Kestryll has a Blonde Moment. He's
currently standing in his Relto after panic linking from
the Bahro Cave and realizing that he and Veronica should
have jumped together as they are now in their own
Reltos.
He shrugs and changes some of the items
in his pack. Then standing in front of his book shelf he
tries to think of the best place to meet up with
Veronica again. He finally decides on the DISCO and
links over to the Institution Hood.
He leaves a
note on the DISCOs counter informing Veronica that he's
down the aisles somewhere in case she happens to stop
by. Then promptly goes to get himself
lost.

"Elevator? What's this about an elevator?
I've heard unsettling rumors about the one's people have
tried to install here. I don't want to try to get to the
upper levels and wind up in the Twilight
Zone."

Bizzy puts his head in his hands and
shakes.
C'mon down here so I don't have to
yell.
Bizzy waits patiently while George
makes a somewhat awkward attempt to retrace his steps.
Finally, he arrives at Bizzy's level.
Sortof.
George, you see those three doors
right through there? The one over by itself is main the
elevator. We're waiting for Stellaflora to tell us where
it goes, but we've stopped holding our
breath.
George nods in
understanding.
Now those two doors over there
across from the elevator are [I've decided] hallways
that lead to a near infinite number of private rooms and
the only known "safe" elevators at the
Institution.
The elevator you definitely want to
stay away from is the one in the DISCO. The one that
doesn't exist but that people keep using anyway. You're
on your own, there.
Got it?
Bizzy looks
up at the giant squee and waits patiently for a
response.
"Okay, we've got a 'safe' elevator. But we
also lack a map to said infinate hallways and private
rooms. Find me a map so I can find that particular room
quickly and I'll think about it." The squee points to
the balcony. "In the meantime, I've got to get that
place set up as a medic station ASAP, so I'm gonna put
in a couple of temporary ladders."

up my free trial of Paint Shop Pro and finding Window's
Paint to be irritatingly limited. Hope to start doing
funny photo maniupulations once I find the cash to buy
the frelling Paint Shop. )
George glares at Bizzy and waits with
strained politeness for him to get over his
hysterics.
"Hello!" he finally says. "I've got
less than 24 hours to get that room functional and I
don't have time to explore my way to it. Especially when
I *have* a way to get there immediately.
Ta."
With that, George jumps, latches onto the
wall and easily climbs to the balcony. Once he gets
there, he makes a sudden realization.
"George,
George! Never let yourself get nettled like that. You
went and left the ladders down there with
Bizzy!"
Vivian just happens to be walking by
and squiggling her finger in her ear a few times
comments,
If it's going to be used as a medic
station, why not just have someone write a link for it.
That way it won't matter where you are you can get to it
quickly.
She squiggles her finger in her ear
again and mutters about the stupid babble fish getting
too far in. She pulls it out and glares at it. Then
sticks it back into her ear and continues on her
way.

Bizzy can't believe the words he hears coming out of
Viv's mouth.
Write a linking book? Do you
want to get us all fired? No, no, no. Nobody here knows
how to do that the old way. It's much too dangerous.
Don't even speak of such things!
Chuckles58 wanders over to his
bookcase, looking for a recipe for Dandelion soup. He
reaches for the book, only to find that inside the
tattered and torn dust jacket, finding inside volume 10
of the WOT series.
That good-for-nothing
Inigo, he pulled a prank on me and switched the covers
on my books. Well, I guess I won't be repairing the
transmission on my '64 Porsche this weekend.
And furthermore, there's no way I'll be able to
identify which species Rally Monkey is without that
'arkin animal dictionary'. Frell that AgentMontoya.
Maybe that explains why my coffee tasted salty and the
hashbrowns tasted like maple syrup.
Oh, good, I
still have my secret copy of "The Secret Solution to
Rubik's Cube".
He presses the little book
close to his heart. Fortunately, he found a suitable recipe on the internet. But too bad
about the Porsche.

Was there anything else I have
in my possession that you needed? If there is, come get
it before I trash it. And leave the skunk wig at home
this time.
Please.

Chuckles58 remembers the notice
Cordelia had circulated, requesting old tennis shoes for
orphan kids. He goes to the closet for this box of well
worn sneakers, then links over to the Institution, runs
up to Cordelia's office and places it on her desk. He
moved the box that was on her desk onto the
floor.
Wouldn't want Cordelia to miss this,
as those orphans could use these shoes.
He
links back to his office to fix a quick box of Kraft
macaroni and cheese and watch 'Wheel of
Fortune'.
Kestryll, you were too
quick sending Viv for Elkae's box, fortunately there was
a time delay on her pickup. ---------------------------- "Where

You're lucky about
that. Time delay does allow for some people to input
their own bits. I assume that if someone is going to do
something it can be slipped in after the original post
and still have the story flow along relatively smooth.
That and I'd
rather not have to post about ten times just to do
something which can occur in one. Conservation of Forum

Elkae waits for the badger guard to
close and lock the door before approaching the package.
Prison rules. Seeing that it's from the Institution,
she's sure Cordelia has at last come through for
her.
Hmmm. Used, but in good condition.
Oh guard? Could I get a VHS player in here ...
and a TV please?
Grizz stared at the addition that had been added to the
wall beside the glyph. He moved closer and looked again.
He realized that there were English words and phrases
there. They were hard to read, but they were undeniably
English. What the heek was up with this?
After
careful study, he was able to make out what it
said:
strongly believe that the Bahro will
prove to be far more important than anyone yet
believes strongly suggest stop treating Bahro like
jokes respect I believe they fully
deserv
Grizz mouth drops open. Those are phrases
taken directly from his letter to the professor! But
what could they mean in this context? Why had they
appeared on the wall in his cell?
This would be a
ten Fig Newton puzzle at least. He went and sat on the
blankets, and began munching the first Fig
Newton.

George finishes anchoring ladder from
the balcony to the roof of the egg room and starts work
on a ladder the roof of the egg room to the plaza floor.
Things are going smoothly until he accidentally smashes
his claw with the
hammer.
"EEEEEIIIIIIEEEERRRRRKKKKKKKK!!!!"
His
cry of pain cuts through everyone's ears like a buzzsaw
and stops just short of shattering anything made of
