Meanwhile, Endymion was outside, trying to put out a small brush fire that she had started. Damn this magical loss of control! She'd just burst into flames again, setting the grass around her a-flame, and was proceeding to stamp it out, considering her water magic was on the fritz too. Hannah came floating after her, looking alarmed and exhausted. It was obvious that Endy had been trying to lose her. With one swift hand movement, she had put out the whole fire, drenching Endymion in the process. "Thank you Hannah," Endymion said slowly, smelling only a little better then a wet dog.
The smoke still wafted upward though.

"....wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake- ack!!!"
Isto's metal arm snatched up, lifting his younger...older... his brother by the scruff of the neck and depositing him on the floor. He then lifted the pillow and dropped it on top of Banda, before yawning and sitting up, only to scowl down at the brown SM.
Banda just smiled... and hopped back onto the couch, this time sitting beside the fifth stager. "I'm glad you're not dead. Where were you all night?"
The scowl vanished...and Isto laughed. He propped his feet up on the coffee table (because there IS one ;D), and moved his hand behind his head, shrugging. "That's for me to know, and you not to."

"That's rather rude." Remy said loudly, flopping down onto the floor beside Banda. "He's got a right to know, as acting older sibling, exactly where you were and what you were doing all last night. It's a privalege bestowed upon us that have... ahem... experience and age benefits, y'see." He spoke slowly, his head twisted towards Banda.
Mauli scooped up a hunk of cheese from the fridge, then her eyes went wide, slowly staring down at her stomach. Oh good lord... What if she ate it and... got fat?! She quickly stowed the cheese, grabbing a bottle of water and a bag of carrot sticks instead. You can't get chubby on vegetables, right?

The wet Endymino shook herself off, hair becoming quite spikey, this was not putting her in a good mood. Forgetting her situation, she attempted to conjure up a breeze with which to dry herself off. Much to her displeasure, it was a little more then a breeze and did a little more then dry her off. She found herself face-to-face with the main enterence door, but not without a rather loud thwack.
Hannah came floating after, looking quite worried.

Banda had only managed to catch a few of Remy's words, but from what he had seen, he agreed. Clearing his throat, he straightens to glare haughtily up at Isto. "I am your big brother, so you haveta tell me where you were!"
Again Isto laughs, then stands and heads for the door, pausing just inside. He glances back over his shoulder, grinning at the pair. "You really want to know?"
"Yeeeeeeeeeees...." Scowl.
"Ask Mauli." Isto winks, then opens the door and steps outside, heading out to the lake.

"Ask me what?" Mauli stuck her head out through the doorway again.
Remy had completely forgotten about Mauli, Banda and Isto... All he saw was the shining purple fur of Endy as Isto opened the door. He quickly scrambled over, stuttering as he offered her a paw. "M-miss! Are you alright?"
"Bloody 'ell...." Sighing, Mauli dropped her bag of carrots on the table, then bent down beside Banda. She patted him lightly on the head to get his attention, then began speaking slowly. "What did you need to ask me?"

Banda sighed... Isto was gone -again-, and now Remy had left to talk to that purple monkey who he didn't know... But Mauli was talking to him! And Isto said to ask Mauli! Turning to her, he tilted his head, smiling innocently. "Where was Isto all last night?"

Endymion's head wobbled around, as if racing the little birds and stars that circled around it before snapping back to reality. And what an abrupt snap it was. She looked at Remy and grabbed his paw, getting back onto her feet. "I suppose," she said, rubbing the back of her skull. She looked at Remy once again. "Hey, I remember you," she said recalling the chat that they had had, "Uhm...Remy, isn't it?" She said, a twinge (XD) of curiousity in her voice.

"Yeah, yeah! I'm Remy!" The teal SM beamed, his eyes twinkling. She remembered him! Okay, so it was a vague rememberance, but it was something! "And you're Endy! Are you sure you're alright?"
Mauli answered quickly, trying to head off the blush that was rising in her cheeks. "We... I mean, he... Er... He was with me! Yeah! And... we were beating up some shadow wolves! And... Isto beat two of them, mmhmm!" She nodded, rubbing at her eyes to distract herself. If not, she would have continued thinking through the events of yesterday, and lord knows it somehow would have slipped out.

The deaf SM fell silent, mouth hanging half open. But that didn't last long. He jumped to his feet and ran around Mauli, only to return to his perch infront of her, tapping on her foot. "Keep goin! What happened next?!?! How'd he beat 'em!?!? Were ya hurt!?!"

"Well....keep a fire extinguisher handy, I'm a bit defective today," she said as she began to wobble into the playroom, and if anyone turned on that jukebox, she'd have to deep-fry someone. She had an astounding headache. Hannah floated in, watching the two SM's. Endymion caught a quick glimpse of Mauli and, as to not be seen vulnerable, quickened her pace into the playroom.

"Defective? You? Never!" Remy exclaimed, following Endy into the playroom. If it had been a cartoon, there would have been tons of little hearts floating around his head. "You could never be defective, Endy!"
"Well, first off, i'd like to say that I completely saved Isto's butt." Mauli laughed, the bravado clearing the blush from her face. "He woulda drowned if I hadn't beaten back that giant squid! But, then again, he took on two, TWO, shadow wolves, so I suppose we're even. I killed one, and he killed one and got flipped into a lake by the other. Then, I jumped after him, and the squid got him! So I chopped off its arm, hauled him to shore, shoved on his stomach a bit and he threw up that water that was drowning him. So it's all good!" Man, what a cheesy ending. But she would rather have... NOT... revealed the truth.

"GIANT SQUID?!?" This was just gettnig better and better!!! How come HE never got to have any awesome adventures?? Banda watched in open mouthed awe as Mauli related the story, then immediately began questioning her once more. "So, you saved him!?! I didn't know Isto couldn't swim... I can swim! That squid wouldn'ta gotten me! No way, no how! Can I come next time???"

"Yup, I saved him. And Isto can swim... He'd just have to NOT have a giant squid wrapped around his arm." Mauli grinned, ruffling Banda's head-fur fondly. "I'll hafta ask yer mum, but i'm pretty sure she'd let you come. Maybe next time we can beat back a herd of shadow stallions! Fierce, vicious beasts, but nothing we can't handle, right?"
