The table adventure I

After Finishing the movie document, members of certain adventure party which were sitting at 'Schmuck fun place' were in awe, because they were not expected this big turns of events. Especially when that fox from her 'latest TV episode' showed that she will not hesitate to make drastic decisions.

Of course Savii 2.0, who pulled the strings on this current adventure, couldn't afford to lose her goal here. She had a pull to take the lead in this party that was falling on they knees, before even reaching the final boss. "I must admit that there were a lot of parts that even I don't remember."

The duo Newdori – Roxxan (plus Vronica) for some reason stayed passive or calm, don't bothering to make a reaction commentary, and just cold stared at the maid.

But Furtrap was in his inner conflict, as if the pressure of situation in which was currently, finally hit him. It was like a shock. "I get married… I had a wife… And she left… For a skirmish on some tea party…" As tears pushed into his eyes, whit devastated expression he looked at his assistant. "Savii… just why~y??"

.

She glanced at him back whit an expression of disagree. "If you will ignore all the pressented evidence about external influence, then you shall start by pointing on yourself. Because in my defense: You left me unsupervised."

"What are you talking about? I left you…" But he soon lost all his words. He helplessly glanced on the other side of the table for a help. But it was for no use as that duo continued they cold stare.

.

And then, she delivered the final blow. "Like I said: unsupervised." It was enough to keep the white furry silent. But after a short moment, she sighed, to try a different approach. "I don't know why I had been accused from 'break and entry' when I obtained from the two detective's access rights to the compound? I was allowed to get into restricted area if I can handle the dangers delving there and leftover traps. We done exactly that, nothing got missing, nothing was break. Plus we had been the victims who survived, but got criticized. And for more dishonesty aimed on my account, I was punished by doing her duty. Why?"

As the party though about the reasons why she was here, the entire concept was really strange from the start. There was no doubt that: 'Because this was a perfect punished for her according to her deepest wish.', was the easy answer. But clearly that statement must be just a cover up, as they clearly act as some chess pieces in someone game-play.

.

When the silence fall again, Savii suddenly make this gesture as if she finally realized something important. "Oh my,-- princess! It comes to my mind that you seem to looking for somebody this hole session. Probably you desire for some certain one to show up and join us here. From all possible names I can think, isn't that somebody probably a MegaMem3? The footage we just saw showed him on the party. So, he must entered the team race competition, But, I didn't see him on the morning dinner assembly scene. How strange." She sounded nearly wondering, (how it can be?). But... The rest of the party members, included the kitten, give her a doubtful look. As if it was too obvious, that there is secondary intention, when she brings this topic right now. So the maid tried it go with a worried smile. "If you let me guess, lately, you probably hasn't been able to find him anywhere. And because of the memory loss, you or we don't even know why." As Vronica swapped whit Roxxan, she open out her eyes wide as she was thinking about unthinkable. And the maid continue to (teasing?) her whit her words. "So you cannot possibly know where he was been left (probably by one of you), and probably still waiting there to be picked up. Again, waiting for one of you, to do it!"

The white princess girl stand up from her seat. She smashed her open palms of her hands onto the table surface, and with a gesture, she directly demanded to that person to be brought to her this instant.

.

But the maid in apology bowed her head down. "I am sorry, but I don't know where mister Megamem3 is. Instead I have an idea how to start looking for him. But for that, I will need a little-- investment to establish the connection." In humbly manner she placed in front of herself one of these 'coupons' she still had in her possession. She already demonstrated that she can use those to summon a few characters.

As the maid slide the 'token' toward the princes, Vronica immediately understands what need to be done. No words were needed and it happened in a moment. She grabbed a dinner knife and do deep cut into her thumb. Before her blood started sprinting around like a fountain on plaza, she slammed her thumb right into the middle of that 'ticked'. It was like someone turn over and split over a full glass of thick red juice and the puddle expanded quickly. The leaked blood not only completely covered the 'token', but it spread on table. It was okay to say that the blood was everywhere. Someone will dare to say that someone splashed tomato so hard that it liquid itself. Soon the blood stopped spreading and even stopped pouring out of the wound. Then a shining crimson magic/ alchemy circle showed on the table on its own with the princess thumb as a center. As the spell was activated, all that blood around put on reverse and headed toward the token. It was sucked into the 'ticked', soaked into it and all of it mysteriously disappear in it. After that the magic circle disappeared and the only remark of making a contract was a detail; that any black color on that piece of paper [text, symbol or what ewer] turned into shining crimson red. The token was activated.

From the trio of observers of this gig [performance], only Newdori stated that she used too much for something like this. And if the blood was currency of life, then this investment was like 'Money slap' with 'Shut up and take my money!' message.

.

Now Savii hold on her hand a 'coupon' that emitted a strange magical aura. "So, if you excuse me, I will go get yours husband." As she stepped out from the table, again into middle of the halfway,... she was acting as some movie magical girl in her costume, making her 'eye candy movie dance moves' to cast the spell. But instead of renunciation of some lyric, or 'hero flame speech' she just do a famous but simple ringtone melody for communicator.

It takes some time of awkward silence, and someone can count the seconds as she was just standing there and nothing was happening.

But soon, from above, something flied into the restaurant.

A metal school box, designed for storage some of student personal belonging stock like clothes, books and 'sport accessory' crashed down like a homing rocket. But this one was a high tech box with a digital display, computer, cooling device and rocket engine. Big enough to carry an entire person or regular size personal stack of weaponry, to designated coordination's with just simple push of button, or call. No wonder it has this 'Huntsmen's and Huntresses' Academy' logo on it.

As soon as the crash landing smoke calm down, the maid approached the box sucked on that halfway. She pressed button on its door to open it. As the door activate whit hiss a large cloud of freezing white puffy mist force his way out of the box door, as if this box was a freezer for long storage of food. The withe cloud was in enough density to fill the hall floor, with freezing coldness. Some others customers and stuff pulled out theirs feet's from the floor seeking higher ground from sneaking freezing clouds. It was not clear, but the maid reaches into that box and pulled out a half frozen wolf furry covered whit iced snow on several places. It was MegaMem3 in blue-white color tin pallet.

As Savii moved Mega to Vronica he regains his consciousness but instantly start shivered because he was freezing cold.

So the girls quickly manage to put him into seat between princess and priest. As Vronica was holding his husband/ wife/ Waifu by torso she silently demanded that the other 'companion' on seat, will voluntary share his body heat to the person in need. So Newdori rolled around his eyes in 'Whatever manner' and pressed himself on Mega putting his arm around his shoulders.

As this was settled, the maid returned her attention to the school box. With just pushing the 'return button' on the metal rocket control panel, the device departed like a rocker launching itself straight up.

[*MegaMem3, has joined the party, after being pulled out from ice.*]

.

As the maid returned to table putting a cup of hot drink into the wolf hero hands, she asks him how he feels.

He was still shaking from cold, but he managed to speak. "Never again… This is the first, and last time, I spend a night in a school box. This... Experience... It's not good by any means... 'Newer do that… to me… again!'... To anyone! Its terrible!... How long I was been there anyway?"

As the entire group flinched, Savii quickly stated that is 'Next day morning.' It was not technically a lie. At last from his perspective. [for him is next day] But they cannot tell him right now, that he was frozen ice stick for a significantly longer period of time.

Fizzi was not sure how to ask the obvious, but he simply must. "Buddy, are you okay? What happened to you?"

.

It take him second or two to process the question, but then he barks at him. "What happened to me??! Are you really asking what happened to me?! Then I can tell you what happened. From yours faces I tell, that I am pretty sure that all of you have a big window from the last night. None of you don't remembering a thing. Not big surprise from the fact how drunk you all been. But I guess, that when you decided to bring me onto the after party, then at last I can be a good guest of the show and tell interested story about what happened. Especially highlighting all the embarrassed thing you done yesterday night."

The party dint's say a word to that idea and let him went himself.

.

.

So he begins his story. "First of all, you want to know how I ended up in that closet? Is that right? Well, as if it was for some high school parody: Roxxan, out of jealousy, has put me into that school box, because everyone around got pulled in to participate in prank: 'Let's all flirt with Mega'. Even Fizzi and Kurama did it." He make a sip. "And you Fizzi,-- you call yourself, how helpful you are to everyone. And yes!: You was so helpful, that you had been 'everywhere'. Do you all remember the scene about what will happen when a cat get interested in ceiling industrial fan? Especially when a certain control nod/string, which handling down from it, keeps spinning in circles because of the rotation inertia from the sheer power of that large fan? The cat jumped up and grabbed that string. With the click the rotation speed was set to maximum. As a ridiculous it is been, soon the area was windy enough that someone thought that some helicopter was taking off. But the cat in question refused to let loose, and stubbornly hold onto that string. As the power of industrial fan worked as centrifuge, that cat start circling around. How that fan dint crash down is a mystery, As the cat has making those big circles around like extended fan blade, his panic scream interrupted by the rumbling wind from that machine, sounded crazy like a meowing. Every time he flew close, it was like a fast passing F1-car: 'Meow.' 'Meow.' Every drunken person laughed."

He take another sip until he raised his voice. "It was not funny!!" Of course he start cough.

It take him a moment to regain his breath. "Then, the string snapped, sending Fizzi to fly. But he fled into the bar, knocking the barman cold off, completely smashing the vitrines, and all the bottles start rolling around, free to grab."

This time he take a forcefully sip as he simply muss take it to speak what happened next. "Somebody then yell: 'The bar is finally open! Charge!!' Fizzi was pickup into air, on top of many hands, as everyone celebrating him as a hero. As the horde of drunk's pillage the bar to the last bottle of soda, they still wanted more. So when they went outside for more, they dint return with bags full of bottles from night store. No~o... They returned with the entire wending machine for drinks and snacks that was previously stationed outside. Next they play random wining roulette about for who and what will fall out from it. No mater who won what, all of them make this victory roar, and everyone celebrated like it was a goal on world finals." He take another sip. "How and when Beepu sneak inside that machine? I don't know. But the argue about that certain baguette was brutal. No one known what Sugar has whispered the final winner into its ear, that she received it as a gift with no hesitation or comply."

Listening to him was like listening to someone who returned from the battlefield shocked to the core. "There was so much of drunken stuff going around, that I don't know what to pick up to tell about it. But I know for sure, that the theatrical naval battle between pirate ship and some hairy (sea?) monster truly occurred inside of that lobby. During that event the party get truly wild. And those little ones, who escaped the scavenger hunt, was on far bigger loose that any of us."

.

.

After he make the last sip finishing his hot drink to warm himself from inside, he look around as if he was just remembered something important. "But we shall probably go save 'Radiant' from those girls. He asked me for that if nobody will be able to find him around."

On this statement the party exchanged a quick look and then it all ended on Savii. She pickup the book to check something. Then she draw something on paper napkin as if it was a spell to check his status. Like if he become a pet or something. Then as she closed that book she make a 'Hmm' of understanding. So, she grabbed another 'coupon' and from where she was sitting, she make another summoning ritual make this whistle sound.

The ritual was a success and she summoned onto restaurant a gray-withe weasel or badger in purple sweater and with teddy bear plushy on his back.

As soon he was risen up from that magic circle at the middle of the hallway and look at Savii, he instantly understands that the power of token has been used. He had something to say from bottom of his heart and doesn't looked double happy. "It was about time! Do you all getting how long…" As he looks at the party and sees their dummy looks, he glanced at slowly De-freezing Mega being hugged by certain duo, and he lost his words. "Oh I see… I am not the only one who took the bullet... You to, had it hard buddy. And the rest of you?... Probably don't remember a thing. I even can hear that draft from how wide open windows you four have. I had prepared an entire speech for this moment, but seeing this nonsense, the speech is going right to the bin. I will say only this: I am glad that at last you managed to remembered at me buddy. Thank you. Thank you all for pulling me out. But if you excuse me, when I am finally out, I suddenly have some conflict on my feelings. Or an instant cold turkey. [withdraw effects] So~o, I will go scream to a void for a while." And with this famous words he marched out from the restaurant.

[*Party obtained a title: Zero effort in solving side quests.*]

[Notes, theories, and misleading explanations.]

-Megamem3 - (Mega meme?) Poses: 'Hero Trait' that resonate with Vronica 'Heroine Trait'. He has a special type of blood, which is excellent for certain blood ritual. (He doesn't know about it.) There was even theory that with Roxxan help: Mega is a child to himself and Vronica. Like a reborn/ reincarnate prodigy, that shall be prepared when the time (comes?)

-(Random scene when those two meet at date: Mega to Vronica: "Excuse me? Where I had been this whole time? Where you had been for the last whole 3 months?!" While Vronica was spreading random excuses, Roxxan on other side of supposed mirror whisper for herself as it was meant for him: 'You shall know that the tier 5 Blood sacrifice altar will not build itself over single night.') [PS: This joke is lame, and I apology for it.]

About the title they got for saving Radiant, previously it was like: (Zero effort saviors.) (Zero effort saviors for a side quests.)

-cliche [cliché]- a phrase or opinion that is overused and betrays a lack of original thought.
