I thought I was a newbie, but Noooo!

Well, given that the Monster Bread is in the pool in the Squid Storage Room with the Other Squid, its lifespan is probably limited. (Monster Bread doesn’t hold up well in water, but it’s too stupid to realise that.)

I think Mariah sould be okay… she’s probably only needs some rest and then a nice snack or two.

Regallag, I think this whole thing has been sneezy’s initiation. But if you feel something more traditional is alos necessary, we can accomodate that.

No, this is probably OK. I was just making sure about it.

flops down on couch, exhausted Zeus, I’d kill for a good goblet of ambrosia, where’s Ganymede when you–

loud thump from downstairs, sound of–hooves?

sits upright We didn’t leave… the goat… down there… right?

Right?

Damnit, please someone tell me that it’s just the goat, and not some kind of giant goat, or mutated goat, or evil samurai-master goat.

Given the way half the doors around here are hanging off their hinges, I think the goats took things into their own hands, so to speak.

But that reminds me. Let’s go down to the mountain door and sit on the grass. Maybe we can seak away and be free of this place.

:: They get up and go out through the stairwell. In the lower room, they find the goat. ::

How did that goat get down the stairs?

They can climb hills, you know.

But that’s mountain goats, not regular goats!!

:: The mountain door is still open… but what a difference. A steady rain is falling outside, and the great trees on the far valley slope are vailed in grey mist. A sharp humid wind blows into the room. The door is banging back and forth between the jamb and the rock that holds it open. The goat seems reluctant to go near it. ::

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m finished!

Um, did you say hooves ? Are those goats or are they centaurs? With Kytheria around, all sorts of mythological critters are bound to show up.

Can Kraken and Medusa be far behind?

I think we already had Kraken’s little brother in the Squid Storage Room… and yeah, Kythereia kinda has a mythological effect on people. :slight_smile:

[sub]So, sneezy5660 thinks it’s all over, eh?[/sub]

:: The rain outside has ceased, and an early morning sun shines in through the mountain door. ::

:: It’s time to go exploring… ::

:: Sneezy puts on her walking shoes and Indy style fedora, and follows Sunspace through the mountain door. ::

:: Calls out to Kytheria and the rest, Hey you guys!:::

walks innocently into the room

Hey, guys! What’s going on here? Where’s everybody going?

Up the misty mountain
Down the rushy glen
We daren’t go a-hunting
For fear of little men…

Hmm? Oh, nothing. Right! Everyone got their hiking boots and walking sticks? O foam-fleck’d goddess, you’ve got your arrows? Someone got trail mix?

Let’s roll.

And they proceed out into a new world.

:slight_smile:

Time for another adventure. And this time, no squck. In fact, I’ll kill any duck or suid that I see. And we can leave this whole ordeal (and possibly thos thread) in the past.

Hey, can’t I come?

puts on pretty pleading face

Please?

pssssst You guys don’t want to follow. Trust me on this. They are taking **sneezy ** to the mumble mumble… and then they’re gonna… mumble… with tubes… mumble… and an ox… mumble… so, yeah, its gonna get ugly.

:eek:

Um, I just remembered a pressing engagement. Yeah…that’s the ticket. I’ll just get out of your way…

slips unobtrusively to the door

Hey, guys. Do you hear something?

GRONK!

Listen. It’s coming from over there. And it’s getting closer.

GRONK!

What the hell is that thing? And why does it look so pissed?

GRONK!
Oh, shit…

If that’s a giant, mutated goose, I swear, something is getting kiled!

Geese don’t go “GRONK”. It’s…

GRONK

…seen us.

Run! Back into the room! It’s downhill from us!
