Arwens fall into disgrace

[Yoko]

Yoko shifted his weight to the right and slid down a side alley. As he slid past an old house with a rotting wooden door, he grabbed hold and ripped the door away from the house. As he approached a box in the alley, he threw the door in front of him, creating a make-shift ramp which the bowl and rider rode up and flew into the air, yelling, "Yoko Yokooooo," as he flew. Yoko landed on top of a building two levels lower, turning around and lifting his mask high enough that his mouth was visible and sticking out his tongue at the King two levels above before returning the mask to its place and continueing to leap down the tops of building towards the gate.

OOC: You may direct your Yoko fan mail to my PM box

[Envin]

Aragorn stood for a split second, mouth agape at the utter impudence of the fellow. The merchant came at him with a large stick, and Aragorn leapt down after Yoko. But then he swerved off of his course slightly, and running past another shop he picked up a large spit, and threw the pig stuck on it off, the nearly raw hog smashing into the liquor shelves behind the bar. The drunks nearby swarmed in as Aragorn leapt clean from the level, and caught with the spit a wire communal clothesline that ran for several levels. As fast as Yoko might be, gravity was faster, and Aragorn sped after him. He alighted just ahead of the irksome masked tongue-sticker, with his feet ahead of him spewing up tiles at Yoko. Then he ducked into a crouch and threw a spinning kick at Yoko's legs, and swung with Anduril at his other side as he leapt up, angling the blade at Yoko's belt to relieve him of his stinky orb-pouch.


{Do you have a secretary, or are you up close and personal with your fans? And do you give autographs?}

[Yoko]

The pouch of orbs fell off of Yoko, and the masked assassin made to grab the King by the arm and throw him against a nearby wall. Another samely dressed figure as Yoko (hearby known as a Yoko clone) ran past and pulled the piece of papaer from Yoko's pocket, proceeding to stuff it into his own and run down the street.

OOC: Well, not autographs per se, but you get the satisfaction of knowing the Great Yoko has read your letter, unless his secretary filed it in the wrong bin, or his security force has seized the letter to check for fingerprints.

And yes, that's the last Yoko clone for this thread.

[Legolas]

(LOL, this is too funny... I've gotta admit Ash, you outdid yourself with this Yoko character... I hearby grant you one more Kharma!)

[Envin]

Aragorn slammed into the wall and his breath escaped him, but as he bounced off he used his momentum to lift his knee right in Yoko's groin, and the masked offender stifled a "Yoko, YokOH!" Aragorn shoved him backward and ran his blade clean at the soft part of Yoko's stomach while his attention was dutifully occupied by groin. Then he took off down the street after this cloned Yoko, picking up glasses and other implements from the shops as he ran and throwing them at the figure ahead.



{Well, then do you at least have a Yoko line of t-shirts and mugs. Surely you sell Yoko orb toys for kids, at least...}

[Yoko]

Yoko ran after his clone at full speed, and jumping off of anything he could find to increase his speed, kegs of ale, horses, people, it didn't really matter. Soon he caught up with the clone Yoko. The clone slid four metal rings around the all-important piece of paper, two on each end, so that it weighed more. Then the two Yoko's began to toss the piece of paper back and forth as they ran through the streets with a joyful, "Yoko yoko!" Eventually they began to do more complex moves, one throwing the paper to the other, doing a jump or a roll and then catching it as it was thrown back.

OOC: I'll tell you what, if everyone on the site sends me all the money they have, I can start a Yoko line of products. This is of course made more difficult by the fact that I'm not revealing my address.

[Envin]

Aragorn snarled, shocked that the thief rushed away and slipped past him, so irresponsibly ignoring the hit to the groin, and momentarily wondered whether that would bother Yoko very much. But then he realized that he was still carrying the spit with which he had sailed down the clothesline, and he brought it up over his head, and with a well-timed cast hurled it in between the two paper-jugglers just as his parchment changed hands. At the same time, an old woman walked crookedly out of a shop doorway and caught sight of the chase. Then she furrowed her brows. Yoko for some odd reason beyond reckoning reminded her of her husband that had left her ten years before, and she hefted her walking stick and came at him, even as the spit connected with the parchment and Aragorn rushed up.


{No need. Just have your secretary use her addy, then she'll get all the adoring fans clamouring at her door. Of course, she'll have to deal with the groupies wanting to some some orbs with Yoko, too. There'll be a constant stream of them going up the Hill bearing polite variations on 'Yoko, yoko.'}

[Yoko]

The two Yoko's leaped up into the air and the real Yoko kicked off the clone one, reaching up and grabbing a torch that was lighting the city. He came down on the parchment with it, to set it on fire, after all, his master really didn't care what was on the paper, just that enough chaos was stirred up in Minas Tirith. The Yoko clone pulled an orb from his pouch and threw it at the old women, sending a paralysis powder flying into the air. "Yoko yoko," they said in unison.

[Envin]

The Yoko clone had come nearer the old woman, and mimicked his brother, lifting up his mask to stick out his tongue at her obviously ineffective wavings of her stick. But his brother's leap onto his back slipped a "Yoko, yokUGH!" from his mouth, and he stumbled forward a step, in time for the old lady to connect with her stick on his still present tongue. But then she was hit by the paralysis powder and fell into a table of cream cakes that sat innocently nearby. Several flew about, and one gave the cloned Yoko a new mask.

Aragorn had run up just as the whole incident happened, and dodged a cream cake or two, spying Yoko's angling with the torch, and threw himself into a slide on the rough pavement, his feet slapping the parchment aside as he careered into the jumble of Yokos, old lady, and children and dogs freeloading the cream cakes. Aragorn rolled over on top of the paper and stumbled to his feet, a bit dizzy but still able to sweep Anduril from the sheath and face the twin Yokos.


{Sorry, had a funny idea and wrote for cloned Yoko. BTW: Just a thought: Yoko. You should have him be always playing with a yo-yo.}

[Yoko]

The Yoko clone tossed the real one a orb from his pouch, taking one for himself as well, and they both threw them onto the ground in unison, creating twin flashes of light. Quickly, they drew bladed boomerangs and threw them with presision at the two ends of a wooden bridge between housetops spanning across the street directly above the King of Gondor, causing it to fall down towards him. When the boomerangs hit their target, both Yoko's jumped up in the air waving their hands and shouting, "Yoko yoko!" The boomerangs flew back into their owners hands, and the two Yokos gave each other a high-rang (you know, sort of a high five but with boomerangs capable of slicing wooded bridges down ).

OOC: hehe, Yoko-rangs.

[Legolas]

(ok...time for some Legolas action!!! *war cry*)

Legolas made his way down the silent streets of the city. It was a quiet night, and so far the only commotion heard was the hourly sounding of the horns of Gondor.

After turning a corner, Legolas came face to face with what appeared to be two people, dressed alike in bright colors. Each held a curved stick and had a mask that brought a broad grin across his face.

Legolas smiled, thinking himself to behold two children, obviously attempting to continue some make-believe game.

Approaching the two, Legolas called out in question.

"My my...what creatures dwell now within the White City? And what game might you children be playing now? It's quite late, not the time of day for young people to be out. Now, why don't you tell me where your home is and we'll take you back presently."

[Envin]

Aragorn dove out of the way of the bridge, debris falling into his back with a crash. He growled, and realized he had dropped the parchment. Stumbling to his feet he glanced about, saw with hope Legolas' approach, and then spied the parchment some few feet distant.

"Legolas, an arrow! Pin it down!" he cried, pointing to the paper. These orbs were becoming a dratted nuisance, and he went for the cloned Yoko, cream cake still dripping from his mask, and made to sever from him the belt which held the orbs.

[Yoko]

While Aragorn was busy attacking the clone, the real Yoko leaped off of a building wall and towards the King's shoulders, inteding to stand on them and then jump repeatedly upon the King, forcing him to the ground. The clone pulled out one orb before the pouch was severed from him and threw it onto the ground, causing yet another flash of light. "Yoko yoko!"

[Envin]

Aragorn reeled in a cough from cloned Yoko's orb-throwing, but grinned at the relief of his belt. He closed his eyes quickly, and when he opened them, he saw Yoko's shadow soaring through the air, but could not turn round to see him and leave his back undefended. He simply ducked, swinging Anduril above his head, and throwing a spin kick at cloned Yoko, who was still near enough in range. He came out of his spin kick, Anduril still waving above, and kicked the pouch up at cloned Yoko's head, an orb or two spilling out and connecting with his masked face, still bespeckled with cream cake.

[Yoko]

Yoko landed more ungracefully than usual on account of the King's sword, and threw the torch he still carried at the pouch of clone Yoko now lying on the ground. The fire set off all of the orbs at once, causing a great amount of light, smoke, and powder to fly into the air. In the confusion, clone Yoko pulled out a rope and tossed it to Yoko who caught it. The twin assassin's then performed another jump from wall to each other and then back to the wall until Yoko was even with the top of the outer gate. He landed and leaped outside of the city, pulling the rope behind him so that the clone Yoko followed him over the gate. Both Yokos raised their masks once more to stick out their tongues and then whistled, two masked horses running up to them which they mounted. With a loud "Yoko yoko!" they departed towards the nearest port where a Haradrim ship waited for them.
