The Asylum

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Well, yes, I suppose we can shove her out into the cold and have them pick her up when they return?

[The Ace]

"Troll children are rare to start with, a princess even more so. Our best shot is to put her back where we found her as soon as possible.

You know how difficult it is to kill a troll ? Well, every one of her subjects would die to get her back."

Holds out a flat, grey object to the troll, who grabs it before hiding under the table. Crunching ensues.

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

It wasn't totally my fault, I thought I was saving her from a stew. How did I know she crawled into my medic pack?


Brownie!!!

[The Ace]

"You have to ask the right way," pours a generous single malt.

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

That's easy for you to say, you're not the one the trolls will try to tear limb from limb.


Come on out, Brownie, and I'll give you a shot of my own personal whisky, aged twenty years in a fine maple barrel!

[The Ace]

The usual brown blur, the glass empties and the Ace is left holding a book.

"' Dimension travel made easy, Vol I adjusting a teleport booth.' He's come up trumps again."

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Thanks, Brownie. You've saved my hide. *Pours a shot of the special whisky*

[tigerlily14]

*Comes in muttering unhappily*

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

What's wrong with you? Septimus, I know this is a semi-emergency situation, but slide TL some Nyquil-I mean, some diet coke, please.

[tigerlily14]

Gee....thanks....*throws pillow at Karn*...i'm just moody...so long as you don't mess up my hair today, i'm all good

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Moody, hell. At least you don't have two hundred angry trolls on your trail that think you've kidnapped their princess....


Hey! That's an idea! I can pin the whole thing on TL! Yes!

[The Ace]

"Hi TL, any good with tools ?"

Fetches his toolbox and begins to rummage in the cupboard as a scaly hand emerges from under the table and makes an unmistakeable gesture, "Same again, Quintus. Karn, if they get in here they don't care who they find. Anyway a) That's despicable. b) They've seen you."

"If we want to survive, her highness will have to be home before bed-time and the only way to do that is to work."

[tigerlily14]

Damn...i always seem to walk in in the bad moments....and you better not blame me....or once ur out of that damn suit i'll freeze u again and this time make sure there is no fire going
and yes...i'm good w/ tools

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Okay, okay, I'll take the responsibility for it. I suppose you're right about the second reason.


I'm not that good with tools, though....the last time I tried anything technological it turned things into scrambled eggs-without the egg.

[tigerlily14]

alright Ace, what do you need...because Karn isn't going to be any help
