However, Tanya had three things going against her for her stay at Rook’s castle.
First off, while the bed was actually pretty decent, even if the mattress was a little hard. She also didn’t appreciate the fact that the damn thing was actually a bed of nails underneath when one removed the mattress. And worse, the pillows were lumpy!
Second, all the moaning that went about in the castle. Damn, she should have expected this, she guessed. The whole place was filled with undead, or as Rook had put it, “Nine hundred and ninety-nine happy haunts”.
And the third and most important reason... That god damned ‘time of the month’ kept Tanya from getting much sleep! The bloated feeling would really get in the way, and Tanya preferred to sleep on her stomach. It was just too uncomfortable to get in her favorite position. And the fact that she bled AGAIN was the reason she woke up THIS early.
Sighing, Tanya hoped to pass the time by walking around, exploring the castle until breakfast, (or what was a passing resemblance of breakfast for the undead). The Kryn was more than a little relieved that the undead perverts that were giving her problems the other day finally got some sense into their bleached and/or rotted skulls and were finally giving her some room... Even if they still gave her lewd stares.
“Sigh... Stupid menstrual cycle,” Tanya growled as she continued to walk through the castle. She idly noticed that small pudgy chicken run out of her way, but didn’t do anything about it. She was in too much pain to even fire off a fireball worthy of a lighter. “Oh God, do I wish this pain on men.”
Sighing, Tanya went out a door, which lead into the courtyard. The area was pretty bare, but she could look up at the sky. It was still dark out, but not night anymore, a slight glow of light on the horizon. The sun should be fully raised soon. “And then I can try to talk to someone and-”
Tanya was taken out of her thoughts as a form crashed through the wall. She shrieked as it landed right in front of her. Her hand on her chest, Tanya was breathing heavily. Just what the hell was going on?
The form at Tanya’s feet let out an audible groan as it stood up. Tanya blinked her eyes once, twice, thrice, and then she realized that it was the familiar armored figure of Rook, but two things were very off about his appearance.
First of all, his chest-plate. The thing was practically caved in to the point that it would have killed someone alive. Also, the fact that the indentation certainly looked like a fist was not lost on the former Kryn priestess either.
Second... THE GUY’S HEAD WAS ON FUCKING BACKWARDS!!!
With a grunt, the form of Rook got back onto its feat unsteadily. Rook’s hands went up to it’s heads and starts to pull, turning it’s head back into place.
Her eyes shut tightly as Tanya winced due to the audible wet snap as Rook’s head realigned with the rest of his spine.
Grunting, Rook moved his head back and forth, making a series of unpleasant cracking noises. “Damn. I didn’t know I could feel pain like this again,” Rook mumbled to himself. He was about to head out to go tell the other what he saw, when he realized he wouldn’t have to go far.
“Excuse me,” Tanya spoke up, after finding her voice. “What the hell just happened?”
Smiling underneath his mask, Rook had to suppress the urge to chuckle out loud. “Oh, nothing much,” Rook said nonchalantly. “Just walked in on Ranma and G’nolga.”
Rolling her eyes, Tanya asked, “They’re still fighting?”
“Nah,” Rook said. “They had just finished...”
“Oh good,” Tanya said in relief. She would have hated for Ranma to get hurt, after all, she really liked the guy didn’t want the idiot slowing them down.
“...Fucking each other’s brains out,” Rook added hastily.
The process went through Tanya’s mind. She didn’t take her eyes off of Rook. “WHAT!?” She all but screamed.
Rook continued to smile underneath his mask. Yes, this was going to be fun. “Damn right! The dwarf took the wild horse for a ride!” He chuckled. “I just knew she ‘ate’ horses.”
Rook had to suppress a roar of laughter as he saw Tanya skulk past him and storm back into the castle. Yay! This was going to be such fun!
“But first,” Rook mumbled, still smiling. “Who else should I tell this to?”
And so, Rook went limping off to spread the news of the nookie between Ranma and G’nolga.
