzily to the ground*
*The remaining wasps begin trying to sting the hell out of the mech.*
Lillian: I knew it... They're clearly after Devin! They were distracted by the already-paralyzed target, but with that out of reach, they're going for the drider again!
Luigifan: Uh... How thick is this thing's armor again?
*A wasp's stinger crashes right into the windshield, cracking it.*
Flora: *Flora yelps in panic and clings to Annie.*
Annie: *Annie also yelps in panic and clings to Flora.*
Luigifan: ...I sure hope Collin isn't able to see this, otherwise he's going to have an erotic memory to fap to tonight...
*Everyone is dead silent for several seconds.*
Annie: Excuse me, what did you just say?!?
Phillip: ...That's just plain uncool, dude.
Flora: This is no time for crude jokes!!!!! We might all become wasp chow at any second!!!
Sonja: Ugh, I do not want to see how Flora reacts to the next villain who invades Pop Star...
*Meanwhile, on the ground...*
Randy: *hearing Anya* Anya? Is that you? Margaret could really use your help- *Just then, Cassandra lands on top of Randy.* Oof!

[May 2nd... May 2nd... MAY 2ND!!!]
Collin:*underneath everyone* This would be a lot cooler if you I could see anything.
Nessie: Bar dropping?
Maid: What exactly happens when this thing's armor is destroyed.
Matt: It explodes.
Tori: Why would you build something like that!?!
Matt: I built this to combat Andross, the shield would have lasted long enough before I'd need to retreat!
Maid: And now you've gone and blown every last one of us up! Good thinking you explosion freak!
Matt: If you're Devin then you do something! Can't you summon Marion or Marian?
Nessie: No need. Found button!
Matt: Wait that's the over boo-
Nessie:*engages overboost. It's pretty much like Sonic's boost mechanic. If there was a normal boost and then an even stronger boost after that, aka, really freakin' fast boosting*
*meanwhile*
Anya:*follows the sound of Randy's voice* Jeez, an't you just sit still sometimes. You could have made the poison worse!

What's with the May 2nd comment? Is it supposed to be a pun on "Mayday"?
π: 0 β©: 1
No. Much more better. It is the day the Americas and Europe areas are graced with the wonder of KICKING QUEEN SECTONIA'S ASS! If I recall the Nintendo direct correctly.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh. Funnily enough, May 2nd is also Annie's birthday. So Annie's next birthday celebration is going to be very, um, interesting.

Yeah, but for the first time I actually want a Mario Golf game more than tennis. I am sorely disappointed having there be no campaign mode like the last two, but Golf at least has something close enough.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I actually like character customization and RPG elements, thank you very much...
By the way, have you played Zenonia 4 yet?
π: 0 β©: 1
Nah, I don't play app games. In fact I don't even have a phone that plays modern app games.
π: 0 β©: 1
Darn... It's actually a really good game, though it can get outrageously expensive if you want to elite-tweak your character.

I barely use my phone so there's a really high chance I'll ever get a phone that has all these apps.

Randy: Gah... I can't move... Geez, Cassandra, what have you been eating?!?
Cassandra: 
Randy: ...That doesn't help me.
*meanwhile*
Luigifan: *pressed up against the wall of the mech, along with everyone else* Woah! G-force in my face!!!!
Annie: Kyaaaa! >_<;
Lindsay: Is it really necessary to go this fast?!?
Flora: The further away we get from those wasps, the better!!!
Sonja: You really need to get over your fear of arthropods...
Flora: Excuse me?!?
Sonja: Sorry... I didn't mean to be insensitive. But seriously, I'm seeing a disaster in Dream Land next June, and, well... Long story short, if you keep freaking out every time a bug so much as gives you a dirty look, there is no way you're going to be able to help resolve the crisis.
Flora: I can handle myself against the Ant God just fine... Never mind that I'd be on the verge of soiling myself the entire time...
Phillip: Look out!
*Just then, Andross's fist comes in from out of nowhere and punches the mech right into the ground.*
Flora: *unconscious*
Reuben: *also unconscious*
Luigifan: *very badly dazed* What... just... happened...?
Annie: I think we just got punched out...
Lillian: ._.; Uh... This isn't going to make the mech explode, right? Right?
π: 0 β©: 1
Nessie: Don't worry. 45% remains.
Matt: Good... Hopefully the shields will-
Nessie: These?*shields read 0%
Maid: Cheap worthless imitation crap! What do we do now?
Collin: Wait for the shields to recharge!
Matt: Better idea. RUN AWAY!!
Nessie: ... Ummm...
Maid: See, this is why you don't overload a morons brain.
Nessie: WWDD? Nah. Chocolate sucks... That'll do.*gets the AC back onto it's feet and begins searching for Andross*
Maid: We're gonna die. She REALLY thinks she can beat a giant fist wielding monkey with a damaged robot.
π: 0 β©: 1
Annie: *whimper* I think Matt has the right idea... *Annie begins trying to rouse Flora.*
Sonja: *silently praying*
Lily: *to Nessie* If this thing blows up and kills Legault, I will never forgive you.
Legault: Uh, Lily, I really don't think it's necessary to threaten our pilot... Though, I really would like to get my plane back...
*meanwhile*
Cassandra: *comes to her senses* Argh... That was humiliating... Why the hell am I Vector?
Randy: Ugh, thank goodness... Could you please get off of me?
Cassandra: *thinks for a moment* Nah, we need you to stay put until Ben and Anya get here.
Felicia: *Felicia finds Margaret, picks her up, and starts reassuring her.* Don't worry, sis, you're going to be all right...
*Meanwhile, back in Empire City, Todd, Arthur, Jumpy, and the rest of the Heroes' League are wondering where the heck their friends and loved ones are.*
π: 0 β©: 1
Nessie:*simply looks at Matt as if he's an idiot*
Matt: What am I doing wrong.
Nessie: Shields now!
Tori: She does have a point. As long as Matt can use a shield we might have a chance.
Maid: And if not he's responsible for turning his girlfriend into cat jello.
Matt:*mimics Sora and starts casting shield magic* Why is it my fault? I didn't build the AC for rescue missions, it's a wonder we got even three people in here.
*meanwhile*
Anya:*manages to arrive at Randy and Cassandra's area* I don't know what goes on in your heads sometimes. Movement is poison's best friend Randy, and by god if you made it worse I won't talk to you for 5 minutes! Think of all the information you might have just lost mister.
Ben: (doesn't sound that bad.)
π: 0 β©: 1
Randy: ...That doesn't really apply when the poisoned person is being carried...
Felicia: Shut up and let us take care of Margaret.
*meanwhile*
Annie: *succeeds in shaking Flora awake*
Flora: Gah! Ow, my head... What happened?
Annie: Andross is attacking us, and if he manages to score a solid hit, we're all goners! We need you to help us fight him off!
Flora: So, what should I do?
Annie: Cast spells at him, of course!
Flora: *shrugs* Where is he?
Annie: I have no idea... *Just then, the mech lurches backwards.* Oh crap, he's trying to suck us in! Blasthimblasthimblasthim!!!
π: 0 β©: 1
Nessie: Better idea.*turns the AC around and dashes at Andross*
Maid: Great. Eaten by a monkey head.
Matt: Last I checked, AC's are much bigger than arwings. About the same cockpit space though.
Nessie:*slices at Andross' jaw*
*meanwhile*
Anya:*begins healing Margaret* Honestly, giant wasps. Dumbest plan ever.
π: 0 β©: 1
Annie: *Annie cries out in terror as Nessie lunges towards Andross.*
Andross: *Andross, caught completely off-guard by Nessie's unorthodox tactics, ends up getting his lower lip nearly split in two. He sputters and coughs, then spits the mech out without even bothering to chew.*
Lindsay: That. Was. Awesome!
Luther: ...That wasn't awesome, it was reckless!
Annie: *Annie is hyperventilating in an effort to calm herself down.* OhmyGodthatwasscaryIthoughtwewereallgoingtodiehorribly!
Luther: *gesturing towards Annie* You guys know Annie gets frightened easily!
Flora: Um... I kinda doubt Nessie knew that...
Luigifan: *trying to calm Annie down* Just relax, it's not like he's chewing on us or anything!
Andross: Urgh... You annoying little... *Andross punches the mech again, only to be deflected by Matt's shield.* Die! *Andross begins firing beams of energy at the mech.*
Annie: We're gonna die! 
Luigifan: We are not going to die!!!!!
Annie: *Annie continues sobbing in fear; she apparently hasn't heard a word Luigifan just said.*
*meanwhile*
Margaret: *Margaret dramatically gasps for breath as Anya starts healing her.* Ugh... Gah...
Randy: Margaret! Are you all right?
Margaret: Not... yet... only... barely... able to... speak... Still can't move... Bleah...
Randy:
Felicia: Margaret, don't worry. You're going to be fine.
Margaret: I know... Thank you... All of you... *Margaret smiles weakly, then her head slumps down.
Randy: Gah! Dear Lord please don't let her suffocate-
Cassandra: *Cassandra gently slaps Randy.* Shut up and let the medical expert do her thing!
Randy: But... It's dangerous for the head to simply hang limp, 'cause it can close off the windpipe... That's what usually finished off people who were crucified-
Cassandra: *Cassandra slaps Randy again, this time considerably harder.*
Randy: Ouch!
Felicia: Hey! Why'd you slap him again?!?
Cassandra: He should have known better than to remind me of that incident.
Randy: Is that still a sore spot?
Cassandra: I still have nightmares about it. Nightmares, Randy!!!
Randy: 
Margaret: I'll... be... fine...

Matt: WHEN COULD ANDROSS EAT BUILDINGS!?! Gah! Freakin' out... A Jibbly jibbly jibbly..
Nessie: Oh dear.
Maid: Get back to work! What about our shields!?
Nessie: Full offense!
Tori: I don't like this plan-
Nessie:*fires all the projectiles available. Bullets, missles, and grenade launchers. That kind of stuff*
Tori: Okay maybe not so much.
*meanwhile*
Anya: If need be my nanomachines can bring oxygen to the areas as needed. We shouldn't have to worry about anything outside some sort of catastrophe.
π: 0 β©: 1
Randy: Er...
Margaret: *Margaret wearily giggles.* Knowing Randy... he probably... won't stop worrying... about me... until this darned poison... is completely purged... and I'm back on my feet.
Randy: ...You're probably right, love.
Margaret: One thing I don't get, though... how is it I can easily... withstand the Sewer Spider's venom nowadays... but just one sting from a wasp left me... so thoroughly paralyzed I couldn't even speak?
Randy: 
Margaret: 
Felicia:
*meanwhile*
Annie: *is in a state of such utter panic that she is able to do nothing but lie in the fetal position*
Luigifan: Ugh... Where the hell is Tails, anyways?
*Meanwhile, Tails and Arthur are talking with the police, trying to convince them to throw Altair in jail.*
π: 0 β©: 1
Anya: I dunno, these are some seriously strong poisons. it's the kind of poison that'd stop anything.
Tora:*falls next to Anya. Apparently she was dropped after the overboost*
Ben: And I'd say this is probably the proof in that statement.
*meanwhile*
Maid: Oh good, we're still completely defenseless.
Matt: Jibbly...
Nessie:*seems to be having fun shooting everything she has at Andross*
Tori: Matt is not going to be happy when he has to replace all of this ammo.
π: 0 β©: 1
[Wait, I thought Matt Yukari'd Tora back to the Pikachu Cave... ]
Flora: Cosmo, you have this covered?
Cosmo: 
Sonja: You know what scares me? Thinking of how Boar will react when he learns of what happened to Tora. I mean, he's just as likely to not really care, considering that he thinks of Tora as a deadbeat, but at the same time, he's so protective of Tori...
Luigifan: Isn't Tora still infested with wasp eggs? Annie never did get to heal her... Oh crap...
Reuben: *Before the current conversation can go any farther, Reuben groans, twitches, and slowly opens his eyes.* Argh...
Sonja: Reuben... are you all right?
Reuben: *rubbing his head* Ungh... I think so... What happened?
Sonja: Andross' fist came in from out of nowhere and punched us into the ground.
Reuben: Oh... Oh dear... Is anyone else injured?
Sonja: Not too badly... *sigh* I'm glad to have you awake, love. *Sonja gently hugs Reuben, causing him to blush.*
Reuben: Sonja... Aaahhh... ...A-anyways, what are we doing now?
Sonja: Fighting Andross off, of course.
Andross: *Andross is sucking on his lower lip to dull the pain (making a 
Annie: *Annie is still catatonic out of fear.*
Lindsay: 
Annie: Guh... I... I know that... Please don't remind me...
Lindsay: Well, apparently it worked, didn't it?
Annie: Is he gone yet...?
Lindsay: Well. Um. No.
Annie: *whimper*
Lindsay: Annie... trust me, buddy, we are not going to die here. Stop being such a baby.
Annie: Lindsay... Oh, if only I could see Tails one last time and tell him how much I love him-
Lindsay: Annie! We are not dying today! Cosmo's shielding the mech, we can take anything Andross can throw at us!
Annie: ...Really?
Lindsay: Really.
Annie: I see... *sniff* Thanks, Lindsay. *Annie picks herself up off the ground and gets back into a sitting position.*
Lindsay: *Lindsay sits next to Annie.* Hey, come on! I'm your best friend, I just had to snap you out of that funk you were in! After all, you'd do the same for me!
Annie: 
Lindsay: 
Luther: 
Luigifan: *Luigifan mentally curses himself for not preventing Collin from seeing this.*
*meanwhile*
Margaret: *Margaret is trying to relax while Randy gently ruffles the fur in her forehead.*
Cassandra: What about me?
Margaret: Oh, yes, you as well, Cassandra. Thanks for calling Anya over here. Without her, I'd still be completely paralyzed with those eggs inside me, just waiting for them to hatch and eat me alive... brrr!!!!!!!! *Margaret shudders in discomfort.* ...Hm? Ah! I... I think I can move again... *Margaret tries to curl up into a ball, then to levitate herself, and succeeds in doing both.* Yes! I'm back! *Margaret uncurls and turns to face Anya.* Thanks a bundle, Anya! *Margaret vigorously shakes Anya's hand, then lowers herself to the ground, runs up to Randy, and tackle-hugs him.*
Randy: Wha- oof!
Felicia:
Cassandra:
Margaret: *clinging to Randy, crying and kissing him* Randy... I was so worried that you'd never see me again... that I was going to slip past the radar and die slowly, in utter agony, unnoticed by anyone, with nobody to rescue or at least comfort me... that you wouldn't even find a corpse because everything in my body had been eaten by those foul grubs... and that you'd have to live out the rest of your life without me by your side...
Randy: *Randy looks very, very queasy and close to tears.*
Margaret: Um... Am I being too graphic?
Randy: Yeah... way, way, way too graphic...
Margaret:
Randy: *Randy is very, very bewildered (and justifiably so).*
Felicia: *to Ben* Yes, I know she's mood-swinging, but make any comments about "that time of the month" and I will slug you.
Cassandra: Yeah, I think she's mostly just relieved to have made a complete recovery...
Felicia: Oh, that's got to be how she's feeling... Looking at her now, I'm actually reminded of that first time Randy rescued her from the Sewer Spider and hit her to start allowing herself to be loved again...
Cassandra: In other words, raging female hormones.
Felicia: Erm. Uh. Yes.
Cassandra: I dunno, maybe it is that time of the month- *decked by Felicia* Ouch! 
Felicia: TouchΓ©; I should have seen that remark coming as soon as you mentioned raging hormones.
Margaret: *Margaret continues enthusiastically smooching, cuddling, crying, and laughing on top of Randy, who is not quite sure how to respond.*
Felicia: Get a room, you two!
Cassandra: ...It is a really good thing that Collin isn't here...
π: 0 β©: 1
[this why I have to remember to reread these things. So anyway then. Nothing interesting happened with Anya and Ben at all last post.]
Collin:*lying on the floor being stood on by several people* I can't see crud.
Nessie: Seriously?
Maid: How much health do you have you freak!?
Tori: Would you kindly shoot him in the eyes.
Nessie: hitting everything.
Tori: Just shoot the eyes.
Nessie:*begins aiming for the eyes*
*meanwhile*
Ben: it's also a good thing Collin isn't interested in emotions. I can hear him now, "Ew, feelings." is what he'd be yelling right now.
Anya: You people take his ability to tolerate mushy romance too seriously, I mean it's practically non-existent. But I really hope there isn't anyone else who got stung.
π: 0 β©: 1
Margaret: *Margaret is comfortably snuggling up with Randy, when she suddenly remembers something and her eyes shoot open.* Oh, crap! I just remembered what was going on when I got paralyzed! Andross was carrying Flora and Sonja off to be eaten alive by his wasps... the same wasps that got me... *Margaret leaps to her feet, looking quite pissed off.* I have to stop him! I have to save them! *Margaret hastily flies off before anyone can correct her.*
Randy: ... ... ...
Felicia:
Cassandra: I'm pretty sure they're all fine in that mech...
*meanwhile*
Andross: Argh!!! *Andross is forced to momentarily pause his attack by the abuse heaped on his eyes. However, by the time he recovers, he finds that his hands have been blown up by a spiraling beam of electricity.*
Margaret: ANDROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you think you're going to be allowed to murder my friends, you have another thing coming for you - namely, a billion volts of electricity right to your stupid monkey face!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Andross: o_o; ...This has... not turned out like I hoped it would... I'd better retreat... *Andross flies away.*
Margaret: Get back here, Andross!!! 
Flora: *pounding on the glass of the mech's cockpit* Margaret! Margaret, we're right here!!!!
Phillip: *pulls Flora back* Pounding on cracked glass isn't exactly the best of ideas...
Margaret: Hm? *turns towards the mech* Oh! Flora! Sonja! You're okay!
Flora:
Margaret: Heh... Let's go pick up Ben, Anya, Randy, and Cassandra - they were down in the cornfield with me - and get back to Empire City!
Annie:
π: 0 β©: 1
Nessie:*leaves the cockpit preferring to travel by foot*
Maid:*also leaves the AC* You've got the right idea for a hideous moron.
Nessie: Yeah. Kinda relieved. It just hit 'E'.
Matt:*notices that the mech is indeed out of pretty much everything and starts crying* I spent so much making this thing, and it was used up by a fish in one day...
Tori: Maybe next time Matt.*she and everyone leaves the AC but Matt just says behind sobbing before head-keyboarding*
AC:*makes a piddly tiny explosion that surprisingly doesn't hurt anyone*
Matt:*lands next to Nessie coated in black dust*
Nessie: Something on your cheek...
Maid: I'd laugh but that'd just be encouraging your behavior.*summons Marian* Besides we really need to get you home and there's just one important thing we need to do before we can go.
Nessie: Say bye?
Maid: Of course not. Apparently, SOMEONE forgot to keep the secret of exactly who I am secret so I'm afraid you all will have to cough up your respective memories of how you learned my real name.
Marian: Don't worry, it only hurts a little because you're brain is confused but it goes away shortly with no side effects whatsoever! Except Mrs.e will appear as a gaping whole when you remember this.
π: 0 β©: 1
Luigifan: About that... I don't like secrets. Which is why I already e-mailed that information to everyone who was on board the mech. So even if you erase those memories, we'll just get them back.
Maid: ... ... ...I see...
Margaret: What information?
Luigifan: *Luigifan starts to speak, but doesn't even get one syllable out before being interrupted.*
Flora: Luigifan, I think she really would prefer that we at least don't spread it to anyone else-
Maid: Which is why if I find anyone who wasn't in that mech today or already aware of the fact with knowledge of my true name, I will thrash them so utterly that their entrails are launched across the planet.
Luigifan: ... ... ... *Luigifan promptly runs away screaming.*
Margaret: ... ... ...On second thought, never mind. I don't want my innards launched across the horizon, thank you very much.
Annie: *sigh* Knowing Luigifan, he might blab anyways. Don't worry, we'll convince him that it doesn't hurt anyone for your identity to remain hidden. And that it might hurt people if it got out. And I swear on my honor that nobody except for us will know.
[I am really, really sorry for putting words in the maid's mouth, but that over-the-top threat is completely in-character for her and way too funny to not get used at least once (and Luigifan's reaction was great too). It was originally going to be "wrapped up so tight that your guts will be shot out of your head like a cannonball", but that would allude to the fact that she's a drider and thus make it patently obvious that she's Devin.]
π: 0 β©: 1
[Not to mention she's missing bits and pieces of this and that]
Maid: Now then, given that you have revealed yourselves to be THE worst secret keepers in the world I think now would be a good time to let you all know that I personally hate every last one of you now. And that secret, you can spread. Come Nessie, Damien is probably sulking in the corner thinking you "ran away" right now.
Nessie: Bye all!*Nessie and the Maid return to their time*
Tori: I get the feeling that she really means those spiteful words...
Matt:*continues sobbing*
π: 0 β©: 1
Annie: 
Flora: Too long... I'm sure the others are getting worried about us.
Margaret: *looking around* Dang it, where the heck did I leave Randy... *shouting* Randy, can you hear me?
Sonja: I'll just call Damien to let him know we're coming...
*meanwhile*
Damien: Well, we got everything for my concert... But where the heck are all your friends?
Rudy:
Damien: ...WHAT?!? Why did nobody tell me about this earlier- *gets a phone call* Huh?
Sonja: Hey Damien. Sorry we were missing for so long... There was an incident. We're on our way back-
Damien: Sonja... 
Reuben: Back off, Damien-
Crimson: Are you flirting with her again?!?
Sonja: ...
Damien: >_<; *sigh* Uh... Right. Where are you?
Sonja: Out in the middle of a cornfield. Margaret's trying to help us get our bearings. We'll be back soon. I hope your concert preparations are going well!
π: 0 β©: 1
Tori: Wait. We have to go back to the place with the funny eared mice!
Matt: Wait, why is that again?
Tori: We left Tora there remember? After getting stung like half a dozen times!
Matt: Oh crap... That is not going to be good.
*meanwhile*
Ben: Getting out of a cornfield is simple, you just pick a direction and choose. We should be back with the rest especially soon.
Anya: And it's go even faster if we set the corn on fire!
Ben: Personally, I'd rather live, Anya.
π: 0 β©: 1
Margaret: *finding Anya* Oh, there you are! *points to Empire City* Empire City is that way. I have to rejoin the others now. *kisses Randy* See you again soon, my love! *Margaret sprouts wings of electricity and takes off.*
Randy:
Cassandra: Please tell me you weren't serious about igniting the corn.
Luigifan: *crashes into Anya* ... ...Well. This is awkward. *gets back up* Which way to Empire City?
*meanwhile*
Margaret: *relocating Annie and the others* All right, I found the way back! Follow me! *Margaret begins walking towards Empire City.*
Lindsay: But what about Tora?
Margaret: What about Tora?
Annie: She's still paralyzed and infested with those wasp eggs...
Margaret: What?!? *shudders* Ugh... Annie, could you open a portal to the Pikachu Cave and take care of that? I do not want Tora spending another minute suffering like I did!
Annie: Sure... I'll meet you in Empire City, then. *opens a portal and warps to the Pikachu Cave*
*meanwhile*
Annie: *arrives to see the Pichus trying to hold a funeral for Tora... and Boar apparently having been dragged to the Pikachu Cave to perform the eulogy* ...I'm not going to ask...
Isaac: *blankly staring at the Pichus*
Dandelion: ...Oh, good, Aunt Annie's here! No need for a funeral, guys!
*meanwhile*
Mysto: *has locked Altair up in the dungeons of Bowser's Castle and is currently torturing him* Why... won't... you... die?!?
π: 0 β©: 1
Boar: Hrrrng... (I thought I might finally have been able to ditch the drunkard. But... why do I feel... Relieved?)
Anya: Don't worry, I'm going to use science!*like with Margaret she begins sending her nanomachines into Tora to neutralize the poison and destroy any eggs the wasps might have laid*
Tori: You must be really happy to learn that Tora is going to die, brother.
Boar: Yes. Very much so.
Ben: Though I'm amazed that pichus could find and drag you all the way here.
*meanwhile*
Altair: Because... I... am... a... servent... of... GOD!!! I will never fall to your torture, witch!
π: 0 β©: 1
Annie: Ben? Anya? I thought you were with Randy and Cassandra- *Boar makes his remark* WHAT THE?!?
Pichus: *look offended*
Annie: Boar, how can you say that about your sister?!? I know siblings squabble a lot - I've had my disagreements with all of my brothers and sisters. But we still stand by each other through thick and thin, because that's what siblings do! They support each other!!!! There was a time, long ago, when I believed that all seven of my siblings were dead, rent asunder by the jaws of the Dastardly Pack.
*meanwhile*
Luigifan: ...
Randy: So, Ben and Anya bailed on us?
Cassandra: Looks like it. We'll meet them back at the city.
Felicia: I'm just glad Margaret's all right...
*meanwhile*
Sonja: I hope Tora will be all right...
Margaret: Annie's on it. She'll be fine.
Sonja: I know... I'm just worried. How long have those wasp eggs been in there... Wait, never mind, it would take several weeks for them to hatch. We had plenty of time.
Flora: That's probably why Andross tried to take us away in the first place - so that our friends wouldn't be able to find us and get those eggs out... *Flora shudders in dismay at the unpleasant mental image she's just given herself.*
Phillip: 
Flora: I'm fine, dear. Let's just get going.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ben: We followed Margaret. Wasn't that what she wanted us to do?*notices Luigifan, Randy, and Cassandra were left behind* Oops...
Boar: Of course I care. Why wouldn't I feel miserable that she was dying?!
Tori: He did say he was relieved when Anya arrived and I told him that Tora would live.
Ben: You said "is dying". Not "Isn't dying'.
Boar: See! Tori simply misspoke and I heard what she wanted to say because I was grieving!
Tori: Sorry.
π: 0 β©: 1
Annie: ... ... ...Oh.
Pichus:
*meanwhile*
Felicia: Maybe we should regroup with the others...
Randy: Good idea...
Luigifan: Should I use a Flame Strike to let them know where we are?
Cassandra: NO.
*meanwhile*
Phillip: I hope my big brother's all right...
Margaret:
Lillian: Ah, that's a relief.

Tori: Well anyway, I'm just glad that Tora won't be dying anytime soon.
Boar: (Damnit concious... We finally get to remove Tora from our lives and yet here you are. just sitting here waiting for her to return to her alcoholic rampages! She's dangerous, she's... She's.. She's my little sister... The one who used to look up to me and followed me around. The one who came before Tori and brightened many a horrible day.)
Ben: Boar, are you. Are you crying?
Boar: Th-This place is just dusty! Some of it flew into my eye!
Ben: Admit it, you're not just relieved, you're super relieved.
Tori: Brother must have really held Tora in an important place in his heart.
Anya:*chuckles as she heals Tora*

Pretty sure Matt's with the main group in the cornfield...

Wait, if he was in the Armored Core, why is he suddenly in the cornfield?
π: 0 β©: 1
Because after the Armored Core exploded, he started walking back with the others. Tori was originally doing that, too, but she took a detour to the Pikachu Cave.

...Are we continuing this one?

Take a coin, flip it, if heads then yes, if tails then also yes. Side doesn't count.

Β The answer was yes. I'm trying to make a joke way of saying it.

All right... When are we continuing?

After Blindly Fooling thyself because I accidentally closed the wrong reply.

Annie: Awww, I knew you really did care.
Dandelion:
Isaac: ...What just happened?
*meanwhile*
Cassandra: *explaining what happened to Margaret*
Phillip: You're saying what happened to Margaret?
Flora:
Lillian: Oh... Oh dear...
Margaret: Yeah. I got stung on my way to help you guys, landed in a cornfield, and was stuck there, unable to move...Β utterly helpless, unable to so much as even call for help, and knowing that full well that I'd be eaten alive if nobody found me... and I was hidden from sight!Β If Ben didn't stumble upon me...
Felicia: Oh dear...
Randy: 
Margaret: I know... 
Randy: I love you, Β too. And I'm glad that I'm able to be here at your side.
Margaret:
Sonja:
Reuben: 
Sonja:
Reuben: ...Sonja... please... Calm down... *Reuben takes Sonja in his arms, holding her close, and begins gently stroking her to calm her down.*
Sonja: Reuben... mmm... 
Cassandra: Hey, pull yourself together, sis! You were so calm in that mech; why are you breaking down now?
*Flora, Lindsay, and Margaret all glare at Cassandra, looking insulted.*
Lindsay: That poison not only completely immobilized me, it freaking hurt! And... I could feel the eggs squirming inside me... *shudder* And I'm sure Sonja, Flora, Margaret - and, yes, Tora and Luigifan, too - went through the same thing.
Luther:
Lindsay:
Luigifan: ...
Cassandra: Hey! The danger's already passed! So why are people weeping in terror now?!?
Randy: *Randy turns to answer Cassandra's question, but continues to rub Margaret's tummy as he does so.* My guess? Sonja knows better than to panic during a crisis. But now that the danger has passed, she can let it all out without compromising her chances of survival.
Sonja:
Randy: Well, a previous holder of the Philosopher's Necklace, who, funnily enough, was named Cassandra, was much the same way. So I guessed that you might have inherited some of her characteristics - calm and capable of bottling up one's feelings while in danger, only to release them when the danger had passed. After all, it's not good for a person to hold on to pent-up emotions.
Luigifan: A person named Cassandra with the power to see the future. How stereotypical.
Randy: *chuckling* I know.
Flora: *being comforted by Phillip in the background* I'm okay. Those nasty bugs aren't around anymore. I'll be fine, sweetie...
Sonja:
Randy: Well, I have done quite a bit of research on the Belnades clan...
Cassandra: That is slightly creepy.
Randy: Um... Uh... Excuse me, my girlfriend still needs some tender loving care. *Randy shifts his attention back to Margaret, who is beginning to calm down, but is still highly emotional at the moment.*
Margaret: Oh, Randy... I was so afraid that we'd be separated... I'm so glad to be yours...
Randy: *Randy is a bit concerned about Margaret's behavior, noticing that she's still highly dependent on him, but at the moment, decides that he's too glad that she's still alive and by his side to let that bother him. He continues to gently caress her to help her regain her composure.*
Felicia: *Felicia has also noticed Margaret's extreme dependency on Randy from the way she phrased her last several sentences, but doesn't say anything, knowing that it's an issue to be tackled at a later date.*
Sonja:
Reuben: Are you okay, darling?
Sonja: I'm fine. I... I just... heh. I'm not like Cassandra. I can't maintain a facade of fearlessness forever. I'll admit - being poisoned and infested by those wasps and stashed away in Bowser's Castle, knowing exactly what would become of me if I wasn't cured, was terrifying. I couldn't show it while poisoned, and once the poison and eggs were taken care of, I was much too concerned with making sure everyone got out safely to worry about how afraid I was. But being reminded of what it was like now, when they're no longer a threat... *sigh* That made me lose my composure. Sorry.
Reuben: It's all right. I'm just glad that you're safe and sound. *Reuben holds Sonja close and kisses her before letting her go.*
Sonja:
Reuben: 
Sonja:
Margaret: *Margaret is still trying to calm herself down; she's much calmer than she was a few minutes ago, but still rather distraught.* Um... Yeah... I just need a few moments...
Felicia: You'll have to forgive my little sister... Her emotions have always been rather intense. Everything she feels, from joy to fear to anger to sorrow, is a bit... exaggerated.
Luigifan: Uh... Guys? I don't remember... Did we heal Cosmo? She might still be poisoned. And Lindsay's right. That poison friggin' hurt. I'm quite surprised that I didn't start howling in pain the moment I was able to. If Cosmo's still feeling that stuff... well, it's gotta be really unpleasant, and I don't want to let her suffer any longer.
Luther: I think she was healed...
Flora: Y-yeah, she helped protect the mech after Matt zonked out on us...
Luigifan: I just want to be sure. I'd hate to leave her in such intense, unbearable agony.
