What up peoplezez
New chapter, Same craziness
Enjoy
The sheriff had run out of options by the time he was sitting in front of a trio of water buffaloes. By this point, every plan he had thought up nearly had him in the arms of Minion. Left with no other choice, he hoped that they would at least have some sort of plan that wouldn't involve him getting launched toward the witch.
"Good evening, Temutai." said the fox.
"Mmm… Buona sera… Buona sera." Temutai says as he rubs his head.
"Yes. It was, uh, good of you come at such short notice. And all the way from Qidon." the sheriff said.
"Well, it is quite a walk." Temutai said.
"Yes, but you do realize that prince Taotie expressly commanded this to be a secret meeting!" the sheriff hissed. "I mean, who are these men?"
"These are my trusted associates. On my right, Shang. On my left, Tsung." Temutai said.
These are all close allies to Taotie. Tsung got up from his seat and said, "We thank you for inviting us on the day of your daughter's wedding. I hope her first child is a masculine child."
"SHUT UP! We didn't even have our MEETING YET!" Temutai snapped.
"Oh, yeah," said Tsung.
"Oh, yeah," said Temutai. "All right, I understand that you've been bothered by this fruit, Colin Hood. That you want Colin rubbed out, eliminated, maybe even killed."
"Yes. You put it succinctly." said the sheriff.
"Suck WHAT?" Temutai asked not fully understanding.
"Succinctly. It means perfectly." the sheriff explained.
"Oh, yeah, well I knew that." Temutai says as he picks up some peanuts and crushes them.
"Excuse me, Temutai. Your lizard seems limp." the sheriff said noticing the lizard in Temutai's arm.
"At my age, you know, sometimes- Oh, oh, my lizard," Temutai said. "Oh! No. Nah, he's just sleeping. Chow. Chow. Oh, Chow. Chow… I could've been somebody. I could've been a contender. You know, Chow's- Chow's got bad breath."
Then the lizard made a mess on him. "Oh! He got excited, you know. Come over here, Shang." Temutai said as he rubbed the mess on Shang.
The sheriff rubbed his temples in annoyance. The meeting was going far away from what he was intending it to be. The three water buffalo were to easily distracted by what they were doing and therefore were being entirely uncooperative with his problem.
"Now, normally I would be happy to be of service to you, but there is something that weighs very heavily on my heart," Temutai explained. "In the years that we have been friends with you and Taotie, never once have you invited me to your home for coffee and cake or ganool, something, you know".
"A 'guh-what'?" asked the sheriff.
"A ganool. It's a pastry with stuffing. And it's got sprinkles on it. Mmm." Temutai explains.
But it's now hard to understand him. The sheriff, however was less than willing to speak up about this because he had been the victim of one of Temutai's temper tantrums in the past. After a few moments of mulling it over, he decided to just straight up say it
"Excuse me. I don't understand a word you're saying." the sheriff said honestly.
"Well, I just came back from the dentist, and they left in the cotton balls." Temutai said.
After saying this, Temutai immediately took two damp cotton balls out from inside his mouth. Not wanting to waste time looking for a trash can, he handed them over to Tsung.
"I will take these cotton balls from you with my paw and put them in my pocket," said Tsung.
"Yeah, whatever." Temutai said ignoring what he just said.
"You know, your other associate says very little." the sheriff said referring to Shang.
"Well, my other associate says nothing," said Temutai.
"Why is that?" the sheriff wondered.
"Because my enemy cut out his tongue," Temutai explained.
"Good grief! Why?" the sheriff asked.
"Well, 'cause he went like this." Then he blubbered really loudly. "And my enemy didn't like it, so he cut out his tongue. Come over here. Go like this." Temutai says to Shang as he clicked his own tongue. Then he laughed. "You SEE? He can't do it. I love to TEASE him!" Temutai said as he continued to laugh.
"Tell me, Temutai," the sheriff said.
"Yeah, that's me, what?" said the water buffalo.
"What do you intend to do about Colin?" the fox asked.
"Listen to this; I've got an idea," Temutai said. "Tomorrow- Tomorrow you're gonna have your Gongmen fun and games. You'll make the most important event the blade throwing contest. Colin will not be able to resist".
"Why is that?" the sheriff wondered.
"We'll make him an offer he can't refuse," said Tsung.
"I was just about to SAY THAT!" Temutai said as he threw peanuts at Tsung.
"That's brilliant!" The fox exclaimed.
"Thank you." said the water buffalo.
"But-" the sheriff said.
"WHAT?" asked Temutai.
"You do realize that Colin is the finest blade thrower in all the land?" the sheriff said.
"Oh, no," Temutai said. "Don't you understand? Tsung here is good, better, best. Show him your blade throwing medals".
Tsung got up and opened the robe he was wearing. The moment he did that, a lot of medals became easily noticed.
"Tah-dah!" said Temutai.
"Wowee!" the sheriff said, really impressed.
"See? I couldn't have said it better myself," Temutai said. "Now Tsung beats Colin at the Blade throwing contest, and then Shang makes Colin no more."
Shang got up and began opening up his crossbow. The minute he finished, he snarled and yanked the bow back to prove his point. However, the sheriff wasn't entirely convinced.
"No more?" asked the sheriff.
"All right, you want plain English? Colin is gonna be dead. D-E-D... Dead." said Temutai as he toasted the sheriff.
Then all four of the animals laughed as they had a good feeling that their plan was gonna work. Unbeknownst to them, Lorelei pretty much heard every last detail of their plan thanks in no small part to all the shouting Temutai did. She gasped and bolted back inside to wake up Soothsayer. Once inside, she clapped on the lights and went over to the bed where her friend was sleeping.
"Soothsayer? Soothsayer, wake up! There's a foul plot afoot." Lorelei told her as Soothsayer woke up.
"It's not my feet. I just washed them," Soothsayer pointed out.
"No, no, no. Prince Taotie and the sheriff have hired men to kill Colin. We must warn him immediately!" Lorelei said as she ran towards the window but Soothsayer stopped her.
"Wait, Lorelei! If prince Taotie should see us-" Soothsayer warned her.
"You're right. We'll go out the back." Lorelei said.
"Right," Soothsayer agreed.
Lorelei then went out to another window and looked out over the terrace. Sure enough, there were no guards in sight and the stable was conveniently right there.
"Lady," Lorelei called out.
Moments later, a white stallion with a saddle and reins that matched her usual attire trotted under the balcony. Gingerly, Lorelei stepped over the guard rail and positioned herself above the saddle. Under normal circumstances she would have just flown over to where the Valley of Peace was, but that would have drawn attention to herself. Besides, her parents had always said that she shouldn't have to fly to places that were close by.
With a little jerk, Lorelei slid off the guard rail and right on top of the saddle. It took her a few seconds to straighten herself out, and when she did, she got herself in a more comfortable position.
"Soothsayer, I'm going on ahead," Lorelei said. "Catch me up. Quickly Lady."
Lady quickly galloped forward toward the back gate. Once Lorelei and the horse were out of sight, Soothsayer felt safe to have her turn at getting off the balcony.
"Farfelkugal," she called out.
A brown bronco with various bags of junk attached to it trotted forward and positioned itself under the balcony. Smirking, Soothsayer pulled herself on top of the guard rail to jump down, despite the horse neighing the equivalent of 'she's got to be kidding'. Then, when the Soothsayer did jump down, the horse moved to the left, making her slam into the ground with a thud.
"Oof," Soothsayer grunted.
It took her a few moments to dust herself off from the fall. When she finally did, she grabbed the horse's reigns and pulled its head toward her.
"Farfelkugal, if I were you, I would never do that again," she said. "Any questions?"
A snort from the horse was all the answer she needed.
"Good," she said as she got on. "Forward-oof!"
After getting smacked in the face by the back of the horses head, she followed her friend to the outskirts of the Valley of Peace, where Colin was.
