pico:alright*puts all the food he needs on his plate and starts eating*

Ann: *goes to town on the turkey*
Doc:*smiles*(good thing this is just one meal. If Shadowblade hadn't donated the rest what we made last night to the public, these 2 would probally have eaten it all.) So pico I noticed your wearing a Tux. care to explain?

pico:*smiles* mia and i had a date last night we went to some weird maze place

Doc:Ah “The Forest Maze” I hear its competing for the #1 spot in Zot for a restaurant.
*a knock is heard*
come in.
Mia: pico! *hugs him* Happy Thanksgiving!

pico:*smiles* happy thanksgiving *smirks* so did you survive thenight without me?

Mia: course. though I had to wonder if you were ok.*looks over* is that Ann? I mean without the serum?
Ann:*giggles* yep.
Mia: I must say she looks diffrent
Ann:…hey you look diffrent too.
Jasmine:*materializes* well of couse they do I just did what they askd*hugs pico* and how has your day been?

pico:*remembers anns kisses and hugs*in a word..interesting

Jasmine: I'm glad to hear. *sits down with Mia* So you've done your 12 days of training. I take it now your going to relax?
Pico:…I belive so. how did you know?
Jasmine: you talk in your sleep sometimes.
Pico: oh…
*after dinner*
Ann: that was delishous doc.
Doc:what can I say? so what's all on today's agenda for you 3?

pico:good question hmm ive promised to relax so i guess ill just do whatever

Ann:hmm why don't we go swimming later? There's a secret spring down in the basement Doc told me about.
Mia: well what about now?
Ann:hmm*looks out the window and sees a few flakes fall*well, it looks like its going to snow soon why not just go out and have fun?

pico:*smiles* sure why not?*later after putting on winter clothes* mia:yahoo!!*is makeing snow angels until..POOF a snowball hits mias face* pico:*blows a rasberry then runs away being chased*

- Over at Dimension S… -

Snow: Guess now I tought you nearly everything I know, honey. You will rock the tournament!
Val: It still makes me a bit sad that you won't participate.
Snow: To assault your foe despite the odds being against you, is courage. To assault your foe although being vastly outgunned, is insanity. To know when to put down your weapon and leave the stage to those who can live up to the standards, is wisdom. I'd rather be considered wise than insane, may it be true or not.
Val: *giggles* You're my wise, darling. *she pecks him on the nose* Still, nearly everything does wake my curiosity. What are you still hiding from me, huh? *she takes him in armlock before he can evade*
Snow: *tries to struggle for a moment, then stops* You know that this is embarrassing, yes?
Val: Relax, it's not like anyone's around to witness your humiliation.
Snow: *smirks* Ow. That was my pride.
Val: I wonder how much time there's still left. It's still all the way impossible to track the days here.
Snow: Good question. Still, they won't start without you. shadowblade will remember we're still here when you don't show up for your first match the latest.
Val: You're right, nothing to worry about. *they remain like this for a moment, he still in her armlock* … So?
Snow: *sigh* There's still something I didn't teach you yet. And that is for good reasons. It's nothing to be used in a tournament, among friends. It's not to be used at all, except for real enemies. Besides, you're fair chance either way now. You've surpassed me long before we even entered this dimension.

Ann: *tosses a snowball at pico* gotcha!*runs as he chases her*
*Over in the office…*
SB:I best go check up on snow and Val. …perhaps even invite them to dinner.*one portal later* in front of the igloo* knock knock anyone home?

pico:*sees a patch of grass and has idea* *puts hand on grass changeing it into a flower*(yes it worked!) *teleports in front of mia and gives herthe flower* a pretty flower for my pretty girlfriend*winks*

Mia:*takes the flower and giggles* and for you*kisses him and pushes him into the snow falling over top of him* a pretty girl to go with a cute boy.
Pico:*face turns red*
*in another part of the field*
Ann:*finishing a snow sculpture*…done what do you tink Jasmine?
Jasmine:I think it looks great… who is it supposed to be?
Ann:pico when he smiles.
Jasmine:*chuckles* I see…is it alright if I add a little to it?
Ann: sure. I'll go get pico.*heads off*

Val: That's not- *hears the knocking* … That cheese isn't eaten yet. *goes outside* Hello? Oh, shadowblade! Is it time for the tournament already?

*pico and mia stare into each others eyes moving closer for a warm kiss…that is until*Ann:hey pico come and look at this! pico:*eyebrow twitches* come on lets see what she wants demonic pico:(to bad it was getting hot to) pico:(..are those my thoughts or your own?..cause if so bugger off)

SB:no, not yet. that's going to be in 2 days.
Val: well, if I may ask, what do you want?
SB: well I was wondering if you 2 would like to come to dinner?
Val:hold on,*enters the house* its Shadowblade. he's inviting us to dinner.
*over in the fields*
Ann:ta-da! what do you think of my snow sculpture, pico?

pico:*tries to copy the pose as well the smile* i have to say this is impressive Ann…infact*takes a few pics with phone* its very authentic

*the sculptre kiss pecks pico on the nose*
Pico:wh-what the?
Jasmine:*slowly materiallizes* I thought hiding a part of me in there would be funny. were you surprised?
Pico: very.
Jasmine: anyway your photos gave me an idea. scooth together around the snow pico everyone.*takes a few snapshots* well how did I do?

Snow: … Why do I sense something bad approaching? Like his tries to convince me to go back in on the tourney. Or his consultation of our opinions about his ideas on making Zot public. Or what not.
Val: *snicker* Heh, doomsayer. C'mon, it'd be unpolite to say no.
Snow: I wasn't going to, don't worry.

pico:you did great jazz jasmine:jazz? pico:i thought it be a cool nickname you dont like it?

Ink: the tourney issoon; any predictions Torvek?
Torvek: you meanbesides oh gods, oh gods the horror. Why iseverything on fire?
Ink: thats a bitextreme. Shadowblade and his generalswill handle it.
Torvek:
Ink: okay, you havea point. Zot itself is a clusterf*** ofunstable dimensional membranes due to the over-use of portals and dangerouslyfull of residual arcane energies due to reckless mages; not to mention thatnearly all of the combatants and staff are of apocalyptic strength and carelessof it.
Torvek: so are yougoing to do something about this?
Ink: nah, Im justgoing to send one of my minions to referee and handle damage control. *pauses as through the conversationsover. After a few minuites, headds* I meant you.
Torvek: are you ser- *finds himself outside Zot in the snow withPico and others nearby* -rious. *addresses the sky.* is this because I had you murder thewerewolf and the doctor? They had itcoming and you know it. Gods arent supposedto hold a grudge.

Val:*heads outside* we'll come.
SB: great*one portal later to a average dining room* Alright here we are. *opens the main dinner plate to reveal a marvolus carved bird*
Val:…you celebrate Thanksgiving?
SB: well technically yes, but the reasoning is diffrent. Ratehr than the usual its “Tradition and stuff” I concider you guys part of my huge family and am thankful you've both became members.
Jasmine:well it seems more appropriate for a male, but if you like it I'll accept it.*looks over* Master, who is that?

pico:*ears perk up as he senses somthing*oh crap torvek!*gets into a battle stance* i know your here show yourself!

Jasmine: master he's right behind you.
Pico:*turns around*oh.what do you want?
Torvek:…and you are?

pico:pico stone the aura gaurdian…

Torvek:well pico know this, I am not here to fight. rather *sigh* by the holy power if Ink! I have come to reffere the tourny coming up. I honestly I would say its a privilage in doing this however, it feels like karma, even though I did nothing wrong.

pico:oh…well good…i think

(SB I know that controling other people characters can really speed up an RP, but I don't apreciate it. I don't mean to be rude, but please don't type for my characters. thanks)

Torvek: ah, you weretaller last time. What happened to you; yourvoice sounds like your balls havent dropped yet. Never mind. If I was here to fight you, youd already be dead or dying. My newmaster, in is nigh infinite wisdom has decided that Zot needs someone tosupervise your tournament. Unfortunatelyme. Now, if you would care to put yourlittle fists down I promise to get you a lollypop when this is all over.
