Turn 22 AM, Tuesday, May 3rdStart walking in a random direction.
Horatio heads off towards the nearest house, knocking on the door and using all of his charm to convince the occupants to allow he and his fellows to stay the night.
After a moment, he walked up to the nearest tree and shook it to see if any sort of fruit would fall out.
And Mathew started walking around the town looking for a shop selling plants.
In just two hours past midnight, the rain was clear.
Brian stretched a few times before taking a quick glance around. There were a lot of trees, as far as he could tell. He couldn't make out the details of anything on the ground. Buildings were sparse - but then, perhaps he just hadn't run into one yet.
"Eh, I'm just going to walk around. Nothing better to do at this time of night, maybe I'll run into someone," said the aforementioned Brian. He then proceeded to do exactly as he said. He walked around a few minutes before realizing how foolish strutting around in the dark was. But, as was bound to happen eventually, he did
bump into something interesting. It definitely wasn't a person, because it felt less like skin and more like a cold, unforgiving mistress of a wall. He had walked into a house! There were no lights on inside, and there was no sign of residence. Hmm...
Nearby,
Horatio practiced saying "wot wot" a few times to his two remaining acquaintances. But then, upon witnessing his not-friends walk off in random directions around him, he was aghast! What, precisely, were they doing rummaging around in trees at this time of night?
Horatio waved his hand, attempting to be snooty. "Surely you two can't be serious? Wandering about, looking for trees and fruit in the middle of the night! We must be finding ourselves a place to stay 'til morning, it's dark out here. And indeed, it could rain again!" He then wandered off in the direction of the nearest house he could see. When he arrived, he discovered
it was quite a large house. There were lights on inside!
Richard made a disconcerted face. It seemed illogical that the Town Hall would be open 'til midnight! He looked around, but couldn't see much of anything. It was pretty dark, and the town was oddly low on illuminating street lights.
"I don't think the Town Hall will be open until morning. I'm going to go look for something to eat." Richard then headed off in the general direction of what he presumed, from a distance, to be a tree. Fortunately, he was right, and it was not some terrible tree-like villager or anything. Looking back to see if he could still see the silhouettes of his friends (he couldn't), he gave the tree a a good shake. Something fell out, and...
No.Oh bestial diety NO.Like the speediest servants of the devil that had ever lived an unfulfilling, hate-filled existence,
BEES swarmed out of the downed beehive. Richard tried to resist, but they were too fast and too many. His screams of pain were drowned out by their screams of
war. Had he listened closely, he might have believed he heard individual bees sounding commands.
"Fire the beellistas." "Release the wasps." "Protect the queen." If there was a bee-based pun for agony, nightmare and anguish, it would be used to described poor Richard's pain.
After what seemed like the longest twelve point five seconds of Richard's life, the bees were all gone or dead. He would have cried, but men in cheap black suits don't cry except at the end of their date. He lied on the ground for a little while until he heard a sound. It sounded like a girl's voice - friendly, with a hint of taunting. The voice helped him to his feet. He could only see through one eye, but he made out... a white chipmunk-type person thing?
"Are you done being in pain yet?" The white chipmunk-type person thing probably could have waited until she introduced herself before being snarky. She tilted her head to the side before she continued. "My name's Becky. What's yours?"
Mathew was excited to finally be at his destination. He could do whatever he wanted! And what he wanted to do was
buy plants. He trotted along to the nearest building he saw, hoping it would be a plant shop.
Unfortunately, that did not seem that be the case. Instead, he found a very wide building that appeared to be some sort of manor. Just
what was inside?
