Kestryll links in by the fountain and
is already on the move before he's fully materialized.
He screeches to a halt in front of the sign. His form blurs slightly as the
rest of his particles try to congeal and stabilize
around him.
What's it SAY?! BUGGER! I can't
see a blasted thing!
His body snaps into
focus
AGH! I missed a party?! CRUD! Too much
to do! I'm late already! I'm late! I'm late! For a very
important delivery!
He barrels down the stairs
and into the DISCO tossing an envelope containing the
list and payment onto the counter as he runs past. Then,
without stopping, he grabs a few items off the shelves
as he almost flies down the stairs to the
sub-levels.

Too bad my schedule doesn't allow for
exstensive computer time. Everything's changed since I
last posted. A marine expedition! Sound fun. Too bad I'm
stuck here in the Nexus/Dilbert's world.
Kestryll links back into the
Institution in mid-run. His outline blurs as he's
already running at full tilt towards Thietris' office.
He snaps into focus just as he grabs the doorjam to slow
himself. He almost falls, but catches himself just in
time and jogs into the office. He slips past the
sleeping squirrel and sets his pack on the ground. He
pulls out his clipboard and a box. He sets the box on the
Professor's desk and signs the clipboard. He shoves the
clipboard back into the pack, picks it up and links
out.

Congrats Elkae on getting a normal hair color and for
passing the 4000 mark!
OT: When Gisli
pressed the button, a loud horn was heard. He didn't
expect it so he jumped backwards into the automated
pilot control panel. Some buttons were pressed and
levers moved. Gisli looked around the control room and
decided it was time for him to exit...
---------------OT----------------- Kestryll
linked in at the designated meeting place. He sighed as
he realized he was five minutes early and only two of
the other three were present.
Vivian: Hey!
Kest, have you seen Alex? Kestryll: No. Although I
was just in and out of everywhere today. Might have
passed him and not noticed. Viv: You were not
rushing through the deliveries were you? Rule
#1... Vivian and Lynn: Never deliver a package
without getting it signed first! K: *laughing* Of
course I signed... got signed... V&L: So
Busted! Alex: Alright! I'm here. L: 'bout
time, putz. A: Yeah, yeah, whatever. We gonna do this
thing or what? K: Soon as everyone is strapped
in.
The four open the big boxes they arrived
with. They laugh and joke with each other as they
assemble their hang-gliders. Once assembled they each
take up their positions.
High above the city,
they chose a triangular outcropping of the Guild Hall.
Silent now, they watched the city far below. It was
strange. The DRC was gone, and yet, here were explorers
and researchers, scientists and others. They still
walked, or ran, through the city. A lone figure here, a
small group there, yet the city still seemed so
empty.
Kest: The water has begun to flow into
the cleft. Viv: We are the water. Alex: The tree
has begun to grow, though slowly. Lynn: This cavern
is the tree. Kest: A leaf here. Viv: A branch
there. Alex: The journey has begun. Lynn: The
stories are written. Kest: *with a grin* But not the
ending...
They all laughed and dove off the
edge. Their hang gliders catching the draft they soared
out over the city. They flew over Kerath's Arch and
banked to the right. They caught the updraft near the
main pillar of the city and rose up towards the Guild
Hall again.
They soared around the pillar.
Around and Around and upwards. Rising higher and higher
until they caught sight of the Great Zero just over the
pinnacle. Then they turned and headed out into the
cavern itself. Towards the Hoods, and their
homes.

Professor T returns from Elkae's party
and quickly falls fast asleep. In the morning, back in
the world of macademia, he samples one of the delicious
chocolate-covered nuts that Kestryll had left. Mmmm.
Thanks, Kestryll!
The professor thinks he should
head back to Elkae's Relto and do a bit of cleaning
up.

Mysti
wakes up in his bed with a strange feeling. His legs and
arms seem to naturally pull outwards. He gets out of bed
to go above to get some breakfast.
He walks out
on deck.
"What the heek?!?!?!"
The Navis
Caelorum was spinning rapidly in a counter-clockwise
direction!

Uh-oh! I hope the ship isn't approaching those rocks in
the sky where many a vessel has foundered over the years
- those rocks that make the hardiest yachtsman tremble -
the Widdershins.
Boatingirl, awakened by the horn blast
and the boat moving runs up to the bridge to find out
what happened. "what happened" TLG, looking
defiant yelled "YOU left me on watch ALL NIGHT LONG! so
you could go to a party! Ummmm sorry
TLG
"anyways, I fell asleep. I'm only 12 you
know; I do need sleep"
well, why don't you go to
your cabin and sleep, unless you want breakfast first?
I'll take over.
TLG walks out grumbling
"I
HEARD that!"

As TLG walked out on deck, he saw Dr
Warrell leaning over the side of the deck, green as
grass. "Oh boy... I better get some Petobismol," he
noted as he walked to his room.
boatingirl makes sure the boat is still
following the course set by FM, nodding to herself, she
glances at the radar screen.
*blip* "Hey! There's
something out there!" grabs the binoculars and scans the
horizon. Speedy, could you come here a
minute"
She looks around for Speedy and sees Dr.
Warrel leaning over the side. He looks up and smiles
weakly at her. Speedy walks up to boatingirl. "someond
needs to take care of that man"
"Speedy, you have
good eyes, do you see anything out there?"
Speedy
sheilds her eyes with her wing. " yes, right over
there?... I think I see someting too!"
Our course
is taking us directly to it, so we should be able to see
what it is shortly"

Speedy squints her eyes a little
more. "Is it possible..." she muttered. "What?"
asked boatingirl. "I think I recognize that island!"
Speedy said. "Oh really!" boatingirl said with much
excitement. "Yeah... it looks kind of like my relto,"
Speedy said. "Oh..." boatingirl said with not as much
excitement. "Yeah, that's the beginning of my
waterfall on the top of the mountain. There are the
trees... oh look! The rhododendrons are in bloom too!"
Speedy said, smiling.
Hey everyone come on deck, we've made
our first discovery....in the Myst....Cruiser makes a
entry in her journal of the time, coordinates, and a
discription of the location.
