Our Story

I knew a boy, once... His name was Marvin, and he could always find things for me when I needed them, even when nobody else could. It was like they would call out to him from wherever they were, or maybe like he could tell where things would be from being able to see right through the person who lost them. I'm not sure. But it was definitely a talent! (Bunna)

Well, one time, Marvin just came across something and he didn't know who it belonged to. Usually his talent worked the other way around! So he tried to think of it in terms of a thing that had lost its person. He thought about what kind of person would have left their planner near a playground in the first place, and he looked at the next event scheduled in the planner. (Bunna)

It turned out it belonged to a young girl, named Susanna (Gwen), who was a servant. She had told her mistress of his tales and a few days later, an invitation to a ball came. He was unsure of how it would go, but attended. (Kanna)

Marvin was really nervous about attending the ball. He wasn't really used to doing 'grown-up' things, and this was most definitely one of those things. But he stifled the butterflies in his stomach, and walked through the open doors of the mansion.

There was a big group of people in the foyer, all seeming to talk to one person in particular, whom he could not yet see. He made his way to the middle of the group, and found that the person in the middle was none other than his friend Hubert! (Bunna)

Hubert and Marvin had been friends for a very long time, or at least comparatively - they were still very young, after all! But since Marvin started finding things for people, he hadn't seen Hubert lately. All the better, then, that he should be at the ball as well! But as Marvin approached him, he sensed that something was off about his friend. 'Oh, Marvin,' said Hubert, with a slight scowl, 'You've arrived. I'm sorry to say, there's nothing left for you to do here - nobody needs you now that I'm here, and can find anything that anyone has ever lost. Even faster than you can, in fact. So, yeah, see you later, buddy.' Marvin stood still, dazed, as people began to fill in front of him once more to surround his best friend Hubert. (Bunna)

Marvin started to feel exhausted after the first five people who asked for his assistance. Using his ability took a toll on him and with out a break would wear him down. Guests kept on coming and continued to seek his help. When he went for some water he was stopped by more people. about an hour or so later he had found the missing items and the moments the lights went out, Marvin collapsed. Not from exhaustion, but because Hubert whacked him on the back of the head with a silver tray. (Gwen)

When Marvin came to, (Gwen) he was surprised to find himself in his and Hubert's old treehouse. It was a secret location that only he and Hubert had known about, though it had been a while since their secret club had held its secret meetings there. Marvin began to suspect things were amiss. He made a lunge for the treehouse door. Accidentally knocking over the jar of their precious Pop Rocks stash and watching it fly in the opposite direction. Without fully realizing what he was doing, he pulled a midair 180 and followed suit. He caught the Pop Rocks in his arms and landed very ungracefully against the tree trunk in the corner of the room. At that moment, he heard a bolt slide into place - since when did their secret clubhouse have a lock on the door?! (Bunna)

Hubert had Marvin trapped in their treehouse, sure as anything. There may have been windows to climb out of, but really - who does that? So Marvin stayed to hear Hubert's evil villain speech all the way through, cackles and all. By the time Hubert had finally finished detailing his immense suffering and loneliness at the hands of his erstwhile best friend, Marvin had made it through most of the Pop Rocks. There was just one handful left. Without thinking, Marvin extended the jar to Hubert. Before realizing what he was doing, Hubert reached into the jar and jammed the rest of the Pop Rocks in his mouth.

Marvin realized that what he had just done was nothing short of ingenious. Hubert was one of those people who could not bear to open their mouth until the last Pop Rock had popped its final pop. He could now filibuster Hubert to his own heart's content, for the last handful of Pop Rocks had been a rather large one. Perhaps an hour passed, and maybe half an hour more, just to make sure there were no pops left that could possibly pop. By this point in time, it was very late at night. Hubert stopped Marvin midsentence and said, "Dude, seriously, I'm tired. I'm going home. Tomorrow, same place, same time?"

"Yeah, sure," said Marvin, "but can we be done with this whole 'archenemies' thing? It's getting a little old."

"Only if you bring more Pop Rocks,' Hubert said with a smirk as he slipped through the door."

"Sure," said Marvin. Then it hit him: "Hey, but you ate the last handful!" But there was nobody there to hear his cry. (Bunna)

The next day, Marvin and Hubert arrived at the tree house at the same time. Like promised, Marvin brought more pop rocks to refill the jar. The two boys hashed out their differences with a good old fashioned arm wrestling match.

"The best out of five wins" Hubert called as they sat at a table.

"Your on and going down too." taunted Marvin with a smirk.

The same smirk played at Hubert's lips an taunted back, "Oh so sure of yourself are you?"

With all the fun of talking smack and just have fun, the two forgot why all this started in the first place and put their differences aside. Calling a truce and becoming friends again, Hubert and Marvin relived a bit of their childhood and spent the day trying to best each other in different events.

Hubert and Marvin never fought again and the reason for the fight was stupid to begin with but all friends have fights. (Gwen)

[astroaries]

Whew! That was a tedious mission. You thank the Powers That Be for not drawing it on longer than it was. With your mind racked you make your way back to the building's lobby. Another toll hauntingly rings out from that disembodied bell. You hear a familiar rumble, as you turn to look in the sounds direction, you see the drape of the second drape in tatters. And the door behind; missing.


Sighing, you turn your attention to the giant oil lamp in the center. It had one less wick burning. The pink flame was gone. But the next brilliant one was orange.
