Almech, who had left the Institution and headed back to the city without anybody noticing, walks up the Great Stairs.

"Where is the building for the guild of writers? Kadish, as guildmaster, probably stored the descriptive book for Kadish Tolesa there..."

Noticing a big grate blocking a stairway, he looks at the D'ni written above it and makes out something that could be guild of writers (his D'ni was never very good). Almech raises his crowbar and prepares to move that grate out of his way.

As Boatingirl scrambled about her Relto to get supplies for the trip.

-Pickaxe
-Rope
-Cramp Ons
-Carabiners
-Utility Belt
-Relto Book
-Linking book to the A&C
-A variety of little tiny brushes
-Pink nail polish
-Sun tan lotion

*She links to the city because she can’t decide where to go, Eder Gira, or Teledahn. Eder Gira, or Teledahn. Eder Gira, or Teledahn. Eder Gira, or Teledahn. She thinks (Which is amazing). She walks to a table (which happens to have the open badger book on it)*
I know! I’ll flip a coin!
*She flips a quarter onto the table, it lands on the badger picture, and she slaps her hand down on the coin. Which results in her linking to the Badger age.

"Oooo..." FM moaned as he drank some tea. His head has felt better days, but his mind is not clouded with the ideas of killing badgers and skinning them...
"Dang, how hard did you hit him, doctor?" asked Grassie.
"Hard enough. Don't worry, it helps his mushroom head fever. He needs his brain to focus on something else besides the fever," explained Dr Osmostien.
"And how did you find that out?" asked Dr Warrell, still very confused on how peanuts can become rocket fuel.
"Oh, Ukoi did it for me vhen I had too many mushrooms,"
"So who is this Ukoi?" asked MrD.
"Do you vant to meet him?" asked Dr Osmostien.
"Umm... will he bite?" asked Speedy.
"No, I vouldn't think so, as long as you don't look like badgers, vhich you don't so I think you vill be ok. Follow me! He's in his part of the house," said Dr Osmostien as he walked out of the room.
The other forumites followed, (waiting after FM eventually got to his feet). Dr Osmostien led them through a kitchen and some sort of study before they came to a room where there was another osmo sitting, this time in front of some radio equipment.
"Ukoi! Ve have guests!" Dr Osmostien shouted with glee.
Ukoi turned around. Upon seeing these non-badger, non-osmo, and non-familiar forms, he blurted out:

"Ukoi! That is no vay to speak to guests!" said Dr Osmostien. He turned "I'm sorry for that..." he said as he walked over to Ukoi and talked to him.
"Ummm... what did he say?" asked MrD.
"I think something about bongos..." Speedy said.
Speedy said this loud enough that Ukoi heard her. He stopped speaking.
"Bongo?" he asked.
The forumites looked at one another.
"YUmmm... bongo...?" said Grassie, unsure of what he was doing.
"Oooo..." said Dr Osmostien as he backed off.
"What? What did we do?" asked Grassie, suddenly a little scared.
Suddenly, Ukoi pulled out a set of bongos and began to play them as he sang:
"Mama was queen of the mambo
Papa was king of the Congo
Deep down in the jungle
I started bangin' my first bongo
Every monkey'd like to be
In my place instead of me
Cause I'm the king of bongo, baby
I'm the king of bongo bong
I went to the big town
Where there is a lot of sound
From the jungle to the city
Looking for a bigger crown
So I play my boogie
For the people of big city
But they don't go crazy
When I'm bangin' in my boogie
I'm the "king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong"
Hear me when I come
King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
They say that I'm a clown
Making too much dirty sound
They say there is no place for little monkey in this town
Nobody'd like to be in my place instead of me
Cause nobody go crazy when I'm bangin' on my boogie
I'm the king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
Hear me when I come
"King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong"
Bangin' on my bongo all that swing belongs to me
I'm so happy there's nobody in my place instead of me
I'm a king without a crown hanging loose in a big town
But I'm the king of bongo baby I'm the king of bongo bong
King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
Hear me when I come, baby, king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong..."
Eventually, Speedy, Grassie, MrD, Dr Warrell, and even FM began to dance to the bongo tune. Once it was over, those five applauded.
"That was good," said Dr Warrell.
"Oooo... my head,..." moaned FM.
"Ugabonga platobo mintiki teia," said Ukoi.
"Uh?" said Speedy and Grassie.
"Oh, sorrwie. I sed drink mint plant tea. Good for head bangings," said Ukoi.
"Wow, you do know English!" said MrD.
"Vell, how else vould you think you vould talk to him?" Dr Osmostien chuckled.

“Well I guess I’m going to Teledahn! But I’ll need a sample from the ceiling.” *She starts hooking up her gear. Climbs to the ceiling, when she hears scuffling noises coming from the other end of the tunnel. A badger comes into view, carrying a rather nasty looking spear.*
*Upon seeing the strange human strapped to the ceiling carrying a rather frightening looking scythe-like thing (Pickaxe) lets out a small yelp, and turns around and scuttles away to report.*
*Boatingirl smiles and jumps down, runs, and tries to pet him. He turns around, and bares his teeth. Boatingirl, startled, just stares blankly. Then the badger runs faster, and Boatingirl follows, only more trepid.*
*As the Badger runs around the corner, Boatingirl peeks over, and sees a seemingly normal wall, but a crack in it. Being the Geologist that she is, she realizes that it is not a natural crack.* “Hmmm, I wonder where he went”, and slaps the wall. Which opened the door.
You won’t believe what was on the other side...

OOC

Between the fateful day of April 3 and today, April 21, a change had taken place. Somewhere in the intertwined and not so entwined posts, between the elevations of wit and humour, and on at least one occasion, the depths of perceived dispair, a slow and at the same time hurried, almost imperceptible change had occured.

Since that fateful day, in the over 1,577 posts and the 22,442 plus views, in the sometimes irreverent mix of threads of truth, emotion, fact and fancy it had happened, a community of neighbors was born, the Experimental Program One was opened to all, by a squirrel no less.

As real as any neighborhood you might drive or walk through, yearn to live in, and visit again and again. Whether it called you to observe or participate, it had achieved an almost indefinable quality that keeps drawing one back with anticipation and excitement, a sense of adventure, longing even, a special secret place shared with friends.

For this traveler, to participate in such and online forum, it was a brave step, one he had never taken before, or thought he even desired to. A journey into an realm never before explored. Along the way, he had met and come to very deeply appreciate some truly original, imaginative, intelligent and caring human beings who, spanning ages from young to old, had not lost the joy, and knew the value of community, caring, play and sharing.

Before I turn in, I just wanted to be sure all you knew, how really wonderful I think this is, and to say thanks for letting me come and play in your sandbox! Smile

"You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind; a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead - your next stop, the Twilight Zone!" Rod Serling

That signpost is a Bahro pole, and you have just entered, the URU Zone.

Dr Osmostien got FM some tea. Sure enough, it made his head feel much better.
"Ahhh. That is good... thanks..." said FM.
"Your velcome," said Dr Osmostien.
"So, you try to get into prison?" asked Ukoi to the others.
"Yes, a friend of ours in trapped in there..." said Grassie.
"Well, she did get convicted of a crime..." said MrD.
"Whatever. We want to bring her home!" said Speedy.
"So, you try to get into prison?" asked Ukoi again.
"Yes!" said Grassie.
"Hrm... difficult indeed. Many badgers. With big sharp pointy sticks. Hurt... I know, I had a few in me, but it was to make new piercing," Ukoi said as he pointed to his nose.
"Oh... lovely..." said Dr Warrell.
"What is outside?" asked FM.
"Rocketship. Me protect it from badgers. They want our fuel," said Ukoi.
"Yes, the new fuel I made up: peanut oil!" said Dr Osmostien.
Some of the forumites chuckled.
"Vhat?" Vhat is vrong?" asked Dr Osmostien.
"Sorry... but we know peanut oil to be a kind of cooking oil back home," explained Speedy.
"Oh, you cook with peanuts? Vhy? They are veeds," said Dr Osmostien.
"Veeds?" chuckled FM.
"I think he means weeds..." whispered Grassie.
"Oh, they're quite tasty, I can assure you..." said MrD.
"And so are mushrooms. But mushrooms bad for head. Make head fever. Not good at all," said Ukoi.
"So why is peanut oil so precious then?" asked Dr Warrell.
"Vell, the Ole Badger vants it to power his buildings and I am the only one vho knows the process. So to keep me here and to satisfy his power needs, he keeps on sending badger enforcements here," explained Dr Osmostien.
"And then I count down from ten and then play my bongos!" said Ukoi.
"They don't like bongos..." said Dr Osmostien.
"Ahh... I see..." said Grassie.
"Anywho, could you help us get into the prison and help us save our friend?" asked Speedy.

*Boatingirl walks into the room.* What! There’s nothing here!
*She looks around the room, and sees nothing.*
Great. A dead end. Oh well, I still have my Relto book. *Slaps her Relto book, and nothing happens.* Oh great it’s on the fritz. *she sits down in the corner, and turns on the headlamp. Then notices something she hadn’t before. A box full of dark red gooey stuff.* What’s that? *She walks over, and puts her finger in it, and licks it.*Hmmm, oh I get it! The linking books are JAMMED! MMMMMM, it’s raspberry! *she glances at the side of the box and sees a button, and a label. The picture of the Badger is near it. “Emergency Link Out” What does this do? *she presses the button, and disappears, reappearing in the seat at the table with the Badger book.*

Almech walks up the stairway, and discovers why it was blocked off. The stairs crumbled beneath his weight and found himself falling, his relto book disappearing. He lands in a small cave below Ae'gura, and happily discovers his KI still working. He leaves a message on the Institution imager:

Help! I'm trapped in a small cave beneath Ae'gura! My coordinates are 61368, 49, -300.

A traffic cone comes flying out of the Common Room and swishes down the stairs and screeches to a halt in front of the Imager. Kestryll runs out after it and vaults the railing, lands in the fountain and runs up to the oddly immobile cone.

He glares down at it. It twists around then twists back. He gives it a light kick. it tips back and knocks him on the knee. He finally looks up and sees Almech's message on the imager. Then he bends down and whispers to it.


Get your friends together and see what you can do. Maybe I'll leave the lot of you alone for a week... Just stay out of the DISCO!

The cone suddenly spins around, bounces back, hops up and down a couple of times then zips off towards the Nexus Book.

Great. Now I have to find something else to occupy myself for a week...

Somewhere several pages ago, Ronda has collapsed in the Egg Room entrance while watching the goings-on in Thietris' office.
After regaining the ability to breathe, she then had to wait for the hiccups to ease before even getting up. You know, the kind where your breastbone collapses against your spine, squishing whatever unimportant bits might be sitting around doing nothing in between. Like your heart and thymus and mediastinum and whatnot.

Keeping herself well out of the way of the muttering cones, she finally picks herself up, dusts herself off...and makes a break for WHOOPS.

She is stopped, however, by Boatingirl's note re sandstone and quartz.
"Hm! The GZ crystals don't have the right cleavage patterns, though. Quartz crystals are hexagonal...aren't they?" Not so sure at this point, and thinking the GZ crystals look more like the giant selenite crystals found recently in a cave in Mexico she'd seen photos of once, she decides to have a quick gander at the GZ.

As she links out, she realizes she STILL hasn't been into WHOOPS! Dazed
