Listening to: Sivertide - Heartstrong

"It was in the paper" said Julia breathlessly (she'd been watching the events in another vehicle).  "The answer to our problems".  "Well what is it then" said John (the as yet unreferenced and unused character in this silly little drama).  "The museum, they are hosting an exhibition of euclidean geometrical prisoner pottery.  The centre piece of which is an exact replica of the vial of K'ram!".
"Wow", exclaimed John, obviously getting used to his new role as a speaking character. "so how do we go about getting the vial and then trapping the beast inside without any harm coming to any of us?" 
Tony then piped up "well i think we should split that into two smaller problems instead of one big one, that way we can, in fine horror movie style, split up the main characters to follow the two separate but intrinsicly linked plots, increase the audiences interest, the intensity of the fear, and the likelyhood of one of the characters getting walloped good and proper by the bad guy/spirit/demon/beast."
"What ARE you on about?" prompted Julia.
"I'm not sure really," said Tony, "Sometimes I just open my mouth and words come out."
"Well I wish you wouldn't, it's quite unnerving" from Julia who had recovered from her earlier bout of breathlessness.
"I agree" said John in an attempt to up his speech quota in the story to hopefully stave off a painful and gory death at the hands of the Beast of Drof-D'ar as befitting a minor character in a schlocky horror movie.

I decided to interject at this point in an effort to get the story moving again as pointless asides were getting us nowhere.  What we really needed was some good old fashioned action.  I revved the engine of the Camaro, stuck it in first gear again, spun the wheel and we flew out of the layby, the back wheels spitting dust and gravel as we hurtled along the road.  As we drove I highlighted the plan to my compadres.  (Why they listen to me I have no idea, but it seems to work so i'm not going to knock it!) The main points of the plan went as follows: Julia and I would drop John and Tony off at the museum and then continue to drive around fast and aimlessly in an attempt to keep the Beast chasing us.  Meanwhile behind the facade of this deserted looking bookstore, oh, hang on thats a different story.  Meanwhile, John (who was, by the way, relishing his new found existence with a name and a speaking role and everything)  and Tony were to find a way into the museum, steal the replica vial of K'ram and escape to our hideout where we would all meet to work out how best to trap this infernal creature (and so put my tortured imagination to rest).  For myself and Julia the plan seemed to be most enjoyable though obviously necessary.  Driving around aimlessly would be one of my special powers were I to be mutated into a superhero by some strange toxic goo, and there's not a passenger seat in the world that Julia hasn't made herself comfortable in at some point or another.  For what happens to John and Tony on the other hand,. you will simply have to wait until tomorrow dear reader!!
