*The Capture*[[EVERYONE INVOLVED]]

[Much]

Much's mouth opened as Rosetta chose to canter away. "Wuh-HEY!" he shouted, as both Allan and Robin followed in hot persuit. He clambered down from his drivers seat, and also ran in the same direction. He had a lot of catching up to do, they had all gone very far down the road.

Much's brow furrowed, and he stopped running as Rosetta got down from her horse. He couldn't hear what she was saying, but she had drawn her sword. Carter was also running towards her, and it seemed he had also unsheathed his sword. Much stood where he was. He didn't know what to do. Go back and guard the carriage, or go help the outlaws. He turned around to face the carriage, and then grumbled as he continued running towards Lady Rosetta. He was guessing the Outlaws needed all the help they could get.

[Lady Rosetta Court]

Rosetta had enough. She kissed Allan. "Alright lets do this." she said and put her sword away. She went behind a tree and took her things off. Someone handed her a blanket. She wrapped it around her body and picked up the clothes. She handed them to Allan. "Ok. What do we need to do now?" she asked looking confused.

[Allan A'Dale]

Allan sighed. Now for the embarrassing bit. At least he wasn't too tall, he mused. Rosetta was only a few inches shorter than him. It would be worse if the hem had been over his knee.

He dragged his feet over to a nearby bramble patch and ducked behind it to pull on the embroidered white satin. It was fiddly. To be honest, a little too fiddly. He sighed again.

"Right, who knows most about women's clothes here? I'm only really good at taking them off. There's way too many buttons on this thing."

[Carter]

Carter waited a few metres away, for the worst. But it seemed that after Allan's little hissy fit, that Rosetta was responding. Carter loosened his grip on his sword and hunched his shoulders. Thank goodness for that.

As Rosetta and Allan kissed, Carter raised an eyebrow. After all that woman had done, Allan still managed to let her do that. Well, that was Allan. He chose to look away awkwardly, and he put his hands on his hips and looked over at Robin. He cocked his head to one side, and was about to ask whether he was alright, until Allan raised his question. "Me!" Carter said abruptly, and walked over shaking his head at his comment. "What the hell are you doing? You numpty." Carter said with a laugh, yanking at the dress that was apparently stuck.

[Lady Rosetta Court]

"Well I just buy mine." Rosetta shrugged. She then smiled trying to hold back her laughter. "Sorry you look so silly." she said to Allan. She turned away.

[Robin Hood]

Robin just let the other outlaws get on with it and, finally, Rosetta seemed to cooperate. Very gingerly, he pulled a fairly clean cloth from the pouch on his belt and wound it carefully around the more injured of his hands. But, with both hands incapacitated, he couldn't pull it tight or knot it as a bandage.

Frustrated, he looked up for someone to help him then caught sight of Carter helping Allan into the wedding dress. If Robin hadn't been in so much pain right then, he would have roared with laughter.

[Lady Rosetta Court]

Rosetta looked around. "Darn its Sabbat tonight. I cant do anything until I have done my ritual." said Rosetta. She started to panic. "I need to get to my Altar which is in this very forest." she said.

[Allan A'Dale]

"Sorry you look so silly."

"You look cold," he said pointedly, in response to Rosetta. He was feeling more than a little hard done by at present. As Carter managed to wrestle the dress into some semblance of order, he looked at his feet.

"I s'pose I'm going to have to go barefoot," he mused miserably. "Boots ain't gonna look right."

The veil was - lacy. Of course it was. He jammed it on his head and crossed his arms defensively over his chest, waiting for the inevitable onslaught of laughter.

"Darn its Sabbat tonight. I cant do anything until I have done my ritual."

"Yeah, tonight. It's noon, ain't it? An' Sabbat? What the hell's that?"

[Lady Rosetta Court]

Rosetta was out of laughter. She grabbed some clothes that were from her horse's saddlebags. "Glad I came prepared." She said getting the black corset and skirt on. She slipped on her black boots then mounted Daredevil again. "I must leave. Sabbat is upon all Witches. I must do what the Goddess has entented me to do." she smiled.

[Allan A'Dale]

"So you are a witch! It's true! And you go round telling people? Rosetta, do you have a death wish or something? Do you know what the Sheriff did to poor Mathilda? She would have died in Locksley pond if it weren't for us!"

He wasn't sure how else to react. Robin had often teased him for his superstitions, but he was still pretty nervous of anything like that. Forces he didn't understand....spooky. He liked Rosetta...maybe more than liked her, but he just couldn't get a handle on the woman. But mucking about with witches seemed like asking for trouble.

[Much]

Much ran forewards towards Robin. He was hurt. Much could even tell from far away. He stumbled loudly over until he was by Robins side. "Robin..?" he started, giving a quick glance over at Allan's direction. He couldn't help but let a large laugh escape his lips, but he then turned his attention back to Robin. His hands...were bleeding. Much winced and started to panic. "Ruh-Robin! You're hands!" he said, a panic stricken face forming. "What...What should I do?" He didn't have any bandages with him.

Robin's hands were essential. They were the things that did the best of the sword fighting, fist fighting, and arrow shooting out of everyone in their whole gang. He was leader for a reason. Much frowned, and untied his scarf from around his heck. He wrapped it messily around Robin's hands. It was the best he could do, or even think of at this stage. Much was never the medical one of the group, or even the smart one.

He just hoped someone would appear that could help him.

[Kate]

Kate rolled her eyes impatiently. Of course she was a bloody witch had no one listened to her? Kate had informed them of her witchie was almost a dozen times now and they still hadn’t believed her. Kate glared at Allan but not for long the sight of him in a wedding dress was far to amusing and a sight she was sure she would never get the chance to see again. With a sight she stepped forward behind Allan and pulled the dress up round his neck and tied the top two strings in to a neat little bow. The dress was tight around his neck obviously being made for a woman whose neck was half the size of his.

“Can you breathe?” Kate peered over Allan’s shoulder with a smirk firmly planted on her pale face. Carefully she continued to tie each tie until it came to his shoulders and as much as she pulled the ties together they would not budge. “You have to breathe in. Maybe we should get Much to put you on a special diet.”

"Ruh-Robin! You're hands!"

Muchs worried voice caught her attention and Kate’s head snapped up as she dropped her hold on the wedding dress. The insides of her stomach shifted uncomfortably as she darted to Robin’s side. What had happened? Kate scowled to her self for being too amused by Allan to notice that Robin was hurt.

“Wait here,” Kate called as she ran back to Allan and Rosetta. “Don’t mind me just need to steal a bit of your dress.”
Kate had thought about using some fabric from her own dress but it would be to thick and hard to rip so instead she swooped down and pulled up the bottom of the wedding dress and ripped a length of the petticoat.

“Here let me look,” Kate sighed returning to Robin and Much.

[Carter]

Kate's help was much appreciated, since Carter honestly had no idea what he was doing. Although of course, he would never admit it. The dress was now in about the best state it would be, and Carter stood back to admire their handywork. He scratched his chin and nodded, satisfied, stiffling a huge laugh.

"Right." he said as Allan put on the veil. "There's still something missing." he said, looking at Allan mischieviously. "You lack in certain..." he chuckled and shook his head. "Well, you know." he said, jesturing to where the bust section of Allan's dress was. He bit his lip to restrain himself from laughing, but he couldn't resist.

Much's cry alerted him, and it seemed Kate was already on the case. Before he knew it, part of the dress had been ripped, and Carter raised an eyebrow. Why the dress was ripped would take some explaining to Prince John. He walked slowly over to Robin, not wanting to crowd him, to see what was going on.

[Robin Hood]

Robin's face was grim as he took the scarf from Much and wrapped it around the hand that was bleeding the most. At least, if anything, it staunched the blood for the time being. "Thanks, Much," Robin peered out under his eyebrows at his faithful friend then he examined his other hand. This one was not as bad as he had first thought. The skin was red and grazed but not badly torn.

“Here let me look,”

Robin looked up at Kate and held out his hand. "I can't believe I was so stupid to let the reins tear through my hands." He said through gritted teeth as Kate began her ministrations (scuse pose). Rather than look at what Kate was doing, and it really did hurt like hell, Robin gazed over her shoulder and concentrated on Much's face. He could hear snatches of the faint conversation going on between Allan and Rosetta. It seemed like Rosetta was adamant that she had to leave. "Whats her problem now?" Robin asked Much. "Ouch!"

[Much]

Much sniffed as Robin asked what was going on. "I dunno. She seems to have loads of problems." he said under his breath, scratching his head. "Something about Rosetta being a witch and having to do some..." he flailed his arms in the air, "Witchy ceremony thing. I don't know really, I'm not really paying attention." Witches confused him. He himself preferred the idea of God and Heaven. They were much nicer things to think about.

Much flinched at Robins pain. "Ooooh, Robin!" he gasped. "How can we carry on with the plan if you're hands are like that? The whole plan is ruined!" he cried exasperatedly. He cupped his hands on his head and span around in a panic.

[occ. Allans gone now - but I won't lock the thread. We just need to make sure that the thread doesn't move on too much. ]
