K: woah, where are we?
A: i dont think this is New Albion
K: Its a small town. Maybe its early New Albion?
A: no, look at that sign. It says Dusty Falls
K: oh, thats some town way to the west, on the way to the mountains
A: when are we?
K: look at that old car. It looks like around the time of the war
R: there’s an outdoor market over there
K: lets go take a look
Pendant:
Come to me, hear my song
A: that pendant sure is determined
Scream
A: There we go
K: All right, lets get to the bottom of this
Choir:
Theres murder at the market, theres termites in the wood
Shenanigans have jumped right in and it aint lookin good
Theres hanky in the panky, there’s lowlifes here at hand
We’ll hang em before sunset if we can
K: And of course its you three. Can i get your names?
S: I’m solandra!
T: I’m Telna
S&T: and we’re super best friends!
S: i love you, girl
T: no girl, i love you
A: you’ve got to be kidding me
T: thats right. Solidarity sister
S: sisters before misters
K: your forever friendship warms my rodent heart. Ok, Telna, can you please tell me whats going on here
Telna:
Two strangers came to market from new albion we thought
They dressed all weird and had this strange ol pedant so we got
Up to talkin to them, their heading further west to get
Some message to the monastery i think they said
Telna Spoken: Someone named larry needed help
S: Lucas?
T: Louie?
S: no, someone named lloyd
T: oh yeah, some guy named lloyd needs help. Anyway
That pendant was real pretty and so telna and me
Decided we should offer them stranger special tea
A seceret ingredient we had to get from home
So solandra said now telna you should go
K: this secret ingredient wouldnt be poison would it
T: What? How could you?What a terrible thing to say
S: Heavens gracious! i am shocked and offended you would suggest such a thing
I ran home to get it, but when i got back here instead
The strangers they call voodoopunk were both laying here dead
The very pretty pendant is gone i have no clue
What happened there was nothing i could do
K: Abi, check her pockets
T: how dare you, you take your hands off me this instant!
A: well lookie here. Weasel root. A tasteless poison
T: but i wasnt here. They died while i was getting it
K: ok solandra. I cannot wait to hear your version of events
Solandra:
Telna hurried home so we could give our guests a treat
That pendant sure was beautiful but alas it sure beats me
What happened they just dropped dead, they didnt last real long
And now that pretty pendant is just gone
But how i heard it singing, it was calling out to me
It hypnotized, it captivized, like it was witching me
But how i wonder where its gone, im sure i dont recall
A shame about them strangers dead and all
T: but how could the pendant just disappear. You’d never take it without telling me, would you? I mean, we agreed...
S: ssh, quiet
K: why did the voodoopunks have the pendant in the first place
A: probably to drop off at the monastery in the mountains
K: All right, Elliot, get over here
E: uh, my name is Elias
K: whatever. Why dont you explain to us how much of a simp you are
Elias
My name’s Elias Marsh, i sell elixers for your health
If you’re feeling run down, you’re in luck, i have just the thing to help
Its true i date solandra she might be the love of my life
I sure do hope to someday make her my wife
Solandra she sent Talna home to get the poi... i mean, the you know, seceret thing
But it turned out she already had some in the purse she’s carrying
She made some tea and told me that i should give it to the guests
But they got real sick and well, you know the rest
Choir:
Theres murder at the market, theres termites in the wood
Shenanigans have jumped right in and it aint lookin good
Theres hanky in the panky, there’s lowlifes here at hand
We’ll hang em before sunset if we can
S: So he admits to serving them the tea!
T: wait, you already had the stuff in your purse?
R: where is my tribes’ pendant?
P: come to me, hear my song
S: it just disappeared. Oh, i think Elias took it
E: sugardumpling! How you say such a thing?
T: you lying bitch! You took the pendant! But we agreed to share it! You promised!
S: i know you slept with Elias!
T: one time! We were drunk!
E: Four actually. I made little notched on my headboard to commemorate
S: you slut!
T: you lying whore!
A: spell from hell time!
Crash
K: wow, thats a good spell.
A: theres really nothing to it, but it shuts them up.
K: you should use that as your catchphrase
A: what, spell from hell time?
K: yeah, thats not bad
A: but how often would i get to use it?
K: like, Once an episode
A: hmm, its a thought
K: ok. Is everyone still here? Ryvyr, what are doing?
R: Nothing... just looking for my pendant
K: just hang on. I believe i have the solution to this idiocy. If you’re all ready, i’ll explain it.

This is a great adaptation of Arthuriana and a brilliant narrative album. I love how the queerness of the characters is handled as an integral part of the narrative and plot development without it being the end all be all of the characters themselves. my boy Gawain deserved better though maritarvaniti
