Night 57: Grand Ballroom

Taura jogged down the stairs, and looked around. The room seemed far too large to belong down here. More benefits of being at the bottom of a gravity well -- space was cheap, and air was free. The fountains wouldn't be out of place in a fancy hotel lobby, though the rest of the decor was a little macabre ( Read more... )

Hmm there were just so many options. Goku ultimately grabbed a pork shoulder and hefted it into his arms for a quick test of substance. It was just a big block of muscle and shaved fat that was bigger than his head.

"Hee hee..." This would do nicely. The monkey boy bet it would taste pretty good if he dipped it in the ice-cream too!. "Okay, I'm ready--Ah..." The first big problem was he had more items than arms. If only he had his nyoibo, the kid would have a holster for it and then he would be free to pig out with both hands. So the question was how would he rectify this?

It took a bit of thinking (also known as staring vacantly into the distance), but Goku finally came up with a solution. Pulling his pole closer, he took the raw slab of meat and skewered it on his newfound staff. Now he had a weapon and food in one! It was time for ass kicking ( ... )

As Taura led the way down the stairwell, Rita left her bag of cookies on a shelf inside the refrigerator. Most of the fruit, along with another banana peel, were left alongside it. She didn't want to carry a whole armful of food into what could be a trap. One apple was brought along with her, and she took a few bites from it as she descended ( ... )

There was one thing Taura wanted to try, too, and Rita had just handed her a golden -- or, er, blood-red -- opportunity. Literally handed it to her. "Give me a second, yeah?" Taura reached into her pocket and pulled out the materia Rita had managed to make heal her cut the previous night, and looked at it.

What did she do now? Think at it? Physician, heal thyself!Something blasted its way out of her mind on a jet of flame, turned, with the effortlessness of zero-G maneuvering, and sped off in a different direction -- towards Rita. None of it was visible, except for a faint green glow from the stone, reflected in her eyes. And the skin on Rita's finger, which was as perfectly repaired as the ring had been, save for a little smear of blood ( ... )
