GLoG 37: Dysfunction Junction

[horngeek]

Better not. It might be EBIL!

Abigail, do you want to go outside for a walk?

Okay, Unca Daisuke!

So,they are out in the Rose Garden.

[Nearby Mountain]

This time, I'll wait. I want you lot to have little idea...

of where she is.

DUN DUN DUNNNNN!

[Jacklu]

As they enter the rose garden, they find... A sword. >.> *rattle*

[Lex-Kat]

{Rose Garden}

Vidalia's plot clone reaches out and grabs for the katana.

[horngeek]

Daisuke looks at the sword in annoyance.

I'm starting to think that thing won't be happy unless it is being used.

Karuka grabs Abigail watches.

Abigail is playing.

[Jacklu]

Upon grabbing the katana, Vidalia is taken over my an ancient and powerful force, turning into a hellion bent on the destruction of the world!!! feels it rattle a little more, begging to be drawn from its sheath.

[Lex-Kat]

{Rose Garden}

Vidalia looks at the sword for a bit. I'll give you to Judy, when she gets out of her cell. She'll like you. Vidalia smiles.

[Quinsar]

{Wherever Happy is}

Melody is sneaking up behind her. Boo!!

{Family Cell}

Judy looks to Mint. Are you ready to go on that cruise trip?

{Movie Area}

Caroline lowers her head a little. Okay then. Thanks for your time Mist... Cory. She then turns to leave.

Then turns back. One last question. Do you hold any ill will toward Liege Lord Eli or his captain?

I'm ready.

[horngeek]

Daisuke and Abigail are still playing in the Rose Garden.

Or rather, Abigail is playing, and Daisuke is in the gazebo, watching her.

And Karuka is on the nearby mountain, watching them both.

[Jacklu]

The sword rattles more. More waiting. Terrible. These people need a good reason to draw a sword. Quite suddenly there is a lizard man in the rose garden. The slathering beast looks around at all the food it has suddenly been popped near. It flicks a long tongue and lunges towards Vidalia.

[horngeek]

Daisuke disappears, reappears near Abigail as she starts to shreik, and then movesher well away from the lizard-man. Shhh... you're safe. Uncle Daisuke will look after you, Abigail.

[Lex-Kat]

{Family Cell}

Judy smiles. Pick Xerina up, I'll take Rocky. She tries to scoop him up.

Whether successful or not, Judy then goes to the cell door and whispers something to it.

A keypad and palm reader shifts out of what was once a padded siding. She punches in a code on it and places her palm against the reader.

The door to the cell opens.

{Rose Garden}

Vidalia eeks loudly. Eeek!! Then she shifts into an onion and rolls out of the Garden as fast as she can, barely avoiding the lizards initial lunge.

[Quinsar]

Mint picks up Xerina and follows her.
Xerina is grinning happily.

[Jacklu]

Darn... that didn't work at all. In fact, that was a big step backwards. The lizardman, suddenly no longer useful, pops back wherever it came from. The sword would be clattering in a slightly more frustrated manner if it hadn't just been shifted into an onion with Vidalia.

[horngeek]

{{Is this the Mint on Cal's list?}}

Daisuke stays where he is.

Abigail is quivering in the Gazebo, a Security drone standing over her.

Karuka is now joined by Takeshi. The secondary base ready?

Yup. I got that sphere thing as well.

[Thanatos 51-50]

His player, finally bored enough, Terrance ambles out of his room in GLoG and towards the Rose Garden. Maybe he could have tea with sombody. That would be nice.

He waves sleepily at the rolling onion.

[Lex-Kat]

((The one and only ))

{Family Cell}

Judy leads Mint and family, hopefully carrying Rocky, out of the Detention Area.

While ou were asleep, I called the cruise agency and got our trip moved up. I figure GLoG will be safe from Rocky as long as he's not here.

And while we're gone, our house will be rebuilt. Luckily, I had good insurance. They are looking into who torched the place.

{Hall between the Rose Garden and Detention Cells}

Watch it!! There's a Lizard Man in the Rose Garden!!

Vidalia heads toward the Detention Cells.

[horngeek]

No, there isn't anymore.

Daisuke wanders in, leaving Abigail under the watchful eye of the drone.

[Quinsar]

Oh, that's great Judy!

[Jacklu]

The sword is taken along with her. This seems promising though. There are plenty of people in a prison that would love to use a sword. The sword would be rattling in a slightly hopeful way if it could.

[Thanatos 51-50]

Nope. No Lizardman. Terrance transmits as he sits down and makes some tea.

[Lex-Kat]

{Detention Cells}

Vidalia reforms into human. Well there was one. She says to the air, hoping Terrance will somehow hear her.

Then she sees Judy, Mint and Family. What are you doing out of your cell?

Going on vacation with my family.

Well, I found this nifty sword for you. Vidalia hands Judy the sword, which Judy will try to take.

Um, thanks?

You're welcome. Vidalia then leaves and heads back to the Rose Garden.

[Quinsar]

What was that...?

[Jacklu]

The sword waits a moment after being handed over, then rattles slightly.

[Thanatos 51-50]

There isn't anymore. he says simply, and frowns as the sword rattles.
You wouldn't happen to be carrying something that screams out at psions, would you?

People seems to forget that they don't need to talk to Terrance, per se. It's okay. talking made them comfortable.
Terra sipped tea.

[Lex-Kat]

{Detention Cells}

Well, that's Vidalia. But I'm not sure why she gave me the katana..... that seems to be alive?

She hands the maybe Rocky over to Mint. Hold him for a mmoment please. Then she removes the sword fromit's sheath.

{Rose Garden}

Vidalia walks in. So he wasn't here when you arrived? She says to Terrance. Not any more. Why?

[Quinsar]

Mint holds him, watching.

[Thanatos 51-50]

{Rose Garden}

Vidalia walks in. So he wasn't here when you arrived? She says to Terrance. Not any more. Why?

No. I heard you scream about it, though. And I saw you see it. But it's not here. Presumably the sword dismissed it. Terrance offered, and proferred a cup of orange ceylon tea?

[Jacklu]

At long last! The sword is pulled free of its sheath! Foosh! White smoke shoots from the sheath, flooding the room and making it impossible to see anything. A booming voice fills the air. FINALLY! I AM FREE!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, MORTAL, FOR ONCE MORE I AM ABLE TO BREATH THE FRESH AIR AND... and... hold on... The smoke suddenly and rapidly rushes back into the sheath, revealing Judy to be holding an unsheathed katana in her hand. The katana is very still for a long moment, then starts shaking slightly. Really? I mean... Seriously??? *sigh* It's okay... I can deal with this... My uh... this is rather embarrassing... Um... The sword blushes. Or, would if it weren't made of metal. I seem to be... that is... stuck... at the moment... Could you... re-sheath me again for a moment? Then draw me again, just like you just did.

[Thanatos 51-50]

The sword was drawn. Terra says blandly. Lots of fanfare. It talked for a bit, got really embarassed. Nothing else happened.

[Lex-Kat]

{Rose Garden}

Vidalia eyes the tea. Sure. Vidalia sits down and takes a sip of the tea.

{Detention Cells}

Judy eyes the sword, then raises an eyebrow. Are you serious? She looks back to Mint and re-sheathes the sword.

What do you think? Should I unsheathe it again?
