Blast to the Past, Part 11

Remind Me... My Name is What, Again?

A helpful recap of the story:

<SypherSK> And,.. We last left our heroes... ::cracks knuckles in preparation for a recap::
<MatrixSK> What happened last? The real T-Bone was trapped behind the waterfall whilst Pasty posed as him?
<Giant_sk> argh! im disturbed now...
<SypherSK> The PastMaster won.... sorta. MegaKat City has been reverted to the Dark Ages and, for a brief time, eveyone believed it really was the Dark Ages. Now, thanks to our intrepid (and deranged) band of heroes, the spell is collapsing and all that needs to be done is destroy the last few magic mirrors a few kats carry...
<MatrixSK> ::gives Kris Stix and LOTS of water::
<SypherSK> Only Pastie grabbed T-Bone and bound them with a spell so that he looks like T-Bone and can even play the part rather well... An unfortunate side effect is that T-Bone, to an extent, knows what he's up to and even trapped behind a barrier has managed to tell Trina and send her to warn the others before they take Pastie right to Callista/Callie.
<SypherSK> ::takes Stix and water:: T'ankies!
<MatrixSK> Isn't she great, folks?! Let's give 'er a big hand!! ::claps!::
<CaptainQ> ((<TrenchKat> Stix?? where's my Huskvaarna?))
<SypherSK> ((::meeps as a giant hand descends on her::))
<MatrixSK> ((::tackles Trench, beats with a pillow::))
<CaptainQ> ((<TrenchKat> Ack! I am be-foiled!))
<MatrixSK> ((::dies!::))
<MatrixSK> ((Aaaaaaand, start? Who wants to turn on the RPG light?))
<SypherSK> ((<Sage> Actually, you're be-pillowed, but lets not be technical.))
<SypherSK> ((MeMeMe!!! ::flipsswitchonthereitgoeshahait'sonnow!::))
<CaptainQ> ((oh, well aren't YOU ky00te. ;OP ))
<SypherSK> ((No, I'm crazy.))
<MatrixSK> ((::just flops back and DIIIIIIIIES!!::))
*** MatrixSK is now known as SirRazorSK
*** SypherSK is now known as T-BoneWannaBe
<SirRazorSK> ((::cracks up at the nick::))

<T-BoneWannaBe> ::has been bugging Razor about speeding up ever since he knows T-Bone told Trina what was up::
<SirRazorSK> We're going as fast as we can, Bud... What's the hurry?
<T-BoneWannaBe> I... have a bad feeling.
<SirRazorSK> ::blinks: About what?
<T-BoneWannaBe> Just... I don't know... That something mighta happened to Callis... Callie.
<SirRazorSK> ::frowns:: But... they took her to a safer spot...
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::shrugs:: I just.. have a feeling...
<SirRazorSK> ::frowns, eyes narrowed. Trusts his friend enough to believe every word:: You think... the spell may've taken effect again on the guards?
<T-BoneWannaBe> Possibly.... We know we didn't smash all the mirrors...
<SirRazorSK> There's a few left...we just don't know where they are...
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::nods:: Anything could still happen.
<SirRazorSK> ::nods, motions his horse to ride a bit faster:: C'mon... ::gallops down the raod::
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::rides after with a smile::
<Trina> ::inna meantime:: What I wouldn't do for a radio right now. ::pauses at a fork in the road:: Great... which way now? ::thinkthinks:: Well... they say the shorter way guarantees the goal...sometimes... ::motions the horse, goes down that way::
<T-BoneWannaBe> ((<Trina> ::takes the high road while they're on the low road... spies the fake T-Bone from above and leaps to tackle him off his horse... knocking him to the ground:: <SirRazorSK> ::rides back to them to find T-Bone holding Trina inna sort of hug:: Trina?! Is everything okay?! <T-Bone> She's fine! Just that eager to see us again! <Trina> Mmmmph!!!!))
<SirRazorSK> ((::dead::))
<RealT-Bone> ::knows they sped up:: CRUD! ::bangs his fist into the magical barrier again:: C'mon, Razor... See through him....
<SirRazorSK> ::pauses on top of a hill looking down:: I think we're almost there...
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::pulls up by him and nods lest he give himself away speaking::
<Sypher> ::as they stop, looks to Trix as he speaks with him mentally:: <Ever figure out what was bothering you earlier?>
<Matrix> <No... I just can't... find it... It's still there...>
<Sypher> <Hmmm...> ::looks out with narrowed eyes... can't even see any kats at this range... of course, the magic's cut his connections to satellites so he can only see as far as his slightly enhanced eyesight goes::
<T-BoneWannaBe> Well, let's continue.
<SirRazorSK> :motions the horse down the hill:: Yes.. before we... ::pauses:: Do you... smell smoke?
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::sniffs:: Yes...
<SirRazorSK> ::eyes narrowed:: Sure hope nothing's ::as fire passes over their heads:: wrong? ::looks up::
<Dragon> ::roar, etc. breathe fire, yadda::
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::blinks at the dragon:: <Blast you. Go away!>
<T-BoneWannaBe> ((<Pastie> Bad dragon! Bad!))
<Dragon> ::doesn't seem to listen to his "master," charges at them with a barrage of fire::
<SirRazorSK> ((::dies::))
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::dives for cover::
<SirRazorSK> ::leaps off his horse, sends it off to protect itself, runs behind a rock::
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::follows Razor::
<SirRazorSK> Crud! How come we didn't hear this thing coming?!
<T-BoneWannaBe> I... I.. don't know! <How come I didn't SENSE it coming?!>
<SirRazorSK> ::growls:: Drat it, Pasty...
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::just stops himself from growling, "Don't call me that!"::
<SirRazorSK> We gotta try to stop that thing!
<SirRazorSK> ::looks around for an alternative::
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::while he looks, turns to the dragon... waves a hand at it quickly, summoning his powers::
<Matrix> <Crud! There it is again! And, it's even stronger than before!>
<T-BoneWannaBe> ((<Dragon> ::is immediately turned into a cooked turkey like in old Bugs Bunny toons:: <SirRazorSK> ::turns to see the giant turkey:: That's new... <Villagers> FOOD!!! ::charge with forks and knives::))
<SirRazorSK> ((::DEAD:))
<CaptainQ> ((has retunedethed))
<SirRazorSK> ((Oooooo.. new word! WB, BTW! ;)))
<CaptainQ> ((hehe, thankee))
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::waves his hand again::
<Matrix> <SY! Don't you feel it?!>
<Dragon> ::pauses, roars, sprouts its wings::
<Sypher> <No.....>
<T-BoneWannaBe> ((Sprouts wings?))
<T-BoneWannaBe> ((It was flying and didn't have them before?))
<SirRazorSK> ((It was walking...))
<T-BoneWannaBe> ((Ah...))
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::blinks:: <Wings? That's not what I... What is happening?!>
<Dragon> ::blows fire anew, then takes flight, and issa going, going, gone::
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::sighs in some relief::
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::but is still confused... his spells aren't working right::
<SirRazorSK> ::blinks at that:; That... was rather odd... ::didn't notice what T-Bone did::
<Matrix> <It's gone... ::sighs:: What's wrong with me?>
<T-BoneWannaBe> Very...
<SirRazorSK> ::shakes his head, whistles for his horse:: C'mon. We've wasted a lot of time... Pasty's bound to strike again at any time...
<T-BoneWannaBe> <Only once he figures out what's wrong with his power!>
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::whistles for his own horse absently::
<SirRazorSK> ::gets on his horse, motions it to go down the hill:: Ha!
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::hops on his own and follows::
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::is pensive::
<Trina> ::still on the trail... um... ends up bumping into a random... enforcertypeknight? Anybody?::
*** CaptainQ is now known as SirPrize

<T-BoneWannaBe> ((::DEAD!::))
<SirPrize> ((y'know, that needed to be good, I couldn't decide on that or SirCumfrence))
<SirPrize> ((a very weighty fellow))
<SirRazorSK> ((::is 6ft under::))
<T-BoneWannaBe> ((::DEADDEAD!::))
<SirPrize> ((so, whaddya want me to do?))
<Trina> ::blinks, slows her horse to a canter::
<SirRazorSK> ((Um... "SirPrize" me. Anything you feel should be fitting to the plot::))
<SirRazorSK> ((:runs for her life after the pun::))
<T-BoneWannaBe> ((::DEAD!::))
<SirPrize> ((uhmm...I'll just stop her))
<SirRazorSK> ((Okay..))
<SirPrize> ::stands in the middle of the trail::
<T-BoneWannaBe> ((<SirPrize> STOP! ::pauses, starts to sing:: In the name of love!))
<SirRazorSK> ::whispers to her horse to stop and looks at him:: Oh... please tell me you're not one of the Knights of Ni.

<SirPrize> ((oh come now. The name is bad enough))
<SirPrize> Stop! I order you in the name of...
<SirPrize> ho boy. uhm...::takes out a book::

<T-BoneWannaBe> ::is thinking heavily:: <What could be happening?>
<LadyTrinaSK> ::claps a hand against her head::
<LadyTrinaSK> Callista?
<SirPrize> of...no wait, I'll remember!
<SirPrize> uhm...where are you going?
<LadyTrinaSK> ::in one of those goofy moments, exchanges a look with her horse::
<LadyTrinaSK> I'm heading off to warn my friends. They're in grave danger. The Pastmaster is among them.
<Horse> ::snorts in agreement::
<SirPrize> Pastmaster? oh...need help?
<T-BoneWannaBe> ((<Trina> ::grabs horse:: YOU aren't someone I know, are you?!))
<SirRazorSK> ::pauses at a raging river, horse steps back::
<LadyTrinaSK> ((::dies!::))
<LadyTrinaSK> I could use some, Mr... Uh... Sir...
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::trots up behind him, still thinking::
<SirRazorSK> Drat... the horse is too scared to cross...
<SirPrize> Prize!
<LadyTrinaSK> Sir Prize?
<SirPrize> Correct. Sir Prize, at your service. ::bows chivalrously::
<T-BoneWannaBe> ((<Pastie> Don't look at me. I don't part seas.))
<LadyTrinaSK> ((::dies::))
<SirPrize> Defender of the procrastinant, and although short on memory, I am without lack of courage!
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::looks at the water:: We have to get across!
<LadyTrinaSK> ::nods:: Lady Trina. I'm... what you call a leader of ravaging rebels and protector of Queen Callista.
<T-BoneWannaBe> ((<Pastie> Dunno 'bout you, but I can't drown. No lungs. Here, I'll ride on ahead....))
<SirPrize> Callista! yes!
<SirRazorSK> Well, we can't just have the horses cross just like that... they'll drown.... :;begins to think::
<LadyTrinaSK> ::blinks:: You just remembered her name?
<T-BoneWannaBe> Right.
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::looks up and down the stream::
<SirPrize> ::flips through his book:: ...and at last, the long awaited struggle with the terror shall pass...uhm...::flipflip:: ...The protector of the sacred chalice, and royal petty cash!
<SirPrize> yeah. Mind if I join you?
<T-BoneWannaBe> ((::DIES!::))
<LadyTrinaSK> ((::is loooooooong gone!::))
<LadyTrinaSK> ::rubs her eyes::
<Horse> ::lets out a sort of sigh... yes, he's a Disney type horse... he thinks as well!::
<LadyTrinaSK> I don't see why not. I'm in serious need of back-up. Which is the fastest way to the Pastmaster's tower?
<SirPrize> Pastmaster? uhm...
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::points:: There's a shallow point there....
<SirPrize> I don't know of a "Pastmaster"...but what about that mysterious tower over there? ::points::
<SirRazorSK> :nods: Better than nothing... c'mon. ::leads his horse::
<LadyTrinaSK> ::looks out:: Is it near a cemetary?
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::follows::
<SirRazorSK> C'mon... ::tugs on his horse's reins:: C'mon... it's not too deep... ::as he goes into the rapids::
<Horse> ::resists, is freaking out:
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::is trying to get his horse to follow when he sees something large coming from upstream... and his connection to T-Bone suddenly overwhelms him:: RAZOR!!!
<SirPrize> dunno. I was just...uhm...balancing his Majesty's checkbook. Yeah, and there was this tower, over there...I was just taking a walk.
<SirPrize> NOT slacking off, mind you.
<SirRazorSK> What? ::looks up towards the something::
<T-BoneWannaBe> ((<Trina> You balance the royal checkbook? <SirPrize> ::nods:: I take a few bags out of the treasury to even up the weight, you see....))
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::forces the horse in after Razor::
<LadyTrinaSK> I'll bet...that's probably where it is... ::motions her horse:: And, that's where they probably are. Let's get going...
<SirPrize> ::gets on his horse to follow::
<SirRazorSK> Wha?! :falls back, hits his head hard, issa out::
<LadyTrinaSK> ::gallops out towards the tower::
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::leaps off the horse to scoop him up... and... isn't really sure what happens next... ends up on the riverbank with Razor and the horses::
<Razor's Horse> ::nudges the unconscious kat::
<Razor's Horse> ::with the nose:
<T-BoneWannaBe> ((<Razor's Horse> ::gently kicks Razor in the head... with his hoof::))

<Sypher> <I know...> ::is heading his horse that way::
<Matrix> ::goes after::
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::just stares at Razor lying there::
<Razor's Horse> ::nudgenudgeRazor, is getting worried::
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::is suddenly fully T-Bone:: Razor? ::hurries over by him::
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::kneels by Razor and checks his pulse::
<SirRazorSK> ::stirs::
<T-BoneWannaBe> Razor?
<SirRazorSK> Huh?
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::seeing his eyes open, quickly starts to tell him:: Razor.. I... ::gets cut off as Pastie takes over again::
<SirRazorSK> ::sits up, rubs his head:: T-Bone?
<T-BoneWannaBe> Yeah?
<SirRazorSK> What... happened?
<T-BoneWannaBe> <What was THAT?! Blast! The spell is backfiring!>
<T-BoneWannaBe> You almost drowned.
<T-BoneWannaBe> Well... After you fell off your horse.
<SirRazorSK> :blinks:: Fell off my horse?
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::nods:: And, hit your head.
<SirRazorSK> But... I wasn't riding my horse when we... were trying to cross the stream...
<T-BoneWannaBe> Yes, you were...
<SirRazorSK>No.. ::is sure of this:: I was trying to pull him across... then you... yelled about something...
<T-BoneWannaBe> <Why did I say he was on the blasted horse?!>
<T-BoneWannaBe> Well... We're safe on the other side now.
<SirRazorSK> ::blinks at that:: Yeah...
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::nods::
<LadyTrinaSK> ::pulls her horse to a stop as it becomes uneasy:: What is it?
<Horse> ::cowers back::
<Sypher> ::arrives:: You two okay?
<SirRazorSK> ::feels something odd... something's wrong...::
<Matrix> ::is with them, and feels something again::
<SirRazorSK> ::rubs his head:; Yeah...
<SirPrize> eh?
<Sypher> Head hurt? ::hops off his horse to kneel by Razor::
<SirRazorSK> I think I hit it hard at one point...
<LadyTrinaSK> Is this the right trail? My horse doens't seem to want to continue...
<Sypher> ::goes acoherent and merges with Razor:: <Lemme see if I can't patch you up...>
<SirRazorSK> <Thanks Sy...>
<Sypher> <Anytime. ::grins, goes to work::>
<Matrix> ::is feeling uneasy, stays away from T-Bone for the moment::
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::avoids him too::
<SirRazorSK> :rubs his head::
<Sypher> <::as he works:: Sense anything odd going on? Trix is worried...> ::takes Razor acoherent too to fix the wound::
<SirRazorSK> <Odd? Worried? About what?>
<Sypher> <He's sensing something strange every now and then...>
<SirRazorSK> <Did he specify?>
<Sypher> <He can't pinpoint it.> ::solidifies Razor::
<SirRazorSK> <Hrm... >
<Sypher> <Any ideas?>
<SirRazorSK> <Well.... T-Bone was acting rather odd...>
<Sypher> <T-Bone?>
<SirRazorSK> <Yeah... mentioned something about... me riding my horse when I wasn't... and he was rather uneasy about Callista at one point...>
<Sypher> <Weird... ::thinks:: There could be a connection, you know...>
<SirRazorSK> <Connection?>
<Sypher> <Trix is tied to T-Bone like I'm tied to you.>
<SirRazorSK> <So... there's something about T-Bone...>
<Sypher> <Yeah....>
<SirRazorSK> ::eyes narrow:: <We'll find out...>
<Sypher> ::leaps out::
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::is staring off into space on the side::
<SirRazorSK> T-Bone?
<T-BoneWannaBe> Hmm? ::turns:: All done?
<SirRazorSK> Yeah... ::grins:: You okay, bud?
<T-Bone> Yeah. ::grins back:: I'm not the one that fell on his head.
<SirRazorSK> Har har. ::grins:: C'mon. Let's get back on the trail.
<LadyTrinaSK> ::after much coaxing, finally has her horse move on::
<T-BoneWannaBe> Right. ::mounts his horse::
<Matrix> <I don't like this...>
<Sypher> <Hmm... Razor thinks T-Bone's acting funny....>
<Matrix> <T-Bone?>
<Sypher> <Yeah...>
<Matrix> <That might be it...>
<Sypher> <Hmm.. Why don't you merge with him?>
<Matrix> <No time like the present...> :goes acoherent, zaps into T-Bone:
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::blinkblinks:: <WHAT?!>
<Matrix> <T-Bone?>
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::shivers:: <It's in my mind?!> ::not even talking to Trix, surely doesn't feel like T-Bone::
<Matrix> ::frowns:: <T-Bone? Chance?!>
<T-BoneWannaBe> ((<Pastie/T-Bone> <Get out of my mind, you abomination! <Trix> ::lower lip quivers, eyes go huge:: You don't love me anymore, Daddy?))

<Matrix> <Chance?!>
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::wants him out, fights... doesn't know how he got in... he couldn't have normally:

<T-BoneWannaBe> ::blinkblinkblinks::
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::almost grabs Trix before he can say anything::

<T-BoneWannaBe> ::decides that would be too obvious::
<Matrix> ::huddles into himself, is scared::
<Sypher> <Trix? What're you doin'? ::knows what Trix disscovered and moves to find a way to tell Razor discreetly::>
<T-BoneWannaBe> Uhm... Matrix? ::trying to keep up the ruse... maybe... just maybe...::
<Matrix> ::somehow can't talk, starts to whimper::
<Sypher>::pauses:: <Trix?!>
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::dismounts and picks Trix up:: <Well, SOMEthing worked...>
<T-BoneWannaBe> ((<Trix> ::gives him the eyes:: <Pastie> That won't work on ME! <Trix> ::cries:: <Pastie> I'm not buying it, you brat. <Trix> ::sobs into his shirt:: <Pastie> Here now.. .You're getting me wet... Don't.. .Don't use those eyes! You stop that!))

<Sypher> <S'okay.. Just let me tell Razor and we'll find the real T-Bone, okay?>
<SirPrize> Forsooth!
<SirPrize> ...uhm, there WHO are, m'lady?

<T-BoneWannaBe> ((<Trina> And, that's the short list.))
<SirPrize> Sir...T-Bone? I see. That is quite a feat of mirage, if I might say so. Is he a sorcerer of sorts?
<LadyTrinaSK> ((ROFL!!))
<LadyTrinaSK> ((who he? ::to CQ::))
<T-BoneWannaBe> ((<Knights> What about us? <Cap'n> Uhm... Due to the sugar-high muns being less than hyper, the giant cast of knights and rebels will also be cut down to just the core cast. Thanks.))

<LadyTrinaSK> ((Ah!))
<LadyTrinaSK> An evil sorcerer at that.

<SirPrize> My goodness, they do pop up like weeds, don't they? ::chuckle::
<LadyTrinaSK> ::even she has to grin: All the time...
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::uhm... horse stumbles - horse is fine - all animal action in this production was monitored by the Humane Society of America - and he flies over its head::

<SirPrize> halt, sorceror! Your days of treachery are over!

<T-BoneWannaBe> Wha'... ::breathing heavily, voice patterns still like T-Bone's even though he's not acting::

<T-BoneWannaBe> ::ignores him:: Wha'... What is happenin' to me?!
<SirPrize> speak, lest we do not-so-nice things to you, and then eat nice little cakes and let you watch
<SirRazorSK> Once more, Pasty... Where's T_Bone?!
<LadyTrinaSK> ((::Diesdead, CQ!:: Now there's torture...))
<SirPrize> but not give you any of course!
<T-BoneWannaBe> She knows! ::points to Trina::
<T-BoneWannaBe> ((::dies!::))
<SirRazorSK> ::looks up at her::
<LadyTrinaSK> ::eyes narrowed:: Behind the water fall near the cave where we had that last battle..
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::tries to use his magic to get away... nothing happens:: NO!
<SirRazorSK> What is happening?
<T-BoneWannaBe> I... I... I'm becoming this blasted mortal!
<SirPrize> hahaha! Cower before the mighty Sir Prize! Protector of...
<LadyTrinaSK> :eyes wide:: He's becoming T-Bone completely! We can't let him do that! We have to get the real T-Bone out!
<SirPrize> ::gets out his little book again::
<Sypher> ::joining them:: That would hurt T-Bone? I mean, aside from having two of him...
<Trina's Horse> ::sighs heavily at Sir Prize::
<LadyTrinaSK> It wouldn't be the same T-Bone. It'll be Pastmaster trapped inside T-Bone's body...
<SirPrize> ::flipflip..."Therefore, when using armor polish, do not look directly at the reflection lest thou become blinded for a time"...no...
<Sypher>But, can that hurt T-Bone?
<T-BoneWannaBe> ((::dies Cap'n!::)
<LadyTrinaSK> ((::DEAD!!::))
<T-BoneWannaBe> It'll hurt ME!
<T-BoneWannaBe> Make it stop!
<LadyTrinaSK> He's already been feeling everything thus far. He may've felt that fall from where he's from...
<T-BoneWannaBe> ((I don' wanna play this game anymore! I wanna go home! Make it stop, Mommy!))
<SirPrize> ho-ho! And now we see the truth! uhm...
<T-BoneWannaBe> ((<SirPrize> Tho' I'm not sure what truth.. But, rest assured it's bound to be profound!))
<LadyTrinaSK> ((::DEAD!!::))
<SirRazorSK> We have to get back...
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::mutters, tries to make it stop::
<T-BoneWannaBe> I can't reverse it!
<SirRazorSK> Wadda ya' mean you can't reverse it?!
<SirPrize> ::backhands the sorceror:: cease your enchantments, evil one! Justice has prevailed!
<T-BoneWannaBe> I'm becoming mortal! Losing my powers! I can't do anything!
<T-BoneWannaBe> Ow! ::as he's backhanded, rubs his cheek.. hasn't felt pain in.. oh... a thousand years::
<SirRazorSK> There has to be another way!
<T-BoneWannaBe> There's a spellbook in my tower...
<LadyTrinaSK> How can we rest assured it will work?
<T-BoneWannaBe> Because I hardly want to be mortal and powerless!
<LadyTrinaSK> I rest my case...
<SirRazorSK> Then we'll take you to your book of spells... and you're gonna bring my partner back...
<T-BoneWannaBe> He'll be freed as soon as the spell's removed! Just hurry!
<SirRazorSK> ::looks at Trina and Sy::
<LadyTrinaSK> Think you can zap me over there? :to Sy::
<Sypher> I don't have a conductor.
<LadyTrinaSK> ((::gives him Leopold:: There's your conductor. Start playing!))
<T-BoneWannaBe> ((<Trina> So?! This isn't a symphony! I need transport!))
<T-BoneWannaBe> ((CMTA!))
<LadyTrinaSK> ((Dies!!))
<LadyTrinaSK> ((<Sy> ::pouts:: I wanted Williams!!))
<T-BoneWannaBe> ((NO. SyMUN wants Williams! Mwahahaaaaa!))
<LadyTrinaSK> ((Oh, ::Razzzzzzzzzzzzz::))
<LadyTrinaSK> Then we'll have to get there by horse... ::to Pasty:: Where's your tower?
<Sypher> ::gets on his horse:: We'll have to ride.
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::points toward where it can be seen rising over the trees whilst rolling his eyes::
<SirPrize> I THOUGHT so.
<LadyTrinaSK> ::rubs her eyes: 1... 2... 3... ::stomps to get on her horse:: FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN...
*** SirPrize has quit IRC (Exit: What an age we live in, where bad is good, cool is hot, and wicked is righteous.)
<LadyTrinaSK> ::mounts, to Razor:: We'll be back as soon as we can... ::motions her horse:: Let's go... ::gallops::
<Sypher> ::goes with.. leaves Trix::
<Matrix> ::sniffles, looking down at the grass::
<T-BoneWannaBe> ::sighs heavily, sitting drawn into himself.. is genuinely scared::
<SirRazorSK> ::rubs his eyes, isn't even sure himself what to do... and is scared. Goes to pick up Trix: It'll be okay...
<SirRazorSK> ::then looks at WannaBe:: So help me, Pastmaster... if anything happens to my partner...
