The Perils of Overconfidence
Feb. 12th, 2008 12:17 amI will stop giggling. Soon. Very very soon. I promise.
...But damn those two are funny!
The cast:
Sir Gregory ap Eiluned: Unseelie Sidhe, knight errant who recently swore fealty to the Court of the Bard, and has, among other Flaws, Overconfidence. Arrogant, haughty, stuck-up sonofabitch, basically.
Lucien Chime: Eshu, dashing swashbuckler sort, very big on freedom for all things, loves animals - chimera in particular - and can't resist twitting arrogant nobles. Also possesses, on top of Eshu-born recklessness, both the Overconfidence Flaw and the Curiosity Flaw.
So they clambered into the back of a horse trailer headed who-knows-where. And wound up in the vehicle bay of some clapped out warehouse-ish building (which I realise came straight out of last week's episode of Torchwood, now that I think about it...) with no idea exactly where they were or what they were expecting to find there. Because it's not as if Sir Gregory informed Lucien about the carnival-in-preparation, oh no. They were far too busy snarking at each other on the ride in.
Of course, then they split up. Sir Gregory indulged in a bit of kleptomania, nabbing an awful lot of documentation and a laptop. Lucien, for his part, found the hostage chimera, and happened to notice a very beautiful Sidhe lady walk past, but disregarded her and went straight for the animals. He couldn't open the cage doors despite them not being locked or latched, and they both ended up in the vehicle bay to discover a nicely penned note, basically going, "We insist that you partake of our humble hospitality". Also discovered that the room with the chimera in was ... well, either suddenly empty or the door just led somewhere else; they never worked that one out.
Then they discovered that the doors were sealed with Weaver Ward. From Thursday night through Saturday night. Note to the players: next time, try talking to the people. Trying cage doors can wait five minutes. I gave them every chance, honest!
I will stop giggling over this. If I can just get Lucien's phone message to his fraternal twin Lucy-Anne (Nocker, and just as brilliant as the Eshu) out of my head for five minutes...
"Also, I would appreciate it if you brought cake."
*debilitating gigglefit*
