"Maybe ye can use a little more TACT next time, not that I'd expect any from someone who's DEED." His accent shows more as he gets upset. "Way to bloody scare 'em off, ya flippin' stinkin', brainless, decayin' pile a' organs!" Karth shouts at Mira once the Koopa has split the scene. "How we supposed to get 'em now?! Now we haven't GOT a lead, we got NOTHIN'. And now we ain't gonna get paid, thanks to YOU, not that it matters to a corpse, methinks..."
Karth rubs his forehead, staring up at the sky. "Aye..." He pulls out a small flask from his vest, taking a swig from it. "... still got me drink, at least... 's good..."

Syleena glares at Mira and she resisted the urge to say something. "So. Now what happens?" she asked Champ.

Mira frowns as he disappears, tearing the bloody and pus-covered ice shard out of her arm which she drops to the ground- soon following it as she makes her way back to the group. She flinches visibly at Karth's words, covering her face with her mask.
"The hell was I supposed to do? Let him monologue at us? Yeah, real useful of you guys just kinda standin' over there doin' your thing, that's cool. If we're gonna get some stuff done, ya gotta get in there! Dance with the enemy and they'll dance right back, don't worry. I doubt it'll be the last time we'll see the punk."
She brushes herself off, giant shards still sticking out of her at odd angles.

"Did you ever think that Champ have some sort of plan for us to do?" Syleena said sarcastically.

"As if. He ain't gonna want nothin' to do with us, methinks." Karth replies, eyeing the inside of his flask. "Ehh... can't afford to get drunk on a mission right now, as badly as I want to forget this." He puts it away, having calmed down by now, though still visibly annoyed.
"Well, now what."

Champ's bushy green brows hung low over his eyes. "There's this thing, it's called sneaking up behind or shooting from a distance where he can't react as quickly."
The wind was beginning to pick up, carrying low-hanging thick clouds over the parched land. Your guide glanced up at them. "I don't know if we'll see him again. He probably ain't stupid, unlike certain people. We'll have to go back to the League and see if they can pick up another lead for us. It's at the heart of the Kingdom. Two-day hike I think, unless we can catch a bus. But they don't come around here often." He turned to head back to Idlewind, sitting quietly and innocently on the horizon behind the dust clouds sweeping the road. He shouldered his way past Mira. "Might wanna clean up. We still got all day. If we hurry we can get there tomorrow night."

Yoshiken stood in silence from the point where the fight with the magikoopa started until it ended. He didn't join in, nor did he even make an attempt to. Yoshiken felt that he didn't have enough information to judge the situation correctly. He also had to be cautious, because he didn't know what kind of spells this magikoopa had in its arsenal. He had no idea whether this koopa was even actually evil, or if it was just some personal vendetta that Champ's superiors had against him. In fact, he still wasn't even sure if Champ was trustworthy. Without any of this knowledge, Yoshiken would continue to refrain from attacking (unless he had to defend himself, of course).
It didn't matter though, for the koopa quickly retreated after some rash decisions were made. Yoshiken listened to Champ's reaction, and was glad to hear that they would be able to visit this 'League' and see who they actually were, as well as their intentions. "If there is a chance to arrive by tomorrow night, then lets stop wasting our time just standing here," he responded, anxious for answers.

A figure was leaned up against a large rock sleeping. Eyes shut, mouth hanging open, and belly fills and deflates with each breath. A strong gust of wind blows dirt in his face. "Ack! Bleh!" The figure awakens and gags coughing the dirt back out. "Yuck! I hate it when that happens." Large eyes scanned the area, there was a blanket of grass with patches of earth surrounding him. A mirror-like lake was several yards away. Behind him was a caramel colored boulder almost oval in shape with a dent where his head was resting. "I don't remember being in this place..." The figure stands up feeling small compared to the expansive environment that surrounds him. "In fact...this place is completely unfamiliar to me."
He rubbed his head with his hand but stopped and stared at his hand. "What happened to my hand?? It's all swollen, severely discolored, and....a finger is missing!" His eyes tried to peer down but his big round nose was in the way. "My nose is swollen too? Wow it must be the size of a basketball! Did I catch some disease?" Next he tried to walk over to the lake but tripped falling face first in some grass. He attempted to get up but fell on his bottom. Sitting there he noticed he was wearing red boots with gold colored soles. "These are not my shoes...but they're quite stylish." He turned his head to look at his back. He saw a saddle and his short stubby tail. "Wha...those weren't there before!" The scared creature stood up straight and walked over to the lake with the expertise of a toddler. He looked at his reflection and saw a dark-teal skinned dinosaur with a white belly, red spines on the back of his head, and has big round eyes. "I must be dreaming! Do my eyes deceive me? I look like a yoshi!"
The confused yoshi washed off all the dirt and grass that was stuck to him and then walked away from the lake. Gradually getting used to walking in his new shape he soon reached a road. "I need to find out where I am..." He picked one direction and looked out at the long winding path of the road. He started walking and hoped he would meet up with someone soon.
(Very sorry about the long intro. I'll try to keep my posts shorter than this from now on.)

"Can agree to that, mate. Let's get this show on tha road, aye? Not doin' much good, dinkin' around this place. Lead the way, Champ."
Karth gestured to Champ to do just as he stated.

Syleena looked at Champ and waited for him to lead them.

Ra was sitting in the back throughout the whole ordeal, his arms and legs crossed as he chuckled to himself. "Bahahahaha! What a show, what a show!" He shrugged a bit before letting out a loud, irritated sigh. "No buses... that means...oh great, I'm going to have to walk with the lot of you, aren't I?" Ra said as he grunts. Being his first time traveling in this area, he took a good look at his surroundings before standing up and scratching the back of his head, "Ehhh, lead the way... umm... 'thingie.'"

Champ was already way down the road! He looked over his shoulder to glare back at the others as he marched. "Hurry up! If you can't keep up we'll never get there!"
As he was not watching where he was going, he crashed right into the teal Yoshi.

The teal colored yoshi fell back landing on his bottom again. "Uh....sorry about that." He got up and dusted himself off. "Hey I have a question...can you tell me where I am? I seem to have gotten lost and I have no idea where I should go."
He stepped back and examined the ghostly creature. In the distance down the road he could see a penguin-like person and another person from far away what he thinks is a humanoid creature with long brown hair. Farther out he could see a light black yoshi. Interesting lot...they seem to be together seeing how this ghost was just shouting out to them. Maybe if I meet other yoshis I can learn more.

Karth watched Champ clobber into the teal Yoshi, shook his head, and then jogged on up next to him.
"Well, actually, I was watchin' ya run straight into that lad right there 'cause ye aren't watchin' where ya goin'!" Karth said, gesturing at the teal Yoshi. "Arright, enough messin' around. Git goin'!"
He looks up at the teal Yoshi. "Eh? Oh... ask this guy." He gestures at Champ. "As far as I'm concerned, I'm in the middle of nowhere, where everything is too tall, too warm and too... STOOpid, as they say." He gives a disapproving evil eye behind him at Mira.

Mira scoffs and tries to stay in the front now, ignoring the group's criticisms of her actions. She chalks it up to a misunderstanding and picks up her chainsaw which rests on her back once more, able to comfortably fit after she removes a few more ice shards.
When Champ runs into the teal yoshi Mira gets up close to inspect, holding her mask to her face. She laughs a little at Karth, her laugh sounding more like a raspy cough. "Well maybe if you dinint act so stoopid you wouldn't hear it as often, brainiac. I calls 'em like I see 'em."
She taps Teal on the head a bit. "We're the traveling freakshow on a retarded quest of greed, murder and heroism, and you sound like you can totally join."

The teal yoshi was terrified of the zombie. This was evident due to his eyes being dilated now. He tensed up when the zombie tapped him on the head.
After a moment of silence he blinked and spoke quietly "That's nice...heh." After a nervous laugh he looked at the ghostly creature and his eyes went back to the zombie girl. I need to find out what the heck this place is! "So....is he ok?" Pointing at the ghostly guy who ran into him.

"Oh, I wouldn't be too hard on yourself." Syleena told Karth. "After all we apparently ALL our STOOPID, according to 'Deadles'." Syleena rolled her eyes at Mira.

Greg had watched the Koopa come and go. It didn't bother him. They would have other chances. So he continued on, noticing that a new traveler had shown up in there path: a teal yoshi. It was a good thing that this one was a different color, because aside from the different shades and hues, Greg really couldn't tell the difference between any of them...

"Well, that sure was... something, I guess. I take it we're not using the 'run directly at him in broad daylight' method next time we see this turtle guy? It doesn't seem to have much potential for actually capturing him."
Moot looked over towards Champ. "So do we know of anywhere else where this turtle guy hangs around? Might be an idea to hit those places up, provided we don't telegraph anything by having any dead people with chainsaws ruining the surprise, you know?"

Mira whips around and looks at Syleena. "Yeah 'kay lets make fun of the dead chick that's, like, cool you know. You're the ones bein' all hostel."
She shrugs and turns around, putting her hands in her pockets.
