Clean Up Crew (Bean)

As soon as the latest mouthful of Megis was swallowed the gap where the consumed confectionary had once been would rapidly regenerate with another cluster of cream. Such was the magic that now swirled through the mountain. "AM NOT YOUR MOUNTAIN TO EAT!" Bean! retorted, his mannerisms indicated that he was attempting polite conversation, it just seemed he had no volume below shout.

Bean! didn't like this presidential fellow. He talked a lot, not as much as Jyushin, but Bean! was pretty sure there wasn't anyone else in the universe that talked as much as Jyushin did, but Megis still had that smarmy vibe about him. Like he was convinced everything he said was a hundred percent correct in every way.

However, he wanted to be civil, and so he would answer the other Majin's question. "ME AM CAPTAIN BEAN! ME AM LIVE ON COFFEE MOUNTAIN AND AM LOOK AFTER IT!" He explains. "IT AM NO NEED CLEANING, AND IT AM NO NEED REMOVING! IT AM NOT DIRTY, JUST DIFFERENT!" He puts his point forward, gesturing to the mountain and the tourists who were exploring its heights.

"YOU AM GONNA TELL CAPTAIN BEAN! THAT PEOPLE AM BE HAPPIER IF COFFEE MOUNTAIN AM NO LONGER HERE, CAPTAIN BEAN! AM NOT BELIEVE THAT FOR SECOND." He shook his head slowly. "MOUNTAIN AM SPECIAL, IT NO ROT. YOU AM FREE TO ENJOY SNACKS, BUT YOU NO EAT WHOLE MOUNTAIN."

Bean...Bean...Bean... This Megis guy kept saying his name wrong. Over and over again. Sure he got the Captain part right, the titles were all there. But he insisted on saying Bean instead of Bean!'s actual name...which was Bean! and not Bean.

This mispronounciation was upsetting, but wasn't worth throwing hands over. Perhaps the so-called future president just needed a gentle nudge in the correct way to say the name. "FIRST OF ALL, IT AM CAPTAIN BEAN! NOT CAPTAIN BEAN." He 'gently' corrects, slowly folding his arms. "AND TWO OF ALL ME AM VERY CALM! ME AM ENGAGE IN POLITE CONVER...CONVA...TALKY WITH YOU!"

Truth be told, his demeanour didn't betray any seething rage or growing anger. At worst he seemed mildly annoyed by Megis insistence to remain calm when he was already calm. Apart from the shouting, nothing really indicated that anything rageful or violent was soon to occur.

"IT AM NOT TAKE GENIUS TO SEE MOUNTAIN NO GO SMELLY! MOUNTAIN BE HERE FOR BIT NOW! IT NO SMELLY! BECAUSE MOUNTAIN MAGIC!" He explained, smiling smugly with a look of satisfaction reserved for someone who was absolutely sure that what they just said made absolute sense.

"COFFEE MOUNTAIN AM ALWAYS BE COFFEE MOUNTAIN AS FAR AS BEAN!...ER...CAPTAIN BEAN! AM KNOW!" That much was true. He had no knowledge of the Mountain prior to its transformation, due to him being birthed from the lingering magical energies that dwelled within the mountain afterwards. He had no knowledge on the being who had transformed it, despite the fact that they were for all intents and purposes, his parent.

Well that went swimmingly, chalk one win up for Bean! the Peacemaker, Master of Diplomacy and all things discussion. He would have to remember to make a little badge for himself to remind himself what a good job he had done today in negotiating with the not-President. Despite the odd and terrifying situation, he had kept his cool and delivered his point firmly but eloquently. And evidently he had convinced the other party of the validity of his argument.

It surely had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Megis believed this Vale guy was a much more pressing threat than the supposedly insane Majin on the Mountain. But any win is a win.

Not only that but Bean! had kept his secret identity safe. Despite being caught unprepared he had stopped Megis from figuring out that he Bean! was in fact the famous and heroic Captain Bean!. If such information was made public, it could be disastrous. Imagine the paparazzi flocking to the mountain to take pictures of his face and post the story all around the internet. But for now, he didn't have to worry. He was going to have to get his mask fixed though. He wondered if he could buy cereal without any money...

Well that was a problem for future Bean! Exiting his inner thoughts he turned to where Megis had been standing to deliver a witty closing line, only to see a trail of snow left by the other Majin as he rolled down the mountain. Bean! opened his mouth, then closed it again.

He was sure they'd meet again, for now though. He needed to try and learn how to sew bits of cape back together.
