first gunshot

Sep 20, 2009 19:21

After months of searching, Gareki had finally found what he was looking for. Out on the outskirts of that deserted town was a plane, a plane from Circus. More importantly, the plane that he had been on to get to Rinoru.

"... about damn time," he muttered as he approached the broken metal contraption. The majority of it was still intact, if a bit rusted and scratched. He could work with that.

Approaching one of the wings, he began his examination. Nothing wrong with it, and lookinat the rest of the plane, he could assume that it wasn't an attack that made it crash. "Probably an engine failure... I could probably get this up and running if I can find a pilot," he mused thoughtfully.

"Baa!"

He froze. Did he just hear what he thought he heard? He hoped it was his imagination. Turning his head, he found that it was not.

One of the black sheep from Circus was staring at him, with the same blank eyes as always. Already Gareki was starting to recall a few bad memories.

"You're not permitted to touch that -baa," came the automatic response.

And despite the fact that he should've known better, Gareki retorted with a scoff and proceeded to light one of the small firecrackers he kept with him. After all, he had to save the bullets in his gun. Rolling the firecracker over, it popped as he spoke, "I'm just taking a look at it."

It caught the sheep slightly off guard, but it only stepped back before looking back at him.

Then he had this sudden feeling of deja vu.

"You are not permitted to touch that -baa. Please leave the premises -baa," the robot said again, this time demanding that he leave entirely.

But stubborn Gareki would budge as he lit a few more, and they exploded around the sheep's feet. It gave a couple angered 'baa' noises but didn't do anything as he continued to examine the plane.

"Please leave the premises -baa." Again the message fell on deaf ears.

"Please leave the premises -baa." ... wait. was it louder that time?

Glancing toward the sheep, albeit a bit hesitantly, Gareki was not plesed when he found another one of them had popped up.

"Please leave the premises -baa."

But Gareki couldn't give a sarcastic response this time, or bother to light any more firecrackers, too occupied with how more and more sheep were streaming out of the plane.

Please

And the crowding began.

There was that sinking feeling.

He felt his feet leave the ground as the sheep gathered around him.

-baa.

He was tossed into open air, with the final curse of, "Damn sheep!!"

[That was more traumatizing than it looked, considering how GAreki looks relieved when he realizes that was a dream. Sure, he's back to square one about getting home, but it's square one without robotic sheep. He's just about to shut off the dreamberry and ignore any questions about the weird-as-hell dream before noticing something off. He feels way too drowsy and what he last remembered doing was like a distant memory.]

How long have I been asleep?

[There's some shuffling as he leaves the device alone for a while, but a few shouts of "Nai!" can be heard in the background. Suddenly he's back and glaring at the Dreamberry.]

Who's the ass who thought it would be funny to steal the albino kid?

!voice, !dream, worst babysitter ever, where the hell is nai, !ic
