My, we've not had anyone here in a long time! A nice young woman tiptoes over to Edward Jr. and grabs him by his hair (assuming he has some) and starts dragging him up the stairs screaming, "I GOT ONE!"

Gruff old man, body twisted and wracked by disease pops up at Stargazer's shoulder. voice creaks like rusted iron gates, "Yeeeees, I believe you doooooo......" old man flips through guest book, blowing cobwebs and black widows out of the pages. "AAAaaaah, yeeees, here you are."

Noting an Infernal Blue being standing nearby, the old man conscripts him as slave labor. He shoves Stargazer's bags at TIB and orders him to take SG up to the penthouse. The unfortunate TIB finds himself compelled to do so, staggering under Stargazer's heavy baggage.

I walk through the door into a musty room and I am disgusted by the smell of the place, Suddenly I am grabbed from behind and dimly hear a female voice saying "I got one"

Friday 08/10/90 08:28:32 AM From [>>>] TaleTeller [<<<]
The female in question drags Storm away into a musty alcove with a sign saying, "This way to Red Dwarf's Bitch&Moan&Whine room" She reappears in the doorway a few minutes later and says to all present, "Anyone here seen this boy's friend The Hobbit?"

Friday 08/10/90 10:30:27 AM From [SysPantheon] Red Dorakeen [and AI modules]
At least it didn't say "This way to Red Dwarf's Fresh Musty Alcove room" (Red manages somehow to sense the oncoming grab before it connects... maybe having something with his copy of Flowers of Evil emitting loud "look out behind you!" noises... and dive- rolls into the next room...)

Kris, (with a capitol K) who had previously been peacefully taking a nice nap upstairs on the roof is awakened by numerous sounds of...well, something. Some sounded like insane screaming, some sounded like urghs and oofs, but mostly, Kris smelled dinner.

"Flowers! GET (ack!) THE (oof!) TRUCK (ow! Watch it!) IN (-swat!- bounce bounce whimper) HERE (hey!) NOW...." THree seconds later a battered blue 1953 Dodge pickup somehow manages to drive thru the double doors and stops next to Red and the strange book of French poetry... he leaves very quickly... unfortunately several of the homocidal bunny rabbits get squashed... (soory, breaks of warfare, ya stupid rodents!)

clutch suddenly changes form and snarls at the human fly in the room. Clutch leaps, and attacks, and is in a position to kill.

Wednesday 08/22/90 23:18:19 PM From John Tom [viewable problem user]
A creature with a paranoid persona, the fly reacted with a deft slide around the left side of the gathering while pulling a swagger stick from under its coat. He raised it like a baton as though to orchestrate his way out of the situation.

Thursday 08/23/90 06:02:38 AM From [From Heaven it's] Emmett [come to Earth]
When he disappears. Everyone looks about in confusion to where that Emmett fellow is still sitting in a chair. He shrugs and mutters, "I can't smoke a good cigarette in peace anywhere."

Thursday 08/23/90 21:15:21 PM From Luther Arkwright
Luther concurs while lighting his pipe. A sweet smell wafts from it. "Ah! Good Black Cavendish with a touch of Opium is a wonderful smell." Luther then waits for the manager to attack. He has read he sign that says: "Warning! Attack Willun on premeses!"

Friday 08/24/90 10:20:38 AM From [@|')] Willun [visiting]
"Anybody foolish enough to attack me will get it folks," snarls Willun. Then she throws a water balloon at the smokers.

The balloon rotates as it arcs up, then descends to burst over their heads a smothering cloud of Balkan Sobranie tobacco, Tibetan hash, and a two weeks worth of vacuum bag from the lobby.

spite of better judgement the fly desires the days paper from the news kiosk. It contains a vital message in the love lorn section. dressed in a bellhops suit and entering from the employes only door he steals in,the plush velvet bagging around him, cap pulled down. But his antenna poke out either side. With his plans about burst like wonderful rotten fruit he wants no problems with lazy cats and assorted preposterous boors. But just in case he fingers a small glass ball in his pocket.

TT thumbs her nose at Goliath from the top balcony. Emmett and TigerClutch and her all stare out at the nifty sight before them. Somewhere in time, the scenery has shifted, and we are now looking out on the Plains of Ra, where a very special type of horse and human live.

^..there. see it? in that little nitch between the "." and the "(" is a crack... a little hole for those of the small variety to creep through. A truly magnificant (why is that pronounced magnifiSant Kris wonders during a pause for breath) piece of imagination.. But then, what can we expect? Since the beginning of time Mice have been extremely adept at out witting the infamous, satanic, Evil of all Evils, Cat... in fact, it's even been record in the cartoons. Only really important things are recorded THERE...

Through that little hole within a crack, appears a mouse. of the brilliant and loyal variety... and female. musta been female. ...creeps down the wall to a little crack in the floor. There is no hole in this crack in the floor. Obviously. Whyever would the mistress mouse set down a "Kris" in a crack with a hole in it? Why she would fall through. Couldn't have That.....

The mouse scampers off and dissapears into the crack (and hole) in the corner...^^^ over yonder. The "kris" looks upwards with her thumb in her mouth and waves goodbye. Then she promptly starts to throw pennies at all the unsuspecting passerby's....

Wednesday 08/29/90 02:34:57 AM From John Tom [viewable problem user]
Neglecting caution the fly discardes his hat and flings himself across the room, attempting to capture each copper. Lust and greed (the friend of good against evil) has got hold of of his actions before the mind kicks in. Suddenly aware of his stupid state he screeches in fury. His multi-eyes seek out the conveyer of his calamity and seeing a small hole in the wall secures the glass globe in his pocket and dashes it with a quick throw toward the hole. It bursts with a green glow. Satisfied, he spins about, then bolts for the stairs, the door still closing while half-way to the second floor.

Friday Aug 31 1990 11:53:27 AM From Tigerclutch NH
Clutch finds a small corner to sit and growl in since he knows that TT would get mad over another attack on the fly.

Suddenly, the front door bursts open as leaves and other debris is blown thru the opening. Everyone's head turns. Through the door strides a tall man dressed in a dark overcoat with an expensive looking Stetson perched precariously on his head. He slams the door shut, blocking out the turbulent winds and tips his hat back and glances around. He slowly canters to the front desk and says, "Name's Taliesin. Myddrin ap Taliesin. Got a room?"

Tuesday Sep 11 1990 20:21:29 PM From Agressiva
suddenly, in a blinding flash of tense confusion, the side doors burst open and an aardvark walked through. he says softly, 'could we all learn consistency?' before turning and striding into the kitchen, from which wafted the odour of baked ants.

Tuesday Sep 11 1990 23:47:45 PM From The Silent Observer
...a squall of Pirelli on pavement, a gentle waft of rubber smoke, and the whine of a downshift to 7000 rpm are followed by a gentle purring, whistling idle, which last the space of a full minute. It's cessation precedes the solid-sounding opening and closing of a massive, bright red door, and the satisfying clack of the lock. A figure in black jumpsuit, driving gloves, and Greek fisherman's cap pushes open the door, brushes a cluster of four leaves from his left shoulder, and combs through his beard with the fingers of his right hand...

..."Can someone send the valet to park my Lamborghini?"

Wednesday Sep 12 1990 01:13:48 AM From Goliath
Goliath, never one to miss an oportunity swiftly mugs the valet. Struggling into the tiny valet's clothes Goliath runs out the door laughing madly. He jumps into the driver seat and slams the roadracer in gear, leaving a gasping, sputtering TSO to watch as his car dissappears over the horizon.

Wednesday Sep 12 1990 03:00:55 AM From [====] TaleTeller [!!]
TT and Emmett watch this happen with some amusement. They exchange "You knew they were crazy down here" looks. Suddenly TT notices that there is green glowing nuclear waste on the wall. "Oh frack," she comments, "there goes that fly again! IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE HUMANS WHO ARE IDIOTS!!" she hollars down. Hitting the emergency Nuclear Waste disposal button, she jumps down into the plains of Ra. Emmett has vanished and is nowhere to be seen. A loud siren begins its incessant whine and between sound cycles a voice blares through the speakers. "ALL CIVILIAN PERSONNEL PLEASE EVACUATE PREMISIS IN AN ORDERLY FASHION. ALL MILITARY PERSONNEL REPORT TO THE DIRECTOR'S OFFICE AND AWAIT INSTRUCTIONS AS TO HOW TO ASSIST."

The crowd looks at each other.

Then they stampede for the door.

Wednesday Sep 12 1990 13:42:40 PM From [Go to the shelf,] Red Dorakeen [get the CAN.]
having recieved a Civil Defense "Mobilize you frigging couch potatoes!" alert on his CB, Red hits two buttons on the dashboard of his truck. One causes the (hidden) police lights and other paraphernalia to rotate out into position and begin strobing madly. The other powers up the hydraulic lifters and shoves a clutchplate into position, which effectively renders the old battered 1953 pickup into a dual-engine V12 performance 4x4... which proceeds to burn massive amounts of rubber taking off after the stolen Lamborghini... a tad slower, but that's not a problem. Lamborghinis tend to... break down... in any given hour of operation, so Red knows he'll run across the intrepid thief with his thumb out, or attempting to BS a Triple-A operator into getting him a tow for free on the cellular phone. Red thought about actually USING his truck to help out in evacuation matters, but chasing an Italian sports car is so much more fun....

The dark figure at the front desk takes his hat off and brushes the dust and debris from it and replaces it atop his head. Slowly looks around taking in the pandemonium of these surroundings. Wearily, he raps on the front desk bell. "Hey! All I want to know is, Do you got a room?"

Thursday Sep 13 1990 09:07:52 AM From [====] TaleTeller [!!]
A sickly looking old man pops up behind the counter and leers at MaT. "Thee wishes a room, sir?" he inquires with oily breath blasting MaT in the face. After hacking his lungs out for a full three minutes, MaT replies that he does indeed wish a room.

"Sign here, sir." The sickly old man hands him a registrar and a pen to sign with, covered in slug slime. MaT shudders and takes out his own pen. The old man summons over his slave he had conscripted earlier, but he forgot who it was, and so it is Goliath who suddenly finds himself goose- stepping obediently to the desk. "Do you have any baggage, sir?" the old man asks MaT.

Thursday Sep 13 1990 19:39:59 PM From Myddrin ap Taliesin
"Do you see any baggage? I travel light! Can't be havin' a load of American Tourister tying me down. All I need now is a drink! Which way to the lounge?" He looks down and sees a small chunk of black lung mucus oozing down his jacket button. Disgusted, he reaches over the counter, grabs the decrepid, old man by the collar of his shirt and proceeds to wipe the dark gelatainous substance from his coat. "You should give up smoking. It COULD be hazardous to your health!", he growls through clenched teeth.

...shaking his head, The Silent Observer watches his personalized plates vanish into the distance, followed by the soft, blue cloud of smoke rising being Dorakeen's pickup...as the noise level dies, the Observer reaches deep into the right thigh-pocket of his jump-suit, and pulls out a small box with three buttons on it... ...he pushes the blue one first, but the soft "CLACK" of the doors locking, un-openable without the proper thumbprint, is completely lost in the distance and engine noise... ...second, he presses the green button...and waits... ...after a few seconds, a dot just above the horizon rapidly grows into the form of a Countach, approaching at around 450 knots, and decelerating into a full hover above the parking lot, before dropping slowly to the pavement, Goliath struggling vainly with controls and door latch... ...once the car has come to a complete rest, and the dust kicked up by the lift jets has completely settled (along with Goliath's hash), the Observer pushes the third button, bright red. ...and picks up the largish briefcase that results after the Lambo finishes it's compressing/folding/ implosion act... ...flicking idly at the ear protruding near the right-hand latch, he walks back into the lobby of the Hotel, saying softly "Obviously, Goliath, you never hung around the Parking Lot of Hawkey's Bar with me, Ursus R. Bar, and Akira Takasaki...or you'da KNOWN better..." (flick)(flick) (flick)(flick)

Friday Sep 14 1990 00:57:48 AM From Goliath
"Hey" he replies... "What the hell did you do that for? I thought you wanted the bloody thing parked. I mean if you were going to get Psycho about it, you should have asked where the parking lot was. We don't do valet parking on the hotel grounds, so I was just running it up the state to a place I know that does.... Say, you owe me a tip."

"I thought you'd park it right outside...but I think I'll carry my own luggage, just the same..." As he sets the car/briefcase on the counter to sign the register, a small brass plate by the handle can be read: "Nevia Ltd."

finally giving up on the actual exertion bit, red pulls a tiny flat device out of his hat (the one place the kender couldn't reach.) he presses two buttons in sequence while aiming it at the kender, who promptly levitates off the floor, his legs and arms flailing. red starts to rotate a flat disk on the control, and the kender is reeled in like a caught fish, flailing all the way. Red recovers his stuff, and then makes a casting motion with the device; the kender goes sailing in an arc out the open front door to land with a muffled "HEY!" in the shrubbery.... "T-K reel... picked it up about five centuries up the road... useful to anybody whose psi conditioning doesn't take very well lest they need a bit of an edge in a contest. most models are highly illegal to transport out, but these little jobs aren't cabaple of lifing buses or anything and so the authorities don't much care as long as you declare them at the appropriate checkpoints, which I faithfully do.

Moments later, we see the kender back in the shrubbery, his curious gaze covering every inch of the sword's pommel and blade. "It's a pity someone left such a fine sword laying around where just anyone could pick it up. Certainly, I will take far better care of it than its previous owner!"
