Mafia 25: A Perilous Journey

Once upon a time there was a king. Very normal--cape, castle, crown, etc.--except that he accidentally fell in love with a penguin....
 
While everyone is listening to Glen's story, would they try to watch where they are going? I don't mind having my waterskin slashed, so much as I do having my coffee cup knocked over... :(
 
I think this is the most talkative Mafia game there's been since I started playing.

*Leans forward eagerly* What happens next?!
 
This has been an awfully talkative thread, and I've really enjoyed reading it. :D I'm glad that you guys like the setting.

However, I've only gotten one PM so far... You guys need to hurry up and do your jobs before day dawns! :eek:

The kingdom's Lawes of Olde Tyme state, "Under no circumstances shal the monarche be wedd unto a penquin." This disturbed the king greatly, so he called a meeting of all the nobles in the kingdom, explained the situation, and bawled his eyes out.

The nobles said, "For thou we would make exception, and of good will, O King, if thy penguin be well dressed and hath intelligence of mind."

Overjoyed, the king rode to the igloo of his true love and proclaimed to her the wonderful news. "Come," he said, "array thyself in finest linen and mount with me, and I shall shew thee unto the council and lawfully make thee my bride."

The penguin said, "Quack." And she dressed in her loveliest robes and mounted behind him....
 
One misses so much when one work 10 hour shifts, I feel like I am a day late. The dollar short thing does not apply tonight though because today was a good day at work. Too bad tonight means that I am going to be hunted all night. It will be like a repeat of last night only last night I was having my bedroom door charged by Gibbs and Tobey in turn. They got nuetered this morning and were rather upset last night that we would not let them have food and water after midnight.
 
I'm the one who brought her cats with her.:rolleyes: However this time they are non-talking.... for now.;)

Ribbony: Meow?

And just because we all seem to have books: I'm reading the Archives of Anthropos: The Iron Sceptre by John White, in case anybody wondered.

*Now has Stellar Kart song stuck in her head*
 
It is only the truth. Now they are groggy and lying around especially if the place is a place they are not allowed to be like on the ironing board or in bedrooms.
 
*huddles with Mewsie's cats*

*yawns as Glen stares into the distance pretending to remembering the tragic story of the kind and the penguin*

*pokes at fire*

When all else fails in keeping one awake, poke something. (Especially roommates. :D)

So the penguin wore her finest robes and mounted up behind the king. He spurred his steed to a gallop. This proved to be a problem, however, as penguins have no legs. The king's penguin love lost her balance, fell off the horse, and broke her neck. The king threw himself to the ground and wept. "How could I shew such little care for one who was the light of my life?" He continued to cry for forty days and forty nights. Soon the waters covered the earth; even the mountains were covered. And Noah, who was the only one of his counsellors who knew how to brush his teeth, floated in an ark of gopher wood on top of the waters. Then a wind blew over the face of the earth, and the ark came to rest on the top of Mount Arafat. This was a major error, as Noah had wanted to land in Armenia, not Arabia. Then....
 
Perhaps I, as the all-powerful narrator, am not supposed to intrude on your festivities, but I must say, this stands out as one of the most interesting love stories I have heard in a long while!

I cannot wait to hear the rest!

Then Noah walked upon the earth, and he came unto a mound of cottage cheese. And Noah liked cottage cheese, so he began eating it. Eventually he discovered something like hair. He ate a little more cottage cheese (his stomach was bulging unfortunately) and discovered, lo, it was the king! But the king was as dead as his penguin lover, who also lay buried in the mound of cottage cheese.

Noah determined that the flood could not have been the cause of the king's death, because all flood insurance agencies recommend that, in the event that you cannot escape a flood, you should immediately bury yourself in cottage cheese in order to prolong respiration, avoid asphyxiation, and improve skin clarity. Therefore, the king had died of love, and the penguin had died of her fall off the king's steed (which had long since galloped away). So there was only one way to (possibly) save the king and his bride-to-be. The Purple Hermit of Tibet was the only person who knew how to revive the dead; and because he also understood the virtues of cottage cheese, it was likely that he had survived the flood.

Noah went back to the ark, picked two horses, and attached a travois to the back of each. He then led the horses to where he had found the king and his dearly beloved penguin. Tying each to a travois, he set out for Tibet. This journey took many years, with Noah being on foot, but cottage cheese also has a mummifying effect, so the bodies of the king and the penguin were preserved. Finally, shining in the distance, they saw....
