(OOC:Sorry I was supposed to type sooner, but got confused)
After the battle, Jayshi ran to catch up to the rest. He was sorta distracted. "I must've lost control of my abilities again. Maybe a good rest would help..."
He went into his room to try to rest. He had a few things on his mind. One:why would someone take Ecstay egg? And where is the bad guy, and how did he or she leave nothing behind? He laid on the bed to fully rest. When he closed his eyes, he fell asleep.

Tycho looked around the strange room he had found. It was some sort of reading room, with shelves of books, and several more books open on the table in the center of the room. Tycho walked over and silently closed the door so nobody would see him in there. He went back to the table and sat down in a chair that someone had already pulled out and then, out of curiosity, began to look at the books. All the books looked very old, and most of them he couldn't even understand because they were written in some other language; one in particular caught his attention, it seemed to say something about the bliss scepter. The book had nothing to say that he didn't already know about the bliss scepter, but still it was a coincidence that someone had recently read about it. "The thief must've been in here, the door was even open when I came in...that means the thief must still be in the house!" Tycho said excitedly, "I need to go find the others." As he stood up, he heard footsteps outside the door, Tycho froze, the door knob turned and Tycho, suddenly nervous of who might be coming in quietly slipped into an open closet door to hide.

Yoshiken noticed the sleeping quarters and put all his belongings onto one of the beds. After everything was packed onto it he walked out stating that he was thirsty and was going to ask Terentii for some water.
This wasnt true tho, He actually went out to secretly gather information about this strange man. Why is he living in a place like this? why did he welcome us in such a friendly way? why is he trusting us so much?
Yoshiken walked out and around the place and noticed Terentii walking into a room suspiciously, Yoshiken stopped the door from closing all the way and looked in. It seemed a book was missing from the shelf and he was frantically looking for it. His facial expression quickly changed and he seemed worried. He rushed out of the room, not even acknowledging Yoshiken being there. Yoshiken made sure he was gone and walked into the room. "Now what could he have been searching for that would be so valuable as to fret about like that?" Yoshiken quietly said to himself.
He began to search for the book missing from the shelf himself...

OOC: You're in the same room as Tycho right?
Tycho heard some commotion and then peered out of the closet, not even realizing that he was holding a book that had been on the table. Only Yoshiken was there, he seemed to be looking for something. Tycho figured it was safe to come out now, remembering that he was on the same team. He stepped out from behind the closet door and spoke, "whatcha looking for?"

From behind a book case, emerged Teo (same room as Tycho and yoshiken). "Oh, just looking for a book on the bliss scepter or the ecstasy egg. I noticed Terentii trying to find a book...that I believe I saw you take Tycho? Anyhow, it can't be Terentii having the scepter if he needs the book. What good is the book if he has the scepter? I'm looking for a book on the egg itself." Teo turned back to the shelves, but first passed Tycho to look at the binding of the book, to discover the author of that book...what he didn't expect, was the author to be named...
...Terrentii Fortvoyard
Teo came closer now, "Guys, Terentii is the author of this book, but it's so old, it looks as if it was made in the B.C.s, when...hang on," Teo went over to the shelves and took out a book on yoshi history and opened it on a desk. "It says here that yoshis were once savage creatures, and..." he saw an image of a VERY toothed grey yoshi with its comrades of grey pals. "Nearing 20BC, a yoshi was born with a much different shape, a more slender body, walked more on hind legs, and was green. Everywhere he went started gaining color, there was no color at that time. That yoshi...layed a single egg, the Ecstasy egg in BC0AD. It never hatched, but it emitted a glow that hypnotized all the other yoshis...not only hypnotized, but gave new life to. The yoshis started eating less meat and more fruits, which thanks to the egg, could grow at an alarming rate. Everyone wonders what will happen when the egg hatches up to this day if it ever hatches...the only thing we are sure about is, it must never be broken. Rumor has is (and also from personal experience) that a swishing sound is heard inside the egg, looking at it in the dark you will see shapes in it. it is said among the folk that it may hatch a dangerous power, others say it may grant a wish. My belief is that a yoshis egg may do no harm, and it is only good whole."
Teo slammed the book shut, gazed at its author which was of no interest, and looked at the two others. "Gentelmen, whoever this person is, he or she knows what's inside of the Ecstasy egg...and he plans to keep it all to himself," Teo finished.

[2(o)+C -> Executive Order, Utilitarian Compliance]
Leonidas silently trudged along with the group on Terentii's tour, uninterested in the rooms but keeping a close eye on the speaker. While appearing to be friendly enough, there was something about Terentii that made him uneasy. His family members, while different colors, were disturbingly similar in appearance. Before he could ask any questions he was ushered through oak doors into a massive bedchamber.
He watched other members of his group mill around the room, and he strode by the prepared beds one by one, finding none that appealed to him and walking over to a corner, throwing his back against the wall and sliding into a sitting position. He closed his eyes and sighed, before he knew it he drifted off into another dreamless sleep.
*****
"Hey, hey! Do you know how much that book is worth?!" Terentii stumbled out from behind a book-case, marching toward Teo and snatching the book out of his hands, glaring at him. "More than your life! Money can't replace this kind of knowledge...!"
Terentii began pacing around the center of the room, scouring every inch of the book for damage, mumbling, almost whining, to himself. In between each page turn he would spare a glance -and scowl- at Teo along with parts of his rebuttal, before examining the pages and mumbling again. "You think... I wrote this? Nonononono... How could I? Look at... The date! You're saying... My family can't..."

"Experiments..?" Teo started to say.
Teo's reading was interrupted as Terentii marched in and snatched the book on yoshi history. He was just getting to the part about very old yoshis... "It says on the binding a person named Terentii wrote this...anyhow, if it wasn't you, that's a really great author. Maybe Terentii is a common name." He nearly slapped his head, he HAD to stop giving others comeback lines.

OOC: (OH SHOOT!! I ACCIDENTLY HIT THE DELETE BUTTON ON MY LAST POST!!...wait nevermind...i just hit "Back" a couple of times and got it back)
Yoshiken was still amazed to see both of them just pop out like that. He listened to what Teo had to say,
"Wait! this all makes sense! I think i just found out why he is allowing us to stay here with no worry at all! Im beginning to think that we are his....experiments. I mean think about it...This stuff mostly effects yoshis right? Im guessing he wants to see it in action!...but that still doesnt explain how he could be so old and stay in such great condition..."
before Yoshiken could finish his comments he heard footsteps coming to the door. He didnt have time to hide...
OOC: (this came before Teo's post)

Yoshee woke up suddenly. What time was it!? Wait, there were a still a few Yoshis asleep. That was good. Standing up, she decided to see where the rest of the others went.
Yoshee heard a voice from behind the wall to her right; "Gentelmen, whoever this person is, he or she knows what's inside of the Ecstasy egg...and he plans to keep it all to himself." Someone declared. She hid behind the door and eavesdropped on their conversation. Whoever was in there- she guessed it was the Yoshis who weren't sleeping- probably didn't want to be interrupted.

Jayshi was sleeping until he heard a small commotion. He was still tired, but curosity got the best of him, he carefully listened. He heard stuff about experiments.
"WHAT? Experiments? Us? Why? I don't understand!"
Jayshi closed his fist tight enough to make a pluse come out. His teeth showed like he ws ready to bite someone.
"He is not laying a finger on any of us...I'll make sure he doesn't do anything to hurt anyone!" Just when he said that, his glowed a bright green again. His wind energy grew, flowing around him. He wasn't in anger, he was controlling his powers. He let out a big gasp, and his eyes were blue again, and the energy died down.
"I lost it again! If I don't control it, I'll lose it big time...Besides, if we fought that cyclops, we can beat that guy. I might as well cool off. Maybe a small bath will clear it up."
He heard footsteps coming. He decided to wait. He jumped a little and flapped his wings to make it into bed without causing a fuss.

Enrique woke up to talking nearby. He could figure out exactly what they were talking about; he was too tired to notice. After ten minutes, he figured out what the commotion was about; the Ecstasy Egg. Were they going to steal it? And destroy it? Enrique couldn't think start with all the questions circulating his head. The Terentii person still questioned him. He wanted to fall back asleep, but he couldn't; he just looked around the room, still laying in his bed...

Teo, although stressed and worried, retreated to the bed chamber and took a 'cat nap' of ten minutes. His brisk dream was just an image of what the Ecstasy Egg had a chance of looking like. Although a split second dream, he could make out its un-usual size...but saw no special traits.
As Teo woke up, he looked around. He heard a smashing sound which nearly scarred him to death, afraid the egg had really shattered. He looked both ways, felt his body, and looked next door, where a yellow yoshi cook had just smashed a glass and was still red with furry over it. Teo let out a sigh of relief as he started walking around the halls again.

Tempest
~
Tempest woke up, his eyes opening up slowly as the world came back into view. Bright lights caused him to squint, and he looked around. A couple of his companions were still sleeping. He got up, and slowly walked out of the room, careful not to wake any of his sleepy friends. He wandered around the castle, and entered a room with a silver door. Inside, there were all sorts of artifacts. Curious, Tempest stared at each one until he came up to one which caught his attention especially. It was a giant golden mirror, with beautiful carvings and designs all over it. It seemed to glow in the dark room, and pulsed out a vibe of energy. Tempest touched the mirror, and it started to vibrate. Suddenly, the glass started to warp and turned into a pulsating portal. Tempest peered inside the portal, and saw various objects floating and flying by him. He also saw people running in it in a mess of colors and lights. To his shock, he saw a Yoshi running, carrying the Bliss Sceptre! Tempest turned around quickly to tell his friends, when he saw none other then Terentii himself.
"Oh, good, I just wanted to tell you.. I found the culprit! They are in this mirror!" Tempest said nervously.
"Oh, really?" A voice said from behind. Tempest whipped his head, and gasped. Terentii was there. But he was.. in front of him. There were two of them? He turned around and asked,
"What's going on?"
"You picked the wrong day to snoop around, little Yoshi." The first Terentii glared and split into another Terentii, totaling three in the room. They started to approach Tempest menacingly. Tempest understood what was going on.
"No, .. you just picked the wrong Yoshi to attack." Tempest growled, and his eyes started to glow blue. He turned his head to wards a window, and as thunder started to crackle, a lightning bolt flew in, completely shattering the window, and struck the two Terentii's in a chain of lightning. They stood with holes in them, and dissipated in anguished cries. Tempest seemed satisfied, and turned to face the last Terentii, but was greeted by a boot to the chest. Tempest grunted and stumbled back a couple of steps...
..Right into the portal, where his body was sucked into the abyss. Tempest's eyes widened in horror as he saw himself leaving the room, entering a dimension of color and lights..
Terentii grinned evily.
"One down, only nine to go." He turned, his cape behind him.

"TEMPEST!!" Teo came too late as he faced Terentii, shoving him in the mirror along with Tempest, and Teo was obliged to tackle full-on, snarring with his arms and tongue in addition. He released Terentii and shoved him off further while Teo squirmed after Tempest (lots of T names...). Teo tried to do what he did best, and tried to turn into a dragon again, but the dimension kept him from doing that. "Not again," Teo looked around. Lights and colors all around. If it wasn't that the entrance wasn't behind him, it was a nice place. Teo made his way to a flying bookcase which crossed his path, and happened to pull out a flat magazine. "A garfield comic book? A bunch of Superman comics? This is my old human friend's stuff!"
Teo wandered in the dimension, using the bookcase to try and get to Tempest in the no-gravity place. He met Terentii on the way who squirmed in place, wanting a bookshelf to come his way too, but he wasn't as lucky. "Tempest, come on..." Teo reached an arm out as he was passing him, but missed him, as he remembered his yoshi-abilities if you will. He got a hold of Tempest and made them match speeds. "You okay?" He really looked fine...in a way.
(Even if I'm logged out, I might come back in a few seconds or minutes)

"WHAT THE! Something's not right.."
Jayshi jumped out of bed and quickly kicked the door. He skated to where the noise was coming from. He kicked the Silver Door to see a mirror. He looked nearby to see others inside.
"Tempest! Teo! Aw Man! What do I do?"
Jayshi thought for a second and sighed.
"I'm going in...I don't know what's beyond there but it's a risk..."
His Hover Skated started to fire up and Jayshi dashed inside, there he saw a few Yoshies nearby.
"Hey Tempest! Teo! What happened here?"

Enrique heard yelling coming from the hall. It was Jayshi. And Terentii, who shoved Tempest and Teo into a mirror, which seemed to act like a portal. He didn't want to be next. Enrique found a closet in the room and hid in it. Hopefully, he could find somethting to use to attack Terentii. "Dang! I knew this guy was trouble!" Well, a little too late now. Might as well try to save those who weren't thrown in the mirror... He searched around in the closet, but still nothing he could use...

"TEMPEST!!" Teo came too late as he faced Terentii, shoving him in the mirror along with Tempest, and Teo was obliged to tackle full-on, snarring with his arms and tongue in addition. OOC: Jayshi, I tackled Terentii into the mirror... "We've got to find a way out of here..." Teo said a tad worried, until a bag of candy floated by. "Hey, that's the halloween candy from a few years back!" Teo launched his tongue at the bag and brought it close, looking inside and finding all the human candies he knew, snickers, caramel-apple lollipops, almond joys. This was nearly a good thing. "Want some?" Teo offered to Tempest as Teo finally got his head out of the big plastic bag. |

OOC: Terentii can duplicate himself, his coppies could be all over the place
Meanwhile...Tycho was downstairs in the kitchen, unaware of what was going on. He was raiding one of the pantries looking for something to eat when someone tapped him on the shoulder. Startled, he snapped around, a bag of chips in his hand; there stood none other than Terentii. "Uh...I can explain!" Tycho said, worried that Terentii would be angry, instead Terentii grinned and said "really, it's no problem...anyhow, Tempest sent me down here to get you, I believe he needs your assistance with something." Tycho gave a puzzled look and then shrugged, "alrighty then, I guess he found out something about the thief." Tycho began to walk up the stairs, Terentii followed close behind.

Yoshiken was searching around one of the many rooms around the giant mansion trying to search for more artifacts, hoping not to be caught by Terentii. He observed a footstool and then noticed Terentii coming his way.
Yoshiken stated, "sorry, I couldnt sleep, i have too much on my mind, i hope you dont mind."
Terentii replied, "oh no, but...your group asked to see you, if you would just follow me for a second." Yoshiken accepted and walked with him for a bit and noticed Tycho walking up some stairs with...another Terentii!?
"WHAT THE!?" Yoshiken quickly turned around and shouted, "What is going on!?"
"I guess theres no reason to keep you alive now." Terentii split into five and started to approach Yoshiken...

Yoshee hid as the others walked by, going their separate ways. Then, she walked along the hallway, inspecting the artwork on the walls. It had to be ancient, it was so worn and faded. "Cool..." "Yes, definitely." She heard a voice. "Woah!" Yoshee spun around to come face-to-face with... Terentii. "Oh, it's just you. I thought..." She let her voice trail off. "Don't worry. Your friend Tempest wanted you. He's in the room with the big silver door." "Oh. Okay." She walked away, not noticing Terentii following.
It was pretty odd that her teammate would want her now, after being slightly ignored since she had shown up in the museum. Maybe even a little suspicious. But she wanted to prove herself, and walked through the big silver door anyways. "Hey! No one's in here!" She exclaimed. Seeing something moving in the odd mirror, she went over to examine it. "What the... there's people in here!" Her eyes widened. Then, she felt a push behind her. "Oh, crud..." She grabbed whoever was behind her with her tongue and kept her balance, throwing none other than Terentii into the "portal". "Phew..." She took a step backwards, wiping her brow, right into the mirror. Oops.
