The Forgotten Zodiac

((I am? If you say so. Your ideas are cooler.))

Tyler began eating an apple, finally noticing Werr and glaring at him. "Why are /you/ here? You're a weasel."

((Aww. -blushes- I don't think so. A lot of my ideas aren't very good, actually...))

"A...weasel?" Werr blinked in confusion. "I don't think so. I'm Russian." He took another bite of his sandwich, wondering if Tyler had any idea what Russia was.

((Nonsense. We've already had this discussion, remember. It ended with me screaming until you promised never to tell such heinous lies again.))

Tyler sighed. "So what? You're a Brushing Weasel, you're still a weasel." He paused, staring up and down Werr. "It's a very good disguise. Did you kill and eat someone to get their skin, or is that magic?"

((Oh yeah. I forgot. ono Don't start screaming again. Okay, I have good ideas, but that doesn't mean you don't have good ideas, too. :T))

"I'm pretty sure I'm not a weasel," Werr said uncomfortably. "I've killed before, but no, I've never eaten anyone or kept their skin, and...magic? I can't perform magic. I'm not a wizard or a wicca or anything..."

((Don't say that again, and I won't scream. Of course I have good ideas. Putting Tyler alone in a room with Werr was one of my ideas.))

Tyler frowned. "Yes, you are, you did, and you can. You are a weasel here to trick Michael so you can still Dunkin 'cause he's a prince. It's okay. I know that, and you know that, so we can just not trust each other and Dunkin doesn't have to eat you."

((xDD I just hope you weren't thinking Werr would get mad or anything. Werr dislikes hurting people, doncha know. :T))

"...Okay then. Yes, I don't think I would enjoy being eaten, but I didn't come to kidnap anyone." Werr said, shaking his head. "As easy as I think it would be to trick Michael, I have no reason for it."

((No. I just think this is amusing. Werr doesn't seem to get mad easy. Tyler would have to kill his cat or something. Also, Werr /is/ a cat person, right? He just doesn't seem like a dog lover to me.))

"Yes, you do Mr. Weasel." Tyler glared at him. "Stop trying to trick me, it's not going to work. I know that you are a weasel who killed and ate this person so you could use their skin as a disguise. I know that you are here to kidnap Dunkin. You aren't going to trick me."

((Werr is TOTALLY a cat person. Dogs can maul people, in his mind. Of course, I know full well that cats can maul people as well as cats can, but for some reason, dogs don't fit with Werr. :T))

Werr just blinked at Tyler for a long moment. "Very well then. If you insist. I'm a weasel who's going to kidnap this Dunkin person. Not that it's true, but you seem to be insistent, so I'll play along, I suppose."

((I thought so. Michael is also a cat person. Tyler is a dog or bear person. James is a snake person.))

Tyler glared at him again. "It's not a game. This is real, and if somebody doesn't watch you, you'll suck out my soul and eat me. So stop pretending this is funny, it's not fun at all." Tyler finished his apple, and threw the core into the trash can. He then held out a banana to Werr. "Will you peel this please? When I peel things I always smush them."

((Quinn would be a dog person, Lotis would be a, 'I don't care what this is, I'm gonna eat it' kinda guy, and Sylas would be a 'I LOVE EVERYTHING PETS ANIMALS YAY' person. xDD))

Werr just blinked again, frowning a bit. This child was making no sense whatsoever. "I'm not laughing," He said quietly, taking the banana. He flipped it upside-down, pinching the end and opening it that way. It was easier that way, actually. He held it out to Tyler silently.

((I can totally see all of those, which makes the MichaelxQuinn romance in my head even stupider. Am I the only one who writes romances for his roleplay characters in his heads?))

Tyler took the banana, brushed it off, then took a bite. "You said you would play along, playing is fun, and fun is funny. So you thought it was funny. It's not, you know."

Werr frowned a bit. Now it made some sort of sense... "You're competely right. It's not funny at all." He said, quite serious in every way possible. At least now he had some sense of how this child's thought process worked.

((Yes. I just write endings to my roleplays. Sometimes. Most often, I figure out good ways to die. For example, Rush, in the roleplay between me and Hannah, is a Manakete, correct? But his DNA is so twisted and jumbled and stuff that his body wouldn't be able to handle a transformation.

So the Phantom, the main bad guy and stuff, decides to torture Rush by forcing him into a transformation, which will either kill him or make him even more complicated-and-hard-to-draw. But Hannah doesn't want him dead, so I'll probably go the latter. Yah. I totally just used up all this space to explain all that.))

((OOH! DO IT! DO IT! That way I can read some more. I write endings as well, but most of the time I have the endings happen through discussions at weddings, or something similar. Also, I don't want Rush dead either. I think he's nice.))

"Good. I'm glad you understand." Tyler finished his banana and put the peel in the trash can, then turned back to Werr. "So why did you decide to be evil? Couldn't you have been a nice weasel who /didn't/ eat people's insides?"

((Ahaha, wonderful. So now, if Hannah objects, I can just say that I have your blessing. xDD And don't worry, it's her turn for a plot twist, I think. My last one with the whole Library thing was reeeeaaaallllyyyy long, and a lot of character development for just Rush. So yeah, I might give her two turns. xD))

Werr thought for a long moment. "Because I was told that if I didn't follow orders and...be 'evil', they would kill me. I didn't want to die there, so I accepted their terms."

((But no killing or permanently maiming him. I likes him. The whole Library thing was awesome. The only thing awesomer would be a FFTA roleplay. Hinthint. Yes, I am shameless.))

"You should have died." Tyler crossed his arms and glared at him. "Being evil is bad. I think you should change your mind and become a good guy instead."

((It wouldn't 'maim' him, per-say, but he'd still be hurt and his arm and possibly his wings would be changed drastically. Also, Verdi looks like a FFTA2 moogle without the red pompom, and Aries is a Viera. Although, Aries is stuck in the crown right now.))

"Well, considering that I've likely been dubbed a traitor by James, I think that me being a good guy is a good idea." Werr shrugged, taking another swig of the milk.

((Knew about Verdi and didn't know about Aries, 'cause she's in the crown. That doesn't make this an FFTA roleplay though.))

"So you're changing your mind? Let me see your fingers. Once I see them, as long as they aren't crossed, you have to promise." Tyler jumped off the counter and stared up at Werr very seriously. "Promise. Right now."

((I know. xDD))

Werr held up his hands. Of course, none of his fingers were crossed. He was actually missing his pinkie on his right hand, something that was revealed to hardly anyone ever; Werr wore his black gloves most of the time, and the right glove's pinkie was filled with cotton. "I promise, I'm a good guy from here on out. No more hunting down gifted, no more following their orders. And...no more eating people." He frowned a bit, wondering why he was saying this. Perhaps it would satisfy the boy, though.

((You are very good at ignoring non-subtle hints, did you know that?

Also, EWWW. Missing pinkie.))

Tyler cocked his head and frowned, then nodded. "Okay then. From now on you work for me and Dunkin. Mostly Dunkin, but he only talks to me, so it'll feel like you're just working for me, okay?"

Werr blinked for a moment, mulling over his options. What would the kid do if he refused? "Hm...I dunno. Michael seemed pretty intent on me leaving as soon as I'm better. I can barely move my arms above my elbows, but I'm better enough...he might just want me to leave."

((Hannah and my roleplay will never ever become an FFTA roleplay because of how far we've gotten WITHOUT it being that. And also, I don't know enough about FF. So yeah. You enjoy your roleplay with Hannah, whatever it is, but you should come to terms with the fact that just a couple species have been mixed in, but there won't ever be any others coming from me. :T

And also, yes. The Iyoui Werr ran into before did that. We might see him/her, but probably not.))
