Chapter 30 - Interlude Chapter: Rat's Many, Many Many... etc Stories

As the four began their walk to Desire's Domain, Rat began recounting a few of her many tales. She decided to recount the time she first got into the business of making Ratsticks.

On one lazy night of doing nothing, Rat had the sudden urge to mess with people, specifically Panila. And on this night, she began tinkering away on a few Heart imbued objects. It took her many attempts. She had occasionally dropped the sticks on her lap, resulting in a few varied outcomes. From changing her hair colour to becoming a literal rat. But the kept on trying until she eventually just ended up making thousands of sticks since, to her at least, they were rather easy to make.

Rat began getting bored again and hit herself with the stick she labelled Gender-Swap Stick. She began checking herself out in the mirror, flexing her muscles and snickering. "Damn. I look gooooood." She laughed, taking a few photos before bonking herself with it again to change back. But, like every project she worked on, she got side-tracked by meaningless things.

She still had to keep her goal in mind, Annoying Panila. So, she decided to create the ultimate stick, the "Powerless" Stick, a stick capable of muting one's heart to nothing. But, much to Rat's annoyance, and the good of the world, the effect only lasted about ten minutes.

So, on one of her usual nightly meetings with the other leaders, Rat jumped out from behind her Panila's chair and yelled: "Ratstick attack!" Before bonking Panila lightly over the head. All of the leaders couldn't help but snicker as Panila tried her hardest to summon a single chain and failing. It was one of the most humiliating experiences of the Warden's long life. Yet, Panila was many things, petty included. 

After she regained her strength, she grabbed Rat's signature stick, The Rat Stick, and turned Rat into a full, little rat. She kept her as a pet for a full 2 weeks before changing her back. To Rat, it was probably one of her better vacations.

"Why the hells did you tell us that?" Avis asked with a slight chirp like laugh as Vinea ate a chocolate bar.

"Cause. It was funny." She shrugged, crossing the street only to barely avoid getting hit by a car. 

Vinea shoved her out of the way, as Avis sighed, helping the two up. "Is this gonna be another one of your stories?" She asked with a smirk, only to be casually dismissed by Rat. "Birdie, I've almost died a few too many times... And technically died a few times too..." 

Everyone awkwardly looked at each other, but decided not to mention it as they didn't want Rat to feel uncomfortable... Well, that's what they all told themselves, when in reality they just didn't want to here another story. But their prayers went un answered as Rat began talking about her many different enemies. 

"There's The Knight, I stole his creepy nail thing. There was this white haired Rabbit girl who beat me up for saying she was just copying my hairstyle. Oh, there was this weird cat-goat-rabbit thing that tried fighting me in my dreams... I'm pretty sure she was Fey. Never trust the Fey."

Everyone just silently listened along to Rat's bizarre ramblings, not really questioning her anymore as they all just figured she was insane. After everyone had basically turned off their minds, Rat finished up another story. "And that's the story of how I came to be... A sh- Did... Did you guys really just zone out about my entire life story?" She sighed, laughing slightly with a grin. 

"Fair enough. I'm kinda plain anyway."
