Fill-In-The-Blank Game!

[Sam91]

A rude little leprechaun arrived out of nowhere and promptly gave @Sam91 10 plane tickets to Nepal! After trying to sneak a look into the girl's tent he vanished. @Doctor.Sphinx stood there in shock...

Sam91 asked why the Leprechaun had given her tickets to Nepal... she thought they were on the Nepalese side of the foot of Mt Everest...

"@Doctor.Sphinx where are we?" She implored.

@DavidFirth panted after his rather comedic pursuit of the pesky, little leprechaun, which had ended which him face down, the ladies' tent collapsed around him.

As he straightened himself the group chuckled. Dangling off his shoulder was a...

black and red falcon. As everyone glanced at it, it squawked, "Go Falcons!" and flew away toward Atlanta.

The Dalai Lama then approached the group and offered everyone horses. He said, "Go to Tibet and enjoy the beautiful country."

So the group galloped away to Tibet.

 

[Doctor.Sphinx]

It was the rhythmic bumping of the horses galloping that woke Doctor Sphinx from his extended rest.

Rather than leave him behind with the rest of the broken equipment now at the mercy of the mysterious peeping leprechaun, he had been packed rather compactly into somebody's sack. Judging by the military precision of the pack and general lack of space, he guessed it had been @DavidFirth's handiwork, although the arnica pulp dressing on his wounds, and smell of licorice root and ginseng made him suspect that somebody else a little more skilled in healing had also been involved.

Doctor Sphinx was partway through gnawing an air hole in the sack with his teeth, when @ebony the Raven, ever watchful, had realised her master had awakened, and quickly alighted upon his sack to assist him from the outside.

In no time at all, the doctor's head was poking out of the sack, which had been secured somewhat awkwardly on one of the larger of the horses. The largest horse, of course, had been reserved for @*LILAC and her enormous, now sleeping, yeti. @LaSorcia was dressed all in green and wearing a bycocket, looking quite in her element upon another horse. @Sam91, wearing what appeared to be a yarmulke of special horsemanship, was riding a horse which likewise appeared to be wearing a yarmulke. She appeared to be quietly talking to her horse, but stranger still, the horse appeared to be answering her back every so often. Doctor Sphinx would have rubbed his eyes, but his arms were still trapped in the sack.

It was then that the doctor noticed...

 

[Sam91]

That the leprechaun was first to notice his head protruding from the sack. Being quite a small dude and disadvantaged in the art of hand to hand combat, the little green fellow siezed the opportunity.

The spritely thing jumped adeptly onto the sack and started slapping and pinching the ruggedly, handsome face. @ebony outraged, homed in on the Leprechaun and started pecking away madly at him.

The group were completely unaware of these events due to the sack with the captive doctor being on the cart pulled by the rear-most horse.

Sam 91 looked around and noticed that @Samantha91 was no longer tagging along. She had a smug smile and wondered if the mods had dispelled her permanently. That was one face she'll be glad to not see again.

She looked ahead at @LaSorcia and wondered where buys her clothes when she noticed a ....

 

[Doctor.Sphinx]

noxious sore spreading across LaSorcia's horse and in the general direction of @LaSorcia. The wound seemed to originate where @Samantha91 had been sitting. She glanced to the rear-most cart, just in time to spot @ebony rescuing what appeared to be Doctor Sphinx's head from the peculiar assault of a clearly troubled leprechaun.

"Doctor Sphinx" @Sam91 called out, as Ebony carried the leprechaun away to a secluded location, where a hungry raven could properly enjoy her well-earned meal. After catching the good doctor's attention, Sam91 nodded her head in the direction of LaSorcia's horse, which was now in view of the doctor, due to the repositioning of the sack during the aforementioned battle with the leprechaun.

Doctor Sphinx gave a disappointed look, and answered back something to the effect of now that Samantha91 had departed, he wouldn't get a chance to trial his dark-tinted sunglasses of protection against aesthetic enchantment.

"No, no, Doctor" called out Sam91. "The horse! Look at the horse!"
Her keen sense of sight (due to the yarmulke of observational excellence sitting neatly atop her head), picked out the doctor rolling his eyes, as he muttered "These egotistical moderators."
"A simple dispellation wouldn't do, they had to utilise a fancy plague to carry out their master plan expulsion, and now the rare disease had spread and was endangering the entire group. Honestly, I think we were better off in the days of the green wizards, when they would invoke a leprechaun or two to take care of such unpleasant business..."
"Excuse me, doctor" interupted Sam91, "I can't hear you very well due to the distance and the speed of our horses, and I'm only wearing my yarmulke of observational excellence rather than my yarmulke of extraordinary hearing".
"Well, they both suit you very well" the doctor yelled back.
"Thank you, doctor, but what are we going to do about LaSorcia's horse?" the other shouted back.

It was at this point that LaSorcia realised the others were discussing her horse...

 

[Sam91]

(@Doctor.Sphinx Oh that is far too interesting and hilarious... please continue if and when you have time)

 

[Doctor.Sphinx]

With a flip reminiscent of the days of Robin Hood and his merry men, but a squeal of disgust more reminiscent of the Sherriff of Nottingham when caught by surprise by the same whilst performing somewhat ignoble deeds in the forest, @LaSorcia dismounted from her steed, whilst her beast continued its gallop.

@DavidFirth was the first to notice, and quickly turned his mount around. The others, @*LILAC, her Yeti, @christine40, @george, @gennypearl, @joyshirley and even the disturbed and warped @GreenWizard (having escaped the sharp clutches of @ebony for a moment) followed suit.

"Please help!" exclaimed...

 

[Sam91]

The good doctor. "This sack was packed so securely, that I can not extricate myself"

"Some would say that is a bonus" said the @GreenWizard . "You are safe in there from getting into more mischief, or your next dangerous exploit"

@gennypearl tutted and rolled her eyes at the mischevious wizard. She took out her pocket knife and freed the good and grateful @Doctor.Sphinx .

It was at that moment...

 

[Doctor.Sphinx]

that @LaSorcia rose to her full height. Casting off her green bycocket and frowning most darkly at Doctor Sphinx while thunder clapped and lightning flashed around the small group, she demanded "Who is it that dares to question the wisdom of the Moderators?"

While a lesser man might have chosen such a moment to retreat in order to survive and plan for a counter-attack, the brave but somewhat socially challenged Doctor Sphinx simply donned his dark-tinted sunglasses of protection against aesthetic enchantment, which also doubled as the welding-visor of shielding against Moderator-generated electrical tricks, and returned the challenge "Whom is it that dares question the wisdom of the doctors?"

The rest of the party, quite impressed with LaSorcia's electrical storm illusion, but quickly losing interest in what appeared to be the beginnings of another of Doctor Sphinx's long-winded speeches...

 

[Sam91]

"Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with all forms of malice. Be kind and compassionate to each other, forgiving each other as in Christ, God forgave you. Ephesians 4:31- 32 or somewhere nearby" Chimed Sam91. "Don't be wise in your own sight..."

@LaSorcia and @Doctor.Sphinx looked at @Sam91 and then back at each other. They nodded, reading each others expression. She can be so annoying sometimes....

 

[DavidFirth]

but that's okay since she is the only one besides @LaSorcia who can keep @Doctor.Sphinx in line. Somewhat bored, @gennypearl said...

 

[joyshirley]

"Who's cooking dinner?"

"Yeah, where's my hamburger with all the trimmings?" David said, looking hopefully at Christine.

"Not my turn to feed the troops!" Christine laughed, turning away to examine a map of Tibet.

The yeti, who had been listening attentively to the conversation, suddenly spoke, to the astonishment of everyone.

"I'm going home now! Spot ya later!" as he began to amble off up a nearby snow-covered mountain.

"Waaah!! Come baaaack!" Lilac wept as she tried to catch up with him through knee-high snow.

Suddenly, Lilac disappeared from view completely.

"Oh no!" as everyone rushed to where Lilac had been standing only seconds before.

"Look! A shaft going down under the ground! Get a rope - quickly!" David ordered.

"Here goes!" as joyshirley was lowered down the shaft, the rope tied securely to a very convenient rock standing nearby.

"I'm on terra firma!" js called. "Come on down!"

"Why do we seem to spend so much time underground on our travels?" she muttered to herself as the others arrived.

"Where is Lilac?" as David turned on a bright torch, revealing several tunnels branching off from the cave they found themselves in, but no Lilac.

"Ok - which way?" David asked, looking round at everyone. "We have to find Lilac immediately!"

 

[DavidFirth]

"Should we split up and look for her?" David asked the bewildered group. After giving @christine40 the Evil Eye, David also asked, "And who is going to cook my burgers?"

 

[mama2one]

Christine was tired of getting the evil eye and wondered if it was because she dislikes burgers and hot dogs and refuses to eat or cook them

so she decided to be extra nice and offered to cook the burgers but next thing you know she was saying "oops" and.......

 

[Kiterius]

suddenly a shot rang out!

 

[Sam91]

From the glow of the eye, the shooter was visible. @LaSorcia stood tall, gun held above her head.

'Right everyone, how quick do you think we can find @*LILAC She may need urgent help'...

 

[mama2one]

oh no, now every burger had fallen into the fire and was soon to be burnt to a crisp but everyone agreed @Lilac was a priority and not @DavidFirth s stomach so........

 

[DavidFirth]

@christine40 shoved a lump of dirt into David's mouth and shouted, "Ride 'em, cowboy, we got to find @*LILAC right now!" @Doctor.Sphinx led the way toward the sound of the shot but then...

 

[Doctor.Sphinx]

Turned back in surprise. There, in the clearing, someone was reading from Matthew chapter 5 - he thought he could make out @*LILAC, but couldn't be certain. Doctor Sphinx nodded his head in approval. As he listened, he realised the voice was reading from the KJV, no less. Doctor Sphinx nodded his head again in approval, as the group sat around the campfire that @*LILAC had prepared (using copious amounts of petrol, hence the "shot" that was heard by the group earlier).

"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."

"Well, what an interesting passage" stated @DavidFirth somewhat obviously.

"Indeed" agreed Doctor Sphinx, "And it seems to rule out our dirty, naughty leprechaun friend ever entering the kingdom of heaven. His righteousness certainly doesn't exceed that of the Pharisees. Even that really bad one - uhhh... I think he was called Saul..."

"Silly!" exclaimed @Sam91, now wearing the yarmulke of extra-ordinary New Testament knowledge. "He changed his name to Paul, but that's beside the point. None of our righteousness allows us to enter Heaven..."

Doctor Sphinx let out a gasp - "You mean... Not even mine..."

"No", the group replied unanimously.

"But, but..." continued the doctor, somewhat surprised and more than a little desperate, "I save lives, I impart wisdom, I know the scriptures back to front...I...uh..."
"I even wear this little religious hat like Sam" he pointed, as he quickly donned the yarmulke of apparent Jewish ancestry, "and I've done so for more than 3000 years!"

The group gasped, as no one had expected the doctor to be quite so old, especially considering his apparent rapport with the younger generation.

"Do you dye your hair and beard?" the @GreenWizard enquired. "It's just a little odd that you're not grey, considering your age and all..."

"Still no good" Sam91 interrupted, bringing the topic back on track, "because God's standard is perfection. Remember that little, white lie you posted about yourself the other week to appear more righteous..."

Doctor Sphinx stared at the ground, hoping someone would change the topic, and quickly...
