Picknose wanted to flee but knew that the King's wrath would cut him down before he even managed to get out of the Courtroom. His voice trembling, he answers.

Picknose:"My things were gone after they left, they had them in their packs."

Ororo smiles:"That isn't what I asked you. Did anyone of the accused actually steal anything from you. Any physical items?"

Picknose whimpers:"You don't understand, HE made me do it. I had no choice, he would have turned me into a human."

Ororo:"Do you mean this Master of yours?"

Picknose:"Yes, please, you got to protect me! You don't know what he's like."

Something just doesn't seem right about Picknose's behavior. Taking a gamble, she decides to press on with her questioning.

Ororo:"Picknose, who mae you do this? Tell me your masters name. Is it Belasco? Is he your Master?"

Picknose(crying): No, I don't serve Belasco. I never even met him. My only master is ....."

The blue glow surrounding Pickose remains steady throughout all of his answering, meaning he is speaking the truth. As his master' name is about to be spoken, Picknose grabs at his throat like he is choking and falls to the ground, dead.

Oberon:"WHO DARES! I WANT THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY FOUND IMMEDIATELY."

Ororo looks around the court room trying to figure out what to do next. Her mind racing, she turns to the King.

Ororo:"Actually, milord. I know who killed Picknose. The party is still within this courtroom."
 
:: Euthalia looked around the courtroom. ::

That is so star wars episode 2. . .

:: Her eyes peer from face to face around the room and then up at the king and to Ororo. ::
 
:: Rama watches in awe as to what is suddenly going on. He waits to see who it was but also on guard of his life in case the culprit would strike him next ::
 
*She nods and steps down from the stand, watching Picknose be torn apart by Ororo's questions. After he dies, she looks around the room alarmed, wondering if the culprit would come after them too. She watches Ororo who apparently knows who the killer is and keeps an eye on Oberon, waiting.*
 
:: Tobias smirks as Picknose gets killed ::

I knew the master he was referring to, wasn't Balasco...

:: Toby waits for what is going to happen next ::
 
:: Sati smirked a little as Picknose died, feeling absolutely no sympathy whatsoever for the creature that had put them in this predicament. He was obviously afraid of his master... and, in her opinion, he should have just shown some backbone and turned upon the creature who threatened him. Whatever had come to him was well deserved, and, so long as Ororo was as right as she seemed to be, the loss of a witness was no hinderance to them ::

But still... it would be easier if Belasco was his master...
 
Ororo composes herself before addressing the King once more.

Ororo:"Its obvious Lord, Picknose served...Gilderlilly.

<<Ororo sends a telepathic message to Oberon in a strictly pirvate mode:>>**"Oberon, shall we play this out? I know that Picknose only served you. None of your creatures would dare to have another master, for fear of what you might do to them. I want my clients freed or I will let everyone know that you set these people up, violating the precepts of the Market in the process. You have a choice here. You can denounce Gilderlilly and give him some trifling punishment until we're gone or you can deal with the uprising that my information will bring about. Your subjects will revolt and you know it. You may be more powerful than anyone else, but not more than everyone else. They will drag you down! And just to make sure you are aware of it, you might manage to strike me down but NOT before I manage to reveal your secret. Choose wisely!"**

The telepathic exchange took only seconds and Gilderlilly has only just started to gasp and sputter at the outrageous lies.

Gilderlilly:"You, your, your majesty! This woman is insane. That foul creature didn't serve me! I am loyal to you!"

Oberon glares at Ororo, knowing that she is not bluffing. The room darkens with his anger!


<<Oberon to Ororo>>:**"You deceitful B*itch! I should destroy you for this. Fine you want them freed, so be it! NEVER COME INTO MY PRESCENCE AGAIN WITCH! WE ARE ENEMIES FROM THIS MOMENT FORTH!"**

Oberon addresses first Gilderlilly then the defendants.

Oberon:"I will deal with you soon enough, Traitor! As for the res of you, I lay this punishment for your deeds upon you!

Kurama, you who attacked my guard. I curse you that each step you take shall feel like knives flaying your feet!

Amarisy, you who would take the face of a King, I take from you your face!

To all of you who stand before me, I grant this curse to you: Should the sun set with any of you still within my kingdom, you will all die in agony! Leave my sight this instant!"

Still shackled, everyone is tossed out of the palace onto the steps. They can see the sun is about an hour from setting. Every step that Rama takes drives spikes of pain into him and Amy's face is smoothed over, somehow leaving her able to breathe but unable to speak or see. Seeing the short amount of time they have left, Ororo reaches into her hair and clothing to pull out lockpicks. After about 10 minutes of concentrated effort, she manages to finally pick the last of the shackles open.

Ororo:"Come, we have to hurry, we must be out of the confines of the Market before sunset! Once we are through the gates, I can teleport us to my home, but not until then! Run children, run!"
 
:: Rama finds himself racked with pain with each step he takes after the whole debacle in the court. After being freed he nods slightly to Ororo. Seeing as Amy can't speak and that each step he takes gives him pain, he takes to the air to fly and picks up Amy. He looks at the others ::

"Come on guys lets get out of here. Lets bolt this joint"

:: Rama takes off with amy for the exit ::
 
*She watched the court proceedings, knowing something was going on between Ororo and Oberon before she accused Gilderlilly. Somehow, she didn't believe the man had actually killed Picknose, but as long as they weren't dead, it was a good step for them. As they were thrown out of the palace, everything suddenly went dark as she felt her face, nothing but smoothe skin. She couldn't see, and she figured she probably couldn't talk, it was a good think she could mindspeak. She felt someone pick her up, the air hitting her face as she wondered what was going on.*
 
:: She sighed a little with relief as the shackles were freed, yet one glance to her right gave her pause, as she looked at Amy's face. It was completely blank... something totally disturbing about that fact, and she stared at Amy for a moment longer before loping into an easy relaxed run, deliberately slowing her pace so as to not outrun the rest of them. The events in the courtroom had surprised her a little. Still, she looked around, noticing with slight unease that most of the group were moving far too slowly, and she closed her hands around Tobias and Euthalia's arms, and pulled them along with her, moving at her own increased speed to get them out of the market as quickly as possible ::

All: Anyone not able to keep up?
 
Woh...this is a turn of events. Who would of thought, Gilderlily?

:: Tobias notices the looks that Ororo and Oberon were giving each other and he knew that something was going on. He was confused because he was sure that Oberon has been the one who had set them up like he had insinuated earlier. Something didn't seem to click if it was Gilderlily... He listens to the King and he was grateful when the shackles fell to the ground. He rubs his wrists and then follows the rest of the group outside. When Sati grabs his shoulder he didn't know what the hell she was doing, but when he realised that he would never be able to run this fast he mumbled a thankyou as he started to get out of breath. ::

I hope nothing attacks us on the way, I mean thats what always happens in these kind of situations...
 
:: Euthalia was confused at the thought that Oberon who had seemed to look lustfully at Ororo once had just called her a deceitful b*tch and had declared her an enemy. She was then furtherly surprised that Oberon had punished Gilderlily. She was relieved to however been thrown at the palace steps and when the shackles had been removed she smiled thankfully but didn't have time to bask in the glory of being freed. She quickly got up and began running to catch up to the others that had already started running. She heard what Tobias had thought about something attacking them. ::

Same here Toby, but always take the optimistic route, hope for the best.
 
Running and flying towards the Market entrance, it almost seems that the sun is racing towards the horizon as well. Perhaps in this strange realm, natural laws are set aside and obey Oberon's whims. The Market itself also seems much larger, the streets longer, stretching into the distance. Turning onto one of the side paths, they find themselves in the menagerie, all the stalls seem to be dealing with animals, either selling the animals/creatures themselves or items for their upkeep.

A masculine voice singing a haunting song stops the females in their tracks. The Merman floats in a tank of seawater, his arms folded across the top edge, smiling cruelly. While many had heard of the entrancing quality of a Mermaids voice, evidently the Males of the species shared the magick as well. The women slowed down and then stopped completely, enchanted by his voice, while the sun continued its steady progression towards setting.
 
:: Running along through the menagerie, the haunting voice of the Merman reached her ears, drawing her attention even through her hurry. Her speed slowed, then returned to a normal speed as she gradually stopped and released her hold on Tobias and Euthalia. Sati turned, facing the Merman who was floating before her... completely enchanted by the beautiful voice ::
 
:: Euthalia also stopped the voice being too beautiful to not acknowledge. She turned to find the man whose voice this was. She looked over at the merman smiling as he continued to sing. She walked towards him and put one hand on the glass, ignoring the angered glances of the male members of the group who didn't seem to notice his voice. She then looked up as the sun began to setting, her intuition telling her to continue running, but she didn't. ::
 
:: Rama noticed that Maia had been without help in running, so focusing his energys raised her to the sky and put her on his back, while he was flying. He then noticed that Sati and Euth were stopped he glanced to Tobais ::

"Tobias, take flight and carry them with you, put one on your back and one in your hands, we need to get out of here fast, take high to the sky so this wont happen again"

:: Rama soars into the air while pushing on heading to the gates, he then sent a message to Ororo ::

Ororo, can you give us some wind help to push us further and faster on our way?
 
:: After all this, Maia was really frustrated. She suddenly found herself on Kurama's back. She looked back at Sati, Euthalia, Toby and Amaris. She shook her head as she looked back at Ororo... sighing. This was all a mess... ::
 
Ororo doesn't respond to Rama's message, instead she stands entranced before the Merman's tank. All of the women struggle against the guys trying to return to the Merman.
 
:: Rama realizes that there is no response and heads down to see that Ororo too is stopped by this song. Rama gets close to the ground enough to set Amy down and then float over to Ororo. Then placing his hands on her head taps into his own mental powers and finding the synapse that controls her outward hearing, blocks it so that she cannot hear the song any longer. Seeing as Tobias has not responded, Rama floats over and does the same for Euth and Sati. Rama then picks Amy back up ::

"Alright lets get going people!"

Ororo, you cannot hear anylonger so lets get the lead out. Also we could do with some helpful wind to push us on faster
 
*As she waited in Rama's arms, she started hearing singing...from what sounded like a man's voice. She tried looking around for the owner of such a beautiful voice, but then realized she was still blind. She nodded her head back and forth to the song as she was picked back up by Rama, wondering where they were.*

"Hey, what's going on???"
