The Asylum

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

*Tempest flies up in concern*

"Ace! Is Karn alright? He's not dead is he? Will he wake up?"

[The Ace]

Eventually, yes, can you open the bunker ? We'll need its medical gear on the pair of them, I don't know the first thing about healing elementals.

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

*Tempest pulls the trapdoor to the Bunker open*


"Um, I think there's a magic book down there that Karn keeps specifically for healing himself. He's paranoid about aliens. But whether it will work on the princess, I don't know..."

[The Ace]

I just hope it's that big, black one beside the bed, there's no way I'm rummaging around in here.

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

"That's the one, Ace. And it's not too bad down there! Unless you forgot a flashlight? Karn never did finish setting up the electricity in there...."



*Karn and the princess both groan and stir around, Karn awakening first*


Ugh....where....?

*The princess opens her eyes slowly* "Karn! You saved me! Oh thank you thank you thank you!!!" *She snuggles up to him, holding his arm in a death embrace while he looks decidedly uncomfortable*


"Scratch that, Ace, they're recovering on their own at this point....though Her Royal Highness is sure acting strangely....."

[Esioul]

I have spent all my pringle fund No more til October

[The Ace]

Freda snuggles up to Esioul and offers to share.

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Septimus, I need some tea. Blueberry, if you don't mind, please.



*Karn takes a sip when the princess speaks*



"I want to name Karn my king consort when we get back home!"


*Karn coughs and splutters, spraying tea all over Esioul, Freda, and Ace* You want to do WHAT!?!

[chrispenycate]

A scratchy voice comes through the loudspeakers.

Elementals are incredibly tough, just about unkillable unless you get very lucky and a matched pair of opposites, but they just haven't got the mindset for building decent defensive castles.

Even through the lo-fi connection the background rumble sounds ominously powerful. Like an earthquake or avalanche or
like a very big, ornamental building disintegrating

They should have bonded the foundations onto bedrock. They were too proud to employ any of the inferior races to do their architecture, weren't they?

Cries of horror and pain from a variety of very non-human throats. The system is distorting a hundred percent with its attempts to reproduce levels way above its design parameters, but still the throat mic cuts through.

Four undines, just four. No major players at all. You think the minor sprites liked the change to committee rule? Nothing that old will ever embrace change if it isn't essential.

There is thunder, wildfire, torrent mixed with the background noise by now; beings getting out, not while the gettings good, but while it feels as if it's getting still worse.

I suspect you're going to need a new palace, princess. A mere insignificant human, eh? No magic, no powers.

And this time get a decent civil engineer to do the foundations.

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

"I want my consort to help you build. He built the old palace and it stood for four thousand years!"


I am NOT your King Consort!


"Oh, you don't really mean that!" *The princess giggles and plants a kiss on Karn's cheek* "Go and help build our new home in our new land. There was a previously uninhabited realm that I scoped as backup should our attack fail. And Chris-human. I will accept thee as a technology merchant between our worlds and as our supervising engineer."

[nixie]

Freda you can untie me now, Tabby has blocked them out completly

Karn she can't stay, I'd kill her within a week

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

I don't WANT her to stay, Nixie! *Karn's voice is whiny* SHE wants to marry ME!


"I don't have to stay, Your Highness. Karn will stay with me in the new Elemental Realm."


Yes, and the sun is made of cheese! I don't want to marry the princess, Nixie!

[Deathpool]

Gives Freda some pringles.

[nixie]

Its not going to happen

Juken flys over to DP. *you want to play in chocolate fountain*

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

*The princess' eyes flash in rage and she fires off a powerful thunder bolt, hitting Nixie full in the chest*


"I'm going and I'm taking him with me!" *She tosses down a portal gem and grabs Karn by the arm, pulling him through as the portal closes*




"Nixie, are you alright? She kidnapped Karn!"
