WONK: the Chaos Reigns Players

[carter]

No, Kilroy, I mean all the way to the rear of the train, just in case that boxcar's got volatiles aboard, or I inadvertently score an own-goal on my own nukes...

Zaika sprouting wings? They got her! She's infected with some kind of virus! Run for it, Kilroy!

Oh, looks like some kind of improvised hang-glider. Never mind...

*muscles into cargo-hold, secures safety line, grabs a shotgun in each hand and starts dealing out avian death*

That's right, OBB--come get some! *OBB eats two shells full of buckshot, and feathers fall from the sky like rain*

Our Intrepid Warrior of the Sky deals death to evil winged minions!
Be still my heart!

Now, be quick about it!

Hoist the cabooses and Kilroy from certain Avian Flu!

Then away to R&R.

 

[KilroyCD]

(grasps head in consternation and disbelief)


Zaika has wings.

FLY BOY! FLY!

Wait, I see Zaika! Ive never seen a rabbit with wings before...what was in that egg-nog? Zaika is coming to pull me off the train to safety! I'm off! Go ahead DB, attack. SHE'S ALL YOURS!

 

[carter]

No, I must have been seeing things. They're not there. I'm trying, working my way slowly to get back to the boxcar as I'm about 15 cars back. DB - don't attack the until I get north of the boxcar, but I must pass Osama Bin Lovebird and his al-Quail henchmen before I can get there.

Do not fear!

DB is holding the AVIAN Horde at bay!

They must be there!

If not, there is no rest! (and I need to rest. Slippers...Milo?)

 

[Diamondback]

No, Kilroy--get as far to the rear of the train, away from that boxcar, as you can, unless you wanna glow in the dark...

I'm being as quick as I can, even on full-auto, these AA-12s only fire so fast...

*bin Lovebird and a swarm of quails get cut down by a hailstorm of birdshot*

*sees Kilroy and Zaika away*
Okay, never mind.

*lands chopper on flatcar, and loads nukes--then helps two lovely ladies aboard and lifts off*

Objective secured, gents. Waitaminnit... Holy Jesus, what is that? WHAT IS THAT?!

*boxcar tears apart, revealing a giant macaw with an equally colossal bad attitude*

Oh my God, it's... Birdzilla!

 

[carter]

Wait, I see Zaika! Ive never seen a rabbit with wings before...what was in that egg-nog? Zaika is coming to pull me off the train to safety! I'm off! Go ahead DB, attack. SHE'S ALL YOURS!

BUT...WHAT OF THE CABOOSES?

BUNNY, you alone can save the day!

Drop everything and HOP TO IT!

 

[KilroyCD]

I'm safe, but I've lost sight of the cabooses. I have no idea where they are. This whole ordeal has left me drained, both physically and mentally. The spiked egg-nog hasn't helped much there. Getting drowsy, must...get.....some.......sle...................

 

[zaika]

BUT...WHAT OF THE CABOOSES?

BUNNY, you alone can save the day!

Drop everything and HOP TO IT!

i grabbed them with my huge teeth and enormous talons. we're flying away. GO FOR IT DB!

 

[Diamondback]

Waitaminnit, if you've got them, who've I got tucked away in my cargo hold?

 

[zaika]

dun-dun-duuuuuuuuuun!!!!

 

[carter]

i grabbed them with my huge teeth and enormous talons

WELL DONE! BRAVO, HIP HIP HOORAY!

Bless you, Bunny.

Link up with DB and return to WONK HQ.

TOP MARKS to all!

Keep an eagle eye on that Kilroy chap. We'll need to sort him later.

Give my best to the cabooses and I'll see you on the other side of dawn.

I hope the Cavalry and MNC have come through intact.

Bless you all and praise to St. Albatross.

 

[KilroyCD]

Waitaminnit, if you've got them, who've I got tucked away in my cargo hold?

OHMYGAWD! They're Polymorphs!

Tune in same time tomorrow when Carter, DB, Zaika and Kilroy try to determine which pair of cabooses is the real pair. Same time, same station...

 

[carter]

Waitaminnit, if you've got them, who've I got tucked away in my cargo hold?

(What indeed.
We'll reveal all in due time dear reader.
Now close your sleepy eyes and dream of AVIAN Agents and wonder what may lurk in your birdcage or just outside your window. :fedora:

carter gathers the plate of scones and pot of tea under one arm as he moves about the Ready Room dousing the lights. The lights slowly fade to black as he exits the room softly humming The Battle Hymn of the Republic of Fensterstrasse (a very small republic consisting of a single street located in a forgotten valley high in the Alps)

His slippers lie forgotten beneath his desk as a tiny "chirp" emanates from the chimney.
______________________________________________

And so we conclude this evening's Loungecast of the ongoing saga of The Rescue of the Two Cabooses.

The cabooses have been rescued by our intrepid players but a new threat has risen to darken the skies.

And what of our mystery couple aboard the train? Have they survived the hostitilities? How are they involved? Are they involved? If so, with who?

Inspired by Marc Chevalier from a post by Carter derived from a photo posted by Salv.

Our Cast this Evening was: zaika, Diamondback, Kilroy, and carter.

Missing in Action were: Dos Tacos, dashiell, and Mr. Newport Custom. (Never fear they are out there somewhere and will reappear at any inopportune moment.)

Pyrotechnics provided by Diamondback from Warrior of the Skies, Inc. a division of Albatross & Ravenswood Ltd.

Log on daily for more breadcrumbs, clues, tidbits, and some totally irrelevant information as we look forward with some trepidation to our next mind-numbing episode as the Chaos Reigns Players continue the soon-to-be-but-not-yet-concluded saga of The Rescue of the Two Cabooses.

Wait a second...

*collects DNA from errant hairs, runs tests*

Not one pair, two pair! Interesting, not just one set of identical twins, but identical quadruplets...

And I still got problems with a big bird with a bad attitude--it's gaining on us... Somebody scramble fighters, quick, or we're bird-food!

Sorry I'm late! Did I miss anything?

Anyone here? (listens for echoes)

Anyone?

Hmm! Oh well. Good night.

[KilroyCD]

It's amazing the difference one night makes...

I've managed to shake off my egg-nog induced hangover and slip past the attack Macaw to regain control of my avatar. I've made my way back to the aerodrome and have been reunited with my beloved Spitfire fighter plane. I've been welcomed back by my wingman Flight Lieutenant Pete Moss and his Chinese batman, Lo Phat. Squadron Leader Justin Thyme however, admonished me for attempting to take on the attack Macaw and Osama Bin Lovebird alone. My batman, Hey Yu, was more sympathetic. So I sit here, at readiness, awaiting instructions from Carter and DB. A couple of questions though, was I really saved from certain destruction on the train by a big rabbit with wings? And how did we end up with four cabooses?

(A disembodied voice comes from above)

Kilroy, em...err..cough...we threadcast on Friday evenings. It takes the players at least a week to recover.
Please stand down and marshall your forces. Give our regards to Lt. Moss, Lo Phat, and Hey Yu.
Indeed sir, you were snatched from the beak of destruction by none other than Bunny, the winged one with big 'orrible teeth and claws. Hoppin' ready for a tussel she was.
Four cabooses? mmm...must be a vision problem. I'd have that checked out if I were you.
mmmm...Milo?...

 

[KilroyCD]

Ah, right then

As I was new to the fray, I was unaware of the Friday only threadcast. I'll stand down for the time being...

(Well, there could be rehearsals or even scripting.

Spontaniety might suffer but not as much as the readers do currently..)
