Chapter 63: Circular Reasoning
*Two weeks and five days later... I'm lazy, sue me.*
Travis: Are we there yet?
Akki: No.
Travis: Are we there yet?
Jerrica: No!
Travis: Are we th-
*Make that two weeks, five days, and thirteen hours later*
Travis: *bruised* Finally, we arrive!
Akki: Just in time too. Darknight is only a few hours away... Travis stop doing that.
Travis: *tap-dancing on Akki's head* Sorry... *jumps down*
Dayn: Watch out for shiny signs. I don't want to use the crowbar again.
Dutchess: Oh crap!
Sign: Welcome to the Stone Circle! Proudly since who the hell cares, it's a Stone Circle that opens on Darknight. Population: One very pissed off multi-headed chaos dragon and other assorted chaos monsters. Admittance you and one other only!
Travis: Very specific... *holding Akki in a choke-hold as she strains to get to the sign*
Akki: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Dutchess: *biting Akki's ankle*
Dayn: Agh. *carves the sign into pieces and slaps Akki*
Akki: Agh! Sorry. What the hell's in those signs?
Travis: We've been wondering the same thing...
*in a factory far away*
Boilerplate Inc CEO: MORE GOLDONIUM! UP PRODUCTION! MAKE THEM ALL SHINE, SHINE, SHINE!
Dwarf with sunglasses: Sir, we're already at maximum production... you're just yelling at a broken microphone.
CEO: Oh yeah. We've done this before, haven't we? Wait... what's a My' krow' foen?
Dwarf: The talky thing.
CEO: Oh. FIX IT!
Dwarf: *sigh* Yes sir.
*back to the heroes*
Travis: Did anybody else have a sudden sense of... oh what is it I'm feeling?
Dayn: The feeling like the signs are part of something stupid we've overlooked?
Travis: Something like that. *is tap-dancing on Jerrica's head*
Jerrica: *ninjas Travis in the face* STOP THAT!
Travis: *on the ground* ow... *gets up* anyway, we should decide who's going in with me.
Akki: I'm not going in there. I'm kinda scared of dragons... especially multi-headed chaos dragons...
Jerrica: I'm not going in there...
Travis: That's fine. I fight best with Dayn anyway. :D
Dayn: LOOK A DISTRACTION! *points*
Travis: Ugh... Dutchess?
Dutchess: Sure, I'll go.
Travis: Great. Now we just gotta figure out how to get in... *starts pushing on a wall*
Dutchess: You're doing it wrong. *headbutts Travis causing both to somehow pass through the wall*
Akki: And there they go...
*Inside the stone circle*
Travis: Ow...
Dutchess: X_O My spleen.
Travis: *applies copious amounts of first aid to Dutchess*
Dutchess: Thanks.
Travis: No problem... *starts muttering*
Dutchess: What are you mut-
Travis: Eight Writhing Masses of Primal Chaos... and, as the sign said, one very pissed off dragon.
Dutchess: O_o how do you know that?
Travis: I read a scroll of monster detection.
Dutchess: Oh...
WMoPC: Gurgle! *swings one of its... appendages at Dutchess*
Dutchess: *dodges* Damn, these things are fast.
Travis: *surrounded by WMoPC 2-8* Nothing I can't handle... *eyes go purple*
Dutchess: *eats WMoPC 1* ... *throws up*
Travis: *wielding WMoPC 2 as a weapon* They probably don't taste very good... *smashes WMoPC 3 with WMoPC 2 and sets it ablaze with burning hands*
Dutchess: They taste HORRIBLE! *grows horns* Look, I'm h-
Censorship Man: NOOOOOOOOO! *explodes*
Travis: No time for jokes anyway... *pimp slaps two WMoPC's *
WMoPCs 8 and 4: O_o *are both simultaneously crushed by large boulders*
WMoPC 5: *holding red cape* Tauro Tauro!
Dutchess: *charges at WMoPC 5*
WMoPC 5: Olé! *jumps out of the way*
Travis: *holds up a card with a 4 on it*
WMoPC 6: *holds up a card with a 4.5 on it*
WMoPC 7: *holds up a card with a 1 on it*
Travis: >_> *ninja kicks WMoPC 7 into WMoPC 6*
Dutchess: *gores WMoPC 5* That's the last one.
Travis: Good. Now to find this dra- *turns around to come face to face to face to face to face with a very pissed off dragon* -gon.
Keriax: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR!
Travis: O_O oh snap
