Veronica blushes to the roots of her hair. "Well, sir you know I think that would be inappropriate of me to ask a cat on a date."

"By the way, Seymour asked me to pass this to you. He said that your application would indicate that this shrub would be a good addition on your Relto."

To: Professor Thietris
From: Seymour
I have placed a special rush order for you. The name of this species is Acacia greggii. Do enjoy it.

From the Diary of FM - explorer of the Badger Age
Well I think it can now safely said be we are DOOMED! Apparently the badgers have some sort of jamming device, that makes our linking books go fizzley, I think if I found any Relto pages lying around I wouldn't add them to my book for fear of Sirrus or Achenar coming out and trapping me in my Relto book or something...wouldn't be very fun anyway. Obviously the badgers have some sort of satellite working, we must find it and break it somehow so we can get out of this age, before the badgers and their spears find us again.

As I write this we are in one of the underground passages, I can guarantee you don't want to know of all the tears that had to be cried to get us here. Yes, that means I'm not going to tell you! I don't care if you really do want to know, I'm not telling it unless you get me very drunk, and I don't think there is enough acorn mead in the underground for me to tell you...just as Speedy.

Anyway, we're in an underground passage and we've hit a crossroads. While we're on the subject of hitting, Speedy and Dr Warrell have nearly come to blows of which way we're going to go. Speedy is of the belief we should go to the way that takes us to the Mushroom Gardens, whereas Dr Warrell thinks the Homestead would be a wiser place to go. Personally I will go whichever way the badgers aren't, because as much as I love Elkae, I have no intention of being impaled on a badger's spear trying to save her, I'm just not that noble and am too addicted to living to want to give up the habit cold-turkey. Not to mention that the Institution has seen enough death for one month.

So whatever trepid adventurer or mysterious stranger finds this, know that someone else was here before you, and that these human bones lying beside this book mean something!!...


That we went to the Mushroom Gardens and Speedy killed DrWarell to resolve the argument.

With Kestryll's help, the forumites were able to get far down the tunnels and in the right direction. The tunnels were narrow so people could only walk single file; Grassie, MrD, frontmullet, Dr Warrell, and then Speedy. During this time, Speedy was having fun poking Dr Warrell with her talons, annoying him and giving him some pain, and in return, Dr Warrell was moaning as if he was being killed (hence the idea on why frontmullet thought Dr Warrell was being killed, but Speedy likes Dr Warrell too much to kill him and she doesn't do stuff like that)
After passing three badger checkpoints, something rather spontaneous happened: a hole appeared underneath Grassie and he fell into it. And since everyone was moving fast with Kestryll, they couldn't stop in time and so they fell down the hole too.
A few second later, there was a high pitch animal squeal and suddenly, a bird, three people, a ferret, and three badgers came out of the whole (well, one at a time anyways over a minute span) Apparently, the badgers that were behind them had caught up and had guessed to get ahead of them and surprise them. Instead, they ended up at the same spot at the same, so there were surprises for both parties. Since Grassie fell in first, he bit the badger he landed on (giving off the squeal) which lead the other forumites to get out of the whole (with some help of the pushing badger strength from underneath). So the forumites ran down the tunnels the way they came (amazing how Kestryll didn't hear anything!), passed the badger checkpoints again, alarming those badgers that something wasn't right, so THOSE badgers joined in on the chase.
So now, our five forumites are being chased by over 10 badgers in the underground tunnels. Will they be captured? Can they escape? Will they rescue Elkae? Will they ever get to taste the lovely brew of acorn mead or those chocolate pots that the replica of Speedy made in the A&C hotel? Stay tune until next time! Same badger time. Same badger channel!

Studying gives you knowledge. Knowledge is power. Power corrupts. I am learning how to be corrupt.

Elkae is having so much fun surfing, she's wandered far from the trail of her original objective.

Hmmmm. This gives me an idea for the Institution ....

Dear Professor Thietris,

I ran across this and thought it might give you an idea for the Institution.

Thank you, Veronica, that's very, er, kind of Seymour. Perhaps he can add it to my order for Coleus canina. Well, can't stand here chatting all- what? Oh, Grizz. Yes. Thinking caps on.

Would a Kemo theatre really work Elkae? I mean it would either be too bright or there would be rain...or I suppose we could just convert the auditorium into a theatre, not like Thietris ever uses it for anything important..

I'm so tired...went back to school today, only got home at 10pm, and have just finished my homework at 11pm and am slowly...falling...asleep. Will hopefully be online tommorrow at some point...g'night/morning all...

Elkae begins to get sleepy again since the coffee and muffins are yet to arrive. She sets the notebook down and closes her eyes for a couple of hours.

Off Topic FM, maybe we could turn the common room into the "Kemo Improv" ... not many lighting requirements for that. Get Cordelia to rig brollies to the bleachers ... okay. I see your point. Like most of my bright ideas, this one's all wet.

Elkae yawns and stretches, realizing she's dozed off in what she fondly refers to as one of her "senior moments". She decides to start reading "Wheel of Time" that Chuckles thoughtfully provided.

Hmmm. Ten volumes. He said the eleventh was due out next year. Plenty here to last me until then. Let's see, do I have to start with volume one?

Elkae spreads the set out and notices a small book sandwiched between volumes eight and nine entitled, "How to Pick a Lock."

Chuckles is the best!!

Elkae begins to dig in her black bag and at last retrieves a hairpin. Holding the manual in her left hand and the hairpin in the other, she sets to work.

Let's see, place hairpin in the lock and rotate (See Diagram A) ...

After a number of contorted faces and tongue twists, Elkae manages to pop the lock.

Awesome! Instead of "Wheel of Time," now I can read my Diary. I don't know how I keep losing the key to that thing.

Professor T, at Veronica's insistence, has called a meeting in the auditorium. He has explained the circumstances of Grizz's disappearance, and has organized a slide show in order to exhibit the note that Grizz sent to Veronica; the file printout; and last, the two strange pictures.

"If we could have the lights dimmed now, please ..."



Picture no. 1: The Larch.

"Oh, drat! Who loaded these slides?"



Picture no. 1: The Larch. The Larch.

"I bet it was that cat."

Merlin takes his Relto book off his belt and he and Ronda link out.

"So, how do you like it?"

"Oh, it's lovely," says the diety.

"Thank you. Here's my hood book."

Just as Ronda vanishes, Merlin realizes that he had it on the balcony page. He changes it to the other page and links out.
From down on the roof, he can see her up on the balcony.

"Hmm...beautiful lady on a balcony...me down here on the rooftop...interesting...

*goes into a complete recitation of the balcony scene from Hamlet*

Kestryll sits atop a roof high above the Institution Hood. He sips his coffee and turns to Kieth.

See? They always manage to find ways of getting out of places they shouldn't be.
^^^^
Who?
^^^^
Almech? Oh, the guy who was stuck down on level 48 that last time. Well, apparently the whole thing just compressed upwards. I spotted him on level 2 when I checked on the place afterwards.
^^^^
Them? Well I'm not sure, but I'd say that if they were in the elevator at the time then they went with the elevator to where ever it came from.
If they had stepped out, then they most likely just had to find the stairs and would have realized they were on say, level 3?
^^^^
No. Just a Theory of course.
^^^^
You're right. It is getting late, time to make the rounds. Hold down the roof then. Wink2
^^^^

Kestryll grins at Kieth for that last comment. Then he finishes his coffee, stands up, bows to Kieth and links out.

Bizzy excuses himself from the common room and sneaks out to see what's going on in the courtyard outside the classroom. He looks up to see Merlin on the roof holding the skull of Kadish.

Takes all kinds. Hope Ronda likes it.

The little gnome grabs a handful of shortbread cookies from the Egg Room (uh, that would be a total of two) and returns to the common room to await the next batch of slides.

*finishes recitation*

"You know Shakespeare?" says the woman.
"Yes, I have read a few of his plays," says the enchanted fellow.
"I suppose I should help you down now Ronda."

*he vanishes to his Relto then links to the balcony*

"Now, I would very much like to see what art concealed behind this stone tablet. I know what we can do to move it as well!"

*vanishes for about 5 minutes and then reappears with a medium-sized chunk of shroom from Teledahn and a watering can of water from Gira*

"Perfect!" says the marvel.

She takes the shroom and stuffs it behind the tablet while Merlin waters it.

"Okay, we should stop watering it before it gets pushed off the balcony."

It would really help to establish just one character name, and refer to yourself by name on occasion. It's hard to interact with a character whose name we can't figure out. Wink
