[Nexus] Good League of Good LVI: I had a joke but I forgot it

[The Bushranger]

Mikani listens, as she hurries over to check on Abigail!

Quinn, meanwhile, steps forwards. "Why, exactly, is that monster trying to kidnap our girls?" she demands.

[Je dit Viola]

Inside Infirmary

Sinopa, glad that the scary man's gone, dares to look out from under the bed again.

She sees...more people! They don't feel as scary, but...that one smells like a wolf! Wolves have big teeth, and big eyes, and dress like grannies! Especially the big teeth.
The foxgirl ducks back under the bed, holding her legs tight to her chest and is hoping that the big bad wolf man doesn't eat any of her friends.

[The Bushranger]

Mikani, spotting the movement under the bed, heads over and kneels to look under it.
"Sinopa? You OK, sis?" she calls, looking worried.

[Je dit Viola]

Inside the Infirmary

"J-Jamie, th-th-there's a big wolf out there..." she stammers, her eyes wide. She points out, in the direction that Long Tooth should be.
"Wolves h-have really really big teeth." This time, she shows her own teeth, to show what she's talking about. Her own teeth are slightly canine. She's imagining the Lunar to be having really really big teeth. "They eat people, too!"

Outside the Infirmary

If nobody really cares about the fae priestesses...they just vanish! Oh, no! They must've caught the Vaporizing Flu or something.

[Lord Iames Osari]

"We have no idea," Cerise says.

[The Bushranger]

[Inside Infirmary]

"Huh? All I see is a man...are you sure he's a wolf...."
Suddenly, Mikani gasps - and de-transforms into Jamie!
"Oh, no, maybe he's a werewolf!"
And she goes to scramble under the bed to hide with Sinopa!


[Outside the Infirmary]

Alex cares, and heads over in their direction as he sees them marking off a circle on his grounds.

[ApeofLight]

In Front of Infirmary

Garth just looks baffled at the two of them. Why wouldn't they listen? Can they even hear him? Why do they have to fight? Finally Garth just gets fed up with it.

" Oh, for the love of... Both of you stop or you'll both end up in there! " He says pointing towards the infirmary. " Barely able to move! " The partial dragon yells at them picking up his sword.

Hey, Je I think you missed this...

[horngeek]

Long Tooth looks at the two. "I might stay around, in case they do come back."

[The Bushranger]

"Psst, Abby! Over here, under the bed! Quick!" Jamie hisses, trying to get her friend away from the potential werewolf!

[Je dit Viola]

Inside Infirmary

"He smells like a wolf," whispers Sinopa. "Maybe he is a werewolf! What are we supposed to do? Maybe he's going to eat everybody!" She's clearly overreacting, I think. Obviously, the grown-ups will keep him in control, and make sure that he only eats the bad-guys.

Outside the Infirmary

Actually, they're not marking off the circle anymore. They've been fighting for a while. As of yet, the only wounds have been the one on Ishtaroth's back, because it reopened.

Ishtaroth (whose attire you would see on daytime TV is only during a women's shampoo commercial) and her pet tiger (whose fur...it seems to shimmer between white and orange) are doubleteaming the other woman, with tooth and spear. The other woman's wearing the tunic, and is blocking the attacks with the Ship's Helm in her right hand, and occasionally parrying.

Thing is, they're completely silent. Everything inside the circle makes absolutely no sound.

Edit: Oh, yes; I did miss that twice.
...
As punishment, they both seem to ignore the filthy dragon.

[The Bushranger]

[Inside Infirmary]

Quinn nods to Long Tooth. "Any help would be appreciated. Have we met, by the way? I'm Quinn." And she holds out her hand in greeting.




"Mommy won't let him eat people!" Jamie whispers back, but clearly she thinks hiding is a good idea anyway.

---

[Outside Infirmary]

Alex doesn't seem to be very impressed with Ishtaroth's attire (or lack therof), as he marches right up to the circle, intending to march right into it.
The white-haired, somewhat brassy/dark-complexioned young man happens to have slightly magical blood, if that counts for anything in getting through it. (Brass Dragon and Drow, to be precise)

[horngeek]

Long Tooth shakes it. "My name's Long Tooth, Full Moon Lunar Exalted, and an elder of the Silver Pact. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Quinn."

He grins.

[ApeofLight]

Outside the Infirmary

" Okay, that's it. I'm going to knock the both of them out and tie them down in the infirmary until they can work through this with out killing each other. " He says hefting his sword up as golden scales form around his body.

Then Garth steps into the circle and waits for one to get close enough so that he can knock her out with the broad side of his sword. He's hoping it doesn't do too much damage.

[The Bushranger]

"Well, if we're going by full titles, I'm Quinn, Head of Pastoral Care of the Good League of Good, and Champion of Neirian." Quinn grins back, her handshake firm.


Jamie is stil trying to urge Abigail to join her and Sinopa under the bed.

[horngeek]

Long Tooth sighs. "And just my luck, you already have a boyfriend. Ah, well. Shall we go check up on the kids?"

----

Abigail looks confused. "Why are we going under the bed?"

[Je dit Viola]

Inside the Infirmary

"I think you're right. She won't let him eat anybody," says Sinopa, still under the medical bed to hide from the 'werewolf' Long Tooth.

"There's a werewolf with big teeth out there!" answers the foxgirl.

Outside the Infirmary

It's just a perfectly normal circle, drawn in the dirt. Anything could cross it.

And, it turns out that it's not the circle that's making no sound come from the three (the women and the tiger). Garth probably knows what it is, though.

As they fight, they communicate mentally, sorta. Mostly by looking in each other's eyes. Sister! There's another filthy cursed dragon!
This place is overrun with them! They've entered the sacred circle!

They both stop fighting, and turn their weapons towards the dragon-men.

Neither of them got close enough to Garth to get knocked out.

[KerfuffleMach2]

At this point, some of the people inside may hear knocking on the front door.

It's not the steady knocking of somebody here for a visit. It's more of the erratic knocking of somebody a little more desperate.

[ApeofLight]

Outside the Infirmary

Garth draws his sword and readies himself to fight them. " Alright, you can either calm down and do this the easy way with no killing or... " He brings his sword to the ready position.

Then he looks over at Alex. " I can explain this later if you want stranger. " He says and then looks back towards the two women that now want to fight them.

[The Bushranger]

[Infirmary, under bed]

Jamie tries to pull Abigail the rest of the way under, and nods as best she can in the cramped conditions, in agreement with Sinopa.
"We need to hide until he goes away!"

---

[Infirmary, not under bed]

"Not just a boyfriend, a fiancé."
Quinn grins.
"And we probably should, since Jamie thinks you're a werewolf and I can't convince her you're not."

...then, hearing knocking on the Infirmary door, she goes to open it.

---

[Outside the Infirmary]

Alex, who is ~1/4 brass dragon, glares at the two women.
Clearly, he is not a happy camper.
"What is the meaning of this, fighting on our grounds, and," he points down, "Making a circle in MY sOD?!"

Oh, no! They've cheesed off the Groundskeeper!

He doesn't even seem to hear Garth.

[horngeek]

"Nuts.

Werewolf? I don't think we have those in Creation... which means we don't. I've been around for over one and a half milennia, I should know."

Long Tooth turns... and opens the door!

Abigal hears Long Tooth saying he doesn't know what a werewolf is... and whispers. "But he doesn't even know what they are! How can he be a werewolf?"

{{Incidentally... smell wouldn't pick up anything about Long Tooth. You might pick up the tail, though.}}

[KerfuffleMach2]

[Entrance]

Quinn will find a man leaning against the door frame. He's tall and skinny, with short black hair that kind of spikes up. He wears boots, slim pants, and a sleeveless shirt. He has a belt at the waist, and two that cross his chest. Those seem to hold the various swords that are on his back. There's a hilt above each shoulder, the hilts of dual swords behind his head, and the hilt of a short sword on his right side at waist level. He wears a cloth blindfold, yet he looks right at Quinn like he could see. What parts of his skin are visible are covered in tribal style tattoos.

The tattoos seem odd. Most of them are solid black ink, but here and there, bits of a deep red can be seen on his right arm...

Oh wait. That's not tattoo ink. That's blood.

His ride hand is clutching his side, and his shirt there is soaked with blood.

Is there...a doctor here...? He seems out of breath.

[Je dit Viola]

Outside the Infirmary

They're both holding their weapons, and their stances, defensively. They don't make a sound...until the tiger bites off the anklet around Ariana.

"I have claimed this plot of land in the name of my goddess Astarte Bachros, the goddess of love and war."
"No, I claimed it in the name of Caer Aurora, goddess of love and ice! Because the woman in there ordered us not to kill each other on the grounds of this GLoG. Filthy cursed dragon, you wish to fight us?"

INside the Infirmary

The smell of a big wolf with sharp teeth got stronger! (She's smelling the tail, then. Since, y'know, part-canines can smell other part-canines) Sinopa curls further back under the bed. "He's coming," she whispers.

[horngeek]

{{Je Dit, she shouldn't be picking up a wolf smell. Lunar shapeshifting does hide smell.}}

[ApeofLight]

Outside the Infirmary

" Okay that's it. I'm not a filthy dragon! I'm only part dragon dang it! " Garth says and then leaps towards the closest crazy sister. He's trying to not kill them or hurt them to bad so Garth is using the broadside of his sword.

[FireFox]

Toby undeadtimes to find his infirmary far more crowded than it needs to be. Quinn, AMEN sent Jack here, wherever he actually is right now, to take Abigail, or any other of the girls who escaped them at the slave market. He can teleport, move faster than the eye can follow, and claims he can't die.

Anshu and Cerise, your kids are here, safe and sound. You should probably take them away, seeing how things are shaping up here. Oh, and we need to have a little chat, sooner or later. Nothing angry or threatening in his voice at all; for all they know, he has something to say about the slave market fight, or a new truffle recipe.

[The Bushranger]

((Well, apparently foxgirl kits can smell it.

Jamie reaches to put an arm around Sinopa and hug her tight as she back up as well!
"Maybe he doesn't know what he is! That happens!" she whispers back to Abigail.

---

"Oh, my! Come in, come in - I'm a doctor. What happoened to you?" Quinn says, quickly trying to pull the man in and to an infirmay bed!

She looks up at Toby, and frowns. "If it bleeds, we can kill it. And I'm willing to bet, he bleeds," she growls.

---

"What what you say about my grandmother Mirage," Alex snaps at the two women. "And your claims are irrelevant. This land belongs to the orginasation, and I think the goddess Neirian might have something to say about other goddesses moving in here, as well. So why don't you two just go somewhere else and be a nuisance elsewhere!"

[FireFox]

Look, I took his eye, and he turned my jaw into bloody powder. What I'm trying to say, dear, is that I've fought him for long enough to make me the de facto expert on him. Toby sighs, looking a little annoyed at Quinn. So trust me when I tell you that the b*stard does not bleed. He's empty inside. Just a hollow man.

[KerfuffleMach2]

[Infirmary]

The man winces as he is brought to a bed.

I got jumped...couple a guys with some daggers...they were too fast...got one, though... There was a hint of pride on that last part.

[Je dit Viola]

Inside the Infirmary
Probably should've mentioned that earlier...
So, ret-conning? She saw his tail when he came out to fight Jack after Jack talked with her. Then, she saw the wolf-tail, and it terrified her. Then, unless he's completely scentless like a deoderant, she picked out his scent so she would know to avoid the big guy with the wolf tail and probably big sharp teeth and a big snout.

Edit: Sinopa is hugged.

Outside the infirmary

They don't reply to Alex, because they're obviously too busy blocking Garth. The closest sister was Ishtaroth, but Ariana blocks the hugesword with the helm wheel. "If you're not a cursed demon beast, stop claiming to be one!" Ariana shouts at Garth.

[horngeek]

"Stabbed him in the back of the neck with Starmetal claws. Got the same result as your fiancee."
