This was going to be a problem.
It wasn't so much the request - because really, causing mayhem and destruction was a lot of fun for Amyse. It was more an issue with...well...the small, flaming chunk of rock that she had to try and handle.
May or may not be an issue.
"...All right, then...let's...uh...." She pulled on some heat-resistant gloves, just in case. "...Let's do it, then. You lead."
The tiny meteoric Katamari wiggled, then began to move along as Amyse read from the list.
"Okay. First we need...a...spaceship. It says reasonable...does he mean reasonable in price, or reasonable in design...er...let's go with price, okay?" Scratching her head, she ran along behind the fast-moving rock. "Try and stay on the road...you're catching grass on fire."
Kaa-san turned onto the pavement, noting the fact that she was going to have to get back at Amyse for the pushiness later.
After a few minutes of searching, Amyse cried out. "AHA!"
"There we go. Cardboard. Economical. We'll just have to move fast so you don't burn it...."
With a little -plunk- noise, Kaa-san rolled up some poor sap's art project. "ONWARD!" Amyse helped to shove the uneven burden along. "I have no idea where we're at...but...there must be a tin can somewhere nearby...."
"What did you fin- oh, that's just NASTY. Okay, okay, that'll count...but...uh...." She peered down at the list in awe.
"We need...who? Okay, I've got this one."
Amyse stood very still, drew a deep breath, and bellowed at the top of her lungs -
"I WISH THE GOBLIN KING WOULD TAKE THIS...uh...." She looked around. "...GOAT...AWAY FROM ME RIGHT NOW!"
"A what? OH GOD-"
"STOP SQUIRMING, DAVID BOWIE!"
"BUT IT BURNS!"
"OH, SHUT UP, YOU'RE IMMORTAL."
Kaa-san rather liked David Bowie. Oh, well. She rolled over him as kindly as she could...in fact, letting him climb harmlessly into the cardboard spaceship before continuing on.
"Kay, next is...a present for my Mother. Well...."
"BRILLIANT, SPINDLY!CRANE! Just...er...can't let it melt...oy, David Bowie, could you hold this?"
"But-"
"Thanks. Okay, what next, what next...." Amyse was IN THE ZONE. "Something star-shaped? I think I know JUST the person to see about that...this way, Kaa-san...."
"Mind if I take one, Bat? Thanks." She flung it onto the pile, where it got tangled in David Bowie's mullet. "Now we need...a bunch of...cables? Well, that sounds kinda...weird, but okay."
Kaa-san knew what to do for this one...she simply plowed through the nearest office building, and when she was done....
"Wow. That was impressive. You okay, there, Mister Bowie?"
"Ground control to Major-"
"HUSH. Okay, well, that oughta keep things...tied up, at least? Now we need some...Materia. Um. Well. I have MateriaL, but...not so much...Materia." She rubbed at the back of her head in thought. "Kaa-san? Ideas?"
Of COURSE Kaa-san knew where to get Materia. She wasn't as stupid as her fan seemed to be. She just took a quick roll down to the City of the Ancients (of course harnessing the power of Bowie to do so) and returned a minute later with....
"Great! Er...are you sure no one's gonna need that?"
If Kaa-san had eyes right now, she would be GLARING LIKE MAD. Since she didn't, Bowie did it for her. "...All right, all right. Now we need a glass of water. That's easy. We'll just borrow one from this house here."
Amyse didn't MEAN to burn down the house, but...these things happen.
"Check it out! Badly drawn and everything! Just two more things. How you doin', Kaa-san?"
The Katamari was burning, tangled in cables, and dragging David Bowie around in a spaceship. Oh yes. The hurt would have to be layed down later.
"Now we need a black cloak...a NICE black cloak. Okay. Good thing I saved money on that spaceship earlier...."
Just then, the answer fell right into their lap.
"'Scuse me, dudes, would you happen to, like, have the One Ring on you or somethin'?"
Amyse just grinned. "...Sure. It's on David Bowie."
"SWEET!"
Okay, so now they just needed a chocobo. And preferably a fast one, because David Bowie was starting to look awfully pissed at Amyse. Now, she had payed attention in school, so she found the nearest Gysahl Greens and....
"THERE."
Kaa-san knew that wasn't a chocobo. It was a Hawkstrider. A Blood Elf Mount. But you know what? It did kinda look like a Chocobo, so it must be close enough. She rolled it up, effectively pinning poor Nazgul.
It had been a long roll...but they were finished.
And as they ran off...Amyse screaming as the flaming pile of angry rock and British pop idol rushed after her....
There was a sense of accomplishment in the air.
