anemoi | FEED ME, SEYMOUR

[Well, here's an odd sight on the phone network today. It's one of the Lab's scientists, looking pretty nervous about something. You've probably seen this guy before, but maybe not, he's one of several scientists who handle anemoi and related matters--Dr. Patrick Nichols, if you're particularly good at remembering names and faces.]

Ahhh, ahahaha, um, hello! Very sorry to bother you all so suddenly like this, I know we don't usually do that, but we've got ourselves a bit of a problem up here, and, well. You lot are rather proficient at problem-solving, right? Because, ahaha, it's kind of a big one! Here, take a look for yourselves.

[He inputs a few things into the phone and a nearby computer quickly, and the feed input soon changes to one of the Lab's security cameras. Specifically, one overlooking the Lab's entrance, where a large, green, serpentine creature is curled up. After a moment, the feed switches back to the phone's camera and Dr. Nichols.]

It's right in front of the door, which means none of us can get out, and, of course, aheh, none of you can get in, so it would be to our mutual benefit if you could get rid of it. Somehow. Before we all starve to death, if you would.

((That's right, there's now a Rayquaza parked right in front of the Lab, and it's up to you guys to get rid of it. How, you ask? Good question!

INCIDENTALLY, a couple of weird, new machines have appeared in the lobby area of the Ermis Suites. But I'm sure that's just a coincidence.))

You can't lose something you fail to have in the first place, stupid Shirou! [ Thankfully he hit a sore spot so he won't get punched this time, the girl choosing instead to fold her arms defiantly over her chest. ] I know what I'm doing and if I don't, I'll just run away.

Well, I'm not leaving without you.

Don't be stupid. What business do you have around here? I'm going to take care of the dragon and then go back to my stupid room.

And attacking it is only going to make it angry. You should be more prepared to accept help when there's a chance something bad will happen.

[POT, MEET KETTLE.]

Great, then it can join me in being pissed off too. Can't you just stand to the side and watch me then? Would that make you feel a bit better as a man?

Why would that make me feel anything than what I'm feeling right now?

Because I'm permitting you to watch me be a hero.

Why would I need permission?

Because otherwise I would just blast you for being annoying. That's why.

That wouldn't stop me.

You wouldn't stop even if I beat you up?

No. Not if I can help it.

Wha-? Why not?

Because...

...Because I care too much about you.

Ugh--not this again? I should have kept my mouth shut for once.

What? It's the truth!

Yes, but every time I go to do something, you're going to say you care or you like me or that you're concerned for my well-being!

Of course I am! Because I want you to live!

I don't need help in doing that.

Says the girl shouting at a giant dragon.

I told you before I can handle this.

And I'm not leaving as long as you're here. We're back to square one.

Hm. I could always knock you out cold.

Why would you do that?

So you wouldn't get in the way of danger!
