Re: Chapter 02: The Crazy Ex

Kevin chuckles at Nivi and Juros' kiddy antics and plays along, making bubbles with his glass.  To Harriet's worried look he smiles brightly and offers his signature aloha handsign.

"Radical!  Like, it was killin me to know it wasn't some super spy mission or some junk, hahahah.  Thata been like, woah!  Hahahah.  You dig snow dudes, then?  Hah.  My friends say I did well for a list minute entry, hah.  Like, your boyfriend's trash talk made me wunna beat him sooo bad, hahahahah!  But had fun either way hah."

He pretend to do a few skiing zig-zag while making SHhh-SHhh-SHhh sounds.

Re: Chapter 02: The Crazy Ex

Juros suddenly falls into a hole that materialized in the floor. "EEK!" The hole just as quickly closes. Nivi double-takes. "Juros?! Juros! Where are you?!"

She hops to her feet. Harriot looks terrified by the sudden turn of events.

A paper airplane flies into the room and lands on the table.

Should anyone grab it and unfold it, it's a note that reads: "If you want your friend back, tell Gaither to meet me at these coordinates:" and a set of coordinates on planet Tharia are given.

Re: Chapter 02: The Crazy Ex

  Hakkof considers punching a hole through the floor, but fortunately has enough common sense to realize it was probably freaking teleportation or something, and not a literal hole in the floor... Wait, that's common sense?

  He picks up the letter (in case it explodes), and after reading it to the crowd says "Well... How unfortunate for Juros.  I suppose we could resort to kidnapping in order to meet the demands of kidnappers."

  Because asking nicely will totally work, right.

Re: Chapter 02: The Crazy Ex

"Woah!" Kevin gasps, "Juros!  No way!"

He pats the ground where Juros was, looking for a trap door.  After Hakof reads the note, Kevin thinks for a bit.

"Dude...  This is like, totally serious stuff!  We should like, totally call the cops or something.  But I don't get why they'd kidnap Juros and not Harriot."

Re: Chapter 02: The Crazy Ex

Nivi double-checks the note. "...it doesn't say anything about kidnapping, Hakkof. Just to tell Gaither to meet them at a location. We tell Gaither, then we go to the location. Weather Gaither shows up or not, we've done what the note asked."

Hariot says, "Oh...dear... I'm sooo sorry! I don't know what to do!" she is too distraught to point out how naive the blissian is being.

Re: Chapter 02: The Crazy Ex

  Hakkof reminds himself that he is too professional to facepalm on the job.  "While I can appreciate taking things that literally, it is generally implied what they want has to actually show up when it comes to this sort of demand.  Asking nicely does not seem to be something that would work."

  He turns to Harriot.  He has some ideas, but prefers not to voice them just yet.

Re: Chapter 02: The Crazy Ex

Kevin head-tilts in confusion at Harriot.

"Woah, like, chill, babe.  Like, none of this is your fault... right?  But for what to do, you can like, let us use your phone to call the cops."

Re: Chapter 02: The Crazy Ex

Harriot is more than willing to let them use her phone. Soon, the cops arrive and Nivi explains what's going on. The cops search the house, use various tools to try and detect what might have happened, and question each person in the house.

About 2 hours later, the cops tell the group they'll look into it and they leave.

Nivi is nibbling on her fingertips with worry. Harriot just looks down. Through the interrogation, both girls had to cry at some point and Harriot made it obvious how much she felt it was her fault. But the cops pretty well cleared anyone here of suspicion.

Re: Chapter 02: The Crazy Ex

 "That went about as expected."  Though still probably better than never telling the police what happened, we guess.   "So, when do we leave to start dealing with this ourselves?"  He's not going to outright ask 'when do we kidnap our recent Ski Rival/Customer to use as bait for the Ex-Girlfriend' in front of the CURRENT Girlfriend.  That would be silly.

Re: Chapter 02: The Crazy Ex

Not that he doesn't care at all for Harriet, but Kevin is much more concerned over Nivi's tears and is sure to try and comfort her.  He does his best to remind Harriet that unless she took part in the plot to kidnap Juros, it's like, totally not her fault.  He was also sure to ask the police lots of questions about how kidnappers are found, what he and his friends can do to help the investigation, what they shouldn't do that would get in the way, and especially whether they should meet the demands of the kidnappers.

Depending on the answers, Kevin will suggest, "For starters we should like, totally have Harriet call her boyfriend."

Re: Chapter 02: The Crazy Ex

Nivi, typical of blissians, totally leaned on anyone who hugged her. Currently, shes nibbling on her fingertips, pondering. "I... yeah, sure."

One phonecall later, Harriot has the phone on speaker. The situation is explained.

Gaither says, "...sorry, guys. But hey, I'm wiring your payment to you now. Far as helping you get your guy back, well, sure. Maybe we can set up a sting or something. I'll go to the police and see about working with them. She's never gone this far, and now that she has, jail is totally where she needs to be. For her safety and everyone else's around her."

 "Is this normal for relationships, or is she just particularly clingy?"  Or when he dumped her, was it off of a ski lift?

Re: Chapter 02: The Crazy Ex

Kevin is surprised and impressed that boyfriend dude offered to help catch the ex he was trying to avoid.  But probably best not to say anything about that.

"Chick's like, totally out of her gourd, dude.  She even like, totally nabbed the wrong person.  Woulda like, made way more sense to nab the girlfriend, not the delivery dude.  At least she can't like, nab more than one dude at a time."

Re: Chapter 02: The Crazy Ex

Despite Murphy being tempted to just swallow two more dudes right then, it doesn't happen.

Nivi says, "You ask like you're not used to relationships, Hakkof. Of course it's unusual."

Gaither says, "What can I say? Chicks really find me irresistable."

Somewhere, though tied and gagged, Juros manages to facepalm. Then his bonds go back to normal.

The cops set something up and soon, the group is heading for the exchange. The cops give their thorough instructions and go over them several times.

Re: Chapter 02: The Crazy Ex

"Like, woah!" is all Kevin had to say about the violent dish battles.

At the exchange he goes over wild contingencies with himself.

"Zoop!  Dude gets teleported away.  'Ok, like, you can have Juros back.  Sorry, but he was like... scrambled by the teleporter.'  'Juros!  You've a tail growing out of your chest!'

"Or like...  'Nevermind the exchange!  I've fallen for Juros!  He brags about his whole race instead of just himself!'

"Or like...  'Surprise!  You're on the "Dangerous and Humiliating Practical Jokes Show!"'

"Or like...  'Please help!  Juros escaped and has been chasing me with a feather duster ever since!'"

Re: Chapter 02: The Crazy Ex

The exchange goes as the cops predicted. Juros is exchanged for Gaither, but then the cops jump in and arrest the kidnapper.

The cops congratulate everyone involved, though clearly, Gaither isn't happy.

Nivi goes to glomp Juros, though.

Re: Chapter 02: The Crazy Ex

  Hakkof was expecting Kevin's second contingency, but does not admit this out loud.

  "I know a lot go for that whole honor thing, but why do I get the feeling some people here consider lying worse than kidnapping?"

Re: Chapter 02: The Crazy Ex

Kevin hurries to dogpile Juros!

"Juros!  Hahahahahahahah!"

That's the first he's laughed since his quadruped buddy vanished.

"Like, sooo awesome to see you're alright!  I was like, sooo worried for you, hah.  Like, the ransom note was all, 'Like, if you want your friend back, like, tell Gaither to meet me at these coordinates!'  I was thinking like, 'No way!  Like as if a crazy is gunna keep to the implied promise to return you!  Hah.  But like woah!  She like, totally forgot the 'Don't call the cops' part!  Hahah.  So we totally did!  Hahahah!  So like, what all happened on your end?"

Posting for Tim:

Juros blushes from the attention and answers Kevin, "Can't say I was completely bored... the girl is conversational, if delirious. I'm convinced she'll be put in a psych ward rather than prison when all is said and told."
Nivi says, "All's well that ends well. Here's hoping she gets the help she needs now that we all got the help we needed."

  "Out of morbid curiosity, did she ever mention why all the revenge stalking outside of 'because they broke up with me'?" Was it a dog? He heard cats hate dogs or something.  No recollection on Dog opinions on goats and rabbits and handsome devils.

Juros says, "Stuff like "Poor Gaither. He is confused. He doesn't know what he's doing. So I just have to help him out." and "Once we're together again, I can undo the brainwashing." and other cuckoo stuff."

Nivi says, "Well it's behind us... maybe we can find a job while we're here."

Re: Chapter 02: The Crazy Ex

  Hakkof is going to feel mildly silly if it turns out that yes, she was dumped because Gaither was brainwashed.

  But then, crazy ex girlfriends who don't even get a name put to them have never been the most credible source of conspiracy theories.

  "Yes, we do seem to have difficulty finding tasks which are not deemed too dangerous to survive, or just happen to end up with things like this."  Not like the group has had that many jobs to begin with, but a pattern is beginning.

Re: Chapter 02: The Crazy Ex

Kevin pauses to think then chuckles.  "Like, dunno what to say to a crazy being all non-vengeful and stuff.  Hahah.  Like, guess all I can say is I'm glad its behind us like Nivi said.  Hahahah."

He smiles at Hakkof.  "Like, could be worse.  Hah.  We coulda like, gon exploring that deadly jungle!  Hahahah!"

He smiles and salutes Nivi.  "Like, lead the way, boss!  Hahahah!"
