mindcrackloveWhile I plan on writing MC saga now, I realized I still needed to finish the other story...so here's more of other story! Yaaaay!
Chapter 8
“I don't like this, I don't like this idea at all,” Etho said as he and Pause sat down at a small wooden table in the middle of Pause's deku tree. “He's dangerous, and every time we've pranked him, he comes and hits back three times as hard.”
“What, are you scared of a little pigman, Etho?” Pause said, laughingly.
Frowning at Pause, Etho shrugged slightly before turning away. “I wouldn't be surprised if his next prank had us strung up by our toes with signs laughing at us strewn around the place while he goes on a murder spree.”
Pause blinked at Etho. “Er, are you serious? I don't think he's a murderer. Just a bit zealous.”
“Drop it, drop it. I'm outvoted anyway, so we're helping Mhykol with his zombie pigman problem.” Looking around the room, Etho saw a small vase filled with lilacs. Licking his lips before turning towards Pause, he asked neutrally, “Where did you get those lilacs? I didn't know you liked flowers.”
Looking up from the table, confused, Pause stared at Etho before looking at what Etho was pointing at. “Oh those. I saw some outside. I thought flowers would be nice. Why, did you want to give them to someone?” Pause said with a smirk.
“No, just curious about..”Etho stopped as Beef came into the room. “Ah, Beef. What's the plan?”
Beef sat down at the table, handing Etho and Pause several packets of papers. “Well guys, as you know, we're going to help Mhykol get back at Zisteau. Yes Etho, I already know you don't want to,” Beef said as Etho started to protest.
“The basic plan is to move the entire village he's currently working on three blocks to the north. It's small enough to be subtle, and he'll still notice.” “That's an incredibly boring plan!” Pause interjected suddenly. Beef sighed quietly. “Then what's your plan, Pause?”
“We should cover everything in snow! Show him the true scourge of the north!” Pause said, clearly proud of himself.
“That's...actually not a terrible idea,” Etho said, staring at Pause.
“What's that suppose to me, actually not? Are you saying my ideas are usually terrible?” Pause said as he swatted at Etho. “No no man, I actually like the idea. Snowmen all over, well, pretend snowmen, snow, maybe ice? I like it.” Etho said, nodding at Pause as Beef agreed.
“Oh. Ok,” Pause said as he sat back in his chair for a moment, clearly thinking they were going to fight over the idea. “Wait, what about Mhykol? What's his part?”
Beef frowned, shaking his head slightly. “He's not going to take part, technically. He's paying us rather well, and should be talking to the two of you shortly about prices. This way Zisteau doesn't figure out the real culprit for awhile, and gives him more time to Zisteau proof his base.”
“You can't Zisteau proof your base,” Etho said as he looked over the papers. He's willing to do quite a lot to get back at Zisteau, hmmm...
“Fine, try and Zisteau proof his base, or at least mitigate damages. And recuperate. He told me what they did, he needs time to rest. Now is the best time to strike, when Zisteau is still trying to rest himself.” Beef said, trying to ignore Etho who was still complaining about pranking Zisteau.
Gathering the supplies necessary wasn't all that difficult, or even time consuming. Pause had stashed a rather copious amount of snow and ice, mumbling something about an unplanned prank from several months ago. The only problem would be figuring out when Zisteau was away. A decision was made to have Etho scout out Zisteau's sleep patterns. After much persuasion, Etho agreed to figure out when the zombie pigman slept.
Several sleepness nights of keeping track of the pigmens schedule made Etho very unhappy as he trekked quietly hither and forth invisibly keeping an eye on the pigmen. He actually had a very easy pattern once he saw it. The only problem is, as he was preparing to leave and tell Beef and Etho what had happened, he had gotten lax in his hiding.
Ok, have all my stuff with me still now to just check on Zisteau on more time. Wait...where did he...oh no. Etho heard an amused grunting coming from behind him, to find a smirking Zisteau point a sword in his general direction.
“I can't see you quite clearly there, but do know if you start moving about I'll just start slicing and dicing everything. I don't think you'd survive all that well.” Zisteau said, clearly amused.
Hmmmm
