393. Kickboxing.

“Hmmm…” 

“What are you thinking about, Luke? You look pretty serious.” 

“Oh, earlier I was watching some kickboxing match on TV with Veigue, Tytree, Yuri, and Senel, and it seemed kind of cool so I was thinking about trying to learn some of their moves.” 

“Really?”

“Yeah! It’s actually pretty awesome!” 

“I can’t argue with that; I already know a bit but I can totally learn some more with you!” 

“Sounds like a plan!” 

“You two are officially morons.” 

“What are you talking about, Rita?” 

“Do you really not have any idea how dumb kickboxing looks?” 

“It looks…dumb?” 

“Of course! It’s just a bunch of guys beating the daylights out of each other! I mean a punch or kick or two is cool, but when your entire style is that and only that it gets old.”

“Wow, I never thought of it that way!” 

“Neither did I! Let’s just stick with our current styles, Luke.”

“I’m with you, Asbel!” 

“Does kickboxing really look that stupid…?”

“The only possible way of making it look more stupid is with Karol being the one attempting to use it.” 

“Wow…harsh…”

(Mod Note: Requested by mrvesperia101. Thanks for bearing with me guys, life is hectic, I’m sure you can understand. Expect really slow updates for a while.)

387. The Mask of Barona returns.

“I’m so dead; why did I eat Rita’s portion of that super-deluxe pizza? How can I make it up to her?” 

“What happened, Karol? You look really pale.”

“This is bad, Genis, I accidentally ate Rita’s portion of that super-deluxe pizza. She’s going to kill me if she doesn’t get to eat it or anything equivalent to that.” 

“Well I’m not too good at this stuff so…” 

“Oh come on, I need help!”

“No need to fear, my friends! In times of trouble, turn to me, the Mask of Barona!” 

“Whoa, who are you?!” 

“I am the Mask of Barona, of course. And I’ve heard that you’ve angered a girl to the point that she is likely to kill you?”

“Yeah, that’s exactly right! So help me!” 

“Do not worry, I have a solution.” 

“Isn’t that just Richard with a wrap around his head or something?” 

“Richard doesn’t talk like this; besides, this guy is way cooler!” 

(I can’t believe Karol fell for that so easily. I kind of feel bad and then again I don’t.)

“So what should I do, Mask of Barona?” 

“You need to get her what she wanted in the first place or something else that she wants.” 

“Like what? I have no idea of what to get her!” 

“Well tell me about what she likes then.” 

“She likes scientific stuff but there’s no way I can buy any of those things. But then again she really wanted this chemical mixer, the Chemix CMX3000, to mix chemicals faster. But it’s really expensive.” 

“Then the Chemix CMX3000 it is!” 

“WHAT?!”

“Take this money; it’s not a problem. Don’t see any need to pay me back.” 

“But that’s like 1,000,000 gald! Just how rich are you!?”

“Okay with that money I’ll be able to buy that for her; I’ll be on my way now!” 

“Wait, Karol! He’s gone. He was really dumb to fall for that disguise, King Richard.” 

“Yes I kno—I mean I have no idea what you’re talking about! It’s about time for me to take my leave; I bid you farewell!” 

“And he’s gone too just like that. Was Karol always this gullible?” 

“I just saw Richard running away from here in a hurry. Did I miss anything?” 

“Even you get it, Luke.” 

(Mod Note: Requested by Unknown)

379. Just no.

“He’s not going to agree, Guy.” 

“Sure he will!”

“This is Asch we’re talking about…” 

“When we tell him why, Luke, he’ll feel inclined to. There he is now. Asch!” 

“What do you want, Guy?” 

“The Moderator told Luke and me that we have to do the Caramel Dance.” 

“Not going to happen. No.” 

“Oh come on, don’t be such a—”

“There’s already enough blackmail on me, do you want me to die of embarrassment or something? I’m out of here.” 

“I told you this would happen.”

(Mod Note: Requested by ashesofthesacredflame.)

377. A ruined day.

“I can’t believe that something like this would happen…”

“Cheria…it’s alright…”

“No! It is NOT alright!”

“It was bound to happen, Cheria.” 

“It could have been helped.” 

“No it wasn’t…” 

“What even happened?” 

“Well there was supposed to be a huge picnic in the park today that Cheria was cooking for.” 

“And now it’s raining. Just our luck.” 

“If only we could solve this situation using fontech. Maybe we could create a contraption that would cover the entire park and  make it so the rain wouldn’t ruin the day and the picnic would be back on…” 

(Or we could move it somewhere else…)

(Mod Note: Requested by ashesofthesacredflame. And ChromaLuke thank you for pointing that out; the text color is now black.)

368. Shadowing a princess.

“Natalia, what’s wrong?” 

“You look a little nervous. Did something happen?” 

“Oh I’m sorry to have worried you both.” 

“It’s not a bother at all. But tell us what’s the matter.” 

“I noticed that Asbel was following me around today, that’s all. I just find that a little strange.” 

“Well that’s weird. I wonder why he’s following you?”

“You didn’t think of just asking him?” 

“Well no, but…” 

“Hey, Asbel!” 

“Hey, Luke. What do you need?” 

“Have you been following Natalia around?” 

“That’s what you called me over for? Well yeah, I have, but only because the Colonel told me that Natalia was in need of protection!”

“You should never listen to anything that he has to say.” 

(Mod Note: Which characters have I not been using lately? It’s difficult to keep up with about 70 characters running around causing trouble after all :3 and it would be great if you could request either skits involving different characters or open ended skits that allow me to select the characters. Thanks!)

350. The older model.

“Jade! Get back here!” 

“What did you do this time, Jade…?” 

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” 

“Well Luke has been running around all day yelling your name so I’m assuming that you did something.”

“Perhaps I did do something to bother him.” 

“I’m not sure if I even want to know what you did.” 

“Well if you so insist on knowing then I shall tell you!” 

“But I didn’t even—”

“I mentioned to Luke that it would be so fun if we had both the new Luke and the old Long Haired Luke running around which truly seemed to set him off.” 

“Seriously, Jade.” 

337. Mystic Artes.

“Next up we will work on our mystic artes. I shall use one of mine as an example.” 

“Dance like the damned…” 

“This should be good.” 

“What’s that, Yuri?” 

“Just listen to what Hubert says next. It sounds like he says ‘Instant Balls.’”

“Does he really?”

“I’ve never bothered to listen. Beats me.” 

“Instant Valse!” 

“Hey it did sound like that, Yuri!” 

“Told ya!” 

“Luke, what are you laughing at?” 

“Oh…uhm…” 

“You sound like you say Instant Balls when you’re doing your mystic arte, Hubert.” 

“I would never say such an inappropriate phrase!” 

“I didn’t know that you had it in you to say such a thing, Hubert.” 

“Maybe it’s because I do not say anything in that league!”

“What’s going on here? All I hear is a bunch of yelling!” 

“Hubert tends to say ‘Instant Balls’ whenever he performs his mystic arte, Cheria. A rather poor choice of words if you ask me.” 

“That’s disgusting, Hubert!” 

“Perhaps I should work on the annunciation and pronunciation of my words…”

“…I shall add this into my regular schedule at once.” 

(Mod Note: Requested by anonymous. Oh dear, this was an interesting one. I apologize about the blog’s slowness lately; I’ve been quite busy. Also, enter the groovy chat icons!)

335. The Amber Knight.

“Estelle are you really reading that book again? What’s this the fourth time?” 

“Actually it’s the fifth.” 

yuri_03.gif image by talesgifs

“It’s that good of a book that you can read it that many times without getting bored?” 

“Yes! The Amber Knight is such a marvelous character! I would love to meet someone like him in real life.”

“Sounds like you really like this Amber Knight.” 

“Of course I do!” 

“I can’t help but overhear your conversation. It appears to me that your Amber Knight story is quite similar to the story of Luke.” 

“Now that you mention it the stories are kinda similar!” 

“You might be right about that.” 

“So you’re saying that the Amber Knight in Estelle’s story is Guy?” 

“Of course. Lady Estelle you should inform Guy of this discovery as soon as you can. You should let his fans in on it as well.”

“If you think so…”

“Jade you’ve seriously gotta cut Guy a break.”

(Mod Note: Requested by xay-chi. Now that you mention it I’m pretty sure Guy is the Amber Knight from the Jade Planet!) 

329. Quite overprotective.

“No.”

“Oh come on, Tear!” 

“My answer is no, Raven! That’s final.” 

“But I really need a date to go out in town tonight! I told this girl I was with last week that I found someone else when she dumped me an’ I need to be believable!” 

“I’m not becoming a part of your lie.” 

“Is he causing you trouble, Tear?” 

“Er…um…”

luke_08.gif image by talesgifs

“Raven what are you doing to Tear?” 

“Nothin’!” 

“I don’t believe that! Ready Luke?” 

luke_08.gif image by talesgifs

“Yeah!” 

“I suppose it’s nice to have people who care about me…” 

328. Moneymaker.

“Hey, Mieu.” 

“Hello, master!” 

“I’ve been meaning to ask you if—”

“Well who’s this little guy, Luke?” 

“Oh that’s Mieu.” 

“Hello!” 

“I think the better question is what is he?”

“He’s a cheagle.” 

“The kids at the orphanage would love to see him sometime! But even better…”

“But what?” 

“I could make some money off of him! Just look at his face!” 

“You’ve got a point there, Rutee.” 

“Mieuuuuuu.” 

“I should’ve guessed.”
