Assassins Round 3: Game Play

[teri tait]

Suddenly, a large cavern looms before you. Daylight refracts through a thick vein of crystals in the roof, illuminating a golden throne, on which sits a humanoid in strange, organic looking armour. There are 2 huge doors on the far side of the cavern, both closed at the minute.

*checks out the humanoid being*

Hey cutie, you seen any ghosts?

*pokes the humanoid with a stick*

Hey, buddy, you awake?

[Lance]

Hey dragon... I mean ox, fix that, would ya.

Light thay guy up, just a little. I don't want to get too close.

Teri, get back from there. It's going to get warmer.

[Dragon Star]

Thank god, lot more room here! *S/S back into myself*

Hey dragon... I mean ox, fix that, would ya.

What do you mean?

Light that guy up, just a little. I don't want to get too close.

You want me to flame the dead guy?

[teri tait]

Ewwww, he's dead?

*stops poking humanoid being and edges away*

[Dragon Star]

Uh, yea he is dead, not notice he HAS NO SKIN?

*Looks over the dead, clothed corpse*

Hmm...he is holding some paper.

*Pulls the paper out of his hand and opens it*

It says:

July 13th, 1962

Jinkys!! And we never would have found it if it weren't for that meddling dragon.

What happened to Umop and Lance? Jimmy? OMG, everybodys gone!!!!

*runs through the shut double doors*

[Dragon Star]

*Watches Teri run into the shut doors, effectively knocking herself out cold*



They were on the other side of the room examining the wall paintings.

*Pokes Teri with a stick*

[Мастер]

You're all dead.

[Dragon Star]

Where in the hell did that voice come from? Lance, was that you?

[teri tait]

You're all dead.

A disembodied voice!!

*whips out some holy water and begins flinging it all around*

[Dragon Star]

How is your head Teri?

[teri tait]

How is your head Teri?

*glares at DS*

Fine, but someone has been poking my sore arm with a stick!!!

*holds out arm pathetically for all to see*

[Dragon Star]

Well, how do you think the dead guy that you were poking feels?

[umop ap!sdn]

Umm...anyone happen to look at the date?

OK that does it. I am officially spooked.

[OOC]I was at work, by the way[/OOC]

[Lance]

Hey dragon... I mean ox, fix that, would ya.

What do you mean?

Just that... Change back to a dragon. Thanks

Light that guy up, just a little. I don't want to get too close.

You want me to flame the dead guy?

I just want to be sure he's dead.

Uh, yea he is dead, not notice he HAS NO SKIN?

Oh, okay. I defer to your super dragon senses. He must have been dead for a long time.

Sincerely, Bill Bradley.

Umm...anyone happen to look at the date?

Well, it was a Friday, "Friday the 13th".

What happened to Umop and Lance? Jimmy? OMG, everybodys gone!!!!

*runs through the shut double doors*

Teri, turn around, we're over here. You're looking in the closet.

*oops, too late*

That's gonna leave a mark.

*Watches Teri run into the shut doors, effectively knocking herself out cold*

You know, I love her dearly, but she's not always the brightest candle on the cake. She reminds me of the color periwinkle sometimes... Kinda pretty but not too bright.

You're all dead.

:shock:

Where in the hell did that voice come from? Lance, was that you?

Uh.... It wasn't me.

Oh, it was the porter I sent back to get the box of Oxen Treats when I thought we were going to need them. But I forgot to mention that it was Chris Porter, the comedian from Last Comic Standing. He was just having a bit of a laugh with us. "Hey Chris, you're an asshole, you know that? Please give the Oxen Treats to teri. She is the keeper of all things sweet. Yeah, the whole box."

Umm...anyone happen to look at the date?

OK that does it. I am officially spooked.

Is there something I'm missing with the date?

July 13, 1962 500 Indonesian parachutist land on New-Guinea
July 13, 1962 91st British Golf Open: Arnold Palmer shoots a 276 at Royal Troon
July 13, 1962 U.S. performs nuclear test at Nevada Test Site

[Dragon Star]

Just that... Change back to a dragon. Thanks

The first time I heard you it sounded totally different!

[umop ap!sdn]

Is there something I'm missing with the date?

It was exactly 44 of those units of time type things ago. (Or it was when I wrote that post.) You know which units I mean, right?

OK, maybe I'm being paranoid, but I'm going to fire up the infrared camera to see if I can record anything.

In fact, I've even got an idea... could one of you hold this magnifying glass up for me? I'm going to light a match, hold it so that the lens projects its image onto the wall, and then photograph the image with the infrared camera. Then if we ever return to the world of the living we can post the video on GLP and say that it's a ghost.

[teri tait]

*slaps Dragon Star's hand away*

I'll hold it up for you, Umop.

[umop ap!sdn]

Thank ya, Teri. :D

I thought Dragon Star didn't have hands. :? (Not that he's not welcome to help out with the video.)

Down to only 5 posts today... I'm going to play a little Russian Roulette. Match fire light glow radiation bright big blue bunny bear brat bug butt bum boot book break binding glue grue get gas grass ass goat llama not a llama duck goose sparrow robin jay quail pheasant emu flamingo cassowa-- *THUD*

[teri tait]

Wow, you sounded just like an auctioneer, Umop, I was just about ready to bid on something

[Dragon Star]

*slaps Dragon Star's hand away*

I'll hold it up for you, Umop.

Don't make me burn you bitch.

I thought Dragon Star didn't have hands. [Confused] (Not that he's not welcome to help out with the video.)

Well, I suppose it's all relative, hands? No, only humans have hands, but five digits and a palm and some really long, sharp nails? Yes, have those.

[Lance]

Dragons have hand-like things. It was when he was an ox that he needed help.

[umop ap!sdn]

Oh.

Right then.

*lights match*

Ooooooh, the image of the flame looks really spooky in the sights of the infrared camera. In fact, I see what looks vaguely like a face. I think I can edit it in Paint Shop Pro to make the face more obvious. Aaaaaaaaaaaand... cut. Okay, I think we have enough here. :D

*puts out the match and puts away the camera, only to discover that there really is a ghostly face with red glowing eyes on the wall in that spot!!!!*

[Dragon Star]

GAH!

Everyone stand back.

*flames the shit out of the wall*

Did I get it? Where did it go?
