Blah Blah Blah Title Update - aka I can't remember what the last title was, and I'm not going back a page to look at it.
The shadowy figure of shadows had firmly grasped ex-Captain Rex's belt buckle, and was about to remove the aformentioned belt from the ex-Capta- Hey, pervs! Bet you thought this would be another love making update, huh? Well, guess what? You are dead wrong. One per thread, that is what you get. Mmmm, I just had an exceptionally excellent idea- you can request who you want to see for the next scene! Yes, that will entice a return to this awful, disease ridden novel, with all of the horrible anecdotes I decide to tell you. There we go. I've ensnared you all in my web now. My awesome, awesome laser web, with fireballs and metal spikes and whatnot.
So, the shadowy figure threw ex-Captain Rex back across the room, and plucked his mighty sword out of the air. The sword was instantly destroyed, for some odd reason. Probably blew up, or ignited, or shattered. I dunno, use your imagination.
"No! I am without a weapon!" shouted ex-Captain Rex, "Oh, wait! A convieneiently placed lever! I shall pull it and see what happens!" Rex loved to exclaim things, as you can see. Growing up, he was one of those scrawny little fellows, whom nobody liked, mainly because he aspired to be a Captain of the Guard (he lived in the bad part of town. You know, the one next to that one racist woman? By the Eight and One, I hated her. I literally murdered her husband in his sleep, and she was completely fine with that the next day. What a sick freak. Speaking of sick freaks, I'm looking at you, you damn hypothetical puppy. Why would you eat the last piece of bacon? It was mine, damnit, it was mine....).
"By Mannicarmo, don't pull that lever!" cried out the shadowy figure, "otherwise, my true form will be revealed!" Naturally, ex-Captain Rex yanked hard on the erect lever, and also quite naturally, the lever did some wacky magic, and the shadowy figure's true form was revealed.
But whom could it be? Find out... right now. Nah, you'll see later.
Back on the Boat
As ex-Captain Rex was giving the lever a tug, our group of heroes was/were all on the small boat. Broken-Scale and the Mudcrab were using their combined seaman prowess to manouever the boat in subtle, yet helpful, ways; the Mazken was watching her betrothed as he did so; Lady Syl and Lord Thadon were watching the stars like a couple of happy people (they were both "smoking" "cigarettes" "too"); Schmut E. Buncis was thinking about slapping someone else (preferably a female); Carro Tsandwich was mourning the heroic sacrifice/loss of the Master Thief; Tran the Gan was recovering from his newfound love of carnal relations; and the Son was doing something unimportant.
Funny, that: The Son is the hero of the story, and he hasn't said much at all. Ah, well, he'll have his moment. Someday.
A few months later, the group arrived at the shores of Elsweyr, land of the Khajiiti. Naturally, they were all quite sick of one another, and so they went their separate ways, with a promise to return to this exact same landing spot in three hours. Hey, shut up. They weren't that sick of each other, alright. They just needed to get some things done, okay?
So, let us follow Carro Tsandwich, for now. She had taken off towards the nearest town, Blaidainfawel (which stood for "Town of At or Above Average Beauty"), a small settlement established by the Leyawiinical Conjuring of 3EWhatever Date is Ten Years Before Whatever Date This Is Currently. The Leyawiinical Conjuring wasn't the best group; they liked to beat up those more poverty struicken than themselves. Often times, the Elyaconju, as they were shortened to, were the ones causing the poverty in the first place.
"Stop! Criminal Scum!" exclaimed a Guard as Carro entered the town. Naturally, when Carro took off her hood, the guard paused and blinked, then chopped off his tongue for daring to say such a thing. He quickly realized that slighting on as beautiful as her was an ill omen indeed, so he drove his sword through his head as well. As the blood showered about Carro, drenching the streets with the crimson of his failure, the Maiden spotted a small Palace a short distance away. A large gathering of people had amassed outside of its entrance, eagerly awaiting word from the fairest Queen in I don't remember the Stupid Name I gave this Town.
Carro, attracted by the crowd (of potential admirers), stroded purposefully over to the entrance, and stood silently in the back. A few men noticed her, and quickly began to cry tears of joy as their eyes slowly started to smolder, burning directly out of their heads. It was like staring at a thousand suns, to some; to others, it was like eating the last piece of bacon. Yeah, I'm not dropping it, you rotten hypothetical puppy. It was my piece, damn you to hell!
The Queen exited her palace, and gazed upon her crowd of followers. Her beauty was unsurpassed, until Carro showed up; once the Queen spotted her in the crowd (the pile of corpses was enough to do so), she ordered her guards to seize the young Maiden.
"Awright, lass," said the first guard, "you're coming with us! No-one but a Deamon can be as pretty as Queen _____!" Just as the men were about to seize her, another man, this one more well-dressed, jumped out of the onlookers, and drew his blade. "Fear not! 'Tis I, the Ma-
Who could it be? Hint: Think of the only two people I've mentioned with Ma- in their names, then guess on that. Also, I didn't name the Queen because I, quite frankly, don't care.
