Third Resurrection - Stretching...well...everything.

[So, it's been over a fortnight since Jono has been able to speak, walk on two legs,, or really do anything human. Folks on Route C probably didn't notice, but there was a seal gamboling about the beaches with red eyes, which naturally, was Jono. Now that he's been returned to his humanity, he's made a beeline straight to the Music Room, having had the maddening itch to play guitar for at least two weeks now. Anyone who stops by will see him surrounded by a small garrison of identical energy clones, each bearing a music instrument of some sort.]

Oi, Chopper. Remember me, mate? I's yer pal Jono. I've been doin' some thinkin' on what y'said a while back, about superheroes needin' a theme song o' some sort. Well, I've been workin' on one a while now, so I figured I'd share it with ya.

[Jono instructs his clones to gather in a loose stage-style setting, and they proceed to play this song, with one lonely clone off in the corner manning the bell, another waiting patiently with a flamenco guitar in his lap. After they finish that song, Jono nods, and the immediately launch into another, Jono's face -and by extension the faces of the clones- bears a rather dour expression. Finally, they play this song, sans lyrics.]

Oi, I've got a favor t'ask ya, if you've got a minute. I'll be down in the Danger Room out on the castle grounds.

If anyone needs me, I'mna be down in the Danger Room. While you were all sunnin' yerselves or bein' shot at, I was stuck on the beach as a bloody seal. I need some exercise.

[Indeed, some time later, Jono can be found in the Danger Room, blasting away at simulated robots with his tech, doing a much better job of not being knocked out, thanks to the hard light shield that's surrounding his body. Have at him!]

[have some loud fumbling around as Chopper tries to find out where his journal is in his now rather trashed-up room-- ohp, there it is! opening it!]

Wh-what? Jono? What happened? Theme song? Aah, everything's so messy...

Chopper

[decibel-chamber.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I noticed that too. Good thing's my room's usually a thrashed up mess, so not much was different. Still pretty pissed 'bout them takin' me stuff though. Had some things someone gave me that I'd like back.

Anyway, we spoke a few months back, I pulled y'outta th' duck pong when y'firs' showed up. Back then I was basically a walkin' band-aid with a great bloody fire in 'is chest. I went home fer a li'l bit, an' now'm different. I remember mentioning me line o' work, savin' people, an' you got all excited 'cause I'm basically a superhero. Y'told me I should have a theme song, so I wrote one.

[He chuckles.]

Oh my GOD, what was that one in the middle? That was fucking amazing.

I's a li'l somethin' I was workin' on while th' rest o' the seals were busy frolickin' an' otherwise bein' useless. Wrote it fer someone who left here not long ago, a friend o' mine I was...uhh...we had sort of an unsettled relationship, y'might say.

Based it on th' style o' a band called Apocalyptica. Bunch o' Nordic blokes who somehow make playin' th' cello cool. [He laughs.]

[She's trying SO HARD not to laugh, man.]

A seal. Really.

I know, right? Mighta had t'do with th' fact that up until we all got taken t' bloody Pirates o' th' Caribbean, I was on a loss. I'd been a dog fer th' past fortnight or so previous, so there I was.

A seal? [She might sound more amused than she should. Sorry about that.] You almost sound as if you would have preferred to have been shot at.

I know i's crazy, but I'll tell ya what; I was bored. This whole "hero" gig I've been on's affected me brain, I think. I'd've rather been out there helpin' folks than bein' stuck on a beach with naught t'do but horse around an' fish. I'll never eat another bloody smelt as long as I live, I swear.

S'where were you when all o' this was happenin'? I wasn' able t'keep track o' people real well, couldn' get too far from th' water, y'see.

[walkinthruwalls]

A seal? There was me thinking that you were still a dog but in the castle.

[decibel-chamber.livejournal.com]

Yup. Guess th' castle decided I needed t'fit th' decor, rather'n lettin' me be human again. I was so bored.

[loisfuckinglane.livejournal.com]

At least nothing tried to eat you. I hope.

[decibel-chamber.livejournal.com]

Nope, I was stuck on an island on th' "easy" route I guess. All I had t'worry about were other seals gettin' frisky. Kinda borin' if y'ask me.

[Since he disbanded the team, and with all the pirates shit going on, Logan hasn't been out here for a little bit, so he'll make his way. After all, he's gotta talk to Jono about Kitty's ridiculous idea. That'll be fun. Logan ignores the lights that say the Danger Room is currently being used, and opens the doors anyways, overriding the usual warnings about walking into a sim into the middle of the program. His claws come out immediately as the doors slide shut behind him and he glances around for Jono. It's easy enough to find him, seeing as how he's being relentlessly assaulted by a robot swarm. One flying drone breaks away from the herd to head for Logan, but he impales it mid-flight and slams its body down into the ground.]

You call this a fair fight?

[decibel-chamber.livejournal.com]

[Jono drops his shield at Logan's voice, switching over to his sonics as he directs a blast toward one of the larger swarms, causing the whole group to short out and fall to the ground. When one closes in on him, he wills a foot-long blade to form on his arm, impaling the robot with a grunt of effort. He then turns to face his "teacher".]

Not terribly, but tha's th' whole point. Only way I'mna get any better's if I challenge meself.

[He palms a web cartridge from the backup container on his wrist, and tosses it at anotheer group of the robots, encasing the lot of them in a thick, sticky layer of spider's webbing, which he then proceeds to chop up using the energy blade on his arm.]

You weren't anywhere I thought you'd gone and I can't remember how squggles work and I know they're things but sometimes my head is to little to wrap around them all tiny and you're okay, right, because you weren't anywhere!

[decibel-chamber.livejournal.com]

I know, I'm sorry luv. Remember when I was a dog? When we all had t'play pirate, I got turned into a seal instead, floppin' 'round on th' beach an' bein' useless.

But'm back t'normal now, so all's well. I missed ya, Del.
