(Court of the Krimson King?)
Evan was startled by the screaming women. He lurched up, catching a small strand of hair on Amy's scythe.
"Sounds like someone else is inviting us to a party, but this one I don't exactly want to go too.." Evan said, slurring the last word.
He walked over to Chung, and whispered into his ear,
"I want to know what I am getting into. Or, getting Amy into. I know the importance of this, but she means everything, and without her I am nothing, and that is a quite literal statement.."

(Not quite yet. The Crimson King's in another dimension... we're still in Music City right now, just on the outskirts. It's an abandoned carnival attraction called Thriller, I mentioned it earlier.)
Chung nodded and said, "There's something going on here that not even I understand. I don't know whether the clowns -- and I mean that literally -- who run this place are actual clowns, or ghosts, or zombies, or something else that I've not even heard of. All I know is that they like to kill people, and that the portal to the Darklands -- and, beyond that, the Court of the Crimson King -- lies beneath this place. It's the most likely place to find the Man In The Long Black Coat, his zombie army and the other Cowboys From Hell."
In the distance, someone fired up a chainsaw, and another woman screamed. The organ music changed, and after a handful of vaguely horror-movie-type notes a cheesy, yet catchy '80s-style bass track started playing.
(For anyone who knows the actual song "Thriller", which I imagine is most of you, it's playing now. Do with that what you will.)

Evan looked at Amy with a look of concern on his face. She nodded. He turned back to Chung.
"I go with you, even if the others don't. Its going to take more than just you and that fancy sword to deal with another necromancer." He chuckled playfully, trying to lighten up the moment.

"Your help will be greatly required in this particular situation, so I'm glad to have you with me," Chung told Evan. "What about the rest of you?" he asked, looking around at the others.
"I hate clowns, but I'll get bored waiting out here," Frankie said, coming down from the turret -- the entrance was too small to drive through, they would have to go on foot from here. "Let's kick some ass."

"Hold on a sec." Evan said. He began pulling off his clothes and replacing them with the ones he meet them in.
"Much more comfortable to kick ass in."

Symphonia was a bit freaked out about the sudden music and the voices she had heard, but her eyes narrowed at the challenge. "I will accompany you..." And then they returned to look into Chungs, a sense of burnin conviction eminating from them as she stared not at him... but into him. If anyone could sense the aura about the elf woman now, it had become terribly turbulent in the last few moments.

(This will be troublesome without GG or Poptart... or Rosy... We need to find out whats going on before the climax.)

(Yeah, I can drop GG an email and ask him what's up... I saw Rosy post earlier this week, so presumably she's still around. But without Poptart it will be a bit unwieldy.)

( I don't mind waiting. I just hope they didn't leave because of me is all. )

(They didn't leave because of you, Jess. They've both told me they've got real-life stuff going on... I assume they just don't have time to post at the moment.)

(6 pages is a lot to read... but... FINISHED!)
Fan bolted upright with a gasp. She had fallen asleep in the back of the van a while back, but the screams woke her up in a heartbeat. "What was that?" She looked around, trying to get a feel for where she was at. "Symphonia! You look different... I love the new eyes!" She started to climb out of the back and over a seat when another scream echoed in the distance. Startled, she fell off the back of the seat and rolled forward onto the ground. She stood up and brushed herself off, then looked out the front window. "That... doesn't look pleasant... we going in?" she asked, looking towards Chung.

"Evan, Symphonia, Frankie and I am," Chung told Fan. "Whether you do or not is your own choice... this is, as they say in the military, a volunteer-only mission." He figured Fan would probably still accompany them... she seemed a brave enough sort.
