The World of Night

[Kerr]

Hastur walked up behind Goldilocks.`Now I just need a way to get his blood. But how?

[cowleyj]

Not finding any pick-like objects, James decided to se if he could smash the lock using a loose stone near the crack in the wall.

[Musicman247]

Steven saw Hastur behind Goldilocks, but he wasn't doing anything. Guess I gotta get the blood, he thought. He waited until the next chorus and then did a fast spin, making sure that the head of the guitar caught Goldilocks in the face, hitting him rather hard.

[The-Shadow-One]

Goldilocks didn't expect it at all, he crumpled like a paper swan, out cold. Blood ran from his nose.

[cowleyj]

James pried the stone loose and smashed it at the lock.

[Kerr]

Hastur dabbed his finger on the blood and absorbed it. "Right we need to find a place to put him. We'll strip him, gag him and stick him to the ground. I'll change into him and put on his clothes. Then you keep an eye on my blood and make sure nobody finds him." said Hastur. He grabbed Goldilocks legs waiting for Steven to take the other side of his body so they could carry him.

[The-Shadow-One]

Spoiler:

..Erm did i say there was a loose stone?

James being a idiot thinking he had a stone in his hand, whacked it off the lock and it stung like hell, it was likely the hand was broken. Meanwhile the bone still sat there, it looked like it could be used as a makeshift lock pick.

[Musicman247]

Steven set the guitar down and grabbed Goldilocks' upper body, lefting him above the ground. He followed Hastur.

[cowleyj]

oh cricket...that hurt, damn.

Spoiler:

my bad.

[Kerr]

They took him into a nearby storage room. Hastur stripped Goldilocks down to his underwear and gagged him with a napkin. Goldilocks was put in a large wooden box and stuck down with an immoblising blob.

Spoiler:

Hope this is okay with you. If not i'll edit it.

[Musicman247]

Hastur looks like he's done this before, Steven thought.

[The-Shadow-One]

Spoiler:

Sure. I just hope I have a timelimit on your thing but eh.. too late..

A guard walked past Jame's cell, his keys jangled on a chain.

[cowleyj]

"urgh, is that a guard? Finally. I was getting bored and even more insane down here.". James muttered.

[Musicman247]

"So what now? Should I watch the box, or go back with you?" Steven asked.

[Kerr]

Hastur cut his hand with his dagger and poured some of his blood into a cup. He handed it to Steven. "Keep my blood and clothes safe and make sure nobody finds him. I should really get a little vial to keep my blood in." said Hastur. He took off his clothes and put on Goldilock's ones before changing into him. Hastur fell to the ground.

[Musicman247]

Steven took the items and watched as Hasur's transformation took place. That must be terribly painful. And to think, he's already done this several times today!

[Kerr]

Hastur groaned in pain as he sat up. "I'll never get used to that. How do I look?" said Hastur.

[The-Shadow-One]

The Guard banged on the cell door "Quiet back there!" He yelled, he stood with his back to the door, his keychain jangling more, James could get it if he wanted.

[Musicman247]

"Like a tall, skinny...Goldilocks," Steven said, scrunching his face a little. "Is it still all you, or do you take on characteristics and memories of the person you change into? The other guards may ask you stuff."

[Kerr]

"I'm still me. My personality doesn't change and I don't get new memories." said Hastur. "I'll just have to bluff my way past them."

[Believe]

Alex had been wandering the castle after everyone else had left, and he found himself walking down a flight of stairs, into a dark, damp-smelling underground place.

"Oh good, I've found the wine cellar." He murmered to himself, ignoring the fact that there were chains hanging from the walls, some with skeletons still connected.

He heard a jingling sound, and a voice coming from around a couple of corners, and decided to investigate. He set off "stealthily", exaggerating every step he took.

Spoiler:

I want something to do, so I thought I'd go find James. Hope thats ok Shadow.

[unokitsune]

"Shouldn't tell me? Well we can't stay here you will have to come with me to the assembly." Aura knew she would have to talk to a guard or someone about Ferret.

[Justice knight]

"I'll be ten-fifteen minutes," Lucifer said, "Wait for me?"

[cowleyj]

James, trying his darnedest to be stealthy, nabbed the keys off the guard.

[Believe]

Alex rounded the corner just as James snaatched the keys off the guard.

"Hey James! There you are! I was gonna set you free, but I see you've already got the keys. Nice work!"
