It seems 78 like every direction I wanted to go was continually blocked with some 79 sort of construction project. When they get done doing whatever it is 80 they do, they tear it all apart and start in again. 81 Finally the smokey, smelly, stinking bus pulled away from the 82 curb. It pulled around a nondescript black car, and then stopped for 83 the ever red stoplight. I thought about moving to the side to get 84 around the car, when another bus pulled up behind the first and opened 85 its doors to off-load its passengers and take on more, effectivly 86 blocking me from that alternative. Frustrated, I sat behind the black 87 car in my beatup American sports car, expecting yet another long delay 88 in getting out of the city. 89 As I sat steaming, the door of the car burst open, and a man 90 stepped out. He stepped in front of a young lady stopping her forward 91 progress. As she attempted to step around him, he grabed her by the 92 arm and quickly loaded her into the car. The car then shot forward, 93 running the red light. Obviously, something was comming down. 94 A moment later, the light turned green. Since the car was 95 leaving the city, as was I, I decided to follow at least for a while. 96 The roar of my engine and squealing tires echoed off the close 97 buildings as I hurried to try to catch up with the speeding car. 98 MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Marvin Deper MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM 99 100 -+- -+- -+- -+- -+- -+- -+- -+- -+- -+- -+- -+- -+- 101 -+- It was the ineveitable, it was gone.

The figure's 115 thin fingers flickered briefly and a card slid out of the deck and 116 flipped over. 117 "Your significator." The hoarse whisper was heavy with significance. 118 "This card represents you. It represents who and what you are -- how 119 you react, your basic pattern. We know that humans are more complex, but 120 still humans are cut to a pattern. Know your pattern and you know you 121 potential. Know your basic truths and the conseqent truths are obvious." 122 Staring at the picture on the card before him, the piper felt that, if 123 not absolutely true, this person's belief in his own words was absolute. 124 As the dark-robed figure's whisper rasped on, the piper felt himself 125 overcome by a strange lassitude. As his limbs grew heavier and heavier, 126 the picture on the card seemed to become larger and more detailed. Fascinated 127 by this phenomenon, the piper focused on the face of the man pictured on 128 the card. As he did so, several other things seemed to happen -- the inn 129 seemed so far away now... the piper's vision seemed to be edged in black, as 130 though he were peering down a long tunnel... and the face in the card 131 turned a startled look upon the piper. 132 ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp 133 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 134 PORTLAND (AP) -- Portland Police reported that noted author and 135 Backwater Inn regular, Pam, disappeared today under suspicious circum- 136 stances. A police spokesman stated: "Yes, we are working on the 137 possibility that Pam may have been kidnapped. We have identified several 138 suspects and arrests are imminent." 139 An unreliable witness, Hector 'Red Herring' Breakwind said that he 140 observed a young woman thought to be Pam struggling with a fat man and a 141 large bearded lady in downtown Portland. "Hey, I thought it was a simple 142 beef between circus performers." Mr. Breakwind said, "I mean they threw 143 this short broad into the back of a large circus truck and took off." Mr. 144 Breakwind was returning to his office at McKane Industries after a five 145 martini lunch. 146 Pam is described as sweet, gnome-like, and has an affliction for 147 painful puns. The Backwater Gnome Appreciation Society has offered a 148 gigantic reward of $47.39 for Pam's safe reward. Persons with information 149 regarding Pam's disappearance should contact Salazar at the Pam Hotline, 150 230-xxxx. 151 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 152 153 ......................................................................... 154 juggler-you said it. 155 ............................................Entropy...................... 156 ================================================================= 157 Ring.... ring.... ri- 158 "Good morning, Police department." 159 "Ahh, yeah, I heard on the news last night that you was looking 160 for information about this broad, ahh...

He was 183 drivin' one o' them fancy sports cars. I think it had one of 184 those spoiler do-hickies on the back or somthin'.

Dripping from the shower she could take my 200 breath away. I adjusted the covers to hide my reaction as I watched 201 her getting dressed. Now wasn't the time, mornings aren't her thing. 202 "I feel like french toast, do you have any bread?", she said over 203 her shoulder as she poked through me closet. She likes to wear my 204 shirts when she stays here. I think it makes here feel sexy, I know 205 it makes her look that way. 206 "Who kneeds it." I said. 207 "Oh God, not puns, not this early. Seriously, do you have any f/od 208 in this damn place?" 209 "She criticized my apartment, so I knocked her flat." I said with 210 a smile. 211 "Do you want breakfast or not". She said, putting her hands on her 212 hips in mock anger. The shirt looked great, she was still a little 213 wet from the shower, and it was sticking to her in some of my 214 favorite places. 215 "I want knot," I said. "Come over here and I'll show you some of my 216 rope tricks." 217 "You already did you pervert." I love that smile. 218 "Once a king always a king...?" I asked. 219 "But once a night is enough!" She finished. "You got your quota 220 for the week." 221 "That`s right I do feel pretty weak. All your fault." 222 "Not my fault, San Andreas, didn't you feel the earth move?" She 223 asked. 224 I laughed. "As a matter of fact I did. You have a point." 225 She pointed to the bl!nkets. "You have the point, not me." 226 "I'm not prone to argue." 227 "And I don't feel like cooking any more." She said with a smile. 228 She undid the top button of my shirt, pulling the fabric away from 229 her wet skin. 230 "The hell you don,t, you just don't feel like breakfast." 231 We didn't even make it to lunch. 232 233 Harlequin 234 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 235 236 Hmm. Those were NOT experienced mercs. At least not with pre- 237 gunpowder weapons. The only reason that hammer (& mace) fighters aren't 238 more common is that it takes strength AND dexterity. If you let a man 239 with a mace in close enough to use it, you'd better have a SHIELD to 240 hide behind! 241 I'm not sure that they deserved to be handled QUITE so harshly, 242 but at the the species has been improved.

Ming's breath came 252 in ragged gasps, his legs ached from exertion. Ahead of him, Mohammed 253 moved as one born to climbing. 254 "Hold on Mohammed, let's rest a moment." Ming panted. "I'm a city 255 kid, not a crusty mountain goat like you." 256 Mohammed Wassir turned and saw Ming Louie flop onto a flat stone. "We 257 can only halt for a moment, dawn will come in a few hours. We must reach 258 the pass by then. Great night for climbing, eh?" 259 "Right. Maybe you're as crazy as they say." Sweat trickled down 260 Ming's brow. 261 Mohammed chuckled. "We are all a little crazy. My friend, life must 262 be lived on the razor's edge." 263 The men lapsed into silence in the cool Afghan night. In the distance 264 a bird trilled softly. "Hmmm... What kind of bird is that?" Ming asked. 265 "Quiet." Mohammed whispered. He gazed into the darkness. Shadows 266 moved against the blackness. The bird called again. 267 Both men froze. The click of rock grazing rock sounded near them. 268 Mohammed's knife slipped into his hand. Ming shed his backpack and 269 unlimbered a short fighting staff. 270 Whoosh! Something embedded itself in Mohammed's robe. An arrow. 271 Warcries sounded in the night. Four figures emerged from the rocks 272 charging the two men. 273 Mohammed sidestepped an onrushing form. His knife plunged into the 274 figure's back. Hot blook gushed over his hand. He turned to grapple with 275 his next adversary. 276 Ming snapped his staff into a charging man's throat. A spinning kick 277 finished his foe. From the corner of his eye, he spied something flashing 278 in the moonlight. A knife. It hammered against his chest. "Sorry sucka." 279 Ming said. His ballistic vest absorbed the impact of the blow. He jabbed 280 the end of his staff into the figure's midsection and dropped him with a 281 backfist. 282 Clunk. Clunk. Clunk. Ming looked over. Mohammed was cracking the 283 remaining figure's head against a rock. "Hold it Mohammed. I think he's 284 done." 285 "Er... right. Get a light. Let us see who attacks us." 286 Ming returned to his pack and pulled out a small flashlight. He 287 walked over and handed it to Mohammed. 288 The yellow beam of the light revealed four smallish men; their black, 289 straight hair cut salad-bowl style. Short, woolen robes covered their 290 nut-brown bodies. Strange circular tattoos marked their faces. 291 "Who are those guys? They certainly aren't Russians." Ming said. 292 "My guess would be Indians... probably from South America." Mohammed 293 examined the arrow he pulled from his robes. "If I'm correct, this arrow 294 has been coated with Curare." 295 "Why would they attack us? Hmmm... I wonder if this is connected 296 to Salazar's message." 297 "My friend, we have no time to ask questions. The Russians could 298 discover us at any minute." 299 Suddenly, a blinding light. Both men crouched--disoriented. A 300 heavily accented voice said, "Too late, Wassir. We're here. Don't move. 301 I would hate to be denied the distinct pleasure of interrogating you. 302 I love breaking tough guys." 303 *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Valinor~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ 304 305 ************************************************************************ 306 L'homme: preliminary tests indicate that the EXE files do indeed work 307 on the Sanyo.

Tempers 329 had started to rise and all needed the rest. Supplies were 330 also running low and repairs needed to be made. Not to mention 331 there was women that needed chasing, so Salty set sail for 332 the mainland. The crew had lowered the Jolly Rodger and replace 333 it with a british flag. Oh they looked so innocent if you dis- 334 regarded the holes punched into the side of the ship by the 335 victims who tried in vain to defend themselves against the 336 mightiest of warriors of the sea. 337 The anchor was lowered and launches were put out, leaving 338 only a handfull of men behind to keep watch on the ship. Sacks 339 of gold were taken along to buy goods (and services). 340 Black thunder watched longingly as his new comrades rowed 341 away from the ship. he was the new first mate by default and 342 would have to stay behind for now. 343 The boats were pulled up on the beach and the men stumbled 344 forward, many falling promptly on faces to feel the warm sand 345 against their bodies. Palm trees swayed in the gentle breeze 346 as the men composed themselves and moved on, much stimulated 347 by their insistant captain. 348 Salty led the way and soon the crew reached a major road 349 leading into a township, the men must have looked quite 350 ragged judging by the stares from the passing civlians. 351 Salty pulled our a large bag of gold and generously gave 352 each of his men amounts to get cleaned up and please them- 353 selves, warning them to meet back at the beach in two days. 354 Salty and his cabin boy walked down the road the a 355 clothier and found suitable coverings for the next year and 356 continued on to a INN that boasted of hot baths and good 357 ale. 358 *************guesswho******************************************* 359 { 360 well, I see Backwater hasn't changed much... 361 } 362 wAnyone looking for a printer call Rick smith at 666-xxxx 363 364 365 366 367 368 369 HI 370 371 372 // 373 374 THIS IS A TEST 375 <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> 376 MiG: Me?!?

It was full of her herbs:cucumber, white rose, any 395 white, yellow, or wet plants. The garden was surrounded by willow trees; and my 396 staff bent towards them-it knew it was the same. 397 398 I waved to some Mars followers (pagans, but devout), and a member of His cult. 399 I was surprized that they were walking together-He lovees life and Mars destroys 400 it. His worshipers rarely associated with anyone but Us; and even then, only for 401 Their procreation. But, as the man was hardly a man, I assumed the prejuduces 402 hadn't been hammered into him yet. 403 After I turned a corner, I heard yells from the direction I had come. Sincee, 404 as a Mother, it is my duty to keep peace; I went back. The pagans were attacking 405 the allmost-man. 406 407 She must love Mars, for She gave me a dream before I could help him. I cannot 408 tell what the dream was about, suffice to say that it kept me from stopping the 409 fight before it began. By the time I returned to reality, the almost-man was 410 bleeding. In Mars worrshipers blood arouses lust, in Mothers it creates only 411 anger. They started attacking anything that moved, and I-being one person-could 412 only watch and curse them. Perhaps I shouldn't say "only", Her curses are always 413 deadly, but they didn't stop the violence. 414 "Think, think," my brain said. But I wouldn't listen. They had drawn blood on 415 Her soil, and they shall die for it. I could imagen the months it would take to 416 cure the roses alone, the rocks would have to be changed. As I was tthinking 417 about curing and changing, my mind gave me an idea from Her. I doffeed my green 418 robes so I was wearing only my white cape. I must love them to cure them. They 419 must be cured of thier lust. If it had been sexual, I could have destroyed it 420 easily; but blood lust is alien to Her, and I would have to work hard. Part of 421 me wanted to let the violence run its course and just cure the land. But these 422 were Her sons-though they denied it, and I must help them if I could. 423 In my mind's indicision, my Power took over. It cured the men of thier lust and 424 the almost-man of his fear. I just wastched it happen. 425 They collapsed, and then 'I' could act. I took thier wounds and gave them to 426 Mars--he should enjoy them. And I took the almost-man to the Dean who reprimand- 427 ed him for poor judggdement and me for failure to protect Her children. 428 429 I don't understand why some of us persist in following a power that only wishes 430 to see destruction. These powers only kill them in the end. 431 Lady S. 432 s:ks:ks:ks:ks:ks:ks:ks:ks:ks:ks:ks:ks:ks:ks:ks:ks:ks:ks:ks:ks:ks:ks:ks:ks:ks:ks: 433 <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> 434 Mig: NOW THAT'S TACKY! ...wish I would've thought of it 435 <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> 436 ps MiG: 48 hours.

He's just out feeding the cats... As much as he 463 likes to let on that he hates them, he really cares for them." 464 "Very well. Jannet, I seem to recall that there is a small airfield near 465 here. Could you tell me how I could get there?" he asked. 466 "Ahem," came a gruff voice from off to the side. It was Jannet's father. 467 "You turn left from Orchard until you hit Tucker Road, then you make another 468 469 Rather harsh line noise at the present. 470 I'm affraid I'll have to con't. later. (Inform RY that h=x and s=del stinks.) 471 KOSTA KOSTA KOSTA KOSTA KOSTA KOSTA KOSTA KOSTA KOSTA KOSTA KOSTA KOSTA KOSTA 472 473 TTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRR 474 475 THOR looked at his terrible tool and noted to himself that it would not need 476 cleaning. The stainless steel head of the hammer still gleamed in the moonlight. 477 The blood of the mercenaries had fallen away like water on a waxed apple. The 478 feel of the weapon was as if it were alive as the hammers head was twice the 479 size of THOR's palm and the movement inside the hammers head could be felt from 480 the liquid mercury that was inside. When THOR swung the terrible tool it was if 481 it was alive and the mercury gave it the momentum to carry through the most 482 thickest of shields. The iron wood handle felt warm in THOR's grip and the few 483 scratches it showed were from glanced 484 sabers and spears that had been thwarted away from THOR's body. He felt no 485 anguish for the death of the two mercenaries but felt awkward inside over having 486 shown his power within the walls of the INN. "I must be more controlled" 487 thought THOR to himself, old habits of self preservation are hard to conquor. 488 I will make amends to the INN keeper on my next visit, perhaps I will atone my 489 outburst with the making of new friends and collegues.....mayber even teach 490 others to be more tolerant.....we will see. 491 TTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRR 492 THIS OUR FIRST TIME ON YOUR SYSTEM.

It's come to my 497 attention that I am suspected of being the person who uses the signature PRO. 498 This is not an unreasonable guess since my messages elsewhere reveal that I have 499 done professional writing as well as programming--but I am not THAT "Pro", and I 500 don't agree with his/her comments, at least not with respect to this Inn (they 501 would have been valid enough in a writing class). Not everybody has an upload 502 program. I wouldn't have one if I couldn't write it myself; and in that case my 503 own entries would be a mess, since I'm a slow and clumsy typist. I envy you 504 people who can be CREATIVE while typing ON LINE; that in itself is more of a 505 talent than some people realize! 506 S/S/S/S/S/S/S/S/S/S/S/S/S/S/S/S/S/S/S/S --SYLVIA, AKA "FRUSTRATED PROGRAMMER" 507 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 508 Note to all interested persons (if there are any): the Messenger BBS will be 509 down in the evenings this week for the creation of the new version.

He signaled 563 to Phil that perhaps they should journey further for a more relaxing 564 enviorment. Phil agreed as the strangers walked by, noting that the 565 skulls of the men were quite destroyed. 566 They soon found another establishment to fit their needs. After freshing 567 up and changing into their new clothes they were ready for a nap. 568 **************************************gw************************************* 569 *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* 570 yup it did!

Satisfied to forgo the usual C. lupis rituals, she simply seated 579 herself on the floor near Thor's chair. 580 Dreamtoucher held up a four fingered hand, open, palm forward, in greeting, and 581 bowed deeply. 582 *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* 583 ***************************************************************************** 584 WELL SEEING THAT THERE IS SOME PEOPLE WRITING STORIES HERE I FIGURE 585 I COULD PUT ONE IN..... 586 P.B. 587 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 588 Sangrion was a strange place, but Melopul considered it home.
