I boggle at Roland.

"Did you just eat him?" I glare at the robot accusingly. "Without even selecting an appropriate wine?"

What goes with deranged, French-wannabe terrorists, anyway?

Maybe a 2001 Beringer Private Reserve? I dunno.

The Witches step/float away from the bomb.

Tenebarum: Child of Mother Earth, I hate to ask this, but... would you mind stepping in front of us?

Roland replies: "Negative, I have merely detained him." The slats on the door to Roland's belly close, to protect the criminal from any damage that may come in the near future.

The earth loyally shambles in front of you, spreading itself as to block any incoming forces.

Roland cuts the first of six yellow wires.

A 2001 Beringer Private Reserve? The hell?

It's a California Cabernet. Beringer's top bottling, a blend of fruit from six different Napa vineyards, has been a benchmark for California Cabernet since "winemaster" Ed Sbragia made its inaugural vintage, back in 1977.

...wait, what? Since when do you know shit about wine?

...

Wait, does this have anything to do with those mysterious credit card charges?

Hey, look, Roland's cutting the wire!

Answer me, you bastard. Is this why I've been waking up from weird dreams with throbbing headaches?

See? He's cut them all, and nothing bad happened at all. Now ans--

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?

Hanako Tachibana · « **Reply #91 on:** December 02, 2012, 01:31:37 AM »

Tenebarum: Well then~ I guess that handles that~
Suspiriorum: Thanks, Roland. We appreciated the help.
Lachrymarum: Are... are you sure it's safe?

FelyxZephyr · « **Reply #92 on:** December 08, 2012, 08:30:18 PM »

Roland intones in his monochromatic voice: "The Bomb has been completely disabled. Thank you for your engineering expertise Human Suspiriourm."

The slats in Roland's body open up and a still-bleeding bomb voyage is revealed. Roland begins clunking his way down the stairs hurriedly to, presumably, turn the french man in.

The three witches are left to their own devices in the building with their Earth elemental.

Meanwhile, perhaps A certain rational entity within the Funnyman can use this sudden 'SNAPO'(Situation Normal, all's pretty okay) Moment to gain an edge on his more skittish side. Either way, the early evening sun casts a brilliant orange glow on the room. Whoever sits in this office and the one below will look forward to acquiring many new paperweights, or else have their work reduced to a tornado of papers.

[You may act out of initiative and pursue any paths you wish.]

Hanako Tachibana · « **Reply #93 on:** December 08, 2012, 08:55:25 PM »

Tenebarum: Well, that was fun~ Thank you for your help, Mr. Funny Man~
Suspiriorum: Yeah, thanks. We appreciate it.
Lachrymarum: *nods*
Tenebarum: Ah, thank you too, Child of Mother Earth!
Lachrymarum: *nods*
Suspiriorum: We should catch up with Swiss Man, right?
Tenebarum: Oh! Yeah! Swiss Man~ Lets see Swiss Man~

The three witches start to head down the stairs to Swiss Man.

Quote from: Internal Dialogue

Well?

...usually, more happens.

So, about that wine.

Oh, hey, look! The girls are going to check in with Swiss Army Man. We should see if he needs any help.

With what, exactly?

Doesn't matter, had sex!

...what?

Gleefully cackling to myself, I skip downstairs after the witches.

FelyxZephyr · « **Reply #95 on:** December 10, 2012, 12:40:00 AM »

the girls and the funnyman all proceed quickly enough down the stairs, the youthful voices mixed with the laughter of the funnyman belie the danger that the bank had been in just moments before (if one can really say there is any danger to be faced at the hands of Bomb Voyage.

The small group manages to catch Swiss Army Man resting on a bench, cookie sheets, aluminum foil, golf clubs, and other pieces of metal-ware hanging down from his shoulders along with his cape.

"Ah! You caught me taking a break!" He quickly stands, embarrassed. "I just finished evacuating the area of civilians. We had a few people who received lacerations from the initial explosion, but nothing major, thank goodness."

"Was I right in suspecting bomb voyage? I'm afraid that the explosion rather knocked out my hearing."

Hanako Tachibana · « **Reply #96 on:** December 10, 2012, 01:06:34 AM »

Tenebarum: Swiss Man~
Suspiriorum: Yeah, it was Bomb Voyage. We took care of him, but Roland's got him now.
Lachrymarum: Funny Man helped too...

FelyxZephyr · « **Reply #97 on:** December 10, 2012, 01:16:57 AM »

"Oh, is that why Roland ran off? He looked to be in a huge rush, like a little white rabbit running late." Swiss Army Man rises, stretching his, admittedly small, muscles. "Well, let's hope the boys can keep Bomb Voyage off the streets for a while." Swiss Army Man raises his left arm and all manner of sundials and digital displays and clocks are revealed when he pulls back his sleeve. "Oh, it isn't so late yet. I was afraid that the missus might be worried."

Swiss Army Man slides his sleeve back to his wrist.

"What did you think of Roland, did you get to see him in action?"

Hanako Tachibana · « **Reply #98 on:** December 10, 2012, 01:21:04 AM »

Lachrymarum: Ah...
Suspiriorum: Well...
Tenebarum: We beat Bomb Man up before Roland even arrived~ And Funny Man kept missing so-
Lachrymarum: Tenebarum! Don't say things like that!
Tenebarum: Sorry~ Oh, but Roland was quite brave! He defused the bomb for us~
Suspiriorum: Though we were the ones who told him where to cut...
Lachrymarum: Suspiriorum!
Tenebarum: Oh, yeah~ There is still a big bomb left~ It doesn't work, but it is there~

DonQuixote · « **Reply #99 on:** December 10, 2012, 09:47:38 PM »

I ruffle Lachrymarum's hair as I step forward. "Oh, yeah. I suppose we did just leave a defused bomb just...lying around there. You want it? If you don't, I'll take it. It'd look pretty keen above the mantle."

Quote from: Internal Dialogue

"Keen"?

Don't you judge me.

I mean, really, "keen"?

JUDGING.

I don't see where you get off complaining, what with--hey, you still haven't answered me about the wine!

Wine? What wine? I see no wine.

Bastarding bastard of a weasel!

I nod. "Yes. Keen."
