Merlin looks down at Ronda. She looks as
if she was asleep.
"Strange...if I ever get this
open I'll wait for her to wake up before I
continue."

Veronica is so outraged she is
momentarily speechless as she hurries along to keep the
umbrella over Kestryll's head. Until they reach the cave
entrance that is, where she runs full force into the
cave and the umbrella, unable to fit through the
entrance, gets slammed into the outer wall and is
crushed and folds inside out, completely
ruined.
quote:
Now, you dragged me out here, the least you're going
to do is hold the umbrella so I don't ruin my hair, or
my new Ermenegildo Zegna shirt. This way.
Cordelia goes into her office and sits
down at her computer. She notices that she has an email
from Elkae. She sits and reads it.
My dearest
Cordelia,
There is something I need desperately
and, since you're the most responsible person I know,
may I ask you to handle it for me?
I need one of
these. I'm sure you can get one from
the DISCO. If Grizz gives you any guff, tell him I need
it. And if you have any doubts at all about the
composition, you may want to let Dr. Boatingirl have a
look at it.

Prison Cell #1, The Big House
"Ah dear
Elkae" she smiles as she thinks about her friend, "I'll
go to the DISCO straight away and see if Grizz has
any."
Logging out of email (well she doesn't want
Bizzy reading her private messages) she sets off to the
DISCO on her
mission.

Viv: Whatcha doin'? Mer: Trying to
get this door open... Viv: That's not a door,
sweets. Mer: Well of course it's a door. I mean look
at it. It's just there's no door handle or
anything. Viv: If you look there's also no hinges, or
creases, or seams of any sort. It's just for looks,
sweets. That's why there was a stone in front of
it. Mer: But... Viv: No, buts, sweets. The Bahro
have requested that you replace that stone. Now if
you'll excuse me I have a ton of errands to run as
apparently Kestryll has been hijacked by that
high-strung de-bew-taunt from the DISCO. Mer:
But... Viv: No buts! By the way, Ronda is it? Love
your hair, and those ear-rings are absolutely fabulous.
I'll have to find out where you got them
later.
Before Merlin can try again she smiles
sweetly to Ronda and does a backflip off the railing
landing atop the Eggroom roof. She hops up to the ledge
and makes another backflip to land on the ground in
front of the Eggroom door. She strolls in and
finishes her restock then links
out.
__________________________ The coffee
is safe now. Biscotti anyone?
Cordelia arrives in the DISCO and looks
around. Still no sign of Grizz and now Veronica seems to
have disappeared too.
"Oh well, I'll just have
to go searching myself then."
She wanders around
the shelves hoping that she will find what she wants
before she has to go down to sub-level 3. She's heard
strange stories about what goes on down there. Suddenly
she starts to think about Ronda and Merlin again, but
then she remembers that they are safely on the balcony
and continues her search.
Eventually she finds
what she has been looking for.
"Ah here we are,
just what Elkae wanted. Now all I need to do is to work
out how to send it to her."

I
wouldn't go any further than that, Veronica. You
might go somewhere...wahoom... Too late.
You know, for a store clerk she's got a nice
selection of outfits. Must be second hand. No way could
she be getting paid enough to afford those shoes. Mental
note to self, take Veronica shopping for some
real clothes when we get back.
Kestryll
strolls down the cave and mumbles something about
ruining his new umbrella just before he's forced to link
by the drawing on the
floor.
__________________________ The

Veronica stands in the cave, listening
to Yeesha once again. "Yes-yes, I did not listen the
first time and I will not be listening now, but heek, I
loathe not being able to use my Relto book here
and being forced to jump and panic link. Honestly, was
this really necessaryyyyyyyyyy."
*after Vivian left, Merlin looks back at
the door*
"Not a door?! Preposterous! There
aren't any hinges, creases, handles, or seams on any of
the other doors around here either! Look at the Museum,
Library, hood, and GZ doors! Are there any
there? No.
And I will put the stone
back. Once we see what's on the other side of the
DOOR.
(P.S. Ronda's asleep
Viv!)

Psst. Welcome to the forums. People
are only asleep if we let them. Otherwise we take over
their characters and make them follow the story we set
for them. Until they get back of course.
