Taking this opportunity, you lean in and ask about the spirits in the bottles, but the bartender seems agitated and asks you to back off. You consider drinking what you've been given, but you don't get the chance.
From the dance floor, the King calls out for the bartender to make a drink for the young lady, but she takes matters into her own hands. She dashes over to you and drinks your cup before you can stop her. With a great smile, she lets out a breath and comes back to the dance floor.
The two begin their dance as music begins to play as you and the bartender look on.
Halfway through the song, the Queen stops in her place and stares at the King. He looks surprised.
The next thing you know, she has slipped out of his hands and disappeared altogether!
Now he stands alone on the dance floor with a heap of clothes in front of him


I've yet to think of a reply to send.

Quite glad I didn't have the drink when I was given it now Very Happy

Also, I've been getting encoded messages along with my replies from TV. I just haven't been including them because it would make my 'mission' much more difficult.

 		Um, I've no idea what to do now.

I just tried to go to the Grand Ballroom. I was denied with this response:

TV said:

"Unfortunately," the ghost responds, "the Grand Ballroom is currently closed for a function. I would be happy to deliver anything you like to that location… for a small fee, of course."

Any ideas?

Looks like I guessed correctly on what to do:
Quote:
Everyone around you is focused on the king, who is weighing his options and looks as though he's about to speak the bolded word. No one will notice you leaving. You're so tiny…

You hop over feet and around legs and make your way to the forest beyond the field.

It's a long journey with legs as small as yours, but you feel certain there is a reason your note directed you this way. You run faster than you've ever gone in your life, and still it seems to take an eternity to get even a few feet closer.

Eventually you arrive at the first trees – the beginning of a thick and wild forest that is as dark as midnight.

You take a deep breath and wander in, keeping your eyes out for a wolf.

Just ahead of you, something growls. It is a low, guttural sound – the sound of an animal about to pounce. You can only see about a foot in front of you because of the darkness, so you know the beast must be at least farther away than that.

At your feet you notice two items: a bone and a sharp knife. You may take only one item per turn.



The Governor appreciates your attention to the news.

I'm pretty sure the knife will do me no good against a wolf seeing as how I'm so small. I think I will try to tempt it with the bone.


I sent my reply in very late last night. Here it is:
Quote:
One item. While I am being growled at. Ok, ok, focus...

Knife or bone.

Well, considering my size the knife probably won't do me much good. It will either be too big for me to wield competently, or, if it is the perfect size for me it will prove to be a pin prick to anything fullsize.

Nervously I select the bone, hoping that whatever is growling at me likes bones.


I just thought of something...we have vampires; I wonder if the wolf I'm trying to appease with a bone intends to turn me into a werewolf!

 		I tie the rage into a lil ball and stuff it into one of my pockets, If that vampire comes looking for me , this might get tossed to lure him away. The scent of blood should be just enough to take him off my trail.
Let me check down the stairs, do I hear anyone, see any movement that might indicate someone is there.. Boy Hmm, well. I shall slide down the wall in stealth taking each stair slowly to keep them from creaking, Yes I know buildings like this tend to have creaky stairs... Let me know if anyone else shows up as I attempt to decend

Quote:

Hoping the washrag can serve its purpose later, you stuff it into your pocket and then begin your stealthy move slowly down the stairs.

On the next floor, you find yourself alone in a hallway. There is one room to your right, and there are three rooms to your left. Behind you, to both your left and your right, are staircases leading down.



Just thought i should edit to add my latest letter.

You lie on the floor, unsure of what to do. Suddenly, someone picks you up and hides you in his hand. There are voices calling out all around you.
"No one move! I need to preserve the crime scene."
"The drink! What was it! What did you give her!?!"
"Pardon me, King. There are some spirits that may know how to turn her back into a human - but they are being held captive in bottles, I've heard."
But something in you tells you there's more to it than that. If only you could see another person…

 		My latest move, full of lame jokes, boredom and hope:

Quote:
Blinking , I slowly drift out of my daze. For a while, it seems, I've been so shocked by recent events, I've been paralysed. Now it's time to be up and adventuring.

I take note of my surroundings. The tiny traveler Wolf has run off into the forest again, the sleeping King has magically disappeared, and Bill Ben Kyle the flower-pot man has walked off somewhere. Muff is standing there talking to himself, obviously having completely forgotten that I'm standing behind him. Oh well, I guess we're all a little nutty sometimes.

In the midst of bad puns, Muff suddenly walks over to the church. I shrug, wondering if he's possessed or something, and follow him inside. As I walk inside, I admire the architecture and the beautiful, stained glass windows. Half jokingly, I hold my hand out, hoping a letter like Wolf's will appear...


And TV's response:


Quote:
As your friend tells a few jokes to the lack of audience, he walks into the nearby church, and you follow him inside. He is completely unaware of your presence.

Inside the church there are beautiful, stained-glass windows above all the pews, and an altar at the end of the room.

Half hoping for a new direction, you hold out your hand.

A dragon image in one of the windows moves, and from its mouth flies a letter. It lands in your hand.

You open the letter and read.

Ehtah ve tenamalo. Wer kaldaka vucotic svaklar.


Don't worry Wolf, I'm coming! Say, did anyone notice candles inside the church?

After giving your own personal comedy show that would have instigated laughter had anyone else been present (though there is someone watching – someone you have forgotten), you decide to enter the church.

There you see beautiful, stained-glass images that line the walls. They are filled with incredible color and seem to tell a story.

There is an altar up front that appears to lack any kind of decoration or color. In fact, it appears to be missing something, though you can't tell what from this distance.


lol, forgot about Fractal Laughing

My reply:
Quote:
I'm considering the altar when I notice that one of the stained glass windows has suddenly moved. Much to my surprise, a letter flies out of the mouth of the image of a dragon...right into the hands of Fractal.

"Oh, hey Fractal! Uhh...so I kind of forgot you were there..." I say sheepishly.
"I noticed. You feeling alright, Merc?" Fractal asks me, glancing down at the sheet of paper in his hands.

"Me? Of course. I was just dropped off at a church by a talking dragon and watched a man disappear into thin air whilst surrounded by ghosts, but other than that, just peachy! I assume you heard the bad puns."

"Yes. They were pretty bad..." Fractal laughs.

"Yeah, well...a guy's gotta keep entertained. Anyway, what's with the letter? You think it has something to do with that altar up there?"

Fractal shrugs, briefly looking up from the letter.

"Couldn't say for sure. Trying to make out this letter. It says 'Ehtah ve tenamalo. Wer kaldaka vucotic svaklar'."

"Sorry, I don't speak Swedish."

From somewhere, I hear a faint rimshot, and say as much.

"Funny, all I heard was crickets." Fractal responds dryly.

"Oh har har. Well, you're the expert on magical creature-speak, so get crackin', Dick Tracy"

I stare at the letter in my hands. Great, I think. Juuuust great. Going by what happened last time I got one of these letters, I'll probably end up fighting a minotaur or something. Woot.

Looking up from my inner reverie, I notice that Muff has finally noticed me. After engaging in some witty banter (witty on my part, at least) he says "Well, you're the expert on magical creature-speak, so get crackin', Dick Tracy."

"Right away, Jamie Braddock," I retort, before focusing on the letter in my hand. Kaldaka... "I think it means wolf," I mutter. "Find... find me again?" Looking up at the window, then back at the letter in my hands, and draw the obvious conclusion.

"I think the dragon wants us to find it again," I say louder. "The letter says the wolf will know where he is. Do you think he means Wolf or an actual wolf?"

"I think Wolf has been sent to find a wolf," Muff reveals. "I read it over his shoulder when he got the letter, when you were off with the fairies... or should I say dragons?"

Bringing palm into contact with forehead, I sigh heavily before making my way to the altar, swiping a candle then jogging outside of the church, with Muff following behind. Crouching down on the ground, I spot the faint, tiny tracks of little human feet. Running as fast as I can alongside the tracks, stopping occasionally to check the tracks, I see not far ahead Wolf, trying to entice a large, growling, angry looking wolf with a bone. My feet hit something in the dirt as I slow down. I look down and see it is a knife. Thinking it could be useful later, I pick it up and put it in my pocket.

Remembering Wolf's situation, I back up and whisper to Muff, "Is there anything you can do?"


^_^ You didn't think you could get rid of us, did you Wolf? Razz Also, pleeeease let this not turn into Werewolfs vs Vampires. I'm really trying to forget Twilight...

 		Well, now I have to wait for the reply from TV, only one move per day you know.
By the way, I think Wolf is a girl, due to my accidentally smooshing Wolf's "chest" when on the dragon.

 		Ha, Lots of fun going on here. Cool
Quote:
As things calm down and the dance starts one of my bottled spirits acts up. Fortunatly no one is looking. Everyone's watcvhing the dance. I quickly shove both bottles of spirits in a corner under the bar and take several liquor bottles off of the back shelf and place them tightly around the two spirit bottles making them immobal in the corner. I also place two bottles of liquor ontop of the bar next to the Fishspear bottle.

To look a little more more relaxed I move to the end edge of the bar to watch the dance with a good view. Before I can see a step of the dance the Queen disappears! Already in motion I rush to the pile of cloths to start my investigation. After all I am the only one of the group who knows about the trap doors in this group. I tell the group. "No one move! I need to preserve the crime seen." Thinking it can't be a trap door because her clothes are left behind. I slowly pick through the pile of cloths looking closely at everything I see. I must save the new Queen!

After you stow the spirit bottles behind the liquor, you watch the Queen disappear. You rush over to the dance floor and begin rummaging through her clothes to find where she has gone.

The King does not looked pleased. Just then, your guest at the bar calls out, "Pardon me, King. There are some spirits that may know how to turn her back into a human - but they are being held captive in bottles, I've heard."

You stand up from the dance floor and look at him.

T.V.'s reply to my last turn:
Quote:
You safely hide the Queen in your hand before anything else can happen.
Not believing your luck, you cry out in frustration and stalk toward the bartender, who has come over to the dance floor. He yells, "No one move! I need to preserve the crime scene."
He rummages about for several seconds until you demand, "The drink! What was it! What did you give her!?!"
Just then, the man at the bar speaks up. "Pardon me, King. There are some spirits that may know how to turn her back into a human - but they are being held captive in bottles, I've heard."
The bartender stands up at stares at him.


MY reply:
Quote:
Professor, let the Queen see! Let her see! The priestess cries out in my mind.

In response I lower my hand holding the Queen to my side casually and relax my grip enough to allow the dirt mite that is Lairo to have full view of the dance floor and bar.

Looking back and forth from the shocked would-be inspector and the visitor near the bar who has called out to me I reply, "Tell me about these ghosts. What makes you think they know how to restore my Queen?"

 		I seem to have made another friend:
Quote:
You wrap your arms around the enormous bone and attempt to lift it. As you struggle with the object, the growling nearby grows louder.

You dash behind the bone to hide, but it is too late.

The animal pulls the bone up into the air, with you hanging on to the end.

With a flick of the bone, you are tossed onto the back of the animal, and soon you find yourself sitting in the midst of bushy, gray fur.

Behind you, a great tail is wagging.


My reply:
Quote:
As I find myself once again being whooshed through the air to my possible death I ponder the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

Oh yeah - 42.

Landing on a great gray rump I grab a couple of handfuls of fur hoping against hope that I won't be mistaken for a flea and immediately dislodged. The great bushy tail wags back and forth, rump moving in time. I find myself rocked side to side which, under normal circumstances, would feel nicely comforting. However, given my size in relation to my furry friend I am being tossed around like a ship in a hurricane. Thankfully I haven't eaten in a while!

The wolf, on the other hand, is happily gnawing away at the juicy bone.

"Hai there wolf" I try calling. It perks up it's ears and glances around trying to locate the source of the noise then dives back into the bone.

I attempt to walk along the back grasping clumps of fur, hoping to get closer to the ear. Then my foot gets stuck. I look down and see a sticky patch of mud embedded in the fur holding my foot firm.

"What IS it with these animals and their lack of grooming!" I sputter exasperatedly remembering the dry skin on the poor dragon. I begin peeling away chunks of mud and tossing them into the grass.

This gets the wolfs attention. He turns his great head around and sniffs at me experimentally. Fortunately, I was still holding on so the vaccuum effect didn't suck me off.

Apparently I passed the examination because the beast happily rolled onto it's side sending me tumbling through the air yet again.

As the world swirls around me I catch a glimpse of my two erstwhile companions crashing and barreling through the woods calling my name.
