7th Trial [Action/Voice]

[cry_camellia]

[EGAD! There's trouble at the old orphanage! ...Miss Litchi's post-earthquake orphanage-type house, that is. And trouble may come in many forms, but none so devastating as that of the tiny Boundary panda that had crept into Tsubaki's room and was now blocking the only exit.

There's no escape.]S-Stay back, fiend! You may have the others fooled,

[Goroh is traversing the hallway, heading to his room, having decided he's done his part fighting monsters today. Only there's an annoying panda in the way. Normally he'd consider kicking it out of the way, but this little bastard is vicious. And Tsubaki would rat him out.]

Litchi's damn pet..

[cry_camellia]

[Actually... she really wouldn't. Do your worst, Goroh.]

C-Careful! That thing is as evil and wretched as they come.

[moonlightoutlaw]

[Goroh looks down at the tiny panda and frowns.]

I dunno about evil, but it's an annoying little bastard. [Hmm, maybe he could adjust the settings on his blaster to stun.]

[cry_camellia]

[Try KILL.]

...You can see through its deceptive appearance? Has it wronged you, too?

[moonlightoutlaw]

It bit me. [He crouches down, fixing that panda with full Goroh fury.]

Scram, you little pest. You remember how this went down last time, right?

[cry_camellia]

Don't underestimate it.

...I came prepared, this time.

[And she is indeed brandishing a large net.]

[moonlightoutlaw]

[... well well well. Goroh backs up.]

By all means.

[cry_camellia]

[Tsubaki cautiously passes by him to approach a now cowering Lao Jiu.]

Nice try, demon. [Raising the net.] But I wan't fall victim to your tricks! [After staring it down for a while longer, she finally summons the courage to swing the net and scoop the panda up.

...SUCCESS?]

[moonlightoutlaw]

[Yeesh. Tsubaki gets carried away with this kind of stuff.]

Well, you get 'em?

[cry_camellia]

[She even had her eyes squeezed shut while swinging the net, so she has to slowly open one while holding that net as far away from her as possible to see whether she actually got him or not. The extra weight should of course be some indication, but she's not thinking straight. There's a PANDA nearby.]

Uhh... yes! I got him! But... now what?

[moonlightoutlaw]

[Goroh considers for a moment, then takes a step back and opens the linens closet.]

Here, put him in here. [He cautiously looks around to make sure Litchi doesn't walk in on this.]

[cry_camellia]

[Tsubaki looks around too. That panda definitely deserves it, but she doesn't really want to upset miss Litchi... Oh, what the hell. It's just going to teach him a little lesson, that's all.

She swiftly tosses the whole net inside.]

...What'll we do when Miss Litchi comes looking for him, though?

[moonlightoutlaw]

[Goroh swiftly closes the closet door.]

I'll let him out later. [Probably as soon as Tsubaki is gone. Goroh isn't that much of a bastard, even if he wants people to think so.] Litchi never has to know.

[cry_camellia]

All right. I feel bad about this but... honestly, he had it coming.

[moonlightoutlaw]

Right... What exactly did he do to you anyway?

[cry_camellia]

[...]

It... wasn't him specifically. But p-pandas, they're... they... [Tsubaki covers her eyes with her hands and makes a futile attempt to go back to breathing normally.]

I HATE PANDAS.
