{OOC: Because Jay hadn't greeted anyone yet...and I thought Jay/Dist might be interesting

[runnyrose]

[Dist yelped in surprise at the first attack, having been too absorbed in his own problems to notice someone else approaching. He flattened himself against the tree and stared, stammering a bit, as his rescuer took down the monsters. But when the boy boasted about how weak the monsters were, Dist bristled. He brushed some dirt off his coat (mentally adding messing up his clothes to the list of offenses committed by his mysterious abductor) and glared back at him.]

Well?! What are you staring at? Do you think it's amusing to see someone of my stature being terrorized by monsters? You needn't have interfered, you know! I had matters well under control!

[iknowjj]

[Jay blinked at the man for a moment. This guy was an idiot, no doubt about that. Nothing like Solon at all.]

Sure you did...that's why you were crying out for help, right?

And I'm afraid I know nothing of your "stature." Care to enlighten me?

[runnyrose]

I was certainly not "crying out for help!" I - I was merely intimidating the monsters with a fearsome battle cry! [That's his story and he's sticking to it.

His mouth drops open when the boy says he doesn't know him.] You're unaware of my wonderful self? Well, I suppose that's only to be expected from an ignorant savage... Very well, I'll tell you! I'm the most gorgeous and brilliant of the Six God Generals, the preeminent genius Dist the Rose!

{Intro Thread, now with added Idiot! :D}

[pick_up_artist]

[Until recently, Zelos had been standing in Blessenwood forest looking like his brain had been short-circuited. Ion had really done a number on his psyche, though it had been Zelos' own fault for assuming the Fon Master was a girl.]

[But now he was running... staggering... oh dear, tripping through the forest. Someone - a pretty young girl, judging by the pitch - had screamed loudly enough to snap him out of his stupor.]

Don't worry hunny, I'm here to save you~! ♥

[... And then the toe of his boot caught ahold a tree root, sending him tumbling toward Dist and Jay.]

{Lovely! Idiot, meet other idiot!}

[runnyrose]

[Dist was not at all happy with Jay's explanation. He wound himself up for a good rant, not noticing that someone else was crashing through the woods towards them.]

Are you implying that I, the greatest genius in all of Auldrant, am not good enough for you? Why, if I thought it was worth the effort, I could certainly save any world at all! Not that that will be necessary, as what you're saying is absurd. Stop making up idiotic stories and tell me what's really going on!

[And then someone fell right into him. Dist, caught off balance, toppled over too, letting out another (very manly and certainly not girly at all) scream.]

You oaf! What do you think you're doing?!

Dammit, not another guy! >|

[pick_up_artist]

[Zelos found himself lying face-down on top of the person who had screamed earlier. He was about to make a wisecrack about her beautiful eyes, when he noticed a distinct lack of... chest.]

[Needless to say, he got off of Dist in record time.]

Augh! You're a guy, too! (Today is just not my day.)

[He dusted off his jacket and picked a bit of moss out of his hair. It was the closest Zelos could come to composing himself, now that Dist had insulted him.]

What do you think you're doing, screaming like that? Are you trying to make me go deaf? Or are you just not man enough to deal with a couple harmless monsters?

Re: Dammit, not another guy! >|

[runnyrose]

Of course I'm a man! What were you expecting?

[Dist also gets up and dusts himself off, looking extremely indignant. His poor clothes. Who knew when he would be able to find suitable replacements in this no-doubt-uncivilized place?]

Those monsters caught me by surprise, that's all! I would have been fine on my own! Anyway, it's hardly my fault that someone's kidnapped me and left me without my weapons. If I had my Kaiser Dist with me, you'd all be singing a different tune!

[iknowjj]

[Jay turned his back, closing his eyes.] Well then...if you don't believe me, then you wouldn't believe me even if I told you where Colonel Jade was. Therefore, I see no reason to tell you anything else.

[He paused for a moment before turning to face the insane God-General again.] Whatever shall I do with you?

[runnyrose]

Wh - hey! You impertinent brat!

[Argh, this brat! Dist still didn't know what to think about his crazy story about "other worlds" and "summon spirits," but Jay obviously did know something about Jade, and some information was better than no information. (By the way, when did this become all about Jade, again?)]

... Fine! I'll accept your story for now, so tell me! How can I find Jade?!

[iknowjj]

(He still doesn't believe me...)

[It was obvious by the tone of his voice that Dist still didn't believe him. Oh well, it didn't matter...]

Colonel Jade is...busy at the moment. I'm afraid I don't know where he's gone...so we'll have to wait for him to return.

(But I don't want to bring this guy to Blessenwood...or any town, for that matter...)

[runnyrose]

But you claim he will return here? [Well, if there was one thing Dist was good at, it was stalking locating Jade. He would find him eventually no matter what Jay said or didn't say.]

What on earth is he doing around here, anyway, wherever "here" is? I told him to come to Keterberg!
