mindcrackloveSo I orignaly wrote the Pause bit at the end from his view, but decided it gives away to much and returned to third person. anyway, this is the longest yet.

Charaters
They arrived in a castle. Greeted by Doc
‘Welcome, the king is away on business. You will follow me out of the castle.’ They followed his retreating form ‘You are not to leave this kingdom. We are on seize fire with our neighbours and any unannounced border crossing could be seen as an act of war’ Doc led them out through the kitchen. ‘You may return at any time to return home. Though you will not be welcome if you bring war to this kingdom’ Doc held the door open for them to leave. No-one was in the grounds. They headed towards the first gate that they saw.
‘So how do we find ourselves?’ Beef asked
‘We could put up wanted posters’ Pause suggested
‘And tell them what?’ Kurt asked
‘That we are looking for them, with reward for information on were to find them’
‘Where would they find us?’
‘I hadn't thought about that’
The Local people walked quickly, seeming to be avoiding being outside for any length of time. The group eventually found their way into the main streets, which appeared to be indoors. They quickly realised how cold it had been outside as they warmed up inside. They were surrounded by both stalls and shops. Kurt and Beef where drawn to a restaurant
~Diving Steaks~
When they had a closer look, they could see that the walls of the restaurant where covered in various arcade racing games. It seamed that you won steak if you got yourself onto a leader board, though there was more on the menu. It took very little convincing to get Guude and Pause to agree to have lunch there, and to use it as a potential meeting place for them from here. But it was too early for lunch, but now having somewhere to meet the group agreed to split up
Pause was wondering down one of the indoor streets when one of the shops caught his eye,
~Arrows and Swords~
The windows had various weapons, which all appeared to be decorative and the door was fabric tied back to indicate the shop was open, It appeared to be lit by fires. Wondering inside he saw many more interesting weapons, and naturally gravitated to the bows section. After browsing for a while he gently picked up one of the delicate looking short bows. The string appeared to be thin as a spider web, the colour undeterminable due to the thinness. A quick touch proved that the string was firm. The body of the bow looked like it was made from water, on closer inspection it was being held in place by a thin opaque lilac material which he did not recognise. It appeared to be thin but extremely firm, much like the string. Weird.
‘You wish to have a try?’ Pause jumped around, to find himself facing himself.
‘Yes, I'd like a try’
‘Good eye, it's a good one, I’ll find the arrows and join you in the range.’ He pointed to a different door which lead outside.
Pause saw him head to the front door and draw it closed before Pause went into the yard. There was various targets, all at different heights and sizes. There appeared to be some moving targets at the back, and training dummies near the door. The shopkeeper came outside with a lilac quiver and handed it over to Pause. He drew one of the twenty arrows. It looked just as decorative as the bow. It had a black arrow head, which he recognised from Blames trophy, a white shaft that appeared to glow and the fletching was fire. As he stared at the arrow it began pooling shadows around him. He drew back the bow firing the arrow. The target caught fire briefly, then faded back towards the arrow without leaving a mark. As Pause continued retrieving and firing the arrows the shopkeeper started explaining
‘This set was crafted by a master weapon smith, not me’ As Pause gave him a questioning look ‘Who was a fan of bringing materials from various worlds to his pieces. Bow is primarily purple, with the water from here being the only exception. The bow can provide you with infinite water if you know how to retrieve it. The arrows, a blend of three. The head hails from the black dimension, and can be used to create darkness, which can hide the user in dusk, twilight and during night, It also has an edge of unparalleled sharpness. The arrow shaft is of the white dimension and can be used as a torch should it be needed. The fletching causes the fire, allowing yourself and allies to see objects or beings that you shoot for a brief period of time. You can take it from this place, no charge, but before you leave, you must let me show you how to care for this magical piece’
Guude found himself out in the cool fields around the town. Surely local Guude would dislike the sweltering heat too, which would mean that he should be found outside somewhere. After a while he noticed that the sun was high, checking his watch it was nearly when they were supposed to meet
Kurt went exploring, He began to get weirded out by the people around him
‘Good day sir, do you want some fish, on the house’
‘Good day to you sir, no I don't want any fish’
‘Morning sir, do you want your shoes shined’
‘No, thank you’
‘Sir, Sir, Sir’
‘Yes?’
‘Do you want to have brunch, my aunt owns this restaurant around the corner’
Like this Kurt continued to be harassed by the local populace. He'd ever been annoyed by friendliness before.
Beef kept getting lost, every half hour he'd find himself back in the main square. Beef realised it was lunch and gave up, standing outside Driving Steaks.
Pause was the first to return, his new bow on his back.
‘Nice bow’
‘Yeah, I gave it to me’
‘So you found yourself?’
‘Yeah, not going to lie, but, his stuff looks a lot less dangerous than it is’
‘So how bad is the one you got’
‘Apparently it was named vampires saviour, but it mostly just seems to be a water producing bow with sharp as heck arrows that cause lighting effects.’ Pause offered Beef one of the arrows for inspection. Beef cut himself on the tip
‘Ow. You weren't joking’
‘Would I lie to you?’
Kurt arrived, seeing the two straight away,
‘Everyone here is so… so kind’ He half-heartedly complained
‘Yeah, look at this sweet bow I got from me, I even has really nice arrows’ Pause offered Kurt a different arrow, as beef was still checking out the movement of the fire fletching.
‘Watch the tip, its sharp’ Beef warned Kurt, just before he cut himself.
‘Hey guys, what ya doing’ Guude queried, having just arrived.
‘Checking out Pause's arrows’ Beef responded, passing his arrow to Guude.
Pauses’ colour slowly drained.
‘You okay?’ Beef inquired as it all went black for Pause.
Beef managed to grab him before he hit his head on the nearby stall on the way down. Out of no-were a bed was supplied, along with water and ice pack. Pause was white and burning up. They started to panic as they realised that they didn’t technically have an identity here, how could they get the care for Pause? They shared a look and in that moment they knew the other two agreed, they had to get him back to school. Kurt took Pauses newly acquired bow and quiver, and returned the arrows.
‘Is there any chance of a bed with wheels so we can get him to help?’ Kurt asked
‘It’s coming, as is help’ one of the nearest onlookers replied, looking shocked that he’d asked such a basic question. They got lucky that the bed came first, and that Beef had come-up with an idea,
‘Okay, we need to get him to his family, they should be able to help as this is a family ailment.’ Beef started trying to navigate towards were Pause had come from.
Hoping that he was looking for a stall, and that the other Pause knew about worlds. Several of the onlookers began running ahead, clearing the path for them to follow, to the door or Arrows and Swords, beef pushed the wheeled bed inside the shop, and was followed closely by Guude, and the older version of pause blocked Kurt and the onlookers,
‘This shop is closed, family friends only while I look after,’ He stopped and looked at Kurt ‘Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean to block you’
Letting Kurt slip by while he closed the curtain. Muttering loudly but incoherently. He looked at the group as if for the first time and laughed. They looked at him horrified, how could he laugh while Pause lay there in that state? After a bit he caught onto their serious mood
‘Ah he'll be fine, I’ve seen this before.’
‘He was just standing there staring at Guude, and then he went pale and fainted’ Beef informed
‘You should return to your world, it would be unwise for him to return here for a while’
‘How’d we get him to the castle?’
‘Oh, that’s easy you wheel him there like you did here’
‘But everyone tries to help’
‘You just need to arrange yourselves, and act right, don't look panicked’ Ignoring their protests he moved Pause onto the till before placing sheets over the bed that had been provided, making the bed look far finer than a moment before. He moved Pause back onto the bed, before placing a blanket over the top.
‘Now that he looks right, Good was it?’ Guude nodded ‘Right, you in front, then Kurt?’ Kurt also nodded ‘And then Pause followed by Beef, Oh and Beef, the bedding, I want you to have it, take it home with you, but leave the bed with Samuel.’
‘Who's Samuel?’ Beef asked
‘The Kings attendant, seeing as the kings away he probably let you in, he’s one of the half breeds’ They remembered the Doc from here, that must be Samuel. They noted that although he'd used a derogatory term, he'd said it like it was positive.
Following local Pause’s advice they easily got back to the castle, and with a bit of help from Samuel, got pause into the school medical rooms. It also quickly became apparent that the headmaster was familiar with Samuel, as was a number of the other students.
They were the first back.
