O Brother, where art thou? (S2)

[Gus]

((Heh, I did this chat show on friday, and the idea grew from there. If you were there, or heard about it, please don't give anything away. Please?))

The shaman looked at them keenly. They were an odd assortment if he'd ever seen one. A new team of shamans, perhaps? They WERE all wearing the same thing: a white shirt, whita pants,... But no. They were much to late to join the tourney.

He walked over to them, and spoke. His voice had a southern drawl to it. A Texan, perhaps? "Howdy. What're y'all doing this far out in the desert?"

The large one pointed at the village. He was about 6 foot 5, and very bulky. But instead of appearing fat, he radiated an aura of immense strength. "Patch?"

The shaman looked at him in surprise. "Of course this is Patch Village? Where the hell didja THINK you were?"

The second one spoke. His spiked brown hair, along with his black-rimmed eyes and tall, thin body, gave him a sinister look. "My companion just wanted to make sure. We've travelled for a long time, and we wanted to be sure we were finally here." He turned to the large one. "Isn't it great, brother? We have finally arrived. We will finally get to meet him!"

The large one ginned. "Yes! It is very good! I am very happy, version 2!"

The last one, a small boy of about 7 years, climbed off the large one's back. "Heh, we're all glad to be here. Thanks for the ride, version 3!"

The shaman stared at them strangely. "Uh... hey, what're you guys' names, anyway? And what're ya here for? I got that yer tryin' to find someone, but who?"

The Tall one gave a sweeping bow. "Forgive my brothers and I for our rudeness. I am Gus, Version 2. This large fellow behind me is Version 3. And the small one is Version 4."

Version 3 piped in. "We are looking for the original! Computer-sama told us he'd be here!"

The shaman laughed. "Heh, whaddaya guys think you are, clones?"

Version 4 grinned a small grin. "Yes! That's exactly what we are! And, you asked!"

Version 3 smiled. "Computer-sama said to get rid of anyone who asks! It's time to go now!"

The shaman stared in shock as the large one walked towards him. He watched as he was picked up by the head. He felt as his head was crushed by that massive fist.

Version 3 wiped the blood off his hands. "I am done, brothers! Now, let us go find the Original!"

They walked off into Patch village, leaving behind them the lifeless, broken body of one shamanic southerner.

((Okay! So, anyone who wants can interact with them. Only keep this in mind! DON'T ASK THEM ABOUT THEMSELVES!!!

Also, just to keep in mind: They have no understanding of death. They don't know they just ended that guy's life. Hell, they dont even know lives CAN end! They just see it as 'getting rid of' him.

Good luck!))

Megumi gave a long yawn as she streatched her arms up to the sky.
"That's it, I'm not playing Bust-A-Groove for more than 32 hours again..."
"I'm not even too sure how you did it?" Takehiro said casually "I told you to take a rest,"

"I'm resting now aren't I?" Megumi scowled. Sleepdeprivation had left her in a not so perky state As she dragged herself along, trying to find Magdelene and Sarah she passed 3 similar figures

Takehiro turned around and watched them for a few minutes. Megumi continued trudging along, not noticing the three brothers or the lack of a lynx-boy. Naturally curious, Takehiro decided to follow them and see what they were up to, at a safe distance, of coarse.

[Gus]

(( eheh, I assume you're AKA Takehiro? please, dont ruin any surprises...

And just so you know, I'm not putting the FusionMaster in. I have enough Guses as it is...))

[Magenta]

((OOC: Don't worry I won't, you're secrets safe with me))

[Secretofmana]

((OOC: Would Biggs mess this up if he asked them and then got killed, which he can't because he's already dead?))

[Gus]

((Not at all. I just said that to protect everyone's life. They really are incredibly strong. I mean, they're all ME! That's three times the me! In other words: DEADLY!!))

Version 4 smiled. "Brothers, we are being followed! We should stop them now!"

Version 3 looked thoughtful, but Version 2 frowned. "You know that is not our job, 4. Unless she becomes involved, unless she endangers either us, or the Original, then we will not stop her. She is fairly obvious, anyway. She is not strong enough to be a threat."

Version 4's face darkened. He almost spoke, but he stopped himself. After all, perhaps Big Brother knows best...

[Magenta]

Takehiro tried his best to stay hidden. 'she?' he questioned. He was still trying to figure out what tehy ment by original. He was a little intimmidated by them but he was too curious for his own good.

Meanwhile sown at the Patch coffee shop Megumi and Kyaa were lurking around.
"Ah, nothing like teh smell of coffee to wake you up," Megumi sighed. Kyaa had begun to notice that there was only the two of them. She pulled at Megumi's sleeve to get her attention.
"Huh? what's wrong?" It was then that they were confronted by an irritated looking Patch
"This ain't free, buy something or get out," he ordered in a rude tone of voice. Outside the shop Kyaa was still trying to tell Megumi, there were times when she really hated not being telepathic.

[Gus]

((Sorry, dint realize ya RP'd as a guy! That would explain quite a few unusual situations in your RPs!))

[Magenta]

((OOC: Whadd'ya mean? Are you talking about Takehiro, Megumi or Kyaa...Okay, um... Just to make it clear Megumi and Kyaa are female and Takehiro's male. Sorry, I just didn't quite understand...and what situations? Sorry if this is going too offtopic))

"Nya, nya nya nya!(Takehiro's not here, we should go look for him)" Kyaa mewed irritavly. Megumi just tilted her head. She'd never quite had the same relation with Kyaa that she had with Takehiro but that was because of the language barrier.
"Hey Takehiro, do you understand wha...Takehiro?" It was then Megumi realised that he wasn't there. 'Where'd he go darn it!' she yelled inside her mind as she ran off to find him.

[Gus]

"Brother, he's ANNOYING me! Why does he keep staring! Let us remove him, and be done with it! Tell him, version 3!"

Version 3 sighed. "I don't like going against 2. He is oldest. Let us wait. If he poses a threat, we will. If not..."

[Magenta]

Megumi ran all over patch village trying to find him. After the many hours of none stop videogames she didn't have as much stamina as she used to. The search was taking her more time than she had patience for. That was when an idea struck. She looked over at Kyaa who imidiatly understood.
"Okay, Kyaa oversoul! In neko costume!" ((Goofy sounding, I know)) The tail on Megumi's backside started to flick around. Crouching down to give herself a boost, she left up onto the rooftops. An aerial veiw would be much more useful.

[Gus]

They sat down in the alley. It was getting dark. The boy was still crouching nearby.

Version 3 spoke. "We are sleeping here? Please, brother... could you tell me story? Computer-sama always used to story me to sleep..."

Version 3 grinned at the hulking form that was his little brother. "Eh, sure..."

Takehiro sat in the shadows, listening as the story commenced...

((Sorry, no time to write it now. Maybe later!))

[Magenta]

Megumi ran and lept silently along the roof tops searching for her lost spirit. Meanwhile, Takehiro stayed fixed in his position, hoping he was unseen. With his ears pricked up he listened to every word of the story.

[Gus]

Version 2 spoke: "A long time ago, there was Nothing. It was everywhere. In the towns, in the country, in-"

Version 3 interjected. "And it was bad, right brother? It was bad."

"Yes. It was very bad. So bad, that it had to be removed. But, it was so strong! So, there needed to be a powerful man to remove it. That man was Creator. Creator removed the Nothing. He made people. And then, he made one person special. Creator looked upon that one person and said, 'You are of me'. Ant the person smiled, and said, 'thank you Creator'. And Creator named the Person 'Augustus', which meant 'The Great One' in his tounge. Creator called him, 'my little Gus'. And they were together, and they were happy. But one day, Gus left Creator. He became a Bad Person. And this made Creator very, very, sad. So he made a New Gus! In fact, he made three of them. But before they were complete, the Nothing decided to return. So Creator made Computer-sama, to help the New Guses. And he left, to fight the Nothing.

"When the Guses were born, they learned from Computer-sama all about Creator, their wonderful Father. They learned about Gus, and how he'd made Creator sad. And they loved Creator, loved him very much. They learned that Gus was, in fact, No Longer Bad. So they decided to retreive him. They knew that if they brought Gus to Creator, they would make Creator happy. So, they set out. And they travelled for a long time, before they arrived..."

Version 3 looked at 2. "And that's us, right? We're here to make Creator happy!"

Version 2 grinned. "Yep, that's us. Brother, we are on a mission, and we will suceed. And then, It will be better again."

Version 4 sat in the shadows, asleep.

Takehiro looked confused. Surely, this 'Gus' could not be the incredibly cool and handsome fellow that he knew as Gus, could it? But, somehow...

Takehiro decided to talk to Megumi about it. She'd know what to do.

[Magenta]

After looking for Takehiro from teh rooftops Megumi started to get tired.
"It's no use, Patch villiage is just to big," She sighed as Kyaa came out of oversoul. She sat down on teh edge of the roof watching the shamans wandering around the main square. It was then she heard a familiar voice calling her. Turning her head round she found her Spirit ally hopping toward her.

"Takehiro, I was so worried. Where'd you go?"
"I'll explain that on the way, I want you to come and see something." He said taking her hand and leading her across the roof tops to his previous location, explainging his absence. Apon reaching the final roof they both ducked down and observed the three figures sleeping on the bench.

"Look, they all look like..."
"Gus-sama!" Megumi interupted.
"Yeah, I overheard one of their stories and they mentioned that they were created in his image,"
"well they can't obviously be as cool or as handsome as the original Gus but the little one's kinda cute."
Takehiro didn't reply, he was too busy trying to comprehend the whole event. In a way, he sort of envied Megumi for being so naive and single minded.
