Its Just a Jump to the Left

Inside the Castle

“Seriously this is bloody libel! Who do I need to sue?”
“PSST! JAY DUDE!” Whispered Jaxx “We’re in!”
“You wot?” said the guard “In what?”
“Erm…” Jay said, then shrugged and smacked the guard hard around the back of the head with his crucifix, making him stumble forward and toppled from the drawbridge where he splashed into the water, his heavy armour making him sink.
“Why couldn’t you have just done that in the first place?” Plisken asked.

Jacky appeared.

"Where'd you come from?" asked Plisken.
"I don't even know. Given the apparent situation, it hardly seems important, though." Jacky said.
"I guess." said Plisken. "So what are you then?"
Jacky examined the guitar he had suddenly possessed.
"A bard, apparently." Jacky said. "If this is anything like Dn'D, I should be able to play some magic songs."
"Well, that sounds cool!" Jaxx said. "Try it out!"
"Well, playing the instrument for real is a lot different than rolling dice, but I'll give it a go." Jacky said.
He plucked a few strings at random, which made the water turn slightly purple.
"Oh. Well, that's certainly something."

Jaxx looked around the entrance of the dimly lit castle with the others and saw Gothic style decor. The furniture, paintings and decorations looked old but in very good condition. The chandeliers looked to be set on a dim setting and nicely displayed the two rows of statues in various poses along the wall. Jaxx said, “It totally kinda looks like a party frozen in time.” Evelina said, “Its kinda creepy. Lets try not to make to much noise if we can.” Everyone agreed and began walking through the main room. Unfortunately Alex’s bells were makings a lot of noise. Everyone turned to Alex with an annoyed face. Alex said, “Sorry folks it was my bells, so don’t be mean or I will yell.” Jade put her hand on Alex’s shoulder and said, “Just do the best you can ok.” Alex nodded as he sighed. Artemis asked, “I wonder who lives here?”

Suddenly the lights came on and a tall, skinny, hairy man in women’s lingerie (red corset, black lace panties, black stockings and red high heels) was standing on the last three stairs of a staircase smiling at them. Jaxx pointed at the cross dresser and asked Plisken, “Is he a friend of your Plisken dude?” Plisken balled up his fists as he muttered, “No!” The cross dresser said, “That would be me folks. Welcome to my humble abode. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dr. Scratchnsniff and you’re just in time.” Jay asked, “Just in time for what?” Dr. Scratchnsniff replied, “Just in time for my Ball.” Evelina asked, “What Ball? There is no one here.” Dr. Scratchnsniff smiled and said, “Oh contraire mon friar, everyone is already here for my ball. You see young lass, My Balls are the biggest Balls of them all.” Dr. Scratchnsniff snapped his fingers and the statues came to life and began to applaud to Dr. Scratchnsniff. Jaxx said, “Wow this dude is more messed up than me.” Jacky said, “No kidding. Oh I mean he is a whack job.” Jaxx ignored Jacky's comment.

The crew was rather unnerved by this outburst from the statues. They look back to Dr. Scratchnsniff as he was now standing on the floor by a set of mirrors reflecting to infinity.
Dr. Scratchnsniff then interrupted as he sang and music suddenly began to play from everywhere:

The people that were statues are tapping to the beat as the crew watches in awe.

It's astounding
Time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely

(Oh, not for very much longer)
I've got to keep control

The people that were statues are performing a rehearsed dance to the beat as the crew is a bit nervous.

I remember doing the time-warp
Drinking those moments when
The Blackness would hit me
And the void would be calling

Suddenly the crew members can’t help but mimic the dance the others are doing. The song possesses everyone’s body in to dancing.

Let's do the time-warp again
Let's do the time-warp again

It's just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
Put your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane

Let's do the time-warp again
Let's do the time-warp again

It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me
So you can't see me,
No, not at all
In another dimension
With voyeuristic intention
Well secluded, I see all

Evelina says to Jaxx, “Jaxx I got a bad feeling about this song. I think if we finish it we might turn into statues to when it’s over.” Jaxx replied, “Not cool Eve babe. What should we like do?” Evelina thought for a second and then said, “Jaxx flood the floor.” Jaxx said, “ok Eve babe.” As he poured his watering can onto the floor as he danced. Evelina began reading her spell book as she was dancing.

With a bit of a mind flip
You're into the time slip
And nothing can ever be the same
You're spaced out on sensation
Like you're under sedation

Alex said to Jade, “If we keep up this pace, we land on our face.” Jade nodded as she said, “This would be fun if it wasn’t so scary.

Let's do the time-warp again
Let's do the time-warp again

Atermis said to Plisken, “I think he may have some kind of device that is controlling us hidden in this room. We need to destroy it soon.” Plisken replied, “I was thinking the same thing.”

Well I was walking down the street
just a-having a think
When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink
He shook-a me up, he took me by surprise
He had a pickup truck, and the devil's eyes
He stared at me and I felt a change
Time meant nothing, never would again

Jacky said to Jay, “Don’t tell me this whole game is going to be like this?” Jay replied, “I’m afraid so Jacky. We need to hurry and advance in levels to stop the virus.” The water was now two inches high in the room.

Let's do the time-warp again
Let's do the time-warp again

It's just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
Put your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane

Just then Evelina found the spell she wanted and began casting it as she danced.

Let's do the time-warp again
Let's do the time-warp again
Let's do the time-warp again

Just as the end of the song was close Evelina cast her spell and made a small lightning blast at the water near Dr. Scratchnsniff who was standing in the water. The shock sent him flying up into the chandelier where he was holding on for dear life. The dancers and the crew members took a small jolt and were knocked down onto their backs.
