This doesn't look suspicious at all. Miria: You're a week late. Do you have any idea how little there is to do in old, abandoned warehouses? Clare: Sorry, Judge Doom was too busy laughing to tell me when I was supposed to be here. Then I got distracted by a month-long flashback. Helen: Nice sidekick. Is he housebroken? [swords drawn, commence Claymore standoff] Clare: Take it back. Raki: Tell me about the rabbits, Clare! Clare: Okay, so he's not - but it's only a matter of time! Miria: Well, that's a good way to start off what promises to be a perfectly routine Enlightened-Being-slaying quest. Before we go, we should attempt to bond. I'll go first. I'm ranked #6, and I enjoy long walks on the beach and pwning me some Yoma. Helen: I'm #22. My personal hero is Kim Kelly from Freaks and Geeks, and I hate main characters and whoever subtitled this series. If I hear half-man, half-yoma one more time... Deneve: I'm ranked #15, but I'm ranked #4 in Most Nordic-Looking. [all look expectantly at Clare] Clare: I am not a Number! I am a free man!! Miria, Helen, Deneve: .... Clare: Um, I'm #47. Miria, Helen, Deneve: [sharp intake of breath] Clare: Oh, you meant in Base 10, didn't you? Heh, heh. In that case, I'm Number Two. Helen: She's certainly Number Two, all right. Miria: Impossible, you don't have enough daddy issues for that. Raki: I'm ranked #19 for plucky sidekicks! All Claymores: SHUT UP, RAKI. [later] Clare: Raki, I'm going to leave you here, don't make a mess on the rug this time. Raki: You're coming back, right? Right? Clare: Sure thing, sport. [to innkeeper] If I don't come back, you can make him your slave. But if he tells you he's a great cook, that's a damned lie. Raki: Um, I heard that. Clare: Sit. STAY. [much later] Helen: Why did we bring her again? Deneve: Upper Management said so. They said something about cutting costs by bringing on more trainees. Miria: Clare, come outside. I want to royally kick your ass -- I mean cross swords with you. I see potential in you despite your abysmal ranking. And I can only listen to Helen without strangling her for about two minutes at a time. [fifteen seconds later] Miria: Yes, I was right, she has great potential as a training dummy. Clare [delirious]: But I shredded the rose on your lapel, that means I get the Rose Bride! Miria: It's okay, I'm sure every Claymore is important in their own special way. Helen: Yes, you can carry all of our swords. Clare: I would keep fighting you, but I found this really comfortable puddle, see? [passes out] Deneve: I think I finally figured out what Judge Doom meant when he said he knew how to kill a 'toon. [much later] Guard (in accented English): Hello, pretty Claymore girls! All: .... Guard: I just came here to tell you that the Enlightened Being, who is not me, is down this way, at the end of this box canyon. Did I mention I'm not the Enlightened Being? Miria: [squints] That's a male Enlightened Being, baby! Male Enlightened Being: Oh darn, I guess this means they'll take longer than an episode to kill off now. [CLIFF HANGER] Sorry, that was longer than I thought it would be. Edited by elfpvke, Nov 15 2009, 08:45 AM.
