Mickey coughs theatrically. "'What is your name?'"

“I am the Sword of God. Fire is the vengeance where by the wrong shall be righted and the truth be told,” the man said. His voice was loud and ringing, filled with the confidence of a man who knew what he was saying was right. He didn’t move, but instead just gave Mickey a look with his one eye.

It wasn’t strange to him to see this being. He often saw them. This must be Satan attempting to talk to him through this creature, for God’s creatures were always more aesthetically pleasing.

"What is your quest?" asks the Cat. It's perched, suddenly, on the roof of one of the gate-stiles.

“My quest is to bring the word of God, and to right the wrongs set out upon the Earth.”

"'What is the average w..?'" Mickey frowns down at the notebook. "You know, I don't really see why that's important." He flips a page. "'If you could be granted three wishes, what would they be?'”

"Or," the Cat says, examining its tail with interest, "if you were a genie and someone you were trying to
give three wishes to was trying to trick you into giving him more, what would you say?"

“I would bring the wrath of God upon them, and have their trickery revealed!”

Mickey looks rather nonplused at the next, but reads, "'When the revolution comes, what skills will you be able to barter for food?'"

Abe said nothing, but stared the mouse down. “I have God’s Good Grace looking down upon me,” he said slowly, but powerfully. “I will need to barter nothing!”

The Cat rolls its eyes in a friendly (and rather disconcertingly out-of-sync) way, and asks, "Milk, dark, or white chocolate?"

Abe would have looked confused if God allowed such weak emotions to cross his face! “I know not what you are talking about,” he said.

"'Choose the two coolest: robots, pirates, fairies, bears, ninjas, monkeys, vampires, or humans,'" says Mickey, giggling a bit as he goes through the list. "'Explain.'"

“I shall not answer your foolish questions! God shall shed the light on your foul trickery! You shall not fool me, devil!”

"Great!" Mickey flips through the blank pages of the notebook at top, cartoon-y speed. "Well, I think that's just about it! Oh, and I'm supposed to ask, 'for your safety: are you carrying anything sharp?'"

Abe drew his saber. “I have this sword that God above has blessed, and I shall strike you down with it!”


((XD To be monorailed? I'm not sure if he's going to get especially violent in the app though, so if there's no good reason for Mickey to monorail him, I can just duck him or something right after. XD;

Carrot saluted when Mickey appeared. "Are you the person in charge here?" he asked. "I need to speak to someone with authority."

It wasn't that Carrot was incapable of taking the lead in a situation like this; in fact it was exactly the opposite. Carrot was all too good at leading, and he knew perfectly well where that might take him. So he made sure never to act in an official capacity without the authority from a higher-up to do so.

"I s'pose so. Me an' the Cat. But he's a funny fella." He lowered his voice slightly and twirled his finger around his giant ear. "Hard to understand..."

[kzadbhat.livejournal.com]

Carrot nodded. Mickey's strange mannerisms didn't seem so strange to him. Obeying a cartoon mouse did, but Carrot was adaptable.

"I'm very glad to see you, then. Where I come from, I'm an officer of the City Watch," he explained. "My friend Strider and I subdued these two men, Sword of God-san and Kurogane, fighting. I've spoken to the men and a witness and have determined that Sword of God-san attacked Mr. Kurogane and Mr. Flourite, apparently unprovoked. He claims they were disobeying a law, but I'm not sure what he means."

He smiled. "There's a jail cell in an underground cave in New Orleans Square that's accessible by boat. Permission to hold this man, Mr. Sword of God-san, on the grounds of assault? He tried to attack again even after we convinced him to drop his sword, so I'm worried he might present a danger to others."

Mickey giggled. "That's not Sword of God-san, that's Abe." But then he sobered, giving the man big, sad eyes. "Do you really think he's gonna hurt the other guests? We can't have that. Not at all. If he's gonna hurt people, we can't let him inside. Do ya think he should go away...?"

[kzadbhat.livejournal.com]

"Abe?" replied Carrot. Well, that was embarrassing. He had investigated the matter thoroughly, but it didn't look that way if he didn't even know the suspect's name. "Sorry. And yes, I think he'll be a danger to others if he's let in, but where do you intend to send him?"

Carrot followed orders as a rule, but it was a rule he tended to bend when he thought the person in power was doing something wrong. He didn't know how this mouse would punish Abe, and he didn't want it to be a cruel punishment. "He just needs to be where he can't hurt people."

Mickey rocked back and forth on his heels. "Away," he said sadly, "far, far away from the Happiest Place on Earth..."

[kzadbhat.livejournal.com]

"Will he get hurt?" asked Carrot. He wanted Abe away, but he didn't want him hurt.

Mickey looked shocked, "'A course not!"

Aragorn stepped forward, one hand clasped about the hilt of the man Abe's sword. He was frowning deeply- the mouse, if that was what it was meant to be, made him uncomfortable. But Carrot was right; he was the power of this place, and the authority.

"I have given my word that his sword would be eventually returned to him," he said coolly.

[mickey-mous.livejournal.com]

"Then he should pick it up now, 'cause he's 'bout to go," said Mickey, looking over one shoulder at something that wasn't visible. "Can't have anyone dangerous here."

[king-longshanks.livejournal.com]

Aragorn forbore from pointing out that many of the park's residents were dangerous or that he himself could be quite dangerous, should the situation demand it. Instead, he turned without speaking and handed the man his weapon.

[mickey-mous.livejournal.com]

Mickey turned to the applicant. "'m sorry, Abe. Seems the other residents don't think it'd be safe for you to live here..."

[firethevengence.livejournal.com]

Abe held his head up high. "Perhaps not for them," he said. "Because they are all filthy sinners and there is no salvation for them."

Looking sad, Mickey waved goodbye as invisible hands lifted Abe and drew him at high speed past the buildings of Main Street and Tomorrowland. They deposited him on the monorail and the doors closed with all the finality of a coffin lid. When the train returned, it was empty.
