FEED ME, SEYMOUR

[anemonsters]

[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.))

Because...

...Because I care too much about you.

[gandere]

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

[wontdieifkilled]

What? It's the truth!

[gandere]

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!

[wontdieifkilled]

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

[gandere]

I don't need help in doing that.

[wontdieifkilled]

Says the girl shouting at a giant dragon.

[gandere]

I told you before I can handle this.

[wontdieifkilled]

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

[gandere]

Hm. I could always knock you out cold.

[wontdieifkilled]

Why would you do that?

[gandere]

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

[wontdieifkilled]

But then there's you!

[gandere]

Isn't it my turn to protect you, Shirou?

[ She seems pretty insistent on this path no matter what. ]

[wontdieifkilled]

What?

[The idea that he would need protection honestly never occurred to him.]

Why would I need protection?

[gandere]

So you don't get hurt by the dragon! [ Idiot. ] You're always helping me, so why can't I help you in return?

[wontdieifkilled]

[This is a new concept for Shirou.]

Well, because...I'm not worth the effort.

[Said as if it's the most obvious thing.]

[gandere]

Wha-?

[ Stupid Shirou always with the stupid remarks. This time though he's left her speechless. ]

[wontdieifkilled]

...What?

[gandere]

S-Stupid! You can't say things like that when I'm trying to show you otherwise! It makes my efforts look like a waste!

[wontdieifkilled]

So, you...really want to protect me? But why?

[gandere]

Because I like you, idiot.

[wontdieifkilled]

Well...well, that's...that's just more reason why you should be cautious!
