??? - Searching for Business

[Ninetalesuk]

@karatenmon@

"Mame, is it me or... something is... odd?" He asked.

[YolkaEd]

@mamemon@

"...it's not just odd... it's unsettling." he noted. "...I get the feeling that we shouldn't hang around for too long. That includes you and BlackMetalGarurumon, too."

[Ninetalesuk]

@karatenmon@

"Indeed... until Barbamon calms down..." He hummed. "Although, I guess we're just imagining things... what's the worse he could do...?"


@barbamon@

"Okay! Are you ready?!?"

@bmgarurumon@

He nodded.

@barbamon@

"Good! When I say now, fire the darts into Mame's mouth and both the butts of Indra and Vade!"

@bmgarurumon@

Again, he nodded.

@barbamon@

"Good..." He rubbed his hands. "Now then..."


@karatenmon@

"I guess we should all relax and..."

(BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!)

After a few seconds of shaking...

@karatenmon@

...he sighed and shook his head. "I see now... he's been to the kitchen again to make curry... will he ever learn...?"

[YolkaEd]

@mamemon@@vademon@@indramon@

"Apparently not." all three of them said in tandem.

[Ninetalesuk]

In the corridor...

@barbamon@

He just glared at Kage, sitting in smoking rubble... "...you just couldn't resist doing that when I said that word... could you...?"

@bmgarurumon@

He just snickered...

@barbamon@

"Shuddap, Muttley..." He grumbled.


@karatenmon@

"Ah, well... false alarm..." He shrugged.

[YolkaEd]

@mamemon@@vademon@@indramon@

"Right." With that, they returned to what they were doing; Mame was standing by Karatenmon, Vade was searching for Slash and Grap, and Indra... well, he stood around, being Indra.

[Ninetalesuk]

@karatenmon@

He sighed, crossing his arms...

...as the door silently opened up...

@barbamon@

"Get ready to fire..." He whispered.

@bmgarurumon@

He nodded... and paused...

@barbamon@

"What's wrong...? Having second thoughts...?"

@bmgarurumon@

He held up a sign... You haven't loaded the darts up in me.

@barbamon@

"....oh....."

The door shuts...

@karatenmon@

He glanced over his shoulder... then, shrugs...

[YolkaEd]

@mamemon@

"...what's up?" Mame hummed, glancing at Karatenmon. "Imagining things?"

[Ninetalesuk]

@karatenmon@

"I thought I heard the door opening and closing... I must be imaging it..."


In the basement...

@barbamon@

"Right!! Here it is!! Knockout Drug XX32!!" He said, pulling a stopper out of a bottle. "With this... those three will be asleeping in 0.1 second!"

@bmgarurumon@

He took a sniff....

(FLOP!)

....and fell asleep.

@barbamon@

"Pretty powerful, huh? Takes about 2 hours to wake up!" He chuckled, bringing out some darts. "Now, let's load you up and...."


Back in the room...

@barbamon@

"DAMMIT!!!!!!"

@karatenmon@

"...must have lost to Bowser again..." He sighed.

[YolkaEd]

@indramon@

"I don't see how; that game's no challenge at all."

@mamemon@

"...I didn't know that you played video games."

@indramon@

"I don't!"

@mamemon@

"........."

[Ninetalesuk]

@barbamon@

"I guess I have to throw them!! Fast!!" He grunted, looking through some boxes. "I'll need a target practise!! Something soft and hateful!"

Pulls out a Steelix. "Nope."

Pulls out a Virtual Boy. "Nope."

Pulls out DVDs of Twilight. "Nope."

Pulls out a cardboard cutout of Chris from Sonic X. "Nope."

Pulls out a post of Lunatics. "Uh uh."

Pulls out a toy of Masked Rider. "Nope."

And then...

@barbamon@

"AH! This'll do!"


TIMESKIP

@karatenmon@

"Well, Vade? Any luck?"

@vademon@

"...sadly, nothing yet." Vade sighed in frustration.

@karatenmon@

"Hmm..."

(CRASH! BANG!) Came faint sounds...

@indramon@

"...you guys hear something?"

@karatenmon@

"Yeah..." He hummed. "If I'm feeling sadistic... it must be Lord Barbamon, for whatever reason, taking self-lessons on darts in the basement and keeps on missing the target..."

@mamemon@

"...what, is the target his pet, or something?" Mame quipped.

@vademon@

"It wouldn't surprise me." Vade hummed in an uninterested tone.

@karatenmon@

"Nor it surprises me that's doing it for the past hour..."


The target was a cardboard cutout of some guy with semi-long brown hair, red jacket, blue t-shirt, green shorts and a pair of white sneakers...

@barbamon@

"Bugger! Bugger! Bugger! Bugger!" He grunted, throwing darts like a newbie, missing the target over and over again... hitting other stuff...

[YolkaEd]

@indramon@

"...you know, I do wonder what's taking him so long." Indra hummed. "He did say that he'd be right back, didn't he?"

[Ninetalesuk]

@karatenmon@

"I guess he's trying to keep himself calm... especially that both Slash and Grap are missing..." He said, nodding his head. "I can respect that... calm, focused..."


@barbamon@

"GAAAAAAAAAH!!! HOW HARD CAN IT BE TO HIT A TARGET WITH DARTS?!?" He dug through the box again. "Grr..."

He pulled out something. "...how did Crowler's wig get here...?"

He looked back in. "IS THAT HIS BRA?!?"

[YolkaEd]

@vademon@

"...I will say this; unlike certain other villains, he knows how to keep himself from becoming too camp."

@mamemon@

"...where did that come from?"

@vademon@

"Eh, just felt like pointing it out."

[Ninetalesuk]

@karatenmon@

"Which villains are you suggesting are too camp?" He blinked.


@barbamon@

He pulled out something, making him look sick. "E-Eggman's swimsuit...?! Ugh..."

He stuffed it back into the box and slammed it.

@bmgarurumon@

Still asleep...

@barbamon@

He pulled a book out. "Maybe this will help me... Chapter 1 - How to Save and Entire World from Death and Destruction by using a Popular Children's Card Game..."

[YolkaEd]

@vademon@

"Well, Devimon, Myotismon and Piedmon, for one thing." Vade pointed out. "Especially Piedmon; the appearance and mannerisms don't leave much to the imagination."

@indramon@

"...who'd go out of their way to notice that certain villains would be acting camp to begin with?" Indra blinked.

@mamemon@

"Really disturbed individuals."

@vademon@

"Hey, don't point fingers; I just say what I've read."

[Ninetalesuk]

@karatenmon@

"While Etemon... is a... how is that best described...?"


@barbamon@

"...this is why card games is better than spinning tops! Full stop! Who wrote this?! Y.Y.M?"

He tossed the book over his shoulder and brought out a shotgun. "I'll try this out instead!!"

[YolkaEd]

@vademon@

"...goofball?"

@mamemon@

"Doofus?"

@indramon@

"Washed-up musician who's desperately trying a comeback tour?"

@mamemon@@vademon@

They just looked at Indra with bewildered looks.

@indramon@

"...what?"

[Ninetalesuk]

@karatenmon@

"...nothing..."


@barbamon@

"Rule Number One... Pull trigger..." He said, reading an instruction book... and he did...

(BANG!!!)

@barbamon@

"Rule Number Two... Please Do Not Read this Instruction Manual as it has been mistakenly put all tasks in random order... please make sure you don't point the shotgun to your face..." He read another, face covered in soot.

[YolkaEd]

@mamemon@@vademon@

Shrugging, they went back to work.

@indramon@

With a slight hum, Indramon just folded his arms and waited again.
