031 - Northwest Berry Trio

[Icy blue eyes - not the Piemaker's eyes - focus intently back at the rest of the Barge. When he speaks, he doesn't mention who he's speaking to: it's clear it's to one specific person he has in mind. Digby hides under the bed, as the Piemaker grasps meat cleaver and tenderizer in both hands]

Ready to serve, Master.

[ichoosefight]

Well that can't be good.

[deadly_ned]

[His eyes move towards Steph, watching her with unnerving intensity]

Who do you serve?

[ichoosefight]

Myself. I'm at the top of the ladder, I'm just that cool.

[ He is obviously brainwashed or something, so why the hell not ]

[deadly_ned]

[This is not a satisfactory answer. He stands up, weapons in hand, clearly looking to drag Steph into Arthas' fold by her hair if need be]

[ichoosefight]

What? Was it something I said?

[deadly_ned]

Submit to the Lich King or be destroyed.

[ichoosefight]

Lich King. Doesn't sound familiar. What does submitting entail, exactly?

[deadly_ned]

Obeying his orders. Carrying out his will. Whatever is necessary for his rule.

[ichoosefight]

[ ...Well, a flood's a flood. If it'll prevent a fight... ]

Sure, why not?

[deadly_ned]

...Good.

[His arms relax. No trying to cleave Steph with his kitchen knives today!]

Where is Dean Winchester?

[ichoosefight]

I'm not sure. Nobody's here who's supposed to be. For starters, I'm pretty sure you left a while ago.

[deadly_ned]

I did?

[He has no memory of this]

[ichoosefight]

Yup. A couple of months ago, I think.

[deadly_ned]

I don't remember.

[ichoosefight]

Huh. Must be a flood thing.

[deadly_ned]

If you think so.

I must go to him now. Come with me.

[ichoosefight]

You go ahead, I'll catch up. My whole room's out of whack, I have to find my stuff.

[deadly_ned]

I wouldn't be so concerned about material possessions.

[ichoosefight]

I wouldn't normally, but I need weapons, right?

[ Look you get knives, she gets to stall for time. ]

[deadly_ned]

For what?

[ichoosefight]

Uh, for everything? You always gotta have weapons. You never know when you might be attacked by non-believers.

[deadly_ned]

You don't want to follow him.

[ichoosefight]

Not without my staff I don't. I just need to find the stupid thing.

[deadly_ned]

Find it, then. It won't make any difference.

[ichoosefight]

I plan to.
