Rinoa's screech could be heard for miles.
Or at least up the hall.
"Selphieeeeeeeeeeee!!!"
Flail locked and loaded, (even though it technically didn't use ammo, you couldn't just say ready to start swingin' a chained stick. That didn't have the same action hero ring. ) Selphie pounded up the hall to the dormitory wing to save her friend. She was glad she had on her lucky bunny slippers. She could really kick ass with Fluffy and Killer attached to her feet. Finally reaching her panicked buddy, she slid to a stop and assumed a patented ninja-pose-of-death.
"What's wrong?! Where's the villain?!"
Calmer now that she had someone with her, Rinoa tried to explain the situation. "It's just...Ow!"
Hand stinging from the slap to Rinoa's cheek, Selphie barked, "Rinoa! Calm down, woman! Tell me what's going on!"
"You hit me!"
"Shh! You're hysterical!"
"I am not! I was actually better since..."
"Shh! That doesn't matter right now! There's an evil villain wreaking havoc and I..."
Exasperated, Rinoa covered her eyes and once again tried to tell Selphie what Xu told her about Quistis over the phone. "There's no villain. It's her tongue..."
Selphie's eyes widened in excitement. "Ooooh! It's been torn out by a ghoul from beyond the graaaaave and now it's lying on the carpet in a ghastly puddle of bloooood! Neat!"
Rinoa peeked at Selphie through the gaps in her fingers. "What?"
"Er, I meant...tragic."
"It's not been torn out by a ghoul, Selphie."
Selphie opened her mouth to respond, but was interrupted by a loud string of creative curse words from behind the door.
"Eeep! The villainous ghoul strikes! Avast me hearties! We've got some names to take and some ass to kick! Let's burn rubber! Come on Rin! We've got to avenge!"
Rinoa watched Selphie kick the door for a long, bewildered moment. She wasn't sure if she had ever heard so many action movie clichés used in a single rallying cry before. "What? Avenge who?"
"That doesn't matter now! Help me break down the drawbridge so we can traverse the moat and..."
"It's automatic, Selphie. We just have to hit the button."
Selphie stopped kicking with one be-bunnied foot in the air. "Oh yeah. Well, uh....hit that button, Sister Mary!"
Rinoa pressed the button and waited outside while Selphie ran in to save Quistis and Xu from...
"EEEEEEEP!!!! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO DOING?!"
Rinoa thought she heard something about an ice spell and cherry lip gloss, but she wasn't sure.
"HOW DID YOU GET YOUR FACE STUCK THERE, QUISTY?!"
There was another mumbled response, but it was Quistis that tried to answer this time and Rinoa knew for a fact that she wasn't in the best position to give one of her lengthy answers.
"NO! DON'T PULL! XU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO WALK AGAIN! HOLD ON! I'LL GET SOME WARM WATER!"
Rinoa heard a splash.
"WELL, IT ISN'T MY FAULT THAT YOU DIDN'T SHAVE, XU!"
Rinoa shook her head and closed the door.
