Neb was out in the garden, boredly frying ants with his magnifying glass when he heard a noise that he hadn't heard in a long time, a noise that he was happy was back once more...... The sound of a gardener and his lawnmower.

Lioness, happily fiddling with her LotR figurines, perks up as she heaqrs a strange sound from the garden...it..it couldn't be??? A...lawnmower! :D Grinning, she catapulted down the stairs and outside to find Nebly.

<font color=Orange>Pardon me, Sir.....I'd like to know where the front desk is!</font>

Deiter parks the lawnmower in the garage. He sees Neb and Lioness and is glad to see them. Sure, they duct taped him up and other weird stuff, but it was fun. But you'll never hear him admit that. :D He grabs his weed wacker and attacks the weed growing on the side of the house. ;)

Neb smiles cheerfully at the sight of the newly mowed lawn. Then he sows extra grass and weeds in it and adds some super-fertilizer. The place should be back to it's normal jungle-like state in a couple of hours. The boy then sees Sir Goulum looking for the front desk, "Heya dude, looking for a job? Or to be adopted?"

Deiter looks over to yard to see that huge weeds are everywhere. "What the???" Then he sees Neb walk away grinning. "Those little...*grumbles* "Ya'll asked for this!" Deiter runs to garage and hops onto the lawnmower/tank and starts to mow. He pushes a button on his lawnmower/tank and a force field surrounds the yard. The gardner grins foolishly as he mows. :D

<font color=Orange>"I'd love to be adopted if possible, sir! What do I hafta do?"</font>

*wandering thru the front gardens, she comes to the side of the house*

"Hello? I'd like to know where the front desk is, to apply for a job"
"Oh, and btw, do you have any oak trees?" :D

[ 07-12-2002, 01:37 PM: Message edited by: TAOWolf ]

Deiter stops his mowing and looks at TAOwolf suspiciously."The front desk is through that door." He points over at the front door of the house. "Why oak trees?" He gives her another suspicious look.

<font color=skyblue>She flashes her silver eyes at Deiter charmingly, and smiles.......

"I am a Druidess, and as you can see by my sig, I am the offical dancing Druid........do you have need for some ritual dancing to help the gardens grow??" :D </font>

<font color=Orange>*Waits patiently for some help at the front desk*
*See's a druid walk up behind me*
"Oh why hello ma'am!! Whats your name?"</font>

"As long as the yard doesn't turn into the Amazon." :D Done mowing the yard and puting the mower back into the garage; Deiter grabs a shovel and tries to kill the man eating plants Neb planted awhile back. ;)

;) Thanks, Deiter......

Turns and smiles at Sir G...

"My name is Kaylisa TAOWolf, and you are?"

Turns in resume for the job of ritual dancing for the plants and gardens........(and helping Deiter) :D

The killer plants ate his shovel. :D "Holy dirt clods!" Deiter goes back to the garage to get his leafblower/grenade launcher. ;) "This should teach 'em!" Everyone sees the gardener shoot grenades at the plants.... Only to have them chucked back at him! ;) Explosives are going off everywhere. :D

[ 07-12-2002, 02:40 PM: Message edited by: Deiter Leafblade ]

Ducks to the ground, and throws a rowan carved rune at the plants, which promptly eat it...........she crawls over to Dieter amidst the explosions laughing........

the plants turn decidedly more green, and look like they are ready to hurl....... :D

*dodges explosives*

Leeeeeeeaaaaaaafy! Where aaaaaarrrreeee you? [img]smile.gif[/img]

*lioness hunts around the house, waving blueprints*

Leafy! I'm putting an addition onto my baseball stadium, I'm afraid it will be over your current garden...oops, sorry, no other place for it. [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/angelwings.gif[/img] Just to let you know, the bulldozers should be here any minute now... [img]smile.gif[/img]

He looks over at the laughing Kaylisa. "I was...well...erm..." :D Shakeing his head he starts to clean up the bomb shells. ;) Thats when he sees Lioness running towards him with blueprints. "BULLDOZERS?! Not in MY garden" :D

[ 07-12-2002, 02:51 PM: Message edited by: Deiter Leafblade ]

Neb hands Deiter a potted plant, "Sorry about your garden being removed, you can care for this now." The boy runs away with an evil grin, not having told the gardener that the plant becomes a horrible flesh-eating plant when it's a full moon.

"Sir G, you don't have to do anything, just sign this contract. And don't bother reading the fine print, it just says that you have to be my slave forever. Welcome to the household, Tao!"

Thanks Nebbers!!! :D

"Uh......Deiter?" She points to the plant Nebbers handed him..

"you might wanna throw that!!"

Spies an Oak Tree in the middle of the yard....

"Lioness!!!! This tree STAYS!! PLEASE!!" :D :D

Deiter drops the plant off in Nebs room. ;) Quickly putting metal poles around the garden he presses a button on the lawnmower. A force field roars to life surrounding the garden in a protective green light. "Lets see those bulldozers come now!." :D

Neb brings his unfolding bulldozer from his room, the plant has yet to awaken so he escapes safely with it, then he drags it into the garden and unfolds it. "Oh Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiteeeeer! Lookie! A bulldozer!" [img]graemlins/firedevil.gif[/img] Then the boy proceeds to take a path straight through a patch of pretty blue flowers and head for a patch of perfect green grass.

SMiles at Deiter, and stands patting the Oak tree......
:D

Sets her wolves after Nebbers to drag him to her by the seat of his britches........ [img]graemlins/whipitgood.gif[/img] "Here Neb Neb NEb"

Throws a rune at the plant and it becomes a TonkaToy bulldozer [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

"GAH! Not the grass AND flowers!" Deiter grabs a bucket full of fertilizer. [img]graemlins/firedevil.gif[/img] While Tao's wolf holds Neb, he pours the muck all over the pain in the arse. :D

[ 07-12-2002, 03:10 PM: Message edited by: Deiter Leafblade ]

"Oh! You two are SO going to pay for that! Mark my words, YOU WILL PAY!" Neb heads back to his room to sulk, feed his plant and think up new evil plans.

Deiter grins as he works on his OWN evil/while still keeping the garden alive plans. :D

Looks to the sky and grins evilly...... [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

"Yes, yes....there will be a FULL MOON tonight....."

Smiles at Deiter and helps him with the garden, while silently sending a wolf to watch Nebbers from the shadows.... :D

Tao and Deiter finally get the garden cleaned up from the 'Plant war' :D "It's quiet...too quiet." [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img] Deiter leaves Tao in charge of the garden while he goes to get the secret weapon. :D

<font color=Orange>"What is all that ruccus out there?"
*Peeks head outside and finds a warzone*
"Sweeeet!'
*Takes off suit and races out in an army outfit*
"Alrighty, whos in command here! Lemme join in!"</font>

While Deiter and Tao clean things up Neb has captured the Druid's wolf, killed it, skinned it, cooked it and eaten it. He's planted the flesh-eating plant as a trap just in front of the front door, and climbed out of the window of his room and down the side of the house. He now lurks in the shadows, waiting for a victim to get too close....

NEB HOW COULD YOU.............. [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img]

Stations her wolves in strategic places in the garden, and goes about mending the holes made from the explosives, and healing the flowers Nebbers stepped on..........all the while mourning for one of her precious wolves.......... silver tears fall from her face and where they land, small wolfsbane plants appear......... :(

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGGGGGHHH!!!"
*Wails around the corner freaking Neb half to death*
"Oh....sorry....this is a war zone and I decided to join in!"

"Stop screaming so loudly, TAO, I only knocked it out with a chair leg. The rest was an illusion. Wolves taste horrible, anyway. And Goulum, go make yourself useful, bug Deiter. Distract him while I set up some traps."

Neb begins setting snares everywhere, and readies some high-powered plantkiller to threaten the garden with should Deiter manage to get the advantage...

<font color=Orange>"Yes sir!"
*saluts Neb, and walks over to Deiter*
"I'm sorry, you are.....uh.....er......being sent to a.....um.....a special place!"</font>

Calls the wolf to her from outside Nebs room, and places her under the Oak Tree....... waits for Deiter..........

[img]graemlins/firedevil.gif[/img]

Takes her staff, setting it lightly upon the ground, and starts waving it back and forth, checking for Neb's traps...

*whips over to TAOWolf to distract her*
"What are you doing tonight, pretty girl?"

"Sorry man, no time to talk." Walks over to the garden to see Tao's wolves guarding the garden and that shes crying. "Neb! This is war!" :D Grabs the leafblower/grenade launcher and shoots at Neb. :D [img]graemlins/evillaughter1.gif[/img]

<font color=skyblue>"Aren't you a little young?" She raises an eyebrow, and pulls off a glove, touching Sir G with her bare hand.
"Too bad you didn't study your history, young one [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] "

he falls asleep (for one hour). She lays him in the middle of one of Nebber's traps, and tiptoes over to Dieter, handing him grenades for his launcher, and throwing a piece of tangle vine at Neb</font> :D

<font color=Orange>"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
Jumps infront of Neb and the grenade bounces off my super duper protective shield.
"Defeat us now, boy!"</font>

<font color=Orange>Hahah! I'm resistant to mind powers! Muhahahhahaha!</font>
