[Congratulations, banging on one of your neighbor's doors gets you this goober, eating a bowl of cereal with milk dripping down his face a bit like a kid.]

Hey! You here to take me back home?

Re: A

[all_ofthethings]

[He just stares for a moment.]

Take you back home? You're not my type. But what the hell is this place?

Re: A

[toothsnort]

Huh? Well what do I have to do to be your type? I wanna go home.

[Yeah. He is just clearly not getting it, Greed.]

This place?

It's the house I woke up in this morning.

XD

[all_ofthethings]

First of all, you gotta be a woman, which you're obviously not.

And, I meant this town. I just woke up in that house across the street. I thought other people might know what the hell is going on.

[toothsnort]

What do you mean I gotta be a woman to go home? I went home as a guy before! I was always there as a guy!

Oh. Ooooooh.

Yeah. We've been kidnapped by ninjas.

Greed really wants to headdesk atm XD

[all_ofthethings]

Look, I ain't taking you home, kid. And I doubt we even come from the same place.

I don't even know where I am, aside from this being Topper Street.

And what do you mean ninjas? I haven't seen anyone from Xing in ages. And this place sure the hell don't look Xingese.

Yeah, Rittz has that effect on people

[toothsnort]

I'm not a kid! I'm a grown man.

Well the last thing that happened before being brought here was getting jumped by ninjas, so it was ninjas that brought us here. Just makes sense, you know?

Re: Yeah, Rittz has that effect on people

[all_ofthethings]

Really, cuz the last thing that happened to me was my shitty father killed me, and he's no ninja.

[toothsnort]

Oh.

Wait are you a zombie?

lol XD

[all_ofthethings]

A zombie? I don't know what the hell that is.

I am a homunculus. An artificially made being powered by the soul millions of humans trapped in a little red stone. It allows me to regenerate when I'm injured.

And, it is missing right now. So, for the time being, I suppose I'm human.

[toothsnort]

You know? Dead guy, he gets up and walks?

Oh.

Well uh...

[Yeah, kind of starting to draw back and getting ready to close the door.]

Well, we're kinda fresh out of souls so, um....I'll see you later.

[all_ofthethings]

Yeah, never seen anything but a homunculus do that.

[He doesn't stop the door from closing, but keeps talking until it does.]

I don't eat souls, or take 'em, or anything like that. It was my shitty father, not me. Don't think I'm gonna follow in his footsteps.

[toothsnort]

[Oh. Well shit. Now he feels bad. He doesn't open the door any more than it currently is, but he doesn't close it yet either.]

....You want some cereal or something to eat man?

[all_ofthethings]

Nah, I think I'd rather have something alcoholic. There's gotta be a bar in town somewhere, since I supposedly work there.
