The Special Room - Origins PART 1 Oh the Absurdity!

I failed to realize that the “intimate” relationship between Randy and his pet Frosty included telepathy.
The second that ****, *****, ****** and ******* letter word excuse for an animal understood what I meant to do with my axe, rather than cringe or try to escape, he let out a blast of hot fetid air enough to singe my eyebrows off. And I was at ten paces away from him!
Although Randy never possesses exactly 100% reasoning capabilities, he quickly understood that someone’s blood was about to be spilled and he would be losing either a pet or an associate if he left the safety of the underside of the dice table; or perhaps his own if he stood up.
We were supposed to be besting a member of that alien species now installed in our holy Chapel, and here we were bickering like two old washerwomen with a slobbering pet with amour in his eyes.
Above us the Chapel service had evidently started.
An out-of-tune warbling commenced
This drove the other customers in the Tavern (and far beyond) to wrestle with their avatars until they had seized the nice soft red ear muffs and put them on.
I reluctantly returned the axe to the Gate Guard who, at that mo

Our current round of peace negotiations lasts about ten seconds this time and is broken by the foolish advance of my lone enemy albeit an armed one.
But she is new to the area and not aware of the arsenal that Salty keeps under the bar counter. All tout passé but still useful. The first blow of her mace hits my recently acquired Proper Shield, denting it.

Having recovered from the shock of seeing my recent mortal enemy returning to the Tavern with a "white flag", I sit down and join her in a "bevvie" and a biscuit.
Now Salty also considers himself to be a bit of an artiste and using his musical spoons begins to croon one of the Ye Olde ditties: “In days of old, when Knights were bold………”,
but is quickly silenced by Santa who tells him that there are ladies present and that is not for their ears. 
Sulkily he returns to his place behind the bars and cleans at some dirty glasses.
Replete with Salty’s Special Brew, Randy clears his throat and begins to bore us all rigid with elaborate tales of the early days of the MC.
Just as I am about to doze off too, I hear the word “WITCH” and am immediately alert again hanging on his every word (of which there are many, all interrupted by bouts of belching)

what does a body have to do to get into the hospital? What does fur cones have to do with it and how many? I have checked every nook and cranny and can't fine it. Please help me!!!
oh, one more thing. What is a triple header?
AEG
This is a fictional story that playingthegame and eastendteddy (Randy) started........ Randy is soon to go into the real hospital shortly for a scheduled procedure (I really don't think you will want to go there) so that was incorporated into their fictional story. Fir cones is just a random item mentioned from the Christmas decorations to maintain an MC theme for the thread.
Triple Header means that Randy achieved 3 items with one final task....(1) He finished the Castle Challenge (he thought he would be in the hospital before it was over)....(2)....finishing the Castle Challenge gave him a new avatar........(3) That avatar he got from finishing the Castle Challenge also helped him meet the Master of Disguise achievement.....so he got the Werewolf (wolfie) avatar.
Don't take this thread seriously......it will hurt your brain (at least it does mine) to try to figure it all out.

Putting my broom down, having done its punitive work, I bow slightly towards A.e.gram
“Thank you, Oh! archivist”, who has a brain far more succinct than that grey-whiskered pre-op RoboRandy.
She has notebooks and papers all over her own room; so much so that we can’t even find any dust-bunnies however hard we try when sweeping it.
I wasn’t aware that she was aware of our dire predicament, never mind being in the same room as us. We feel honoured.
She fixes me in a stern gaze: “I strongly advise you hold the poor man’s arm as he is about to get all dreamy and serious as he does his best to scare the bloomers off our young acolyte Jenny wren!”
That flipperty-gibbet does love the animal kingdom so much that I have decided she is a bird (but not of the coarse-minded sort!).
There are also a young fledgling MC player huddled in the corner, hoping that she has escaped notice. But eagle–eyed Annie smiles at her and encourages her to watch and learn, before weeping.

I look cautiously around the room, then unzip my mouth."Wait... am I about to die?" I panic. "Because I have a bucket list!"
I whip it out of my corset. There are screams and pleas for me to put it back.
"Oh, sorry", I find my bucket list instead, clear my throat and begin...

"Well Randy, the criminally insane do tend to get distracted easily."I notice orderlies peering in the Tavern window. "Found them!" One calls out.
"Pre-op Cap'n Robo Randy for the love of God, finish the story!!!" I cry. "We don't have much time! Who is Murk? Look at PTG! See how desperate she is?!"
PTG hits me with a broom. "I'm a MAN!"
I am startled. "But... but... " I slowly extend my hand towards PTG's face. He slaps it away.

The orderlies and guards slowly surround pre-op Cap'n RoboRandy. It takes a while."What da heck is you all doin surroundin MOI wif such stelf… and bats?!"
Pre-op Cap'n RoboRandy is set upon. The ensuing struggle upturns the dice table, Santa, PTG and all his carefully swept up Christmas baubles.
"Oh well that just does it!"
"PTG, NO! Don't eat your new broom!" I shuffle back into the corner where Abbi the seahorse hid in terror for so long. A stray snow globe rolls my way and I tuck it into my corset. I'm surprised it doesn’t look odd. I know what is coming, so kick one to PTG. He either understands, or just shoved it up his wedding dress for kicks.
The monkey has officially had enough and leaps out through the window.
"Hey, you didn't pay your tab!" Salty runs after him.
"There's no avoiding this Randy!" One orderly grunts as he's kicked in the face. Pre-op Cap'n RoboRandy is putting up a great fight!
"You thunk I goin wif you, ya got a hed full a wet mice!" Pre-op Cap'n RoboRandy wails before a guard hits him over the head with a bat. "As I was saying, I'm quite scared and do not want to go with you and I'm asking you to respect my wishes and my personal space!"
Through a thick mouthful of ice cream I cry "Don't hit him again!"
But it's too late. "Git offa me! FROST! Where MOI rider?"
"Oh for crying out loud…"

I come to and find myself sitting on the floor in a circle with several other people and a man in a white coat."Hi, I'm Nancy, and I've been addicted to Midnight Castle for about two years now."
A dull, medicated chorus chants "Hi Nancy."
Oh dear God not again!
"At first I'd just play for a couple of hours a day... then it was like most of the weekend... then I'd start calling in sick... I mean I have to get gifts to everyone! And the shards! The shards! Trina wants them so I can get a key to open up a room - but I NEED the shards to furnish it! And she just wants more and more! And the Unique stamps NEVER drop! Where are they all? Who has them all? Do you?! You have them! Turn out your pockets! Do it!"
While Nancy randomly accuses and attacks her fellow group therapy participants two orderlies sneak up, sedate her and carry her back to her cell.
The doctor turns to me. "Alright Jenifer, now that you're awake, lets talk about-"
"No!" I fold my arms to show I'm serious.
"-let's talk about-"
"No!"
"-about the past events-"
"No!"
"-many things have happened-" "No!" "-over the last few days-" "No!" "-We have to talk about this!"

Oooooo! She is such a feisty creature and soooo bossy! Doesn’t she realize that I am the alpha male here; even if I am wearing a lovely tailor made white robe that to her looks like a wedding dress.
On her it would be such a dress but on me it is a white robe (with a few adornments).
[Now that we have got that sorted out in our worthy saga, let us proceed] I will admit that she is very good at picking up stray bits and pieces that are left over from the HOS. She has managed to acquire quite an assortment of useless junk.
I repair (what a wonderful use of the word!) to the Gnome’s Kitchen to get a spare broom and more importantly the miner’s pick, which I know will come in useful in the rescue of our dear incarcerated Randy.
You see I have yet another “cunning plan”, which is fool proof.
