Roof
Homura: (starts to lunge to grab the retreating Shantae, the "fury" in her eyes flashing red for a moment before she stops, her hand still outstretched) Well, they did. Three nights I had to sleep next to Sayaka's bed because she kept having nightmares about the fire their malfunction started!
The damned queen and the relentless knight...Y... yeah. I guess all that I can really do is wishful thinking, in absence of any evidence.
-he sees it's Sagi, and goes quiet out of fright-
-will they remember him? Would they be happy to see him?-
-he swallows nervously, and gives a tentative wave from where he's seated-
H— hey! Over here!
UN JOUR JE SERAI DE RETOUR PRÈS DE TOI"What the-?! Okay, no way! Uncle Mimic's never messed up an invention! Okay, well once but that one was sabotaged!"
-As Shantae says this, she safely retreats under a large canopy on the roof-
-...Wait how long has that been up here?-
"Kinda think that qualifies as genocide in hindsight..."
"Huh...?"
"I know that voice...Tarvok, right?"
"Marno, that's Rennor!"
"My second guess, totally my second guess!"

"H-how much was it, again...?"
"Yes! The plans were stolen and swapped out for a fake pair by-"
-Shantae is cut off by the canopy collapsing on top of her, the fabric wrapping around the half-genie as it also spontaneously produces chains to restrain her completely-
-And a laugh from nearby...-
"Ooooohohohoho!"
"Risky Boots?!"

-That is one way of responding to what life throws at you...-
"I guess I get what you're saying..."
-She's had her moments when she just wanted to say 'screw it'.-
-That's one reason she isn't extremely worried about getting home. She wants to enjoy the time away from it while she can.-
-...Of course she does worry about it still, but she's something of an escapist, and honestly being stuck in a place like this is a very interesting experience for her.-
I keep the bill rolled up right here, actually.
-He pulls out a roll of parchment-
-....Which is kept shut with metal chains and a huge padlock-
-He undoes the padlock, and the chain, and let's the parchment roll out-
-And roll-
-And roll-
-And roll-
-And roll-
-and roll-
-and roll-
-and roll-
-and roll-
-and roll....-
-and roll....-
-and roll....-
-It's disappeared off your field of vision and it's still going-
Zhe question at zhat point, Rennor- is vhy?
-to Sagi and Marno- ... Okay, so I know you know Rennor.
But who zhe fuck? I have no memory of a guy and his real voice inside his head buddy.
Yeah... besides.
Don't have anyone else to fall on, regardless.

1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this postA purple woman in a skull-themed ensemble
stands on top of the roof, having apparently arrived there unnoticed-
-As if in answer to Homura's Beretta, she her own pistol ready to fire-
"I knew one of my traps would get you! You thought you could hide your secret alliances in this space between worlds, didn't you?"
"You booby-trapped random pieces of furniture just to get me?!"
"Maybe I did, and maybe I didn't."
-9-
"We go, uh...way back. Years, actually. Marno."
"I'm Sagi."
-Nephew-
"Septillions?! Who do I look like, some kind of immoral CEO? I don't have that kind of money!"
"I was wondering what she was doing asking the mermaid queen for help, so I looked into it. Prosthetic mermaid legs, clearly some kind of idiotic ploy. A power grab for the mermaids' help, maybe? Or some kind of business venture. All I knew was that if I had the opportunity to make this little worm suffer for getting in my way, I wasn't passing it up."
"So uh...how've you been, Rennor?"
"Guessing you met the doc in our, uh...extended absence, huh?"

-Jean nearly chuckles, actually.-
"I'm amazed you can still joke..."
-She can imagine her sense of humor being gone if all of that happened to her.-
