Chapter 7: Emus > Dragons? Who knew?!

*We rejoin our heroes immediately after killing the variously assorted various monsters surrounding them on Floor 13*

Jerrica: IT'S FINALLY OVER!

Travis: Let's get to the stairs before it STOPS being over.

Jipostus: AGREED!

Travis: Oh, good, you're here.

Jipostus: You're happy to see me?

Travis: Of course, I've been wanting to kill you since the Mana Temple.

Jipostus: I CAN EXPLAIN!

Travis: You have three sec-

Jipostus: Ssraxx made me do it!

Travis: I KNEW IT!

Akki: Do you really believe that Ssraxx would want one of his disciples to help some asshole archmage kill another of his disciples?

Travis: Yes.

Akki: Good enough for me. *kills Jipostus*

Travis: :D

Jerrica: :D

Dayn: :D

Akki: :D

Penelope: 'v'

*Back at floor 1*

Jipostus: Dammit.

*floor 14*

Travis: That was fun.

Jerrica: About as fun as having your toenails ripped out with a fork.

Dayn: Please don't die any more. Next time, we might just go on without you.

Travis: Actually, that's a good idea.

Akki: I agree. *jokingly stabs at Travis*

Jerrica: You realize if we do that, we'll never see you again.

Travis: Probably. *dodges random emu, stabs it in the face* But, I did learn something very important these past few days.

Jerrica: What's that?

Travis: Dragons are really hard to kill without magic.

Jerrica: Yeah, they kind- Wait, dragons!?

Travis: Yeah, really big ones. That breathe FIRE.

Akki: Let me get this straight. You can kill dragons, yet you can't avoid getting murdered by big, stupid birds? No offense Penelope.

Penelope: Wark. 'v'

Travis: I'm telling you, there's something not right about the emus here.

Akki: And they're plotting against you.

Travis: I know it sounds a little crazy...

Dayn: A little?

Travis: Okay, it sounds really fucking insane, but I swear they're after me! And their king is-

Jerrica: Oh, they have a king now?

Travis: They do! Ask Penelope!

Penelope: Wark wark wark wark wark, wark wark wark. 'v'

Travis: See!?

Akki, Dayn, Jerrica, various monsters: *giving Travis a concerned look*

Travis: What!?

Akki: If I hear one more insane thing from you concerning emus, plots, emu kings, or emu kings plotting against you, I'm going to kill you. Violently.

Jerrica: I like that idea.

Dayn: Me too.

Travis: Fine then. I won't bring it up again.

Jerrica: No "Don't say I didn't warn you"?

Travis: Nope. You guys obviously think I'm insane and don't believe me, so I'll drop it.

Dayn: Good. With that insanity out of the way-

Travis: *gets trampled by 12 emus*

Emus: *stop trampling and wander around*

Dayn: -we get that insanity.

Akki: I wonder... HEY EMUS! *jumps around in front of the emus*

Dayn: AKKI, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?

Emus: *ignore Akki*

Akki: Look, the emus aren't attacking us.

Dayn: Now that I think about it, we've only been trampled to death once.

Jerrica: Do you think Travis was right?

Dayn: It's a possib-

*PSSSST*

Akki: What was that?

*PSSSST*

Jerrica: I don't know, but there it was again.

*PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST* dn hr!

Dayn: "Down here"? *looks down to see Travis face down on the ground* What are you doing down there?

Travis: ah efckd da ewus.

Dayn: We're aware that you escaped the emus, but that doesn't explain what you're doing down there.

Travis: ff eh sey dw hr dll snk mma hrps

Dayn: They'll think you're a corpse?

Travis: uhhuh

Akki: Yeah, I know.
