82: Advantage.

"Someone has touched my ZHINGS!" Jubei roared in his typical melodramatic fashion upon discovery. This monumental discovery was missing pieces of his wardrobe. Rather expensive items too.  Whale-boned corsets, all custom made. He knew for a FACT that no one in all of Autumn Manor could squeeze themselves into his corsets. Say, not even Porcie.

So, this was an act not out of "supposed" necessity that they were missing…This was another matter entirely. This was an act born out of sabotage.

Morbid. The Gruesome Twosome. Valkryie. Each of these beings were a constant thorn in his side. He gave a growl of disgust, practically ripping the door off its hinges.  His constant companion, Kanto, was lounging on the, a look of utter confusion written across his features. "Jubei?"

"Not now, Kanto." He sighed, holding up a hand. "I've got matters of most importance to attend to."  He stalked out of that room, hair blowing behind him.

"'Ou 'ear that nonsense?" Valkryie chortled, peeking her head around the corner. Morbid nodded, beaming ear to ear. He held an armful of the precious commodities that Jubei was missing.

"p-r-i-m-a-d-o-n-n-a on the prowl!" He chirped, eyes sparkling with mischief. Jubei's sensitive ears definitely heard that. A low growl was emitted from the towering "prim donna", painted lips drawn down in a tight sneer. "You...FUCKING miscreants!"  He tore his way down the hallway like a bat out of Hell.

"Watch OUT 'ere 'e comes! DUCK!" Valkryie laughed with all the subtlety of a rabid Hyena. He continued to come charging at him despite the barked out commands. He came up with his ever present sword. His hollowed eyes were full of an unfiltered rage, lips drawn back to reveal his fangs.

"PULL!"Valkryie barked out as if she were a Pirate of some sort, thrusting a fist in his direction. Morbid bent on his haunches; bum swaying to and fro as he composed himself. With a leap and a KYAAAA, he attempted to pounce on Jubei.

This failed, and his frilly clothing p shredded beyond repair. "OH NOES!" Morbid shrieked, retreating to behind Valkryie's legs.  "Scaryyyyy…."

"NEVER FEAR!" Valkryie had a bucket on her other side. It was filled with dense dirt, of all things. It was to be a last resort. It obviously came to that. "PULL!"She barked, lifting up the bucket-then gracelessly tossed the contents on Jubei.

She aimed so the majority of it landed in his long mane of hair. This was to weigh it down immensely, which was effective. It literally knocked him off balance; with an uncharacteristic meep, he fell to the ground.

"Kaching!" Valkryie shouted, jumping into the air-declaring victory
