A/N yeah I'm alone at the moment listening to heavy metal, in the dark,
jesus, I'm a freak, *runs to turn light on just for at least some sake of
normalcy, then goes back and turns them off because she doesn't like light*
when Julie gets home she's going to call me either an idiot, a skid, or
disgusting, or maybe, if I'm lucky, all of the above! *sarcastic squeal of
delight* Anyways, I don't exactly have a clear thought about where I'm
going with this so, it might end up either really long or really weird,
perhaps even both, yeah, probably both, prepare yourselves for a novel
people. Okay, I've stopped, then began again on this chapter so it's gonna
be a little weird, I just drank about half a litre of mellow yellow so I'm
kind of, you know YSRGHEAGHOEA!!!
"Where are we GOING!!" Reaper asked the king because of the boredom she was suffering.
The king gave her a look then said, "We're to meet Lady Alanna, Neal, Raoul, Daine, Numair, George, Myles, Lady Keladry, and Duke Baird for a meeting, we think you should be there, actually they have no idea you're coming, they don't even know what this meeting is about, other than that I said it's important." Raen Lee went slightly red when Neal's name was mentioned because of her last encounter with him.
"Great, we get to see sexist bastard again," Kao mumbled when Raoul's name had been mentioned, no one paid any attention to her and looked at the king in expectance.
"Well, what about Thayet?" Chopstix asked curiously.
"I don't want to disturb my wife on such matters." Jonathon replied smoothly.
"I see, so why are we going to this meeting?" Eve asked trying to make her horse not try to eat the bushes on the side of the path.
"Well, it's about you girls." He replied, the girls almost fell off their horses and each were probably thinking about the same thing, 'Does he know that we're not from Tortall?'
"Have...you..ever..had....the...feeling....there...are...a......million....p eople..in...your head...and...they're...all talking! AT! ONCE!!" Kao said hitting herself on the head with her palm a pained expression on her face.
The king looked at Kao for a second as she hit herself on the head until Katey came over and tied Kao's hands behind her back. Kao looked around with her eyes glazed over confusedly.
"Anyways, as you were saying King Jonathon," Raen Lee asked curiously.
"Um, well, you girls seem to have a heightened knowledge higher than we've ever seen, or even heard of, so we figured that perhaps we could-"
"Begin a nuclear war?" Kao snapped her hands still tied behind her.
"What war?" the king asked confusedly.
Storms glared and Kao then said, "Nuclear war, it's..unpleasant, but what I think Kao means is are you asking us for weapons?"
"No, I was just curious of how advanced you are in knowledge,"
"You mean technology?" Eve asked looking at the Discman that she seemed to have been able to smuggle into Tortall successfully.
"Technology?"
"Yeah, here, this is an example of our technology," Eve made to put the headphones over the king's head when he jerked away eyeing her suspiciously, "Hey, look, if we wanted you dead, we'd've done it a lot more discreetly," Eve said putting the headphones over his head. She grinned, and then turned the cd on, too bad the volume was up all the way and that the song started halfway through, "LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!!!!" the king cried out and threw the headphones off, much to the girls' amusement, they all started laughing and Kao fell off her horse since she had nothing to hang onto, she put her legs through her arms and bit the rope off, jumping back on her horse, she started to cackle insanely.
"Hey Eve, do you have anything lighter, I don't think his Highness can handle heavy metal." Taigan commented still laughing. The king looked at her with a mixture of awe considering these 11 girls had the nerve to laugh at him, their king, and annoyance, his face turned slightly red from embarrassment.
"Yeah, I think I may have something that suit you're tastes, here, you'll like this more, I guarantee," Eve said putting the headphones back on Jonathon's head then turning it on, Moonlight Sonata on the piano played softly through the headphones. Jonathon relaxed noticeably and asked, "What wonder is this?"
"It's called Moonlight Sonata, it's by Beethoven, and that is only little compared to some other things we have," Eve replied thinking about airplanes and flying off to a Caribbean wonderland, looking dubiously around at the cold dank forest around them.
"Now, fifty bucks says that Jonnyboy is thinking about weaponry," Kao snapped again, just as Jonathon was about to ask about it. Jonathon closed his mouth and stared back at Kao's angry and unblinking glare, she reluctantly looked away and thought rebelliously about war. (A/N I hate guns, it's cheating, takes away an actual accomplishment, it's just, bang, you're dead and all I had to do was pull a little button, cowards, when you get in a fight do you really think that you'll have a gun with you 24.7? didn't think so. Back to the story.)
"So I take it that weaponry isn't to be talked about?"
"Damn straight," Chopstix snapped disgusted that Jonathon would even think that they would give away technology in weapons.
"It would utterly ruin Tortall as it is known, if technology were to be introduced, then utter chaotic destruction would break out." Dyana said grimly.
"What about your world?"
"There's not too far from chaotic destruction is for sure," Taigan mumbled.
"Stupid people, they'd fight over the last gingerbread cookie, even if they don't like gingerbread!!" Keita yelled.
"Sounds...nice," the king commented.
"Shut it baldy," Brekke threatened.
"BALDY?!?!?!" the king yelled his hands whipping up to his head searching for a bald spot then groaning in horror when he found it. The girls started laughing at him again as he looked close enough to weeping over his newly found bald spot.
One by one the girls noticed that the king had said "world" they looked at him and nominated Cami to do the talking, "Jonathon, since you know that we're not from this world, you can't tell anyone because then we'd be thought of as a weapon, a tool of war and well, um, let me say, 'no' to that one. Thank you very much. We don't freakin' want armies common after us, freakin' World War.." She was about to say World War III, but well, yeeeeeeah.
"I understand, if you wish for it to be a secret then you have my word," the Jonathon said understandingly.
"And you have our word that we won't tell anyone of your bald spot," Taigan said with a mocking grin, the girls covered smiles as the king turned red. They continued to ride for about half an hour all having heard a library of songs, one being, "Just to Be the Next to Be With You", from Kao because she loves that song, a lot, she sings it everyday....
"So, I forget, who's all going to be at this little meeting?" Brekke asked with a raised eyebrow trying to gain control of her horse again.
"Well, there will be about 20 knights with their squires and you, Lady Alanna, Lady Keladry, Sir Myles, Sir Nealan, Sir Roaul, Numair, Daine, Lord Wyldon-" the king was rudely interrupted by Chopstix.
"He's still living? Man, he must be OLD!" Chopstix commented.
"Hm, yes, well, he is still living, now if I may continue," he paused for a moment and looked around at the girls to see that he had their attention, Kao was now singing "I Would Walk 500 Miles" happily not paying attention, he sighed and continued, "George, Owen, Cleon-"
"HUMDALIM!!" Kao yelled suddenly.
"What the hell? KAO!! KEEP THE NOISES TO YOURSELF DAMNIT!!" Cami yelled.
"KIRKUS NADWACK!!" Kao cursed again as she fell off her horse (A/N I'm sorry, it was something that my friend thought I said while I was cursing). Suddenly a man with bright yellow skin of about 3 feet in tight electric blue spandex shorts and a five sizes too small pink shirt, a big goofy orange and purple hat that had spikes of bright red hair peeping out and green and magenta striped leggings jumped out his arms spread in a way as though he were introducing someone important. "What the hell?" Kao asked jumping up off the ground brushing herself off, staring the little man, "Dude, I think the mental institution is thatta way," Kao pointed to the opposite direction.
"I refuse to be insulted by someone who said my name loud and clear, straight to reach my jolly ears!!" Kirkus Nadwack yelled in a strangely high-pitched, singsong voice trying to cross his arms but failing because his shirt was too small.
"Oh man, don't tell me that everything you say is in rhymes!!" Kao yelled her face contorting in disgust.
"Why, why, why, I think the lassie needs lessons on civility, as well as viability!" Kirkus Nadwack yelled then screeched and ran away as Kao went red with anger and started chasing him.
"What'd he say?" Dyana asked curiously at the little man's choice of words.
"It means that she need lessons on how to be practical and useful," The king said with a slight grin. Dyana grinned slightly because the joke wasn't all that funny.
"You stupid son of a *BLEEP!* I'll *BLEEP!*ing rip you're *BLEEP!*ing head off you're *BLEEP!*ing shoulders!! GET YOUR *BLEEP!* OVER HERE!! You're only making it worse!!!" Kao yelled chasing the little man back and forth falling every once and a while over a tree stump or rock.
Kirkus Nadwack made his way to hide behind Raen Lee making Kao body check Raen Lee in her mad dash to capture the little ruffian. "LEMMIE AT 'EM!!" Kao yelled.
"NO!! PLEASE DON'T!! Kirkus Nadwack was only kidding and doesn't want to be smote!" Kirkus Nadwack squealed, peeking fearfully over Raen Lee whose leg he was clinging to for dear life. Kao went red at the rhyme again and almost tried to body check Raen Lee again.
"Hey it's okay little buddy," Raen Lee coaxed her heart softening at the sight of the little man's fearful gaze. "Kao, back off, he said he was sorry," Raen Lee scolded.
"Jes, he'd turning you into a baby Raen, stupid gnomes." Kao drifted off into a grumble about how gnomes suck ass slowly walking away kicking an occasional stone angrily glaring at Kirkus Nadwack.
"So, your name is Kirkus Nadwack correct? But what are you?" Reaper asked inspecting Kirkus Nadwack curiously.
"A gnome I am, Out and about searching for a long lost gem!" Kirkus Nadwack yelled excitedly his shirt ripping slightly, "Oh, this just won't do! Now I must make it anew!" he yelled pointing to at the rip, maroon and bright orange blasting from his fingertips, the rip went back together and Kirkus Nadwack started dancing again.
Kao's eye twitched, and she stole Eve's Discman so she wouldn't have to hear Kirkus Nadwack's incessant rhyming. The others thought it was kinda cute but Kao looked ready to kill the little guy, Storms avoided him as much as she could and looked close enough to whacking him upside on the back of the head.
"The stars shine oh so bright, On this clear, blue night! Not a cloud in sight, On this lovers' night!" Kirkus Nadwack sang easily, too bad his rhymes were crap.
"Someone shut that idiot up!" Kao yelled through clenched teeth, "ITS ONLY SUNSET!!!"
"How much longer do we have to listen to this?!?!!" Dyana burst angrily at an annoyed and somewhat disheveled king, who was holding his head.
"I don't know!! ALRIGHT!?!?! I HAVE NO IDEA!! AND WILL SOMEONE PLEASE COVER THAT F*KCING IDIOT'S MOUTH BEFORE I REMOVED HIS GODS DAMNED TONGUE!!!" The king yelled staring venomously at Kirkus Nadwack who was staring at the king innocently, only making him madder, his face got so red that it looked like a tomato but no one noticed because they were all so angry with Kirkus Nadwack's horrible rhyming.
"Oh me, oh my! You've quite the temper to reach the sky!!" Kirkus yelled.
Kao let out a battle cry and threw a knife at him blindly, barely missing the little man's head. She started raving like a lunatic causing her horse to start fidgeting. Kirkus Nadwack gave out a little "meep!" and ran for his life from the angry, red-faced, company.
"ABOUT BLOODY WELL TIME!!!!!" Reaper yelled after the gnome.
Eve's eye was twitching and she was clenching her reins so tightly that her knuckles were going white. Katey was grinding her teeth irritatibly and tried to keep her temper down.
"I swear, if he stayed longer, I would have twisted his *CENSORD* head!!!" Keita screamed.
Cami seemed to be eyeing the king's sword hungrily, thinking about cutting Kirkus Nadwack into pieces.
"HEY JONATHON!! ABOUT TIME YOU SNAIL!!!" Alanna yelled to him from a large clearing surrounded with various people both familiar and unfamiliar to the girls.
"What in the name of the gods." a man with strange captivating blue eyes and bright yellow hair asked when he saw the company of girls.
Kao snarled at the man, causing him to laugh, Katey had to hold Kao down so she wouldn't go attack the large man. "Get 'em later," she coaxed then telling the other man, "Sleep with one eye open tonight, in fact, don't sleep, any night as long as you're in the same camp with /her/."
"Why did you bring them?" Raoul asked glancing nervously at Kao who was spending her time near a tree sharpening her knife some more.
"The meeting is about them, I think they can help us." Jonathon replied.
A/N SORRY PEOPLE!!! I haven't updated in forever because my stupid schoolwork, I didn't go anywhere for two weeks, so don't feel bad that all I got to do was fun things instead of having no time for writing, it took me every spare second I had to write this much! And now that it's Christmas break you can expect me to make up for my lack of writing for that past!!!!
"Where are we GOING!!" Reaper asked the king because of the boredom she was suffering.
The king gave her a look then said, "We're to meet Lady Alanna, Neal, Raoul, Daine, Numair, George, Myles, Lady Keladry, and Duke Baird for a meeting, we think you should be there, actually they have no idea you're coming, they don't even know what this meeting is about, other than that I said it's important." Raen Lee went slightly red when Neal's name was mentioned because of her last encounter with him.
"Great, we get to see sexist bastard again," Kao mumbled when Raoul's name had been mentioned, no one paid any attention to her and looked at the king in expectance.
"Well, what about Thayet?" Chopstix asked curiously.
