A Hyperbolic Picnic

Cyril's whistling became shaky and nervous.

Emily stopped whistling and hid behind the unconscious Artik.

Popo revealed to be Nixon, wearing a mask. What a Dick... geddit?

Cyril violently murdered Nixon while howling, "THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!"

Emily remained hiding behind Artik.

Rick, that is, Astley appeared, shout-singing, "NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP,"

Rick, that is, Hideki, covered his ears in agony. Stan ripped his off. Auron... shrugged

Emily crawled from behind Artik and impaled Rick, that is, Astley, with a knife that was laying around after Mr. Popo's assault. "Shut UP!"

Rcik, ours, blinked as the man dissolved into dust.

Cyril quickly collected all the dust in a jar.

Emily looked at Cyril like he was crazy. Which he might be.

Cyril shrugged, "It has incredible healing abilities." he explained.

Rick blinked, "Oooooh!" He smiled, "That's what..." he looked about the room... realm... place, "What now?"

"I could pretend to go crazy and try to kill you all? I can totally conjure up some jungle biome or something to make things interesting." Cyril suggested.

"I'm not totally opposed to that." Emily said thoughtfully. "It'd be great training."

Rick put on a camo headband, "It's funny," he said, in an American accent with an old man voice, "When I was in the jungle, all I could think about was going home." He looked dramatically away, "Now that I'm home, all I can think about is being back there. You weren't there man! You don't know! 'NAM!!!" He sighed, voice back to normal, "Let's do it."

Cyril closed his eyes and suddenly the infinite expanse turned into miles upon miles of dense jungle. "Start running. I wont watch or sense either of you for a full two minutes."

Emily brushed passed Ryuzaki and beckoned for him to follow. She climbed up a tree with impeccable agility and began tree hopping.

Ryuzaki just flew next to Emily.He did a barrel roll.

Cyril was still counting.

"Don't fly! You make an obvious trail that way!" Emily hissed.

Rick turned and flew off without a word.

Meanwhile, Ryuzaki was hovering above the ground. Not high enough to leave a ki trail, but just enough to keep him from running on the ground. He swooped up and joined Emily, "Did you say something," he asked quietly.

"I told you to not fly. It leaves a trail." frowned Emily, "Was that it?"

There was a rustling in the bushes to their left. Was Cyril still counting? Who knows.

Rick blinked, "I'm not?" He was doing as Emily did.

"Yeah, but you were. You did a barrel role." Emily switched to the right suddenly, wary of the bush.

Rick called out somewhere in the forest. "LULULULU!"

Ryuzaki looked at Emily, whispering, "The hell was that? It came from over there."

"It... sounded kinda like you." Emily kept moving. "Keep an eye out, it could be Cyril psyching us out."

Rick blinked. "Weird." He continued to follow Emily. "Is... that a Gyrados?"

It was.

"Yeah, it is." Emily looked both delighted and baffled. She stopped and pushed Ryuzaki in its direction. "Go check it out."

Ryuzaki blinked at the absurdity. "Now, why would a Gyrados be out of water?" He blinked. That... that was what you should get out of this experience. Right? He poked it, and it tried to bite his head off. Ryuzaki would have screamed, but a shadow passed threw iit and the Gyrados fainted. "Was... that me," he asked as the figure streamed out into the horizon.

Emily came closer to the fainted Gyrados and shrugged. "I don't know. I don't suppose you have some sort of clone running around do you?"

Ryuzaki shook his head. He was not Probably a Clone.

"Maybe we should just keep running..."
