 		Whoo Hoo!
I was able to bring the DR. back to life. I am hedging my bet that it was the pin wheel that made him mad. A doctor is needed and he has enough enemys around anyway if he gets out of hand. Without his pin wheel I hope he is reformed and can do his job.

I did place my last life bead on Randy's grave. Nothing will happen until you guys are ready.

 		I, too, received the email. Maybe the priestess can bring Randy back?

Having two such very different friends is interesting. My pal the wolf slurps me up and down, soaking me and my clothing. Then, my pal the dragon uses his rougher tongue and just a bit of heat to dry me off.

Does Transition Village have bathing facilities?

At least I can see what's happening seeing as how I am vertically challenged; I just climb up on my dragon pals neck and I can see over all the taller travelers in front of me.

I have to admit I am not completely clear on what happened after riding in to the ghost camp on my great gray beast. I remember a lot of screaming and shouting and hanging on desperately lest I be flung into a rock or a campfire.

At one point I was showered with ice. I am still wondering where that came from.

Then everything went dark. Next thing I knew I was standing by the graveyard with my buddies waiting...

 		The POV of me :P
ME:
Quote:
Im confused and I dont know what to do, I have no life beads and I dont think I know anything about who is buried here, I clutch the key tightly, its the only thing I do have thats of any interest ...... For the moment I will just watch the others... Am I still supposed to go unseen I wonder.



TV:
Quote:
All of Transition Village held its breath for Monday and Tuesday, waiting for the final days of the Graveyard Event. The event will last from Wednesday to Friday, with a party celebrating the deeds of all travelers on Saturday.

Welcome to the Graveyard Event.

Confused, you clutch your key and look around at the events taking place. It doesn't appear to matter anymore that you are seen, so you let your guard down.

One traveler, who keeps changing shape look exactly like whoever he/she is facing, brings forward a picture of the graves in the yard. There are two people buried here, it seems: Randy Porknut and Dr. Dark Owl.

Another traveler is holding a flower pot with a picture of soap on it, and somewhere nearby, a bar of soap is flipping up and down in the air, as far as you can tell, all by itself!

In the silence, you stand with the others and wait. Then a traveler steps forward and pulls out some items: three life beads and a scalpel. He puts them on Dr. Dark Owl's grave.

With a gasp, the faint image of a woman's ghost says, "You mean to revive that one?"

The traveler nods.

Just then, the ground begins to shake, and the soil shifts just a little. From the ground where the Doctor must lie, you see fingers appear. Then a hand. Then an arm. Dr. Dark Owl is crawling out of his grave!

He gets his body halfway out, his face twisted in a sneer, but then he stops. It is as if he is unable to move any more.

The ghost says in a hushed voice that sounds terrified, "He will need the flower pot with the pinwheel image to complete the revival. Does anyone have this item?"

Everyone looks around. It does not seem to be here.

"Without the flower pot, I'm afraid our… doctor will have to stay in the ground," the ghost says, and you could swear you see a smile on her face.

"I override that rule," says a voice from behind the crowd. It is a ghost dressed as a butler, and he has come out of the mansion that overlooks the graveyard.

"Mr. Unsound!" the ghost woman says in exasperation.

"Do as I say," the butler tells her. Nervously, the ghost woman floats forward and takes the hand of the reanimated doctor. She tugs. With a little effort, the doctor slides eerily from his own grave and lands, face-down on the ground with the crowd.

As the new arrival catches his breath, the ghost says, still nervously, "Does… does anyone else have something to offer the other grave?" Something on her transparent face looks very hopeful.

You hold your key tightly, not noticing what is written on it.


ME:
Quote:

I decide to take a quick look downward at the key, looking at it for a moment, before I simply hold it out, silently waiting for someone to take it ..... "Will This Help Anyone? " I ask, dumbfounded at what Ive just seen....


TV
Quote:

The Queen places two life beads on Randy's grave, and the traveler who raised Dr. Dark Owl offers two more life beads.

You consider the key in your hand. "Will this help anyone?" Just then, an amazing scene unfolds.

The King kneels down to put some soil in the pot he's grabbed, and when he stands again, there is a strange humming from the object he holds. Something is happening.

There is a little rumble in the pot, and then, from the top of the dirt, a beautiful flower begins to bloom. It rises rapidly until it stands up straight, blossoming in his hands. Its petals are brightly colored, and its aroma is as sweet as fresh bread.

Across the graveyard, near a gate, the ghost of a young man walks toward you.

He stops when he sees the flower. "My love…?"

The man pulls his trench coat closer to his neck and rushes forward. "It's you! My darling!"

With one motion, the ghost snatches the flowerpot from the King's hands and cries ghostly tears onto its petals. The tears slide downward into the soil and then disappear.

Then a burst of light comes from the soil, and the flower vanishes, too. In its place stands the ghost of a beautiful woman! She is fair with long, flowing hair, and she falls into the arms of the young man. They embrace, her face hidden in his coat while he strokes her hair.

"I've finally returned," he says.

After a moment of soft sobbing, the Priestess pulls away. She turns to face the King, and she walks closer. "Thank you for protecting me," she says. Her ghostly skin sparkles when she speaks.

The King tips his hat.

She kisses his cheek.

"Now," she says with newfound authority, "we must revive the other person buried here."

"Ha!" shouts Mr. Unsound. "You can't! You used the flowerpot that he needs!"

Nearby, Dr. Dark Owl stands and brushes the dirt from his legs. His expression spells danger.

"Ah, Shag," says the Priestess. "But you overrode that very rule yourself. And Randy Porknut has more life beads than your… doctor." She waves her slender arms in the air and calls out with a voice that sounds like a songbird's, "The first magical deed of the Priestess of the village! I revive Randy Porknut! Awaken from your slumber, innocent friend!"

Instead of crawling out of the dirt, suddenly there is Randy, standing over the grave, full of life.

"Well, hey!" he says. "I'm alive again! Just like Earl!"

"YOU!" With a horrible growl that sounds like an animal, the doctor turns to Randy. He looks as though he is about to attack!

You take another look at the key, and this time you see something inscribed along the edges of it. Something… very tiny… You squint.

Guess I was wrong about the scalpel being This Dr's.

Don't worry about the Dr. I brought him back to life I can buried him again if he if out of control.
I moved to take him by the throat with the blade. If he does not behave I will cut him and return him to his dirt nap. Evil or Very Mad

 		My reply to the last round:

Quote:
Reaching for my ever ready whip (Didn't forget about it did you?) I crack the air with a tiny sonic boom as the leather hits the ground in front of the doctor's feet.

"Watch it fella', you mess with Porknut you're going through me," I yell out angrily as I tilt my hat forward and prepare to fight.

 		rofl
Mr. Unsound can be upset with me all he wants.
We need to remember that I am now the Special Assistant to the Governor.
I am equal to or if not hold more power than Mr. Unsound.

Hey Robbie Razz Just remember I am also holding my scalpel to the Dr's throat. Use your whip. Just be careful not to get me. I see that scar on your chin. Very Happy

Any suggestions on how I should deal with Mr. Unsound?

HA!!! I've had a little experience since then thankyouverymuch!

I don't know, maybe we should wait and see how he responds. I'm doubting he's going to do anything to get his newly resurrected throat slit... Laughing

A traveler dashes over to grab the scalpel on the Doctor's grave and grabs him just before he can attack, holding the blade under his chin.

"I brought you back into this world, Doctor, and I will take you out if you can't be civilized. We have a proper way to settle grievances. You must show everyone you are reformed, or you will continue your dirt nap," the traveler says.

At the same moment, the King of the festival pulls out a whip and cracks it loudly. "Watch it fella', you mess with Porknut you're going through me," he shouts as he tips his hat forward and prepares to fight.

Showing your strength, you step forward and crack your knuckles. "I dare you." Then you turn to Randy. "Yo, Sticky Itchers is the best! Good to see ya back." Randy gives you a wide grin and nods happily.

Another traveler pulls out a knife. It seems that everyone is planning to side with Randy.

The Doctor seems perplexed. "I'm sorry. It was never my fault, after all," he says.

From across the graveyard, the butler says, "But! Doctor!"

The traveler holding him must have loosened his grip just a little, because the crazed man takes his advantage, swinging the traveler backward and pulling the scalpel to his chin instead. The Doctor uses the traveler as a shield as he inches toward Randy Porknut.

"I have a bone to pick with Mr. Porknut, and no one else! Back away, and I won't hurt this traveler!" the Doctor screams maniacally.

The doors to the mansion swing open again. A man stands there, wearing a top hat. He simply watches.

"Now, I can't let you do that," Randy says, his eyes wide and nervous.

"Get back in your grave!" the Doctor yells. "Send me back home! I don't like interfering idiots! Get back in the ground!"

For one second, he turns the scalpel at Randy, and Randy lunges forward, knocking him over onto his back. The other traveler escapes.

The shape-shifting traveler stalks over to the doctor now, her body morphing into his shape. When he sees her there, his mouth falls open and hangs there in a twisted expression of a silent scream.

With the help of the other travelers, you use the King's whip to tie the doctor up and leave him in the dirt.

"No! Nooooo!" the Doctor yells. "It's not my fault!!!!!!!!"

From the door to the mansion comes a slow clapping. It is the man with the top hat, and he strides out to meet everyone in the graveyard.

"Well done," he says. "Well done. I am the Governor, and I have been so pleased to have all of you in my village. You have saved a good man, and you have brought another man back to assist me in the creation of my new dungeon." He bends over at his round belly to look at the Doctor and says, "You'll enjoy that, I imagine. It will be your new home, after all. It's the least I can offer after what you did with the book called From Light to Dark."

A low growl comes from the throat of the Doctor. Behind him, Mr. Unsound is sneaking away. "Shag," the Governor calls out, and the butler freezes in his place. "You'll be his roommate for a while."

The Governor stands again. He turns to you. "And you," he says.

You hold out the key and ask, "So, mind me asking what was so important about this thing?"

After a close inspection of the key, the Governor says, "PurityTowers.com? I'm afraid I don't know anything about that. You'll have to explore it on your own. Good luck, my friends. I hope to see all of you in my village again soon."

He shakes everyone's hands and gives each traveler a note before every ghost in the village (along with Randy and the Doctor) disappears.

You open your letter. It says,

Congratulations! You have successfully completed Transition Village II. To take part in the after-party, simply email a picture of yourself (or a drawing) along with a description of how you will behave at the party. Hope to see you there.

Sincerely,

The Governor

 		Huzzah! Congrats, everyone! Very Happy That was awesome, and I definitely look forward to Transition Village III and seeing our statue, and which part of ifihadahifi can shoot lasers Razz

Hopefully I'll see you all at Purity Towers!

PS: I was the traveler with the knife, and we totally need to set up a LAN at the party.

PPS: The book From Light to Dark was written by Irene L. Pynn and can be found here. Unless I've totally missed something from earlier. In which case, trout away. Looks like a good book, at least from the blurb and the excerpt.
