Bedroom of the Pumpking.

Tigen floated at the top of the large, spiraling stairs, looking at a larg and empty space. This was where Tigen's rooms would be. Tigen began to mold some Dimensional energy into a door, then encased it in Liquid Energy so that it would keep its form and Stay... and so that if people touched it, they would not get hurt by the dimensional energy, unless Tigen wanted them to. The large door took on the shape of a pumpkin face, only without a mouth and with deathly eyes that seemed to be able to shoot out searing hot flames. Tigen placed a spark of his flame in that flame so that Tigen would be able to see through the eyes at his will, and so that the flame would be able to change colors. "Now, the door's done..." Tigen opens the door and with that, a large, dimensional ceiling opened up and stayed open. Many luxurious things such as a double king sized bed (even though Tigen really doesn't need a bed) with a pumpkin theme, many doors randomly placing themselves on the walls, a large treasure chest full of chocolate and a large, pumpkin headed lamp fell from out of it. The Pumpkin Headed lamp seemed to have a mind of its own. Tigen nodded to it, and it nodded back "Ah, Master Tigen, your bedroom awaits..." Tigen ruffled his sheets to examine them, then left the room to be tended to by.. what should his name be...? "Pumpikkus." It acknowledged Tigen, even though this was the first time it was called by that name. "Tend to the room while Tigen is out. Tigen must make MORE ROOOOOMS!!!" Pumpikkus nodded as Tigen warped back outside. What an odd bedroom...

Tigen exits from out of Pumpkinhead's secret room, looking roughed up a bit. His flame was gray and dim.

Pumpikkus: I assume all did not go well, Master Tigen?

Tigen: Not at all, Pumpikkus... It seems Pumpkinhead won't come out for anything, and he said that Tigen needs to find some Black Hole abilities and soon...

Pumpikkus bows to Tigen "So terribly sorry, sir. Might I tend to your... roughed up head?"

Tigen shook his head "Not at all, Pumpikkus. Tigen will survive."

Pumpikkus takes to one knee "As you wish, Master Tigen... Might I be of service whenever you need..." Pumpikkus stands up, straightens his tie, then becomes an inanimate, tall lamp. Tigen plops down on his bed, wondering what to do about Pumpkinhead. His flame slowly begins to die out, signifying that he was losing consciousness... going to sleep...

After Tigen has fallen asleep, Tigen's little buddies sneak in and try to go through the door.

Rinna: Hm... It seems as though we cannot make it through there the easy way... It would be too difficult... We would need Tigen's dimensional energy to do this...

Hiun: You know, we could just take the long way through the maze.

Everyone shook their heads, knowing that by the time they got to the end, Tigen would have woken up about 4 days later and wondered where his Pokemon and Chaos and Tonberry were. They'd have to get Tigen to maybe... sleepwalk, somehow?

Rinna: I think I may be able to do that...

Rinna closes her eyes and begins to concentrate deeply, focusing her mind with Tigen's mind. Her dress begins to flare up as she is connecting their minds. There is quite a bit of psychic power flowing from her body, which created very heavy winds from her body. Tigen then began to float, however he was not conscious more than enough to use his power. He raised his hand and made a pathway through the Dimensional energy, which would only last for a short time. Rinna set Tigen back down on the bed as everyone made their way into... Pumpkinhead's dwelling.

-- Shortly afterward--

Everyone, including Tigen exits from Pumpkinhead's dwelling.

Tigen sighs "Tigen knows you all were trying to help, but you can't piss off Pumpkinhead like that! He doesn't really like anyone except for me, so it's difficult for him to actually adjust to you all."

Everyone nods and Hiun kinda scoffs at Pumpkinhead's name.

Tigen: Tigen wants you all to go rest in your rooms, Tigen as will Tigen, okay?

Everyone nods once again, and Hiun scoffs at the thought of going to her room.

Tigen warps them off to their rooms respectively and plops back down on his bed "Tigen really needs to find some black hole energy... and soon..." Tigen dozes off once again back into a slumber.

-- Skip --

Tigen entered his room, feeling a bit uneasy and kind of sick at the moment. He turned to Pumpikkus "What are they doing now, Pumpikkus?"

Pumpikkus pulled up a dimensional screen "Well, Master Tigen, it seems as if they have gone into the Hotspring Infinity. Do you think it will restore Master Fubuki's chakra completely, now that some has been coming back to him?"

Tigen shook his head "It should restore it just enough for him to be considered a ninja... The hotspring is powerful, but not that powerful. It can only give as much chakra as you can hold, no more than that, and with Fubuki's little 'mishap,' he probably cannot hold much chakra anymore... Just enough for Tigen to train him."

Pumpikkus nodded "Ah. Good show, Master Tigen. Might I also ask why you are looking so under the weather?"

Tigen shook his head "It's... It's nothing, Pumpikkus. Tigen will... Tigen will come back later." Tigen floated through one of the doors on his walls in his room and closed it behind him.

Pumpikkus sighed "Master Tigen... I hope you are quite alright..." Pumpikkus returned to his fake inanimate object status.

--Timeskip--

Tigen sits down to a fun, yet creepy looking pumpkin table. Tea is set by Pumpikkus, however Tigen's teacup is filled with melted chocolate. Tigen is specifically waiting for Sadira, in which he had given special permission to warp into his room. He sips his chocolate tea.

A large blue and white polkadot gift box appears upside down above the seat across from Tigen. The lid falls out and I drop down into the seat. I reach up for the box and shove it in my bag before pulling another out. I set it on the table and slide it toward Tigen. "I brought tea cakes."

Tigen is suddenly wearing a monocle, even though he does not have eyes, and his witch hat has changed into a top hat. Tigen takes a tea cake and a sip of his tea "Hm. Yes. Quite." Tigen places his tea on the table "That will be all, Pumpikkus." Pumpikkus moves off and turns make into an inanimate object next to Tigen's bed. Tigen looks at Sadi through his monocle "Now, Tigen would like to discuss that promotion... Who do you think it should go to?"

I stick a straw in my tea so I can drink beneath my mask. "Hmms...I don't mind if it goes to you. A promotion would just mean more work for me." I sip my tea once more.

Tigen's monocle falls from his eye. A small teardrop of happiness, anger and sadness fell from Tigen's eyesocket "What?" Tigen was kinda shocked. "Tigen just... Tigen just set up this whole tea time for a long conversation... Perhaps with some table flipping... And You just let Tigen have it? You know what..." Tigen flips the table, then smiles and cries "OH THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH, SADI~! TIGEN WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN! Sniff sniff... Yes, Tigen just said Sniff Sniff..." Tigen wraps his scarf around Sadi and hugs her "Thanks, Sadi~!! Tigen should repay you with something..." Tigen would get it later. "You... You stay here while Tigen gets the word out to ZK. TIGEN WILL HAVE SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR YOU WHEN TIGEN GETS BACK!" There was a large and happy explosion of dimensional energy.

Blinking somewhat in surprise, I raise my hand to stop him and open my mouth to speak, but he dimensionally explodes away before I can. "Well...That...went well~." I shrug and lean back in the chair, making myself comfortable. With a glance around the room, I help myself to more tea and the snacks.

Pumpikkus comes to life once again and sits in the small child... chair across from Sadi, turning the flipped table right side up. "Well, Master Tigen is quite the fellow, isn't he? I will keep you some company until he makes his return, if you do not mind."

I nod cheerfully at the...pumptler? Servkin? Whatever ol dude could be considered. "Aa...Your master is quite the loon, but then...it's to be expected in this crazy ass village~." I sip at my straw and set my cup down on the now right side up table. "So, how long have you been in his service? Do you get paid much? How are the benefits?"

Pumpikkus shook his head "Ah, well... Where we come from, finances are of no concern. Practically nonexistant. We do not need payment for the servitude of our master... Nor a place to call our own. I speak for all of the pumpkins that thrive throughout the household." There were many hidden within the room at that very moment. "The benefits, you could say, are just being around him and living under his majestic home... It is also a benefit that we even have life at all. Do you wonder how we inanimate Pumpkin themed objects are given the ability of movement and life?" Pumpikkus sipped his tea.

I slide a tea cake under my mask and rock back in my chair, my tail wagging slightly. "Nope, but I'll ask anyways~. How are ya'll given movement and life?"

Pumpikkus put down his teacup "Do you see the flame inside of my head? Originally, this flame was just a normal flame incapable of providing life, however... When Tigen synchronized our flames, I was able to come to be. That is the sole reason why Tigen can transfer his thoughts and voice through us at any given time, just because a part of his flame is within us all." Pumpikkus made a slight cough. "But I digress... Madam, would you care to tell me about yourself?"

I nod as though I understand what he's saying though most of it goes in one ear and takes a wrong turn at Albuquerque. "Well, there's nothin really to say bout me. I'm first and formost a delivery nin my motto is bombs to birthday gifts I'll deliver them all~ I bake cakes and bombs and will grant any one wish as long as it's reasonable my hobbies are blowin stuff up and wreaking havoc in other dimensions and I hate bananas and lima beans." I breathe in after the runon sentence and eat another snack. "That enough?"

Pumpikkus' facial expression does not change. He stares at Sadira "... You remind me so much of the master... Just from that." Pumpikkus sighed "I wonder when he will be back... It is... odd actually interacting with a person other than him or his brother..."

I frown behind my mask and huff. "Odd is...a bad thing...?"

Pumpikkus shook his head "No, but... I usually only stay in the master's chambers, and no one really comes into here. He usually only takes me into the places where no one dares to go in his house..."

Tigen had randomly warped back in with a floating metallic box floating in front of him "Sadiii~ Tigen has a surprise for yoouuuu~!"

My hair and fur frizzes up in surprise at Tigen's entrance. I look between him and the box a few times before my eyes widen with tears of joy. "O. M. G~! Thank you! It's the prettiest box EVAR~! You really shouldn't have~!" I grab the box, nuzzling its pretty, metallic, shininess.

Tigen coughs "NOW, LET TIGEN EXPLAIN WHAT IT CAN DO!!! It is filled with complete Dimensional Energy! And when you press this button here..." Tigen refers to the button... "A huge ass cannonball of Dimensional Energy shoots out and makes a horrific explosion! Tigen knows how much you like explosions! Tigen has called this wonderful... wonder, The Box of Fate! Yaaaay!" Tigen wiggles his hands in pride as Pumpikkus reverts to his inanimate object form... Suddenly there was a loud and booming, almost explosion-like pounding from one of the doors... One special door in particular...

I look at the box before looking up at Tigen with teary eyes. "You mean...it actually does stuff...?" I sniff at the loss of a potential Pandora's Box, but then I realize what its use is. "Oh! It's like one of my bomb boxes, but a guaranteed boom~! Wondaful! Thanks guy~!" My ears twitch a few times at the sound and I hold them with a wince. Having sensitive ears sucks. "Aa...Dubya tee effe is that...?" I look at the door in confusion.

Tigen gasps, his flame dimming "Um... It seems that Tigen's brother is upset about something... Tigen suggests that you leave... Tigen's brother is... really not happy." Tigen twiddles his fingers a bit... He knew what Pumpkinhead could and would do.

I raise an eyebrow at that, but don't question it. I give Tigen a hug before pulling a warp box out. "Thanks again for the gift. See you round~!" With that, I hop into the box with my gift in hand. The box then folds in on itself and poofs outta reality.
