From the Diary of FM - explorer of the Badger Age
I am not dead yet. Although this may disappoint many readers it suprises me more than anything. We are currently holed up in a tiny room sleeping in shifts in case a badger patrol find us. Dr Warrell sings in his sleep, something which I find both strange and disturbing...he is NOT a lumberjack and if he keeps singing he will NOT be okay....although I would give a limb or two for some of those buttered scones right now.

Our diet for the past few days has bee very varied. For breakfast we had roast mushrooms, for lunch - boiled mushrooms, and for dinner we had baked mushrooms. Hopefully tommorrow at some point we can have badger stew, although even that will probably have a side of mushrooms. If anyone dares open any sort of cafe in the Institution that sells mushrooms they will have to answer to...something bad. Possibly the Algae..

Whilst everyone has been sleeping (except for Speedy, who has been on guard with me), I have devised many plans for escape from this dreaded age. One of them involves sacrificing everyone else and running for my life, although I feel that may be somewhat frowned upon by everyone else.

Plan B involves luring the badgers away from their comrades one by one, and killing them in ingenious ways such as by slamming a door into their face, hitting them over the head with dried mushrooms, and throwing rocks at them. Then not only do we get food but we can wear the badger skins and escape...although there is a slight EWW factor in that plan...maybe we just kill the badgers, find whatever is jamming our linking, get Elkae (if we can) and then get out of this Age...I would say burn the book afterwards but I feel this Age could be a useful place if we don't like anyone...or if anyone sings the Badger Song one time too many.

I shall once again conclude my entry by saying that if you find this journal near a pile of bones that are not belonging to a badger, you are a lucky person for getting this far, privilaged to be reading our tales, and I really hope for your sake you like mushrooms..

Professor T went for an early-morning jog around the Institution. The strangely peculiar stranger in the light garden, on seeing the professor approach, quickly touched his Relto book and linked out.

The professor was thinking about Boatingirl's findings. Those Great Zero crystals - so they were made of quartz, possibly. Could naturally occurring crystals really grow to that size? Or had they been manufactured?

Should he try ordering a flatulent elm from Whoops? [The origin of the name is lost in history. Legend has it that they should really be called ting trees. A botanist, exploring a foreign land, saw a group of unusual looking trees on the horizon. He pointed them out to a native, who said "Ah, yes. The distant ting trees." Though this might have lost something in the translation.]

Grizz gets up early on his Relto and does a little laundry. Suits are okay now and then, but that tie just has to go! He puts on some clothes that are still a little damp, and does a couple of cloud dives to finish the drying.

He thinks about what Veronica had been talking about...
quote:
"So I was thinking, back in this corner we could display the Gucci bags and then over here would be the..." Her suggestions continue on for a good long while.


A little bemused, he thinks..."Why not? The DISCO has a little of everything, why not a little high fashion too. It might just raise the tone of the hood.

He goes to the books and heads for the DISCO.

Veronica linked into the Institute and skipped lightly down the stairs to the DISCO. It certainly was going to be a wonderful day. Grizz was back and in one piece and her father had called to say he might be stopping by to check on her. Perhaps he would be so impressed with her accomplishments he would allow her to come home.

She decided to get breakfast first and yelled, "Good morning!!", into Professor Thietris's office as she passed by.

Grizz peeked into the Prof.'s office on the way to the egg room for breakfast, saw him reading a book on Cornish nuts, and decided it wasn't a good time to bother the man...er...squirrel...about his plans for a new organization to aid Bahro/human relations.

After several shifts and a few hours sleep, FM was beginning to get restless...They had spent quite some time stuck in a small cramped room with badgers most likely sitting on the other side of the door..Eventally, FM couldn't take it anymore, and got up and started walking towards the door.

"What are you doing!?" Speedy said, her eyes blinking to try and wake up as she stood up.

"I'm checking to see what's outside. If there's nothing outside we should try and move on, or at least try to figure out how the badgers are blocking out linking books." As he finished the sentence his hand was almost on the lock.

"Wait! If we're going to go anywhere shouldn't we wake up the others?" Speedy said, applying logic to somewhere where it didn't belong..

FM however ignored her, and unlocked the door and opened it a crack. He peered outside into an empty corridor. He slowly edged the door open, until the door was about halfway open, and then he stopeed suddenly.

"What are you...?" Speedy started to ask..

FM didn't give her a chance to finish her sentence, and he suddenly swung the door all the way back with all his strength. These was a loud crunching noise behind the door. FM then walked out the door, and came back several seconds later dragging an unconcious badger. He then went back outside, and came back with a small, sharp spear.

"I think that went well, don't you?" He said to Speedy, closing and locking the door behind him, and propping the spear up against the door.

"Yes Einstein, bringing a badger in here is the single most intelligent thing you could have done." Speedy replied.

"Was that sarcasm?" FM replied, uncertain.

"...I'm not sure. Anyway, we better try tieing(sp?) him up, so that when he wakes up we don't get attacked.." Speedy said, wandering away to get some ropes..

Making haste to finish breakfast, Veronica called out a warm good morning to Grizz as he entered the Eggroom and she left to go to the store. She wanted to be working hard if or when her father made an appearance. Putting on her "Manager" nametag, she espied a note from the Professor sitting on the counter: Grizz, need one brazier.

Blushing profusely, Veronica went in search of one.

Unfortunately, the Professor had been in a hurry to write the note and his pensquirrlship suffered. As a result, instead of braizer Veronical thought it said blaizer and headed for the computer to pull up the Gucci webpage.

Grizz chuckles over his scrambled eggs. Veronica's proposed changes to the DISCO have begun to appeal to his whimsical nature. And the whole hood could use a bit of an upgrade anyway.

He finishes his toast, and heads to the DISCO to see what Veronica has decided to do.

George, in the meantime, has been one very busy (never to be confused with Bizzy) squee. Stopping for only a few hours sleep, he has managed to move the Bahro Stele to a prominant but non-obstructing place on the porch, converted one of the rooms into a treatment/minor surgery area, converted another room into a master bedroom for Shiloh and Ted and is now currently installing computer-lock cabinets in the medication room. Industrious sounds echo down from the open balcony door, attracting the attention of several Traffic Cones who, deeming the coast to be clear, (but the DISCO too 'hot' at the moment) come to investigate.

Speedy groaned as she searched for ropes. First of all, her body was soooo tired from all of the running, flying, and carrying she's done in the past few hours/days(?) Secondly, FM decided to bring in a badger, and does this before checking out the rest of the room! With her flashlight, she scours the room.
Alas, the only other thing in the room was another door. Probably a closet, she thought as she walked over. She opeend it and her beak dropped.
It wasn't a closet, but it was some stairs going up...
"Frontmullet! Come here!" Speedy yelled.
"What? Too much rope found?" asked FM.
"No, stairs!"
"Then go up them,"
"Okkkay... just letting you know..." Speedy said as she went up the stairs. Once she got to the top, there was another door. She opened it very slowly, letting light creep into the stairwell. She poked her head through the doorway and looked through the room.
There was a table, with a person sitting at it. To the right of the table, was a chalkboard with all sorts of writing on it. And on the table, there was some mechanical device. The person looked at the door.
"Vhy hello there! Come in!" said the person with a not-quite-German accent.



"oh, thank you, sir..." Speedy said as she came into the room.
"Oh...don't call me sir. Call me Dr E. Osmostien, scientist of the cosmos! Vell... maybe just of this mushroom vorld," said the scientist, Dr Osmostien.
"Well, thank you Dr Osmostien. My name is Speedyserd, just Speedy for short..." said Speedy.
Dr Osmostien stood up and walked over to Speedy. He pulled out a magnifying glass from his fron pocket.
"Vhat an interesting creature you are... a bird that can speak! I can barely get vords out of these bloody badgers here!" Dr Osmostien said as he began to inspect Speedy.
"Umm.. I was wondering if you would happened to have any rope?" asked Speedy.
"Rope? Vhy vould you need it? To tie up some badgers? Bah! They're too strong for rope... if anything, just leave them vhere they lie," Dr Osmostien said.
"Well, convience my friend downstairs," Speedy said as she pointed at the door.
"Okay, I shall try... is there a chalkboard down there?" he asked.
"Ummm... I don't know," replied Speedy.
"Bah, it doesn't matter. Come on Speedy!" Dr Osmostien said as he went to the door and walked down the stairs. Speedy followed behind.

*TLG has an idea*
If Speedy and Merlin/Mysti did it, then so can I.
*TLG somehow splits himself into three TLGs (don't ask)*
*TLG tells Copy #1 to tend the A&C.*
*TLG tells Copy #2 to tend Heek Inc.*
*TLG and Copy #1 walk out.*
*Copy #1 links out.*
*TLG walks around looking for anything to do.*

Chuckles58 is out through the streets and stairs of Ae'gura doing his morning run (seem to always run in this game, who needs to do it for exercise?).

He stops at the observation point between the Hall of Kings and the Library, overlooking the broken bridge. He decides to practice his yodeling, a lost art he learned a little of from his grandfather years ago (he actually yodelled when he sneezed).


YODELADEEHOO ... "Your old lady who?" was the echo through the cavern.

Hmmpf HELLO ... "HELLOO Helloo helloo"

Now batting for the Dodgers, Manny Mota ... He hears a ballpark organ going through the usual charge theme

Shell Shocked Sherman Shoves Shovels at Shapely Sheep Shears... ... "Huh?"

I'M AN IDIOT ... "You're an idiot"

He resumes his morning workout. As he is doing his stairs training on the Great Stairs, he notices a familiar box on the next to last landing, just up from the entrance to the Kahlo Pub. Next to a mountain of empty Pizza Hut boxes is the box of used tennis shoes. It has a sign taped to it that said "Trash/Basura"

Now how'd this get here? Why would Kestryll have had it, and why would it be set out in the trash? He opened the box and noticed a few more pair of smelly sneakers have been added. Great, the more the merrier. I'll just have to run this over to Cordelia a bit later.

Merlin walks to the classroom.

"What mammal through yonder doorway waits?"
No answer.
Merlin walks in and puts the J'nanin, Amateria, Voltaic, Edanna, and Narayan linking books on the most noble Professor's desk.

"Now, onward to the Eggroom, breakfest, and the apple of my eye."

And he goes out and then in the very next door.

Veronica had taken a break from trying to find a gucci blazer on the internet small enough for Professor Thietris and walked over to the WHOOPS store to say good morning to Seymour. "Hello there, precious." He jumped into her arms and licked her cheek. "Aww...so sweet! Stop by and see me later."

Walking back to the DISCO, she noticed that someone had changed the welcome sign. Instead of "For more information, go to the classroom" it now read this.

"Hmm...I wonder how the Professor will feel about that?"
