lol! Poor badgers! Nice on Kestryll. And yes MrD,
Monty Python is contagious indeed. Glad I started
it.
Speedy woke up a few hours later. Wow, what a
good sleep she had, despite the spam dream with
Vikings... she got up and stretched as she yawned. She
turned to her right and gasped. There was FM, trying
to dig a hole in the wall, muttering something on how
hard the cave rock seems to be... Speedy shook her
head. If he had looked closely in Ukoi's room, he would
have noticed that there was a window to the outside, and
therefore, they were above ground... She got up and
approached FM from behind, being very quiet... she tip
toed, moving around the sleeping MrD, Grassie, and Dr
Warrell (who was no longer singing). Once she was
directly behind FM, who was frantically trying to use a
spoon to dig into wood, she took a deep
breath... "NNNNNNNIIIIIIIII!!!" she shouted. FM
jumped up in the air and yelped, dropping the spoon. He
quickly leaned over to pick it up. "NNNNNNNNIIIIII!"
Speedy shouted again, trying to control her
laughter. But FM's body jumped forward as he was
leaning over, causing him to bump his head into the
wall. "OOWWWW"! FM screamed, waking up the
others. "Oh geez... what is going on now?" moaned
MrD. FM turned around and saw the laughing
Speedy. "You're evil..." he said as he rubbed his
head. "Oh FM, you need to lighten up a little.
Besides, why were you digging a hole in the wooden
wall?" Speedy asked. FM turned and looked at his
hole. Finally, he made the connection that it was a
wooden wall and not a cave wall. "Umm..." FM said,
speechless. "FM, are you ok?" asked Grassie. "Has
he ever been?" asked MrD as he curled back up to
sleep. "Seriously, I think he needs some water and
possibly some medicine... he's beginning to freak me
out," commented Dr Warrell. "No, it is you ALL who
need help! I see what is really going on here!" FM
shouted. "FM, calm down. Everything is ok. How about
if you sleep for a little bit and I will get some ice
for your head, ok?" Speedy trying to sound
soothing. FM relaxed a little. "I don't want anything
to drink," "Fine, I will get you some ice to put on
your head. Ok?" Speedy said again. "Ok..." "Now,
go on your bed and lay down," FM went to his bed and
laid down. Speedy left the room and came back in 3
minutes with an ice bag in hand. She gave it to
FM. "Put that on your head and get some rest. You'll
feel better when you do," Speedy said. FM reluctantly
closed his eyes. Funny how heavy they seem now, he
thought as he drifted off to sleep. Meanwhile,
Grassie, Dr Warrell, and MrD all had fallen back asleep.
Speedy, being awake now after that bout of being a
troublemaker, decided to find Dr Osmostien and talk to
him about rescuing Elkae. She left the room to look for
him.

Note to Kestryll: you are hereby unbound
from the promise to deliver said 'antique shoes'. Please
let the badgers be, one of them ate your discarded
Italian loafers. That should be cruelty
enough.
I
should let the cones have at them for the Italian
loafers. They were still good!
I think I was
supposed to see some Judge named Judy on the first...
I'll have to chat with Betty about my schedule though...

going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
As if having the giggles at the
beginning of the day in the S.T.O.N.E. room with Merlin
trying to cast light spells wasn't enough... (she
kept thinking of a certain audio clip... "Roll the dice
to see if I'm drunk! ...Am I drunk yet?")
Dr.
Boatingirl's meeting did Ronda quite in. So while Merlin
runs off with some hussy to show off his helicopter,
Ronda rolls over to the Egg Room to fortify herself with
a couple of Belgian waffles.
While she's still
capable of something resembling rational thought, she
posts a note to Shiloh et al: I'm a Registered
Veterinary Technician on the Surface, should you need
any assistance in that area.
"Okay, I really am
going to go see WHOOPS now, I mean it!"
On the
way, she gets turned around and ends up down at Heek
Inc. Curious, and feeling a slight pang at the now
defunct heek table in Bevin, she goes
inside.
"Hello!" says TLG, with nothing better to
do.
"Hiya." Ronda looks around and wildly fishes
for a memory of some game she might have played in the
past. "Do you have any gaming dice?"
"Right over
here," TLG says, gesturing grandly.
"Oooo!
Sparklies!"
Ronda leaves with two sets -- one in
pearlescent teal and lavender with the second ten-sider
a dark violet, and the other in iridescent peacock with
a fuchsia second ten-sider. She will add these to the
collection, even though she hasn't played D&D in
about ten years...
"Now. Where was I
going?"
The scent of the DISCO's stong coffee
beckons, and Ronda finds herself irresistibly
drawn...

After lying in bed for several minutes,
waiting for everyone else to be asleep, he stood up,
walked over to the side of the room where the spears he
had collected from the unconcious badger sat. He grabbed
two of them, turned around and walked to the door. He
stood there for several seconds, took a deep breath, and
then opened the door and bolted down the stairs, out of
the house and into the badger cave..
About 10mins
later FM stopped running, when he had found another of
the strange mushroom doors that lead to/from the secret
tunnels. FM reached into his pocket and pulled out the
map of the Badger Age, considered where he was, and then
opened the door and stepped
through...

Directors note Kestryll the
package you were supposed to have delivered to Elkae,
which went missing, were the Badger Fetishes that she
requested.
The shoes that Chuckles is talking
about have indeed been eaten by the badgers but the
Ancient One intercepted the fetishes and has kept them -
this is what the cones need to recover end of

Professor T considers
himself very fortunate in having such an astute
PA.
Concerning the badger fetishes, are they
self-assembly? I was wondering what the items are on the
badgers' backs. How are the fetishes used? Or maybe this
will become obvious as the story unfolds
...
Veronica links into the Institution and
with her head down, she does not notice the SUV-sized
linking book in the courtyard. As a result, she runs
right into it and it knocks her on her
backside.
"What the...Who put this huge
book in the middle of the courtyard?!!" She yells at
the top of her voice.

Ancient Badger crept quietly into the cell where Elkae
was sleeping and took something of great value to
her.
In it's place he left something
else:
When Elkae
awoke and found the tiny carved badgers, she rejoiced.
Using hairpins from the bottom of her black bag, she
fashioned the fetishes into earrings for her pierced
ears. Then she said a littler prayer that she wouldn't
lose one (a bad habit she was hoping to
break).
Grizz links in with the echoes of
Veronica's shouting still bouncing from wall to wall of
the hood. He helps her to her feet, absently as he
stares at the book. "What the
heek?"

Veronica, feeling unusually adventurous,
decides to take a closer look at the book. She climbs up
on the edge of the fountain and asks Grizz to help her
open the cover. He climbs up beside her and the two of
them pull with all their might and the book opens.
Veronica boosts herself up and puts her hand out saying,
"Oh, what a pretty picture..." She links
away.
Grizz jumps up repeatedly to try for a
view of the picture to see where Veronica has linked to,
but the brief views he gets are not enough to tell. He
is reluctant to follow Veronica, but what the heek. He
does have his Relto book. He reaches out, places
a hand on the corner of the picture, and links out as
well.
