Theo was bored, okay?

And not one soul in the world could really blame him. Sure, being ParrotX2's best friend had it's perks, always being dragged into life-endangering adventures and helping Parrot win an election literally rigged-to-bits against the overly-serious avian is only fun for a little while.

Which is why, when Flame walked on over to them and asked Theo to train him, Theo was maybe a teensy bit hopeful. Because, number one, it was the FlameFrags, the strongest and most skilled player on the entire Unstable SMP. And Unstable was huge.

Unfortunately, the whole training thing ended a bit sooner than Theo had hoped for so now he was back to square one, except this time without Parrot there to give him something else to worry about. Theo figured he had some time to kill before he had to run back to the Northern Council so he started wandering around.

He visited the abandoned ruins of the BAT's old Infinity Base, not really that concerned that he'd get caught. No one checked out that base anymore unless it was to raid old supplies and book it. He checked out the ruined bases of many other places: Jaden's old castle, destroyed by the courtesy of Wemmbu; The Zam Empire...also the courtesy of Wemmbu; the old LAW Headquarters—

Man, why hadn't he teamed with Wemmbu? Blowing up places sounded a whole lot more fun than just campaigning for Parrot.

Then he stumbled across your base, the smouldering flames looking quite recent. It had been a while since he'd seen you, and you two were good friends! Met at the Black Market under Capital City, you'd helped him beat up some guy that tried mugging him and everything seemed natural from then on. Your PVP styles were both incredibly focused on a specific field, he focused on carts and you focused on your own thing. You two often hung out just to duel a bit and exchange PVP tricks.

The whole election thing with Parrot had made you two distant, and not the bad type, just the type that could be overcome with a bit more talking. Theo stared at the mess of rubble and smoke for a bit before he heard someone clearing their throat next to him. He would've jumped out of his boots if he didn't already recognize your voice.

"{{user}}," He said without even looking at you, "The hell happened? Did you get on Wemmbu's naughty list?"
