[act]a number of confused-looking dates step through the wardrobe and enter the Woods[/act]
s*c*p:
**You may not gatecrash! Present tickets and dates or be deleted!**Bram: [act]steps forward[/act] We have been invited to this social event. Our dates have simply not shown up.
[act]Pavo and Fian edge toward the s*c*p, fascinated[/act]
Fian: [act]quietly, to Pavo[/act] Such advanced motor skill!
Pavo: [act]quietly, to Fian[/act] What's it powered by?
s*c*p: [act]turns to them suddenly and holds out flipper[/act]
**TICKETS or latecomers will be DELETED!**[act]the late dates hurriedly hand over their single tickets[/act]
[act]Sly Willie deviously casts a dodgy glance around the Woods, and steals an empty can of softdrink, shoving it into his costume[/act]
s*c*p: [act]orders[/act]
**You will proceed to register and collect your rings!**Hannay: [act]brightly[/act] Righto! [act]takes quill and writes in their names[/act]

All dressed as chess pieces - pawns, incidentally ;) clever, huh?
Gevan: :-/ don't be boring, Hannay. I don't think the book cares what we're dressed as.
Hannay: Everyone else did it!
Gevan: [act]calmly[/act] and if everyone else jumped off a cliff, would you do it too?
Hannay: [act]takes rings[/act] Yeap! [act]jumps into nearest pool[/act]
