The clerk shook her head.

 

Busty Clerk: I'm sorry, but we can't have any exceptions. Especially with a customer trying to purchase that many CDs.

L - listen, I'm a big time music fan... that's why I'm buying so many CDs...

Tommy was still confused.

L - listen, there has to be some kind of mistake...

The clerk looked at the money with a confused expression.

 

Busty Clerk: Sir...we do not accept that here. We only accept Pompadallions and most credit or debit cards.

 

W - what!? B - but I - I don't even live here!

Tommy looked at the clerk, just as confused.

C - can't you just l - let it slide this one time?

Agni Artwaltz, Elizabeth Bathory and Mirfah

 

As they walked, Tommy got distracted once again, going into a CD store.

 

Lize: *sigh* I'm gonna go fetch Tommy-

Agni: I'll talk to him. You three can go ahead to the meeting point. The others are already there.

Lize: But Agni-

Agni: Look, just leave this to me and go. I won't take long.

Mirfah: ...

Lize: ... OK.

 

They kept walking, unsure of how he was. Did the tension disappear or was he still angry at them? Either way, Agni went after Tommy to convince him to move along.

 

Agni: Tommy, we need to go now. We can buy CDs later, OK?

Tommy's bag was filled to the brim with CDs.

But I have to finish paying for them!

Tommy handed the clerk 200$.

Alright, now we can go!

Agni Artwaltz, Elizabeth Bathory and Mirfah

 

Lize: It's just... gonna be one skewer... one single skewer...!!

Mirfah: Gah! Let me go! Let me go!!

Agni: ... Can you all please explain what's going on?

 

When they looked, Agni had arrived. He, like both entangled, seemed furious.

 

Lize: A-Agni...!!

Mirfah: Geh...!!

 

Mirfah used the distraction to break himself free from Tommy's grasp and got up quickly. Agni ignored them and walked towards him.

 

Agni: ... Mirfah.

Mirfah: What?! Are you going to judge me too?! Are you going to say that I'm wrong too?! WELL THEN, BE MY GUEST!! AFTER ALL, I'M JUST A BRAT, RIGHT?! FOR YOUR INFORMATION, YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A-

 

He was interrupted by a fist, going right on his face. Mirfah felt the pain, but the anger was dwindling.

 

Mirfah: Gah...!!

 

BGM: Song of the Ancients -Popola- (NieR: Gestalt)

 

Agni: I have only three things to say to you. First... you're right. You're a brat. Look at you, screaming like an idiot, causing all this turmoil for nothing. I don't think I have to say that your little bickering would have caused us even bigger problems.

Mirfah: B-But...!!

Agni: Second... I'm not here to judge you, say that you're wrong or anything. I fully understand that you got lost. It's normal, this city is a maze. It's the first time we stepped in here and this is so different that distractions are inevitable. And lastly...

 

Agni went towards him once again. Mirfah was ready for another fist, but Agni just put his hand on the shoulder.

 

Agni: ... I'm glad that nothing happened to you while being lost. It may not matter to you, but I was worried.

Mirfah: Agni... I'm... I'm sorry.

 

Agni gave him a nod and began to walk back towards the direction he came. He gave them a look, still serious.

 

Agni: Lize, Nemesis and Tommy. I'm not the leader in this party and this might seem bossy from me, but I want an explanation of what happened here once we arrive at the destination.

Lize: A-Agni, look... it's just that...

Agni: If our teamwork is so faulty like this, there has to be something I can do for making it better, even if slightly. This error was for me to learn that I must be more attentive to you all, instead of going on as if everything's fine. If I overlooked this, I'm sorry.

Lize: I-It's not your fault, it's-

Agni: Let's get going. I don't want to keep them waiting too much for me to return.

 

Agni continued to walk back. Elizabeth and Mirfah, who were both enraged a second ago, fell silent and followed him. They knew how wrong they were and the trouble they caused... after all, Agni seemed really mad. At them and at himself.

 

Tommy was doing the same, following Agni... until he got distracted by a nearby store that had tickled his fancy.

...give me a second, please.

Tommy pulled out a bag from his pocket and walked into the store, fully intent to buy as many albums as he could.

3 minutes ago, A person said:

Nemesis: SHIT!

 

She quickly wrapped her arms around Lizzy and pulled her back, digging in her coat for some sort of rope or twine.

 

Nemesis: Tommy, pin him down! If we slip up and let them go, I think there's going to be more than one person lying in a pool of their own blood!

Got it!

Tommy proceeded to slam Mirfah from behind back-first, before lying on his back.

Stay down before I smash you on the back with my guitar.

3 minutes ago, Agni Blackheart said:

Elizabeth Bathory and Mirfah

 

But before Nemesis could fully leave, Elizabeth held her arm strongly.

 

Lize: N-Nemesis... can I ask you a favor...? Hold me... and don't let me go... because...

Lize: *takes out lance in range* I WILL SKEWER THIS DAMNED PIECE OF SHIT!!

Mirfah: *grips on dual blades* I'M ON IT!! TO HELL WITH THOSE GUARDS, NOTHING WILL PLEASE ME MORE THAN CUTTING YOU DOWN!!

Tommy used the opportunity when Mirfah was distracted to sneak up on him from behind, before attempting to hold onto him from behind in an attempt to calm him down.

Calm down before I have to smash you on the head with my guitar.

5 minutes ago, Agni Blackheart said:

Elizabeth Bathory and Mirfah

 

Mirfah: ...

Lize: Heh. You should be ashamed of yourself. Such ridiculous attitude... why, I do really think that you are-

Mirfah: I've been listening to you ramble about my errors on and on... about how I'm a dumbass and how I was dead wrong about getting lost...!

 

BGM: Forma tumultuosa somnii (Puella Magi Madoka Magica Portable)

 

Mirfah: WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TO JUDGE ME LIKE THAT?!

Lize: ...!!

Mirfah: Yeah, I got lost! SO WHAT?! I never stepped here before, all those damn buildings are big as hell and this whole town looks like a damned maze!! You're right, I got distracted with the scenery and separated myself from the group...! BUT THAT WAS AN ACCIDENT!! IT HAPPENS!!

Lize: Decided to play the dramatic brat right now? Wow, I'm glad I'm not your mother. I would be so embarrassed right now.

Mirfah: SHUT UP, YOU ANNOYING PINK PIECE OF SHIT!!

Lize: What the-

Mirfah: All you do is judge others, but have you looked yourself at the mirror?! You're a goddamn freak!! And you dare to call yourself a "Heroic" Spirit?! A noble?! The only thing that's noble about you are those diamonds on your legs, BECAUSE YOU'RE A MISERABLE FAILURE AS A PERSON!!

Lize: How dare you...

 

If Elizabeth and Nemesis were both angry at him, all that judgment has pissed off Mirfah. He was no longer at the point of control, as he would just ramble and speak. Even Tommy, who was trying to defend him, wasn't spared...

 

Mirfah: Friends?! FRIENDS?! What are you, stupid?! All of them... they think you're a NUISANCE!! Or is that colorful world of yours something completely beautiful for you to ignore that?!

Lize: M-Mirfah, quiet down!! I know he's a little different, but-

Mirfah: I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU!! PIPE DOWN!!

Lize: Honestly, this little...

 

After this, he finally turned to Nemesis. She and Elizabeth have been badmouthing him all this time, so he wanted to make sure he wouldn't just stay quiet about this.

 

Mirfah: And lastly, you. What are you, Ms. Perfect?! Do you excel on everything just so you can look down on every mistake of others?! Of course you are, SINCE YOU JUST SCREAM AT EVERY SINGLE HELLISH POINT SOMEONE DOES!! IF IT'S DIFFERENT FROM THE WAY YOU ACT, IT'S NOT GOOD?! TO HELL WITH THAT!!

 

Furious, he turned his back at them and began to walk alone. He didn't even care if he was going in the wrong direction again, as long as they weren't near him and someone else would come after him, it'd be fine.

 

Mirfah: I take back what I said. I'd prefer to be lost at this point than being found by you. If you're so unhappy to have wasted your precious time looking for me, then don't worry. IN THE NEXT TIME, DON'T COME AFTER ME!! IF I'M IN DANGER, LET ME DIE FOR WHATEVER YOU CARE!!

Lize: You... you UNGRATEFUL LITTLE BRAT...!!

 

Agni Artwaltz and Magnum Alexandria

 

Agni: There are some loud screams... is it a commotion?

Magnum: I don't know, but the voices sounded a little familiar.

Agni: I'm going to check it and I'll be right back. Don't follow me, I'll be fine.

 

Agni walked towards the direction the whole screams came. He was a little worried because of the familiarity of the voices so he sped up his steps.

Mirfah's insults at Tommy were so harsh that he went onto his knees and started crying.

O - on the bright side, f - for my help, will I still be able to know more about Agni's marriage?

3 minutes ago, A person said:

Nemesis: Oh, yeah, the "bright side"!

 

Nemesis: IT WOULDN'T BE A THING IF THE DUMBASS HADN'T GOTTEN HIMSELF LOST IN THE FIRST PLACE!

 

She took a deep breath. She was just working herself up at this point.

 

Nemesis: What goes on in that brain of yours, Tommy? It really confuses me...

If you had been dropped head-first onto Earth from a million lightyears away, wouldn't you be stupid as well?

4 minutes ago, A person said:

Nemesis followed behind her, a glare fixated upon Mirfah.

 

Nemesis: We could've been finished with everything here by now. I would've had my answers, would've known everything I needed to know, and you all would've been able to get everything done if you HADN'T GOTTEN YOURSELF LOST, YOU DUMBASS! We looked EVERYWHERE for you, all because YOU made a dumb choice! Oooh...you should feel lucky that we're not in a forest. The things I would do to you...

 

If it wasn't obvious previously, it was now very clear that she was seething. She was ready to kill him.

Hey, guys, can we please look at the bright side?

Tommy smiled.

At least we found Mirfah...

3 minutes ago, Agni Blackheart said:

Elizabeth Bathory and Mirfah

 

Mirfah: Oh yeah, they're some of the friends I made in the group!

 

Elizabeth was ready to skewer Mirfah, but she knew it would cause trouble to them if they decided to fight or even take their weapons out. Not to mention the stranger who accompanied him.

 

Lize: ...

Mirfah: I'm sorry I got lost. The city's kinda big, so I got distracted.

Lize: T-That's fine, it's totally fine! Accidents happen so much, oh my god...

Mirfah: We were heading to that "The Warrior's Hangout" before you could appear. I was kinda worried about what was waiting there, but I'm glad that I found you now!

Lize: Hehe... he... well, then I suppose we can get going now.

 

She bowed graciously to the stranger, portraying a worried look.

 

Lize: I'm sorry if Mirfah caused you any trouble, mister. He's a problematic kid, you see.

Mirfah: What?! But you just said-

Lize: N-Nemesis, why don't we take Mirfah along with us right now? Tommy, make sure you don't stay behind too.

 

Elizabeth pushed Mirfah away as they went through the road. She wouldn't just snap at him in front of someone, that would be disgraceful.

 

Tommy followed.

Okay, ma'am! Anything you say!

11 minutes ago, A person said:

 

Nemesis would be able to spot Mirfah through the crowds in the distance, the anger beginning to well up inside her. She quickly quelled it, however, and started to approach him, waving her right sleeve in the air.

 

Nemesis: Mirfah! Over here!

 

 

She then noticed the male in the red coat behind him.

 

Nemesis: Huh, looks like he's made a friend.

Oh, he did!? I'm so proud he made a new friend!

Tommy jumped into the air victoriously.

YEAH! WE FOUND MIRFAH!

13 minutes ago, Agni Blackheart said:

Elizabeth Bathory

 

Lize: Good that we managed to find his location. Now, let's move before we lose him again.

 

Elizabeth followed Nemesis and Tommy. She wasn't too interested on the chuckles, but Tommy's innocent excitement pleased her. She was having a joyful experience out of this "deal" so she just played along.

Yeah! I can't wait 'til we find Mirfah! When I find him, I'm gonna come over to him, and I'm gonna give him a big hug!

7 minutes ago, A person said:

Man of Few Words: No problem.

 

He proceeded to continue walking in the same direction he was walking previously. Nemesis walked over to them.

 

Nemesis: So, that makes two with the same response. Let's hurry up and see if we can't find him right now.

 

Despite her pleased exterior, she was quietly thinking about what she would do to him when they found him. Maybe pluck his eyebrows slowly, maybe brand him somehow. She couldn't help but chuckle to herself as she started to follow the northeastern main road.

Tommy chuckled back, although he didn't exactly know why Nemesis had chuckled.

Yeah; the quicker we can find Mirfah, the better!

4 minutes ago, A person said:

Man of Few Words: Saw him going down that road there.

 

He pointed at the main road going northeast.

 

Man of Few Words: Looked out of it. Probably not that far along.

...so that means we should be close!

Tommy smiled.

Thanks, sir; you've been very helpful today!

3 minutes ago, Agni Blackheart said:

Elizabeth Bathory

 

Lize: (Hehehe... what an innocent kid. Playing with him will be definitely interesting!)

 

She looked back at Nemesis while smiling with mischief. Whether or not the girl would understand the meaning was another story.

 

Lize: Shall we begin to ask around then? I don't want to leave Agni waiting for too long.

Yeah! I think that would be a good idea!

Tommy was still enthusiastic about helping his other teammates find Mirfah.

3 minutes ago, Agni Blackheart said:

Elizabeth Bathory

 

It worked, just as she had expected. Now, he would respond to everything she would speak, for as long as the deal was up. Maybe she could do other things, but that level of enticement was enough.

 

Lize: Well then, be a kind boy and go ask to that man over there.

 

She pointed to a man right at the end of the street. Although there were more people closer to them, maybe they wouldn't be able to help them since they weren't even able to think about the area where Mirfah might have gone.

 

Lize: We'll inspect the people here. And please, have manners to talk with them. We don't want to scare them now, do we?

 

Okay!

Tommy walked over to the man.

Sir, do you know where someone named Mirfah could've gone? Me and my friends have been looking for him for a long time...

3 minutes ago, Agni Blackheart said:

Elizabeth Bathory

 

Lize: Good, good boy! I can see that you wish to know more about it! Now, the last thing I have to say is...

 

This wasn't the end of it. Elizabeth knew that he would get even more fired up with what she would do. She leaned on him gently and whispered on his ear.

 

Lize: I... am counting on you, Tommy... do this for me ❤

I'M GONNA DO IT! I'M GONNA DO IT!

Tommy started jumping up and down out of excitement.

I'M GONNA DO IT JUST FOR YOU!

11 minutes ago, Agni Blackheart said:

She had a plan. A way of making him less distracted. It involved something he was really curious to know and it would make him work harder towards his goal.

 

Lize: Tommy, we need to find that idiot Mirfah right now, so that means no distractions, stops and guitars right now. But I have a deal. If you promise that you'll fully cooperate...

Lize: I'll get the information about Agni's marriage for you. How does that sound?

...

This was Tommy right now.

4 minutes ago, A person said:

For once, Nemesis actually smiled at Tommy.

 

Nemesis: Glad to see you've changed your mind. Now come on; we've waited too long to go on!

 

Nemesis, noticing another road splitting off from the main road, proceeded to follow it, trying to keep her distance from the place where she shoved the person that had gotten in her way, knowing that those that witnessed it probably wouldn't be so willing to answer any questions she might ask.

Alright! Let's go! We've wasted too much time! Let's get back to the main objective!

2 minutes ago, A person said:

Nemesis pinched the skin between her eyebrows and lowered her head as she shook it.

 

Nemesis: You're hopeless...

 

She shot her head back up to glare at Tommy.

 

Nemesis: Are you here to help find Mirfah, or are you here to goof off and let him stay lost? I don't know about you, but I'd rather make sure our party stays together just in case we're all needed for something because we all came here under very similar circumstances. If you're not going to help, you might as well go to the..."Warrior's Hangout", since you're not going to be very useful here otherwise.

Tommy sighed.

Sorry... it's just...

Tommy immediately went back to being his upbeat self.

...well? What're we waiting for? Let's find Mirfah before we end up never finding him again!

5 minutes ago, A person said:

Nemesis: Good!

 

Nemesis: Now see to it that it doesn't happen again.

 

And with that, she proceeded to shove him back towards Elizabeth. Once they had forcibly regrouped, she started to talk again, her anger now gone.

 

Nemesis: Okay, to find this guy, I think we're going to need the help of the locals, so I think we should start by asking them if they've seen him around. Considering how big this place is, I don't think he's gotten very far, so at least one person should have seen him. 

Tommy pulled out his guitar.

In the meantime, who wants to hear some guitar to brighten up their day?

Tommy was still slightly upset after getting yelled at.

I sure know I do...

4 minutes ago, A person said:

She proceeded to drag Tommy away from the quiet waiter, snarling at him.

 

Nemesis: If you pull some shit like that again, it'll be the LAST time you do ANYTHING here, you got that?!

Nemesis' yelling scared Tommy, to the point where he started crying slightly.

O - okay! P - please don't yell at me like that!

2 minutes ago, A person said:

Nemesis stormed after him, muttering loudly as she shoved someone out of her way, causing them to fall onto their rear end.They quickly got up and ran off, and a couple of guards were now paying close attention to her. Once at the restaurant, she proceeded to reach up and try to snatch him up by his collar, smiling at the waiter as she did so.

 

Nemesis: I'm so sorry, he isn't used to life in the city. I deeply apologize for his rudeness.

 

 

Hey! Let me go! I was only going to have something small to nibble on before we went back to our mission!

Tommy turned back to the waiter.

You'll still bring me the extra large pizza with fries, right?

2 minutes ago, A person said:

Nemesis growled. Loudly.

 

Nemesis: TOMMY! GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE BEFORE I DRAG IT BACK HERE!

Tommy looked over to Nemesis.

BUT I HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT!

Tommy turned over to the waiter.

Could I please have an extra large pizza with a large fries to go? One of my friends is waiting for me!

Tommy went on his own seperate ways... completely separating him from both Edward and Frank.

...that kid's gonna get eaten alive out there...

MEANWHILE, BACK WITH TOMMY...

Tommy sniffed in order to find out where Mirfah could've gone... but ended up smelling food instead, causing his hunger to get the best of him as he dashed away from the others to a nearby restaurant.

FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! :D
