[It's only a phone call this time, though the caller sounds rather irate. Then again, why shouldn't he? He's just been set all the way back to Level 1, after all, and to top it off, he's lost his sword and his Ice spells. Of course he'd be mad about it.]

What the hell is going on here?! I thought we were already done with losing things we just got ( Read more... )

[ACTION]

[He was down in the basement when it happened. One moment he was researching madly, the next...it happened in an instant: above, he heard something, and had to investigate ( Read more... )

[ACTION; somewhere in town]

[When Mao got himself some mushrooms a day ago, it wasn't with the intention of eating them. Oh, no, he was going to experiment on them. Unfortunately he left them out in the open where the drone!mom could get to it and use it in his food.]

( cut for length )

[ACTION; school]

[Oh, hey, look, Mao is actually attending school for once. This is weird by itself already, since he only comes to school every three days to avoid droning, but even when he shows up he's getting himself in detention and making smartass remarks when towards the teachers ( Read more... )

[PHONE]

Does anyone know the best way to keep a particular drone from interfering in your research? I locked him in the closet but he keeps getting out. He's interrupting a very important experiment!

[He huffs. At least when Letty was droned he didn't have to worry all that much about her interrupting, since she just seemed to not notice him ( Read more... )

[...Mao has definitely not checked on things lately, save for in comic books and other such things. The fact that he has basically defied the golden rule by drinking the milk (though he was...distracted at the time) is a testament to this ( Read more... )

[Mao's...not very pleased about what's going on. He's getting pretty sick of the whole "everybody's telling the truth" thing, which, unbeknownst to the poor guy himself, is going to happen to him once he gets asked a question.

Let the fireworks begin.]

[PHONE]All right, what's with all these sudden confessions? Why is this whole town suddenly ( Read more... )

[When Mao woke up today, he went straight off to bed again, but got woken up by his mother (who really should keep her nose out of his business) and made to eat breakfast with the rest of the family. As far as he knows, there's nothing wrong with this--it's just an ordinary day, after all, and he hates it.

It's stupid and it's ordinary and he ( Read more... )

[So, today, Mao woke up and found out, from his drone mother, that he was a movie usher, and always had been so could he please stop claiming that he was the Dean of some silly Evil Academy already, he wasn't the Dean of anything ( Read more... )

[ACTION, 841 HASTINGS BOULEVARD]

[Mao didn't recall going to sleep last night. In fact, if he could recall, he was going to get his precious item back from the legendary Overlord (accompanied by his servants and some people he hadn't seen before), and was still in the process of doing so ( Read more... )
