Just wondering if I'm in this. Still reading, and this is some nice work R2!

Eliakith: That kid in the corner who you know, and you're sure he knows you, but you two never talk because he has a kind of... Aura he puts off. He's always done with homework and tests before anyone else, even without using a calculator. Spends his spare time as a lawful neutral runic mage in D&D groups. Has never been seen participating in sports.

Yeah, I'd rather if Eliakith gave his own character personality.

Chapter 5: Nurse's Dojo

A knife hits the wall in front of Manly, while he's bending over, Matrix style.  "C'mon Manly!" shouts Strop, throwing two more knives. "Youâve got to be better than that! If this were a real scenario, youâd be dead already."

One of the knives go right through Manly's left sleeve and leaves a hole in the material of his shirt. "What are you doing?!" shouts Manly hysterically.

"You came for ninja practice, didn't you?" replied Strop as he throws another knife at Manly's head. Manly manages to dodge the knife by dropping to the ground. "No! I came because I threw up in Unleash's class."

Strop stands up straight, knife in hand. "Oh. Why didn't you just say that?"

"Oh I don't know," says Manly sarcastically. "It might have been because someone was throwing knives at me before I could do anything!"

"Don't take that tone with me, sir," Strop says, getting close to Manly's face. "Now, what's wrong?"

"I just told you!" Manly facepalms. "I threw up in Unleash's class!"

"Oh..." says Strop, a hoof on his chin. "I may need my assistant to help me with this."

He walks into a closet, and a moment later, female horse comes out wearing a school nurse's uniform. It must be a few sizes too small, since her breasts were trying to explode out with each step.

"Uhhhh," is all the coherency Manly manages. He feels really awkward around this mare, and tries to focus on her face.

"Strop told me you were sick?" she says, smiling.

"Uhh, yeah." Manly blinks. "I threw up in Unleash's class."

"And what did you eat this morning?"

"Oh I ate about... 10 boxes of Poptarts."

Strip's eyes widen in shock. "Why would you eat that many Poptarts?"

"Because R2 told me that if I ate enough, Storm would be attracted to me."

Strip sighs. "Has it ever occured to you that R2 might be a bad influence?"

Manly blinks, unsure of what she's trying to say. "What do you mean?"

Strip waves her hand aside. "Just forget it." She pulls out a tongue depressor. "Open wide."

Manly opens his mouth as Strip uses the tongue depressor to push his tongue down and look inside his mouth with a flashlight.

"Seems we have a fight on our hands." she mumbles. "Stay here, I'm going to get Strop."

She runs into the closet and half a minute later, Strop quickly runs back out, holding some sort of device with a bowl on and a katana. "Manly! I need you to swish this cup of water in your mouth and spit in the bowl." Strop gives Manly a styrofoam cup with water in it.

"Why?" asks Manly curiously.

"Just do it, man!" yells Strop urgently as he shakes Manly, the force of the shake spilling the water on Manly's crotch.

"Aww, man! Now people are going to think I peed!"

Ignore his plight, Strop runs to the sink and fills up another cup with water. He gives Manly the cup, and Manly swishes the water around his mouth and he spits it into the bowl.

The moment the saliva hits the bowl, a lot of green dots appear in it. The dots start growing and growing, multiplying in an exponentially increasing conflagration until they're the height of Strop, a whole army the height of Strop, all squished into a bowl. It was pretty trippy.

"Germs...we meet again" growls Strop as he pulls out his katana from a sheath. Manly sits there blankly, staring at the weirdness unfolding before him.

"We will take over the school and infect everyone here!" squeals one of the germs.

"I don't think so," says the horse doctor person thing in an epic voice.

Strop then leaps forward and slashes a couple of the germs, their ribosomes splitting in half from the sheer force of the katana. The germs counterattack with mucus in the shape of bullets, but Strop swiftly rolls out of the way. "Mucus bullets?" he scoffs. "Please, I've faced head colds tougher than you."

The germs snarl at the insult, and the first line of germs pulls out cytoplasm in the shape of swords. They charge Strop, but the well-trained ninja had expected that and knocks down one of the germs by cutting of his legs. The germs behind that one all trip over him and fall onto Strop's katana, one after another, making his katana the stick of a kabob.

"Anyone up for a germ man kabob?" Strop jokes.

"Dude," comments Manly. "That wasn't funny at all."

The remaining germs stare at their fallen brethren and in unison, start oozing for the door.

"Oh, no you don't!" Strop leaps into the air and comes down removing the nuclei of a couple of germs. But that doesn't stop the rest from escaping his wrath, and the remaining germs flee down separate hallways. Strop looks at Manly.

"They need to be stopped." Strop goes over to a cupboard and pulls out another katana. "And you're going to help me." He tosses Manly the katana, who stumbles to catch it.

    "But... sir..." says Manly staring at the katana in his hands. "I don't know how."

    "Then learn. Youâre at school, arenât you?" Strop then runs out the office and down the adjacent hall. Manly runs down another hall, hoping he wouldnât trip and impale himself on the katana.

    A few moments later, he sees the first couple of germs surrounding a student, but the germs are around the student so Manly can't see who it is. Until he hears, "Ow! Get it off me!" from one of the germs as he holds up a finger with a fuzz ball on it. The fuzz ball is none other than Minecraftsniper. Manly takes a step forward, plunging the katana into the germs nucleus, and it explodes. The other germs stare in shock, but Manly makes quick work of them. Their faces are sliced in half, and Manly picks up Minecraft in the palm of his hand.

 

"Are you alright?" he asks, then makes a shriekingly soprano, "Ow!" as Minecraft bites his finger. "No!" Manly throws Minecraft into an open locker and then closes it on him, ignoring the squarky noises of displeasure from the ball of fluff.. "Don't bite me!"

    Manly goes in search of more germs. He finds many more in his own Manly adventure, but to detail all their gruesome deaths would require another chapter, and none of you but Manly are interested in reading how he ran around and jumped and almost cut his own neck off by mistake. The last germ was standing next to StormWalker. It looked like they're in deep conversation when Manly pierces the nucleus.

    "Manly!" shouts Storm. "How could you do that?"

    "B-but I saved your life," says Manly despondently.

    "Why would I need saving? We were talking about the painful suffering of others when you killed him." Storm scoffs as she walks away.

    "So I guess I don't get a kiss?" yells Manly to her retreating back. In response, she makes a rude gesture over her shoulder. Deflated, the germ-hunter heads back to the Nurse's office.

    When Manly gets there, Strop is putting away his katana and cleaning his office. "I assume everything went well?"

"Yeah. Everything went well,â sighs Manly. "Except one of them was talking to my future girlfriend, and when I killed it, she got mad."

    "That's a shame." Strop nodded sagely. "But you know, just try your hardest and eventually you'll get her."

    "Do you really think so?" Manly asks, his eyes shining with hope.

    "Nope. Now please, leave. I have work to do." Strop flopped into his chair and meditated.
    Manly walks down the hall, heading straight for third period, as heâd missed second period while in the office/chasing down hideous invaders/rescuing Storm. He walks into a classroom with the name "Mr. Reton" on the sign next to the door, and the next class begins.

That was...unsettling.

I'll let the story speak for itself; It was pretty trippy.

That... was... strange...

That's all I can say about this chapter.

Am I missing something? It seems pretty normal to me.

But that maybe because I wrote the story.

Erm, it did seem a little odd. Why was Manly's vomiting so important to you?

The weirdest part of the story is:

The moment the saliva hits the bowl, a lot of green dots appear in it. The dots start growing and growing, multiplying in an exponentially increasing conflagration until they're the height of Strop, a whole army the height of Strop, all squished into a bowl. It was pretty trippy.

Why was Manly's vomiting so important to you?

It seemed like the easiest way to introduce Strop... and Strip.

Let's just hope that Chapter 6 is not as weird as this one was.

It shouldn't be. This should be the only one like that.

I didn't find it that weird. Most of these people don't know Strop that well. Or read WoM. It was a neat chapter. Nothing really strange the way you guys are making it sound.

I love the stories, I just feel bad I havn't been introduced yet. But I'll get mah chance... I will -.-

That was me. It was a temp profile during the AG apocolypse.
