Description: *Season One, Ep Compilation* From the archives of season one, comes this thrilling compilation of three classic episodes! Do not miss Ninja puppies need a home, The Fishmonster Attacks and bonus unused footage, all re mastered from the exciting runaway smash hit of season one!
A hustler?! What was that little punk thinking? He had the nerve to call a clear witch, with the hat, the broom, the stylish outfit - a real seer - a hustler..? Didn't everyone know that real witches lived on the fringe of society anyway and didn't have the luxury of paper money? Of course Naerose couldn't afford air fair of her own. So this had been going through her mind all morning since she slept under the Metro bridge, her meeting with Hokutomaru. She had honestly forgotten his name, but not his words. She also remembered that he would be here, getting on a plane back to Southtown. So she knew where to wait.
Nu nu nu, she had to dodge security. So she decided to wait outside of the check in. But what if he was being ninjatacular? Well she'll have to bait him to come to her. She'll just get a box, fill it with stuffed animals and draw the caption,
'These ninja puppies need a home'. What is a ninja without ninja dogs? Unfortunately she couldn't afford the stuffed animals, so she used Silvester the bunny, her familiar instead. After a little bit of make up, a clubbing over the head with her broom, the rabbit was ready to be a still tuff of fur. Last was her disguise. For that she'd just find a few trash bags, put them together and be a homeless person in a rain pancho. Lots of Ninja puppy trainers wore these. Right?
Anyone can be a hustler! It doesn't matter if your a witch, a priest, or a ninja, none of those are mutualy exclusive with hustling poor, innocent young ninja out of their hard earned money! But, to be honest? Hokutomaru had completely forgotten about what had happened. As strange as the encounter was, he had just put it out of his mind and moved on; it wasn't like he'd ever see that strange lady again, was it? And so the next morning he makes his way to the airport, fully refreshed from sleeping in a nice, warm, comfortable... tree branch. Who cares if he can afford a hotel room? He couldn't bare to be trapped inside like that, especally in an unknown city.
And what's this? Ninja puppies? What the heck is a ninja puppy? Are puppies capable of learning the art of Ninjitsu? While not terribly interested in owning a puppy he is somewhat interested in the concept of a puppy that is also a ninja, and so he walks over, his head stuck out so he can look into the box and see what that's all about.
This was all going well and according to plan. The next step of Naerose operation when she sees Hokutomaru walk up, which she seemed over confident enough would happen - was to trap him! At closer look she had the trash bags covering pretty heavy, but what was visible of her face is obscured by a mustache, fake of course, it seems to be fashioned out of some dried grass. It is at least brown grass, but clearly not hair, all the same Naerose waits for Hokutomaru to look in at the 'Ninja puppies'. Silvester from inside the box would probably fix him with large hopeful eyes that just plead 'Get me away from this crazy woman.'
"Hah! Now I have you!" exclaims Naerose, who herself is clearly not a witch. In her mind the next stage of the operation was to be hitting Hokutomaru over the head with her broom before he knew what hit him. She imagined this so many times, he knells down, she smacks him.
Unfortunately the human mind is incredibly capable of making up plans that work perfectly without beginning to consider execution. All and all her plan wasn't that hard to pull off, she just neglected to think of how hard it would be to execute wrapped in a plastic trash bag. So instead of a "Hah, I have you now- " *THWAK* it's more of a . .
"Hah, I have you no- damnit, err, shoot, can you help me get out of this?" All the while fiddling with the plastic, her broom stick apparently tangled in it something fierce along with the rest of the witch.
Hokutomaru looks at the... thing that doesn't look very much like a rabbit, and then stands up and looks at the person who doesn't look very much like a ninja. What the heck? "...I think your puppy is sick with some kind of horrible disease, because it doesn't look very much like a puppy..." He blinks a bit, "You have me? I don't think so?" Ack! This person needs help, and he's just the person to help... it! He reaches over and tries to drag the plastic bag off of Naerose, having seen a bit of clothing underneath that shouldn't be a problem. And so she is un-garbage bagged. "You! It's you! I knew it! You're trying to sell fake ninja puppies that aren't ninjas and aren't even puppies! You /are/ a hustler after all! Hah! I knew it." He waggles a finger at her, "You shouldn't try to take advantage of people like that, you bad, bad person! Bad! Very bad!"
"Errrh wew," pants Naerose, free of her plastic prison, only to be assaulted with fresh accusations. She stands aghast. First at the things she is guilty of, then the things she isn't guilty of.
"No wait, I wasn't trying to sell fake ninja puppies, I was giving away fake ninja puppies, except I wasn't giving them away I was using them to lure you so I could have you now and speaking of.."
Naerose reaches down and sweeps Silvester the rabbit into her hand despite his feeble attempts to hope away inside the box she put him in, she then shoves him under her hat, puts her pointy hat on, points at Hokutomaru and raises her broom.
"Right, so I'm having you now, except you weren't supposed to.. mm.. Oh hey, your show is totally untied!"
Yeah, you can probably guess what will happen if Hokutomaru actually looks down.
Hokutomaru blinks a little bit, "So your not a hustler... your an ambusher?" He blinks for a moments, "I guess I can deal with that. At least your not trying to take my money this time." He crosses his arms, "But I still haven't fogiven you about trying to take my money the first time!" He gives her what he considers to be a disapproving glare. "And I'm not so stupid as to fall for something like that. I don't even wear shoes! You're really going to have to think of something better than that if your going to trick me. I'm a ninja! Jeeze!" He shakes his head and makes several 'tsk'ing noises.
"That's right!" winks Naerose while still upholding the dramatic pose of holding her broom up ready to whack Hokutomaru with it, "This time I'm after your plane ticket!"
She kicks the boxes out of the way in what she expects will be cook, but, they are just cardboard boxes, so though they go flying all over the place, a toddler could of done that. Still she flashes a grin full of pride and says,
"I bet you're scared now, but if you apologize for thinking I'm a hustler and not the great Oracle Naerose Delphine, the only witch to perfect the method of fortune telling known as magazine quizes, then I will be forced to turn you into something more fitting your actions!"

Hokutomaru gets dubious looking eyes and points a finger at her forehead. "I haven't even bought my ticket yet. I'm not inside the airport yet." His voice gives the impression that he doesn't think her brain is functioning to a full human capacity. "And stealing is wrong!" He closes his eyes and nods, as if he just gave her a very valuable piece of information. "And besides! I do think you're the great Oracle Naerose Delphine! ...I just think the great Oracle Naerose Delphine /is a dirty, rotten hustler/ and a thief! Hmph!" He crosses his arms.
*Twitch twitch* For a moment Naerose looks like she has a head ache. A hand goes up to place her black shades on her face, completing her real stylish look and then she rubs her temples.
"Hey, I just got a vision, I see you.. beaten senseless and your id and outfit stolen. . And I see another you boarding a plane.. I see you later waking up and thinking it must be karma. . Yes karma for mis treating witches."
She winks and breaks into a broad grin while watching Hokutomaru, looking ready to start swinging that broom at him at anytime, "So ? How was that? Are you ready to surrender yet? Of course not, because I already foresaw you would refuse to give me anything!"

Hokutomaru rolls his eyes a little, "You're going to beat me up and steal my clothes? Look, lady. First of all, you could never beat me up. I'm am ninja. Second, you're too tall, and way too fat to ever be mistaken for me." Yes, that's right. He just called her fat. Is she fat? Probably not? But compared to her this boy is a stick figure. "So you should just give up while you can, because I don't like beating up old ladies, okay, Obaachan?"

Hokutomaru 0/-------/-------|-------\-------\0 Naerose
Oh no he did not just.. She doesn't even know where to get offended, he just stepped up on so many fronts! Fat, old, weak and not cool. Well at least he didn't call her unstylish, but then again he sort of did when he said she wasn't a ninja as if a ninja was more stylish than a witch. This called for drastic action.
"That is it, you are going to pay for that, feel my wrath! Silvester! Get him!"
With a furious cry of 'Silvester' the witch reaches under her hat, pulls out the bunny which by now looks like it wished it was anywhere but here and hurls the hare toward Hokutomaru and while the bunny has no intention of hurting anyone, he just wants to grab onto anything solid after being thrown like that, so it looks ready to latch nails teeth and all.

Hokutomaru /so/ went there. No one was gonna try and beat him up and take his things without getting a serious tongue lashing and insult! And now she's going to throw helpless animals after him? How /dare/ she! That's just terrible and wrong and the poor bunny! He creaches into his pocket and produces a most deadly weapon... AN APPLE CREAM PIE! He pulls it out and it is magically unharmed, dispite huge amounts of whipping cream and no obvious coverings. "No one throws things at me and gets away with it, for I am ninja! Take this!" He pulls it back and then flings it forward, aiming for her face.

The bunny, seeing this chance, decides to grab onto the pie and follow it as it makes it's path back toward Naerose. She meanwhile stares with disbelief, was he truly really doing that..?!
"ERrugh! Hey! what are you doing? Silvester? NO!"
*splat*
It takes a moment for the cream pie to fall off of her face, leaving apple behind and the witch looking very unamused. A hand moves up to wipe off her face with the fur of the struggling rabbit who is then placed under her hat.
"Okay, by the stars and constellations, I beckon thee, lend me your power as I predict the future, the archer, barring great burden of the hunter provider, I strike thee - Sagitta Minor!"
While doing this, Naerose isn't exactly still, she sort of moves around, twisting, turning and out of her hand shoots forth whips of air like darts toward Hokutomaru.
COMBATSYS: Hokutomaru negates Sagita Minor from Naerose with Large Thrown Object.

Hokutomaru 0/-------/-------|=------\-------\0 Naerose
Hokutomaru doesn't look very amused himself. Okay, so when the pie hits her in the face he is amused a little. Who wouldn't be? Well, Naerose, probably. And then she begins doing strange incantation and calling down the heavens upon him! Well, he isn't sure what's going to happen, so he pulls out some kunai from his pocket and waits. And then darts of wind come at him! He blinks a bit, "Is that all?" Fling, tink! Fling, tink! Fling, tink! Fling, Tink! He throws the kunai towards the uncoming blasts of air and disipates them with no small amount of skill, the kunai flinging to the sides afterwards. Hokutomaru just sort of stands their afterwards.
"No! That was just childs play, I was just testing you, this is my true power!" Naerose says, defensively while holding her free hand over her head and making a "Ooooooo!" sound. Maybe something is building there, maybe some sort of attack to shake the very ground they're standing on. . Maybe she is going to strike him with some sort of new power, a new attack, something he.. she.. no one had ever seen before.
Instead she just extends her broom and tries to poke him in the ribs,
"Hah, take this dough boy!"

Hokutomaru doesn't seem too impressed. He doesn't fall for any of the feinting or trickery, and decides to try and beat her to the punch when she tries to jab him, reaching back for his bokken. But, but the time his hand wraps around it the broom handle pokes him cruelly. "Ouch!" He stubles back a few feet and glares at her, "That's not dough, that's bone, and it hurts! You bad, bad woman!"
Seething and stuff she just glares at Hokutomaru while a piece of apple she missed drops off the brim of her hat onto her nose. Having not eaten for a few days the witch decides that this apple is as good as any apple and that clearly he meant for her to try his cooking.
"Hey, this isn't bad, but momma always said don't trust a skinny cook and clearly you're short and chubby. All you need is more meat on your bones, you should give up ninja craft, cook craft is far better, I would say it is second only to witch craft, tee-hee"
Naerose winks and doesn't attack just off.

Hokutomaru sticks his tongue out at her, "Biiiii!" So, that's not the most adult response, but who said responses to being chided has to be responded to like an adult, huh? He shakes his head a bit, "I guess it takes a fat lady to be able to tell who needs to learn how to cook more, huh? Bet you've tried tasting lots and lots of pies! I bet you're probably the best pie judge in this whole city!" He sweatdrops. He needs to talk to Master Andy about learning some taunting skills.

*Twitch-TWITCH* For the duration of these insults, Naerose more or less just stands there and takes it, but then when the height of them are delivered she's stunned into silence. Woah, this boy had a serious mouth on him. She needed to teach him some manners, so she derives this great come back which was sure to spur an agreement on his part where he would nod agreeably and say, 'I hadn't considered it that way, you are right, I am a immature little twerp, please take my plane ticket'. Apparently she didn't listen when he said he hadn't bought it yet. And so now, without further delay, the great reply. . .
"Oh yeah? Well.. you're just stupid!"
And with that Naerose tries to run up and stomp on Hokutomaru's toes with a "Biiiii!" Sticking out her tongue and tugging on the bottom of her left eye. Not that you get the full effect anyway with her shades on.
COMBATSYS: Hokutomaru endures Naerose's Light Kick.

Hokutomaru simply stands there and lets his foot get stomped on. Okay, that doesn't feel very good. As she comes towards him and prepares to step on his toes his arm is pulled all the way back. And after the crunch? He swings it forward hard in a straight motion, the tops of his fingers curled over in a slightly modified palmstrike, trying to slam it straight into her gut. The small ninja just got serious. "If you want to take my stuff, you're going to have to actually fight me! Take this! HYA!"

"Hah.. -ghu.. I mean HAH" Naerose exclaims, sputters then exclaims renewed as she crosses her brrom up in front of her body.
"Did you think I wouldn't ever try to cover myself? Hah! haha haha hah hah hah."
Well, she plays up the confidence thing, but all the while doesn't actually take it for many leaps and bounds.
Instead she just rears back her broom with the looks of someone ready to deliver something big and says,
"Four!" before making a large sweeping swing with her broom toward Hokutomaru.
"Hah, I always wanted to play golf."

Hokutomaru ducks down to try and get away fom the broom swipe... and gets hit in the head! Oh, that can't feel good! The smack sends him rolling to the side, and he grits his teeth. He's starting to get mad, now. "Oh! That's it! I'm done playing games with you, lady! That really hurt!" He glares at her, "Now you'd better sit back and think about whether or not you want to be hurt real bad because you're just about driving me to it!" To emphasize he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a nasty looking double bladed, curved edged knife. He then flings it towards her, the weapon spinning end over end and looking to imbed itself in her.

Well.. he certainly seemed to have a point there.. the point is made more clear when the knife streaks and seems to go right at her, she gets hit and sits back as it opens a cut on her. A shocked look on her face shows that she did NOT expect that, it hurt, it made her bleed. Wow, kids these days.
"Hey hey! Woah kid! You're totally out of your mind!"
For a moment she just sits back and doesn't attack, wiping her forehead with one hand and pouting as she nurses the injury with her other hand.
"Really. Ow!"
COMBATSYS: Naerose takes a breather.

Hokutomaru glares at her. "No, you're out of your mind if you think you can push a Shiranui Ninja around like you own the world! You need to be taught a lesson that stealing from people is bad, and I'm going to be the person to teach you!" He glares at her with a rather angry looking glare and then rolls forward, placing his hands down on the ground and scrunching up his body as tightly as he can. The roll continues forward and he he shoves his hands down hard, springing forward and twisting as he flies through the air, both feet extended and looking to pay Naerose a visit, "Kuuuuuu-ha Dan!"

Hokutomaru 1/-------/=======|=======\====---\1 Naerose
Well needless to say, she gets hit, this going along with her attempts to dodge, but well she's sitting back at the time, so that doesn't happen. But the visit isn't paid with a hello, would you like to come in and have some tea? I have some cakes here for you, oh do please sit down, no, more like an
"Ahh! Eeehh-ya!" As Naerose tries to get out of the way, flinging herself this way and that and just covering her hands over her head while stumbling to get away and getting nailed and nailed some more. Magically it seems her hat stays on her head and her broom lands someplace near her.
"Ough.. That hurt.. Okay.. You want to see some flying? You got it buster! Time for my Naerose specialty!"
With that lofty claim Naerose drops her broom level to the ground and it seems to hover at no small expense of chi in place for her. She mounts it and it lifts just enough for her feet to stay off the ground.
"Here I come!"
Leaning forward, Naerose lowers her head to the broom and it shoots off like a rock toward Hokutomaru with her on it. She doesn't seem to be aiming for him though, instead just past him as a hand shoots out to grab him as she goes by.
Now kids, time for choose your own adventure:
She either A) Misses entirely and probably crashes into something a little ways off.
-OR-
B) He manages to block and gets knocked back while she goes careening off in some direction to crash into something.
-Or-
C) He plays baseball with her head as she goes past, sending her careening off into something.
-OR-
D) She grabs him on her way past, drags him along the ground and then exclaims,
"Here we go, going uppp!" And then pulls up on the front of her broom handle with her free hand, indeed the two rocket upward, her holding onto Hokutomaru until about the height of a second story window when she seems to lose steam.
"Crap, you're too heavy." In which she drops him to fall unceremoniously onto the ground. Unfortunately losing weight doesn't seem to be enough and she herself drops soon too with an "Ieeee!!!" But Luckily Hokutomaru would be there to break her fall.

Hokutomaru pulls out a scroll, just waiting /waiting/ for her to come towards him. He puts it in his mouth and waits for her to run into him! And she hits him too hard for him to focus his chi! This is bad, this is /really really really/ bad! He flies up into the air with her, and falls down with her on top of him. Careening down two stories. Normally that alone wouldn't hurt to much, but having someone land on top of you /hurts/! Ouch! He glares at her from underneath her. He does not look too happy, putting that scroll away. "You're going to pay for that..."
Naerose meanwhile sort of blinks a few times, looks around and blinks some more.
"Umm, Hokutomaru..? Where did he go?" She scratches her head under her hat, gets bitten by Silvester and then looks down and "EEEK!" stands up quickly and steps away from the ninja.
"Ahh.. Ermm.. Sorry about that.. I ahh.. guess I havn't quite got the hang of that yet." She offers her hand to help him up,
"Look, I'm not a thief really, it's just that see I was broke so I UPS mailed myself to Metro for the SNF so I could try to get a job being the announcer.. They turned me down so I beat up an announcer and I tried to take his post. The reason I didn't want to fly with Howard enterprises is I'm afraid they'll hurt me or something. I'm really not a bad person and really really not a very bad person and defiantly not a bad person, very bad, bad person. Please forgive me."
Naerose bows deeply and holds her broom in front of herself, like she were using it to sweep the groun, not hit people with and certainly not try a stunt like that with.

Hokutomaru gets up out from under her and crosses his arms, "Then why do you want to steal my plane ticket when I'm going to fly on the very same airplane that you refuse to fly on, huh?" He shakes his head, "I don't get you at all." He lets out a deep sigh. "It's really not that bad, seriously. I'm not sure if they own it or if they just have an agreement, but it's cheeper to fly for fighters, and we get our own special planes." He droops over and lets out a sigh, "But if you really are just trying to get home I accept your appology. I do want to help you get back to Japan... but two thousand dollars is way too much for that, really!"

Yeah, she's got some issues, she just doesn't seem to see things the way most people do. Where as she basically is saying, if you do me a favor, I'll let you do me another! ^^ Yep, it's no wonder she's smiling, this is a great deal for her.

Hokutomaru taps his foot on the ground a few times. "Okay, I can disguise you pretty good. After all, if you wear something other than what you are now it'll be really hard for anyone to be able to recoginze you, right?" He nods a little, "Ok, we need to go to a clothing store and get you something inconsipcuous... I think a suit would make you look really hard to recognize. Witches generally don't wear suits, right?" He says, "And I think there's a really cheap suit store in the gift shop, so lets go!" He never before understood why the airport sold suits in the gift shop. Now he does.
-----------------------------------END SCENE------------------------------------
*Fishmonster attacks!*
Description: A local Fish monster appears and attempts to steal shoes. Who could this fiendish thing be? Hinako doesn't care but she must save that poor trapped bunny from it's jaws.
A indoor pool, in this season the only place you can really enjoy swimming.
It's nice to be able to swim even when the weather starts getting colder, so the indoor pool is something that Hinako occasionally likes to take advantage of. As she climbs out of the water she sweeps her hair back, drying herself of a bit with her towel as she makes her way toward the lockerroom in her modest one-piece bathing suit.
Upon entering, however, she finds herself facing a giant fish monsters. Or... a person in a giant fish monster costume, anyway. Which is odd enough that Hinako pauses to stare for a few moments, blinking in confusion. Even more confusing is the fact the fish monster is attacking the lockers with a hammer. It... probably shouldn't be doing that. "Umm... Excuse me... What are you doing?"
The fish monster is stopped mid swing of it's silver (ish) hammer toward a locker and pivots slowly toward Hinako. Clearly it wasn't expecting to be disturbed, which is fairly dumb considering people come and go in locker rooms all the time. A moment passes that the fish monster does nothing but stand there, then it finally decides a response,
"Flerrrgle, -flump-."
The latter sound naturally being that of it sticking the hammer into it's mouth. Then with a dramatic monster of the week pose, it points at the girl in what it seems to think to be a menacing stance.
"Flerrgle flergle flerge!"
Hinako blinks a few more times, tilting her head as she looks quizzically at the monster. "Um... I'm sorry, what?" She doesn't speak fish monster, it seems. And then the hammer gets eaten- er... put inside the costume. Got to remember that this is just a person who's dressed up. Even if they're acting really strangely.
Apparently the menacing posture flies right over Hinako's head, as she looks around at the damaged lockers for a moment. "You know, you really shouldn't be doing this. It's going to cost money for those to be repaired. And it's wrong to take things from people! I'm sure if you put everything back, though, people won't be too mad at you. How does that sound?"
As a quick side note, it's hard to tell what the actual person inside the costume (if it is a costume at all and not really a monster) is hearing when people talk, it does seem terribly constricting. It is however at that moment when out of the gullet of the giant fish monster a rabit is spit fourth, with crying eyes of freedom and a hopeful expression, it makes it about two hops before the fish monster steps on it, gurggles a bit and picks it up, plucking the rabbit back into it's mouth.
" Gurrlgiel fliberble." Comes a ice reply toward Hinako.
And once again Hinako appears rather confused as a rabbit comes bounding out of the monster's mouth. That doesn't last too long, though. "Oh, how cute-" And then the monster steps on it. Sure, it didn't actually squash it, but still. "Oh!" A horrified expression crosses Hinako's face. "That... that poor bunny! You're horrible!"
The blonde girl frowns and points at the fish monster. "That's just mean! I'm not going to let you get away with hurting that rabbit any more!" She hunches forward, arms held ready as she adopts her sumo posture. "Yaaah!" And then she charges at the fish, attempting to slam it down to the floor on its back. "Hah!"

Bllllrgue. The fish monster is strangely rubbery and slippery. The fish makes a terrible stench as days of unwashed seawea fishy stink smell comes out of it's gaping maw as it expells it's oppinion about being sumo'd. This is not a way to treat sushi. . . So here she is, this crazy sumo girl who isn't even big. What can a fish do about that..? Well.. Squash her. So the fish monster merely titters and then topples toward Hinako.

Attempting to squash Hinako isn't a particularly good tactic, however. She can support a great deal more weight than the fish monster can bring to bear. ...It is pretty nasty, though, when the smelly thing topples over on top of her. She maintains her footing, however. At least she's still wearing her bathing suit.
On the plus side, having the fish right on top of her puts it easily within her grasp. Holding her breath, Hinako tries to grapple with the monster again, squeezing it as she actually attempts to shove her hand into its gaping maw, fishing around for the rabbit. "Don't worry, bunny! I'll save you!"

The Fish monster drops to it's knees as a hand gropes around inside. Perhaps the fish monster has eaten a person too, but there is definatly a nose, a face, a hat and a pair of awesome stylin shades inside that fish. All of which are being gropped and don't appreciate it. The girl reaching down that maw can probably feel the movement inside as though it were preparing for an attack or something. It's not a moment later though that the insides churn and the fist starts to spit up on Hinako.
"Grrug-!"

Hinako quickly starts pulling her hand out as she feels the nasty liquid inside the costume starting to churn up, but she's not quick enough to avoid getting sprayed with foul smelling water, along with probably some seaweed and even more distressing stuff. "Ewww!!!" She flails at herself for a moment, trying to scrap the worst of it off.
Well, she's definitely going to have to take a shower after this. She huffs at the fish monster for a moment, then settles back down into her sumo stance. "Okay, well take this!" And then she charges at the fish, attempting to tackle it down to the by now rather wet and slippery floor.

Well getting tossed around isn't the worst thing that can happen to a fish. It bounces a lot though, kind of frighteningly much in fact and then if that wasn't enough it bounces back toward Hinato, and tries to make use of this, spreading it's arms like a baby who is like been dropped from an air plane and you like look up and there comes baby with arms spread, like it totally expects you to catch it, except this baby has a really dirty diaper, so you're like, 'no way!'
The fish' mouth hangs opened, that maw of disgusting and if Hinako isn't careful, it'll totally get her in that mouth, granted the goo is the worst part!

Duck has arrived.
Hinako brings both of her hands up as the fish monster comes sailing in, intending to start slamming it with open-palmed strikes to send it flopping back away from her. She's just got to time it properly and- Hey, why'd everything go dark all of a sudden? And start smelling so bad? And- Oh, god.
Hinako shrieks for a moment, flailing in a panic at the fish monster as she tries to dislodge her head from its mouth. It's cramped and it smells and it's all wet and nasty. Finally she manages to struggle her way free, coughing as she gasps for air and rubbing at her eyes as she tries to wipe away the foul smelling water. "Th- *cough* That's not fair!"
But Hinako totally doesn't manage to just dislodge herself, she also dislodges unspeakable nastiness. . . Once opun a time, a long time ago (about a week) a very foolish young woman (named Naerose) attempted to operate a Vespa in the ocean. . That ws the start of this tale of terror.. And since the fish monster hasn't taken a bath. That is because it hasn't yet found a way to get out of the suit! Therefore you can only guess what happens when you add water and shoes to the mix. If . .
Where was I ? Oh yes, stream of nastiness.
"Ssspppeeeeeerrrrrgge!"

Hinako manages to block the stream of filth... Sort of. There's not really much one can do about that kind of attack, but she does at least manage to turn herself so that she doesn't get any of it in her face. Note to self: After this fight, and a very long shower, throw out this bathing suit. Hinako is now dripping wet, and smells horrible... but she thinks to herself how much worse it must be for that poor rabbit. "Let that bunny go!"
Hinako stomps her foot in frustration, and one of the damaged locker doors actually falls off, hitting the floor with a clang. That serves as a good enough signal for her to dash forward, attempting to crash into the fish monster, and then keep going, attempt to push it all the way across the room and slam it into a wall. Hinako's strong enough to do this to full fledged sumo wrestlers, so hopefully a fish shouldn't prove that much of a problem...

Strong enough doesn't even begin to describe the strong enough that takes this fish and deposits it so hard against a wall that for a moment it actually stays there. Imagine taking a patti of meat, throwing it against a wall. You get that sort of splat and then stick. . No movement. For just a little bit it just sits there, then it sloooowly starts to slide across the ground toward Hinato. Right about the time it nears her. . . . I'm not sure what it does! But mark my words, it is unspeakable.

Luckily for Hinako, she manages to backpedal away as the fish monster slides across the floor toward her, even though her feet are slipping on the wet, nasty floor. Whatever it was planning, it probably would have been creepy, nasty, and... well... it probably couldn't smell any worse than what she's already had to experience.
She frowns, pointing at the fish and shaking her finger. "You let that bunny go right now, do you hear me!?" Fuming, Hinako glares for a moment, then suddenly leaps into the air toward the fish monster, attempting to wrap her arms around its head... Well, the head is kind of oddly shaped, so she sort of hooks one arm into its mouth. Then she quickly spins around, attempting to yank the fish monster off its feet, and send it flying headfirst (and at high speed) towards the opposite wall. Which is lined with lockers, so she might end up breaking even more locker doors that the fish hadn't gotten around to yet.
..Ooops.

FOOOOMMP, the fish is so slamed into the lockers that for all extensive purposes, it EXPLODES! You see kiddies, fish monsters, or rather any monsters of the week can not leave bodies because that would make the shows that children love to watch, or watch to love, too graphic, too real. Therefore they explode. This fish monster is no exception, though the rubbery suit is actually made of tough stuff, so it more or less expells it's contents raining everywhere, shoes, seaweed and a red clad witch. All of which are just.. pelting the locker room and anyone in it. It's so tramatic that the janitor just shot himself in the back office. No one is paid enough to clean this much crap up.

..Ew.
Ew ew ew ew ew!
Hinako is splattered from head to foot with foul smelling water and whatever nasty stuff was floating around in it, or ended up in it after having all those shoes stored in there. Her hair is a mess, and she's going to need to spend even /more/ time in the shower now.
The girl just stands there for a moment in shock, trying to suppress the hideous sound and stench of the exploding fish monster. Eventually, though, she snaps herself out of it, and begins looking around. "Bunny? Here bunny! Are you okay?" As she searchs around the mess, Hinako eventually comes close to the red clad witch, looking down at her. Hinako's not /stupid/, so as she looks down at Naerose she crosses her arms and does her best to look angry at her.
COMBATSYS: Hinako takes no action.

COMBATSYS: Hinako has ended the fight here.
Just then, Naerose who lays otherwise still, afterall, you think being on the outside recieving end is bad, imagine being INSIDE. Needless to say, it's so messy that you just can't make sense of what would be going through her head. Out from under her hat though hops Sylvester the bunny, her rabbit familiar. It looks around, sniffs and then decides that was a bad idea and instantly stops. Still anywhere is safer than with Naerose, being her emergency food supply was scary considering how desparately poor she often was. For a moment you have the bunny giving Hinako huge sweet bunny eyes.
Hinako's eyes shine as she sees Sylvester hoping out of the hat, and she kneels down to gently extend one of her hands toward the rabbit. "Oh... You poor thing! Was that woman being mean to you?" Slowly, carefully, Hinako begins moving her arms out in an attempt to pick up the rabbit and lift it off of Naerose. "Well, don't worry! I'm here to rescue you!"
..Of course, attempting to keep a pet at the Seijyun dorms might be a bit of a problem. But she can't just leave this cute, cuddly little bunny alone with the evil fish woman, can she?
Sylvester the second, happily crawls into loving arms, with large coal black, watery, loving eyes. . . Meanwhile, Naerose groans and picks her head up just a little. She sees a mirror, ensures her shades are stylish. . She fixes them a little more. Awesome. She then looks over at Hinako. .
"Noo.." she murmurs, "The rabbit.. it is evil, the cause of everything.. Do not.. take him, he will.. curse you.. He is the fiiii.." her head goes down onto the ground again. Dead? Unconsious..? Niether, if you listen closely you can totally hear snorring.
Hinako gently pets the rabbit as she holds it against her chest. She looks warily down at Naerose as the witch begins to stir, but it doesn't seem that she's actually going to get up. "Evil? This cute little fella?" She hugs Sylvester a little closer for a bit, then looks down at Naerose. "This is what you get for being so mean! I hope you learned a lesson today!"
Hinako was hoping to take a shower before she left, because she's really quite filthy now... But she doesn't want to hang around in case Naerose does wake up. So she goes to her own, thankfully still closed, locker and fishes out her cellphone, calling home for a chauffeur to come pick her up. ...And to bring lots of towels to lay out on the seat. She does go home occasionally, despite the fact that she primarily lives at a boarding school. Now... She just has to figure out how to hide the rabbit when she does go back to school. Leaving Naerose on the cold, wet floor, Hinako gingerly gathers up her things, then starts heading out to wait for her ride.
-------------------------------END SCENE-------------------------------------------
*Naerose! The lost Files*
Description: What do you get when you take a half baked scene, someone without enough time to finish it and no real premise to begin with? Read on to find out.
*** A White background, shadows, bright lights and the distinct impression that everything here is in black and white. This is .. the Naerose Zone***
To begin we have a snippet of what might of been, what might be, what once was,
but never is. I am of course talking about a scene that was never finished, but
still mildly amusing and for that reason, we will view. This is.. Naerose! the lost files.
The busier side of the Chinatown district of Southtown comes with all the trappings. Tourists, residences, shops and last, but not least, food stands. The last is where to find the spikey-haired First Lieutenant named Guile as he is purchasing what looks to be some form of noodle dish. Not raman noodles though. Too fratboyish.
Woah! Old stomping grounds which brings back terrible lovely memories. This was where much of the carefree days of stealing shoes happened. Sadly much of that is gone due to the loss of a key player, namely a LiX who left the country without notice, or something. Actually The witch had no idea what was up with that stuff, all she knew is this was her old stomping grounds and it brought back some serious memories. You know, she's blending into the ground, the sort of way that a witch does dressed in red with the hat, shades, broom, unconscious bunny rabbit (complete with stars floating over his head) is. Especially when she is standing on top of a mailbox and scanning the crowd, whom stops to stare at her. Yep, she has something on her mind, some mysterious goal! Something.. sinister, something Freeloading. She is. . . ,
"Umm.. what was I doing again?" The witch asks herself.
Guile turns away from the food stand after paying the attendant in cold hard yen. He takes a few steps away, looking left and right from beneath his dark aviator sunglasses. He retrieves the chopsticks sticking out of the side of the bowl of noodles, attempting to pick up some of the noodles with them. After a few tries, he tosses them aside, turning back to the vendor. After some hard core haggling, he turns back around from the vendor with his shiny new plastic fork. Right towards the witch. The image brings a furrow to the broad eyebrow ridge of the Lieutenant, upon which he takes a few steps closer to get a better look while trying to remain mostly inconspicuous.
One has to wonder if Naerose were in the position of Guile how she would of artfully handled the chop sticks. I mean, she had only just earlier that very day been to the same vendor whom likely had a moment when Guile up and does similarly. He at least TRIED to use the chop sticks. Naerose in contrast had taken them and mistaken them for some sort of weird complimentary hair stick deal and promptly tried to stick them in her hair. Except she wears a hat, which contains a bunny who at the first chance at freedom ran for it. Then Naerose decided the chopsticks were some kind of weapon and attempted the skewer the bunny on them. This was of course failing to realize that bunnies are faster than witches and in the end she ended up hitting the bunny rather hair with a stop sign, (The one she knocked over when crashing into it with her scooter on initial arrival). The chopsticks were then used to scrape the bunny off the road.
You can totally still hear people talking about this, because it happened literally moments ago. Then slurping her noodles (fingers make excellent forks) Naerose finds herself on the mailbox, holding unconscious bunny and wondering what she is doing. As it turns out, much to her disapointment, she isn't seeking the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but rather surveying the damage to her scooter from the crash and realizing she'd already spent the money she made on her last news interview on one box of noodles.
"Aww darn, now I remember.." Naerose begins and then with watery starry eyes intones:
". . . I'm broke Biatch!"
Guile raises an eyebrow slightly before he simply chuckles. He takes a string of noodles, curling them on the end of the fork Itallian-style, before taking his bite. He looks back to the witch and asks, "Before or after the little rampage you went on?" Another bite of the noodles are eaten, before he settles the fork in the noodles and returning his attention back to the witch.
Somehow , despite the location, the throng of people, the mess she just made, Naerose manages to be shocked when she is addressed, especially by a fellow American! Woah, seriously, she might of been accustomed to Japanese so much that when someone speaks to her in such a familiar manner, she blushes and says something to the tune of,
"Ah hah ha hah hah, no comprende ermm. Japanese-o." Then her brain catches up with reality.
"Oh that!" More nervous laughter,
"That was totally on purpose, lemme see, I was doing this course called Hawk on Phonics, and I was umm, learning things, it went like the Stalefish, umm.. stalefish.. Oh wait yeah, I totally did a McHawk nine hundred face plant into a stop sign. Yep, on purpose." She laughs a bit more nervously, her cheeks as red as her outfit.
