THE END!!!

[islaaaand.livejournal.com]

[ It is back to camp now.

Was it ever mentioned that there was a small cliff overlooking the camp? Maybe you just didn't notice it over the LOUDNESS of a certain camp counselor.

And why bring this up? Said camp counselor is now standing atop that cliff, arms crossed over his manly chest (adorned with CAMP COUNSELOR T-shirt) and looking down over the entire group, assembled at the foot of said cliff. ]

ALL RIGHT, ISLAND CAMPERS!!!

I've watched all of you grow in STRENGTH during this weekend! There has been PAIN, there has been SUFFERING, but you've all managed to pull through!

You are all SURVIVORS!!! I would be proud to have any one of you within the Spartan army!

[ Do you all have MANLY TEARS in your eyes? Leonidas doesn't. He's too manly for manly tears. But if he weren't, he would have them. ]

Our time was short! But it was spent well! All I hope is that-

[ Unfortunately, Leonidas is being cut short. From out of nowhere, a charging rhinoceros takes the Spartan in the side, gouging its horn into him and pushing him to the edge. ]

RRRAAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHH!!!!!!

[ Leonidas digs his heels into the earth, letting out a primal roar of fury... but it's not enough. It's too late.

The charging rhino takes itself and the camp counselor off the edge of the cliff, mercifully away from the camp... no one will have to see this man's death.

And when people go to investigate? All that is left of him is a bloody CAMP COUNSELOR T-shirt... ]





[ Say a prayer for the fallen hero.

And while doing that, feel free to notice that all powers have returned in full force.

There's no magic ticket off of this island now and back to their usual home, but hopefully people will find a way. There are powers, there are still those rafts... be creative.

Because this fun is over. ]

I wonder if he was just pulled out from somewhere and went with it or if he's an actor?

[stalking_horse]

It's also possible that he was mentally tampered with somehow, depending on how much his bouts of confusion over what he was accomplishing were acting and how much was genuine.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

There has been times in the past where they've altered people's memories.

[pedokinesis]

... do you two always go on like this, or is this special ~*~murder talk~*~?

[stalking_horse]

.....

We're detectives. [It's a very deadpan "What do you expect?" statement.] Of course this is business.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

...and it's just standard to look at things carefully.

[By the way, Hyobu may like to know the boys are in....very (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3425/3224843008_dba2a22a12_o.jpg) special outfits (http://www.bodyline.co.jp/bodyline/photos/g829-2.jpg). Courtesy of their cabin mates. First being Hakuba and second is Conan.]

[pedokinesis]

*HA HA HA O WOW-- will save commenting on that for later*

I thought people usually 'hired' detectives.

[stalking_horse]

It's a moot point whether we were hired or not when we were brought here - we were involved, and what kind of detective doesn't pay attention to what's happening right in front of them?

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

If they didn't, they'd be bad detectives even when they're hired.

[pedokinesis]

Regardless of how nosy you two are, there's really no reason to be considering this a murder. It's just down right absurd.

[stalking_horse]

Of course it's absurd. There's probably nobody dead, so it can't be a murder.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

But it's certainly a mystery.

[pedokinesis]

Oy vey... So what? You're going to team up to solve the mystery of the disappearing Spartan and the rhino hardcore enough to kill him?

[stalking_horse]

Of course! - And you're still assuming he's dead.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

It's all part of the bigger mystery anyway.

[pedokinesis]

Oh, I'm sorry.

The rhino who "killed" him.

Well, have fun with that one. All I can imagine this resulting in is him reappearing and sucker punching you both in the face for questioning his glorious exit.

[stalking_horse]

And that would prove us right.

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

And I'd have warning since Hakuba-niisan is easier to punch. [^_^]

[pedokinesis]

... heh heh heh...

*WELL, GUESS WHAT KIDS. It's time for another episode of Hyobu is a Dick! What is on today's agenda you ask? Well, that's easy!

Step one! Use your powers to turn yourself into the spitting image of a rage filled Spartan!

Step two! Teleport next to Conan, give him a nice quick kick across the face, then teleport over to Hakuba and give him the sucker punch! All within seconds of each other, reaction time be damned!

Step three! Teleport back to your starting point, return to your normal appearance and give them both a charming smile!*

Consider yourselves proven right. ♥

[stalking_horse]

[.........And while regaining composure from that - really, like he needed more bruises today - you ... have achieved a slightly grumpy Saguru.]


[...Who's thoroughly unimpressed.]

........................No, no, all that proves is that you have tricks. And are an ass. :|

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

[He....kind of fell back and takes a few more seconds.]

You damn rat bastard! That just proves how much of a bastard you are! If you're just going to be a pest, just go away already! [Glaring so angrily at you because he really, really, REALLY hates you and that hurt because little kid body is easy to hurt.]

[Yeeeeeah, he's not in the best of moods right now.]

[pedokinesis]

Well, detective-- If you have an explanation for how I did all of those 'tricks' successively, do tell.

*giving Conan some regard now, though it's mostly cackling.* Now why would I do that when I camped out here-- pun intended-- specifically to cause you some grief?

[stalking_horse]

I do have a question before I even attempt that. Would I actually be winning anything, or just obliging your immature sense of self-superiority?

[He'll be stepping over to be looming pretty close to Conan. And is ... almost weirdly ... "calm".]

[17-going-on-8.livejournal.com]

He seems to have a thing about being the center of attention and getting everyone's acknowledgments.

Apparently not being a psychic does make him less of one because he was almost bearable when I talked to him then.

[pedokinesis]

You would be winning a bit of respect, along with a side of me having less of an urge to 'dispose' of you...

As for the midget... Why should I care about two normals acknowledging me? This is merely me getting in your way because I don't like you, boy. And you should get your memory checked, I was still an esper when you were playing monkey. Just on a far lesser level.
