Weirdo's pre-fight fic. Deep space. The Parallax. The little gods room. *shuts off screen* Weirdo: So, you wish to fight? Very well. It is an honorable batchall, and I must respond as such. *leaves the little gods room and enters the office proper* Bridge! Bridge Bunny #1: Yes, Star Commodore? Weirdo: Set up a secure link to Khan Jorgennson. I must speak with him immediately. Bridge Bunny #1: Aye, sir. Link established. Weirdo: Good. Over the speakers, a voice addresses Weirdo. Khan Jorgennson: What is it, Star Commodore? I am a busy man. Weirdo: My Khan, I have been issued a batchall by one Hoowee, dark elf, for a Trial of Grievance. Khan Jorgennson: The cause of this trial? Weirdo: Our stories bear an uncanny resemblance in titles, and she believes I took the name from her. In truth, it is coincidence, but that cannot be proven. She wants combat, and as a Ghost Bear, I cannot refuse. I request permission to take my ship to Terra, where I will answer the challenge with honorable combat. Khan Jorgennson: Very well. You may go. Uphold the Bear's honor, and return victorious. Weirdo: Yes, my Khan. Parallax out. Weirdo gets up and enters the bridge. Weirdo: Okay, crew, I have good news, and bad news. The bad news is that we are returning to Gourrigan's Island. Bridge Bunnies: NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Weirdo: The good news is that we are doing this in order to respond to a challenge to combat against myself, and so there will be a good fight. Also, we will be able to replenish our stores of Funky Fruit. Bridge Bunnies: WHOOOOHOOOO!!!!! Bridge Bunny #2: You will be bringing some Heavy Whoop-ass, quiaff? Weirdo: Aff. The freebirth will not know what hit her. BWUHAHAHA!!!!!! The rest of the bridge soon indulges in maniacal laughter as the Parallax prepares to jump. All: BWUHAHAHA!!!!!!! This is my response to Hoowee's challenge. Well bargained and done. Let none interfere in this.
