"Where's Bear?"
"I bet you were just dying to say that since the moment we got here, Darius."
"Yes, but.....seriously. Where is Bear? He was right behind us."
"Uhhh…..he was back there."
"Elwin."
"No. I'm serious. This is bad. This is really bad. Master told us never to leave their sight, and if He finds out, He'll ...."
"Be happy we are looking out for each other. He's over there watching the games. Guess he didn't want to wait for us."
"I'll get R and Scarlett, and we'll meet you down there."
"Sounds like a plan."
""....Enjoying your Icecream, Scarlett?"
"Goes down smooth and doesn't blout. I'd say yes."
"Good. Cause I'm enjoying your company, but want to get back at it?"
"Yeah, Scarlett. Want to get back at it?"
"Darius?"
"I'm sorry, but what exactly does 'get back at it,' mean?"
"Go back to the group. Join the others."
"Aaaah. Aaah. I see. Well then, I agree you should get back at it."
"Wai…wai….wai…wait. Scarlett, it is?"
"Hi, Cc."
"Before you go, would you like another Bowl of Icecream for the road?"
"Do I have to pay?"
"It's on the house."
"Uhhhh…..I'll be playing soon, so can I get it later?"
"Of course. What was I thinking? That's why you are here after all. Get energy for the game. I'll save it in the back for you."
"Thanks."
*Scratch, scratch, scratch*
"What was that all about? How did you pay him?"
"With a a Kiss. R, said I was the most rare animal. A sight to behold. So I gave him a kiss. Just a small taste."
"And he bowed at your feet for it? Lucky. I had to dish out five crabs....each."
"Owww. That's a lot of Crabs. Where'd you get them from?"
"I saw the Cook was low, and thought he wanted them so…"
*Prickle, prickle, prick..*
"Aaaaaaaghhh. What's that Crab doing on your arm? Give it here."
"No, no, no. It's my friend. See. Look how cute he is."
*Snip, snip, snip*
"He's….he's….burrowing. Into your skin."
"Well that's where he lives."
*Scratch, scratch*
"Does it hurt? Like...how many do you have in there?"
"I don't know. A lot, I guess. I gain more animals the bigger I grow, and the stronger I get, the more they are."
"Huh?
You Rainbows really are weird. Hiding something on your clothes, as well as under you skin.
Tell me, when you give us Magic, will we be just as powerful as you?"
"I'd doubt it."
"Don't be mean."
"You see Kris and Jake?"
"Yeah."
"Well...…"
"Oh."
"I mean, more is great; but at the end of the day, twenty Pennies does not equal one dollar.
Speaking of, I hate to ask, but I think Cc wanted more than just to treat you."
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing in life is free, Scarlet."
"You saying he wanted me for more than just my looks? A Kiss wasn't doing it for him?"
"I mean...nobody knows that I am a human generator, but it's kinda hard hiding who you are. You stick out way more than I do. Just…..watch your back. Animals are the new currency you know, and from all us Rainbows, you are the Queen."
"Ohh."
"......Maybe it's best I keep you away from Creepy Guy. Just for the time being."
"....Can we still get Ice Cream afterwards?"
*Thud*
"..........Hey, you guys made it. What kept you? Games about to start?"
"Some Creepy Guy wanted to entice Scarlett into his mouth."
"I thought you learned your lesson from the Wherewolves? Scarlett, we are the food. Nothing comes close."
"He didn't eat me. Just….made me an offer."
"With cherry ice cream on top."
"Why not entice Darius? He is a food vending machine."
"And he gives coins. Not takes."
"I would need to produce ten thousand crabs in order to match one Scarlett. Leave me to the Peasants, while the Hunters chase the true prey."
"Guys, guys; nobody is eating nobody; as long as I can help it."
"Elwin, they wouldn't eat us. Maybe take a leg, but the money is where it truly is at. They could live like Kings with our Hides."
"No, Scarlett. They'd live better than Kings."
"The sooner we are out of here, the better."
"If that is your wish, you need to figure out what Wherewolves and Bears have in common....and hurry."
