And now, for a small intermission (feel free to go to the bathroom or eat a banana. Whichever suits you. If you don't want to go through a few minutes of mindless dribble, then just skip to the bottom where the authors note is):

"You're by yourself, in a dark and dreary room."

"Hey, pass the Cheetos."

"Here,"

"Do you have anymore fizzy pop?"

"Diet or normal?"

"You have diet?"

"For the girls who don't want the fattening aspect of shandy,"

"Okay, someone roll the dice!"

"I want to cast Magic Missle!"

"Why are you going to cast Magic Missle? There's nothing to attack!"

"I'll attack... the darkness!"

"Fine, fine, you attack the darkness,"

"Pass the Cheetos, please."

"I am Glorfiel! SORCERER OF LIGHT!"

"Do I see this happening?"

"No! You're outside, by the tavern!"

"Roll the dice, see if I'm getting drunk."

"Yes, you are!"

"Oh, okay. Are there girls around?"

"No, why?"

"Well, send a girl over to the tavern!"

"To the tavern-- full of drunk old men? That's suicide!"

"No, it's statuatory rape,"

"Pedophilia,"

"We get it,"

"I'm walking out of the room. I'm standing outside with you guys."

"My turn to roll,"

"Ouch, who bit me?"

"Sorry, that was me."

"Yes! A cyclops! MAGIC MISSLE!"

"Kaploosh,"

"Thank you, sound effect person."

"You're welcome, arsehole."

"I'll roll next,"

"Roll, fool!"

"Okay...

"The tension is unbearable."

"Aw! Nothing!"

"Okay, your turn, Marlaina."

"Where're the dice?"

"Here are the dice,"

"What's it say?"

"Says here that I'm hearing a sound,"

"What kind of sound?"

"I dunno, it just says 'a sound',"

"That's specific."

"Shut up-- oops,"

"What happened?"

"I just spilled my pop all over Felan's toy soldiers-- why do you have them lined up like that anyways?"

"Stop acting the maggot, Marlaina."

"No, I really-- okay, fine, I didn't."

"No, wait. I think she did, I can smell the mix of lemonade and dyed plastic."

"SHITE!"

"Wow, you run fast when your toys are in danger, Caolaidhe."

"That must've been at least a hundred miles per hour!"

"I've got to go clean 'em off. Trey, play for me, will ya?"

"No problem,"

"And no cheating! Make sure he doesn't cheat!"

"Okay."

"He's gone, switch his men around."

"No, he remembers these things. Don't do it,"

"Do it!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"I won't do it,"

" Hey, I think I know what the sound is!"

"What is it?"

"A level five Black Dragon is coming towards us."

"A level five Black Dragon? Yeah right, they wouldn't sick a level five Black Dragon on a level three group!"

"I think you just got killed."

"You think?"

"I'm back, everything the same?"

"Yes, Master Felan."

"Don't be smart, Marlaina. Be pretty and dumb, it's much more suiting for a brasser of your caliber."

"Why you little--"

"People, the game?"

"Right,"

"Right,"

"Quick, run into the cave before it kills us too!"

"Wait, what are we running from?"

"Marlaina managed to attract a dragon with her Wild Jungle perfume."

"A level five dragon,"

"She's dead,"

"Brill. Who's turn is it?"

"Chandra's,"

"Okay... now roll."

"It says we've found a cave of treasure--"

"WHOO! Cave of treasure!"

"Hey look, a level skipping Magic Mirror!"

"Quick, grab it!"

"No! It's a trap!"

"A trap? In a cave of treasure? How cliched is that?"

"Just be careful,"

"Okay... I'll poke it with my sword..."

"There goes all of your life points,"

"Does anyone have a life-restoring draught? Quick! Feed it to me while I'm not a zombie!"

"No, you sold it for an Instant Brewer-- which was stolen."

"BLOODY COBBLERS!"

"The cheeky monkey and Richie Rich are out; three to go, including, as I never thought, ginger-boy."

"Did you just call me a cheeky monkey?"

"Did you just call me queer?"

"I said ginger-boy, not queer,"

"Well it means it! Why'd you say that?"

"Well, there was this rumor that this Glass Walker girl told Martha who told Gitany, who told Poppy, who told--"

"Listen, as much as we'd love to hear the whole history of this rumor, can we play?"

"You can't say anything, you're out!"

"And we're stuck in a cave with a giant Black Dragon hovering over our entrance."

"Hey, at least we've still got all of the treasure in the cave!"

"But aren't caves of treasure usually guarded by level nine Green Serpents?"

"Yeah they-- uh oh. I'm dead,"

"Me too."

"Me three."

"WHOO! LAST PERSON STANDING!"

"No... no, you're dead too,"

"Damn it!"

"So, play again?"

"Sure. But this time, I'm the group leader, you led us into Bovine Bars all the time!"

"Hey! There's little to no difference between Bovine Bars and Human Bars! And plus, those bovine girls..."

"Stop chuckling! They're cows!"

"Yes, literally! They are cows!"

"Let's pick randomly. I say we pick me,"

"That was random."

------------

A/N: Just a little interlude to reassure you that the story's still going. The next chapter's just taking an abnormal amount of time getting out, that and I have to keep editing and cutting things out. Deleting the whole chapter and then starting again. It sucks. So, this is the RPG Interlude. The game is played by some of the OCs: Felan, Marlaina, Chandra the Black Fury, Trey, Dee and Bryon. It's just a little reminder that even though they are hunter-gatherer werewolves, they also need other things to entertain themselves with. Such as board games and crossword puzzles; they do live in the modern world you know, it's not all fighting and drinking (though that is a lot of it), sometimes they like to pretend to drink and fight.

Trey was the 'last person standing', Marlaina got bitten by Felan, Felan asked for the Cheetos (which for the purpose of the chapter, exist in England), Chandra asked why they had diet fizzy pop, Trey was the group leader, Trey was also 'ginger-boy' (which translates to 'queer boy')and Marlaina was the first one dead ('cheeky monkey'). Trey was also the one that asked if they could send a girl to the tavern, Dee poked the level skipping mirror, Marlaina heard the sound, Felan wanted to cast Magic Missle a lot (he was Gorfiel, Sorcerer of Light), and Bryon was the 'special effects person'. That's about it, since I wasn't up to doing all of the 'he said' 'she said' 'he yelled' 'she whooped' stuff.

The nineteenth chapter should be out soon folks! Promise! Just as soon as I find my copy of HPSS, because only then will I be able to achieve the proper plagiarizing effect. Bye!

PS: The 'ginger-boy' thing will be partially explained in the next chapter.
