"No!  We have to get away from here!  Right now!"
protested Amber rapidly.  "Why?" asked Keto, frowning
slightly.  Not that he was disagreeing...but if there was something to be
worried about in those ruins, he wasn't wanting to be the first one
inside.

“What’s in there that’s got
you so scared?” Jay asked
“Please…” Amber said “Let’s
just get back to the shuttles”
”Hey I banned you from flying
remember? I’m not gonna give the order to let you fly another one without
knowing why!”
Jay soon got his answer.
The castle’s drawbridge lowered, not
that it needed too as the castle had several large holes in the walls, and it didn’t
even have a moat…you could have just gone around, but where’s the
fun in that?
The bridge fell, landing hard on one of
Dean’s body parts over a tonne of wood crashing down on his love spuds. “FFFFFFFFFFFFFffffffffffffffffffttttttttttttttttttttttttnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”
Was heard from high on the hill’s followed by a loud “Ssssshh prescioussss
“
The looked over at the now open gateway to
the castle, the silhouette  a large-built figure on horseback, flanked by
several other horse-backed riders, filled the arch.
“Don’t these guy’s
learn?” Jay said to himself, setting his arm alight for effect.
“NOOOO!” screamed Amber “We’re
too late!”
The figure’s horse stepped forward into
the light. “Hello again, always a pleasure”
“Um..Phil?” Jay whispered “Didn’t
I kill him?”
Phil just shrugged.
“Yes Mr Chrysler” Evil Phil
said, apparently hearing Jay’s whispering voice across a fair distance “You
did kill me….figured it was time I repaid the favour! WRAITHS! CHAAAARRGGGGEE!”
“Wot? But I’m trying to clear
my credit card this month!” replied one of the Wraiths.
“Oh forget it, just attack!”

Everything Happens At Once
 
Who:
Landing Party Group By The Castle RuinsWhere: By The Castle Ruins, DuhWhen: Sheesh, Don't Ask Me=============  To Keto, everything seemed to have happened
too fast.  Tara was presumed to be
somewhere within the castle, having followed the emohawk.  The castle now
consisting of a pile of rubble with a few pieces still standing, the odds of her
survival were not considered high.  Keto wouldn't have minded,
but it was so hard to find good help nowadays.  Amber had, from what he could tell,
flickered for a second and then collapsed...which occurred about thirty seconds
before everything had exploded.  That couldn't just be a
coincidence.  Dante and Keats had marched boldly off into
what remained of the castle, after making what was apparently meant to
be a moving speech about the values of friendship, loyalty and the
contents of dead men's wallets.  Keto could appreciate at
least one of them, but he was damned if he was going to follow them
inside.  Instead, he headed towards where Amber had collapsed at the back of
the group, and gingerly nudged her with a foot as if he was
expecting her to explode (which, given where they were, could very well
happen).<<SNIP>>[Amber] sat up bolt upright, tears on her face,
terrified.  "Dad, we have to leave." She said
to her father. "Please Dad, trust me!"<<END SNIP>>  "What was that?" asked Phil,
turning around to face where his daughter was scrambling to her feet and Keto was
trying to recover from the near shock-induced heart attack he felt
was very close.  Before Amber could say anything, however, a
strange hunched figure came bounding out of the ruins, carrying a bag of
some sort.<<SNIP>>"Ah!" shouted a startled McJohn as he
found himself facing the rest of the Blue Dwarf crew. His face assumed the
expression of a rather startled gecko.  He pulled Dean's head from
the bag and cradled in his arms against his chest."Mine! Mine!" he shouted/hissed,
"My precioussss... You can't haves it!""I'm not gonna forget this!" shouted
Dean's head.Jay edged closer to Mark, then made a grab for the
head.  McJohn hissed and scamped back into one of the castle's
hundreds of convienently located alcoves.  "You
can't haves it! Nasty fat smeggerses!""Well, now what?" Alota wondered aloud."Shouldn't you know, Captain?" said an
anonymous wise-ass."Shut up.""Yes ma'am."<<END SNIP>>  Keto blinked, wondered vaguely why he'd
said "yes ma'am" like any regular subservient crewmember, realised it was
because Alota could actually have him kicked out of an airlock without
a suit, and coughed quietly.  "Well," he said, "Much
though I hate to point it out, three...and a half...of our crewmembers are still missing, two
of them probably still alive in some form or another (not counting
Dean's head, which barely qualifies as above mineral), and we've
still to work out who built this castle, set the Plebes against us and
so forth.  And we haven't even begun mining which, as far as I
recall, was the whole purpose of a mining vessel."  "For once the doc's not being
completely out of his mind," agreed Jay reluctantly, then hastily added,
"Dear" when Alota threw a glare in his direction.  "We should go inside
and look for Dean's head, Tara, Dante and Keats."  "No!  We have to get away from
here!  Right now!" protested Amber rapidly.  "Why?" asked Keto, frowning
slightly.  Not that he was disagreeing...but if there was something to be
worried about in those ruins, he wasn't wanting to be the first one
inside.============OOC: Tag.  I've been a little overwhelmed
with beginning-of-term work so haven't posted for a while.  I think I've
kept track as best I can, and haven't screwed anything up majorly with
this post, but let me know if I have.  - Chris (JHXMT)JMC's
