#225: Untold Interactive Tales of the Lair Legion: Dangerous Paths


“Yo is sorry,” the pure thought being apologised to Mad Wendy, “but is not right to be keeping all of those people in dreaming states. Is not fair with free willing and things. Yo knows you are to be trying to help, but Yo is needing you to be letting these people to go now, pleasing.”

“It’s cool that you helped them,” CrazySugarFreakBoy! agreed. “You probably saved their lives. But you can’t keep them here forever.”

“Why not?” demanded Mad Wendy. “They’re happy here.”

“It’s about free choice,” Hatman argued. “They’re dreaming here, not consenting with their minds clear.”

“It’s un-American, okay,” declared Trickshot. “We all got the right ta screw up our own lives.”

“They’re my friends,” Mad Wendy pointed out. “I made a special new world for them. The old one was all broken.”

“And Yo is thinking you are to be making a very nice job of it. Yo specially likes the bunnies and the orchids. But Yo is to be saying it is time for the cute-peoples to be waking up and going home now.

“No!” shouted Mad Wendy

“I believe my mortal comrades require you to cease now,” The Manga Shoggoth warned the girl.

Mad Wendy shrugged and crackling rainbow sprays scattered the Legion across the cave behind the waterfall. “You’re all meanies!” she spat angrily. “You don’t belong here!”

CSFB! was the only one who avoided the rainbow streaks and he bounded in to grab the psionic; but he was swatted from behind and sent bouncing like a broken puppet to lie still, face down in the pool.

“Bad men try to hurt Yurt’s friend!” thundered the monster with the proportionate strength and skill of a Russian peasant hut. “Now Yurt will smash you all!”
