The Tea Room (Renovated)

[No One]

*Kicks Siggy 2 to his own detriment, left hopping about on one foot*

Dammit, just because you're a better breed doesn't mean you can ignore my orders!

*Siggy 2 turns sharply on having his discipline questioned, then turns and approaches Hoopy. He stops within arms' reach, looks her up and down as if measuring her potential threat...and merely smiles in conclusion*

[HoopyFrood]

What the-? *Turns to see the grenade, then manages to look around before the light blows her eyes out of her head*

Gah!

*Fumes and turns to Sig II* One little grab and hold from me, big 'un, and even you with all your fancy gadgetry won't stand a chance! *Also kicks him*

[The Ace]

Digs out the first-aid kit, but he's too busy laughing to use it yet.

[sloweye]

*chuckles while he looks for another stick*

[No One]

*Siggy seems amused at the feeble kick and grabs Hoopy's left arm for several moments to prove his entire lack of discomfort*

Like I said, Hoopster. Hours. Maybe days. Anyway, Siggy 2 - execute Order 2501!

*Siggy then places his other giant hand on Hoopy's arm and twists each hand in the opposite direction to deliver the mother of all chinese burns*

[HoopyFrood]

Gah! OW! Holy crap! *Falls to her knees* My arm...argh...

*Nurses her arm and hears the other two laughing at her*

[No One]

*Siggy 2 seems to get a chill up his spine, as the light gets his attention once more. He turns away from Hoopy and moves back into the light.*

Siggy 2...whatcha doing there fella?

*Siggy growls at the light, his armour flaring light and dark. He moves further in, until he can't be seen at all. His voice, however, is heard clearly...*

"None must know of this. The light is nothing. The light is death."

*He moves still further in, when there's a sudden pulse of light and release of energy that sweeps through the tea room. Having collapsed the spatial channel through which the light was emitting, all further emanations cease for now. Siggy 2 is nowhere to be seen...*

Oh...crap.

[HoopyFrood]

*Pushes herself upright* There's a shame. Two birds, one stone.

*Shrugs* I know, I'm a joke. Not one to be taken seriously at all around here. What's Hoopy up to? Oh, something stupid again, always getting herself into trouble.

So there's your possession for you -- none whatsoever. I've just been having some fun. Sure, it was pretty terrifying in there at first, but I'm all about the horror, aren't I, so it seemed like the done thing to get on board.

Laugh away, laugh at me, but things are set now and the end of October is always going to come. The death of the year. The murder of the sun -- will it come back? Tear off Hallowe'en's gaudy mask and have a bite of what's underneath. It's not so sweet.

[No One]

Stupid Siggy 2! I didn't figure on Chrispy's light bringing out the age-old dilemma of his race.

Gah! Do you realise how much it costs to make a call to the other side of the galaxy? It's not cheap, I can tell ya. Oh well...

Think I'll be bidding y'all a good night then.

Hoopy, enjoy the horror. Have some fun. You look like you could use it.

[nixie]

A bit of fun she says, well rowan is no fun

[sloweye]

*Wonders in with a stick dripping in age defying acne cream*

Shhhhhh!

*hides*

[HoopyFrood]

*Peers out of the cupboard*

[No One]

*walks in, at least relieved to get rid of the welder's goggles, and takes a seat, apparently unawares of anyone else in the room*

[sloweye]

*giggles from behind the sofa*

[HoopyFrood]

*Leans further out of the cupboard and waves her fingers at No* Aw, all alone? Not even a bodyguard around?
