<Jason> ::grabs Jessie by the arm:: That's exactly what they want! ::means the attack:
<T-BoneKnight> ((::dies!::))
<LadyJessie> you sure?? I wasn't gonna attack 'em!!
<LadyJessie> ::as she is grabbed...::
<Jason> You're charging head on...

<Jason> ::Runs in:: Your majesty!
<LadyJessie> I know I know... ::sigh::
<Callista> what is it Sir Jason?
<SirRazor> ::puts a hand on her shoulder:: We'll stop them... don't worry.
<LadyJessie> ((<Callista> ::annoyed:: what is is Sir Jason? I was powdering my nose!! don't you knock before entering?))
<Jason> We have to get you out! The Pastmaster's army is here!
<T-BoneKnight> :choses twenty knights to accompany him::
<LadyJessie> ::looks back at him:: we gotta stop 'em somehow... ::is about ready to go out there alone..::
<SirRazor> But we have to remain in here.
<T-BoneKnight> ((<Callista> ::REALLY annoyed... turns to face him, has powder all over her face where he startled her::))

<Katney> ((<Katney> Um... don't I get a say in this? <Knights> This has nothing to do with you. Scram. <Katney> ::shrugs:: 'Kay. ::flees!!::))
<LadyJessie> ::isn't sure why but she trusts this one:: <Crud.. Sir Razor please be allright..I'm coming after you.. I am.>
<Razor> ::keeps silent, growls::
<T-BoneKnight> ::enters to find Razor::
<T-BoneKnight> ::just had him sent and tied up::
<LadyJessie> At least tell me your name stranger...
<Razor> ::looks up at him, still says nothing::
<T-BoneKnight> What happened to you?
<Razor> What?
<T-BoneKnight> ::eyeing the red gash on the side of his head..  and trying not to look at those eyes now that they're clearly visible::
<TrinawithaMask> Sorry, no can do while we're being chased...
<Knights> ::are galloping after::
<LadyJessie> I can try and hold them off.. ::gets her bow and fires a few shots at the pursuers::
<T-BoneKnight> ((<Trina> Can't do polite intros and flee at the same time, okay?))
<Razor> I got hit...
<LadyJessie> ((ROFLDEAD))
<TrinawithaMask> ((::dies::))
<T-BoneKnight> ::face twists angrily:: By whom?
<Razor> ::growls:: One of your knights.
<TrinawithaMask> Keep your head down! Chances are you're gonna get nailed!
<T-BoneKnight> ::growls softly, storms out inna hall yelling... audible sound of an "oof!" as someone gets a boot inna butt to speed them up::
<Razor> ::blinks: <Okay... this guy's... not right up there...>
<LadyJessie> ::is trying to... at the same time is firing away arrows at the rest:: Crud...
<T-BoneKnight> ::returns with a clean rag... by Dark Ages standards::
<Razor> ::just blinks::
<LadyJessie> ((<Jessie> ::Gets nailed by a tree branch:: <Trina> I told ya!! <Jessie> ::groans:: all right all right no need to rub it in!!))
<T-BoneKnight> ((<Razor> Hey! Put peroxide on that thing a'ready!  <T-Bone> Per...what?  <Razor> I don't know..  It just popped out.))
<TrinawithaMask> ((DEAD!!!))
<LadyJessie> ((ROFLDEAD))
<TrinawithaMask> ((DEAD!!!))
<T-BoneKnight> ((<Trina> Please keep your hands, arms, and HEADS within the vehicle!))
<LadyJessie> ((<Jessie> *what* vehicle?))
<TrinawithaMask> ((DIES!))
<T-BoneKnight> ::steps over to wipe at the gash wordlessly... Razor's hands are tied I assume, so he can't do nuthin::
<TrinawithaMask> We're almost there... ::grins... something's up::
<T-BoneKnight> ((<Trina> Please don't unbuckle until the ride has come to a complete and total stop...  <Jessie> Buckle?))
<LadyJessie> okay...
<Razor> What... what are you doing? ::keeps his head away::
<LadyJessie> ::is still firing the arrows at whoever is left there::
<LadyJessie> ((ROFL))
<TrinawithaMask> ::calls out:: NOW!!!
<Eight Knights> ::are incoming::
<LadyJessie> ::does whatever she's supposted to do::
<T-BoneKnight> Trying to clean you up. Be still.
<TrinawithaMask> ::bushes, trees, etc. get filled with kats and such... firing...um... old fruit, yeah!::
<LadyJessie> ::blinks:: they're not with the Pastmaster...
<Knight> Gah!  ::Is whacked with a watermelon - falls off his horse::
<Razor> What ever for?
<Knight 2> ::gets nailed with a tomato:: I'm blind!
<TrinawithaMask> 'Course not! ::grins::
<Random Kats> ::charge with eggs and such::
<Knight 3> ::is nailed with an apple:: ARGH!!
<T-BoneKnight> I've never thought much was gained from interrogating pain-ridden prisoners...
<LadyJessie> great... those are the rebels.. I'm.. going to find the queen and Sir Jason and tell them that.. Pastmaster has captured Sir Jacob...
<Razor> ::smirks:: What makes you think I'll talk?
<Knight 4> ::is egged.. has egg in his eyes, gets knocked off as his horse goes under a low-hanging limb::
<TrinawithaMask> They've taken over the castle?
<Knight 5> ::hit with an asparagus... and has egg up his nose::
<T-BoneKnight> Well, I certainly need you to...
<T-BoneKnight> ((::snork!::))
<LadyJessie> ::nods:: yes... as well as wiped out most of our force...
<Knight 6> ::gets whammed with a pumpkin... over-ripe pumpkin::
<Knight 7> Retreat!!!
<Knight 8> ::Gets hit with a huuuuuuuuugggggeeeeee apple:: HEY!
<TrinawithaMask> ((<Knight> RUN AWAY!! RUN AWAY!!))
<LadyJessie> ((ROFL))
<Razor> Sorry. I won't.
<Knight 8> ::rubbing his head::  Never, Coward!  ::flying rhubarb takes 'em out::
<Knight 7> ::retreats, the commander's pretty merciful even if the ruler ain't::
<Katney> ((<Knight> The sky isn't falling, fellow knight.  Just the moon and the stars and all the other unnamed planets we don't know about. <Knight> Oh. <Knight> See?  Nothing to worry about))
<Rebel 1> Take their horses!
<LadyJessie> ((LOL))
<TrinawithaMask> ((ROFL!))
<T-BoneKnight> ((RoFL!))
<LadyJessie> ::goes to find Jason and Callista::
<TrinawithaMask> Whoo hoo! We got 'em!
<TrinawithaMask> ::arrives at the camp, lets Jessie get down::
<T-BoneKnight> ::finishes and comes around in front of Razor, ignores what he said and just looks him in the eye again::  Do I know you?
<Callista> ::is... hiding behind the bushes::
<LadyJessie> Thankyou... can you at least tell me your name now?
<Razor> ::eyes him himself:: What... makes you think you do?
<Katney> ((<Sir Razor> My Queen? <Callista> Don't come back here!  There's not an latrine in sight and nature calls me!))
<T-BoneKnight> Something... A sense...  ::just looking at Razor conjures half-remembered images::
<TrinawithaMask> Sorry. It's confidential. Let's just say I ain't too happy with the Pastmaster, so you can be assured that I'm a friend.
<T-BoneKnight> ((::DIESDEAD!::))
<Katney> ((::admits that one's a bit gross::))
<TrinawithaMask> ((DEAD!!))
<LadyJessie> I.. I got a feeling that I ... know you...
<Katney> ((::kills the audience anyway.::))
<T-BoneKnight> ((<Callista> And, when Nature calls... Well, when ya' gotta go, ya' gotta go.))
<LadyJessie> ((DEAD))
<TrinawithaMask> ::raised brow:: Know me?
<Razor> ::looks back:: What sense?
<LadyJessie> ::nods:: yes.. know you...from somewhere..
<T-BoneKnight> Memories I can't explain... or fully remember...
<Razor> <::is getting flickers, shakes things of anew::>
<T-BoneKnight> ::steps away to pace the room::
<TrinawithaMask> OKay...
<LadyJessie> I uh... ::is suddenly hit by everything that has happened:: I .. ::runs somewhere::
<Razor> ::just watches him::
<TrinawithaMask> ::blinks::
<T-BoneKnight> <This is madness...  I have to learn where the Queen is..  It is my duty to complete the task my Lord has set before me...>
<SirRazor> ::tries to get himself loose::
<T-BoneKnight> <And, yet...>  ::looks back at Razor whose head wound is bleeding a little again... and the sight of his partner hurt snaps him back for an instant::  Are you okay, Buddy?
<Razor> Hnuh? ::looks back at the word "Buddy":: T... T-Bone?
<T-BoneKnight> ::stares at him::  Who?  ::softly::
<Razor> ::squints, shakes his head:: I'm...sorry... It.. came out...
<T-BoneKnight> ::shakes his own head, returning to the Dark Ages delusion::  It doesn't matter...
<Katney> ((::sniffle:: A Kodak moment.))
<SirRazor> ::just gapes::
<T-BoneKnight> ::thinking, comes to a conclusion and decides to act on it before anything else happens...  pulls his sword from its scabbard::
<T-BoneKnight> ((<Razor> :;decides to be pessimistic:: You or me?  Hari kari or off with his head?  <T-Bone> Huh?  I was gonna trim my nails, okay?  <Razor> Oh.))
<SirRazor> ((::dies!::))
<Katney> ((Who's Hari kari?))
<T-BoneKnight> ((It's Japanese ritual suicide.))
<Katney> ((Oh.))
<SirRazor> ::blinks, eyes are wide, then sighs:: I understand that this is a form of honor... And, I'm sorry I couldn't give you what you wanted in order to protect my own.
<Katney> ((I'll send in Mata Hari then))
<T-BoneKnight> ((The honorable death for a warrior... Slit yourself open like a filet 'o fish.))
<SirRazor> ((Ouch))
<T-BoneKnight> ::wordlessly goes behind him and... cuts the ropes::
<Katney> ((Fish?  You made me hungry))
<T-BoneKnight> ((Ew....  Hari Kari makes her hungry...))
<SirRazor> ((::beats head against desk::))
<SirRazor> ::incredulous:: Wha--?
<T-BoneKnight> Go.  Find your Queen.  Do what you must.  I cannot kill you and I cannot properly interrogate you.
<SirRazor> Why are you doing this?
<T-BoneKnight> ::goes against his honor to release his prisoner and fail his leige,... but it's even more against the grain to hurt this kat::
<T-BoneKnight> I do not know.
<SirRazor> ((<TB> Before you do, punch me. <Razor> HUh? <TB> That way they'll think you knocked me out and escaped... <Razor> ::gives him a tap:: <TB> Oh, I'm in pain.. YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT!! <Razor> ::nails him with a chair:: <TB> Much... better... ::sees birdies, flops back::))
<Katney> ((Tee hee))
<SirRazor> You don't... ::blinks anew:: How do I know your knights won't be following me?
<Katney> ((<T-Bone> Take this bird and put it on the figurehead above the drawbridge door. ::gives him a ravin:: It'll drive them mad because it won't shut up))
<T-BoneKnight> ((::DIES!::))
<SirRazor> ((::DIES!!::))
<T-BoneKnight> I give you my word.
<T-BoneKnight> ((<T-Bone> Because I'm going with you to make sure you don't hurt yourself.  <Razor> What's it to you?  <T-Bone> Got me.))
<Katney> ((<Raven> AWWK!  NEVERMORE! Lanore will never return!  <Razor> Oh, no!  Not that!  ::pause:: Wait, I don't know a Lanore. <Raven> Oh.  Then your teddy bear!  Nevermore will you see your teddy bear!  <Razor> NOOOO!!! NOT BROWNIE!!))
<SirRazor> ::rubs the gash he has on his forehead...and finds that he trusts him:: Very well...
<T-BoneKnight> ((::DIESDIESDEAD!::))
<SirRazor> ((::DEADDEADDEADDEAD!!!!!!!!::))
<Katney> ((Darnit.  Lost count on you guys dying today))
<T-BoneKnight> ::nods:: Take the western exit...   I'll tell the guys you died of your wound.
<T-BoneKnight> ((guard even!  Not guys!))
<T-BoneKnight> ((<Razor>The guys? <T-Bone> Yeah... We get together every night... Swap stories on who we've killed... What wounded guys we roughed up... Ya'know...))
<SirRazor> I don't know how that will convince them... But keep this in mind, I owe you my life... ::goes::
<SirRazor> ((::snorks::))
<Katney> ((<T-Bone> Yeah, these guys are my buddies!  We kill, maim, butt heads, even share underwear together! ::beam::))
<T-BoneKnight> ::catches his arm as he goes::  Be careful, my friend...  ::fully in proper Dark Ages speech, but part of him is slipping again::
<Katney> ((<Razor> What's underwear? <T-Boen> Don't know, but it sounded good.))
<T-BoneKnight> ((::dies!::  Ew!))
<SirRazor> ((Yuuuk...))
<Katney> ((She died anyway.  Nyeh!))
<SirRazor> ::blinks:: And... you, too. ::puts a hand on his shoulder:: And, thank you.
<T-BoneKnight> ((<Razor> How can you swap something you don't even know what is?  <T-Bone>  We share the swill they serve at the mess hall and don't know what THAT is.))
<T-BoneKnight> Anytime, buddy...  ::slipping, slipping::
<SirRazor> ::pause: Buddy?
<T-BoneKnight> Yeah?  ::taking it as a question, not a comment on the word::
<SirRazor> I... ::steps back, lets it out:: Be careful, Chance. ::goes::
<T-BoneKnight> ::freezes at the name Chance...then jogs after him:: Wait!
<SirRazor> :;spins::
<T-BoneKnight> Jake?
<SirRazor> ::blinks anew:: Jake? How did...?
<T-BoneKnight> How did you know mine?
<SirRazor> I.. it's like I've known you before... I keep getting these images...
<T-BoneKnight> ::nods:: I've seen them...
<T-BoneKnight> ((<Razor> You've seen MY images?  You stay outta my head!))
<SirRazor> You too?  I....
<T-BoneKnight> ::even as he watches, his view of Razor twists, making him appear in his usual SK suit... which is utterly out of place of the Dark Ages, but it seems right to him::
<SirRazor> ::shakes his head anew as tho' to clear it... then sees...:: T-Bone.. Chance.. What happened?
<T-BoneKnight> I.... don't... know...  ::quivers... something weird is happening now::  Jake, you need to go right now... And, quickly.  ::holds his head::
<SirRazor> ::finally just snaps outta it:: You can't stay here!
<Katney> ((::remembers the bit about Dusty as a gargoyle in a tavern:: <Dusty> I make a deal with them.  They let me come in here and drink for free, and I won't eat them.))
<T-BoneKnight> Jake... ::in pain:: Go!
<SirRazor> ::backs up, is confused, scared...:: You're coming with me! ::grabs him by the wrist::
<T-BoneKnight> ((::snorks!::))
<T-BoneKnight> ::sinks to his knees, shaking his head... can hear a voice now... getting louder than Razor's::
<SirRazor> Chance?!
<Voice>  <Fool!  You think I would place you in my army and let you slip from my spell that easily?!>
<SirRazor> Chance!! ::holds him by the shoulders, shakes him::
<Voice> <You are the captain of my army...  You have had no life before nor will have any life elsewhere.  Finish the task I have given you. Bring me Queen Callista!>
<SirRazor> Chancellor!!!
<T-BoneKnight> ::it's actually akin to a magic "recording"... Pastie doesn't know who T-Bone is or what he said.. only that he was slipping out::
<Katney> ((<Pastie> You will do what I say!--say!--say!--say!--say! ::record's skipping::))
<SirRazor> ((::dies::))
<T-BoneKnight> ((::dies!:: <T-Bone> ::snaps out of it::  ARGH! That's annoying!  ::ends up determined to kill that record player::))
<SirRazor> ((::laffs::))
<SirRazor> Chance, snap outta it!
<T-BoneKnight> ::blinks up at Razor, eyes fogging over::
<Katney> ((::snicker::))
<SirRazor> Chance, it's me... don't you recognize me?
<Katney> ((<T-Bone> ::doesn't know which way to go.:: <Razor> Get out of that power I'll let you watch that 200-hour Scardy Kat marathon. <T-Bone> ::gets outta that spell right quick!::))
<T-BoneKnight> ::is sweating all over::  Jake... Help me outta here....
<T-BoneKnight> ((::dies!::  <T-Bone> I'm cured!  <Razor> ::smacks self in head, muttering sarcastically:: Begorrah...))
<SirRazor> ::throws his arm around his neck and helps him out:; We're leaving.
<SirRazor> ((::DEAD::))
<T-BoneKnight> ::stumbles to his feet:: And, quickly...  Pastie's spell is doing a number on my head...
<SirRazor> You got it, partner...::whistles for the horses::
<Katney> ((<Razor> I take it back. Waste of TV time. <T-Bone> ::goes back to Pastie's spell:: <Razor> But I'll order us a pizza!  <T-Bone> ::changes back:: <Razor> But I get to pick the toppings. <T-Bone> ::changes back again:: <Razor> What a grouch.))
<T-BoneKnight> ((<Razor> ::contrary to DJ Clawson's theory, is actually Irish::))
<SirRazor> ((::snorks!::))
<T-BoneKnight> ((ROFL Kat!))
<SirRazor> ((::is dying::))
<Katney> ((::bows::))
<Horses> ::boths horses appear just outside the opening on the courtyard::
<SirRazor> Will you manage? ::to TB::
<T-BoneKnight> Just get me on the horse and hope enough of this Dark Age info holds that I can still ride...
<SirRazor> Right. ::helps him up, gets on his own:: Hang on, Bud... we're escaping into the woods... ::gets the horses into a trot::
<T-BoneKnight> ((<T-Bone> ::falls off the other side as he gets on:: <Razor> C'mon, bud!  It's easy - heels down, grip with your thighs, balance!))
<SirRazor> ((::dies!::))
<Katney> ((<T-Bone> ::tries:: Grip down, heels with your balance, thighs!))
<T-BoneKnight> ::notes someone watching, yells to them::  I have an urgent errand to attend!  Continue as you were! ::and kicks that horse into a gallop::
<T-BoneKnight> ((::snorks!::))
<SirRazor> ((::ROFL::))
<SirRazor> ::does the same, leads TB into the woods::
<T-BoneKnight> ::the farther they go the better he gets:
<T-BoneKnight> Awww...  ::slumps where he sits a little::  Round one down....
<SirRazor> Huh? ::looks back at him::
<SirRazor> ::slows the horse a bit::
<T-BoneKnight> Pastie's spell..  It's gone for now...  But, not all the way...
<SirRazor> Well, we're gonna make sure it doesn't return fer a while...
<T-BoneKnight> How?
<T-BoneKnight> ((<Razor> I'm taking you to see a good fairy... <T-Bone> A good fairy? <Razor> The best - the Pixie Stix fairy.))
<SirRazor> Keep you away from the castle gates...
<SirRazor> ((::DEAD::))
<T-BoneKnight> Or Pastie in general...  And, if he can do that to all of us, it means none of us will be any help in this war...
<SirRazor> ::nods:: We gotta find the others and fast...
<T-BoneKnight> Roger that.  ::kicks his horse into a trot:; Least I still remember how to ride and fight... for now...  I'd kill for the TurboKat...
<SirRazor> ::chuckles:: You and me both... but it's not so bad.. ::pats his horse on the side::
<Katney> ((<Katney> ::been turned into a Pixie Stix fairy:: I'm closed.  Besides, I want him to suffer.  Payack for when he wrecked my dollhouse. <T-Bone> Accident!  I was, uh... testing it's durability.  It was poorly built.))
<T-BoneKnight> ((::DIES!::))
<SirRazor> ((DEAD))
<T-BoneKnight> What? Getting attached?
<SirRazor> ::just grins::
<T-BoneKnight> ::rubs his own horse:: They do kinda grow on you...
