The Park, Monday Evening

[multiplez]

After an emergency pastry run to Jeff, God of Biscuits', Z and Bridge were walking back toward the school through the park. Z was carrying a box of doughnuts, and they were bickering about which Mighty Capin' Justice Magician was the coolest.

"I never thought I'd say this, but it's gotta be the pink one," Z insisted.

((Closed for plotty stuff, but open after that, as parks are.))

"I don't know..." Bridge says. "I mean, the green guy's pretty cool too."

[multiplez]

"Yeah, sure, but the pink one's so...can I say spunky?" Z asked. "And then of course there's the yellow guy."

"Anyone who puts marshmallows on pizza is cool in my book," Bridge admits.

A girl came skipping out, holding a large doll in her hands. "What's your name?" she asked.

Z looked concerned by the girl. "Are you lost, sweetie?"

[robotboyfetish.livejournal.com]

"I asked my question first," the girl said, stamping a foot.

"That's not very nice," Bridge says with a slight frown. His expression softens somewhat and he adds. "My name's Bridge."

The girl's face lit up with a wicked smile. "Is your name Z?" she asked, well, Z.

[multiplez]

"How'd you know that?" Z asked the girl.

"We're going to have so much fun, isn't that right, Cindy Sunshine?" the girl was addressing her doll. "We're going to play a little game." She skipped a bit away, and beckoned for Z and Bridge to follow. "Come on!"

Bridge frowns and glances at Z. "Is it just me or is she kinda..." he makes a hand gesture that's supposed to indicate 'creepy'.

Z shook her head. "It's not just you. But we can't just leave her wandering around, can we? I mean, there are ninjas and hookers and pirates and...things."

Mora made a sad face when they didn't follow. "If you don't come plya I'll tell my daddy you were MEEEEEEEEAN."

[multiplez]

"Okay, see, she has parents around here somewhere," Z said slightly desperately. "We're off the hook!" Somehow, she suspected this was against SPD regulations, however.

"It's our responsibility as future police officers to make sure she gets to them safely, though," Bridge points out, starting to follow in the direction Mora had gone.

[multiplez]

Z chased after him quickly. "Bridge, Bridge, wait, I'm not sure this is a good idea. She's creepy!"

Emperor Gruumm, like the mighty warlord he is, had been hiding behind a tree this whole time. When Z and Bridge got close, he hopped out and blasted two shots of a fancy colored ray at them.

"Hahahahahaha!"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge immediately adopts a fighting stance, pulling off a glove as he does so. He reaches out mentally and... nothing.

Huh. So that's what that fancy-coloured ray had done, then.

So Bridge goes with the only reasonable option left open to him: "Run!" he shouts at Z.

[multiplez]

Z did not have to be told twice. She ran like the wind. But she didn't drop the doughnuts, because she had plenty of experience in the field of running away while hanging onto the goods.

Gruumm threw down his ray angrily.

"Come back here! You're not supposed to run away!"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge? Would apologize. Really.

But he's too busy running the hell away, thanks.

[multiplez]

Z? Same.
