Title: Tomb
The Powers That Be - July 30, 2006 06:39 PM (GMT)
This room is home to several sarcophaguses set against the wall. As well as these, there are more graves set into the ground, like large tables with lids that slide off to reveal the wrapped bodies inside. The room is beautifully decorated with golden coins, jewels, statues of long-necked cats made of solid ebony and other such wonders.

::Veronica enters cautiously with Dante blah blah, all them, you know who I mean and stops short.::
"Great. Sarcophagus galore. Think of all the undead that's about to rise and rip us to shreds."
Luke - August 20, 2006 03:38 PM (GMT)
"After being stabbed in the crotch and reduced to ashes by an energy ball, I think this will be a cakewalk."
Veronica - August 20, 2006 03:47 PM (GMT)
::Veronica just stares at Luke, wondering what the hell he's on about.::
Luke - August 20, 2006 03:53 PM (GMT)
Dar - August 20, 2006 05:25 PM (GMT)
"You really do say the strangest things sometimes, Luke."
::Dar walks into the room properly.::
"Right. If anything's going to jump out and terrify me out of my mind, I better just get it over with."
::She does a full loop around the room.::
Luke - August 20, 2006 05:35 PM (GMT)
::Luke follows Dar, running his hand along each sarcophagus as he passes them.::
Aidan - August 20, 2006 05:42 PM (GMT)
"Great, more dead bodies."
::Aidan says, terrified any more undead are going to attack.::
Dar - August 20, 2006 05:54 PM (GMT)
"Oh, aren't these cute?"
::Dar picks up a particular statue of one of the long-necked cats, noticing that it's surprisingly heavy.::
The Powers That Be - August 20, 2006 05:54 PM (GMT)
[Everybody will find their attention drawn to the cat.]
Veronica - August 20, 2006 05:56 PM (GMT)
::Finds her attention drawn to the cat.::
Luke - August 20, 2006 05:58 PM (GMT)
Dante - August 20, 2006 05:58 PM (GMT)
"Oh look, that cat."
::Dante drops the wipes and finds his attention drawn to the cat::
The Powers That Be - August 20, 2006 06:01 PM (GMT)
[Although it's just a statue, the cat seems to be in some form of distress. How you know this? Ask AP when you next see her, but accept it for now.]
Aidan - August 20, 2006 06:03 PM (GMT)
"For God's sake someone help that poor cat already!"
Dante - August 20, 2006 06:04 PM (GMT)
"Why don't you instead of just talking about it?"
::He glares at Aidan and wonders how the statue can be in distress::
"It is just a statue. But..."
Aidan - August 20, 2006 06:20 PM (GMT)
::Aidan scoots fowards lugging Sharon and speaks to the cat.::
"Cheer up cat..."
The Powers That Be - August 20, 2006 06:30 PM (GMT)
[Give it some love, people!]
Luke - August 20, 2006 06:39 PM (GMT)
"I think it might be cold."
::Luke unbuttons his shirt and hands it to Dar.::
"Wrap it up and keep it warm."
Dante - August 20, 2006 06:57 PM (GMT)
"Yes, keep the statue warm."
::It's irrational, he knows it, but somehow it seems right for Luke to do it::
Aidan - August 20, 2006 07:20 PM (GMT)
::Ordinarily, he'd be checking Luke out, but he's more concerned with the cat.::
"Maybe our clothes aren't good enough for the cat..."
(We're not good enough for it.)
Dante - August 20, 2006 07:57 PM (GMT)
"Stop being a loser."
::Dante watches the cat some more::
Luke - August 20, 2006 07:59 PM (GMT)
"Stop it, you two. You'll upset the cat."
Dante - August 20, 2006 08:38 PM (GMT)
"You can shut up."
::Dante doesn't stop looking at the cat while bitching at Luke::
Luke - August 20, 2006 08:46 PM (GMT)
"It needs some love to make it feel appreciated."
::Luke reaches out to pet the statue's head.::
Aidan - August 20, 2006 09:54 PM (GMT)
"I love you cat!"
::Aidan takes Sharon's limp and lifeless hand and uses it to stroke the cat with.::
"Sharon loves you too!"
Dar - August 20, 2006 10:45 PM (GMT)
"Who's a cute little pussy kitten?"
Bast - August 20, 2006 10:48 PM (GMT)
::Suddenly they statue begins to grow and writhe in Dar's hands. There's a gutteral meow coming from its throat as soft fur sprouts out and seconds later, a full-grown cat lands softly on the floor and announces in a grateful female voice.::
"At last! Worship! I am free!"
::The cat leaps into the air and does an impressive twisty thing. The ooo and ahh spell is dropped on you guys, so you know. Bast lands and laughs.::
"I am..."
::She stops suddenly.::
"... cat?"
Veronica - August 20, 2006 10:48 PM (GMT)
::Stares.::
"What the heck?"
Bast - August 20, 2006 10:49 PM (GMT)
Luke - August 20, 2006 10:50 PM (GMT)
Aidan - August 20, 2006 10:54 PM (GMT)
(Is it going to dance!?)
"...and you dance dance dance?"
Bast - August 20, 2006 10:56 PM (GMT)
::Bast fixes Aidan with a cool stare.::
"What?"
Aidan - August 20, 2006 10:57 PM (GMT)
"Nevermind..."
(One day...)
::He says, disappointment in his eyes.::
Bast - August 20, 2006 10:58 PM (GMT)
"I can't believe I'm still a cat! Don't you people know how to worship properly??"
Aidan - August 20, 2006 10:59 PM (GMT)
"What were you before mister-whisker?"
Luke - August 20, 2006 10:59 PM (GMT)
"Wait... you weren't always a cat?"
Bast - August 20, 2006 11:01 PM (GMT)
::Bast tries to stand up on two feet but fails, and stares at Aidan once more.::
"Mister?"
(Cray-zee.)
"Well I was that statue, wasn't I?"
Luke - August 20, 2006 11:02 PM (GMT)
"That's true. I thought you were making it out as though you were formerly a human."
Aidan - August 20, 2006 11:05 PM (GMT)
"Awhh..."
(Trying to stand.)
