Jeremy: "Hey everyone. This is Jeremy. Evil Ray is out finding us a new narrator since he pissed off our former narrator Smilin' Bob. ... Don't worry... you're not missing anything. The party is still just riding along in virtual silence....."

(door opens, closes)

Evil Ray: "Hey poonch-fucker!"

Jeremy: "Hello, yee! Who's that?"

Evil Ray: "This is 'Stoner Stephen', that annoying dweeb from those old Dell computer commercials. He was the only washed-up celebrity I could find willing to work for reefer."

Stoner Stephen: "Dude! I'm gonna be the narrator!"

Jeremy: "Y-eah. Eau-kay. Well, welcome aboard, Stephen."

Stoner Stephen: "Alright, man! So, what do I do?

Evil Ray: "Just sit in that chair and read the script."

Jeremy: "And, try to avoid conflict with the characters down there... especially that one." (points to TRITHAL)

Stoner Stephen: "Sure. If I can do those retarded Dell commercials, this should be a breeze!"

Evil Ray: "Whatever. Just get to work."

=========================

NENGO 327年11月17日 11:53 AM - 44 Days until Culmination

After several hours of traveling in relative silence, THRAX decided it was time to stop and have some lunch. The party made the occasional comment during lunch, but mostly to ask someone to 'pass the salt, ketchup, whatever, etc.' Every sound, no matter how soft, seems like a shout. Sound travels far in this treacherous canyon of jagged rock the party finds themselves in as they continue on the trail.

Sounds of various dangerous animals and such can be heard in the distance.

Suddenly, a group of 4 Mountain Ogres jump out from behind rocks up ahead and contront the party.

Lead Ogre: "This is our territory! You shall not pass!"

After using potions to restore lost HP and SP, the party continues on. After a while, when the party was certain that there were no more enemies around, AXEM decides to break the silence.

AXEM: "So, who, exactly is Macha-Chet? He was mentioned in the last episode, but nothing was really said about him."

Rihac: "Macha-Chet? Well..." (to TRITHAL) "Mugen, you may be able to tell the story better since you knew him better than me."

TRITHAL: "Well, Macha-Chet.... If I were asked to sum him up in one or two words, I'd have to say either 'emotionally unbalanced', 'misunderstood', 'complete psychopath,' ... well the list goes on from there. I'm not really sure what caused it, but somewhere along the way his perception of the world around him got totally distorted. Ironically, he was once considered one of the great thinkers of the Macha. He could plan out a whole military operation, and even account for any possible contingency. He was also good with thinking on his feet. I guess being so smart can eat away at your conscience mind. Eventually he started thinking 'too much', and started to see, hear and think things that weren't true or actually happening. At some point about 500 years ago, he got to the point to where he couldn't tell friend from foe... and that's when it happened."

AXEM: "That's when what happened?"

Rihac: "He was serving as a general for a military movement that doesn't even exist anymore. Sometime during some battle, he had killed a Macha -- not just the host, but the symbiont as well. According to the Macha code, that's a capital offense."

AXEM: "Really? If that's true, how come Trithal was allowed to live after he killed Liiche and Macha-Kun in Volume 1?"

TRITHAL: "Because 壮大マハ decided that, since I'm not able to leave this body, and that I did the Land of Fantasy a favor by getting rid of Liiche, that Macha-Rei should be declared dead and I should be allowed to live simply as Trithal the Divine Wind. You remember that, right? You were there!"

AXEM: "Oh yeah! I remember now!"

Rihac: "As for Macha-Chet, the Macha Counsel had found him to have lost his sanity and ability to differentiate between right and wrong, and was not capable of comprehending the consequences of his actions, So, instead of executing him, they decided to banish him to Banidori. No one has seen or heard from him since... or even know if he's still alive."

TRITHAL: "Oh I'm willing to bet he's still alive. Despite being a complete lunatic, he's still cunning and resourceful. It wouldn't surprise me at all to find out he's up to something right now..."

Several more hours pass, with little conversation worth mentioning. The party decides to pitch camp for the night, eats something for supper or some shit. Maybe has some sort of conversation or something. Then everyone gets some sleep.

=========================

Evil Ray: "Good job, Stephen. A little sloppy with the ending, but otherwise ok."

Stoner Stephen: "Does this mean that I got the job?"

Evil Ray: "Sure. Whatever."

Stoner Stephen: "Dude! I got a job! Up yours, Dell computers!!"

Jeremy: "Now on to Episode 26!"
