More Questions J: (on the couch) Why was there blood on the handle? I don’t remember getting cut. And I don’t have any marks on me. (looks at his right hand) The blood had to have come from Incubus. But how di..... wait. Maybe it’s.... no, that doesn’t make sense. Then again.... A: (from behind) What’cha doin’? Reading your palm to see the future? J: I was just thinking. A: (hugs him) ^_^ J: And what do you want? A: Hmm... nuthin’. (jumps onto the couch and lays her head in Justin’s lap) Just a little cat-nap maybe. J: And you want me to sing you to sleep? A: (chibi-eyed) Pweeeease? J: *sigh* You know I can’t say ‘no’ to those eyes. A: ^_^ J: (pats her head) A: *purr purr purr* J: (starts singing) “Let me fall. Let me climb. There’s a moment where fear and dreams must collide Someone I am is waiting for courage The one I want, the one I will become will catch me (starts singing in melody and harmony SIMULTANIOUSLY) So let me fall if I must fall. I won’t heed your warnings. I won’t hear them.” A: 0_0 ??? J: (still singing) “All I ask. All I need...” A: (sits up) J: What is it? A: I didn’t know you could do that. J: Do what? A: Sing with two voices. J: ......what? A: Just now, I could’ve sworn you were singing in two voices! J: Pfff! That’s silly! A: ........ J: What? A: Sing again. Anything. J: Um.... (in normal voice) “Amazing Grace. How sweet the sound. That saved a wretch like me....” A: Hmm.... J: Maybe you were hearing things. A: ....... Maybe. (lays back down) J: (starts singing again) “I close my eyes, and there in the swadows I see your light. You come to me out of my dreams across the night. (starts singing in two voices again) You take my hand, though you may be so many stars away. I know that our spirits and souls are one...” A: (sits up) There it goes again! J: Huh? A: You did it again! I’m sure! J: Hmm....... (feels throat) “Loo, loo, skip to my loo. Loo, loo, skip to my loo.” (nothing) A: ??? J: Wait a minute. (closes eyes) *deep breath* (in two voices) “For always, forever. Beyond here and on to eternity...” Aah! (covers mouth) A: 0_0 J: What.... the.....? Later... J: Thank you all for coming. The first official meeting of the Otaku Rifters Guild has begun. Have any of you ever wondered why we’re able to do some of the things we do? Ozy J: What do you mean? J: I mean the transformations and such. Ozy and Red: ??? J: Oh, right. That hasn’t happened to you guys yet. But Deej, hasn’t it ever bothered you? DJ: Not really. J: *sigh* There has to be some sort of explanation. Red: Hey, we’re super-heroes. We’re supposed to have unexplainable powers. J: We’re not super-heroes, Red. We’re more like nomads. Red: Huh? Ozy J: Wanderers. Drifters. Red: I’m not a drifter! J: *groan* We’re getting off the subject! DJ: Man, you’re really serious about this. J: It just doesn’t make sense. Ozy J: Maybe our “rifting” capabilities are just one of our powers. J: But how did we get them? Could any of you do these things before you came here? All: (shake their heads) J: Me neither. Doesn’t that seem a little odd? DJ: Maybe our bodies are.... adapting? J: Adapting to what? Eccentricity? Red: Well, everyone has strange powers here. Maybe we’re just developing some of our own. J: Hmm. No, that still doesn’t make any sense. Ozy J: Well, this world obviously has some sort of effect on us. J: (scratching his beard) I think that’s enough for today. I’m going to be looking into this for a while. DJ: Why not just ask Washu? J: No offense to your wife, Deej, but something tells me that science won’t be able to explain this. Thanks again for coming guys. Meeting adjourned.
