Arrival at Castle Anthrax

[Skarkill]

*Skarkill notices Grippa and Rhark sneaking up behind zzt, so he walks towards him backing him right in to there clutches. The two Goblins grab zzt by the wrists causing him to drop the axe. Skarkill looms in zzt's face*

"Now then. You have the guts to thretern me with my own Axe dose yer? Well lets see if you have the guts for this."

*Skarkill tumps zzt in the stomace.*

[FrightKnight]

*FrightKnight emerges from his shed next door to travel to castle Anthrax and half a mile away from Castle Duckula*)

*FrightKnight shouts at window, which may or may not have Skarkill there*
Hello all! Come to borrow a cup of sugar, hope you don't mind. Was going to see Igor at the other place but with that vegetarian over there sugar is not usually something they have.

Woah, Lord Fear! Is this the one, the only Lord Fear? In person? Haven't seen you in ages. The reason I haven't been around for the past while is, well....I fell off a causeway, alright? I was intoxicated, I stod on an odd number that looked like a 4, and whoosh! Down I went.

So how's by you?

[zzt]

*zzt grunts and coughs as he gets hit in the stomach.*

"Urgh! Okay, I suppose you get a point there... looks like we're even now, eh?"

*zzt grins, and is promptly decked in the gut again.*

"Guh! Okay, okay, I suppose I'm not in any position to try and be funny..."

*zzt shakes his head a bit.*

"Erk... Well, I might as well see whoever's in charge here, so... would you mind taking me to your boss?"

[SemtexJack]

Now Now Now Hang on a minute there Bubba.

This is my castle. MY CASTLE! You don't come visiting Lord Fear here.

As for the sugar. Gripps, there's some in the kitchen. Let that poor thing go and get some for our new guest.

Skarkill, Let zzt go, give him a 10 second head start and then send Rhark after him. Should keep him busy.

Nibbler you useless overgrown lizard. Wake up and get back to the basement.

I think I'm developing another headache. I need a nice Radox bath.

[Skarkill]

*Skarkill smiles, and punches zzt in the stomac again this time following it up with an upper cut to the jaw.*

"Right this way mate."

*Skarkill grabs zzt by the coller and drags him into the bisco room.*

"Here you is your Lordship. I caught or un invited visitor."

*hurls zzt on to the floor in frount of the dancing Semtex Jack.*

[SemtexJack]

Staying Alive....Stayi......Ah Skarkill. I was just....errrr.....you saw nothing okay?

Now, out new guest. You saw how fast he could run. Do you think he would be a useful addition to our little group?

[zzt]

*zzt looks up at Jack, after landing on his frontside. He blinks, and takes a good look about the room.*

"Huh... disco isn't dead after all."

*zzt blinks, and slowly gets to his feet.*

"Oh boy. I hope I don't get my butt handed to me on a silver platter..."

[SemtexJack]

Don't worrky about that zzt. We only use the silver for invited guests or some merit.

You may however get your butt handed to you on a wooden plate.

[zzt]

"Ouch... I don't suppose the splinters from that plate would help, either."

*zzt pauses.*

"Er... What exactly -do- you have planned for me?"

[SemtexJack]

Well, you have a choice really. You can either join me here in Castle Anthrax and help me to overthrow Lord Fear and take control of this entire Dungeon.....
..
..
...
...or...

I can hand you over to Skarkill now and he will be allowed to do to you whatever his filthy little mind comes up with!

So.....any questions?

[zzt]

"Well, that's not much of a choice, is it?"

*zzt chuckles a bit*

"Eh, what the hell, I'll join you. It's not like I really have anywhere else to go, anyway..."

[SemtexJack]

Excellent. I knew you could be persuaded. Sorry Skarkill, you don't get to play with this one tonight.

So, Please zzt. Sit. Help yourself to the Brandy. Now, what exactly do you think you'll be able to bring to my campaign of terror?

[zzt]

"Well, as you may have already seen, I can run quite fast... "

*to demonstrate, ZZT circles the room 15 times in a matter of 5 seconds. He continues speaking while he is runnng.*

"And, I can do, this!"

*zzt runs towards a wall. When he reaches the wall, instead of turning or slamming into it, he manages to run UP the wall, somehow defying the law of gravity. To continue his gravity-defying feat, he manages to run all the way up to the ceiling... and then he starts running on the ceiling all the way across to the opposite wall, which he starts running down as soon as he reaches it. But instead of running to the ground, he springs off the wall and somersaults to the ground, landing on his feet.*

"And all that without the use of magic. Wall-running 's a bit more difficult to do when I'm burdened, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

*zzt pauses.*

"If you wish to give me a weapon, make it a two-handed hammer... it's the weapon I'm most skilled with."

[SemtexJack]

Hmmmm. I really can't think of a situation where that would be useful.

As for the weapon......Hmmm.....we don't have any hammer users on our team.

Okay, If you can answer me the following questions then you shall be accepted.

1) What.....is your name?
2) What.....is your favourite colour?
3) What.....is your favourite song?
4) Who.....was the first ever person to play James Bond?
5) What is the air speed velocity of an uladen swallow?

[zzt]

1) I go by 'zzt', but 'Z' works as well
2) Blue.
3) I'll listen to most music, but I can't really pick out any song in particular to call my favorite
4) Sean Connery.
5) If you meant 'unladen', would that be an African swallow or a European swallow?
