La Blue Ranma: Shikima conversation [Episode 105530]

"Matter of fact, I ought to call up the others to pass along the good news." Biggus added with a grin as he turned back toward the desk.

"Gonna start with Dickless?" Cosplay responded with a grin.

Biggus paused, looked toward Cosplay and raised a hand with one finger extended. "Pupetmaster, Cosplay, Pupetmaster is his chosen code name. You don't want him tricking you into the form and mind of a 6 year old girl again, do you?"

Cosplay flushed as his face twisted into a scowl. "That was a one time trick. I won't fall for it again." He said flatly.

"No, I don't expect you will." Biggus replied casually. "But, just for my sake, try to avoid giving Pupetmaster the incentive to try inventing some other trick."

"Feh," Cosplay muttered as he turned away.

'Rod and Vessel, how did I wind up in charge of this bunch of weirdo freaks?' Biggus thought to himself as he walked around the desk and dropped into the chair. 'Well, ok, it's because I'm a weirdo freak myself.' Still, while most other Shikima had found his obsession with books worthy of ridicule, it was that very obsession that had led him to discover the lost Hentainomicon, and the key to reveal it's secrets. 'Indeed, if I didn't love books so much, I'd never be able to properly research or transcribe those secrets.'

His eyes flickered toward Cosplay. 'Well I'm not unique in being strange.' Shape changing was a basic ability that most Shikima could learn, but Cosplay was unique in how far he had pushed his mastery of the skill. Biggus shook his head as he recalled the huge smile on the Shikima's face as he performed the ritual from the Hentainomicon. 'He likes taking other shapes so much that he happily sacrificed his original body for improved shapeshifting ability.'

Turning his head back to his desk he picked up the phone, and took a deep breath. 'He can hear me shudder so I'll get that over with now.' he though as he briefly let horror and revulsion wash over him as he though of Pupetmaster. The Shikima who now called himself Pupetmaster was the victim of a human world sorcerer who had summoned him to steal his main organ for some purpose. The now crippled Shikima had survived only through his desire for revenge, and later his hope that the Hentainomicon held the secrets to restore his lost organ. 'Well, I've already found one spell to restore it, but with his manipulation tricks, he's getting enough energy to afford to wait while I research a better one.'

A press of one of the speed-dial button and the phone was ringing. A moment later there was a click as it was answered.

"Yes," a voice empty of emotion stated.

"Greetings Pupetmaster. Our plan to bug the Princess's apartment has met with total success." Biggus explained with a grin.

"I see. That's good." There was a click as the phone disconnected.

Biggus sighed. "Well he wouldn't have come over to help thank Sayoko anyway." He hit the off button on the phone, then pressed a different speed-dial button.

"Bonjourno," proclaimed a voice in a very fake Italian accent.

'I didn't know what an Italian accent was when I came to this world, and I still knew that accent was off when I heard it. "Greetings Don Gio," Biggus said as he rolled his eyes.

"Ah! Don Biggus! I am so pleased to hear from you my friend!" he proclaimed excitedly.

"Ah, yes. . . Good to talk to you Don Gio. I just wanted to let you know that Cosplay's mission has succeeded, and the surveillance camera's are in place."

"Wonderful Don Biggus! We must meet to celebrate. . . Soon though, I. . ."

"Another ugly duckling?" Biggus asked with a sigh.

Don Gio chuckled. "I am sorry you cannot properly appreciate the joy of finding hidden beauty and coaxing it to grow and blossom."
