*glances up* *pulls out dictionaries and thesauri and attempts to translate the post above* I think what Gandalf just said is that this is a thread for us to concoct fantasy-style schemes for rescuing Jay while we wait for God to do the real rescue. *scratches head* At least....I think that's what he said. Oh! I think he mentioned talking about it in the chat room too! But pretty please be sure to post any such chats here for us to see

Oh! And as fun as it might be, don't write such schemes in any letters to Jay or they might think we're planning a real jail-break and just writing in code.

*laughs at the last post *

I guess it will lift our spirits to be light-hearted about this now and then.

Um...We could recruit George the Dragon to smash down the walls.

I know, it made me laugh too.

*chuckles* Okay, that's funny.

I say we arm all of Seer's personalities with machetes and send them in dressed as ninjas.

*Faints with laughter* So an invasion of plants to free Jay?

The penguins are up to any scheme that may be planned. I say we pool the plans.

All of Jordan's personalities ride quickly growing plants in after George smashes the walls. The penguins will be distracting with balloon animals.

A portal. Come on guys, I'm sure you can fit that in there somehow...

The Abyss! Ha! *remembers* It appears it has swallowed Jay. I wonder if he remembers where the exit is...

You said the penguins jumped through portals to get between HF, SF and Fantasy, Shawn. I wonder if we can jump them across to Jay? The Holy Worlds Penguin Rescue.

All of them will get there through the Abyss!

Yes, yes, Elanor! Thank you, I needed that smile.

*slaps face in memory* The abyss! Of course! Hey! He gave me permission to use the time portal whenever I liked! *goes to find manual for time portal*

Ah! Post the pertinent snippets here for the penguins, please, Bushy?

*digs around in the abyss* I'm kinda lost down here. Maybe we should send out a penguin search party for a manual...

* sends the penguins down *

A few seconds pass.

Hey, Bushy, what does the manual look like?

Okay, that was a bit of awesome.

"Our leader is missing; what will we do without him?"
"Wait, he gave me something really important before he left."
Doesn't that happen in quest-type stories a lot?

I think so.

We could just maneuver HWSF above the prison and teleport him out. Unless you think that's too easy.

Hah, now that is a neat idea, Varon.

Haha! Yes!

@Shawn: I... have no idea.

Well, I guess they'll just look at every book...

* penguins chitter *

Huh. They think it has a red cover.

Oh yes, I'm sure it would be red.

*laughs*
So... Tuesday night, I was writing and thinking about Jay and this thread that I had just kind of skimmed over, and behind me, I hear my brother muttering incomprehensively to the iPad. Then, suddenly, there bursts forth sound! The Great Escape theme. My brother couldn't understand what made me laugh.
The song, by the way, is really catchy.

@Varon -could you teleport him out if the forum was only overtop of the prison? Wouldn't it have to be inside?
*displays lack of knowledge about all things Sci-fi*

Ok, so the dragon will smash through the wall while the mimetes crew rides rapidly-growing mimetes plants into the jail. Meanwhile 1/3 of the penguins will create a distraction, another 1/3 will search the abyss for the secret manual that tells how to beam Jay up using the HWSF, and the last 1/3 of the penguins will give support to the hundreds of Seer's dressed as ninjas by eating the guards livers/putting them on slow lifeboats to China...(Madagascar) What else?

Very well thought out, Daniel. Sounds like a good plan to me.

Yes, yes! BRILLIANT!!!

Now we just need that manual... Oooh! Bushy, can you give me a boost? I'm trying to reach that huge red one up there. * points *

Yeah, we could do it from the being above the prison, like in Star Trek.

*walks in, followed by a swarm of glittering, metallic dragonflies*

Escape plans! Brilliant!

My dragonflies could spy out the place and report back to us what they find. It'd make things a bit easier if we knew the layout, perhaps?

Also, should we have a need to get rid of any guards...Philly's cupcakes and Bethy's pies. No one can resist those. Shawn could send them by the penguins, perhaps. Just slip something in to temporarily turn the guards into something harmless...say, butterflies?

I'll gladly donate my cookies to the cause. Brendan wrote into the rules that no cookies were allowed to surpass them!

Waugh! * nearly falls off * * grabs at the bookcase * A little to your other left!

*gives Shawn extra boost* Didja get it?

*Faints with laughter* I just looked it up on grooveshark and listened with this look on my face. I can totally see the penguins marching to that! (This makes me want to write this escape plan into a short story. )

Hah, yes! Totally.

* manages to grab the corner of the book * I have it-ackp! Don't drop me so fast!

You're... kinda... heavy... *tries to prop Shawn up*

* falls off and lands in a heap, giggling * "I got the book."

Yay!!!

*opens book*

*scans pages*



*moans* Typical! Who here can read elvish?

Oh, oh, oh! *raises hand*
...not me. Sorry.
*helps Shawn up* I can watch other people read elvish. And, if someone finds out what it says, I might be able to decode cryptic wording. I'll stick around until then.

There's a few people around here who can do some of it, but I have a translator device if that will be easier.

Elvish manuals were not my invention, don't blame me. I'd go with the translator device...

I can translate snippets of Elvish, but I do think Varon's translator would work better...

...now, do we have to look for that too?
