"We're supposed to bring you back to court."

Permalink

"Is someone gonna kick you if you don't?"

Permalink

"No, that's not one of the preferred methods of discipline when it's not an emergency because it's hard to be consistent about how much damage you're doing."

Permalink

"Your culture is fascinating. I think that given certain assumptions about the consistency of information density across languages and the number of characters in this circle? Your best bet at fulfilling your instructions is to go get someone who is any good at explaining anything."

He can't actually follow that but it's not a lie. He sends one of the other people bounding off into the forest.

Permalink

"Anyway, I'm Cam, who're -"

Permalink

This prompts the remaining people to materialize sticks and attempt to club him with them while trying to drag him into the cage. 

For some reason.

Permalink

"Ow - hey - what the hell -" Being hit with sticks hurts, if not very much, and a bunch of people wrestling him is enough to make line of sight complicated.

Permalink

They start also attempting to gag him.

Permalink

"You know you mrf could have just traditionally done mgrrh!" he says.

- okay. What's the deal with this circle. Interpolation's a no. Fire's a no...

Permalink

He cannot interpolate the cage either. He starts trying exotic physics experiments irritably.

Permalink

They pick up the cage and start carrying it. They get smaller.

Permalink

Cam decides to stop short of trying drugging anybody just yet, since he's not sure how he'd get out of the cage if they all fell unconscious.

Permalink

In that case they'll make it uneventfully to - a rabbit hole. 

Inside the rabbit hole there's a city carved out, with bright lights, and music, and it doesn't smell that much either like dirt or like rabbits.

There are a lot of faeries. They peer at him curiously. Then they lever the chain up in the air so it floats and everyone can see him better.

Then they have a lengthy debate about what to do about him. The bell is thrown around and yelled about a lot.

Permalink

Yelled about how?

Permalink

Some people think the bell is really exciting and his eccentricities should be tolerated in order to get more things like it. Some people think the bell is very nice and all but he's clearly a menace to society and not worth the effort. Some people think the bell means that he will be worth more when they trade him to somewhere very far away. Some people think that they should give him as a present to their worst enemies and stand back and watch the fireworks.

Well, this is at least more interesting than his original plans for the day.

Can he make a violin?

Permalink

He will play, softly, keeping an ear on the conversation trying to figure out what's up.

Permalink

The violin is immediately the central topic of conversation. 

He's clearly too valuable to give up. He's clearly too dangerous not to. He's clearly trying to ENTRAP THEM WITH HIS EVIL VIOLIN PLAYING STOP HIM AT ONCE

The chain is lowered and people attempt to smash the violin through the bars, with spears.

Permalink

It's not an especially durable violin. "Mmmf mngh mg mff mgh mvvvf mn." He starts picking at the gag with his hands once he is no longer holding a violin.

Permalink

Well then they will have to open the cage and attempt to chain him up such that he can't do that!

Permalink

Can they possibly be wearing their own - not chains, ropes? He will stick to ropes.

Permalink

Doesn't work. They chain his hands to the walls of the cage and close the cage again.
