Kids Like Us

[Pinocchio Black]

(January 15th. Afternoon. Closed to Pinocchio, Butters, and Ronno.)

Pinocchio sighed stretching his arms. He'd been released from the medical bay this morning. His injuries had been treated while he was captured so they didn't seem so bad. And Dr. Insano and the others had been able to heal his injuries through magic and science. He was now sitting in the living room relaxing. His parents had banned him from training yesterday telling him to take it easy since he just got back. So here was sitting in the living room bored. He heard Dark Nella and Ask That Guy both mention new recruits so he was wondering if there were any kids. It would be nice to play and talk with someone his own age.

[Ronno Black]

Ronno looked to Pinnochio in very slight scorn. He was supposed to be training while pinnochio was to "take it easy", Ronno didn't want to train today so he decided to hang around with the boy near him. Trotting over ronno replied "Ask Thatguy ever since I got here told me about you. So you're pinnochio right?"

Butters was doing fairly well getting aclimated to the household. While he was sort of used to weird and crazy adventures back at home, he still wasn't totally desenitized to some of the villain army, especially the large or magical ones. He had decided to continue to wear his Professor Choas costume a good amount of the time - it helped him blend in his mind. But as of that moment, he had the helmet off, as it was gettng itchy on his head.

When he headed into the livingroom, he immediately noticed the other kids. The blond boy didn't know there were other kids around. He assumed everyone was a big monster. Although he was surprized, he didn't hesitate when he headed over.

"Wow! I-I didn't know there were other kids around," Butters exclaimed, a goofy-looking grin appearing, "M' name's Butters."

Pinocchio looked up as a young deer walked in. He smiled glad to see someone his own age. It wasn't a person but he didn't mind. When the deer asked him a question he nodded.

"Yes. I'm Pinocchio. So you must be one of the new recruits Father told me about? You must be tough to be in this army. You fought in any battles yet?" said Pinocchio.

He turned seeing a kid walked in.

"Hello Butters. I'm Pinocchio. I didn't know there were other kids either. I guess you guys showed up while I was stuck as a prisoner in Critic's house. I stupidly thought I could defeat a dragon and was knocked out. Thankfully it was only 5 days before I was rescued. I didn't want to stay there any longer." said Pinocchio.

[Ronno Black]

"Butters? What kinda name is that? Sounds like something food the humans would eat" Ronno replied staring at Butters and laughing a bit before looking back to Pinnochio. Ronno then proudly showed Pinnochio his growing antlers "Well I wasn't in a battle yet but with these babies I'll soon beat those losers up. I heard the so-called great prince of the forest's son is on the other side. I'm gonna pound his face in" He then charged to a wall to impress the two other boys he was with

Butters' smile faded and he wired his fingers together.

"Wul, it's really more like a nick-name," He almost whispered, feeled dejected.

The blond-headed boy watched as the fawn rammed the wall. Golly, this little deer boy reminded Butters a small bit of Eric. Butters wasn't sure if that was a welcome reminder or not. He put his hands to his sides, feeling a burst of confidence.

"I haven't b-been in any battle yet. But I've got a little surprise for those g-good-for-nothing l-losers!" Butters said, rubbing his hands together and smirking maliciously; he was of course talking about his evil alter-ego, Professor Chaos, but he knew he had to keep his identity a secret for now.

[Ronno Black]

Ronno immediately bounced back to the boys, dizzy from the wall's rough surface. Ronno then sat down curious to Butters again, he even took the pleasure of staring right at him. Ronno smirked and replied "Well good luck with that butters. Then again, those idiots from mechakara or whatever his name is descriptions of the other side, I'm pretty sure they'll be the ones who need luck" He snorted in amusement "The critic is his name right? Nostalgia Critic? That doesn't even sound like a name. It sounds like a title for a event"

[Pinocchio Black]

Pinocchio smiled impressed with Ronno's antlers. When he ran into the wall it didn't look liked it hurt.

"That's cool. I'm sure you'll be great in the next battle. I wish I could go. I feel fine but they won't even let me practice." said Pinocchio.

Pinocchio sighed a bit. He was glad they cared but sometimes he thought they cared too much. He heard Ronno tease Butters but Butters seemed to take it alright. Pinocchio had been teased himself by Lampwick back on Pleasure Island but he'd gotten used to it. He turned hearing Butters mention a surprise.

"A surprise? That Sounds cool. Maybe I can go to watch the next fight if they won't let me fight in in." said Pinocchio.

He wished he'd still been big but Facilier's gift had worn off after Maleficent had hit him. He doubted Facilier would do it again. He wondered why Facilier had told him to be captured in the first place. He decided to ask him about that later.
