Thanks, 4I.
Hey Rad, nice sig BTW, just tell me if I didn't get the way your magic works right. I need to know these things.

Copper blinked at the suddenly deserted alleyway. "Alright, Radium, where'd you stick 'em?"
"I'm not sure," Radium said thoughtfully. "I think I sent them where I put Syloph, but I'm not positive."
"Syloph."
"You know, the stupid mouse who decided to attack me. Let them figure out how to free her. I don't have that kind of time, and neither do you."
"True. I saw that one guy get away. How'd that happen?"
"I don't know," Radium said, a bit irritably. "I can't keep track of everything, you know. I'm only superhuman."
Copper gave him one her her special You-Can't-Be-Serious-So-I'm-Not-Going-To-Believe-You looks at the same time that Claw said, "why don't I believe you?"
"Well, maybe not," he admitted. "But you can't blame me for trying."
"It was a good try," Copper agreed. "Smooth, I'll give you that. But you're no Beren, Radium."
"How do you know?"
"Because you're on our side," Kaz said cheerily. "Obviously you have lost your senses if you're hanging out with us. This disqualifies you."
"Beren was insane too," Claw reminded Kaz.
"Oh. Right. Well, Beren was evil and insane. Rad's good and insane. There's a difference."
"I'm not insane," Radium protested. "A little illogical at times, yes. But I think I've managed to keep my sanity pretty intact."
"Not if you're here," Crystal said with a smirk. Radium groaned.
"I'm outnumbered. I'm doomed to failure."
"Since when has that stopped you?" Defalcon demanded, getting a frustrated look from the Chaos Mage.
"Alright, fine," Radium said. "I give in. But I'm not insane. I'm irrational, illogical, incomprehensible as well as unpredictable, but I'm definitely not insane."
"So you're not giving in," KRSplat pointed out. Copper chortled.
"The truth is beyond us," Claw said. "Clearly he will not give in, but we cannot prove his insanity completely. Therefore we must gather more conclusive evidence before we make our case."
"I guess so," Kaz agreed. "Once we do, can we convict him?"
"What?" Radium said, obviously confused. "Convict me of what?"
"Insanity and unsuperhumanness."
"Oh. Give up now before you fail, Kaz."
"The evidence points against you, Rad," Evaluator said, appearing beside him. Radium glared at him.
"One of these days I'm going to remove that ability," he threatened. "It's incredibly annoying."
"I thought I was incredibly annoying," Kaz objected.
"You are. So is he."
"You'll have to catch me first," Evaluator taunted. Radium growled.
"Won't be hard. Just wait. No I'm not telling you."
Evaluator vanished, but his voice came back. "You don't have to. I won't let you."
"Try to stop me."
"Radium, you're talking to thin air," Defalcon noted. "This is evidence against your sanity."
"If I'm insane, can I stay?"
"Sure," Copper said. "Insane people are as welcome as sane people. In fact, in your case, it doesn't matter if you're sane or insane. We like you anyway."
"Well, for now anyway," Claw added. Radium made a face.
"So nice to know I'm welcomed. So where are we going now?"
"Hellantra," Defalcon declared at the same time as Acid.
"It's agreed then," Kaz said with a shudder. "Hellantra ..."
