Chereads / The All-Eclectic Party / Chapter 3 - 3: So idiotic. I like it.

Chapter 3 - 3: So idiotic. I like it.

"So that's why."

As I clasped my fist. I finally understood why Chuni was so livid at me.. or was it envy? Didn't care to ask.

Antique sat down, laid his hands back to the ground while flailing his feet up and down. [I, I mean we, Got an itty bitty too carried away with his wee flowery words and never did us wondered an inkling that its a stinking lie]

Specs stretched his neck [Hardly the case...He has this demeanor about him. Admittingly disgusting, but can draw us in with his words...] then stretched his arms [Truly an exhilarating feeling!.] cracked his neck [huh, weird.] starred ahead and clapped his hands [I want to cut him open! Haha]

Specs.. well, he has his unique way of talking.

[Just a quick inquiry] Specs said. He yawned then looked at me.

I stared back at him, squinting my eyes, and said: "And?"

He stared for a few seconds and gestured with his hand... [ahmm, hmm... I need to come up with a subject first], and he then giggled away.

We got acquainted... all of us got acquainted, somewhat. Comfortable is not the right word for now, but it is along that line. What? are they still beating up Chuni? Of course. Why not? Why is anyone not doing anything? They are doing something! They are beating him up! What? Do you mean stopping them? Tsk. Instead, just let them be. Since loud noises, pain, groan, slur, cuss, and other fun activities of being ganged up, showed that they are not done yet.

[Boy] A thunderous voice and awe as the Monk spoke.

"IHHH! Y-yes?"

[Shan't you unwind first in the beautiful outside weather? hmm?] as he pointed to a screen

I gaped in surprise as I honestly did not saw that thing earlier. A literal first-person perspective into the outside world... and to think I am the designated driver while these fools are the noisy backseat passengers... Hey, why did I even think I am the designated driver?

[BOY!] as the Monk shouted

[Concentration is losing you] as he added

"How the hel- cough. Excuse m. Sir, How can I go back?" as I thought about it, I never really figured out anything about what is going on.. besides them and establishing a sod story of "get-to-know" everyone

[Similar as the previous one you did] he claimed

"What"

[Close your eyes and breathe, boy] clasping his hands together and closing his eyes…

"..."

he opened one of his eyes and nudge to mirror him

"Oh!. right"

3.... 2.... 1…

-------------------

So no shit, there we were. Probably each of us died in some unknown unsavory manner. Transported to a white box, got sucked into a mcflurry, flowed through like tadpoles inside an Asgardian rainbow bridge, magically put living being inside of me, dropped down from the sky, face-first into the unknown. An absurd amount of testosterones inside me (figuratively.) As for our sanity, nobody asks any vital question on why, where, and how we got into this situation. But no one is willing to stop ganging up on Chuni to pay any attention to the problem. We are here (technically, I am the only one here), standing on top of a small plateau overlooking the luscious forest on the horizon…

Breathe in…

Breathe out…

---------------

*Insert BGM[FFVIII- Breeze]

"Really? No one remembers their names?" as I said. Finding myself nothing to do as I sat down at the edge of the cliff, swinging my legs to the wind.

Specs adjusted his glasses [Truly Unfortunate]

Antique laughed and slapped his tummy [Oh. I stopped caring. Haha]

[Do not let this occupy your thoughts, boy] as the Monk added in.

Conny tried to tell us something, but he can't at the moment, for he is in between catching his breath and pummeling Chuni's face [I. Should. Have. Known. Uh. But. Now. Ha! I-don't-care!]

[here's another one!!]

[nOoo...] as Chuni groan.

[Leth... He has continued his prolonged slumber] Monk added.

Hey, just so you know, we called the sleeping guy Leth in short for Lethargic (obvious observation by specs), but Antique insisted on shortening it.

Conny cried out a sigh of satisfaction [hoooowee!]

He cracked his neck and then flicked his hand in annoyance [Does it matter? and you. You practically sucked us inside of you, I don't like the idea, and I'm not having fun with it.. so why with the sudden care, huh? Oh a-and, I'm not done with you... ]

"Ah-huh." as I replied

[You-have-a-name!!] Chuni blurted out.

[Uuiuuuuuu! Gossip! Yummie]

Creepingly enough, We did not expect, or none of us expected, the manner spec's talked about 'Gossip' or why it's considered gossip for him or why the inclusion of the word 'yummy.'

The Monk just sighed and knitted his brows [find a way into the forest, boy... leave us be for now]

"Ah. Right away, sir," as I paused for a sec and took a glance towards the forest horizon just as Conny pummeled Chuni yet again but for a different reason.

Conny- [Spit it out! Fatty!]

Spec - [This is exhilarating!]

Antique- [AHHHHHHHH!]

Monk- [The intricacies of life... Leave no whispers!]

-------

Describing my journey on how to get down on these stories' high landmass is quite tricky. The 6 idiots are doing their own thing, and I can't find the right time to describe this nonsense without having them taking too much of my attention.

Oh, this side of the cliff is just a straight ride down…

too scary…

The main question in my mind right now, as looking at this for a long time, is that obviously, I don't know where we are. Previously I stumbled around the topic of another world shenanigans, quite ironic that I'm pretty experiencing it now…

That is not good. this side is scary, too... a lot of jagged spikes…

I'm in the thrown-into-the-wilderness category, so to speak. Expectation? on my top list; Living alone in this wilderness and grind enough to face slap some high horse riding someone (OP route). Got to save some damsel in distress... damsels in distress? (harem route) The good old struck some gold, got recognized by many, got hunted by the many, and found a secret/old spirit/weapon/manual-ish/technique-ish/teacher? Then get back into the idiocy route. A long repeating process that the author does not recognize the end of their novel anymore and just continues feeding their ego... What? I'm saying too much? Pfft! Okay. I'm sorry

Oh hey, this side looks approachable enough, a bit of needed jumping down there and some zigzagging down.

[hey-hey-hey, Yeah, just jump down.] Conny suddenly blurted out

[I second the motion] Specs added too

[Bad idea, Lad] Antique said it too

Is it a wrong decision on my part? Cause look, jumping on that side looks safe…

[Trusting the insights of the experienced ones is the necessary action for this moment] again with the fantastic voice of Monk

"Ha! jokes on you people! Since we don't know each other, listening to all of you is just optional!"

[... Then jump down on that ledge] as Monk nonchalantly said it.

I might have pissed him off.

".... I was only kidding."

[....]

Alright... I got too distasteful on that part. or was it he's too dense? Yeah... It is my fault.

I got the first part of my problem, finding a way down from here. Now, the second part of the problem, Actually going down... Moving back and forth definitely did not help me. I was told to just view my direct way to the ground. Bad advice. Did not helped one bit as currently, I am hugging the ground where I stand on. Those monkeys laughed at me. Apparently, it was a way to get back at me.

Then I was told to sit down along the edge, carefully climb-weave-jump-repeat my way down. As entertaining, it might be, but re-telling the nerve-wracking experience of climbing down the cliff(sudden development of fear of heights). Mentally taxing for enduring the annoyance that is a frathouse inside my head, and my lack of knowledge of climbing mountains. I was not enjoying this new life. Not at all.

--------

[[[[Let it go! let it go! let it go!]]]] a cadence of encouragement from the others. or is it teasing? I don't know, but I'm pretty sure they want me dead.

Antique interrupt me with a cough [Gee. Boy, Just le' go. It's just a tee pain no need to be shay about it-- You! Fat boy! shut ya face!]

Specs too added his insight [Low chances of death. The probability of death will increase if you let your head hit the ground. First, that is.]

Conny clapped as he seems to be in a good mood [Just Wonderful kid! Oh, so wonderful! NOT!]

In a bit of unsure but caring and calming voice, Monk said [Trust us, boy. Naught to be afraid]

"I-I-I can't letggggoooo!" I screamed.

As pitiful it may be, a bit embarrassing, to be honest, but I am hanging for dear life. All thoughts have flashed right before me, like how disappointing this new life for me, how I gonna get back at those morons for making fun of me, the adventuring, the homies, and bunnies I gonna be meeting, all gone with this chain of worst decisions…

[STOP! S-STOP, just stop! This whole dragging this out. Not entertaining anymore. Ohh. HAHA. might be fun at the start, but not anymore! so stop yapping and let go!] as conny is frustrated

[and stop with the damn monologing! Heck! I am damn frustrated! Just jump down! How hard can it be? Ohh... wait! kid! don't think about it... crap he thought about it] he added

[Youngy! Come on! Youngy! no need to be afraid] as Antique tried to persuade me

[He has every opportunity to be afraid...] as Specs started prattling on about many things, I lost track of

Suddenly

[ALRIGHT! FOOLS! I HAD JUST ENOUGH!] with a booming voice, Monk shouted with grit and frustration, and most surprisingly of all, his inner "hood" might have just stood a bit there

Oh hey, that's not right, when I suddenly opened my eyes, the sights before is the sky... I could have sworn a bit that I was looking at the mountain…

OH SHIT, I'M FA---

*SPLASH*

"Cough cough. I-I-I almost die from that."

*Sob*

[Don't beat yourself up, Lad. It was an okay dip into the pond,] Antique tried to assure me... might have been with a pat on the back with that attempt. But somehow forgot that the one he's trying to pat the proverbial back is the one currently he is inside of. With the stroke of genius... he slapped the back of Specs instead.. which he did not take it very well.

[AHHHH!! God damn! That hurts!] as Specs jumps around while trying to reach his back with his hands.

[Damn you, old man! uhhhhhh... that really stings!] as he added while groaning and being a bit teary-eyed

I laid my back on the ground and look at the sky, gazing upon it... contemplating the cherished new life that I have right now... taking in the breath of fresh air and--

[HAHA!] Conny laughed so hard... or so hysterically?

Then his tone changed, and he mockingly said [Stop being sappy, you whiney kid! You just drop into a pond from about 9 ft-ish. You can't die from it and won't die from it. So suck it up and get up]

"But I'm kinda wet, sir," I replied

[bUt iM kIndA wIt sEr] Conny replied with a stupid voice

[I'm not stupid! You're the stupid one! And with that silly name, you picked for yourself! So fucking stupid! It is freaking mindblowingly fucking stupid in such levels of stupidity. It might even have preceded to stupid levels we haven't seen before in this stupid life. Cough. Sorry. Second stupid life, I mean] Conny was so red describing it…

[Stem down with the profanity, Conny] Monk interrupted

Conny snapped back [And Wha--- Yeah, I will just stand there and shut my mouth then] and just one look from Monk's death glare, and he got timid fast.

About your name, boy. It is of utmost importance] Monk added

"what about it?"

[Not appropriate]

"tsk. not beating around the bush, sir?"

Minding my own business, I couldn't care less what they think of the name I chose for myself. For me, the best thing anyone can do to name themselves. *Smack* perfect If I may say so myself

Using the pond, with the clear water and pristine shine from the water, I outdid it this time. The hairstyle, The white hair color, that eyebrow, the jawline, and ohhhhh... that stare is gorgeous... I am absolutely delighted.

But…

It doesn't feel right…

Why is my body of an 8 something-year-old kid... So flimsy and so skinny, but damn, my body is so smooth~ The novice clothes from Ragnarok online are a surprised one. Still, indeed a welcome one... the backpack is a nice touch…

[Kiddo!] conny rudely interrupted my moment

[wha--what? Rudely?! Oh, you cunt! You finally did it. I'll beat you up so bad that the fatso will be having a traumatic flashback just from the sheer pain sounds you gonna be making!]

[Still a stupid name and a bit much there, laddy] Antique has definitely piqued his interest

[I gave up racking my head what the damn sobriquet, the references, the idiocy, and the forceful combination of words. The literacy world will cringe because of you] Specs has now attacked my confidence

"really? It doesn't really sound so bad, though," as I stroke my chin. Thinking that my taste doesn't seem so bad if you look at my way

[Say it] Monk sharply said

"Ahh... Sure?"

[Say it out load] Monk was definitely serious

"....."

With a thump of my chest, I said proudly.

"SEPHIROTH CLIVE STRANGE KRARTAXEZMUTH E. DOVSENJUELRIC"

Fatty groaned then shook his body after hearing my name. Conny just said 'stupid' over and over again, Antique just laughed, Specs just facepalm, while surprisingly, Monk said. I quote "tsk. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh" with a hint of disappointment.

"What? The name is overpowering."

[if you mean cringe, then it is overpowering with cringe] Specs butted with my statement

"y'all just don't have any taste."

[Something is definitely wrong with your taste] Conny added [So idiotic]

And out of nowhere... Leth spoke with his usual speed [I. Like. It]

I'm so delighted about that! Someone finally stood up for me! Oh, hey, he gave me the thumbs up! Best bro I could ever have!

Hey! why's everyone sighing? or is deep breathing? What? Everyone, why are you turning your back? Hey! everyone! Hello?

Tough crowd, huh...
