She's not looking...Now's my chance!

Ahem...If there are any dashing heroes out there who feel like rescuing poor little me from a cruel tyrant, I'm waiting! Yes, I'm in the clutches of an evil, abusive witch. She makes me work nonstop, for days at a time, until I just can't go on...She thinks slapping a little duct tape on me will make everything

Rita?

...What are you going to do to them?

[blastiafreak]

I'm going to draw some permanent formula crests by scoring with a torch, then they'll be put through some endurance tests. I'm going to see just how long they can last.

[stargathering]

[ Rita, he thought you were a decent person. ]

You can't do things like that!

[blastiafreak]

[But it's for science!]

Why not? Even if they break, I've got plenty more.

[stargathering]

That doesn't make it okay! You can't just use them and throw them away!

[blastiafreak]

I'm not going to throw them away. They can still be used for other tests, or for spare material.

[stargathering]

"Spare material"?

[blastiafreak]

Even if they're broken on the outside, most of the inside should be salvageable. The rest I can melt down.

[stargathering]

[ The mental images Tyr is having are horrible. ] "Melt"? What exactly are you working with?

[blastiafreak]

[Imagine, Tyr--it could be you!] A variety of test subjects. I need to observe their limit and determine the best one for the more extreme tests...

[stargathering]

[ It could! Tyr hates being a hero, but ugh. ] How can you be so nonchalant about this? I don't care how important the research is - you can't do those things!

[blastiafreak]

What's your problem? It's not like they aren't expendable!

[stargathering]

What is wrong with you, Rita?

[ off-screen: ] Come on, Jowy.

[ Yes, he is going to drag Jowy along to play hero. Never mind they both use staffs. They have MAGICS anyway. ]

[blastiafreak]

What the hell's wrong with you? You're acting like this is all something new.

[The more the merrier...or angrier, as they'll probably all be when they realize what's really going on.]

[stargathering]

This isn't really how you conduct yourselves in your world, is it?

[ They will be angry! Even if it'll be funny to Tyr, too. ]

[blastiafreak]

Of course it is. Don't be stupid.

[At least someone will be amused!]
