When Tam left with sort of an attitude about him Mako decided it was best to just leave him alone. The black ball's words must have insulted him and he appeared to have alot of pride shattered. She took a moment to stare off at him not actually looking at him but, thinking back to what happened during the mission.
Her thoughts were then interrupted by a familiar face,
"Are we graded on our kills or something?" Dane asked.
"I'm actually kinda excited to see how many points I get." He continued.
His points had appeared on the Gantz Ball...They read as...
"Determined Smoker"
10pts
90 more and your free I guess.
Too much smoking
Smoking isn't good for you...
Mako took her eyes off Tam to read Dane's score and shrugged. She had no idea why it did but, she remembered Gantz stating that there would be 'scoring' and this was a very humorous way of doing so.
Mako's came next. When she noticed that it was her turn she got closer to the ball and saw exactly what the ball thought of her.
"Team Spirit"
0pts
100 more and I guess you can go free.
Go get em' "Spirit"!
Mako Mitsuhara sighed at her score and looked down at her pom-poms. She guessed that in the black ball's eyes it was a crime to be even a cheerleader and she was picked on for it.
Behind her Kramarr thought back to his points and Tomoko's. When he looked at her he could see that she was still blushing at the fact that Gantz had referred to him and her as Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Looking at her she looked back and smiled with Jomo still hugging her.
"Damn five points, so if we get to a hundred we can go free huh? Sounds like we are going to be here many more times than tonight." Kramarr spoke out loud in thought. Tomoko didn't like the sound of having to go through this again but, it wouldn't be so bad with Kramarr at her side,
would it?When Jomo heard this she immediately let go of Tomoko and disappeared through the gantzers in the room. It was something about what Kramarr said that bothered her. Maybe she didn't like it here but, being able to communicate with Tomoko like that socially was something she lacked...maybe she even wanted it back.
Near the black ball the crow chirped painfully when Lance picked it up with his coat. It wasn't that it trusted him but, without its wing in good condition there was no escape for it either way. With it in his hands however, Lance shocked the bird by what he said. Not only could the bird understand him but, Lance was defending him.
Behind him his points were visible with a cartoon picture of himself. On the black ball they read out as...
"Shit Head"
15pts
85 more and your free I guess.
Too much shit on you and for brains...
Even as it showed this, it didn't stop Lance from sticking it to the people responsible for what happened to the bird,
"You fucking ass-wipe! Why the FUCK did you shoot a harmless bird?" He yelled at Theodore, he then continued on directing his insults at Kiba,
"and you, fuck you to. You're not eating this bird either. If you want to eat something, go down to the local Maccers and order a McHeart Attack Burger..." Silence set in after his attempt at humor. The joke wasn't really that funny but, Lance was right...the bird didn't really do anything to harm anyone.
Hope seemed to be the only one smiling at the time finally glad that someone was sticking it to the 'weirdo'. Her grin was hidden by her Hoody as then she found interest in her diary. The blood was gone...
Momentarily distracted she looked back up to see Kiba's points posted.
"Jungle Boy"
6pts
94 more and its back to the jungle!
Too much Tarzan
She rolled her eyes at what Gantz had referred to him as. She couldn't believe it actually believed he was from the Jungle. She knew he must have had some sort of a family he was just as weird as the 'loud old man'. She sighed and looked back to the ball to see herself posted next.
"Hope"
10pts
90 more for the win; its not that far...don't cry!
Too much contradicting your name...
Too much staring longingly at "Jungle Boy"
In other words your hopeless...
If anyone were to look over at Hope they'd notice that she had already fled into the hallway the moment her points had been visible and read first by her. Whether it was embarrassment or anger whoever that noticed could only wonder.
During her great escape from the main room she bumped into Theodore lightly as he was having a heated confrontation with Kramarr Dane and Tomoko. It had started off with a warm greeting but, Theodore Bagwell must have forgotten the terms that him and the two individuals were on. Dane and Kramarr didn't seem too keen on allowing the 'con-artist' anywhere near the 'blonde bombshell'.
"What happened to you, Tomoko?" Theodore asked almost as if concerned for her well being.
When she attempted to respond Kramarr immediately interrupted the ordeal,
"Are you fucking kidding me!? Stay the fuck away from her and the other girls you hear me!?"While Dane nodded Tomoko appeared taken back by his words and almost in disbelief that Kramarr was treating the apparently nice guy in such a way. What had he done to Kramarr?
"You may be able to con other people with that bullshit but not me.""Kramarr...I don't undestand...why are you acting like this all of a sudden...he was just being nice!" Tomoko scolded shocked that he could even say such rude things when they weren't necessary. She wanted an explanation and Kramarr was going to give her one.
He looked at her and explained,
"Tomoko you have to trust me..this guy is trouble, he's a bullshit artist. When we were first brought to this room and you told me and Tam to watch the door while you and the girls were changing.....You remember that? Well this asshole came to both of us telling us to move if we didn't want trouble.""Hahahah..." Theodore laughed uneasily at Kramarr and the situation he was digging himself in.
"Really I just remembered now what you were talking about.." He said and stopped his laugh.
"You tell me to stay the fuck away from girls, Romeo?" He was now screaming at Kramarr and getting the attention of all who were interested around the room.
"What do you know about me?"He continued calming his voice.
"You saying I'm a con artist? Oh you seem to do well in telling about other people. Could you be a con yourself?" T-Bag said as he got close to Kramarr's face. His voice full of anger. "And don't try to pull that shit that I wanted to see the girls cause I didn't know they were there. I just wanted to get out of there."
Tomoko looked at her "Romeo" and asked him,"Kramarr what you said, is it true?"
"Yeah, it's true." Dane interrupted answering for him,
"Dick-head threw me across the room when I transported."Tomoko looked at Theodore when she heard this. She honestly thought he was a good person. She always saw the good in people and it was very hard to see it in Theodore at all at the time.
"Shut the fuck up." Came Bagwell's reply to Dane. His choice of words made Tomoko frown even more.
"We all saw that you tried to hurt me cause you had the suit." "Bullshit." Dane countered,
"Why the hell would I, a high school kid, try to hurt you, a severely fucked up degenerate, just cause the suit makes me stronger. Or do you not remember that you were wearing it too." When he finished he blew smoke in T-bag's face almost as if in mock symbolism of his victory over him. He then spat out.
"With a monster hard-on, I might add."Theodore stood over Dane opening his mouth to suck all the smoke in. Then he smirked at Dane.
"I guess you said the reason yourself. You're a fucking high school student and like to fuck with older people ain't that right?"Dane went silent as if he were at a loss for words along with Tomoko. Theodore then drew his attention back to Kramarr. He was on a roll and he wasn't going to stop yet.
"If I remember correctly, you were the one who was acting like a perv. Laughing and fantasizing about what the girls where doing. You know what I think? I think you have a twisted mind and like to fuck with other people. I know a shit load of people like you. What the hell is with you people? All blaming me for something." T-bag defended himself as if he were about to cry. Tomoko couldn't help but, feel bad for the guy.
Kramarr however, didn't buy one bit of it,
"You say you didn't know about the girls?... thats bullshit right there what did you think they just disappeared and we were guarding the door for no reason?"Tomoko grabbed his arm and he took a breath. Even though she didn't approve of what he was saying back and forth. She still supported him...this was really bothering him.
"Look I don't care about anything that you have to say from now on, You just stay away from these girls. If you want to do something about it then do what you got to do, I was going to leave you alone from the beginning, but I'm not going to let you hurt anyone."When Kramarr let his words sink in Mako was already on the scene and tried to help Tomoko separate the two from each other. Mako held back Kramarr while Tomoko tried to stand infront of Theodore. "Don't fight, please.." Tomoko begged.
"Yeah, were all in this together!" Mako agreed.
When Dane saw Mako he seemed to regain his composure somewhat,
"I don't wanna get into this with you, man. I just don't care enough about you to bother, but if you try to hurt anyone, I will." He said this while looking at Mako.
She reacted by looking back at him. "No one is going to get hurt, so you won't need to get into anything...everyone needs to take a chill pill!"
However, Theodore was at the point of no return now,
"Are you fucking retarded?" He shouted at Kramarr and Dane couldn't help but, feel ignored along with Tomoko and Mako.
"I had just died, like the rest of you I suppose, and you think I had my mind fixated on what other people where doing? I guess you guys are pretty trained or something since it seemed like you weren't a bit shocked that you had just fucking died!"Tomoko with her suit was luckily able to hold Theodore back but, his anger was a force to be reckoned with,
"And don't tell me to stay away from the girls cause I think they can decide well by themselves what they want to considering all the shit we have been through." Everyone knew he was referring to the mission they all had been apart of,
"Don't act like a gentleman or something." Tomoko then noticed him look into her eyes and she couldn't actually look away. He was such a good actor that he could reel her into believing the sky was anything but, blue. With her gaze drowning in his own he finished with,
"Again, why would I hurt any of you? If I wanted to, I could have done that even before.""Why don't you fuckin' try it." Dane said shouted behind Mako who had to also hold him back along with Kramarr.
Kramarr's reaction to Theodore's words were cool calm and calculated as he stated the flaw in Theodore's design. Almost as if it were the stray that broke the camel's back.
"Oh please not even you can be that ignorant. She announced to the whole room that her and the girls were changing and not to peek. You can stop your act because it isn't working."When Kramarr said this a loud crack was heard and Theodore could be seen holding his cheek. Tomoko had slapped the taste out of his mouth. "How could you lie to me! I thought you were what you said you were...theres nothing nice about you! Your just a big-headed jerk!" With that said she pushed Theodore and ran into the hallway bumping into Tam on his way out from the back.
After the scene had been made the Gantz ball displayed a picture of Theodore along with his score and humorous comment...
"The Con-Man"
26pts
74 more and your free you dog you...
You can't trust "The Con-man", you've been warned.
Mako saw this and looked at Theodore Bagwell questionably...
After Theodore's scoring disappeared another appeared that was soon to possibly spark some interest. It was Jomo-mo-mo's turn and her score read...
"Ms. Mo-Mo"
25pts
105 total...
Congratulations! Feel free to choose something from the reward menu!
Oh...and no...its not a banana...
Jomo-mo-mo walked out from the crowd of Gantzers and stared at the Gantz screen showing her score. She had 100 points 105 to be exact.
How long had she been here?
How did she obtain so many points?
And now that she had 100 what would she use them on? These were a few questions that had to be on the Gantzer's mind while Jomo stared back at the black ball...
what was going on through her mind?
