007 [Video] / [Backdated to before boss battle]

[Eraqus's communicator switches on suddenly in the middle of the night, although this is due to Kura, his Hebby Repp. Apparently, there is some to-do going on in the room next to the bedroom...]

[Most of the large pile of Spirits are snoozing, all except for the newest, Shikara. The Flowbermeow is bouncing quickly around Chuza, trying to get the Meow Wow to wake up. Come on, what if master is having nightmares again? They should go check on him! Except Chuza, being the laziest Spirit on Mars herself, is fast asleep. She tries bouncing on Chuza, but no go.]

[Obviously, this requires extra hands. Shikara then proceeds to use that boundless energy to stir awake all the other Spirits she can find...Gengo, Jyunai, Soemon, the new adopted additions Ma-ti and Linka, and of course Kura is already up. Only Yaza is nowhere to be found. Shikara bounces around, sharing that excitement. Come on, guys! If we all jump, that will wake up Chuza! Then master will have two Meow Wows being all responsible!]

[At first, just Ma-ti joins in, rolling into Chuza. That does nothing, so Linka tries bouncing on her head. Still nothing. Eventually, Soemon and Gengo begin bouncing too, all while Jyunai just scolds them in the corner. However, with both a Kooma Panda and a Thunderaffe all stomping along with the others, it's enough weight and motion to shake the entire house. Chuza doesn't wake up...but Eraqus does, and he comes storming in a moment later.]

What in the worlds is going on here?!

[Every Spirit stops in place and looks up at him. Oops, caught red-pawed. He notices the light coming from the switched-on communicator, and just buries his face in one palm, looking exasperated.]

...wow. [gulp] I think I'm glad I only have the one.

[voice]

[hiptobe_eraqus]

Even one can be...a handful, depending on the kind. [He glances at Kura, who just turns about in a circle. Hey, this stomping wasn't his idea!]

[voice]

[battleborndr]

That's true. That's very true. [Especially when the darn things conspire with those of other people.]

[voice]

[hiptobe_eraqus]

I had hoped that keeping them in a separate room would help with quiet, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I can't much afford more space, though.

[voice]

[battleborndr]

Maybe you could try to put them on "sentry duty" or something outside. If they'd stay focused for that long...

[voice]

[hiptobe_eraqus]

[He glances this time at Shikara, who can't seem to keep still even now.] I'd say staying focused is the question. And I'd rather not one of them just wander off...

[voice]

[battleborndr]

I suppose you're in for more long days and nights, then... Unless you get a pet sitter or something. [He is DEFINITELY not volunteering.]

[voice]

[hiptobe_eraqus]

I figured some more proper training would help prevent this sort of thing from happening again. [Not that that always works. And no, he's not asking for a pet sitter.]
