Plan; Irnzenmonk: WednesDAYHEM
Merry Christmas Eve Everyone!

And with this favorite near-holiday announcement, comes your next chapter! Ain't I a nice guy?

Now, here's the votes, and oh BOY, are they fun ones.

[X] Try to Train Something (Costs 2 Action)
-Train Chi Control

-YULE TIDE INTERRUPT!
-WUYA INTERRUPT!


Let's watch, shall we?


You were ready for today. You felt restored, you got closer to an old friend, had lots of pudding, and were feeling up to do something you probably wouldn't otherwise.

Exercise. *Shudder*

Yes, the mere word felt dirty. But you had to be better, if you were going to trot the globe and beat things like Super-Monks and any other insanity that could be thrown at you.

So here you were stretching, and preparing to bench press as much as you could with your three arms and two Bots to make sure nothing went wrong.

At least, that was the PLAN, before something you couldn't possibly predict happened.

The basement window of your Lab, that was made of a combination of Ballistic fibers and diamond netting, was kicked in, and before you could even comprehend how THAT happened, a figure slipped in through the narrow gap, and came to a stop before you, rising to its feet to reveal a person both wider, and more muscular than a figure had any right to be, given the amount of fat around its belly.

Still, as the figure let out a laugh, finally stepped into the light fully, having somehow been hiding his face before. As you got a good look, you only thought one thing.

'Holy shit, Santa's a Hell's Angel.'

"HA! HA! HA!"



As the sheer fact that a SANTA just broke into you SECRET LAB, words returned quickly. You felt that you were getting better with that.

"Why the hell are you in my house in November?" Damn it, you meant to ask him how he got on the property in the first place, but the other question was at the forefront of your brain. Damn your lack of attention span.

Santa? only laughed again.

"HA! HA! HA! GOOD RESPONSE YOUNG JACK-ASS! BUT I'M NOT SANTA! I'M EVIL SANTA! I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT YOU'VE BEEN A NAUGHTY BOY, AND TO WISH YOU A MERRY X-MAS!" As he said, or more so bellowed this at you, he raised his previously unnoticed sack over his shoulder and gave you a thumbs out, drawing even more attention to his biceps that looked big enough to crush your skull, AND the fact that he was shirtless. Thank god his beard took up most of your attention.

"But...It's November." You shoot back, pointing a finger at the Claus in your Lab, while the Third-Arm Sash rose behind your head in a Question mark shaped curve.

That one was intentional, and it seemed Sa-EVIL Santa could tell as well, given as his grin only grew.

"HA! Has nobody told you anything, young Jack-Ass? X-Mas is the time of year when all the Evil little Boys and Girls of the World are rewarded for their mayhem and mischief! NOTHING like that goody two-shoes brother of mine who coasts off that old pagan holiday the Saxons stole!" Evil Santa lectured as he took a half seat on the massive sack he was carrying.

You felt you eye twitch, for a variety of reason from that last sentence and a half. But still...

"Could you, maybe, I don't know, NOT call me Jack-Ass?" You said through thinly gritted teeth.

The answer was so abrupt that it both infuriated and slightly amused you

"NEVER! HA! HA! HA!"

"You know, you're kind of a prick, Evil Santa."

"Why THANK YOU, Jack-Ass! You're getting into the X-Mas spirit already! But that reminds me, I have OTHER Bastards to reward this day, so take you Gift, and continue to do your Best for Badness! Ha! HA! HAAA!" He finished with an almost war-cry of a laugh.

He then reached into his bag, and chucked something at your face before you could move out of the way.

"OW! YOU Bastard!" You cried out in pain as you were knocked to the floor, head thankfully protected by the Sash quickly cradling it and using its other two 'fingers' to hold you up.

As you tried to get back to your feet and make sure there was no concussion, you could only hear Evil Santa say his last words, each sounding farther away than the last.

"HA! THANK YOU JACK, AND A MERRY X-mas to you too! I'm sure I'll see you again, cause your Sister is HHHOOOOOOOTTTTT~!" He yelled from the distance, father away that any fat man should be able to move.

Wondering if the last few minutes had actually happened, and weren't some kind of hallucination, you stared dumbfounded at the small former window, before casting your view down to the blunt object that had knocked your block off. Seeing it...didn't really help you decide if this was really happening or not.



It... was a piece of coal cut into two pieces held together by a single piece of red and white string with a little tag that said 'For You'.

You could definitely see how it had knocked you down, feeling the weight of it in your hand, and the sheer speed it was thrown with. Still, it WAS a gift, supposedly, so, with a little bit of caution, you undid the string and removed the top half of the coal, mildly tensed in case it was a trap or something.

It... was a ring. It was a NICE ring, but you weren't really sure why it was given to you. Maybe it was special? Hmmm...



As you thought about your strange new ring, and your even stranger encounter, you began to try and figure out what to test the ring for.

As you were just about to dig the bottom of it from its carbony prison, you were startled for a moment by Wuya, who had just shot through the table you were standing at, eyes glowing with the now slightly familiar light of a new Wu being found.

"Jack! The Ring of The Nine Dragons has just awakened! We MUST... What the Ever-Burning Hell?" Wuya called out in her usual Wu-exorcism fit, before the lights in her eyes suddenly cut off, now locked onto the Ring in your hand. Well, the COAL with the Ring in your hand, but same difference.

Okay, so THAT was why the Ring was your gift...

THAT JUST RAISES MORE QUESTIONS!

Still, you had a millennia old Witch in your hands, AND the Internet, so maybe you could get some kind of answer?

END OF CHAPTER

[] Explain to Wuya How the Fuck.
-The more detail we give, the more we can recieve, or use for later when OTHER people eventually ask how the fuck.

OR

[] Ignore the Ghost and Search the Internets using our Mad Skillz.
- Search EVERY Google, Ask Jeeves, and Internet forum why the Fuck.
- What do you want to find out

OR

[] Do both with Partial results to both, best to find general information, and maybe what other shit is happening.

CHOOSE ONE

GAINED:

Ring of The Nine Dragons: When worn, the User can divide themselves and anything they wear, excluding certain Shen Gong Wu over a Power Limit, into two halves. What these halves ARE, is up the wielder. This split can be done up to 9 times per person, so long as EACH division is different from the last. Any more than 9 splits, and the User risks dividing themselves from Reality, to be Crushed due to the World no longer recognizing the lines of their Existence. A Powerful Wu, but one to use with caution.


END OF GAINS

And there we go. I hope you all enjoy it, and vote for what ever you think either makes the most sense, is funniest, or some combination of the two.

And I still want Fanart, or at least some more omakes. Since the incentive of Questions to be answered for them hasn't really gotten any bites, aside from Fox, I have decided to change it up.

NOW, with each omake someone does, they can vote to add a certain value to a roll for the next round that I will determine based on how much I like said omake. Doesn't matter if it's long, short, or even crackish, I love them all, and only want this thread to grow with us all.

Okay, with all that out of the way, I hope you all have a Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays!

I agree here, all things considered.

But for the stat points...

And for perks... If we're gonna diversify our stat spread, shore up our strengths with perks, so...

[X] Plan Inner Balance
-[X] Put 2 stat points on Strength.
-[X] Put 1 stat point on Intelligence.
-[X] Put 1 stat point on Wisdom.
-[X] Put 1 stat point on Speed.
-[X] Put 1 stat point on Luck.
-[X] Put 1 perk point on Robotics.
-[X] Put 1 perk point on Jet Pack and Goggles.
With the santa and stat bits already out in the open, let's talk plans for the future:

The Ring: We should probably try to split off a... We need a word for Training Ethic. The part of Jack who can be assed to train physically. We know it's there because we were just about to do it.

Maybe a Robotics Jack? But then what would regular Jack do? Programming? (Our Jackbots programming IS buggy as hell, so we should probably work on that.)

Too many divisions isn't a good idea, so maybe just one to start. Let's not Omi it up and leave ourselves a bunch of useless Jack's who can't do anything.

Hmmm, possible useful divisions (not all at once):
Training
Robotics
Programming
Curiosity? Research? Studiousness? (Something in that vein.)

Continuing in that vein, but related to something else we should probably look into: we have 0/10 MP, which I assume means magic, which means it's probably like our chi was when it was 0/#, so we need to unlock it and train it.

Because magitech robots. I don't think I need to elaborate further on that, honestly.

Magic Jack? Maybe. At first I'd want to be whole for that, but eventually, yeah, Artificer/Enchanter Jack. He can combo work with Robotics Jack.

Also, we should make a list of support Wu we NEVER take into the field with us. Ever.

Because they're useless in combat and priceless in downtime.

I suggest we add the RotND to that list, and the Changing Chopsticks if we get them.

And finally, we need to get the fuck out of the base as soon as possible because four kung fu demigods are after the ring we currently have in our hands and we need to get the FUCK out of dodge before they smash in the wall and we risk losing two Wu. They probably have the Eye of Dashi, which could be useful, but it's not worth the risk at the moment.
The Evil Within said:
[It also doesn't HAVE to be used on YOURSELF. So long as you hold it and say its name while having a dividing factor, it'll split SOMETHING. Think on that for a moment.]
Hmmm, we could divide a Jackbot, then customize the various divisions, then recombine them into CAPTAIN JACKBOT (BY MY POWERS COMBINED I AM-)

Or pretty much any device, potentially.
The Evil Within said:
[If you divided by for Training!Jack, the twowould become Tryhard!Jack and Lazy!Jack. And if you did Inventing!Jack, it would result in Smart!Jack, and Dumb!Jack, which is still pretty smart for a teenager.]
The second would be best for our purposes. Dumb!Jack can do the training and Smart!Jack can do the bots and shit.

Push ups, sit ups and plenty of juice don't require a phd.

I shall make clear before starting that anyone in the thread can chime in on future plans, it's better to have outlines discussed ahead of time rather than going by the seat of our pants.

That extends to anything I've already talked about.

Currently, we have three Wu, The Third Arm Sash, the Lasso Boa-Boa and (provided we don't lose it in a showdown because we got caught flatflooted by the oncoming monk train) the Ring of The Nine Dragons, the Lasso and Sash are straightforward, and the lasso is the most expendable of them.

The Ring has no real combat functionality, and is more of a liability in combat than anything.

However it has downtime benefits if used probably or combined with other Wu.

I wonder if we could use it on the sash and make a Fourth Arm-Sash? Test that later, when we don't need to deal with in house problems and flee with the Wu to keep it from being taken-

Actually, a Wu is trackable when it first awakens, but not permanently- when does that stop? Could we stop it by just activating it, thus claiming it and making it not up for grabs anymore? That should eliminate the need to flee from the monks.

We should ask Wuya, or hope it comes up in the oncoming conversation, since it's too late to change the votes.

I already covered the possible divisions of Jack, and the GM chimed in with a use of it that should work for our purposes.

We should test that "split Jackbot into multiple Jackbots, upgrade each a different way, then recombine them to see what the result is" thing later, that has potential, though we'd want to use that for elite bots instead of common Jackbots, cause that could get time consuming.

Hmm, actually, it might work better to build a Jackbot explicitly for this, in the sense of a Jackbot with no armor or devices, split it, then add stuff to each split, then recombine it, that way we don't end up with a pile of magically divided and useless metal sitting around. (Also eliminates the risk of the discarded parts being sucked into the hybrid design and messing it up.)

And then study the resultant chimaera's design principles, (I kinda want to know now if the resultant hybrid design would be mechanically functional or work entirely on magic fiat. Worth checking, could let us get a good look at hybridized multi function devices we could try to make without magic later.)

EDIT: Wait. Does The Ring require a Chi expenditure just when we split things or do we need to pay to recombine them to?

If we have to pay both ways, we have a maximum of Seven divisions we can reverse right after, or 8 irreversible ones that day (which kinda fits, IIRC, Jack only ever split himself 8 ways.)

1 Jackbot skeleton... The basic frame everything else is attached to, split that into 7...

They all need armor, all need the computation parts, and specialize each to a different role... 7 Jackbot varieties...

Melee, Ranged, Flight, High Speed, Agility, Scanning/Aim, Learning?

There were a few Melee builds, though they all sucked bar I think... I think there were ninja bots that were okay. Claws, Sawblades, Rams... I'd go with the claws, since they'd sync best with the other stuff.

The only Ranged build I remember were the ones with retractable machine guns (and, being evil robots, couldn't aim, hence the scanner bot thrown into the combo. AIMBOT.) Maybe try out lasers? Something that won't run out of ammo while still being fast enough to actually hit the shit we need to fight.

We have a working Flight build that should work fine, an extremely fast Jackbot shouldn't be very hard, neither should one that's focused on extreme aerial agility.

The Scanner specced Aimbot will be the hardest, because no evil genius, no matter how masterful, has ever been able to create a minion that can actually hit anything with any sort of ranged weapon, but we must try.

The last one will integrate the learning system we upgraded from Bob, being basically a thinking Jackbot. Install an armored blackbox so when it inevitably gets smashed we can retrieve some data from it, this Jackbot doesn't need much more than a pair of arms to combo well with the melee bot, so it shouldn't be hard to add the blackbox.

EDIT2: Or we could just do that, make 7 Hyper Learning Jackbots, then recombine them and look at the code that results, that might be pretty good to look at.

There are a few more small detail posts in the other thread as well, but this covers the important points.

I don't THINK this will be a problem... If I'm wrong, correct me.

Lots of things would be nice. Max smarts of what we can currently achieve. More wise. Actually brave. Have excellent reaction. Or enough strenght, to not be blown over by a breeze. ... We might consider luck too. Heroes win against villains, with a combination of wisdom, bravery and luck.

About perks. The short attention span and rushing are problems.

The rules on Flaw's mean I'd rather have relatively minor ones like that than get rid of them and shuffle the dice on a new one.

Jack's gonna have some flaws no matter what we do, might as well be minor ones.

As for stats... Yeah, I went for a decent spread, with two points in our dump stat, because it's currently so low the one time we got hit we almost died. Given we'll be fighting people with superhuman speed, being in the 'so weak one hit will kill you' range is pretty unacceptable.

One point to speed plus one point to Jet Pack and Goggles should shore that up decently for our level, depending on what leveling up the Jet Pack and Goggles perk does.

Our Int is so high and our level so low we can afford to put one or two points in it every level and still max it out in two to four levels and still fix some of our stat weaknesses, since we can't go past 40 with level up based Stat points.

And, honestly, of our flaws, I'd ping out Loneliness as our biggest obstacle, it makes us too desperate. Rushing isn't that bad and Short Attention Span isn't a problem since everything we're doing at the moment is pretty interesting.

We might be dealing with the family flaw slightly by ranking up with Kristen.

My problem with rushing is, that is one thing that can get someone killed, us or others. The short attention, is a problem for learning things and assessing situations. Sure rolling the dice can end badly, but it can also be somthing great. Like wrath, pride, jealousy and vengeancefulness etc. Those things can be played for ones benefit.
That said, we probably could get something out of rushing too. Maybe with more courage and an ability to think on the fly, we could become a rather daring character. We need to get into a hectic situation and get out of it using wisdom probably.

Courage is our second highest stat, at 17.

We're more brave than is actually warranted given our abilities. It's why I didn't put a point in it, on Courage, we're good for right now.

Short Attention Span only comes up if it's something Jack doesn't care about or is boring, the things we want right now are Robots and Superpowers and Magic and basically all of Jack's nerd dreams come to life, so that flaw isn't really going to come up for awhile.

Rushing has the potential to be beneficial if we're smart, since Shen Gong Wu hunts are basically capture the flag, only a draw results in a gambling death match, moving immediately is good, most of the time.

Once our speed is up, or we get Robotics to level 25, I'll probably start to push for pruning Flaws, Loneliness, then Rushing.

Maybe Chocoholic, if it becomes bothersome.

Though given how often it seems our 7 day plans get interrupted, we should probably organize tasks such that the most important/longterm ones happen first.
 
Time to Explain Santa to an Ancient Evil
And here we are again everyone. Took me a bit to get to this point, what with work taking its toll and my DnD game happening on Tuesdays, it's been a full week.

Now, here. We. Go.


As you stood there in your Lab, half a piece of coal and a priceless ring on your hand, you could already feel a headache growing.

Still, you reached over and finally pulled the Ring from its carbony prison, and took a moment to look it over in your hand.

It was a nice looking ring, with an almost obsidian coloured metal for its body, and its face being a circular yellow dragon design that looked to be eating itself at the center. All in all, pretty nice. But, that was for later.

Now, you had QUESTIONS.

"Hey Wuya. Do you know anybody named Evil Santa? Big guy, likes to bust into places, kinda terrifying, said it was 'Evil' Christmas?" You asked your Ghost friend as you kept looking over the ring.

You could tell she was waiting for a moment too comprehend the situation before her, but she did quick enough.

"Wait, Evil Sa- Ah, THAT Motherfucker." Wuya said with a tendril on her mask.

THAT got your attention.

"Wait, you ACTUALLY KNOW ABOUT HIM? ...And you know who Santa is?" You yelled shocked, before continuing as the thought rolled through your mind.

You felt the eyeroll as much as you saw it.

"Yes, Jack. You KNOW I heard the Dreams of those near my box, and around the Winter seasons, he tended to be a prominent figure. But, that is not all I know of 'Evil' Santa." Wuya explained.

Hearing this, you took a seat in front of the witch, and put the Ring on your Finger, focusing all attention on her.

"Haaaaahhhhh. Why must I teach you these basic things? What ever, very well, Apprentice." Wuya exasperated before beginning to lecture.

"Ages ago, there once was a man named Nicolas. He was a nice man from a humble village, always dressing in pelts and furs from his many hunts. And every night, he would give away whatever he didn't need, to whoever wished for it.

However... Nicolas was not ALWAYS a nice man. You see, nowadays, there are all KINDS of words and classifications to people. But back then, Nicolas was what was termed 'Crazy'.

You see, for every 'Good' deed Nicolas did, his 'Brother' did an 'Evil' one. Give a child a holiday meal? Steal a meal from a starving merchant. Hunt down the local wolf population? Let the foxes into the hen houses. So on and so forth this went for the years, until he came across the Ring you hold in your hand now."
At this, Wuya gestured to the Ring on your hand, startling you from your story induced stupor.

"Wait, what? What do you mean, until he had this Ring! WILL THIS SPLIT ME INTO GOOD AND EVIL JACK!?!" You cried out as you hastily tore the Ring from your finger. You thought it would let you breath fire or something!

"You're not far off from that, but not necessarily. You see, the Ring of the Nine Dragons, which you have now claimed by the way, allows the one wearing it to split themselves by whatever standard they wish, so long as they are equal. And when held by a man who was legitimately equally balanced between Good and Evil? The two practically leapt apart. becoming their own people. The immortality they share is just a by-product of the World not recognizing their original existence, and thus treating them as non-living objects, or at least long-lived ones. It's surprisingly more common than you would expect." Wuya almost seemed to tack on at the end.

As you felt your eye twitch at the thought of multiple immortals just running about, you felt your brain break a little more when you realized that you in fact, already knew four now... the same number of NON-immortal and un-related people you knew so far. The fuck.

"Okay, gonna ignore for a moment how LIVING FOREVER is apparently more common than it should be, lets get back to that little bit about splitting a person... also, I get that that was the 'Evil' side of Santa, but why did you call him a Motherfucker. And how did you know that slang insult? It's telling, but not THAT old." You spoke in order of importance, still waving the Ring around.

This time, Wuya looked over at you confused.

"THAT is what passes for an insult these days? Pah, weaklings. But no, I speak no falsehoods to you. I call him a Motherfucker because....well, I recall hearing him say 'If my brother can get Milk and Cookies from every little brat these days, I can get my MILF and Brandy!' or some such." Wuya said with a frighteningly accurate imitation of Evi-Nicolas' voice.

You... never wanted to remember those words again, so you pushed them from your head, and instead got up from your seat and started up the stairs, Ring in hand.

"I wonder if Kristen got anything...she IS pretty Evil." You said as you ignored Wuya's existence for a moment, purposefully walking through her for a moment to clear your head, and were on your way.

As you were about half way up the stairs, you felt Wuya's presence settle beside you, and you decided to move on.

"So, seriously, what's the deal with the Ring?"

And yet again, a chapter comes. Ain't you all lucky I keep my promises for more? Cause I am! But, with all that content out the way, let me explain some things.

There will be NO monks busting down our theoretical door again because as soon as we touched the Ring in the Coal, it became OURS, or rather the Heylin, hence why Wuya's Revealer Eyes cut off mid flip-out.

Next up, Evil Santa and Good Santa are both examples of the Ring being used to Insane effect, AND a yearly event. Though look out come December, cause we have NOT been a Good boy...

Well, ominous premonitions aside, that's all for now everyone! I look forward to seeing your votes, and for the next while, I'll be updating the stat sheet and whatnot! Until next time!

Yeah, especially because I'm pretty sure that's not how the ring works, based on talking with the gm in the SB thread.

And here we are once again. I'm sorry for the delay since the last one, but with my Grandparents visiting, and work being what it is, I just kept pushing this off. BUT NO MORE!... For now.

NOW, you all get Shenanigans. Aarik, I know this'll tear you up a little, but it only brings me more amusement.

Now, here's the, pun intended, splitting vote.

[X]Train!
-[X] The Ring of 9 Dragons: Try 3 Jacks for now, use the concept of ability. Try for the Jacks have these abilities ; Your Robotics, Your Gaming Expertise and Your Courage and have them train different things. Finish the Blueprints of Bob 2.0, Designing New Ideas and Training your body with Koga.

Now, let's watch the fireworks, eh?


"Hey! Kristen! Did you get a visit from a shockingly buff old guy!" You hollered as you crossed the top of the stairs, drawing the attention of the nearby staff. As you were about to repeat the words again, you felt a sharp grip make its way around your arm, and looked down.

Sure enough, attached to your arm was a grappling claw attached to a length of chain, with the launching mechanism being held by a grinning Kristen. It was a nice piece, a higher grade than the claws you usually used for your Bots, with pressure gripping additions to make sure that while it stuck firmly to what it caught in its grip, it didn't leave any signs of manhandling or damage. It was also a light purple color and had small 'claws' at the ends, thankfully all were held 'in' at the moment. Frankly, it was quite a nice piece of equipment, and you yourself would probably try and incorporate it into your Bot designs if you were willing to put a little more hands on effort with a few.

Still, you had bigger matters to address.

"Yep, Merry X-Mas Jacky! So glad to finally have you in one the festivities!" Kristen grinned as she retracted the claw, the chain feeding back into itself to be launched again.

"Oh good, I didn't just hallucinate that. Okay, world view broadened again, I guess." You muttered to yourself as Kristen made her way closer to you, wrapping an arm around your head and giving you a noogie.

You hated when she did that, but by this point, you could accept a little familial teasing. It felt... nice enough.

"Ha! Yeah, startled me something fierce when I first found out about Nega-Christmas. Nothing snaps you awake faster than seeing an old, buff guy leaving a Hello Kitty brand Bazooka in the middle of the night, before running headfirst out your 5th story window. Crazy day..." Kristen began to trail off as you just looked at her.

You were about to say something, but, remembering your own experience mere hours ago, you couldn't really find it in you to try and compare the two. They were both weird as fuck, in their own ways.

"Ooookay... So, I see you got a grappling claw, that's cool." You said as you escaped the headlock. Affection or not, that long a noogie was starting to mess with your already pretty messy hair. And a slight headache, but that was already disappearing.

"Hell yeah it is! With this, break-ins will be as easy as pouring a bowl of cream!~" Kristen sort of purred as she rubbed the mechanism against her cheek.

You just looked at her for a moment, eyes half lidded.

"I know you like puns and what-not, but c'mon. That was a stretch." You deadpanned.

At this, Kristen merely stopped caressing her gift and gave a shrug, before replying.

"Eh, they aren't all winners. But enough of that! Show me what you got! Show me, show me!" Kristen insisted as she began to shake you back and forth vigorously.

"O-o-okkka-aayyyyy! Ju-Just STOP SHAKING ME!" You finally got out as you grabbed hold of Kristen's arms, stopping the infernal shaking.

You took a moment to get yourself back in order, mostly consisting of flattening your hair back into relative place, and straitening your cloak, before finally pulling out the Ring from your inner pocket.

The second you did, you immediately regretted it.

As soon as it was out of your pocket, it was snatched away into Kristen's grip in a blur of motion you could barely register, much less react too.

Then, came the teasing.

"Oooo~! Jacky, I never knew you liked jewelry! Who knew that all this time we could have been trading tips and bling~!" Kristen snickered as she reached into her ever-present 'theivin' pouch and took out a jewelers tumbler.

"Oh, black jade with gold inlays, at least 10 carrot if I'm not mistaken. Nice, if a little weeaboo with the dragon design. In other words, perfect for you!" Kristen laughed as she put the tumbler away and tossed it back at you, prompting you to make a slight dive to catch the mystical item.

"Yeah, it's a nice ring, THANKS. Now, do you want to tease me more to make me react, or don't you want to try out your new toy?" You said as you got back to steady footing. Over the years, you had begun to finally figure out how to distract Kristen. Offer her two things she wanted to do, and then make one sound like a better investment, or a unique opportunity. More often than not, it worked, and the few times it didn't were usually over little things, like feeding her cats, or Sharpening her skills or knives, whichever she felt like more.

Either way, now seemed to be one of the times it worked, if the way her eyes seemed to develop a slight mischievous tint to them as she hefted her new 'Toy' back into view.

"You know, you're right Jacky-boy. What's X-Mas without playing with the new toys. If you need me, I'll be in Egypt. They always have a Cat-themed SOMETHING to steal..." With that, she walked away, even now muttering under her breath what she would need for her trip.

Ignoring how you were now accessory to a most likely major theft (If wouldn't be the first, nor likely the last) You let your eyes fall down to the Ring in your hand, and let a grin form on your face. Kristen was right, what harm could 'playing' with your new toy bring?

TIME SKIP: 12 Hours

Within your spacious foyer, rests an equally impressive answering machine, custom built by yourself to pick up locations, vocal recognition patterns to keep out telemarketers, and record any transmissions going both in and out for future use. That was why the...odd message caught the attention of the passing staff so quickly.

"Ah, hey Koga! Listen, I'm in a BIT of a jam and, HOLD ON YOU SPIRIT, I'M TRYING! Anyway, we're kind of in Japan right now, and ah, could use some help please? Oh, and bring snacks please! Okay, that sh-WAIT NO, DON'T TOUCH T-!"

The message cut off.

The nearest maid merely rubbed her head for a moment before going off to fetch the Ultimate Maid, wondering why the Young Master had finally Picked up the Spicer-family brand of Bullshittery.
