∞ 70: An odd sense of... [voice/action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[voice]

If anyone has seen Professor Sage's journal, I would appreciate having it returned to our house, number 42. [He's fairly certain the Malnosso will bring it back to Raine eventually, but it can't hurt to put out a public service announcement.]


[action]

[As it's becoming more and more obvious that something has happened (and not all that long after his entry over the laptop), Albert stands outside on the side of the road, looking towards the center of town.

...He has the vaguest sense of déjà vu.]

But dude... I have a BARREL PLANE! [He points to his, yes, Barrel Plane.] It so totally rocks!

[chikaidestroyer]

[Where did that come from?] A ... barrel plane.

Will this lead into a musical number?

[cantfunkthat.livejournal.com]

[Funky climbs into the plane and turns back. He offers a hand to Albert.] Do you trust me, dude?

I think it's fairly inevitable!

[chikaidestroyer]

[He has every right to just say "No"; this ape just appeared out of nowhere, after all. So instead of taking his hand, Albert will ask a wary question.]

And that "barrel plane" can fly?

[cantfunkthat.livejournal.com]

Of course, dude. You have to trust me!

[chikaidestroyer]

[He's a bit hard-pressed to trust the stranger. ...But at the same time, what could it hurt? In all seriousness, he doubted that "barrel plane" could go very fast at all -- if it could fly.]

Very well. There are benefits to most risks.

[cantfunkthat.livejournal.com]

[Once Albert is aboard, the Barrel Plane starts to rise in the air.]

Dude, I'm totally going to show you the world.

[chikaidestroyer]

[Oh dear Runes, it's rising. He's starting to have second thoughts...]

...Is there anything to hold on to in here?

[cantfunkthat.livejournal.com]

Hold on to me, dude! We're bustin' out of here, old school style!

[The barrel starts rising higher and higher. They're way past the treetops now.]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Is this actually happening? Now Albert's loathing the fact that he decided to be fairly spontaneous for once. What is he going to do?

...

...

He holds on to the Funkster.]

[cantfunkthat.livejournal.com]

DUDE... THIS... IS... IT!!!

[They're heading towards the barrier... any second now.]

[chikaidestroyer]

[This is it.]

Cuz I have no idea how far I can push this

[cantfunkthat.livejournal.com]

[Aaaaaaaaand they suddenly stop.]

Oh dude, before we go, did you forget anything?

A good call XD

[chikaidestroyer]

[Long, long pause.]

Yes. Yes, I did.

Let's turn this ... barrel plane around.

SUCKS TO BE NEW

[cantfunkthat.livejournal.com]

Are you sure, dude? This might not get up again!

[chikaidestroyer]

I'm sure. [He pauses.] I'm very sure.

[Bizarre risks aside, he's still got things to do here.]

So... do you know who I am?

[cantfunkthat.livejournal.com]

[Once they get to the ground again, Funky hops out. His expression becomes serious and he puts a hand on Albert's shoulder.] Dude. I know like, you probably won't remember this due to the whole bogus Malnosso experiment thing, but you gotta listen dude. This is important.

Of -course- I know. I didn't know you could troll Albert so hard!

[chikaidestroyer]

[Albert's expression quickly follows the ape's into seriousness once they're away from the barrel plane. He's quashing confusion at the change of attitude, but the awareness Funky Kong's shown is ... different.]

Important?

I am an expert troll

[cantfunkthat.livejournal.com]

[Funky looks down quietly... and then gives him a banana.] Dude, you must embrace your inner banana. I can sense that your own inner banana is brown, wilted, and smell like gym socks. If you remember anything about me, dude, remember this. To deny the inner banana's qualities of love, happiness, and having a righteous time is to embrace the way of the kremling, which is so non-non-heinous.

I have to go now, dude. I can't help you anymore. [He gets a distant look in his eye as he looks into the sky.]
