The Longest Thread (Misadventures)


Recommended Posts

Tocf's survey appeared.

What is your name?

My name is Arthur, King of the Britons.

What is your quest?

I seek the grail.

What is the airspeed and velocity of an unladen swallow?

Is that an African or European swallow?

Gosh, I don-

BOOM

"Inspector? I think that my survey was defective."

A new survey appeared before Tocf had finished speaking.

The brave adventurer sighs, scribbling down some gibberish.

The next question appeared. A second later, it was replaced by a new one.

Just now, Sequence said:

Sequence sighed. "What's the survey on? Our personal opinion on rocky road ice cream? Ooh, I hope that's what it is."

 

"That one's a few hundred questions in. You'll get there eventually."

This was an hour later, so the chronology of the thread decided to go back and see if anyone else wanted to say anything before the hour was up.

Actually, it wasn't. Tocf had finished in about five minutes and was looking very smug. This should be taken as the first indicator that something's up.

The second indication was that five minutes for Tocf had somehow been an hour for everybody else.

And thus chronology was restored.

The brave adventurer didn't wish to say anything else, so he stood up, taking the dome off his head. "Get what you wanted?"

"Yes!" said the inspector, pleased. "You are now free to go."

Just now, Sequence said:

Sequence quickly scribbled answers on the survey, which she made sure to put a great amount of thought into. She put down her pencil, grimacing. "I hate tests."

"Fear not: it will not be graded."

However, the restored chronology didn't explain all of the origami flowers that Tocf had made out of the scratch paper.

They awoke to see the void eyed man standing over them, sand dripping from his clothes.

"Darn," he said. "Not enough of a head start, looks like."

His sword condensed into his hand in a spray of blue, black, and silver. Behind him, in the quicksand pit, skeletal figures began to claw their way onto solid ground.
