GC: ((Turns to look at Leicky. Lifts
eyebrows.)) And why should I care, hmm? They worship me, not the
other way around. Besides, I love this toy. I've been practicing and
I've almost gotten good enough to get it to go up the stairs!
LK: ((Thinks: that's impossible))
GC: No it isn't. Shows back on.
They start watching Act 4.
There's a distant stomp and the room shakes. Leicky
looks up in alarm.
The Goddess is intently watching the show.
LK: Did you feel something?
GC: Shhh! It's just Autumn's rats.
Leicky isn't so sure. Another stomp, closer. Room shakes
a little
harder.
LK: There it is again!
GC: Quiet bard! Or it's off to Tartarus with
you.
Leicky shuts up. A third stomp, even closer. Room shakes
just a bit
more.
If you listen closely you can faintly hear screaming.
GC: ((Still watching TV)) Be a good
bard and
see who's at the door.
Leicky gets up and goes outside to see what's going on.
LK: Aahh! Giant Lizard!
|
A giant lizard is at the edge of town and heading
towards the Temple.
GC: ((From inside)) Who's at the door?
I can
hardly hear you!
LK: ((Speechless. In shock.))
End of Act 4. Show's over. The Goddess teleports outside
next to
Leicky.
Goddess starts playing with her Slinky again.
GC: ((Looks at the shocked Leicky))
Hello?!?
I asked you who's at the door.
LK: ((Points to the edge of New Cirra))
GC: ((Turns to look)) Aahh! Giant
Lizard! ((faints,
who knew the Goddess had a fear of giant lizards?))
It would take Trancer and two firemen 45 long minutes to
revive the
Goddess.
Meanwhile...
GL: ROAR!!
New Cirrans: Run away!!!
Bello and the New Cirran Police Department are trying to
evacuate the
area.
BL: I didn't sign up for this! Where's Jeff
when you
need him? Where's the army, where's the air force, where's the navy? I
should've called in sick.
