Chat room adventures

Alice struggles against the dagger coming very close to the now healed hole in her chest.

rick gets back up. "owww" rick brushes himself off. "uh oh i think i oops"

"Alice, just face it you're going to die!"

"I've cheated death enough times, I can cheat it now."

"You're just a burden to them and you know it!"

"You may be right there, but I can handle that differently than dying!"

'No you can't, you've tried. But its enividable." Alice realizes that he's right.

rick goes to change his pants "ewww" rick throws his dirty pants in the dirty laundry

"You're right, I admit it. But I don't want to go to hell so I'm going to fight you with everything I've got."

rick walks out of the laudry room. "wow i'm bored" rick goes back to sleep

"Alright," Jay says, "you fight and I'll win."

rick wakes up to do target practice with his newly found gun that no one knows about.. (lol)

"Adam, I uh... I have a hunch. We should go to the Grandiose Nebula."

Mattster tries to make his face look as though he hadn't read this information off a high-tech piece of tracking machinery.

"The Grandiose Nebula? But that's nearly two lightyears from here! What about all the planets in between that we haven't checked?"

"No, I'm sure of it. They're in that direction."

Adam glances sideways at Matt. "Ok, I'll take you up on that. But if they're not there... then we've lost Alice."

Mattster thanks Adam and returns to the bedroom. "I hope that thing's accurate, Mr Knight. If they don't show up when we reach Grandiose, I'll probably get ostracised off the ship."

"That's not important. Check this out. The news says Jamland King Visits Chuckopolis, that's a small inhabited asteroid within Grandiose!"

Mattster checks out the story. "Sources say he was accompanied by a young attractive vampire-cross. That's Alice! I could hug you, Mr Knight! Except that you're... you know, YOU."

Alice gets stabbed in the shoulder and uses her vague vampire powers to make herself appear dead. She hasn't got long. She thinks of everyone on the Highwind and hopes they get over her quickly. She swears she can hear rick complaining that he's bored and glad they're not thinking of her. They'll soon forget.

rick walks outside to shoot random things "pop, pop"

Alice puts pressure on her shoulder hoping to stay alive as long as she can.

rick runs up to find matt "wheres alice?"

"Umm Rick... well I think she's in the Grandiose Nebula."

"Yeah but why do you think that?"

"I - I, well..." Mattster glances at Mr Knight.

"Mr Knight!" Rick runs over to Mr Knight and starts shaking him. "You know where she is, don't you?"

"Well I - we think so." Mr Knight sighs and takes out the tracker. "Have a look at this..."

* * *

"So Jay is evil?" Rick asks.

"Pretty much," Mattster replies, "and he seems to have something nasty in store for Alice."

"And don't tell anyone who I am," Mr Knight adds.

"Ok then." Rick walks out the door. "Hey Bubbles, did you know Mr Knight is actually a secret agent tracking the King of Jamland?"

"Argh!"

Alice finds her amulet, rubs it, and reappears on the deck of the ship. SHe's still bleeding.
