"Get out there and dazzle them with your wit!We’ll take care of Mith. We’re used to this. He’s forever fainting away in all our adventures." Pio turned back to Mithadan, leaving Aman staring after her, Child and Beth as they dragged Mithadan away.
"'Get out there and dazzle them with your wit!' Says she..." Aman muttered under her breath, preparing to go out. "What, is that meant to be funny or something?" The woman muttered to herself for a few more moments, before pasting a smile onto her face, straightening her dress and stepping out onto the stage.
"Sorry about that, ladies and gentlemen." She said smoothly, attemting to keep the panic out of her voice, and a little unsure of how to go on.
"Where's Mithadan?" An irritated voice came from the audience. Aman glared at the speaker, before another came.
"Yeah, where is he?"
"Whats going on?"
"Why are the woman, the elf and the hobbit trying to kill him?"
Oh, you tell me... Aman thought darkly, before breathing deeply. "He is...a little busy at the moment. I'm sure he will come around any minute now. Anyway," She went on swiftly, dazzling the audience with another plastic smile. "Onto the next award...
"This Downie is presented to a member and a certain character of his who didn’t let anything stop them when chasing “those rotten rats” when they attacked Bree a wee while ago. This award may not be the one he has certainly been anticipating, but he deserves every bit of it, for never fully letting a certain Carchmoroth and her wolf pack off the hook totally, and for doing more than his fair share of “skull splitting”…
"This Downie is ‘The Patience is a Virtue’ award, and with it comes a memorial wolf skin hat with authentic Bree Wolf trophy tail, and is for allowing the Warg Pack time to regroup before harassing them again! And it is presented to...Helkahothion!" The audience burst out cheering and clapping, and Aman whispered into the mike, "Cue Hound Dog."
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' round my door
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' round my door
You can wag your tail
But I ain't gonna feed you no more
You told me you was high class
I could see through that
You told me you was high class
I could see through that
And baby I know
You ain't no real cool cat
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' round my door
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' round my door
You can wag your tail
But I ain't gonna feed you no more
You made me feel so blue
You made me weep and moan
You made me feel so blue
You made me weep and moan
'Cause I'm looking for a woman
All your lookin' for is a home
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' round my door
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' round my door
You can wag your tail
But I ain't gonna feed you no more
As Helka was making his speech, Aman started to edge away off stage, and arrived backstage just in time to here these words...
"We’ve got the rest of the award show to get through, then we’re out of here. Aman, Aylwen, and Squatter can run the RPG forums for a while. We can PM them if need be."
WHAT?! Aman stormed down the corridor, and knocked at the door. There was a moments silence, followed by a frantic whispered conversation, then silence again...followed by the sound of a piece of heavy furniture being dragged against the door. Aman gasped, banging on the door again, then throwing herself against it- what was going on in there?!
