GLoG IX: Death is no longer cheap

[happyturtle]

"She wants to pull my strings. She's always been smarter than me, and she thinks she can just keep me at her beck and call."

[Lex-Kat]

Then don't go right away, Mistress. Take a stand and tell her that you are not her dumb sister anymore. That you'll be watching for any tricks she might pull.

[happyturtle]

"I know, but... what if she's in trouble?"

[Lex-Kat]

Lex looks a little confused, maybe a bit torn as to what to say. I guess it's possible, she did say she had a great need to see you. But what could you do for her, that her more evil intentioned friends couldn't?

If you want to go, I'll go with you.

[happyturtle]

Turtle smiles. "I know. I can always count on you."

"Maybe... I'll think about it." She gives her pixie a hug, and wanders off to meditate.

((deadtime))

[Kaelaroth]

Hey. George. Listen to me.

[happyturtle]

George sits up in bed, clutching his aching, hung over head.

I'm listening.

[Kaelaroth]

Listen harder. The big bad voice, I'm about to use. The one that'll make you obey. Love me.

[happyturtle]

... of course I love you. I've always loved you.

[Kaelaroth]

Fabulous. Babydoll, could you do me a little favour? Pwetty Pwease? Alek's voice bleeds temptation...

[happyturtle]

Of course, love. But... when can I see you? Not him, the real you.

[Kaelaroth]

When you've done this for me? In his room, there's a book, about simple hydrogen microbombs. Read it, spork one up, and blow either here, NO, or HALO kingdom come. Then, I'll come love you.

[happyturtle]

That doesn't make any sense. Why does that matter? Just let me love you. I'll make you happy.

Despite what he's saying though, George is already making his way to Czernov's room.

[Almighty Salmon]

There's several loud knocks on the front door.

[Kaelaroth]

You'll make me very happy by doing this. Alek whispers into George's mind.

Rose is asleep in a crib in Susan's room.

[Tempest Fennac]

Tempest enters the base before trying to find someone who can give him some Anti-Anti Magic Field scrolls.

[happyturtle]

Turtle answers the front door. She hasn't seen Tempest yet.

*********

George walks into Czernov's room. You were with me when he was gone, weren't you? I had you in my arms, made love to you, and I didn't know it was you.

[Kaelaroth]

That was me. Did you appreciate me...? The book is lying there on the bed. It's surprisingly short, a fairly simple to understand guide. A post-it on the book notes that Czer was planning to build one of these devices, the matierials are in his cupboard.

[Almighty Salmon]

Pizza for GLoG? A pizza delivery guys stands at the GloG door, twirling his dark moustache. He also wears his company baseball cap, concealing his hair.

[happyturtle]

George sighs longingly. You were amazing. I don't know how I could have thought it was him. He leaves with the book, not wanting Czernov to find him. Please, love, I'll do it, I swear. I just need to see you first.

**********

"Sorry, nobody ordered a pizza," Turtle says.

**********

Susan wakes up and smiles down at her sleeping baby.

[Tempest Fennac]

Tempest finds Happy (assuming HT doesn't mind.) Hi. You're definitly not possessed anymore, right?

[happyturtle]

Turtle looks from the pizza delivery man, down to Tempest, and turns red.

"Oh, Tempest. I've been meaning to come and apologize."

She's about to close the door in the delivery guy's face.

[Kaelaroth]

For a second, George will see a scantily clad Alek winking at him, before he flickers away. Do this for me, and you'll have me as much as you wa- His voice cuts off, suddenly.

Rose sighs in its sleep.

[Almighty Salmon]

The Pizza Guy quickly freezes and stops twirling his moustache. I'm pretty sure somebody did, Miss. He peeks past Turtle, looking into the GLoG base. Maybe you should invite me in, so we can talk about this.

[Tempest Fennac]

Okay. I'm just pleased that mess has been cleared up. Do you have any Anti-Anti Magic Field scrolls that I could have please? A friend needs them for combatting Draken (he appears to be responsible for the sword which possessed you). (Tempest does know about the Saphire Slayer possessing Happy, right?) To self. This guy looks suspitious. Why would anyone be that desparate to deliver food which nobody wants?

[Kaelaroth]

To self. This guy looks suspitious. Why would anyone be that desparate to deliver food which nobody wants?

((You have clearly never met my local delivery guys ))

[happyturtle]

((I'm sure everyone in acronym land has heard the story of the rampaging bride. =P ))

"Sure, Tempest. I'll be happy to help, to try to make up for the damage I did. Just let me get rid of this guy."

"No, you can't come in. We're at Threat Level: Elevated at the moment. If you think we owe you money, then send us an invoice."

*******

Alek! George tries to reestablish contact, only to clutch his hung-over head in agony. Alek, what happened? What's wrong? Are you okay?

*******

Susan can't resist picking up her sleeping child and cuddling it.

[Tempest Fennac]

(That's kind of worring, Kae. To be fair, TTempest has never ordered food before.)

Thanks. Why is your threat level elevated if you don't mind me asking?

[Kaelaroth]

Rose awakens, and bleats, quietly.

Alek's voice buzzes through Build Bomb, quick! Do it! D-D-D-D-D-D-D.....

((deadtimes. As always, HT has control over Rose while I'm not here.))

[Almighty Salmon]

Oh, i'll send you an invoice alright. An invoice of.. of pain. The Deliver Guy glares at Turtle before ripping off his hat and moustache, revealing Nomlas. You'll regret this, Turtle! Regret this dearly! With that, he grumbles and teleports out.
