(VoE) Be Careful what you wish for? Chapter one
Posted: Sat May 15, 2004 11:56 am
What would happen if certain members of esteemd forum were brought to the world of Gaea? What direction would that world take from our intrepid members? Sometimes thoughts for stories come in that time were you want to sleep but can't.
For those who don't know, I am a AD&D gamemaster for over 10 years. I like the Medievel fantasy genre. I have done this before taking characters from different worlds and dropping in them into unexpected situations. I think you all will probaly like this.
The reason for some of the forum members and not others is fimilarity or lack there of. The people I have ( and have accepted) are the ones that I have most conversed with on these boards. I will still get many of thier personality quirks wrong as I really don't know them that well. I also am doing this as part of of a collabration effort. I think that this could work as many of the authors are very good.
the only thing I ask is that we try not to make this a running gag.
Now on with the show
Now on with the show
TT was sitting at his desk trying to figure out how to do the math homework given to him. It was a quadratic equation, one that had more then 4 variables. His head was hurting form the misfiring of nerves in his head as he tried to comprehend what's was taught earlier in school. He decided to tae a break and go online.. After all, he had to get back at Hellfire for the nasty trick that he played on him with the Pandas and Koalas.
CPOK was home goofing off on the computer laughing his ass off as Hellfire just unloaded the secret Koala squad on TT's hyperactive Pandas. He noticed on IRC that HF, Tau, Naz and Bel were again talking about their comparative lack of luck in landing the female sex.
Esyla was trying of her prom dress, trying to figure what accessories go with it. Two days and she'll be the toast of her junior prom, making all the girls envy her and all the boys dropping to their collective knees, bowing before her beauty. She looked at her computer and saw a question to the board form TT.
Jae looked at the question/poll with bewilderment. It was from TT alright as only he could spell that badly. But why?
"How many of u would wish you could go to Gayah? I know I would, TT"
Esyla answered first " In a heartbeat. I would want to meet Alan."
"I would. I would like to see all the different artwork in Palas." came from Jae.
"Of Course, TT. Anything to go pilot a Melef." responded HF.
" Ha, HF. I go to see those feminine feline twins. After all, Falken can't hold a candle to me." as Tau was typing furiously.
"No way, Tau, my friend. those Twin would fall for me and you know it." as Nazgul chuckled.
" I'd go, too. After all, how many times do you see Oriental-Western European amalgamation fantasy world." While CPOK sipping some tea.
Bel looked at his computer, while putting things in his backpack. While the discussion between him, Tau, HF, and Naz degenerated into a whine session, he decided to get his pack ready for his vacation. Most people would go vacation on the Gulf Coast, Florida, Caribbean or Hawaii, but not him. Nope, he was going hiking on the AT (Appalachian Trail) for the next three weeks. The question posted by TT was intriguing. How many times did he dream of walking there? Too many. He punched his response. After all, what could happen, that his wish come true?
"That would be an affirmative from Atlanta, TT" typed Bel. Then Bel logged off the forum and IRC. He had to get his stuff in the car, now or he was never going to get it to the AT when he wanted to.
He picked up the pack and moved to his car. "Damn, I need to weigh this thing. Its got to be almost 80 pounds. " He stopped just out side his car, to open the trunk to put his pack in there, when a blinding blue light him. In an instant he was lifted off the ground , with his gear into the heaven.
The next moment, he was falling to the ground. He hit it hard, and was groaning when his pack hit him.
"Awch, That's got to hurt." said a female voice. Bel looked around and saw a young female in what looked to be a long prom dress. He couldn't tell, but he was sure she wasn't there earlier.
"I wonder who this is? Could this be that imbecile, TT?" said the young female. The accent or lack there of clued Bel that this girl was from the Midwest.
Another voice spoke. This was a deep voice with an Australian accent. "No lass, that would be Bel. Considering he has a backpack and other hiking gear with him, that would be my guess?"
Bel looked at the voice and saw a bespeckled slightly balding man. He looked around and found himself not home in the suburbs of Atlanta, but in some wooded glade with concentric stone blocks at equal distances from one another circling the glade. He looked up at the night sky and saw something that couldn't exist. Crescent forms of the Moon and Earth?
Klerk offered his hand to the stunned Bel. " You guessed it, Bel. e got what we wished for, We are on Gaea. "
"Speak for yourself, Klerk. I didn't want this. I mean that obnoxious TT just ruined my dress." said the Irate teenager.
" I guess that you would be Esyla, then." as Bel got up from under his pack. He stood up at attention and bowed to her. "It is a pleasure and honor to meet you."
"Whatever. I just want to know how am I going to get back home. I've got to get this dress traded in and find all the right accessories for it in two days. I've got my junior prom to go to." she said in a big huff. *And where is that sniveling TT. I've got to give him a good ass kicking for this one. He's gone too far this time.*
"How long have you been here, Chief?" as Bel started to get his gear picked up. He went to the middle compartment of his pack and got out a gun belt that had a 9mm Beretta pistol.
Klerk raised his eyebrow at this. "Why would you have that, Bel? Problems in the Appalachians?"
Bel looked at the pistol to make sure there was no visible damage, the he got a magazine and put in the pistol. "Never know what’s there, and considering I was going to do it alone, better safe then sorry." Bel got a flashlight out and turned it on. The red beam illuminated the ground that hid under the trees."
"I've been here for about five minutes and so has the lass over there."
"I am no lass, Klerk. "
Bel looked over at the 'east' and saw something shine under the light. he went over there and was shocked to see a male teenager sprawled there.
"Klerk, get my first aid kit out of my pack." he told the Aussie over his shoulder.
Klerk went over to the pack and instantly found a small first aid pack in the top flap.
Esyla came over with Klerk and saw the hurt teenager being attended to by the large red head. Bel opened the first aid kit and got some smelling salts. He put it under the kids nose. The kid was instantly brought back to concusisness.
"Are you okay, kid? Anything hurting?" asked Bel as Klerk and Esyla looked over his shoulder.
The kid looked around and recognized Klerk from a picture. He also saw a redheaded man and a teenage girl what appeared to be a prom dress.
"I guess it worked, huh?"
"why you little..." as Esyla picked up Bel's pistol from his belt and started to point it at TT. The next moment she was hitting the ground hard and the pistol was in the air. Klerk picked the gun out of the air and pointed it at he ground as Bel got up.
"Listen lass, this is not a toy, and you have no idea what could have happened if i didn't stop you." said the Aussie.
"don't worry, Chief. the safety was on." Bel went over to Esyla and offered his hand. "Are you alright, Alyse?"
"There better not be another tear in this dress, TT, or your paying for it." she said with venom has she got herself up, ignoring the hand offered by Bel.
However, TT was frantically searching for something in the underbrush.
"What are you looking for, lad?" said Klerk.
"My pendent."
"What pendent, you dork?"
"The one I was holding when I made the wish and the blue light came?" said the frantic TT.
"Bel, you got another flashlight in that pack of yours?" asked Klerk as he went over to Bel's pack. Bel gave the affirmative as he screwed off the red lens. Klerk did the same with the other one and all four looked over the underbrush in the glade. After 30 minutes of searching, TT just stopped and started to cry. He didn't bring the pendent thru the light bridge. They were stranded on Gaea and it was all his fault.
How's that? Next chapter is about how Jae can lead three gunbunnies around without causing undo damage to the enviroment. Gaea will never be the same.
It got cleaned up. So enjoy
