Session Start: Thu Oct 04 21:29:28 2001 * Logging #whosim to 'wood2_20011004.txt' I'll brb just a sec Hey guys, do you remember what color the rings were? <> <> ((brb got to change the cat liter)) will roll the credits in just a sec *** Jacie is now known as DWHermit <<>> <> <<>> @ = Woods Between Worlds # = dino planet *** AlxKeegan is now known as DWEos @ ::watching the pool where the Doctor once stood:: Oh dear. Why do they never listen? @ Where did he go? <> #::Suddenly the Doctor realizes that he is being outflanked by advancing dinosaurs. He hates it when that happens.::: @Because Maker likes to play more. @ Into another place, my dear. @ But... ::scans tea table:: Oh my, that's not good. Not good at all. # Well, I hope they are more interested in each other. @ How will he get back? @ I'm afraid he can't. ::picks up the napkin with a yellow ring around it:: @ Does he need our help? @ Not without this, at least. @ ::remembering:: He took one of the green rings. # :: The Doctor sees a large boulder and makes a run for it, trying to cross the path of one dino after it passes and the other well before it gets there.:: @ Your impetutuous friend could have at least stayed long enough to hear my instructions. # In high drama, as in comedy, it is all a mattere of timing :::breathlessly as he runs::: @ The Doctor did seem a bit frustrated. @ But then I guess he was too determined to prove me an old fool. @Maker loves to improvise. #Triceratops> :: Smells the stench of death around the approaching t-rex and instantrly goes to alert, increases its pace.::: @ I guess we'll just have to go after him and take him a ring, won't we, Irish? @ ::to the cat:: Well, I'm afraid your "Maker" has created a mess for himself. # TRex> :::Senses the triceratops nearby and begins slavering from the mouth, picks up speed, focuses on the new target, a huge mountain of delicious meat.::: @ ::reaches into the basket of napkins:: I presume your friend is used to relying on you to rescue him. @ ::takes out three napkins:: Well, then I suppose you will need these. @ ::smiles at Irish:: Would you agree with that? @ :::looks at the different colored rings and thinks:::: @Rescue ? Can I take a nap first ? After all its not like he is being chased by a giant hungry danosiur.. @ I think you'll have to wait to nap till after we get back. # :: The Doctor reaches the boulder only to find the triceratops right behind him, it takes up a position in front of the boulder. The Doctor squeezes into a crevice and prepares to watch.:: @ ::is careful to hold the napkins by the end:: Now be careful with these, young lady. The green ring for your journey. The yellow to return. ::hands the 3rd napkin:: And a spare for your friend's return. @ Green is for going out and yellow for coming back here to the Woods, right? @ Yes, that's it. Just take care not to touch the wrong ring at the wrong time. @ Once you have returned from a journey, there is no guarantee you will be able to make the same journey. @ :::holds onto one of the green rings and puts the other rings in the pockets of her jumpsuit::: @::Irish springs to his paws and jumps up on Eos:: @ Will Irish need a ring? #Triceratops> :::Takes up a defensive position in front of the huge boulder, turns so that it's huge plated head will always bwe towards the enemy. The great creature is alert but feels no fear. ::: <> @ ::reaches out to pet the cat:: No, I believe not. @ You and Irish share the same *essence* so to speak. #TRex>:: Enters the clearing in front of the huge boulder and sees the triceratops positioned in front of him, facing him straight on, with huge sharp horns to impale should be rush to attack.::: @ As long as you are in physical contact, you will be able to use the magic of the same ring. @ That's good then. Ready Irish? @ Good fortune, or whatever it is you young people say. @I suppose if I must.. @ ::retakes his seat at the tea table and picks up his cup:: I'll be here when you return. @ I'll probably need your help, don't want to go by myself. @I do wish that Maker would manage to stay out of trouble long enough for me to catch up on my nap.. @ ::takes a sip:: Or I think I will. One never knows for certain. <> #TTops>> :::Hunkers down, shakes its huge head, digs in with its feet to maintain leverage. The creature is ready to fight to live or fight and die.::: @ ::walks over to the pool the Doctor leaped into::: @ Here we go! @ ::slips the green ring on her finger as she leaps into the pool, Irish digging his claws into the padded shoulder of her jumpsuit:: #TRex> :::Sees the triceratops hunker down, sees its strength, and stops for just a moment. But, the smell of meat ends all caution, and the creature prepares to kill because that is what it does to live.::: @::Irish hunkers down at the sight of water:: @ ::::there is a brief sensation of moving swiftly thru a watery tunnel, yet no sensation of wetness::: <> @ ::watches his guest disappear:: They're charming. Or at least, they *were*. ::shakes head and sighs:: Why do they never listen? <> # ::::Eos and Irish appear at the edge of a sunlit clearing, completely dry::: #::Irish sniffs the air tilting his head in various directions:: #TRex> ::Lifts its head and screams its call, then charges the huge armored saurian, put jumps up just in front of its horns, and lands on the back of the triceratop armored head.::: # :::looks around, sees no sign of the Doctor at first::: # Maker went that way. ::Irish points with a paw in a certain direction:: <> # ::looks off in the direction Irish points:::: # ::the ground quakes with the might of the fighting dinosaurs:: # Look Irish, dinosaurs!! #TTops> :::Lets out a huge bestial squeal as the trex pouncres on it, but immediately lifts back up with its huge legs, and then whips its grear horned head around vicionsly::: # ::saliva and blood spew outward:: # Oh Gross!! # :: The Doctor is glad to be away from this show of primordial power::: # Where's the Doctor? # Giant lizards.. Oh I am hungry now .. ::licks lips:: # Hes between the two big lizards .. # Uh-oh...we need to get past them somehow... # ::stomping feet crash the ground yards away from Eos and Irish:: # I suppose you want me to think of some brilliant plan now .. # Could you do that? # :::smiles brilliantly at Irish::: # ::Irish stretchs before jumping down to the ground :: # ::the battling beasts pound the air with their primordial screams:: #Well This world is rich in energy so I suppose I can .. <> # ::Irish reaches out tapping into the primal energy of this planet:: <:-)> #::Irish starts to glow bright green as he cat grins in glee:: # :::watches as Irish changes shape::: <> # ::TRex chomps into TTop's back:: # ::Irish swells in size becoming larger and more powerful as his fangs grow and his paws become large instuments of razer edged desctruction:: # ///you're going to distract them while I get to the Doctor, right?/// # ::TTop squeals in pain and shakes TRex to ground:: # ::Irish roars a challenge at the dinosaurs :: # ROOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRR GGGGGGGRRRRROOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!! # ::TRex and TTop pause in their deadly stares and turn to the author of that 3rd roar:: # :::to herself::: That looks like the plan to me! # ::TRex snorts with pleasure:: ROOAAAAWWRRRR! # ::Irish srpings into action moving like green lightning despite his massive size:: # ::TTop digs forelegs into dirt three times, lowers it's flat head and bares its horns:: # :::sneakily races over to where the Doctor is hiding::: # ::TRex charges at the green monster:: # ::Irish smashs the nose of the Trex sending a massive splurt of blood flying splattering the green vegetation with crimson:: # ::TTop charges forward and crashes into green monster's knees:: # ROOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRR GGGGGGGRRRRROOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!! # ::TRex reels backwards in pain:: # ::to Doctor:: Good to see you again, sir, glad you're all right. # ::TTop horn's shred green monster's flesh:: # ::Irish absorbs the damage effortlessly as the green glow around him shimmers:: # ::TTop hunkers down and roars for a second volley:: # :: The Doctor smiles at Eos:: You may have set aa record for being the companion to save my life the quickest. Thank you very much for following me. I was a bit rash back in those woods. # ::hands the Doctor one of the yellow rings, wrapped in a napkin, taken from one of her pockets::: # You're welcome, Doctor. # :::smiles at him, then is distracted by Irish's fight::: <<> # ::TRex rights himself, sharpens his claws on a tree as he uproots it and snorts another challenge:: # :::stands up and starts applauding::: # ::Irish vanishes to reappear behind the TTop who seems to want to beat him and kicks him with his rear paws shredding armored flesh with ease:: # ::TRex turns toward the pitiful clapping sound to its left:: # Go Irish Go!!! # ::TRex sees a small ape snack waving its arms at him:: # ::Trex licks his lips:: # ROOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRR GGGGGGGRRRRROOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!! # :: The Doctor shushes Eos::: Don't encourage him. He is in some ways too powerful. # Uh-oh. # Yes sir. :::hunkers down to hide with the Doctor::: #::Irish grabs the TTOp with his paws and sends him flying into the TREX:: # ::Distracted by hunger, TRex tosses tree aside and begins lunging at the hairless apes:: # And please stop calling me sir, I am the Doctor. # Yes sir...I mean Doctor. # ::smiles sheepishly::: # TTop>Rreeeaaalllllgrrrhhh! ::waves arms wildly as its hurled through the air:: # :: The Doctor smiles at Eos then cringes at another dino lunge at them::: # ::TRex is hit broadside by TTop and sent rolling and toppling down the hillside:: # As soon as he finishes, we can go back to the Woods. # :: The Doctor nods:: Oh very good, stopping the fight without killing them... # ::TRex and TTop land at the bottom of the valley in a mass of bruised and twisted monster limbs:: # :::softly:: Yea Irish! # ROOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRR GGGGGGGRRRRROOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!! # ::Both monsters moan and whimper as they slip into unconsciousness side by side:: # :: The Doctor comes out of hiding and applauds Irish::: # ::Irish strikes a dramatic pose before shrinking down in size to his normal catself.. # :::gets the other ring out and starts switching them:: <> # :: The Doctor smiles:: Thank you for coming for me. I assume you brought round trip tickets? <> # ::puts the green ring in her pocket and gets the yellow ring out and ready to put on::: # ::Irish stumbles a bit :: That made me feel dizzy .. # I am not surprised. # If you put on the yellow ring ::nods toward the ring she gave the Doctor::: then we'll return to the Woods, Doctor. # Go ahead and climb back on, Irish. You were great! # I wish that you would stay out of trouble so I wouldn't have to do such dramatic gestures. #Well, having seen the local sites, I suggest we move along. # :: The Doctor puts his ring on and vanishes::: @ ::still seating at the table sipping his 3rd cup of tea:: # ::waits for Irish to climb back on, then slips the yellow ring on her finger and vanishes::: @ ::sees the three guests reappear in the pool and smiles:: #:::As the Doctor disappears with his friends there is a distortion above the planet and a cybership appears headed towards the planet at full speed::: # :::the sensation of a watery tunnel occurs again briefly::: @ Ah good, you've returned. I hope you enjoyed your adventure, young Doctor. @ :: The Doctor finds himself standing next to the pool he originally went into.::: @ :::Eos and Irish reappear in the Woods, beside the pool they had jumped into:: @ Or did you assume your mind was playing tricks on you? @ :: The Doctor turns to the hermit:: Young Doctor? You know one older than I? @ That was fun! And all these pools lead to different worlds? @ I know many things. ::smiles:: Don't I? ::twinkle in his eye:: @Fun ? @ Mindless destruction. @ :::gives a vigorous nod:: Fun! @ :: The Doctor takes a seat and pours himself a cup of tea.:: Well sir, it would seem that I was wrong, that we are at some strange intertemporal and interspatial nexus. I was very incorrect and I beg for your forgiveness. Have we any maple syrup for my tea? @ Rampaging beasts who kill each other.. @ On the contrary, my dear feline. Destruction always has a mind behind it. Some minds are just harder to grasp than others. @ :::sits back down at the table:: @ Of course, Doctor. I always keep the tea warm for my guests. @ :: The Doctor sips his tea:: And you say the TARDIS will heal through time? I am glad you are so right on other things when you make a prediction like that. @ ::pours him another cup:: @ I don't like tea .. @ :::puts plenty of honey in the tea before drinking it:: @ Eventually, you're... ah "ship" will be in good form here. @ I find the woods are a healing place for many. @ More cream, my feline friend? @ :: The Doctor puts his cup down:: But this is incredible, one spot with hundreds of portals to countless unknown places. This is what I call making travel easy. <> @ I am not hungry at all. @ Very well then. Perhaps you'd prefer that velvet cushion to rest your head. @ I had some danosaur .. @ ::to Doctor:: Travel is never easy, young man. @ No I like sleeping on the grass .. @ I think you will find the journeys here can be long and mind-opening. @ Enlightening to some and terrifying to others. @ :::listens intently while drinking her tea::: @ :: The Doctor smiles:: And that's the way I like it. @ But that is the nature of the woods. All sorts of secret places lie in wait for the unsuspecting traveller. @ ::Irish goes to sleep:: Zzz Zzz Zzz Zzz Zzz.. @ Adventures and relaxation, all in one? @ Certainly, my dear, certainly. @ ::smile broadens:: Excellent. I knew you had the spirit of adventure in you. I bet you just can't wait until you discover what lies beneath that pool... or that one... or even those... @ :: The Doctor stands::: No, I have a system. I choose one completely at random. Well, I do feel inspired, and ready for a "walk". Who knows where I shall end up? @ May I come with you, Doctor? @ :: The Doctor smiles at Eos::: because there really is no relaxation without an element of adventure, is there? @ That sounds right to me. <> @ ::reaches under his chair and pulls out two drawstring wrapped velvet bags:: Then you'll be needing these. @ :::takes one and looks inside it::: @ :: The Doctor nods:: I would be honored. You have saved me twice already and the third time may be the charm. @ :: The Doctor takes his bag::: @ Take care not to lose them. They will be your only provisions until you return to your "ship". @ :::smiles at the Doctor::: @ Food? Goody!! @ :: The Doctor pockets his provisions and offers Eos his arm:: @ Shall we let Irish nap for awhile? @ ::takes the Doctor's arm:::: @ What say we take a stroll into infinity my dear Eos? We can tell Irish all about it when we return. @ That sounds great! Irish will be sooo jealous ::grin::: @ ::strokes Irish's back:: Your companion is welcome to stay with me. He will be safe. @ :: The Doctor and Eos walk straight ahead and into a pool and vanish::: <> @ ::under breath:: Which is more than I can say for you. *** DWEos is now known as AlxKeegan <> <<>> <<>> BRAVO hurray!!! good job!!
