[accidental audio/action for CH 5]

--at's it. I'm gonna pulverize--

[The words, made audible through an accidental feed on the journal that Cliff threw aside, were cut off by the crack of splintering wood as his fist slammed into it at full throttle. Cliff had finally awoken from his shift-induced dream, and he was pissed. It was just unfortunate that the first person he saw that morning had to be the target for his frustration at the Malnosso.

He was going to crush their captors...after he crushed Albel Nox.

It wasn't going to be pretty.]

[very intentional audio]

Sorry 'bout the mess this morning. Technical difficulties. Won't happen again.

Now. What the hell was that last week? A shift? That's one helluva-- [He stopped and took a deep, calming breath.] Don't tell me that happens all the time.

I'm more than game if anyone wants to work off some stress. See ya at the Barracks. Or the Dome. I dunno.

Cliff Fittir. Over and out.

[action]

[True to his word, Cliff could be found at both the Barracks and the Battle Dome at various points throughout the day, as he restlessly wandered between the two facilities because neither actually fit his needs for the moment. A good spar was what he had in mind, although he wouldn't say no to company with someone that didn't know him and was actually sane.

Don't worry. He'll be cool.]

But...but they're food. How can food be annoying?

[This guy doesn't seem to make much sense does he?]

I take it you've never had a mob of 'em crawlin' all over, have ya?

[A mob?]

Weeeee...aren't talking about the same thing here are we?

If you're talkin' 'bout the food? No. If you're talkin' 'bout sentient fungi that like to get in your way? Yep.

Definitely not talking about smart fungus. I think that would be horror book fuel right there.

But what kind of world do you live in where mushrooms can literally attack you?

[Remind him not to eat food from this Cliff's world either.]

Edited 2013-03-04 19:20 (UTC)

....wait. You're also from a world where you don't need to worry about monsters?

sheesh. How many are there??

Yeah, earth tends to have no monsters jumping out from nowhere and trying to eat your face. Just animals and they're like in the woods and stuff.

But, I dunno, a lot probably?

You from Earth? Figures. [That was the dominant demographic in Luceti. There were no other Klausians that he met...but at least there was that Fellpool. It made the place feel a little more normal to him.]

Well, a place called Earth. I've learned there's probably people from Multiple earths. Weird huh?

[He had read old entries and looked in the books at the library. So far it looked like Earth was a common name in a lot of worlds.]

But, you're not from a place like that I'm guessing?

Nope. And I figured the thing about multiple Earth's back in my first week. With so many people from there, something had to be up.

[He shrugged. No matter where he went in any universe, he was going to be the odd man out.]

Oh, uh...

[Now he felt kind of stupid. How does he go about undoing that?]

Well, um, I'm sure the mushrooms aren't that big a problem, right?

[Wait, no this was the opposite of making things better. But, he's said it and he's instantly regretting it.]

They're annoying, but can be punted.

...

They're mostly annoying.

I don't think I'd want food to be attacking me either, so I can get why you find them annoying.

[Struck by a sudden inspiration, Cliff couldn't fight back a grin.]

How 'bout a taste of the real deal sometime, kid? Wanna test your patience against the little guys?

Hmm?

[That was pretty sudden.]

You mean like in a simulation? Uh, sure if you're up to it. I could use the practice, since I normally just fight people.

And I don't like fightin' sims.

It's not like we need to go right now. Just...for whenever. You know.

Oooooh...so you mean practicing with you, huh? Yeah, I'm down with that whenever. I don't have much to do these days.

Something like that. We can even go it easy if you'd like, or just mess with it. It can come up with some pretty cool things.

Easy is for beginners.

[Does he sound just a tad bit cocky?]

By the way, my name's Cross.

[There was cockiness and there was stupidity. Know your enemy, kid.]

Cliff. If you're lettin' me run the show? I'll determine what's easy and what's not.

[Because you really don't want to fight The Marquis on the first go.]

Yeah, sure no probs, sir.

Just let me know whenever you want to start.

I've got nothing but time on my hands, so you give me a ring.

No rush. It's a li'l cold out.

I'll be sure to do that, Mr.Cliff. So, I guess until the spring time than.
