Suddenly, Moppet bagan trembling uncontrollably. And it wasn't because Scipio had almost knocked the door down. "I don't... like... cats..." he murmured. Kel-Aziz, who was the only one not completely gobsmacked by Scipio's activities (he'd seen that sort of thing in the Royal Guard before), looked up. "What? How does that signify?" Something fell off Nicky's roof with a bent wing. Kel-Aziz walked up to it, peered at it. He looked at Moppet. "I see." Then he turned back to te nephil. "Are you in pain?" -------------------- And this was very odd because It was the middle of the night - Lewis Carrol well well well aren't we resilient Oh the fun Most generalizations are, unfortunately, true.

When one perceives that others are in pain, one generally feels pity for the pained party (more alliteration, Willow). Or if one is a cold bastard, one feels nothing. Or mocks those who are in pain.

The small party marched up to the tall, orange door which was the tasteful portal Nicky had chosen for his dark and gloomy abode. Moppet waddled up to it in fine feather, chest puffed out, best bill-collecting manner in evidence. He had almost reached the low brass knocker and was about to knock when... "Dear God!" Scipio ran dorward and dragged the rabbit backwards down the gravel path to the rest of the party. This was harder than it looked as Moppet could dig in quite firmly with his hindpaws, and he was a paunchy fellow. Scipio avoided looking into Moppet's eyes as he chastised him. "What the hell were you doing? You can't just go marching up to necromancers' doors and ask to be invited for tea! We need stealth and silence and subtlety! SSS!" He hissed, spraying ale-scented globules of saliva all over. "I thought the direct approach would be best," murmured Mighty Moppet. -------------------- And this was very odd because It was the middle of the night - Lewis Carrol well well well aren't we resilient Oh the fun Most generalizations are, unfortunately, true.

I'll be quiet and sit in the corner. I'll be a party pooper, but not an aggressive one. Not a gatecrasher. Sort of passive party pooping.

Not. The answers are interesting. I like Rentboy's. And it wasn't really an excuse to get people to look at the link in my sig. That was just a frivolous answer to Cyanide.

I'll explain, though part of the point is that I'm not supposed to explain. Look at the form, and post what you feel are the answers to any one question or to a selection. Go by instinct. Don't question back, but respond to what you feel the questions are asking. -------------------- And this was very odd because It was the middle of the night - Lewis Carrol well well well aren't we resilient Oh the fun Most generalizations are, unfortunately, true.

Moppet, Triksi, Wise Man and Scipio stared at the stuff on the table. "Well." "That really is coincidental." "To the point of being terrifying." "'Oo exactly are ya, Kel-Aziz?

Moppet sighed. "We'll have to make a 'CLOSED DUE TO BANKRUPTCY' sign for the inn's door some time soon. We simply can't keep having people barging in for no reason like this. "Ma'am, I suggest you leave. We are having some problems involving fungi and traitor right now, and this would not be the most convenient time to check in." Triksi was startled at her master's frankness. Usually he would say something like "WE HAVE NO VACANCIES! PLEASE COME BACK LATER! THANKS!', disregarding the fact that the ballroom sized dining hall was empty, or "I'm sorry, we do not serve those of your sexual orientation." Actually, on second thought, he wouldn't say that. That would be bad for business. The first comment, in all its illogical glory, was more like him. All of a sudden, her tangential thought reached its dead end and Triksi realised that the five individuals in the room were standing around hopelessly, dumb and expectant, and that she, as usual, would have to take the initiative. Sighing, she did so. "Wait! I dare say this gel looks like an awful big strong'un, and she may be useful on our h'expeditions. Fighting off the baddies and so on. Me apologies, friend Scipio, and you, Wise Man - y' may be good with the swords but y'aven't got much more muscle than a chicken between youse. Why, I could take you on meself, supposin' I wasn't such a laidy." Here the wench coughed delicately. "Hold your horses!" exclaimed Scipio. "She hasn't even offered her services yet. And I object to you referring to my manly sinew as being similar to a chicken's!" He flexed his 'manly sinew' threateningly. Wise Man took this up in his quiet, courteous manner. "My lady," he began, addressing the large woman. "Would you consider joining our small party and setting off, first in quest of the ingredients for this mushroom antidote? Oh, and do you have any skills in the kitchen?" he added dubiously. "We'd pay, of course," put in the bunny. -------------------- And this was very odd because It was the middle of the night - Lewis Carrol well well well aren't we resilient Oh the fun Most generalizations are, unfortunately, true.

OOC (sorry!): I posted at the top of the page, but everyone missed it. It's after Flavius' and before... um, Flavius'. Ah me. _files/rolleyes.gif) How I am ignored.I'm still here. IC: "F-ff-fy... Fine Ah-a, a, Arborio Rise. Rice." The keen adventurer observed Moppet's difficulties and, without making comment, took up reading the description and recipe to the assembled party. "Cancels out the nullifying effect of mushrooms, but is very hard to obtain. Can be found in boggy, poisonous gourmet plantations in most northern provinces. Once you have at least two kilograms, scent it with essence of jasmine and shred in some saffron. The saffron is necessary to add exotic zing to the dish and clear the tastebuds of the inflicted. Add a pinch of Wild Thyme(s on the town with your college buddies), as much youth as you can spare, and a bulb of whiffy garlic. Pour over some Old Janx Spirit. Serve hot. Makes enough for three." And at the bottom: "This tangy, aromatic risotto is guaranteed to surprise and delight your friends. It is historically been used as an antidote for Hennison's Nullifiying Fungal Disease." The four members of the party stared, disheartened. "How are we ever going to cook up that lot?" asked Wise Man. "Those ingredients are costly," sighed Moppet. "And we're all pretty down on our luck financially," he added, glancing from his own shabby tuxedo to Triksiana's sadly tattered petticoat to the adventurers' meager packs. "Do any of us even know how to cook?" interjected Scipio. Everybody shook their heads, defeated. As before, Moppet's ears flapped softly, the only noise in the quiet room.

Cars disgust me. I'm not sure why. Maybe because I am firm in my belief that the legal drinking age should be earlier than the legal driving age. Maybe it's because I always used to have to bike to school behind lines of the things spewing exhaust in my face. More likely its because my little kitty was run over by a car when I was nine. Rush was my only companion. I've remained friendless since his death. *tears* *nostalgia* Or because of my father. My father was obsessive about his car. He used to spend every Saturday standing outside washing it. All day. It was the only thing he wasn't a miserly ass about, as well. He spent piles of money on these really luxe numbers. God, he's forced me to hate cars. And vans. And jeeps. And especially SUVs. *remembers oppressed youth* Sad. -------------------- And this was very odd because It was the middle of the night - Lewis Carrol well well well aren't we resilient Oh the fun Most generalizations are, unfortunately, true.

OOC: Since it seems to have moved to an upstairs bedroom... A small, fluffy rabbit with grey fur hopped up the stairs. The inn seemed strange after his long absence. Henri was taking a well-deserved... er, nap with one of the barmaids, and the inn's common room had been abandoned. So Moppet (for that was our hero's name) had squeezed through the doors of the dining room, found the back stairs, and climbed up to the disused rooms in search of solace and perhaps a nap. When he peered around the edge of the doorframe, he was surprised to see his usual room already occupied. What was Triksi, bless her heart, doing in his reserved quarters? And who were the two disreputable looking fellows with her? Certainly not the patrons he remembered. And the window was smashed - someone would have to pay for that. And what was that chip in the wall? This wouldn't do at all. The small ball of fuzz with the adorable eyes drew himself up to his full height (exactly fourteen and a half inches) and marched in. "Excuse me..." Triksi looked away from one of the adventurers and started at the sight of him. "Master Moppet, gov!" "Triksi, what are you doing in my quarters! Miss - get out at once! Gentlemen, I'll have to ask you to leave. Really, can't you do this sort of thing somewhere else?" "Why is it that every soul that wanders in these here doors assumes we're gettin' up to somethin' of that nature?" inquired the maid rhetorically. "Moppet, I can't make these gents leave, we're plannin' somethin' and seein' as you've been away for so long you might want to jest park yer furry behind somewheres else fer a couple av 'ours. Don' worry yerself, we'll be leavin' soon." Moppet was used to this sort of thing from Triksi... but leaving? "Leaving!" exclaimed the enraged rabbit. "And where might you be going off to, abandoning this establishment! You think you can just wander off with whoever you like whenever you like? What about your contract and duty towards this inn?" This remark was somewhat hypocritical, of course. "And who are you to give her orders?" said one of the adventurers, springing to Triksi's defense. Moppet stared up at the man in shock for a few seconds, then puffed out his chest and slit his eyes dangerously. "Don't you think," he began, staring into the man's eyes hypnotically, "Don't you think that the owner of a respected inn such as this deserves a modicum of respect and obedience from his employees?"
