Saved by the Cat

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 20313

The thing was terrified and it lurched backwards with the cat scratching into it, right into the swirling portal, beyond time itself -- back into time -- and bumping into one of its own kind from the past! for you see cats (or more properly Grrkyrffundalienum meaning the ugly enemies with sharp nasty claws and living uncountable lives - the things could not count beyond eight, you see) are their ancestral enemies. Then the mystical quantum portal fizzed shut.

This left Andrew's bathroom only slightly less over-crowded. Andrew still stood with his back to the door. In front of him, only a few feet away, still stood the incongruous trio of the medieval knight, the naked girl and the small dog. Behind them was the porcelain toilet. Andrew was glad that the hideous monstrosity was gone, but he felt pity and sadness for what had happened to his cat.

Time, which seemed to have stooped (at least on an emotional level if not in truth of fact), now zoomed back into moving existance. Andrew stared at these interlopers. His eyes stared perhaps too heavily on the naked girl, but hey... he's a boy. "Who... who are you?"

Unfortunately the trio from the past had no clue as to what 'who are you' meant nor any other word, phrase, comment or question in the English language. They only knew the King's Tongue, Common, and scatterings of a few other indigenous languages (all of which are now extinct in this day and age).

What happens now?

  1. the foursome attempt some haphazard form of communication...
  2. the witch attempts some lingua franca incantation...
  3. Andrew tries to find a solution from his computer...
  4. Andrew's mother walks in on the foursome and is most troubled by the naked woman...
