✪ Tricky! Soraoto takes lead! ✪ [Video/Text]

[loyal_cube]

[Suddenly there is a cheerful Cube on screen. He seems a bit more animated today when he speaks, and in a much perkier mood than he has recently.]

Hello, everyone!
It wasn't easy but I've finally prepared a space to start removing chips again!

Things will be a little different this time but for better! For right now, anyone wishing for their chip removed can do so without having to fill out any forms. It's great, don't you agree? I will ask that in place of the forms, that you bring something to trade, instead. It can be anything but I do prefer something gold, specially coins. If you don't have any gold, we can work something else out, okay?

And will my assistants please come see me? I have something for you! I'll be waiting around the hospital.

[Everything is repeated in text.]


((ooc: FYI Cube is being possessed by Soraoto, the demon who he summons from time to time. So, filling out Cube's chip form (or paying Soraoto) will do nothing right now (except maybe have Soraoto pull pranks on your character.) Cube will get back to chip removal requests when he actually regains control, in about a week. For questions or plotting, please contact me!
Action is welcome!))

Soraoto, my demon "friend," ...

[he begins to sound irritated more and more.]

Or should I say ex-friend since I've upset him numerous times. He prefers gold, of any kind. He is a powerful demon merchant who I've been asking to do small favors for far too long and have ignored his presence. He can only be summoned by me since the connection to the demon world have been severed here, for whatever reason.

Are you in the same city as me? Perhaps we can meet. We can talk about your chip removal better and I can show you where the procedure will take place.

((ooc: Is is okay for Soraoto to pull pranks and such on Jack?))

[loyal_cube]

Not much, just some clothing... and a hat.

[loyal_cube]

Oh, that's too bad. It would have been nice to hang out together. Play a game or two.

But we're talking now, perhaps you can tell a joke?

[video]

[fierybluebird]

I see. And what would he even do with the gold here?

[video]

[loyal_cube]

That's how the contract goes. Besides that, gold simply pleases him. He adores it and finds something charming about it.

I-I suppose.

[Was Cube talking..strangely? Maybe he was just tired, but the Cube he knew wouldn't ask for payment.]

Um...Cube? Are...are you okay?

[video]

[fierybluebird]

Are there any other shiny metals that are adequate? Once again, I don't think there is any gold here.

[loyal_cube]

I agree. It's a terrible position to be stuck in but a lovely lady like yourself shouldn't cry.

Are you in, uh, Spero? If so,I could remove that chip for you, if you'd like!

[shroomprincess.livejournal.com]

I am in Spero... is it hard to remove the chip? Could you really do it?

[Video]

[loyal_cube]

[Cheerfully kicking his feet off the side of the Spero hospital roof. This kid is one of the very few faces he remembers and he is rather happy to see the boy.]

I'm feeling great, Luke! Thanks for asking!

How about you? Working on any new puzzles today?

[video]

[loyal_cube]

I think there is... but I guess jewels of some sort might work.

There are some things that are worth gold, after all.

[loyal_cube]

It's difficult but can be done. I've done it numerous times before but the conditions were a little better.

Do you know how to get to the hospital, Miss? If not, I can meet you.

[Soraoto is only interested in anything gold you might be wearing, Peach.]

[shroomprincess.livejournal.com]

I... I just don't know... A chip in my body? Having it removed? I need some time to think this over.

[As she sniffles, she bends her head down to wipe her eyes. The crown on her head- solid gold, with jewels the size of eggs- shines as it catches the light. It is probably one of the most valuable items in Spero, if not all of this world.]

May I contact you if I decide to accept your offer?

[video]

[fierybluebird]

Sure, everything you can buy with gold has an equal value to some amount of gold, eh. But I'm not sure how much food and clothes a demon would want.

Would he be interested in porcelain? It's all the rage around here.

I'm still trying to solve a word scramble Kaito gave me a week or so back. There are an awful lot of letters..

[Does Luke look skeptical? Maybe a teensy bit.]

How come you want people to pay for getting their chips taken out now? [He tilts his head.] Do I need to pay for the two times you took care of me before? I don't have any money..or much of anything at all, really..

[satellitemecha.livejournal.com]

Um, I don't really know any jokes...

[loyal_cube]

Nothing at all?

That's horrible! Haven't you ever heard any?

[satellitemecha.livejournal.com]

Uh, maybe. I don't really remember, though.
{It's true, the only comic relief in 5Ds doesn't tell jokes, really.}

[loyal_cube]

[WHOA! That is a beautiful crown. Oh god. He wants it so much. He'd forgive Cube for all the trouble if he could just... have... that!!!]

Oh, of course! M-my name is Cube!! Don't hesitate to ask me about anything. I'm more than happy to assist.

[MEANWHILE HE WILL BEGIN FLYING AROUND TO LOOK FOR THAT CROWN. LOOK OUT!]

[video]

[loyal_cube]

["Cube" seems uninterested in what marco is proposing, even suggesting. His gaze changes as he looks away, sighing.]

I meant more in the way of company and having a good time. A laugh is worth so much more than porcelain.

[Video]

[loyal_cube]

Where did he get it? Maybe it's a trick!

Oh, I can only hold up supplies for so long and I'm in debt to Soraoto. You remember, my powerful friend with lots of hands? The one I don't summon very often? The one you gave a puzzle to?

[loyal_cube]

What do you do for a laugh?

You can laugh, right?

[shroomprincess.livejournal.com]

Thank you Cube. It's been nice to talk to you. I appreciate the information.

[She turns off her feed, wondering about the strange gleam that was in Cube's eyes, before she decides he just must be stressed...


...right?]

[Video]

[luke-triton.livejournal.com]

Kaito wouldn't trick me.

[Luke nods.]

I...I remember Mr. Soraoto..

[Definitely remember Soraoto, seeing as the demon had picked him up and stuck him to a table a few weeks back. Soraoto was someone Luke is not going to forget for a very long time.]
