I can... use it for firewood...))

this thing?
<T-Bone> ::swinging the sword around::
<JessieSK> ((<Jessie> ::grins:: save the trees!!!!!! ))

<T-Bone> Ew. You're sick, Razor.

<Trix> <Okay...this isn't what I had in mind....>
<JessieSK> ((<JEssie> aww why???? ))
<JessieSK> ((<Jessie> it's fun man!!))
<JasonSK> ((::DIES!, still remembers why Jase hates the 70's....Trina

<T-Bone> Methinks it's not just our vocabulary, Jacob...
<JasonSK> Cementary...it's the only place...
<JessieSK> ((<Razor> oh yeah and the stuff around us changed
too..))
<JessieSK> ah... why didn't *I* think of that...::feels like an
idiot::
<Razor> I know that...::sighs:: We have to stop the Pastmaster..

<Trix> <Yer a GHOST!>
<SypherSK> ::looks to his body and hesitantly steps toward it::
<I'm just disembodied... I'm still here, aren't I?>
<Trix> <Yeah.....::thinkthinks this one::>
<JessieSK> ::sees a sort of flash of light in the distance:: hmm
you're right Capt'n/.

<SirJacob formerly Razor> C'mon! While we still can! ::goes to the
T-Kat's Bay, means to take out the C-trons...and ends up looking atta couple
horses inna face::

this building, Jacob?
<SirJacob> You got me...
<SypherSK> ::opens his eyes... stops glowing altogether and
looks at Pasty with narrowed eyes::
<JessieSK> An archer always walks.. ::means to say "an Enforcer
always flies or something.." ::
<Jason> They use horses!
<SypherSK> ((<Jase> Even if they don't... *I* am!))
<JessieSK> Not this one...::grins then frowns::
<Jason> We need a horse...
<SypherSK> ::hands start to glow... fires a blast... of magic
energy this time at Pasty::

C'mon! ::grabs Jessie by the arm::
<JessieSK> ::sigh:: some things never change...

<SirJacob> Like we have any other choice....::gets on his horse...issa...
black one, I guess...::

what you're doing?
<Jason> If I'm not, then you have sole permission to hurt me later...
::hoists her up::
<SirChancellor Formerly T-Bone> ::hops onto his own black horse::
<JessieSK> Provided I live that long...
<Jason> ::smiles:: Hang on... ::and motions the horse to go:: H'ya!
::and away they go::
<SypherSK> ::looks to Trix... seems to understand and, raising a
hand, opens a hole in the forcefield... uhm... cuz he absorbed some of
its energy and yadda, he can do that::
<SirJacob> ::motions his horse towards the slope, and down he goes::
<SirChancellor> ::is right behind him::

you've lost your source of power...
<Pastmaster> blast you..!!! ::growls at him::
<JessieSK> good... any idea what we do once we get there?
<SypherSK> ::Just glares back at him::
<Trix> ::grins, conjures....something....::
<Pastmaster> ah no matter..the spell is already effective....look
around you... ::laffs::
<SypherSK> There will be a way to reverse it...
<JasonSK> No clue...I say we just wing it...
<Pastmaster> don't be too sure of that...
<JessieSK> sounds like a good plan...
<JasonSK> There's no planning in winging...::grins::
<Trix> <Sy...he's up to something...>
<SypherSK> ::smiles at him:: I am sure... One flaw in
your plan... With everyone changed to their Dark Age counterparts...
just exactly what did you expect us.. ::motions to himself and Trix:: ...
to become?
<JessieSK> I was just being sarcastic. C..Sir Jason.. ::shakes her
head,..is wondering what's going on::
<Pastmaster> and who are you? the new SWAT Kats?
<JasonSK> Sorry 'bout that...
<Pastmaster > ::not the brightest crayon in the box is he?::

a forcefield around himself ::

<JessieSK> ((<Jason> uh-oh..I hate it when you get that..
<Jessie> why? <Jason> last time you said you got an itchy trigger
finger I ended up out for a few hours <Jesie> so I miscalculated a bit))
<SypherSK> ::uhm... casually waves a hand and opens a hole
in Pasty's forcefield... on the assumption that Pasty is only stalling
Sy and Trix anyways::
<SypherSK> ::ie: the mun assumes Pasty's just keeping them busy
with this and that until the spell finishes... and not giving them time
to figure out that it's still going::
<Pastmaster> ::creates one more powerfull:: nua nua!!cant stop me...the
transformation's nearly complete. ::smirks at the Cyberkats::
<Matrix> Why dontcha give it up, Pats...erm...Pasty?
<Pastmaster> ::as the stormy sky utters a final rumble:: Because
I've just won...

<SypherSK> ((<Pasty> ::sniffs:: I have a hobby... Returning
the city to the Dark Ages... <Sage> But, you've done it now... You need
a new one.))
<JasonSK> ((::dies::))
<SypherSK> Yeah...
<SypherSK> ::thinks::
<JasonSK> Give it up...we're part of the queen's royal bodyguards...
<JessieSK> ::nods::
<Matrix> Slap 'em silly 'til they wake up?
<SypherSK> We're not attacking you.
<JessieSK> For now...
<SypherSK> ::to Trix:: Let's try something new... ::grabs
his arm and leads him down the other side of the hill::
<JessieSK> SirJason? what do you make of this?
<Matrix> What's on yer mind?
<JessieSK> ((<Jessie> ::tries to grab her bow from midair
keeps jumping up and tries snatching it from there))
<JasonSK> Odd...very odd...Queen Callista should be aware of this,
tho'...
<SypherSK> If we ignore them, at least they know we're not hostile...
And, I want to know what's going on before we start shaking or slapping.
<JessieSK> I agree lets go find her right away
<SypherSK> ::uhm... lets their bows fall back down... and not ON
them!::
<Matrix> Right, right...
<JasonSK> You go...I'll keep an eye on those two..
<JessieSK> ((<Sy> DANG Underestimated AGAIN...::sigh::))
<JessieSK> AS you wish... ::mun has no idea where to go..::
<SypherSK> So, what do you think? Do they all think
this really IS the Dark Ages?
<Matrix> Oh, like Captain Korat and Lt. Clawson claiming they were
the Queen's bodyguards wasn't enough evidence?
<SypherSK> True enough... But... Is the PastMaster part of
this fake history he's put in their minds?
<JessieSK> ::picks up her bow and runs off to the Queen's Castle::
<SypherSK> ::uh... City Hall is the castle now?::
<JessieSK> ((Is what I was thinking..))
<Matrix> It could be...
<SypherSK> ::sighs:: And... ARE we sorcerors?
<Callie...erm...Callista> ::in the throne room::
<Matrix> That's how people look at us...
<JessieSK> ::runs up to the throne room:: My Queen? ::bows::
<SypherSK> But, ARE we...? I don't seem to recall levitation
among my Cyberkat powers...
<SypherSK> ((<Manx> ::is Callie's footstool::))
<JessieSK> ((ROFL...))
<JasonSK> ((::dies::))
<Matrix> You and me both....we gotta find that troll and change
back...
<JessieSK> ((<Manx> ::is the guy who tells jokes and stuff::))
<JasonSK> ((<Manx> ::makes a lousy Jester...talks about golf
all day...so Callie hires Steele instead...she c'n put him in the dungeon

dark ages..))
<SypherSK> ((<Steele> ::whimpers are kinda amusing::))
<SypherSK> ::nods:: And, change everyone else back!
<SypherSK> ::hears a twig snap abruptly and spins around::
<Matrix> Yeah...::pauses to spin around::
<JasonSK> What is it you want on our lands?
<JessieSK> ::reaches the castle, runs into the throne room:: my
Queen?
<SypherSK> We seek the PastMaster to reverse an evil spell of his...
<Callista> ::looks up:: Lady Jessie?
<SypherSK> ((Uh... So, what's Pastie? Evil Overlord?))
<JessieSK> ::bows:: My Queen we got a problem..
<Callista> Stand. What sort of trouble?
<JasonSK> ::frowns: What spell?
<SypherSK> ((<Jase> ::gapes:: You must speak of him
only as "His Supremacy Great and Mighty PastMaster the First! <Matrix>

<JessieSK> It seems that Pastmaster isn't the only sorcerer on your
land.
<SypherSK> <Do we try to tell him?>
<JessieSK> ((ROFL))
<JasonSK> ((::DIES!!!!!!::))
<Callista> What do you mean? ::as she steps down from her throne::
<Manx> ::is there, in fact, scurries to handle her train - that
long cloak thingie trailing behind her dress - as she moves::
<Matrix> <Before we get turned into pin cushions, sure...>
<JessieSK> SirJason and myself have stumbled upon two others in
the cemetary.
<SypherSK> He is befuddling the minds of many in the lands and we
wish to stop him.
<Callista> The Pastmaster is here? ::frowns::
<Callista> And, those two...are they his subjects?
<JessieSK> So we thought... but it appears that it is not only Pastmaster.
<JasonSK> I knew it....you're not only sorcerors..you're insane!
<JessieSK> I don't know my queen, SirJason stayed behind to find
out or try to, he sent me to warn you.
<Matrix> <Well...that worked well..>
<SypherSK> We are not insane! And, why do you assume ALL sorcerors
mean you harm?
<SypherSK> If I'd wanted to hurt you, I'd have done so.
<Callista> ::nods:: Have the guards surround the palace, and send
the knights to go protect my people.
<JessieSK> ((<Jason> pasty always talk about harming us but
he never managed to))
<JasonSK> I don't trust you...
<SypherSK> ((<Callista> And, call up new recruits.
Send out conscription notices to all the provinces. ::quoting,
quoting::))
<JessieSK> Right away my queen.. ::runs outta there does as she
is told then runs back to the cemetary,,, is excercising you see? running
back and forth::
<SypherSK> <The Captain always was cautious...>
<JasonSK> ((::DIES!!!::))

<SypherSK> Then, we shall have to work to change that.
<SypherSK> ((Well.. I was too lazy to get to the "A single grain
of rice may tip the scales. One man could mean the difference between
victory and defeat.))
