Chapter 2: What do you call your weapon?

"You know…maybe we shouldn't use poor Hoggle as a means for entertainment," Yumiko said calmly so as not to upset Rip Van.

"Oh…but Pokie wants fun to!" Rip quipped before letting out another bullet in the war's general direction.

"Who the heck is Pokie?" Yumiko asked quizzically, worried that one of Rip's demented and horny comrades had followed them in. Rip merely held up her musket, and stroking it lovingly explained, "That is what I call my gun, Pokie," And she quickly turned around an retrieved her clock before adding, "Und this is Gerald!"

Yumiko stared; slightly confused but amused and humoured at her friends' innocence, even I she was a half-crazed nazi vampire. She gazed back around and noticed something afoul.

"Urm Rip…do you know where we are?" She asked with one eyebrow cocked.

Rip looked about before sighing unhappily and stopped firing at Hoggle to shoot one bullet off in front of them, seeing it disappear into one of the walls a couple of feet away.

"Zere we go, an opening! Although I will say a weird way to build walls," She scratched the tip of her head before pointing the musket its full length to the wall or Ludo, "Zat way nice beastie!"

Ludo trudged along, followed by Hoggle, who hid out of sight from Rip encase she began shooting at him again. Yumiko shifted in her seat to look around the walls and noted, "I wonder where Mr. Worm is? Probably inside with the Missus if you catch my drift." She playfully winked and nudged Rip who began to giggle like a hysterical schoolgirl; only to stop to point out Ludo had a confused look on his face. She lent forward and petted the top of his head, saying happily, "Don't worry, you'll understand when you're older."

Yumiko snapped her head back and let Yumie slip for a moment, declaring, "Or not! I am not telling him!"

Before righting herself and using her normal, softer voice, to show that Yumie was asleep. "Anyway, I've been thinking, since I can only use a number of wishes and I can't wish us to the castle just yet," She turned aside and added, that would be no fun, before turning back, "I think I know what our next destination can be and skip past the boring parts.

Rip looked at her nervously, the halo above the nun's head was something she knew not to be fooled by.
