However, the undead knight never really learned that; either that, or he didn't really feel like learning patience.
In fact, instead of just wandering around aimlessly like most ghouls and whatnot, he had actually composed a tune fit for a orchestra by just tapping on the wooden table that he had been sitting at for the past twenty-eight Addventure episodes. He never bothered remembering it, but the fact is...
... Well, the fact is that the writer of this episode is going to stop with the unneccesary fourth wall breaking and get on with the story.
Two things were frustrating Rook. First was his "subordinate",Hanza, who he had sent out months before to find the weresmilodon. He was sure that the mercenary would have been able to find it by now; it was causing quite a stir with the infiltration of Sanctuary, and the defeat (and himuliation) of Weaponsmaster Tsunami. Oh sure, the conclave and Guards had tried to cover the events up, but even Rook's spy network wasn't THAT bad.
... Actually, Hanza wasn't foremost on his mind. Well, Hanza was right after her breasts in his rather perverted mind, but even they came after the next issue.
"Where the HELL is my magazine?" Rook growled in frustration.
Ah yes, Rook's beloved pornography. No man - alive or dead - could resist the allure of the bounty of flesh, especially female. Of course, it was best if the flesh was at least humanoid, but still, in Rook's mind, any man who could resist the rewards that the woman (or at least her pictures) was either homosexual or... well, homosexual.
Of course, at this point Rook had not yet Ranma, so he could be escused for being misguided as such.
Rook's... well, eyes would probably be the best nouns at this moment... directed themselves towards the heavy wooden door, from which a skeleton emerged, holding several flat objects in its hand. "Sir!" it shouted, saluting ala millitary fashion. "Spy reports from the south!"
If an eyebrow was visible on the knight, it would have raised. "Well, then, let's hear it," Rook commanded, facing towards the animate figure of bone.
The skeleton abruptly dropped its arm. Then, it sheepishly picked it back up from the ground. "There has been a jail break at Trinc!" it reported, standing straight at attention, waiting for its surperior's response.
It didn't really expect Rook's baffled reply of,"Trinc? Where the hell is that?"
The skeleton tried to blink several times, then forced itself to give up after it relized that he was lacking eyelids. It glanced down at a piece of paper it held, then looked back up. "Um... I meant Trine."
"Ah," Rook said. Then he looked hard at the skeleton. "That's where G'Nolga's being held," he stated.
"Yessir. Looks like the weresmilodon was responsible. He took G'Nolga, as well as two petty thieves, for some unknown reason," it shrugged. Rook nodded knowingly. "Oh yeah, this came in," it added, holding out a plastic wrapped copy of...
"YES!" Rook crowed, snatching the magazine and holding over his head. "My latest issue of Elven Babes Gone Wild finally arrived!"
Dimly, the skeleton heard a faint electronic tune.
Rook brought down the magazine, ready to open it, when he found a rude surprise. "... Hey, it's already unsealed," he commented flatly, then turned towards the skeleton, whose teeth (and other bones) were rattling slightly.
"Aheh... about that..." the skeleton remarked nervously. "You see, the boys had gotten it from the postmaster, and we decided to take a little-" Any further escuse was chopped away, as well as the undead's head.
Rook snorted as he sheathed his sword. "How many times do I have to tell you numbskulls not to touch my porn? ESPECIALLY the ones with the girl-on-girl action specials?" he asked sarcastically, then slumped down in his chairs and proceeded to peruse the magazine. He then glanced at the skeleton. "What are you waiting for?"
"Oh, sorry," the skeleton responded as his body bent down to recover its decapitated head, then rushed out cradling the skull. It was very glad that Rook decided to be lenient, since he had gotten his elven girls, in paper form.
