"NO." X yells. "You're wrong. Someone who cares wouldn't show tears. Don't be scared of fear, but at the same time don't be weak to give in. I won't let him get near you."

Bloodrose's face was a solemn one.

"I won't let anyone hurt you Silk, I swear it."

"Coming from someone whose loved one has died right in front of them...You're a fool. The one comforting thing I have is that I tried to save her...event hough in the end I killed myself...I tried. Please...for God's sake...don't do worse than me I beg of you." Bloodrose says to Moraie, trying to hide his own tears.



"It's not scary, but...it's too weird. I must look silly with...wait..." Gigavolt touches his face. "Since when do I have a nose?"

"I'm ok." Split says. "Just not used to dealing with kids. Biggest thing in my life close to a kid is that dummy Pegas witht he way he acts some times. Having a fit over nothing and calling me names when I do something to bug him."

ooc: I think you mean Silk, not Meddy.

"You think it's possible to run away from life itself?"

Nana approached Moirae. "We aren't that different, you know. We both use a crutch to protect us from life. For me, it's Dark Chips. For you, apathy. But is life something that we need protecting from? Pain and suffering will happen, and as much as I want to change that, I don't think anyone can. Don't make my mistake and try to run away from it all."

"But they'll break." Moirae wimpered. "I can't help them because they'll break if I move."

"Riddle me this. Why do you believe that?" asked Nana.

Moirae thought. She pointed to X.

"Try again." said Nana. "An example is not an argument."

Moirae sighed in defeat. She couldn't think of anything.

"Besides, if you really think about it, you're contradicting yourself." said Nana. "The reason you don't help them is because you fear they'll die if you do. You don't care because you do care. Now, what sense does that make?"

Moirae began to hyperventalate. "I- I- This is too much. I'm s-so c-confused. I don't know what t-to d-do. I- I-" He logic shattered, she hugged X, sobbing into his chest. "Hold me, X! I'm scared! I-I want to be close to someone who cares about me! I don't want to be alone anymore!"

Nana smiled, and looked over at Bloodrose. "I must be making progress."

***

Mistral giggled. "I don't think you look that silly." she said.

"Well, a lot of people say I'm very kid-like, and you deal with me just fine, Mr. Mushroom." said Aquarius.

***

"Kero?" When his question wasn't answered, Toadman.exe poked Hardman, hoping to get his attention.

***

Melody pondered. "It's difficult to describe with words, but I'll try." she said. "The Met Cloud Kingdom is divided into four countries, with the Royal Palace in the center. The countries are the Greenery Country, the Snow Country, the Desert Country, and the Military Country. My family lives sort of on the border between the Palace and the Greenery Country. It's a beautiful place, with wide open plains, serene forests, beautiful scared ruins. It's nice."

***

"Dash Condor omlettes? Not really." said Marcus. "Burning Condor omlettes? I don't think even you can handle them. Those things pack a wallop. And the kicker is both dishes look identical. I bit into a Burning Condor omlette once thinking it was just a normal Dash Condor omlette, and everything tasted like leather for three days."

(OOC: Getting up at 8 am to make sure I get solid time on here without wasting hours of checking/waiting has it's price. Corrected Bri, thanks.)

X hugs her. "Since when are you alone? You got so much support it's crazy." X smiles as he holds her close. "Just know...even if you don't move they'll break. We might fail...but ask yourself how you'd rather die: Alone and afraid or knowing that someone out there risked their heart and soul to try and save you? If we cannot save Genblem he at least needs to know we care...that in itself will save him." X says. "However I won't allow that choice to be made. My destiny is to defeat Weil and protect those that matter most. My friends, my family, You, Bloodrose...and even Juno and Weil in some form or another."

"I'm jealous of your progress Nana. You were more open that I could be." Bloodrose says, saying her name to test/tease her.



Hard Man looked down at Toad Man and realized it wasn't a drunken hallucination, recall his physical change. "Oh...hey Toad. Poking my body is like poking a turtle shell y'know? Anywho they're fine. Drill's as gung ho as ever and Ring Man is...well...I sometimes pity Ring Babe being his keeper..no offense but his weird tangents are...weird."



Gigavolt's face goes red. "Th...th..thank you." He then looked somewhat annoyed. "Theis helmet is making my head feel...what's the word for when you feel like scratching yourself?" He says, feeling a new sensation.

"They treat me like a kid and that's ok but Pegas treats me like I'm stupid...he does that with everyone but Mommy. He sometiems does it to Daddy but Daddy is mean back to him. Makes me laugh." Split says.

"Th-thank you, X." Moirae said. "I-I'm still scared, but I'll try not to hide anymore."

Nana flinched a little. "It's not that difficult, Whiterose. I say you should try it sometime."

***

"Itchy?" asked Mistral, hazarding a guess.

"Pegas sounds like a meanie." said Aquarius as her faces switch. "But you kill meanies. Why is he still alive? Is he a good meanie, like Mr. Grey is? I don't know if I'll ever get used to these shades of grey."

***

"Wait, kero. Ringo has a girlfriend, kero?" Toadman asked. He smiled. "Lucky dog, kero. I hope I can meet her someday, kero. And I'm glad to hear Drill's doing well too, kero."

He then hopped over to Beat. "You still write to Cossack right, kero?"

"Yeah." said Beat. "What, are you still worried about-?"

Toadman looked at his webbed hands for a moment. "Yeah, kero."

Beat laughed. "Toad, c'mon! That was a long time ago! I know Kalinka. She doesn't hold a grudge like that. Besides, you already apologized."

Toadman didn't respond. He sat down and sighed.

Beat rolled his eyes, and flew over to Psi and Noble Mondrago. "Hey, either of you think you can help Toad over there? He's in a bit of a slump."

Psi was busy watching X's interaction with Moirae. Like Sigma, she was proud of him.

"Ooooooookay. Ms. Mondrago, think you can help out?" asked Beat.

***

"Of cource I do." said Melody. "The Snow Country is a wonderous place, full of mystery. Like the mystery of how the whole country is covered with snow even though it's in the eye of a hurricane. Whatever the case, it's very pretty. We usually hold the Winter Festival there.

"The Desert Country is just as mysterious as the snow country, but for a different reason. The Desert Country is usually home to the Met Alchemists, powerful sages who perfect the craft of Metool Alchemy. The country itself is well, a desert. Not much fun to live in.

"I haven't personally been to the Military Country, but from what my uncle Metanooie told me, it doesn't seem like my kind of place. It's the home of our kingdom's defense system, our military. It's a pretty barren country, with jagged mountains and plains of stone. It's kind of like the opposite of the Greenery Country."

"Yeah...I've never been itchy before." He takes off his helmet, revealing mid length unkept purple hair. He began to scratch it when he heard a shriek from behind him.

"That...will...not...do." Gate Man says in shock and horror. "I can't sit idley by while that clump of messy purple hair exists in this world. You must let me help you."

"Ummm...Mr. doesn't like to be called Mister Guy...is it ok for your son to be freaking out like that?" Gigavolt asks Famous.

"That totally defeats the point of not calling me Mister to begin with but...yes, he's a trained hairstylist." Famous says, not wanting to get mad at the kid.

"If I may be so honored. You can help me missy if you like." Gate Man asked Mistral.



"Trying where I can my dear." Bloodrose says.

"I don;t go around killing EVERY mean person I see. Besides Pegas is ok...he's just a big dork. Dad told me once every family has one." Split says. Bloodrose had to styfle a chuckle.



"You're welcome Moraie. I'm here for you." X says.

"Um..." Mistral blushed and hid her face. "I'm actually not skilled in that sort of thing, Mr. Gateman..."

"Hmm. I see." said Aquarius Theater, when in reality, she really didn't quite understand.

***

Moirae calmed down. "You asked how I would rather die before. I've, done some thinking. I'm..." She blushed. "...in love with someone who dwells in death like I do." She giggled. "Call me silly, but I'm an assassin, yet I don't fully understand death. This one man that I've heard of, dwells in death. He knows all about it. I think he can help me understand it." She looked up at X. "At first, it didn't matter. But now, I think I'd rather die in his arms than by his blade. I'd rather have him care about me."

***

"Ah, Toad over there is hung up on something that happened years ago." said Beat. "Seeing as he'd probably try to hurt me if I tell you, I suggest you coax it out of him. Be careful, he's a bit sensative about the whole thing."

Toadman sighed, still looking at his webbed hands.

***

"Not sure how the Scovile scale works, but Burning Condor omlettes are up there between habaneros and ghost peppers. Can't really get more specific than that." said Marcus.

***

"Oh, the Winter Festival is amazing." said Melody. "When the world outside our home becomes as cold as the Snow Country, we celebrate with songs, a large Ice Waltz, and games. The food is especially amazing. Snow cakes, for instance." Her stomach growled. "I'm getting hungry just thinking about those. They're basically snow wrapped in a sweetened doughy shell, similar to a pork bun. The snow itself is flavored with molasses and cinnimon and it's just divine."

X smiles. "Would like my help...such as I can give as well...I've been as lucky at love as Guts Man has been keeping Bomb Man from blowing stuff up."

As if on cue something blows up.

"BOMBY!!" Guts Man's voice roared.

"But there was a fly in my soup...oh no...I DIDN'T GET HIM!!" Bomb Man said.

"Yeah...something like that." X says.



"Well likely he'll be fussy. I could use your help to keep him from zapping me while I untangle him. Plus you can be taught my dear, not that there is much to teach, you've kept up your hair well. It looks so silky smooth." Gate Man says.

Grid Man was staring at him again. "Dad..."

"Yes he is a he for the 1000th time." Famous says.



"Well I told him basically he's family and you don't kill family." Bloodrose says.

"Yeah, not like Blue Hair is." Split says.

Dynamax let out a growl. "To be mocked by two so stained with innocent blood." He wanted to go for his sword but he was flanked by Frost and Buffalo.

"To be fair, Dyna's aggressions against his brother are justified." Oliver told Split. "Being a jerk is not the same thing as betraying your bloodties."

"I'm sorry, I feel a bit lost." said Aquarius. "I don't know who my family is, remember?"

***

Mistral's face became bright red. "Th-thank you, Mr. Gateman." she said as she hid her face. "I-I'll help you any way I can..."

***

"No, I believe I can handle it." said Moirae. "Thanks anyway, X."

She paused. "X, I-I kinda want to see Genblem. But I'm still scared that Weil will do something to him if I do. Do you think it's okay to go see him now? And if so, will you..." She blushed. She felt like a little child. "...hold my hand?"

***

"Sorry, got distracted for a moment there." said Melody. "Just thinking about snow cakes really makes me hungry. Is there anything else you want to know about my home, Emmy?"

"Alright." X says.

"I am touched by the concern for ones own siblings. Kendo Man, I must sadly ask you to leave yours for the moment and come with me. A proper escort is needed for such an endeavour." Colonel says, standing up.

Kendo Man, who was busy playing Super Street Fighter IV with Grid Man looks up. "What...I'm g...HEY!!! NO FAIR KILLING ME WHEN I'M DISTRACTED!!!"

"You forgot to pause Bro." Grid Man says. "I'll letcha get in the first shot when you get back."

Kendo Mang rumbles as he gets up. But his spot would not be vacated for long. "This is a matter of pride." Ninetails comes over, sits down and picks up the controller. "A rare time I'll be glad to let my old man kick ass for me." He says as he selects Ken.

"You don't have to do this Colonel." X says.

"I have already stated I would. Now it is simply a matter of honor." Colonel says.



"So it's ok to hunt down and murder your brother if he's done bad things?" Split asks. "Ain't that kinda...hypocryptical?"

"Hypocritical...and...it is a matter far too complicated to get into." Bloodrose says.

"How is it difficult? His brother's a messed up junkie. He ain't even the guy he was anymore anyway. I mean that's what your afraid of Nana becoming. You keep saying if her addiction goes to far she won't even be herself anymore...so that Slurpeemax guy ain't even his bro anymore." Split says.

Dynamax just stands there, only his breathing could be heard from him.



"Alright well for starters kiddo, you know how annoying it is if your tentacles get tangled?" Gate Man says.

"Uh huh." Gigavolt says.

"Ok now imagine that only with hundreds and hundreds of them. That's what's wrong with your hair." Gate Man says, lifting a tangled mass that looks like a flap of hair on his head.

"Oh my...what are you gonna do to fix it?" Gigavolt asks.

"I'll have to cut it." Gate Man says.

Gigavolt's eyes widen. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

"Wait, wait...it's not going to hurt, besides...hair grows back." Gate Man says. "I forogt who I was talking to...such a dummy."

"Yeah, it is kinda difficult, but you seem to have a grasp on it." said Oliver. "It depends on how bad the things are. The circumstance is different."

Aquarius didn't feel like she was part of the discussion anymore, so she left Split Mushroom and Oliver.

***

"Gigs, it'll be okay." said Mistral, overcoming her shyness to calm her brother. "He won't hurt you, I promise. Besides, he's right. Hair does grow back."

***

Moirae took X by the hand. "Let us go then. We need to let Genblem know that we care."

"I'll go, too."

Aquarius Theater stood by X and Moirae.

"Aquarius? But why?" asked Moirae.

"Because you're my friend." said Aquarius. "I don't know anything about families, so my friends are the closest thing I've got. I don't want you to get hurt, either."

Moirae blushed. "Th-thank you, Aquarius." she said.

"Be careful, brother." said Iris. "And please, come back alive."

***

"Hmm. Tricky question." said Melody. "Well, Metool Alchemy is just our brand of magic, for the lack of a better term. The Met Alchemists are the people who dedicate themselves to learning this magic. Marcus is an alchemist-in-training, actually. He'd know a lot more about it than I would."
