Re: [JMC_Blue_Dwarf] A deathly silence

Who: Canazza, Timmy, Elwood, E-45
Where: Their Starbug
When: THE TIME IS NOW! LIVE FOR THE MOMENT! etc etc...
Having just ditched the evil WhiteWolf using the old 'let a drunk fly while playing bohemian rhapsody' manoeuvre, the intrepid band of misfits boldly ventured forth into the unknown.
"------" slurred Canazza
"------!!!!!!" Exclaimed Elwood, "----------"
"---------" E-45 complained.
Elwood mashed the keyboard, a message appeared on all monitors, "What the hell?!"
E-45 turned to a console
"We can't talk" he typed.
Elwood looked around, although the inside of a starbug is usually grey anyway, he noticed all the flashing lights were grey too
"It looks like a silent movie" He Typed
"-------" Canazza frantically waved his arms trying to get someone to hear him
"I think - " E-45 typed, then quickly deleted, he typed it three more times, deleting it each time
"Spit it out man" Elwood typed
"I think it's a mime field"
"Stupid pun," Elwood paused, "What's a mime fild" he shook his head, "Field"
"Its when everything in it turns into a mime act, including colour, since all mimes are"
E-45 used up all the room in the text box and waited before continuing
"In black and white, the field does that too"
"Will there be a melodramatic villain with a moustache?"
"That's 1920's cinema, not mime sir"
They turned to Canazza who appeared to be crouching, his face was of pure terror
"OH NO!" Elwood typed, "He's trapped in an invisible box!"
Elwood skuttered over to the poor drunken trapped engineer and opened the box for him.
"-------" Said Canazza, Elwood could clearly see he was mouthing 'thanksshhh' as he was covered in lager flavoured spittle.
There was a blip on the scanner (well, not really a 'blip' there wasn't a sound or anything) - it was a Clown Vessel entering the mime field
Elwood turned to the console and aimed the weapons. Just as he was about to fire the clown commando took out their engines,
"All power is down" Elwood typed, "Including weapons,"
"Oh pooh" E-45 typed
"We have to think like mimes, what would mimes do"
"Pull out a really big gun?"
"Good plan"
Elwood skuttered over to the man in a drunken stupor who was supposed to be flying the vessel, and typed on his console "Hey, I got a great game, lets play pretend to shoot the evil clown vessel out of the sky"
"----! ----- ---- -----!" Canazza slurred,
Elwood didn't really understand the mime, Canazza sort of pulled something out of his pocket, Elwood thought it was a revolver, but he held it like a remote control, he raised his index finger and pressed a button.
What happened next really frightened Elwood, since he didn't realise the mime field was so powerful.
Electricity sparked around the craft to the gestures of Canazza's hands, he thrust them forwards and the electricity struck the clown vessel as it was coming around for another pass and blew it out of the sky
"Kick Ass" elwood typed
