“Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeena!!”
“Oh, great. Just who I want to see.”
“Zelos, what do you want?”
“Can a beautiful, handsome, gorgeous man such as myself not visit his most favorite voluptuous banshee?”
“Oh, please, flattery will get you nowhere.”
“Well of course! See, I’m even getting somewhere with you!”
“Wait…that was sarcasm, wasn’t it?”
“Glad you’re finally catching on! Anyway, where was I?”
“You were telling me about the time you first met Colette and the others, Sheena.”
“Right!”
“Well actually, I was on a mission to assassinate her. But I failed a bunch of times. We were both so clumsy at times that neither of us could do any harm on each other at all; not that she was trying to hurt me.”
“Well, who’s this cutie?”
“Um…my name is Suzu Fujibayashi.”
“Fujibayashi? Is she from Mizuho?”
“You never told me that you had a little sister, Sheena!”
“I don’t; she’s from Mizuho, yes, but thousands of years in the future. So that makes her my really distant family, I suppose.”
“So that makes her your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother or something! After all, you have the same last name!”
“Well when you put it that way, I guess that she probably is.”
“So, Suzu, that then makes me your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather!”
“Huh? How is that?”
“Well Sheena and I are in love after all! We’re bound to be married and have a bunch of little kids running around!”
“Zelos!”
“Ow, you don’t have to hit me.”
“Oh I’m not done yet; I summon thee, Gnome!”
“I wonder how they’re in love; they don’t seem anything like my parents.”
“Oh the naivety of youth. Suzu, you know Chester and Arche. Has someone ever told you that they’re in love because they fight so much?”
“Hm….”
“Yes; Claus tells me that all the time. And Mint as well.”
“Call it a Centurion’s intuition, but I do believe Zelos is right when he says that they’re in love.”
“Come on, Sheena! My hair takes hours to do in the morning! Hours!”
“Here you are, Leon! I whipped up a few crepes for you, just like you asked!”
“Hmph, why thank you, Mint. I just hope that that imbecile Reid doesn’t come and devour them all like last time.”
“Oh I don’t think that he will be doing that; Reid and Farah left this morning. She’s supposed to be keeping him very busy.”
“Well in that case…”
“Something smells great!”
“What are you doing here!?”
“What? I just smelled something cooking and had to see what it was!”
“I’m sorry Mint, Leon, I couldn’t stop him from coming. When Reid smells something, there’s no stopping him from coming.”
“He’s always been a faster runner than me.”
“Oh it’s fine, Farah. I only worry that Leon might—”
“That was my crepe, you give it back this instant!”
“This crepe was fair game!”
“It was on my plate!”
“You hadn’t touched it yet.”
“Oh no, this doesn’t look too good.”
“I agree…Reid, you might want to—”
“RUN!”
“Stone wall!”
“…”
“Hey, Genis. What’s Raine doing?”
“What? Oh, she’s reading a book that she borrowed from the Colonel.”
“The Colonel, huh? I wonder what it’s about.”
“I think she said something about fomicry.”
“Fomicry? Why would she want to study fomicry? And why would the Colonel let her do that in the first place?”
“Maybe he’s testing her to see if she’s worthy.”
“Worth? Of what?”
“Well they’re both really smart…right? Jade might want to collaborate with her on something if she can understand all of that fomicry stuff.”
“But…what could they—”
“MARVOULOUS! Who would have thought that fomicry could be so amazing! Colonel, you have developed quite the science!”
“Oh, Professor, you do flatter me.”
“We’d better get out of here.”
“Agreed.”
“Wait…where’d you two go? Yuri…Genis?”
“Anise! Would you—”
“Oh no…”
“Hello to the many great fans of Zelos Wilder!”
“And my new and old hunnies. I’m always available, just letting you know. You can find me at—”
“Zelos! We’re not here for you to find some new girl!”
“Ow…you don’t have to hit me.”
“Anyway, hi there! I’m Sheena Fujibayashi! Welcome to Tales of the Skits; the unofficial spin-off of the popular Tales Of Series!”
“Allow me to take it from here, Sheena. It seems you don’t have a simplest clue about what you’re doing.”
“Hey!”
“I am Colonel Curtiss from Tales of the Abyss; you may call me Jade. If you have played a Tales game, you should be familiar with the ‘skit’. It is a small scene in the middle of various points of the game that usually provide some comic relief even in the most intense points of the plot.”
“I’m sure that these skits developed by our moderator will be full of shenanigans.”
“You’ll probably be stirring up all of the mischief.”
“I’ll have you know that I’ll be causing just as much trouble as Jade!”
“I can’t believe you’re fighting over who’ll cause more mischief. You’re all such idiots.”
“Hah! I won!”
“That wasn’t fair, Lloyd! There’s no ‘Tempest’ in Rock Paper Scissors!”
“Well there is now!”
“Oh man…hey Rita, what are you mumbling about?”
“Stupid…every one of them…idiots.”
