Current mood: curious

Victor did as he always did in the morning, he went for a morning run. The weather was beautiful so he couldn't help but try to enjoy it.

Try being the key word.

Susan's brother 13 was still in his statuesque predicament. Police had few leads.

He knew his friend needed help, but he really didn't know what to do to help her. Adding to that the new people on the block. Tessa, Merrick, and Amaya. A strong link to Ava and his past.

Vic didn't know how to feel on that. After everything that happened at the end, he just wanted to leave that part of the past in his past. For reasons he still kept hidden, even to his friends. He didn't talk about it and when the subject was brought up he was vague and dodgy. Just a part that still hurt him to bring up.

He was trying to move forward with his life. But its true what they say, you cant outrun your past. It'll just come back to bite you in the ass.

Victor stopped outside of 13's place. He decided to go in and take another look around. Maybe there was something worthwhile that they all missed.

Victor would eventually find that he was not alone in the house as there was a woman currently going through the imp's dvd collection with a very unhappy look.

There was already a pile of dvds stacked up on the bed, their contents already seen. She obviously hadn't found what she was looking for.. though she had found a few inflatable sheep in one of the cabinets. They had inflated automatically and were now sitting in a corner when she had punted them.

"You know...I'm actually afraid of what 13 does with those sheep. I'm not even going to ask because I really don't want to know," He said from behind Kia.

"Find anything?"

She screamed and the dvds in her hands went flying into the air, and as they began to fall to the floor, the woman immediately spun around and took a defensive fighting stance.

Her eyes narrowed but a flicker of confusion went through them. Superman? She shook it off. Nah. Nexus thing. "I found a lot of things," she said slowly as one of her hands reached toward the custom made utility belt she wore. She had all sorts of gadgets in there and she was rather sure they'd be useful if the guy was a threat. "You know, trespassing is a crime. I'll bet you shouldn't be here."

"And I'm betting you shouldn't be here either miss. But I'm only here cause a friend of mine's brother was put under some kind of spell and I want to help put him back to normal...despite how annoying he can be."

He casually walked towards her. "Of course I think we're skipping over the main crime here which is 13's taste in furniture."

"I probably have more of a right to be in here when compared to you." She said warily as the hand at her waist pulled something out of her belt.

Surprise! She now had a crossbow aimed at him. How did a crossbow fit in her utility belt? If asked, she could easily explain the wonders of nexus shopping and having two unofficial patron goddesses supplying her with awesome birthday gifts like stuff with magic pockets and subspace. "Not another step or I swear you'll permanently lose the use of your right arm." Was she that good of a shot? Did he want to risk it?

"I'm friends with Susan. Want to help her figure out what happened to her brother," he said as she pointed the crossbow at him.

He had been put in life and death situations before. But when you have a weapon pointed at you, it would be best to reveal some of your information, but not all of your cards.

"Now if you're going to shoot me, then shoot me. I'm gonna help my friend. Even if I have to do it with one arm."

She lowered the crossbow a smidge and frowned. He kept saying something was wrong with a friend's brother, which in this case was apparently 13 since he mentioned Susan. What the hell had the imp gone and done now?

"Let's say I believe you..." Was he genuine? She wasn't sure. She was usually a good judge of character, but when in the nexus playgrounds, one never knew for sure. "Please elaborate your little tale of woe and despair."

"Somehow 13 got turned to stone. Details are unknown, but its possible his girlfriend is behind it somehow and I know what you're going to say, 'He doesn't have one'. We found evidence after it happened that prooved contrary."

He was kinda relived she put the crossbow down, but after some of what he went through an arrow wasn't much.

"Doctor from some hospital came to check on him. Think he's still in their care. No clue how he can be fixed."

13 was stoned? She struggled with the desire to snicker at that. It wasn't funny. Ok, it was. Hell, the vindictive part of her thought it was fitting, especially considering the reason she was there. "Not so weirdly, the girlfriend thing is far more shocking compared to the whole stoner situation."

Would he change his mind about her crossbow if he knew it was loaded with explosive bolts?

"So, what, 13 is still stoned?" She was finding it a little hard not to give in to the snickering. Karma really was a bitch. "How long has he been like that?"

Before Victor could answer, a dark portal opened and Susan came walking in.
She paused as she saw Kia standing in a pile of 13's dirty dvds, a few inflated blow up sheep gently baaaa'ing in a corner and Victor standing there with his arm semi-raised as Kia held a crossbow, admittedly not pointing directly at Victor but near enough.

"Um, am I interrupting something? I can come back later if you two are busy." Susan said with a faint grin on her face.

"Just filling in on your brothers' current situation...trying to avoid becoming the pincushion man," he said nodding to Kia.

"How are you sweetie? You look lovely today. Wanna tell Crossbow Girl I'm one of the good guys?"

Susan nodded at Kia. "He's okay. Don't shoot him...yet."

Susan looks around the room. "So what are you looking for Kia? I mean I wouldn't think whatever dvds 13 has would be anything that would interest you. And who let the sheep out?"

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She arched an eyebrow and put the crossbow away. Despite the 'yet' in Susan's comment, she figured it was okay to play nice now. Kia kept her eyes on the guy though even as she replied to Susan. "I was having lunch at the cafe and heard some people talking about a dvd recently released. Apparently that perv of a number has some kind of dvd in circulation about the trio. I'm here to find it, destroy it, beat the living crap out of the imp, and possibly light his house on fire.."

"And then I was going to tell Sil." She ran a hand through her dark hair. "As for the sheep, I opened a cabinet and whoosh. There they were. So I punted them across the room."

Vic gives Susan a small hug. "My hero." He hoped that if Susan hadn't come in he would not have been shot, but this girl seemed to have an itchy trigger finger.

"Those sheep frighten me. I don't know what he does with those. And I REALLY don't wanna know."

"The sheep scare you, don't ever ask to see his ass."

Victor pushes Susan an arm's length away and looks at her funny.

"I mean his blow up Jackass...eses. Jackasses? In any case he sells them in Mexico for a donkey blow out festival."

Susan shudders.

Susan looks over at Kia. "He is still doing that? I thought after the last time the Trio threatened to skin him alive he stopped?"

"We did threaten.. hell, we even have Sil ready to go grr on the little jerk." She rolled her eyes and shrugged. "Apparently it has no effect on him."

Her eyes were still on the guy. "So who is this guy anyway?" A smile started to grow. "Is he a new boyfriend?" Was he? Because that would be interesting. Mostly because she'd have loved to have seen Weirdbard's reaction to that.

"I'm Victor. And no, I'm not her boyfriend. We're just really good friends," Vic explained.

He loved Susan. Just not in the romantic way. He wasn't looking to date anyone at the moment really. But that was another issue.

"I'm Susan's and Miki's neighbor."

Victor. Huh. Nice name. She offered a hand for him to shake. "Kia Devlin. Ex-nanny, part time illustrator, part-time mini adventurer, full time over protective mother hen."

"I have no idea who this Miki is, but if Susan considers you a friend then I'll just reserve the right to hunt you down for sport at a later date." Her threat was accompanied by a slight smile, but she was completely serious. The last time someone pulled one over a friend she left the psycho to be killed in a hell dimension of sorts.

"Nice to meet you Kia," he said shaking her hand.

She may have smiled, but he could tell that she was serious.

"Not going to be a problem. Last thing I want to do is be hunted down again."

"Well, in case anyone is curious. I've been to try and check on 13's condition. The doctor has him at some dreadful hospital called Dark Place but he won't let anyone see him. He says he is quarantined in case the condition turns out to be contagious. Frankly I think he just chipped 13 and he is trying to keep us from finding out."

Susan paced a bit.

"I've tried and tried to get ahold of Bardy, or Mavra or even Reiko but so far I've had no luck. Which makes me think they are either fighting for their lives in a sealed off dimension... Or Mavra and Reiko have taken Bardy shopping and talked him into closing down his connections with his imps till they are done."

"The only thing keeping me from freaking out entirely about the whole thing is, Washu is working alongside Dr. Dagless to find out what happened to 13 and to find a cure. Her I trust completely. Dagless? Not so much."

Washu was on the job? Kia couldn't decide if that was good or bad so she held her opinion in check. "So, right.. he's stoned, but being worked on. Any idea of the hows and whys?"

She resumed her dvd search as she spoke. "What are you guys trying to do now? Detective work? Hunting? Raging panic in the streets?"

"Detective is on the job. I'm just want to help. Not sure on the how, but as for the why?"

The answer was kind of simple.

"You've met the guy right?"

"I probably know him better than you." Kia said to him with a wry smile. "Before he got even worse as a person he was kind of the trio's unofficial mascot."

She did pause in her search again and glanced at both Vic and Susan. "So, what, are you a detective or do you mean someone else?"

"The fact I barely know the guy and can find a reason someone would want to do what they did."

"Someone else. Guy named Parker," he turned for Susan to confirm. He was bad with names. "Anyways, he works for the Inter-Dimensional police. Investigating as best they can but when your world consists of a nexus, does make it harder to track down people."

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]susan_imp
2009-05-11 10:38 pm UTC (link)
"Yeah, Parker is his name. He's trying to track down 13's girlfriend since we think she saw him last. The guy has his work cut out for him since none of us know 13's girl's name or what she looks like. 13 really kept her secret."

Susan folds her arms in annoyance. "It's almost as if he is embarrassed of us!"

[info]kiaransalee

She set a few more dvds aside with a scowl. How many did the little bugger have? "Maybe he was. 13 is a freak these days, more so than usual. Maybe to him normal is something to be ashamed of."

"Or maybe this girl just doesn't like anyone and so he plays by her rules. She could have him whipped." Kia made a face. "And that's a visual I didn't want. Sorry if you got it too."

"If he was hiding a girlfriend, then he'd probably hide evidence of it."

He turns to Susan. "Susie. If you were your brother, where would hide something like that. Pictures or any kind of evidence of a girlfriend."

He wondered if the perv had a hidden camera set up in his room somewhere.

"Well that's the problem. If there was anything that 13 didn't want found he would just store it in an empty dimension. All us imps do that. And unless I was to get extremely lucky, or unlucky as the case maybe, I would never be able to find which dimension 13 is using."

Susan sighs.

"Weirdbard could find it. He can always sense where we try to hide stuff but he wouldn't interfere or mess with the stuff we are trying to hide unless it was an emergency. And I can't find Weirdbard to ask him anyway!"

Kia had no suggestions to offer. Frankly she was at a loss as to what to say in general. On one hand she felt bad for Susan and 13.. on the other.. she kind of hoped the imp stayed stone. It was selfish and ride of her, but even she was tired of 13's 'antics'. They weren't funny or amusing anymore.

"Did you check Cragmore?" Kia asked, figuring she probably had.

"Yeah but 13 hasn't been around there for a long time. Not since getting his place here."

"Wait! I just remembered! I was around 13 once when he opened the dimension he uses for storage. I think I can remember the 'combination' of it!"

Susan closes her eyes for a moment and a portal opens above Kia...
and hundreds and hundreds of dvds and blow up chickens, sheep, and female dolls fall on her.

"Oops." Susan says with a horrified look on her face.

[info]kiaransalee

Kia shrieked as the items fell on top of her. She barely had time to shielded her head with her arms before 13's stash piled up on her.

When the items finally stopped moving, it was hard to tell just where Kia was exactly. A few items shifted as her hand tried to break free from the disaster zone. "A little help?" Her voice was muffled and there was a little bit of a whimper. "Please? There's something touching me and I'm afraid to open my eyes to see what it is."

Victor who was trying not life chuckles a little and walks over to the giant pile and grabs Kia's hand and pulls her out of the giant mess of porn. He lifts her up and places her away from the pile.

"Okay, I'm gonna need a bottle of disinfectant and a large bottle of sanitizer."

He looks at the pile. "And if there's any evidence in there...I'm gonna need some gloves."

He rethinks it. "Make that three pairs of rubber gloves. That should be enough."

"You know you guys are being silly. I mean its not like this stuff has been used or anything. It's just 13's stock he sells."

Susan starts to walk over before her eyes grew wide and she backed up a bit. "Unless of course I opened his storehouse into the 'returns' section?"

"What is that shiny stuff on Kia's shoulder?" Susan asked in horror.

Kia cried out in horror and tried to get whatever it was off her shoulder. ""Oh sweet mother of god.. I think I need to be decontaminated.. or lit on fire now!"

She continued to wipe whatever it was off of her and shuddered. Oh thank god, it was just glitter. "God, I felt less dirty after I banged Dean in his car... And god knows how many chicks he's had in there..."

"I don't know who this Dean guy is, but I really don't want to know what's in his back seat if she felt less dirty doing that than Imp 13's stuff."

Vic looked around the room.

"So there's no way to know specifically where he hid anything about this girl? Great. Its just like a needle in a haystack...the size of a planet."

He had to have kept one thing somewhere that would lead to the mystery woman and would lead them to an explanation of 13 going all rock hard.

"Well...I only opened a portal to the dimension 13 is using for storage. We... could go over to that dimension and see if we can find anything? I mean an empty dimension can be as large as a planet. 13 would most likely store everything close together, I do but who knows?" Susan suggested but she didn't seem eager.

"An empty dimension used for storage, there is no telling what 13 has stored over there."

"Okay. I'm on board...uh," he looks around and whispers. "We get havmat suits right? Cause I'm actually worried about what might be found there."

There wasnt enough sanatizer in the world to clean him if he went in normal. He needed something to keep him from the germs.

The thought of going into 13's storage did not appeal to Kia one bit. "I'm too old for this shit," she mumbled under her breath. "I seriously doubt hazmat suits would be of any use to us..."

"I don't suppose we could hire someone else to look in there."

"The only thing is, the type of person or being that we could find that would be willing to go in there to search, would probably be the type that we would have trouble getting them to come out again."

Susan opened a door sized black portal and all of them eye'd it nervously. "You don't suppose he has any...um, livestock in there do you?" Susan asked nervously.

Vic cautiously picks up a rubber sheep.

"I hope not, that would be baa-d."

He couldn't help himself. He tossed the sheep to the side and approaches the black portal. He was mostly doign this for Susan. 13 wasnt very pleasant when they met, which put him on his list. But in the end, he was her brother. And he was more than willing to help his friend.

"So, uh...in we go yes?"

Kia made a face at his pun. Why was it that all the cute guys she met always had such major flaws? Her life just wasn't fair.

She shook her head and held up her hands, "Yeah, no. You two go enjoy yourselves. I can't spare the time to get lost in 13's maze of shoperotica toys." She tapped her watch. "I need to go and pick up my girl from school.. So.. yeah. I'll swing by later or something and see how you did."

She headed for the door with a shake of her head. "Good luck with the search. You're going to need it." With a polite wave she made her exit.

Vic waves. "Bye."

He turns to Susan. "Guess its just the two of us...in a potentially porn filled dimension."

He pauses for a moment. "Miki will be sad she missed this."

He smiles and holds up his arm for her to link. "Shall we?"
