Teatime with the Siblings!

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 89222

Biggles was not your average housecat. Biggles (as his name suggested) was big. Not just big….he was a LIGER - a lion and tiger mix, bred for its skills in magic. Luckily Rafyd, the centaur who reeked of apples, had taken Josh’s head as a trophy. When the liger had shown hostility, he tossed the head under the breakfast nook. This kept the liger busy. For now at least.

It should be noted that Josh’s head was still crying fresh tears of sorrow. And his body? It was wandering around outside the depot in an aimless stupor, at times bumping into a tree or other inanimate object. It eventually found a fencepost sans began dry humping it with the vigor of someone who still had their head. Silly Josh’s decapitated body!

“So, what brings ye to our neck o’ the woods?” inquired Brom, the eldest of the siblings, as he sipped his tea. “We aint been gettin’ much traffic through ‘ere of late, since the mountain midgets began their siege of Gillygate and the pox wiped out most of Knavesmire-by-the- Poopmound. Most of our clientele were folk travelin’ between the two, or fleein’ from one or the other y’see. Now that they BOTH went to shyte it’s been slim pickins. Not to mention the recession!”

“Well that’s a bit of a tale,” Astra was first to answer. “I’m princess Astra, in case you didn’t know. Yes, THE princess Astra. I’m sure you’ve heard of me. No? Oh. Really? Odd. I’m a little offended, to be honest. Anyway, I became a prisoner of the terrible dragon Minestus.”

“How so?” asked Bram, the younger of the two, though barely. He was blind but his eyes still seemed to pierce the very soul of the beholden.

“Um, this author named Matt Lucas was writing a bunch of incoherent crap,” explained THE princess. “So the Story Cops intervened. JH wanted to bag episode 70,000, so he took over and then Lots42 took the option that wrote me into the story - shackled to the walls of the Southern Caves as the dragons prisoner, naked as always. Exotica came to my rescue. On our way south we ran into the centaurs. Then we came to your depot and the rest is history!”

“Zzzzz….Zzzzzz….Huh? What! Oo! Right! Well isn’t that lovely,” Brom babbled.

Bram was drooling.

“Well, we can’t thank you guyth enough,” said Sensor the Sensor Troll. He spoke with a lisp, but he was a still a ‘bad ass mother f*cker’, as Samuel Jackson would say. “Wont you all thtay the night? The thtables are clean, if the thentaurs want to crash out there. And we got a thspare room for Exotica and Athtra. I’ll make uth all a lovely breakfatht in the morning.” He paused. “You know, everyone already knowth I have a lithp tho leth jutht keep my dialogue with normal thpelling, okay. Thanks! So much easier that way. Anyway, as I was saying, wont you all stay the night?”

  1. They agree. During the night, however, Josh's headless body wanders into bed with Astra. Hilarity ensues, in all probability. Either that or something really, really gross. Or both. Let's go with both.
  2. They agree. Biggles purrs contentedly as he munches on Josh's still crying head.
  3. They decline. Sensor is offended. The centaurs draw their weapons. Things are about to get hairy.
  4. They decline. Sensor shrugs. Brom shrugs. Bram has a mild stroke. Life goes on.
  5. Before they can come to a decision, the pox suddenly takes them all. Stupid pox.
  6. Before they can come to a decision, there is a knock at the gates. Who can it be?
