*Bob, having been blessed by the soothing scents of lavender, finds himself sneezing repeatedly at the powder now covering his irregularly shaped rotting corpse of a body. Unfortunately this continual disturbance of head jerks causes his already unsteady gait to become even more disorderly, now zigzagging and bounding aimlessly along the winding road like a deranged psychotic chimpanzee with turrets syndrome...lumbering around on stilts*
[Boo] "Who woulda thought zombie's have allergies?"
[Bones] "Should have asked first I suppose. Bob, hang in there. We will find you a bathing spot soon enough"
[Liz'rd] "sssupossee the poissson rotted flesssh could have on drinkin water if'n he sssat in a sssstream.."
[Bones] "Right. A pond will do just fine"
*A soft whisper of wind seems to be travelling just beyond the next bend of the road, behind the gnarled and twisted patch of trees obstructing their view of the path ahead. The drifting breeze seems to be drawing nearer and gaining in strength, approaching the party fast. Then a shrill vibration of sound joins in and accompanies this force of wind, the noise growing louder and more clear. Ahh, the sharp piercing sound that could only originate from a cackling witch. Bones stops in his tracks, and draws a sword. Liz'rd and Boo stop as well, awaiting the arrival of this evil entity.*
*The sounds of the wicked creature's laugh sent chills down their spines* "aaahaaahaaa..."
*Meanwhile.. Bob, being the brainless beast he was, or perhaps due to his lack of good hearing (no doubt caused by inflamed sinuses and clogged ears), found himself staggering on ahead of the group, disappearing clumsily around the bend. The group looked to each other fecklessly before hearing the scream and crash that came next. Flying bits of Bob and brooms and black hats and green warty women scatter wildly across the road and surrounding forest, landing very roughly in all manners of twisted and contorted postures.*
*The three witnesses stare for a moment blankly at the scene of the accident, perplexed. Bones shrugs a second later and walks forward along with the others toward the messy point of impact to assess the damage.*
*Upon inspection it appears Bob lost his remaining arm. Boo and Liz'rd scour the forest for it, while Bones lifts Bob back onto his still intact feet. They both look down at where they stand and find something that brings a smile to Bones-- no -- to Bob's face. (Bones would attempt one tho had he skin and lips to do so) Picking up the slightly damaged broom, Bones holds it up and inspects it*
[Bones] "Yes, I believe this will do. Good job, Bob. Your erm, unique talents come in handy at erm.. oddly opportune moments." *Bob smiles proudly*
*Something slung over a branch in a nearby tree begins to stir. It stops, then gasps, and staggers about again, trying to lift and orient itself upright on the branch it landed on following the recent crash. It coughs a few times then looks down and sees the group of creatures on the road below. It shouts down in a broken high pitch voice*
[witch] "Who are you!? Whats the meaning of--"
[Bones] "Ahh, sorry about that bit of misfortune, ma'am. Bob here's got a way of stumbling into things" *Bones gestures towards the armless zombie* "I'm Bones, a reformed demon from Yserbius volcano. And these other two are Liz'rd and Boo. Who might I ask is it I'm speaking to?"
[witch] "Hahaha..*cough*cough* arrg.. reformed demons, how ridiculous! Ahaha*cough*"
[Bones] "Take it easy there, sounds like you've been hurt. We are indeed reformed, walking the path of righteousness, miss.." *he tilts head and turns hand waiting for her to finish*
[witch] "Elph..*cough* cough* El.. *hack*"
[Boo] "Hah, an elf. Imagine an elf with nasty green skin and no points on its ears!"
[Liz'rd] "And jussst whatssss wrong with green sskin?"
[Boo] "Oh, well, on you of course Liz'rd its perfectly natural. Why, I'd say dazzling, even! But on a.."
[Elph..] "Fools! Its elphha*cough*cough*"
[Bones] "We'll.. erm, call you Elphy for now if you don't mind. Here, let me help you down from there"
*Bones reaches a skeletal arm up to offer assistance to the witch. She begins to reach for it then withdraws her hand*
[Elphy] "Wait!! Are you.. *cough*cough*.. are you friends of Dorothy?"
*Bones looks at the others surprised, then back at the witch. He quickly backs off shaking his head and lifts his hands up in front of him*
[Bones] "Whoaa.. hold up there. These are nothing more than travelling companions! What you suggest is sickening, to say the least!!"
*Elphy, obviously not keen to the 'other' definition of the words she spoke, gladly takes his response to heart*
(http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&oi=defmore&q=define:Friend+Of+Dorothy)
[Elphy] "Good, good.."
[Boo] "Right, what Bones said.. straight as an arrow, here"
*Liz'rd elbows Boo (or tries to the best one can with a disembodied spirit)*
[Liz'rd] "hehehe, we cant sssay for ssssure about Bob though.. doessss walk a bit funny"
*Boo and Liz'rd begin chuckling, but stop promptly as a thick chunk of something fleshy hurls through the air towards them, passing right through Boo and thumping into Bones' skull. Bones, Liz'rd, and Boo turn to look in the direction the rotting bit of meat came from and see Bob hopping on one leg snickering to himself.*
*Elphy looks at the leg now laying by Bones' side and stares at it for a while. Something.. familiar.. about that leg.. those socks, the slippers. Yes, they were.. oh my, Nezza! Suddenly, her jaw drops and an expression of terror washes over her face as she realizes what that amputated limb came from*
[Elphy]: "Is that... did you.. holy @#$( you sick mother f@#$'s. What did *hack*hack*cough* what the @#($ did you do to my sister!?"
*Liz'rd looks at leg on ground, and points to Bob, still hopping about on the other leg. Bones looks at the leg.*
[Bones] "Oh, right. Thaaat. Well, see, she wasn't quite in need of these anymore. And Bob here, well he.."
[Elphy] "Silence! I've heard enough. You will die for this!!"
*the witch raises her hands and begins some type of incantation, her hacking and coughing unfortunately interrupting the completion of the spell a number of times*
[Bones] "Uh lets get going guys"
*The 4 scramble to get moving. Bones picks up the broom again looking back to Elphy*
[Bones] "Mind if we borrow this?" *a bolt of lightning shoots his way, just barely grazing his skull* "Right, I'll erm, return it when I'm done then!"
*Bones and Boo take off around the corner. Liz'rd grabs Bob by his last remaining limb and drags the zombie quickly boundingly along, the lot of them all dodging spells and the like the best they could.*
