Chaos In a Nutshell: Fresh-ish Start

"YAMI" Flake shouts

"Huh, what?" Yami looks around

"We're here" Flake answers

"Oh, alright" Yami hops out the window

"I wonder where Clara and Jason are" Metal stretches his legs

"They'll get here eventually, I guess, why are we here again?" Flake asks

"Since Yami's real, then we've gotta assume that the rest of them are real, as surprising as it sounds" Metal answers

"You know I don't know jack sh!t about what you're talking about, right?" Flake asks

"Right now we're looking for an ancient set of armor, basically" Metal explains

"He did die, didn't he?" Yami sighs

"You know who he's talking about?" Flake asks

"Yeah, his name was Doomguy" Yami answers

"I'm so excited, we're about to see what he wore, a gift from the gods themselves" Metal stares

"I think I know where it is" Yami starts  looking around

"Where?" Metal asks

Yami squints

"HEY, WE'RE HERE" Clara yells, drifting in a truck

"GOT THE MAP" Jason jumps out of the car, waving a piece of paper around

Yami starts walking away

"We've gotta figure out where it is" Clara states

"I think Yami already figured it out" Flake watches Yami hitting the ground

"Really?" Jason asks

"Yeah, right here" Yami starts digging

"Are you sure?" Clara approaches Yami

"Look at the difference in grass" Yami states

"What are you talking about?" Jason asks

"There's less grass here than there is where you're standing" Yami explains

"You can tell that?" Metal asks

"Learned a few things since I died" Yami smiles a little

Flake nods, thinking to herself

"Yeah, that's the mark of a friend" Yami smiles, uncovering her paw from a green metal

"IS IT REALLY HIS ARMOR?" Jason asks

"Yeah, try not to touch it" Yami scrapes dirt away from it

"Why not?" Flake crouches beside Yami

"Just touching it can give you demonic memories from past wearers" Clara answers

"More like nightmares" Yami shakes her head

"So how do we get this out if we can't touch it?" Metal asks

"We don't" Yami explains

"So we came out here for nothing?" Flake asks

"We could try moving it with a stick" Metal suggests

"Don't try it" Yami shakes her head

"How come you can touch it but I can't?" Jason asks

"I don't know, I've been around Doomie a lot, maybe that's a reason" Yami answers

"So maybe you can carry it" Clara points out

Yami clears her throat

She rubs her paws together

"FFFFFFFFFFFFFFHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH" Yami tries picking it up

"D*MN, THAT HEAVY?" Metal laughs

"WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM A COMMON HOUSEHOLD ANIMAL?" Yami yells

"She's got a point" Flake states

"Well, in the legends it said you were human, explain that" Jason crosses his arms

"It's fine if you can't lift it, doesn't mean that much anyway" Flake smiles

"Hoh god, I need a minute" Yami slowly starts walking away

"You're a cat, you're supposed to be human" Jason walks towards her

"If you can find a way to make me human again, I'll be happier than hell to lift that piece of f#cking armor, but guess what? I don't know how the f#ck to make myself have opposable thumbs again, so get off my a$$ for not being a valuable member treasure hunting" Yami scowls

"Hey, calm down, he's just trying to figure something out, he didn't know it was a sensitive topic to you, alright?" Flake asks

"I'm sorry, I really am" Yami sighs

"I'm sorry too" Jason shakes his head

"Just-nevermind" Yami gets back in the car

"If we can get Yami human again, maybe we could get the armor then" Metal suggests

"How'd we do that?" Clara asks

Flake shakes her head and goes back to the car

"PETRA'S SPELL" Jason shouts

"Yeah, that would work, it was something like Fajumatalanestof-f*ck, I don't know" Metal shakes his head

"I've got an idea" Clara starts walking to the car

"What do you want now?" Yami stares at Clara

"...Nurt kacb ot a nuamh" Clara stares at Yami

"...The f7ck was that supposed to do?" Yami asks

"I guess the idea didn't work, back to the book" Clara walks back to the group

"Do you know what she was trying to do?" Flake asks

"Trying to do a spell in her own way, something another friend did" Yami explains

"Oh...I'm sorry" Flake sighs

"You're good, mom used to do witchcraft all the time" Yami adds

"How do they even do that crap anyway? An eye of a beetle, a fang of a lion, then a flake of grass that's fallen 50 feet from the sky, mix it together and it'll turn into a f#cking bucket full of water" Flake rolls her eyes

Yami starts laughing

"That a good impression?" Flake smiles

"That's one of her f#cking spells" Yami wheezes

Flake starts wheezing with her

"Oh-Oh, I'm-I'm f#cking crying" Yami nearly dies of laughter

Flake has liquid coming from each of her holes

"Oh, oh sh!t, that was funny" Yami wipes her eyes

"That was great, hey, is-is it cool if I group up with the others?" Flake asks

"Yeah, it's cool" Yami smiles

"Alright, seeya in a bit" Flake gets out of the car

Yami stares down at the floorboard
