Fill-In-The-Blank Game!

mule running from a leopard. Just then, the leopard stooped and eyed @Doctor.Sphinx...

 

[Sam91]

Although somewhat ruggedly handsome, he was also quite a coward on occasion.

'Heelp!' Shrieked Dr S, rather girlishly, high-pitched, wide-eyed with dread. However, with his immense intellect he knew not to run. His hands clenched in terror, squeezed his camera, dislodging the sandy residue that had caused the button to stick..

*FLASH* With the snap of light, the leopard leapt...

 

[Doctor.Sphinx]

It was at this point that @Sam91 realised that rather than cowering in terror, the brave and chivalrous doctor had instead been communicating with the leopard, warning it, even... she trembled with guilt at her less-than-worthy thoughts... daring it to attack him first, to spare her life, as he had saved her from the black death-infested corpse she had insisted on bringing with her to the pyramid. He had forced her to leave it there, minus the preserving spices she would daily use to season it, where he said it would spread bubonic pestilence no longer.

Anyhoo, the leopard didn't stand a chance against Doctor Sphinx, who quickly snapped its neck like he would a chicken bone. The group cheered and clapped, one of the ladies may have even given the hero a quick kiss on the cheek, all the group was ecstatic - well, most all of the group, except Sam91, who was still kind of miffed about the plague carrier he'd forced her to leave behind in the pyramid...

 

[Doctor.Sphinx]

Well, after a few days of everyone pretty much just standing around doing nothing, someone finally caved and fixed Doctor Sphinx's phone. It was done surreptitiously in the night, so nobody actually saw who it was, although everyone had his or her own suspicions. The first hint that the phone had been repaired was the loud but amusing ringtone announcing that someone was trying to contact Doctor Sphinx. The second were the good doctor's words "Hello, Doctor Sphinx speaking..."

The intrepid band were just about to drift off again as the doctor gave his life-saving medical advice telephonically, when a fat and greying unicorn, minus its horn, wandered into the clearing and starting looking intently at the doctor's nose, interrupting his important telephone conversation...

 

[Sam91]

(EDITORIAL NOTE... THE UNICORN WAS NOT MISSING ITS HORN. IT WAS HIDDEN TO MOST, ONLY A SELECT FEW CAN SEE IT)

The somehow still ruggedly handsome Dr S stood transfixed; gazing spellbound. He wondered why he didn't think of it before. Infact, he thought a lot of things:

'A rhino's horn. Ha! What a farcicle idea... however, a Unicorn horn nose. Look how it shimmers and shines. The ladies will love it! Who needs a regenerating, immunity yarmulke now? Sam 91 can have that for her corpse. A legendary nose for a legendary Doctor... Oh the power, oh the prestige..'

The unicorn seemed to be able to read the normally good doctors mind. It turned and dashed away, remarkably swift for an overweight beast. The enchanted Doctor giving chase.

There was no way that @Lilac would allow this. She...

 

[DavidFirth]

threw her rope and lasso'd our good doctor. The doctor then decided to...

 

[Sam91]

Turn and charge towards the lasso'd Doctor Sphinx. He heroically leapt onto the unicorn. He sat astride the wondrous creature. His hands enclosed around the horn. He felt the life flowing up his hands and his heart was healed.

He felt renewed, whatever had poisoned his heart had left.

@*LILAC gasped at Dr Sphinx. His nose was very fine. It was no longer a monstrous mess. @*LILAC exclaimed...

(Yay, I can do it @*LILAC )

 

[Sam91]

Dr Sphinx jumped down off the unicorn with renewed vigour, praising the Lord God Almighty for the fortuitous circumstances. @DavidFirth approached the somehow less rugged Dr S and gave a congratulatory pat on the back.

The unicorn, meanwhile

 

[Doctor.Sphinx]

Was rigorously stomping at the ground, the little, green leprechaun trying with all haste to avoid the unicorn's hooves, as though his very life depended on it, which it did.

Doctor Sphinx's new nose shimmered and shined with triumph and wisdom, and he petted the unicorn amicably. "Rhino", he said, for he had decided to name the unicorn Rhino, due to the oversized and inconvenient rhinoceros tusk that he had swapped for its exotic nose.

"Rhino", he repeated, "Sam 91 will need that ugly and burdensome rhinoceros tusk for her corpse".
"The little leprechaun was only trying to be obedient to her wishes, for you see she is still wearing her yarmulke of compelling mandate. It had nothing to do with his plague-carrying tendencies..."

At this, the somewhat obsese and looking-ever-more-rhinoceristic grey unicorn relented somewhat, but not before @DavidFirth could let out a shout...

 

[DavidFirth]

Hey, don't tell me @Sam91 is a corpse! Here she comes now...

 

[Sam91]

Glaring at @DavidFirth for such a mean jibe. "Losing weight sometimes makes one temporarily haggard. Plague isn't an easy disease to recover from. It was the fault that careless @Doctor.Sphinx , not due to my friend that he forced me to desert in the desert!" [Desert/desert is not a typo]

Still glaring, she eyed Dr S's new nose. Deciding to keep quiet, rather than regaling the crew with a speel of antipathy for him, she looked around, and asked @*LILAC "Where have the others gotten to?"

" @christine40 @joyshirley @Spikey @jameseb @sunshineforJesus @lucypevensie ? Was @LaSorcia here? ...

 

[joyshirley]

At that moment joyshirley approached, the supposedly slain leopard miraculously walking alongside her.

"I've been tending to the leopard," js said as Dr S gazed in stupefaction at the beautiful animal with her. "Just a fracture that put him out of action for a few days - all better now," she announced airily, for all the world as if a pretty little kitten were at her heels.

The leopard glanced dismissively at Dr S, before pacing over to the unicorn. They appeared to confer with one another, then the unicorn walked over to Sam and touched her with his hoof. Instantly, her health and strength returned.

Everyone gazed in wonder as the unicorn began to shimmer and glow, so brightly they had to shield their eyes. A gentle thud heralded the shrugging off of the rhino nose from the unicorn's beautiful body, transformed from being grey and obese to strong and snow white. His unicorn horn glistened like pearls as he turned to Dr S, now reduced to his normal human appearance.

"We have watched your journey through our lands and you have been found wanting. Go now and never return!"

Consternation filled the rec roomers as they met the unflinching gaze of the unicorn.

"What have we done? Can we earn back their trust?"

 

[mama2one]

Christine wandered over then and said she'd been looking for insect repellant as she swells up with skeeter bites and the bugs were getting thick as thieves

she'd been searching thru everyone's backpacks because of her desperation and was oblivious to everything

having found some bug spray, Christine then saw @Lilac, @DavidFirth, @Doctor.Sphinx @joyshirley
and said "what's been going on?"

 

[joyshirley]

Everyone spun round to Christine and a babble of explanations broke out as joyshirley turned away to smile at the unicorn. He winked at her and then he and the leopard broke into a run, moving so fast that they were out of sight in seconds.

"So I have bug spray, but here we are, stuck out here in the middle of the delta/plain/thingy, surrounded by wild animals and I'm tired!" Christine announced firmly.

"Not to worry! James is here!"

Everyone spun round again ("Ooer, I'm getting dizzy with all this spinning round!" Lilac said) as a huge jeep roared up with James at the wheel.

"Jump in, everyone! We're off!"

 

[GreenWizard]

@gennypearl rides in on George, her giraffe. Getting down from George, she then accuses everyone here of being too silly. She kicks her legs forward one at a time around in a circle, then in a big harumph she mounts her trusty steed George.

Riding off followed by a cloud of dust, all you hear is her cackling loudly with inane glee.

 

[DavidFirth]

Well, that was weird.

Armed bandits in a fast truck gave chase to the heroes in the jeep as @joyshirley exclaimed,...

 

[Sam91]

"Let's go skiing on Mount Everest!!"

Which seemed an unlikely thing for @joyshirley to say. However, I think she meant it. Afterall, she never...

 

[Sam91]

Sam91 teased her about wanting to cuddle a fluffy yeti...quite forgetting who actually took a liking to snuggling yetis.

Meanwhile, the bandits were gaining. The ordinarily nosed Dr S was still sulking petulantly under a tree, @DavidFirth was busy directing the driver. @joyshirley snapped out her reverie and had an idea. She could emulate David defeating Goliath.

She stole, well, borrowed @*LILAC 's spare headband and accosted @LaSorcia 's....

 

[DavidFirth]

.50 cal machine gun and started shooting at the bandits to scare them off. @Doctor.Sphinx then decided to...

 

[Sam91]

Stop sulking and flagged down another jeep yelling 'Follow that car!' He had always wanted to say that. The driver...
