The Immortals

THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS

Don't own characters, don't make money. Don't Sue!

A seaman has been found dead, a man… made entirely from water has been found dead and the team are trying to find out why. I've never actually seen the sea before, and Gothy isn't really a water kind of girl, she likes the Caff-Pow's, but even then I'm not sure what those look like either, they come in a container though, so they must try to escape or something, so she uses a stick to drink it up.

The seaman was took down to gore-topsy for The Quack to look at, I never get to see what any of the humans or sea people look like, but the ever-dense that is on them is brought up to the Lab for Gothy to puzzle over. There are lots of different kinds of ever-dense's but this seaman brings with him something I have never seen before. It's shiny like most things but it's slightly different.

Gothy is standing looking at a mechanical and I can see Boss Man and others looking back at her. I have no idea how it's done. Maybe they shrink and are swallowed up by a mechanical…

…Gothy says they found a Saint Christopher medal on the seaman and she also takes a closer look at a piece of pay-pa! Apparently it's some sort of a character charter for a MMORPG game or something, whatever it is looks faded and I can hardly make it out. I shake my head in wonder as i actually somehow know what an MMORPG is... The Boss Man has no idea though and asks her what she's talking about. I think I hear Italian Man and Cake trying to explain it to him.

Gothy is telling him that it's basically a list of the carrot-tore's creed and mortal stance?!? I have NO clue about those! But apparently there are usually more than 1000 players on one site alone at any given time on some of the more popular ones. Italian Man mentions computer geeks and I laugh a little as I've not heard that term before, I start whispering 'geek' many times in my head, over and over...

The Boss Man is asking Gothy if these games are violent and Gothy mentions something about poison and stabbing, so I'm not sure if that's good or bad. I've never heard those words I don't think… and Gothy doesn't make them sound bad. I hear Cake's voice from one of the mechanicals and she's talking about ever-dense in sigh-ber space?

They start talking a little too quickly for me then and eventually when my brain does catch up Gothy is talking about a sore that the man made from water was carrying. It had nicks in it so the man must have been fighting with it.

I see Gothy is playing with one of the mechanicals and I can just see its face. I learnt recently that the square that shows colours and emotions are called faces. I think it most be one of those…Em-m or ah-pea-gee games they were talking about, for some reason i can't recall clearly what they are called, all I see is a purple thing carrying a stick. Gothy is looking really intensely at it and I'm pretty sure it has her complete attention.

Every now and then she sucks in a breath but most of the time it's been quiet… until now. She's starting to get a little more involved in it. I turn when I hear the doors swish open and I see The Quack has come down to see us. Gothy, turns and says a quick hello to him but when she turns back she lets out a "damn". I think she must have failed or something… She starts to talk to the Quack about slaying two gnomes and an ogre's…?

I shake my head, sometimes these words can give me a bit of a headache and when I turn back The Quack has started to say that the game reminds him or something. He stops after that and I watch as his face is turned up and he's searching for something inside his head. I can tell this because his eyes are turned upwards as if he's physically looking but of cause I know this can't be the actual case. Or can it. Now I'm really confused because I have heard others talking about how The Quack has a special ability… anyway he eventually looks back at Gothy and tells her that he actually can't think of anything that it reminds him of.

They both laugh at this and The Quack appears to be leaving…

Gothy is again at the mechanical's face... and again I hear the door swish and The Quack is coming to visit us. He carry's with him a Caff-Pow and puts it down in front of Gothy. I know for a fact that Gothy loves gifts so I let out a funny noise as a thank you but I don't think he hears it. I must be too far away from them.

Gothy is telling him that she needs to get to the 'keep' as when she gets there, she'll then be able to say if the man of water was playing this game. I see The Quack smile and he pushes the Caff-Pow closer to her, telling her it might help, then he pats her gently on the shoulder like a loving uncle and leaves... I miss him already.

After what seems like ages, Gothy is on the mechanical that makes voices travel further… she's talking to the Boss Man and is telling him that the water man played on 'The Immortals'. She then mentions that the character that he was fighting the most in the game was traced back, and he actually also logs on from the ship. I think a ship is like one of those floating wooden cups but only bigger.

Anyway Gothy seems really happy about this and I watch her hands play with the mechanicals curling tail, it's springy. I laugh to myself.

Gothy seems very busy today, her Lab is abuzz with a loud heartbeat; she's looking at the mechanical's face that is showing the seaman's 'bog?' 'Log?' I didn't really listen to closely but I see her roll her eyes and sigh, I think it's going to take her a while to look through it all…

…A mechanical eventually beeps and I see Gothy reaching for the communication voice thing again. She is ringing the Boss but I hear Cake answer instead. Gothy doesn't seem to care, she likes Cake like I do, she tells her she found a die-airy but that it's going to take ages to get through.

My eyes widen, I don't think I could stand spending all ages looking at the same thing, but luckily Cake offers to do it for her. Phew! That was a close one! I can tell Gothy thinks so too as she does a celebratory swing on her chair, I bob my head and to my surprise it actually moves.

Rock on!

I watch as Gothy rings The Quack and tells him she matched the soil from under the nails of the seaman to the floor of the o'shun. I think this is good news but The Quack just nods once and tells her he'll pass it on to Boss Man.

The case has been solved and I think the team are making there way back to the building but The Quack is sitting with Gothy and he tells her that he's still confused. Gothy asks him where he got lost in the whole thing, but he tells her basically from the beginning. I hear McDonald and Zouger mentioned, and then other names that I can't pronounce way-lin? Kill-far-us?

Now it's me who's confused, I think Gothy said that they used to fight on sigh-ber space then started fighting in real life. She tells The Quack that McDonald won; Zouger got angry and went back to beating McDonald on sigh-ber space in The Immortals. Gothy then says that things changed, Zouger realised that McDonald was 'not all there', invisible, and challenges him to prove he was immortal by putting weights around his waist, jumping ship and walking across the bottom of the bay to dry land.

Crazy!

Gothy and The Quack both seem to agree with me on that, and they both leave the Lab, Gothy turning everything off as she goes.

I suddenly realise that I actually followed most of what was said. I followed what happened, although still thought that one or both of the water people were crazy.

Bobbing my head to celebrate this new discovery I smile to myself… I think maybe I might be acting a little crazy bobbing my head a little too much but I push those thoughts aside… then wish I hadn't.

I fall off the shelf… ow!

So another chapter up in the same night, enjoy X
