Overlord's Orders: Holiday Special

[Tiria Wildlough]

'Let me explain. I started saying rude things in French because death-defying beavers highly respect people who can be rude in languages other than their own. I didn't speak English because I might have gotten in trouble. But we didn't end up making a pact because Tam and Martin started distracting the beavers, and they forgot about the pact. Sorry.'

[Tam and Martin]

Martin: We weren't distracting the beavers - we were trying to communicate with them because Tam had accidentally eaten a pecan, which he was allergic to, and his lips and throat had swollen up. He wasn't making any sense. I was trying to ask the beavers for allergy medicene but they didn't understand. I went into a series of pantomimes, which offended the beavers (who think pantomimes are offensive), and they got angry. It wasn't our fault we didn't strike a pact - we were super close to doing so - that is, until DanielofRedwall purposefully gave Tam something that had pecans in it and he unknowningly ate it. That caused all the trouble and we were unable to make the back. We are very sorry, overlord.

"Tourism is not sustainable or stable. I cannot get into that business, and as such I will not tolerate such practices. Servant HIAG, you are dismissed." A quick button clicked, and HIAG found himself falling through a suddenly existent hole in the floor, the place he stood being a circular panel of the ground. Clanking sounded below the throne room, and then a loud whistle. The room then shook, and a sound of something like a steam engine sounded. Finally, the Overlord spoke.
"That will be the last HIAG is seen by any of you or me, or he will see of this sphere or us. Quite good, that. Now, get from my sight, I need to contemplate in silence your incompetence and how it hinders me. Lack of a pact! What am I to do?"



When the servants entered he Overlord's throne room for a new mission, they were surprised to find it decorated profusely with Christmas trees, mistletoe, garland and all manner of bright and cheery decorations of the season. At least, they would have been bright, had there been any real light in the great sphere. The Overlord was straight to the point.
"Ignore all the failing equipment, if you will. Also any loud clanks. This sphere is not meant to go anywhere, but stay stationary. Of course it isn't stationary anymore, and thus such chaos. I'll make no secret to you my goal: reaching Earth for the holiday of Christmas. No task related to providing holiday spirit to me this mission, weak and worthless underlings. No, I have more important matters to attend to. You see, Overlord Lear has sent me a top-secret invitation, which I am entitled to once again. Indeed, by such clever and genius work of my extravagant mind! It'll be bright green with red lights on it-a small envelope. I'll teleport you to a mountain range where it was left. Bring me it without peeking into it. That's bad manners." ((OOC: You can't peek into this letter and find out about it))


A very tired group of servants was before the Overlord. All the Christmas decorations were smashed around, obviously a side effect of the sphere's rapid travel across space. Most of the garland was burned and scraps of wrapping paper blew around. The Overlord glanced over them all, then spoke.
"I'm not sure whether to be pleased or upset. No, definitely upset, because there's nothing to be pleased about. My invitation has been incinerated besides the location, which happens to be my home galaxy, very far away. What happened?"

[Redwaller]

Redwaller detached himself from the group and bowed before the Overlord.
"Ho! Mighty Overlord! We had gone to do your bidding and I had just grabbed the letter when Tiria bumped into me and blew it with a leaf-blower. It sent it up into a tree. And a mighty tall tree at that!"

[Tiria Wildlough]

'I was trying to get it to DanielofRedwall, who was at the top of the tall tree, because he said that he knew how to get the letter sent to you straight away. However, when it reached him, he batted it away, and it fell down to Leatho Shellhound. I don't know what Leatho did with it, Overlord.'

[Leatho Shellhound]

OOC: Oops sorry I missed a round.

"When I got it the wind blew it out of my hands and went to the north pole were it got lost with all of santa claus' mail."

[Tiria Wildlough]

OOC: You're not allowed to contradict people. If someone says there was a tree, then there was most definitely a tree.

Ok sorry, I'm new to this....i'll change it.

[Tam and Martin]

Mighty Overlord, we went to the North Pole and jumped inside Santa's mailbox (which is as big as an elephant) and started searching. We finally (after 5 days) got the letter but Skipper came with a vacuum and sucked up the letter then he ran off with it. Martin chased after him but she was hit in the eyes with pepper spray from Tiria Wildlough.

[Skipper]

I ran off with the letter because there was a reindeer chasing me, you see it must have mistaked the letter for some childs christmas list so I had to run or it could have done some serious damge. Once I was safely away I circled round and handed the letter to Tam.

[Tam and Martin]

But once Skipper gave it to me, Tiria came over to me and before I could ge away she pepper sprayed me too.

[Tiria Wildlough]

I pepper sprayed Tam and Martin because I knew what to do with the letter, and they wouldn't let me have it, but before I could get it, Redwaller grabbed it and threw it down a well.

[Redwaller]

I threw it down the well because it was a time bomb disguised as the letter you wanted. The real one was taken away by Leatho Shellhound.

[Leatho Shellhound]

"Some one shoot me with a sleep dart and when I woke, your letter was in my hand! So I ran over and gave it to Martin (who by now has recovered) so she could take it to you."

[DanielofRedwall]

OOC: I honestly thought I'd already posted for this round, apparently not.

BIC: "Your Lordship, I whacked the letter back because it had an incredibly deadly bug on it. I called out for it again, but maybe they didn't hear me. I actually did know how to deliver it directly from a tree. If I whistle at a certain pitch a very reliable friend of mine-my pet owl- would come. The tree was for a confortable landing for him. Ever seen or read Harry Potter sir? We have that kind of thing going on where I can tell him where to send the letter and he'll be there, quick as a flash. No lies have ever escaped this mouth, my Lord."
