Dagmar is not sure what happened. She remembered going out with Nadeen... Connor was with the kids.
earldebuke 9:05pm
So why are she and her squire together standing in front of three golden lightning bolts..err lightning bolts made of gold?
catnik 9:06pm
She picks one up, kenning it.
earldebuke 9:07pm
POWER!
earldebuke 9:07pm
It's got the same glamour as he dad's skycraft!
earldebuke 9:08pm
A bit like a javelin.. no a LOT like a javelin.
catnik 9:09pm
"Are these... treasures?"
earldebuke 9:11pm
One shot throws.. but yes.
catnik 9:12pm
"Hunh."
earldebuke 9:13pm
There is a scroll nearby. Some sort of chermical vellum
catnik 9:22pm
Brow.
catnik 9:22pm
Read!
rae 9:22pm
He blinks. He could have sworn he was spending Samhain curled up in his Spot in the closet. But here he is....
earldebuke 9:25pm
To Hammerstrike and Thunderhowll! We Cyclops owe you a debt we can never repay! you have risked the wrath of Zeus and Hephestus in order to smuggle us to our freedom, few would dare! We hope you can avoid their vengeance. Here are 3 lightning bolts, not as powerful as Zeus' of course, and you'll find your prizes behind the old oak. Hope we got the designs right
earldebuke 9:25pm
and there's a symbol of a Single eye, with a broken chain under it
catnik 9:26pm
"Okay...." Blink.
rae 9:26pm
“Eye eye?”
catnik 9:26pm
"Kiddo, do you remember anything?"
rae 9:26pm
He thinks. And thinks...
earldebuke 9:30pm
Connor recalls a few things... Pookydeous , the Cyclops boy! And how they had to get him and his family to.. they laid a false trail... and there were cyclops ostumes? they had to cover one eye... is that right?
rae 9:31pm
“Yes.” He says, and his tail wags. “We made friends!” He covers up an eye with a hand, and grins.
catnik 9:32pm
"Huh."
catnik 9:32pm
"Now what's this about... prizes?" She checks the tree.
rae 9:33pm
Connor reaches out to touch one of the lightning bolts, curiously.
earldebuke 9:33pm
It makes his fur stand on end
rae 9:33pm
“Tingly!”
earldebuke 9:35pm
Dagmar finds ..well..
earldebuke 9:35pm
earldebuke 9:39pm
And yes, there's a sidecar
catnik 9:40pm
...blink...
earldebuke 9:40pm
The odd thing, she doesn't recognize it as a ..well, no make or model.. it's like someone made it without a factory ..
earldebuke 9:40pm
then again, Cyclopses forge right?
rae 9:40pm
“Hooooolee SNACKS.” Connor swears softly by her side.
catnik 9:40pm
.............blink..
earldebuke 9:41pm
There are keys.
rae 9:41pm
He looks up at Dagmar, then back, up, back, and then circles around looking at the thing!
earldebuke 9:41pm
no title.
earldebuke 9:41pm
but then, no VIN number
rae 9:41pm
License plate? Bumper stickers?
earldebuke 9:42pm
Nope. Looks like some mortal forethought was lacking.
rae 9:43pm
“Someone forgot their THING.”
catnik 9:45pm
"I think it's for us?"
rae 9:45pm
Carefully reaching out to run a finger along the chrome. Wide eyed. “No WAY.”
catnik 9:46pm
Dagmar straddles the bike, not quite sitting... sort of feeling it out.
earldebuke 9:46pm
The key chain does have a lghtning bolt and eyeball symbol on it
rae 9:46pm
Connor digs into the sidecar, looking for those silly round hardhats that riders wear.
earldebuke 9:46pm
And there are helmets!
rae 9:46pm
“Oh. Oh no. Dagmar?”
earldebuke 9:47pm
They are motorcycle helmets but look greek
earldebuke 9:47pm
and one fits Connor's head
