CHAPTER SIX: A NON-RANDOM
HAVEN IN THE TOWER OF RANDOMNESS…


Ky and Jam, weary from their ceaseless travel in Meltarr’s hellish Tower of Randomness, wind up at a room with two doors. One of the doors has a sign that reads “SIXTH FLOOR”. The other door merely has a star drawn on it.

Ky: So, what do you think?

Jam: I don’t know. Who knows what could be behind this star door?

Ky: On the other hand, could it be any worse than the crap we might face on the sixth floor?

Jam: Good point…

Ky: Star door?

Jam: Star door.

Ky: Cool.

They open the door and enter the room. Inside, it appears to be a temple of sorts.

Ky: … This is different…

Jam: To say the least.

Ky draws his Thunderseal.

Ky: Be on your guard.

Jam: Of course.

Just then, a young man about Ky’s age walks in.

Ky: Hey! *points sword*

Man: Wait. *raises hands*

Ky: I wants answers! Who you is and who you with!?

Man: Calm down, I’m not your enemy.

Jam: We don’t know that!

Ky: We wants proof!

Man: I swear, I’m your ally! My name is Feltarr!

Ky: Meltarr!

Feltarr: No! Not Meltarr! Feltarr! I’m his brother!

Jam: Why the hell should we trust Meltarr’s brother!?

Feltarr: I’m not like Meltarr! I’m good!

Ky: … Who’s your favorite Backstreet Boy?

Feltarr: They all suck!

Ky: Do stamps rule or suck?

Feltarr: Suck!

Ky: Fonzie or Greg Brady?

Feltarr: Fonzie!

Jam: Dragons or phoenixes?

Feltarr: Phoenixes!

Jam: Shirts or skins?

Feltarr: Shirts!

Ky: Who’s the greatest writer in the world?

Feltarr: Eiji Moriyuki!

Jam: Screwball or shtick?

Feltarr: Shtick!

Ky: Coke or Pepsi?

Feltarr: Pepsi! Always Pepsi!

Jam: Yankees or Red Sox?

Feltarr: Red Sox!

Ky: Steak with fries or steak with toast?

Feltarr: Fries, man! Fries!

Jam: Freddie Prinze Jr. or Matt Damon?

Feltarr: Matt Damon! “Bagger Vance” was awesome!

Ky: His story checks out.

Jam: Indeed.

Ky: *sheathes sword* Sorry about that. You never know who you can trust in this stupid tower.

Jam: We were just protecting ourselves.

Feltarr: I understand.

Ky: I’m Officer Ky Kiske. This is Jam Kuradoberi.

Feltarr: My no good brother must be making you climb this god-forsaken tower.

Ky: Of course.

Jam: I am going to kick his ass. Just so we’re clear.

Ky: Yeah. Me too.

Feltarr: Understood.

Ky: So, why are you here?

Feltarr: I keep watch over this sanctuary.

Jam: Why?

Feltarr: This place is a haven from the randomness of Meltarr’s tower. His asinine rules hold no sway here.

Ky: So, that whole “no sex” thing is powerless here.

Jam: Really?

Feltarr: That’s correct.
Ky: So, Jam and I could…

Feltarr: If you wished.

Ky: … I like this place already.

Feltarr: All who enter here do. You may stay here the night.

Ky: Thank you. *bows*

That night, in the guest’s quarters…

Jam: Um, Ky, I know that we wanted to do this before. But my hormones have calmed down considerably since then.

Ky: …

Jam: Um, why are looking at me like that?

Ky: …

Jam: Ky, I like you as a friend. And I don’t want to ruin our friendship. One night of passion won’t make up for the-

Ky pounces on Jam, interrupting her protest. Outside.

Feltarr: Hmm…

Feltarr approaches the guest room.

Jam: Wait… don’t do that… Don’t touch me there… *giggles* Hey, don’t reach in that… No one gets to touch me there… I’m not supposed to do things like this, I have a reputation… Wait, no… not yet. You’re nasty… Oh yeah? Like that? Call me a bitch… Do that…

Feltarr: Oh shit, son… Go, officer.

Feltarr walks away whistling. The next morning…

Feltarr: Have fun?

Ky: *blushing* No, just sleep…

Jam: *also blushing* Yeah, sleep…

Feltarr: Sure.

Ky: You uh, ready to go?

Jam: Uh, sure.

And so, they resume their journey, minus the unbearable sexual tension.
