new-ness!

I am actually scared!!!

Just make it quick, ok? And, yes, I’ll tell you anything you need to know.

wonders if she gave in too quickly

Oh, good!

Do you prefer cherry or lime-flavoured lube–

harmless! Stop nibbling on the newbie!

:: wheels out trebouchet ::
Hehe. This should be fun.

Finally!

Now then…

:: jots down quick list ::

Kythereia

Daithi

:: pulls out remote for RoboSquck Mark I ::

You seven? Once you finish with Improbability, you’d best strap on your running shoes. It’s payback time. :smiley: <–that should be a much eviler looking smiley.

I know what I’ll do! The Robogoat just disappeared, it’s not actually dead, and I’ve got the remote!

…um, Ana?..

Oh, for heaven’s sake, people? Have we become so jaded that we need machines to do our dirty work for us? When I joined here, we didn’t have no fancy-schmancy Robo-goats - we had real, live ones (plus, of course, felching straws) and real, live non-mutated squids!

Let’s get back to basics! We’ve got a vict - uh, “initiate” already shackled, so let’s do what we do best!

Now, then…

Daithi! No, don’t get the goat, he’s been turned into–
SQUAAAAALCK!
–the Squck! :eek:

Hi guys, it’s me again! Sorry to run off like that, but I had ummmm…, errands, yeah errands, that’s the ticket, errands to run,yeah.

Since Kytheria mentioned the squck, he’s bound to show up now. Should we call it the Monster Who Shall Remain Nameless? Seems safer that way.

Improbability, I hope your init-, I mean welcome, is not as,um, messy as mine! Hold your breath and think happy thoughts.

Your sig is distressingly appropriate, Daitha.

I don’t know where the Robogoat is. And the Squck only comes if you call it three times. Wait a minute, myself…Kythereia, sneezy5660…uh-oh.

:: drops the remote at **Hal’s ** feet and runs ::

flees with Anaamika

Should we run in all directions, or just in one direction?

Alright, now let’s–
SQUOAAARK
Oh, crap. I vote we get a new initiation center. And burn this one to the ground, burn the ashes, then scatter them across th four corners of the earth. Now!

Run in all directions! It can’t follow all of us!

Wusses. We’re about to see the epic battle of Squck Vs. RoboSquck, and you’re leaving?? Sheesh…that’d be like leaving Tokyo when Godzilla took on MechaGodzilla!
…waitaminute…

:eek:

Errr…Anaamika? Kythereia? I’m right behind ya.

What’s next, Space Squck?

I know what to do! I’m on his list anyway, so

:: trips **Hal ** right in the path of the oncoming Squcks ::

Let’s go Kythereia! **Hal ** will keep them busy!

This way! The exit’s over here! If we can just make–

the Robo-Squck gives a huge bellow as it charges amorously at the Squck, thrashing its tail and smashing the door in

Oh no. :eek:

Wait…the Squck’s a girl?!

Er…

Shit.

:: double underlines Anaamika’s name on The List ::

Waitaminute! Why am I running for cover??

:: Zips down secret, hidden corridor leading to the Evil Overlord Observation Room Of Evil ::

Ahhh…front row seats…Squck? RoboSquck? Gedditon!

Oh, this is so bad… moaning, hands over eyes

…wait…

…is it doing… is the Robo-Squck doing a mating dance?
