[b]"I wonder if anybody's ever wondered what was spelled if you took the 'itm' out of your last name."[/b]

The strident, gruff voice of a boy said as the outline of a shadow emerged from the depths of the looming darkness that encircled the hotel room. Striding a few confident steps towards the light and standing a few feet from behind the chair where his target sat, the boy yawned tediously as a hand left his pocket and hovered above his mouth momentarily before returning to his side. [b]"Oh, well. Might as well get some info outta you while you still got your head."[/b]

Clad in a blue-grey hoodie, the boy's chin-length black hair hung over the crimson irises belonging to a pair of bored eyes. He easily towered over the girl and her computer desk in height, forcing himself to lean over in order to get a good glimpse of her computer screen as his right hand trailed to a concealed holster at his hip. Upon seeing the contents of the girl's little internet search, the boy's brows raised in a curious amusement. [b]"Actually, I've changed my mind,"[/b] he said with a newfound interest. [b]"No sudden movements, though, please. Makes this process a whole lot easier."[/b]

The boy cleared his throat, kneeling down beside the computer chair and drawing the revolver from his holster. He tapped it against the screen which projected the image of Naoto Alato, looking back and forth between the embarrassing picture and the girl. [b]"You find and give me the location of this one right here, and I won't kill you this time 'round. Capisce?"[/b]

There were many pineapples.

Daisuke was not entirely sure if he was dreaming or if he was actually awake; all he knew, was that at the very moment when his eyelids opened up, a pineapple with the body of a boy was staring down at him. [b]"MEEP-"[/b] he screeched as a second pineapple entered the picture, this time, with the body of a girl. Or was it another boy? He couldn't possibly tell... [b]"Save me!"[/b] he screamed as his body jolted upright, coming back to life. He trembled as he blinked rapidly, looking between the blond-haired pineapple and the black-haired pineapple as he began to crawl away from the menace.

Suddenly, four more pineapples came into view, three with the bodies of boys and one being a girl. [i]What... what is this...[/i] [b]"THIS IS MADNESS!"[/b] Daisuke shouted, his hands running through his messy hair as he felt tears begin to form at the base of his eyelids. [b]"No, this can't be it. The pineapples' conquest for world domination couldn't have possibly started yet! Unless... unless..."[/b]

It was then that Daisuke's frightened eyes turned to the scary woman. Or, rather, the scary woman whose head was now that of a pineapple. [b]"Forgive me, humanity,"[/b] Unable to withstand all of the terror, his nose began to bleed once more as his body fell back to the ground, fainting.
