Everyone else takes cover while Clix gets hit multiple
times, luckily
she has some protection from fire but she's starting to get quite hot.
CX: (Good thing I didn't bring my salamanders)
Aack! ((Falls over and pretends to be dead))
GC: Is he dead?
CL: ((Walking over)) I think so. But
it's a
she.
GC: Obviously he changed sex. Get him out of
here.
(That was close)
LK: Cheesers, Clix never did anything wrong.
GC: That is the most dangerous creature I've
ever
had the displeasure of meeting. You can thank me that I saved you from
the horrible things he would have done to you and all of New Cirra.
LK: What are you talking about?
CL: Thank you Goddess.
LK: But. ((Cal pokes her)) Ow! Thank
you
Goddess.
[Bonus points if you can guess what this scene was
about.]
Clix is dragged outside by some temple acolytes. Once
outside she gets
up, brushes off the accumulated dirt, and thanks the stunned acolytes
for dragging her out.
Heresy walks by on his way to the Temple. Tower is with
him.

HE: ((To Clix)) What happened to you?
CX: Word of advice: Don't start with a joke. ((Walks
off))
TW: Heresy, you sure this'll count as a Talent
act
for me? I can't juggle.
HE: Sure Tower, trust me. ((Gives Tower his
best
"used-car salesman" smile)) You don't need to know anything to do
Zen Juggling.
They walk into the Temple.
CL: The next contestants is Heresy, with Tower
assisting. Heresy will play the William Tell Overture on Tower.
TW: What's Cal talking about?
HE: I was hoping I wouldn't have to do this. ((Grabs
Tower and puts a cloth soaked in chloroform over his mouth))
TW: ...
GC: Bard, that wasn't the act was it? 'Cause if
it
was then it's awfully boring.
LK: No, I don't think that was it. Let's wait
and
find out what Heresy is up to.
Tower wakes up 45 minutes later, tied down to Heresy's
dentist chair.
GC: It's about time. I'm almost out of popcorn.
Bard, go make some more. You know how I like it.
