[Roleplay] SSMB Crossing: In Another Time, In Another Place. [Read page 345]

[Klinsy]

Hsien-Ko got the first round under way:

Hsien-Ko: "Punchy And Rosie, huh? I suppose, for this round, the theme is cats!"

Rosie: "You gotta be kitten me, these freak meowt."

Punchy: "What do cats use to stir dough? Whiskers!"

[Failinhearts]

"Cat puns, huh? Wonder who would win here..." Sonic observes. "And who's next anyway?"

[Klinsy]

Hsien-Ko passed judgement:
Hsien-Ko: "Hmm, both of these were quite clever, but I'm giving this one to Rosie!"

Punchy: "Hmm, I guess you are the top cat!"

Rosie: "Don't worry, Punchy, you were still good."
Hsien-Ko: "Next round is Madoka vs. Meowkie, prepare yourself!"

[Failinhearts]

"Aright, let's go! I made it this far, right?" Madoka says.

Sonic gives Madoka a thumbs up. "Good luck!"

"We're rooting for ya!" Sayaka says.

[Klinsy]

Hsien-Ko started the show:

Hsien-Ko: "The theme, and oh you are going to love this, the color pink!"

Meowkie: "... That seems kinda limited, but I can try, boss."

"What is a squid's favorite color? Pink! .,.. was that good?"

[Failinhearts]

"Pink? In honor of us? Aww, you're making my cheeks rosy!" Madoka says. "I hope you all pink the best person to be the winner!"

[Klinsy]

Hsien-Ko almost announced the winner:

Hsien-Ko: "I would pick who won, but the thing is that a certain contestant is asleep again, so I'm giving you one more chance!"

Meowkie: "Wow, that makes me feel ... Pinky Keen!"

"... Uh, was that good?"

[Failinhearts]

"That's very sweet of you to give us another chance! He he, I'm tickled pink!" Madoka giggles. "How was that?"

[Klinsy]

Hsien-Ko thought in her mind:

Hsien-Ko: (Both did equally good, but who wins depends on if I want to screw with Homura or not. ... Yeah, I do.)

Hsien-Ko: "And the winner is Meowkie!"

Meowkie: "But Madoka's puns were so much better."

[Failinhearts]

Homura stood up immediately. "What? How on earth did Madoka lose?!"

"Homura, it's okay!" Madoka says. "Meowkie won fair and square!"

[Klinsy]

Hsien-Ko sticks her tongue out at Homura and than quickly hides it:

Hsien-Ko: "Our next match is Calamity vs. Sayaka, but ... she's still asleep, so, uh, do what you want I guess?"

Valkyrie pulled over Hsien-Ko:

Hsien-Ko: "I know what you did ... and I wanted to do that for a long time."

Hsien-Ko: "It's a secret to everyone!"

[Failinhearts]

"Guess I'll just wait for Calamity to wake up. Geez, she should've had some coffee today." Sayaka chuckles.

Homura sits down. "This isn't fair..."

[Klinsy]

Meowkie shook hands with Madoka:

Meowkie: "Boss, somehow I feel like this wasn't fair."

Rosie: "Yeah, it's weird that the one with no experience with puns are winning so far..."

Valkyrie: "It just means you guys are instant experts!"

[Failinhearts]

"You guys just might have a natural talent you're just tapping into!" Madoka says, still shaking hands. "I'm not really that good in puns, myself, so it only makes sense you'd win."

Homura continues to groan.

[Klinsy]

Valkyrie and Dreamy mock Homura with gestures:
Rosie: "... She can see you, you know."

Dreamy: "Good, than she knows the full experience."

Valkyrie: "Maybe I am being a bit mean ... but you know what, she cost me my vote out of spite, so, I'll be as mean as I want."

[Failinhearts]

Homura just looks at the gestures the others are making. "Hmph." She tries not to let the teasing get to her.

However, deep down, she feels really hurt. "No, that's the weakling in me... ignore it..."

[Klinsy]

Meowkie forced them to apologize:

Meowkie: "All of you say sorry to each other, and don't so because I'm tellin' you to do so, but because you actually mean it!"

Valkyrie: "Well, if Meow Pal sees it as evil, than she's right, I'm sorry."

Dreamy : "... I'm sorry, I guess, I just want to be my own person, maybe that's not the right way to go trough it."

Punchy: (A sweet hearted pink haired girl, a cocky swordsmen and a jerk with a hidden heart ... hmm, I think I seen this somewhere before.)

[Failinhearts]

Homura simply stands up and walks away.

Madoka notices her friend leaving. "Homura, wait!"

But it was too late, she disappeared.

[Klinsy]

Valkyrie and Dreamy chased after them:

Valkyrie: "I have to make things right! ... But so does she."

Rosie: "It seems like you three always get in trouble for your own nature, once you get back here, we're going to have a talk."

Dreamy: "Oh, boy..."

Meowkie: "Specifically you, Dreamy, you got the worst attitude of this town despite being mentally older than most of us." 

[Failinhearts]

Homura sits on the edge of a cliff, observing the waves of the beach below. "Why am I having a harder and harder time keeping myself in check?"

"Ever since I became a Disciple, things have just gotten worse and worse now that I know my purpose... but at least I have Madoka. But... it'll just hurt more knowing she'll have to go one day."

[Klinsy]

Hsien-Ko burrowed from under the ground and appeared in front of Homura: 

Hsien-Ko: "Hey, buddy, everything alright?"

Val and Dreamy caught up:

Valkyrie: "I guess I didn't sound sincere but I really did feel bad, we all need to work to make ourselves better."

Dreamy: "We are more than our emotions, I gotta learn if I'm ever to become separate from Serena, I truly had to become a good soul."

[Failinhearts]

"W-What the hell are you doing here?! D-Don't you have a contest to manage?" Homura tumbles over, shocked by the sudden appearance of the tree.

"But... I-I..." She begins whispering. "I appreciate the apology."

[Klinsy]

Hsien-Ko explained:

Hsien-Ko: "Well, our contestant is still asleep, so I got nothing to do right now, besides we gotta take you back to town for a ... talk."

Valkyrie: "A talk about our natures."

Dreamy: "And Madoka wants it."

[Failinhearts]

"Fine." Homura stands up. "Let's go."

"For Madoka's sake."

[Klinsy]

Meanwhile back at town:

Rosie: "Punchy, you can't possibly listen that song 10 times before they come back."

Punchy: "Don't believe me? Just..."

Meowkie: "They're back, bosses."

Punchy: "Watch."
