Not enough triangle

[baloonworld]

A challange also set to aleksrothis:

Biscuit
34. Not Enough
42. Triangle

"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Biscuit screamed at the tree.
"What's wrong? and you oppressed and in need of salvation?" Paladin Blaine came running at the sound of distress.
"NOT ENOUGH TRIANGLE!" gestured Biscuit at the absence of geometric form which didn't lie on the ground in front of them.
"Errrr... okay then. I'll be over in the next village protecting the innocent if you need me."
"STUPID ABSENCE OF TRIANGLES! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed Biscuit. Very kindly, Biscuit had settled outside the town before he started screaming. Otherwise, how would people sleep?
"My mum had a triangle once." volunteered ranger Orchid appearing out of the undergrowth silently. Or at least much more quietly than the howling priest "My mum is awesome."
"We really need to get him laid under pleasant circumstances with a female of approximately the same species." thought Biscuit "His mother fixation may be enough to cripple his personal growth."
"THAT TRIANGLE NOT HERE!" Biscuit expounded "SO STILL NOT ENOUGH! THANKS THOUGH"
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Did I help?"
"If I say no he will talk more" thought Biscuit.
"YES"
With that assurance, Orchid vanished into the trees.
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" agreed Breeze, who had just arrived
"FOOLISH ABSENCE OF LINES!"
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"WHAT ARE WE SCREAMING AT? ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"LACK OF TRIANGLE!"
"DAMN THEM!!"
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Mr Skeleton stalked off the road and up to them, and shuffled his cards.
`What'
`You'
`Do'
`?'

"NO TRIANGLE!"
If ... then commands tumbled through Mr Skeleton's rudimentary programming
`Follow me and the bitch dies'
"YOUR ASSISTANCE IS NOTED. THANK YOU"

The minimalist dialog of Biscuit really pulled the piece together whilst the frugal use of internal monologue contrasted well with the tortured exclaiming.

I especially enjoyed your depiction of Mr Skeleton's inner turmoil as he wrestles with his strict programming and, of course, the resultant responses.

Mr Skeleton is a joy to write.
