itp: Rogue Cheese

[runstowardsfire]

[You might be outside today when you hear a THUNK, a metallic CLANK and the noise of things falling over. It is followed by someone yelling, "Horace--you terrible cheese!"

And there appears to be a wheel of cheese covered in black wax rolling your way. It looks like it is gaining speed.]

[OOC: Horace is on the loose. Dodge, ignore, trip over,

[what what what is this? jumping aside??]

-Erk!

[runstowardsfire]

*a cheese--who is running around your ankles in an attempt to hide from the person chasing him*

[stillyouridol]

[dancing around while this happens, trying to quickly step away.]

[runstowardsfire]

*still close to your ankles as one witch on a broomstick pops up*

Horace! Stop bothering people!

[stillyouridol]

[Whoops, man down]

[runstowardsfire]

*Horace rolls off to find a barn to hide behind*

. . . Are you all right? *lands the broom and offers you a hand*

[stillyouridol]

What was that? Is this a Camp thing? ...Will I be turned into a cat?

[runstowardsfire]

. . . No, it's just Horace. He's a cheese.

You're not injured, right?

[Brushing dirt off his trousers]

--Cheese?

[runstowardsfire]

Cheese--a Lancre blue-vein to be exact.

[You look all right at least . . .]

[Just my poor pride at having been taken down by a dairy product]

What is with food in this place?!? Are you responsible for it?

[runstowardsfire]

It happened when I was twelve and it was an accident . . . Horace is mostly harmless.

[stillyouridol]

You're still responsible for accidents! You need to keep your ch... eese... under... control. I hate that this place has made it necessary for me to say something like that.

[runstowardsfire]

[Yes, being responsible for the weirdos in my life is pretty common too.]

Yes, you are quite right. This will mean that you must file a complaint every time you trip over someone's cat, dog or pet rock as well.

[stillyouridol]

I didn't trip, it knocked me over!

[No, it really didn't.]

...Who has a pet rock?

[runstowardsfire]

[Might have noticed that . . .]

I'm not sure how many people keep strange pets, but I believe someone treats Marcy as a pet. Pet rocks are tame around here.
