Within 10 minutes, a linking stone to
the surface appeared in the middle of the dark rock
room. Somebody was anxious for the three 'visitors' to
leave, and right away.
Your welcome. I
thought I'd just tidy up the mess I made.

"Grizz." She shook her head in
disbelief. "I think you may be right."
Veronica
thankfully handed the Bahro Linking Stone back to
Kestryll. She had been terrified that she was
going to be forced to listen to the speeches again.
"Well, thanks anyway. If they ever do come back again,
would you take them on that same lovely tour you gave
me?"
"Speedy, I overheard Thietris ask for you
today. I think you should try and see him first thing in
the morning."
"I love these chocolate-covered
fig newtons. Thank you, Elkae."

Drat! I could have gotten her to
listen to them again!...
Well, glad that's
all settled then... Deliveries are done, pulls out
his clipboard OHMYGOD!
Kestryll drops his
clipboard and starts
hyperventilating
Veronica and Grizz:
What?!

HEE to HEEE! DO!!

"Wow..." Speedy said. "Amazing," said
Grizz. "I guess it is possible," said
Veronica. Speedy looked at the clipboard. "Silly man,
he forgot to read the post it," she said as she read it
aloud: Get hair dye to hide the blonde hairs...

snatches the clipboard back and links back out
again.

Veronica laughs. "Speedy, that was a
good one!" She yawns as she begins cleaning up the
coffee cups. It has been one long day. "Hey Speedy, if
you don't want to sleep in the aisles, there is a
perfectly nice bed in this back room here." She opens
the room behind the counter to reveal the bed. "I have
my Relto, so you are welcome to stay here if you
like."
Veronica impulsively throws her arms
around Grizz and whispers, "Thank you so much for
everything, Partner!"
"See you all tomorrow,
goodnight." She links
away.

"Well now he has something to do,"
Speedy said. "Yes, that he does..." chuckled Grizz as
he stood up again and moved some stuff from behind the
counter. Speedy turned to Grizz. "Do you think
Thietris would have a problem if I built a nest out in
one of the old balconies? I had quite a nice view and
area... and if so, I use that straw you offered, as well
as a few other things as well," Speedy
said.

"Take it and welcome!' said Grizz. "Find
whatever you need, and use whatever you find." Big yawn!
"And if you'll excuse me, been a long day. Sleep
tight."

Being the good customer she is, Speedy
leaves money on the counter as she takes some straw, a
blanket, and a pillow. She then carries the stuff to the
balcony she slept on prior, makes a bed, and goes
asleep.

Busy all day with a jobs fair for
his Bahro employees following the end of tax season,
Chuckles58 walks slowly back to his WSA
office.
He'd administered tests to determine
potential career choices for the Bahro.
Funny
though, how many jobs for 'volcano chimneysweeps' was he
going to locate.
Then he did select about a dozen
of those exhibiting musical skills for a new Repatory
Theatre Company soon to be appearing in Community room
in a neighborhood near you. At least until someone can
figure out how to get into the Concert Hall.
The
Bahro who refused to turn in their baseball uniforms and
gear have been practicing on Eder Kemo, hoping that the
Baseball Age can be located. Don't forget your rain
check.
There were a handful of fairly computer
literate Bahro that he put right to work. They were
going to develop a 3D computer game about a Software
Company in Washington State. The name of the game will
be 'Magenta'.
Then there were various other
office help types, heavy equipment operators
("Caterpillar Company, please hold"), and food service
and beauty shop postions filled.
Even Kestryll
came by and hired a few more for his booming delivery
business.
As he turned the knob to enter his
office, he felt the satisfaction of a good day's work,
knowing that he'd done all he could to help his fellow
(man, woman and Bahro).
He walked in, shocked to
see that he wasn't alone. No, Inigo and Sydney hadn't
returned.
Sitting behind the
receptionist's desk, "Good evening Mr.
Chuckles, I have handled the mail and returned all your
calls. I hope you've had a pleasant day."
"Good evening sir," Boris
the butler spoke up. "May I get you your slippers and
the evening paper. I recorded the baseball game for you
.(Texas Rangers 3, Kansas City Royals 2, but don't
tell Elkae).
Natasha called from the
kitchen, "Mr. Chuckles Dahling. Have a seat. Your dinner
vill be ready in a vew minutes."
I just love
happy endings. Life is good.

Out on his morning jog, Professor T
spots a flash of blue in one of the balconies.
"Hello, Speedy!" The professor gives a friendly
wave. A tired wing waves gently back. He was just about
to say something about not missing the B.A.H.R.O. grand
opening, but Speedy had already settled down to sleep
again.
Cordelia links into the hood and nearly
collides with the professor on his jog
"Good morning
professor, what a lovely day it is"
The professor seems
preoccupied with the nest in the balcony and nearly
falls over Cordelia.
"Oops, didn't see you there"
he says in confusion "did you see Speedy sleeping up in
the balcony? Must be quite a comfortable place to sleep,
I wonder if it's better than a drawer" he muses as he
goes on his
way.

FM linked back into the Institution
after another short stay at a mental institution after
what would for all eternity be referred to as "The
Badger Age Incident"...he had however been assured by
the people at the Mental Asylum that he was cured of
THAT mental disorder, and as long as he never made it in
any way seem like Speedy could kill someone, he would be
safe from anything like it again...they also recommended
he try not to get knocked out anymore...
Of
course, the mental asylum was very reluctant to let FM
go, and so he was forced to escape using a linking book
in the activities room, (which had been cleared of any
Venus Fly Traps)..he just hoped none of the aslyum staff
would find the book and try to hunt him
down...
He had however, made it in time for the
BAHRO opening, he just hoped he wouldn't fall asleep
before the party
started...
