OOC: Ronda, Merlin suggested you might
faint becuase, as I said before, he is from a time
period when a lady might if she saw a dust-bunny. It was
not supposed to be insulting, he has every confidence in
your abilities. Just not those finicky Relto books.
After all, they stop working in the Bahro Cave, which is
in the
roof.

Grizz took an unbelievably long time
getting the dust and dirt of Gira out of his hair and
beard in the falls. Then he discovered that there were
no clean socks in the closet, so he had to wash a pair.
While they were drying, he kept looking sideways at the
book Veronica had found in Gira, just itching to open
it, but if she could wait, then so could he. Finally,
clad in more cavern suitable clothes than during the
past few days, he carefully secured the DRC book in his
shirt again, opened the nexus book on his shelf, and
linked.
After a while, the pond on the high
ground ran clear again, carrying away all the dirt and
dust.

Veronica automatically begins to jog on
the spot along with the Professor. Since she has taken
so long to reply, he begins to jog away once more and
she follows close behind him. "Sir, Grizz and I found a
linking book in the courtyard and..." She looks back and
then does a double-take as the SUV size book is now
gone. "Well, there was a linking book in the
courtyard. Did Cordelia move it?" The Professor picks up
the pace and so does Veronica, her speech pace that
is.
"We went to an unexplored area in Eder
Gira...it was really quite charming, well except for the
demon-bird that wanted to have us for lunch, I think, oh
and there was a nasty growth of some type of thorny bush
that had these spear-like shapes..." Thietris picks up
the pace more, as does Veronica's speech. So quickly in
fact that there is no pausing for breath in between
sentences.
"It was really quite painful do you
think Chere would be interested in seeing it but I don't
know how she could since the book is now gone and I
don't know how she would get back there but it was
really interesting and I also found some type of cloth
with a weird symbol on it and Grizz has a linking book
with the DRC stamp on it but I have no idea how it got
there or what it is for and Professor do you suppose you
could slow down a bit I'm having trouble
breathing."
{Ghost Stellaflora, minus his Glasses,
suddenly fades into view in front of Professor Thietris
and Veronica, who are quite taken aback since Ghost
Stellaflroa is unable to link}
[Ghost
Stellaflroa] "What just happend? Where am I? How did I
get here?"
{He peares short-sightedly at Thieris
and Veronica}
[Ghost Stellaflora] "Hello
Professor, I havn't seen you for a while, and who is
this young lady, I don't beleve that I have met her
before"

Veronica and Professor T were in a
semi-supine position, fore-limbs wrapped around some
railings for support, and gasping for
breath.
"Stellaflora! [Gasp] Am I glad to see
you? Stallaflora, this is [gasp] Veronica. Veronica
[gasp] Stellaflora. What's the matter, Stellaflora, you
don't seem [gasp] quite 'all there'."

"I do believe I just had a most wonderful
dream. But I wish it hadn't been a dream! Twas but there
were more fairy-godmothers to make dreams come true!
Alas, I have one not, and my enchantments have no power
over love." thinks Merlin.
"How am I going to get
out of this helicopter?" asks Ronda.
"I have an
idea!!!" exclaims the gallant
intellectual.
"Well?!" says the lady.
"I
shall merely cause a brief recurrence of Cavern-Forum
Gravity Thread Reversal while you work! Just a
moment!"

*Ronda
and Merlin are slammed to the cieling of the copter,
whose gravity is now right side up, while the rest of
the cavern's gravity is
upside-downmost.
"Ooops."
"Could you
please put this helicopter right... I mean upside-down?"
asks the beautiful lady.
"Of
course."
*flips switch on the control
panel*
"Much better, eh? Now you can go for a
walk on the roof without me worrying about you. However,
please do hurry, as other might perchance find this
condition vexing, and I wish to change it back as soon
as possible."
Little did he know the chaos that
this might
cause...

{Ghost Stellaflora looks at the partly
asphlixiated(sp?) Veronica}
[Ghost
Stellaflroa]"Hello, I'm Ghost Stellaflora, the "ghost
after image" Stellaflora left behind when he linked out
of the A&C Hotel once, I sence that he is somewhere
between Realitys at present, but I'm sure he will find a
way back within the next week.
I would shake your
hand but it would just go though, so I have to do it
Physicly"

"Well, Stellaflora - er, Ghost
Stellaflora - I'd offer you some acorn mead, but
obviously your hand would pass straight through the
glass. What a pity."
Veronica looks down at her hand, trying
not to panic link to her Relto as the Professor seems
unperturbed by Ghost Stellaflora's presence. "Indeed,
well yes that makes perfect sense. I am sure he will
catch up eventually." (referring to Stellaflora who
apparently is stuck in another reality.)
She
nervously takes the cloth from her pocket and hands it to
the Professor. "Sir, this is the cloth I found on Eder
Gira. When Grizz arrives, we'll bring you the book we
found. Good day to you...and (gulp) you, sir." She nods
her head at Ghost Stellaflora.
