As our cover story, we bring you chapter one of five chapters of a beautiful story by Ce'Nedra. Kymer's first opinion poll will take place on May 18. Read all about it in Menolly's article! That t'ief extrordinaire, de Gray Dauphin, is back with yet another of his wonderful and witty tales, "De Magistrate's Daughter". For you gentlemen, don't forget to attend the bachelor party on May 16 for Brimble, Kymer's favorite stocky male! And then on Friday, May 17, the wedding of one of Kymer's most loved couples, Passion and Brimble. What's this? A writing competition! Yes! Dread surprised me with coming up with a writing competition for ESP! to sponsor. The theme is "How I Arrived in Kymer" and you're all invited to start working on your entries. More details will be announced such as deadline date and, of course, prizes! Watch for them in future issues! An OOPS! -------- Last week's ESP! #10 had an incorrect date in its masthead. The date should have been May 5, not May 12. I must have been dreaming a week into the future when I put that date in there! Oops! ESP! German Edition -------------------- Zooey, Dread and I have been spending much time in discussion during the past few weeks and the initial outcome of these discussions is that this issue #11 of ESP! is being translated into German and will be released to the Newstand Library early this week. But this initial translation is just a precursor to what our plans are to establish ESP! as the most widely read publication in all of WorldsAway! We are pleased to announce that ESP! will have a sister publication starting the end of this month. We're targeting May 27 as the release date for the premiere edition of Volume 1 Issue 1 of the German ESP! This will be an independently run publication, with Zooey as its Editor. Plans are for the German ESP! to be released to the Newstand Library simultaneously with the English ESP! The German ESP! will not be merely a rehash of what's been published in its sister publication, English ESP! Even though it will share the ESP! masthead and struc- ture, it will have its own editorial staff, its own writers and its own special flavor. If you are interested in becoming a part of Zooey's staff and/or submitting articles to him (in German), please contact him at 101552,3560. Dread and I look forward to working with Zooey and his staff to provide Kymer with the *best* network of publications in all of Kymer. We also invite avatars who would be interested in establishing other ESP! sister publications (French, Spanish, etc.) to contact either one of us. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! Cover Story ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! {!} - How Garion and Ce'Nedra arrived in Kymer - {!} By Ce'Nedra Chapter One Garion and Ce'Nedra were born on Krikkit, third planet of the yellow star Beta Hydri. Krikkit is a mainly agricultural planet and produces some of the richest harvests of the Empire. Garion's parents were grain farmers and as a young boy Garion would enjoy helping them around the farm, and was gradually given more responsibility as he grew older. However, he had a secret dream which he did not dare to tell his parents about. He had a longing to join Intergalactic Space Explora- tion, the elite space travel organisation which was responsible for widening the boundaries of the known universe. Garion knew his father would be extremely angry if he ever found out about this dream because he was expecting Garion to take over the running of the farm eventu- ally, Garion being the only child in the family. On clear nights, Garion used to go and sit on the top of Konta Hill, which overlooked the whole community and gaze at the stars, wishing and wishing that one day he would be able to travel among them. One night when he was 17 years old, he was sitting in his usual spot on the hill when he heard the sound of someone crying. He stood up and looked all around but could not see anyone. He moved towards the sound. It seemed to be coming from just inside a small shallow cave that was set into the side of the hill. As he drew nearer, he could just make out the shape of a small girl, about eleven or twelve years old, sitting huddled in the entrance. She looked up as he approached and he could see the tears on her cheeks glistening in the starlight. It was Ce'Nedra, daughter of one of the teachers at the Community centre. He had seen her many times around the settlement but had never really spoken to her, thinking she was a little strange as she never smiled or played with the other children. She gave a startled cry when she saw him approach and tried to cover her face with her hands. "Hello, Ce'Nedra," said Garion, "what's the matter, why are you crying?" "Go away," sobbed Ce'Nedra, "I'm all right. Leave me alone." "I can see you're not," replied Garion. "I'm not going until you tell me." After a while the crying subsided and Garion persuaded Ce'Nedra to tell the whole story. It seemed that she had discovered, quite by chance, that she was able to write and sing songs. When her father had discovered her one day singing one of the songs she had written, he had beaten her and told her never to waste time on such rubbish again. She should, he said, be learning how to cook, clean and keep house, so that she would make a good and dutiful wife when the time came. She finished, "and said that if ever he caught me singing again, he would beat me so hard that I wouldn't be able to sit down for a week. What am I going to do Garion? I'll die if I can't sing any more. It's all I want to do." Then she started crying again. "Please don't cry," comforted Garion, "and I'll tell you all about my secret wish and why I can't have it." So he told her about wanting to join the Space Exploration team, and how his father would never allow it. "Why don't you come up here sometimes, with me?" Garion suggested. "You could sing your songs to me, while I'm looking at the stars." "Are you sure you wouldn't mind?" she asked, "You must have much better things to do than sit and listen to me. Don't you have a girlfriend you'd rather be with?" "No I don't. All the girls I know are very boring. All they are interested in is seeing who can spread the latest gossip the fastest. Tell you what, why don't you sing to me now?" So Ce'Nedra closed her eyes and sang the saddest song that Garion had ever heard. It was about a spirit trapped forever in a cold, dark dungeon, and longing to be set free. When she had finished Garion could hardly speak. When he did find his voice, he said "That was the loveliest song I have ever heard. Did you really write it yourself?" "Yes," she answered, "did you really like it?" "Very much," said Garion. "Whenever you feel like singing, come up here and sing to me." * * * Three years passed and during this time Garion and Ce'Nedra became good friends. She always came to sing her latest songs to him and he loved hearing them. She was never tired of listening about his ideas of what life might be like on other planets, far away. Then, just before her sixteenth birthday, her father told her that it was time she started thinking about getting married. "You are too old to still be living at home," he told her, "I cannot afford to keep you here any longer. I have your seven brothers and sisters to feed and clothe and my profession as a teacher pays very little. As you do not seem to be interested in any of the local young men, I have made enquiries, and it seems that when Seltsian, the Bailiff's son, was here with his father a short while ago, he noticed you and expressed an interest in you." "But Father!" protested Ce'Nedra, "I don't even know him, and all I can remember about him is that he's fat and ugly, and at least twice my age." "Nonsense, girl. I said it's time you were married. You're no use around here. All you do is go about with a stupid dreamy look on your face. I'll be glad to see the back of you. As he is the only man who seems willing to take you off my hands, that is what I have agreed." "But, Father, there is..." Ce'Nedra stopped. If she told her father about Garion, he would know she had been sneaking out of the house at night, and would beat her again. And she would still be forced to marry Seltsian. She decided to say nothing for the time being. As soon as night fell, she ran up to Konta Hill to tell Garion. (Ed.

For detailed information, and instructions on voting, see the Forum Library. {!} - Writing Competition: How I arrived in Kymer - {!} By Dread Seeing as most want to spend all day and night in their turfs these days, how about using that indoor time wisely and *start writing.* We would like to announce a competition which anyone can enter, as many as possible we hope. It will follow the *how I arrived in Kymer* theme. Your Story can be as short or as long as you like and will be judged by the ESP! editorial staff. The winner will be the most interesting and entertaining story. We're not sure what the prizes will be yet or of the closing date for entries. This advance notification is to advise you to start writing. Full details will be given shortly. All strength to your pen! {!} - Dread's Spot - {!} NewbieNews By Dread The NewbieNews section in ESP! was originally intended to inform newbies about WorldsAway from scratch. Brynne and I had decided that the first months should give a newbie a feel for this new and wonderful place. This would be presented as an educational series of features designed to cover the technical aspects as well as the inhabitants who live the dream. We started with a series of three techi intros; past, present, and a view of the future. Then we looked at relationships and did an avatar survey and finally looked at the groups of Kymer. The group outlines went well at first and I managed to get several. I thought it would be easier than it turned out to be. Unfortunately it has been very difficult to get information from many of the groups, almost impossible in some cases. Some have promised to write something, eventually. Others have not responded to my mails. Some I haven't been able to contact for weeks. I am always reluctant to talk about the negative side of Kymer, but this is ESP! and we tell it how it is. Before deciding to let the issue rest, I will make another effort to get as many group outlines as I can over the next weeks. So what news this week? Well the forum has had an overhaul. There are new sections and even a new SysOp. Congratulations to WhiteRose! Some people are having problems with the new Version 1.1 and others with 1.0. Many, including myself, have had to reinstall version 1.0 and funnily enough the PATCH upgrade didn't work for me either. Best head I saw was a blue dragon head worn by Ciria Devski ... that was before I spotted a pencil head in the turf lobbies. Best name I thought, was Nielos (It's all Greek to me!) and best turf was that of Sejanus and Aurelia who actually have a garden, no word of a lie! I visited a couple of group home pages but they were disappointing and so I have decided to do some WA stuff on mine, but don't hold your breath . Sabertooth's home page was the most enjoyable. The German newspaper Der Traumbote did not publish this week but when it does, it will contain an article I submitted on behalf of ESP! explaining our goals and giving them our best wishes. Much has been going on behind the scenes regarding a German publication and we have pleasure in announcing this week that this issue #11 is being translated into German. Brynne has told you more about our plans for an independently operated German ESP! for which Zooey will be the editor-in-chief. Zooey has been a regular contributor to the Multilingual Phantasus and we wish him well! Keep Smiling! {!} - Tales o' De Gray Dauphin - {!} "De Magistrates Daughter" By De Gray Dauphin, T'ief Extrordinaire Bonjour dere, mes amies! Dat's right, its me again, 'ere t' tell ya anot'er tale o' my incredible adventures. It was a long week, let me tell ya. Dat money I picked up off o' Fettod turned out t' be fake, an' it got me into tons o' trouble when I tried to spend it. Dat an' de auction, plus a li'l mess I got in wit' a couple o' skull 'eads an' I was t'inking I wouldn' see de end o' de week. But 'ere I am, an' I got quite de tale f'r ya dis time. Its seems a lot o' people been requestin' I go inta details 'bout dat whole magistrate's daughter t'ing I 'ad goin'. An' while I don' normally discuss personal stuff like dat, I figured I'd make an 'ception dis time. Now if you recall, I was in Khozus at de time de adventure took place. Y'see, I'm quite de li'l wanderer, an' I usually move from place t' place pretty frequently (usually 'cause I'm chased out o' de city, but what can I say!) My travels 'ad brought me to Khozus on a rumor I 'ad 'eard 'bout a wealthy magistrate who lived dere. When I arrived in de city I also 'eard dat de local T'ieves Guild took quite a cut from all de t'ieves profits, so I decided 'gainst informin' dem o' my presence. I began doin' my research, hangin' out at de local taverns an' such, seeing what information I could pick up about de magistrate. I t'ought it would be a tough job considerin' dat he was a member o' de law an' all, but I quickly found out dat dere was one weakness dat I could exploit. It seems dat he 'ad one possession dat he vauled 'bove all others ... a daughter. Now you could say dat when it comes t' women, I 'ave a certain charm dat makes dem real int'rested. I don' know if its de accent, my way wit' words, or my dashing good looks, but dey seem t' fall all over me. What c'n I say ... its a talent! Anyways, upon 'earing o' dis daughter, I realized my way t' de loot was t'rough her. De only problem was dat she always went inta de city wit' a couple o' guards who worked f'r her father, de magistrate. Took a li'l planning, but once I 'ad come up wit' a plan I put it inta motion right away. I found out dat de daughter liked to frequent dis one tavern on de upper west side o' de city (de upper west side o' Khozus being known f'r its rich traders), so wastin' no time I made my way dere. I spent a few nights dere enjoying de fine drinks (alt'ough dey cost a small fortune) 'fore one night she came in. Sure enough her two guards were wit' her. De t'ree o' dem were sittin' at a table across de room when I 'ad a waitress deliver de rose wit' my note attached. As I 'spected, she seemed pretty pleased t' get it, an' even better she followed de directions on it an' tol' de guards t' excuse her while she powdered her nose. She 'eaded for de ladies room, slippin' aroun' de bar when dey turned away, an' came over t' where I was sittin'. "Ah, ma cherie," I said, "you are even lovelier up close den you were at a distance. Please join me f'r a drink so dat I may gaze upon your beauty a li'l longer." She blushed at my words an' looked like she was 'bout to sit when she paused an' said, "I would, monsieur, but those men over there are my personal escort. If I don't return to the table right away, they will come looking for me. And they tend to look unfavorably on young gentlemen such as yourself." "Ah," I replied, "I wouldn' worry 'bout dem, cherie. I 'ave dem covered ..." At which point I nodded t'wards de two buxom women whom I 'ad paid t' keep dem, uhm, company.Both o' de guards 'ad deir full attention on de ladies. De magistrates daughter seemed genuinely pleased t' be free o' her escorts, an' promptly sat down across from me. Now I won' bore you wit' de details, needless t' say it was a good evenin'. An' it was followed by several more days of enjoyment by both me an' de magistrates beautiful daughter. We went all across de city toget'er spending some time 'ere an' dere. As each day passed, I could tell dat she was fallin' more an' more f'r me. Everyt'ing was going perfectly accordin' t' plan when a small li'l problem started to form. Y'see, she really was beautiful, an'... well I'm ashamed t' admit it, but I was fallin' f'r her as much as she was f'r me. I gotta tell ya dat I was even beginnin' t' t'ink 'bout settlin' down an' givin' up my t'ievin' profession. It might o' even 'appened, if not f'r a string o' unlucky events. It started when I 'eard dat de 'ead o' de T'ieves Guild from de previous city I 'ad visited, Thrumm, 'ad found out where I 'ad gone to, an' was sendin' a member o' de local Assasin's Guild t' take care o' me. Now de assasins o' Thrumm are known everywhere as 'aving never failed in a job, so I realized I would 'ave t' get out o' de city quickly. Selina 'ad invited me over t' her father's estate t' introduce me t' him, an' I figured dat I would tell her I 'ad t' leave dat night. I arrived at de place, a HUGE mansion built on de upper west side o' de city. A servant showed me in t' de main 'all where Selina was waiting. Her father wasn' dere yet, so I decided t' tell her right away. "Selina, ma cherie, I am 'fraid I got some bad news," I started, "y'see dere's dis li'l mess I'm in, an' I'm gonna 'ave t' leave de city. I don' t'ink I will be able t' return, an' its too dangerous f'r you t' come wit' me. I am sorry, ma cherie, but dere is no other way." De look on her face, dose big eyes welling up wit' tears almost tore my 'eart in 'alf. I wanted so bad t' go over dere an' 'old her one last time, but fate 'ad a few other t'ings planned for dat night. At dat moment, her magistrate father walked in, took one look at me, an' shouted, "Gray Dauphin!" It seems my reputation AND my 'ppearance 'ad proceeded me, an' I 'ad somehow ended up in de proverbial lion's den. Wit'in seconds dere was at least six guards crowded inta de room, an de magistrate 'ad unsheat'ed 'is blade. All o' dem were movin' in on me when dat sweet jeune fille Selina shoved a guard away by de stairs an' shouted, "Upstairs, quickly!" I wasted no time in runnin' up de windin' staircase, wit' her right on my heels. I could 'ear de guards an' de magistrate chasin' us up, but we managed t' make it t' her room an' lock de door 'fore dey caught up. Even as dey were bangin' deir way t'rough, Selina t'rew open de window an' turned t' face me. I could see in her eyes dat she knew who I was, an' what I did, but it didn' seem to diminish her feelin's f'r me at all. Wit' a long stride she was in front o' me, an' gave me one heck of a farewell kiss. "Now go," she whispered, "and take this with you." She lifted a heart shaped pillow off o' her bed an' pressed it inta my hands. "To remember me by..." she said with a 'eart meltin' look from dose big eyes. Wit' dat I jumped up onta de window sill, lookin' back jus' as de magistrate an' his goon squad broke inta her room. "Au revoir, ma cherie ... I will 'member you always ... " I said wit' a last, longin', glance her way, an' den I leapt from de window. I managed t' catch a tree branch on de way down, swung off o' it, an' landed wit' a soft t'ud on de grass outside. De magistrate was leanin' out o' de window cursing at me an' wavin' 'is sword, but he sure wasn' 'bout t' follow me. Wit'out furt'er pause, I turned an' 'scaped from de estate. A couple o' days later, after lying low f'r a while, I managed t'get myself onta a ship leavin' de 'arbour (dat was after my brief run in wit' de vampire Fettod, o' course). De captain seemed nice enough, 'cept f'r dat annoyin' parrot he kept, an' de Argo sure seemed like a sturdy ship t' be on. I c'n remember leavin' de 'arbour an' sailing out away from de city. I was standin' dere lookin' out over de rail at de city as it shrunk away in de distance, wond'rin' if I would ever see Selina again. Ah, ma cherie... {!} - Dream Turfs Committee Announcement - {!} By Sunray Love Love to all of Kymer!! Now that we have Turfs, I have formed a committee for the purpose of having a "TURF OF THE MONTH" contest every month. The name of this committee is called "Dream Turfs". What we plan to do each month is visit avatars turfs to be judged on style, color coordination, and in line with the themes of each month. The way this will work is this: one of our committee members will walk around with the owners while the other members are ghosted. The owner(s) can tell us how they got the ideas for the themes of their turfs and generally show us around. The committee will be keeping score and going on their own personal feelings of the different turfs they are in. We will vote on the turfs we visited and decide on a winner. The prize for the best Turf of the Month is still being worked out. But what ever the prize is, it will belong to the winner, to be displayed with pride for the good job he/she/they have done with their turf. This will be an on going job for the committee and one I know we will all enjoy doing. I have a very good group that is very trustworthy and honest. I know I will enjoy working with them. And I would like to thank them ahead of time for the hard work and time I know they will give to this project. We are working towards this being the first month of our contest and have gotten a very good response from the post in the forum by Charity Case. I wish you Love and Peace in the Waking World and the Dream World. {!} - The Witching Hour - {!} By Witchy I am only going to give you one water spell this week because so many Avey's (mostly female) have asked me to give them a weight loss spell, which I do have in my possession. I will continue with the water spells in the weeks to come. War Water --------- War Water (or iron water) was used to treat anemia by folk healers many years ago. It is not a particularly effective method for treating anemia, and there are far better ways to correct iron deficiencies today. It is almost never used medically by folk healers any more, but it has retained its value in magical practice. Magically, iron water is used to gain protection or to launch magical attacks. It is called War Water because it is one of the most useful weapons for engaging in psychic warfare. It has this reputation because of the superiority of iron weapons over the older weapons of bronze and stone. Iron is the metal of the planet Mars, the planet astrologers credit with ruling warfare and combat, as well as sex. Used for either defense or attack, war water is a strong carrier of the negative emotional energy used in magical battles. Iron is found in many urban water supplies. Naturally occurring iron water is not really any better than the homemade product. In some cases the homemade product is far superior, as natural iron water may also include undesirable ingredients. The following formula for War Water will produce a material that has a very strong and workable quality to it. Place about 3/4 pound of cut iron nails into a large (2 quart) bottle. "Cut nails" are the old fashioned nails that have a rectangular cross-section. They are still available from hardware stores as they are used as masonry nails. We use cut nails because they have a rough finish, and will rust easily. Add a half pint of drinkable tap water. Allow this to stand for eight or ten days until the nails begin to rust. Once the rusting process begins, add a quart of tap water. You can store the bottle in the refrigerator, or leave it in a cool place in your home. The bottle must be opened occasionally to allow enough air to enter to continue the rusting process. Once the water has a definite tinge of rust, usually about a week to ten days after you have added the quart of water, it is ready to use. Should you find any trace of mold or bacteria on the water, you should discard the water, the bottle and the nails. I have never had this happen, but I have heard that it can. To use the water, remove about two ounces of the rusty water from the bottle at a time. Add fresh tap water as water is removed and you will have an almost continuous supply of the war water. As this water is not often used, even in the midst of a psychic war, it is not necessary to concern yourself about running out once you have made some. A little war water goes a long way. Using War (or Iron) Water ------------------------- There are a number of ways that you can use iron water. It is generally used for protection, and you can take a bath to protect yourself, or you can use it in your home to protect yourself against specific spells. This water is especially beneficial when you want to protect yourself against acts of violence of any sort. Protection Bath --------------- Take two ounces of War Water and add it to a tub of water. Pray over the tub for general protection in life, as well as for protection against the specific influence you wish to have removed from your life. This could be as specific as "The thoughts of N.N.," "The evil work of N.N.," or so forth. You could also pray for general protection, but this should be done only rarely. Once a year is sufficient for a general protection bath, and it should be taken after you have protected your home with the war water. Soak in the tub for at least eight minutes, immersing yourself completely at least four times. You should air dry after this bath to maintain the protection around you. It is best if you avoid taking any other bath, even for cleansing, for twenty-four hours. This bath should not be taken more often than once a week. Usually, taken twice a year, this bath will protect you from the effects of any magician of better than average abilities. Protection Against Specific Spells ---------------------------------- To protect your home or apartment against the type of spell that is cast by placing something in the doorway or on the steps of a house, add two ounces of War Water to a mop bucket of water. Pray over the water to remove all negative influences from your doorway, your steps, and whatever else you intend to mop. Then mop the surfaces, wringing out the mop into another bucket. When you have finished, pour the mop water and the wringings into a street or a roadway. If you are going to declare psychic war on someone you should mop your stairs, porch, doorway, and any outside surfaces of your home on which anything can be cast or thrown before you begin the war. This ensures that you will be protected when the other person's inevitable counterattack comes. In most cases War Water will cause any spell which is placed on your doorstep to rebound instantly to the sender. Protection of a Home -------------------- This spell is especially suited to protecting a home from acts of violence, whether the violence is psychic or physical. This spell may be done annually if desired. The best day to do this in a Christian home is on the feast day of St. John the Baptist, on June 24. In a pagan or non-religious home, the best day is the day of the summer solstice, about the 21st of June. Add two ounces of War Water to a mop bucket of water. Pray over the water for the protection you want. If you are a Christian, you should pray in the name of St. John the Baptist. Lightly mop the house out, from top to bottom, front to back. Wring your mop into another bucket. Throw out the water and the wringings from the back door of the house if you have a back door. Rinse out the bucket and mop and pour the rinse water down the toilet. If you don't have a back door, flush the water down the toilet and rinse out the bucket and mop and flush that water, too. Weight Loss Magic Program ------------------------- What good would magic be, if it could not provide for one of women's basic needs, that of losing weight? In fact it is a simple deed to perform, if a bit lengthy - but what are a few days of magic, when sometimes years of efforts, strenuous gymnastics, and suicidal diets have failed! It might even sound too good to be true, yet true it is. And this you have to believe, as it is the only pre-requisite for this magic to work: that unconditionally you believe in it. If you are halfhearted about it, you might as well give up and take up weight-lifting instead. For this magic you need two things: jasmine essence, and a quartz crystal. Jasmine is the flower of femininity. (I am supposing this magic to be directed to a woman - of course men do want to lose weight too. If this is the case determine from a flower section or herb section, which plant would suit you best for this magic). Jasmine is the flower of senses, of pleasure, of physical attraction. The best suited therefore to bring you back in touch with the pleasure of being in your skin, of looking and feeling attractive, the feeling that exudes naturally from a healthy and balanced body. In fact all the responsibility for weight problems resides somewhere in the body's loss of its ability to stay balanced. Deficiencies on the emotional or mental plane are interfering with the body's natural wisdom. When its balance is impaired its happiness is lost. Through jasmine you may magically evoke that lost sensuous joyfulness. With the crystal quartz you focus your energies on the issue at hand, and give staying power to the healing forces. Begin the process during the day, when the moon is full. Cleanse and dress yourself and sit in your magic place. Place the jasmine flowers or essence and also the quartz crystal in front of you together with the symbols of the elements (air, fire, water and earth). As you call the powers a different element will present itself to you, according to where the imbalance is in you. That will of course change the shape of the incantation. In this example I will use the element air - on the basis of this example you can work out the different variations. So air is in this case the element which speaks, the power which will help you with this magic. Words belong to air magic. Now inhale the scent of the jasmine and relax deeply to ask your subconscious to give you a word - the key word for this magic. For a few minutes you are sitting with your eyes closed, thinking of nothing. When you sense your mind beginning to wander astray, touch the quartz - its magical powers will help immediately to focus your attention again. Soon the key word will form itself in your conscious mind: in this example it is "independence". It does not matter that you understand why this particular word should be your key word. Certainly a reason is there, your unconscious has its own deep wisdom - but it is not important that you should be consciously aware of its motives. Every night, from the full moon to the black moon, you will rub a few drops of jasmine oil on your naked body. While doing this, let the key word "independence" stay in your mind. As you revel in the fragrance of the jasmine, relaxing, images will come to your mind, suggestions as to how to expand on the independence in your life. Maybe you will have a vision of yourself learning a foreign language. Following these suggestions is an essential part of this magic; if you want it to work you will have to find a way. The quartz crystal will help you with that. If you find yourself saying, "I have too much to do, I cannot possibly fit this in, I never was good at languages anyway," etc., touch the crystal and feel its energy for a few seconds. It will immediately give you clarity and firmness of purpose, and you will be able to see what you need to do, and have the determination to do it. Every night, before going to sleep, rub the essence on your body, and experiment with your key word. Keep the crystal with you at all times for this period - to touch it whenever you feel that you need to do so. Thanks to the magic of the flower, of the crystal, and of the key word given to you by the power air, a deep change will start in this period. A change which will enable you to regain your natural balance, and the grace and beauty that go with it. Blessed * Be !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! A Multilingual Phantasus ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! {!} - Abschied und Neubeginn - {!} By Zooey Hallo Leute. Tja, wie es scheint, heisst es jetzt Abschiednehmen. Das hier ist vorerst mein letzter Artikel fuer diese ESP! - und er ist recht kurz ausgefallen. Aber bevor jetzt ganz Phantasus in Traenen ertrinkt : Geduldet Euch zwei Tage und schaut dann noch einmal in den Newsstand. Ihr werdet eine šberraschung erleben: die DEUTSCHE ESP!, eine eigene Zeitung fuer die und von den deutschen Avatars in WorldsAway. Geht bitte bei dieser ersten deutschen Ausgabe nicht zu streng mit uns um - es kann sein, dass uns hier und da noch einige Fehler unterlaufen. Doch wir (Brynne, Dread und ich) denken: Wir koennen hier etwas Besonderes auf die Beine stellen. Das klappt allerdings nur, wenn von euch Resonanz kommt - Kritik, Anregungen, eigene Beitraege in jeder Form. Schliesslich wollen wir nicht einfach die englische Ausgabe uebersetzen, um den Deutschen das Lesen zu erleichtern; es geht um mehr: Die deutsche ESP! soll ein eigenstaendiges Produkt werden, zugeschnitten auf die Interessen seiner Leserschaft. Also: Ihr alle seid zum Mitmachen aufgerufen. Schreibt mir, schickt mir Eure Reportagen, Gedichte, Kommentare, Ankuendigungen, Gruppeninformationen und Anzeigen. Helft mit, dieses "Kind" erwachsen werden zu lassen, eine interessante, lebendige Zeitung zu gestalten. Und es werden nicht nur Beitraege angenommen, wir brauchen auch noch Leute, die sich an der Produktion beteiligen. Meldet Euch bei mir, entweder per Email unter 101552,3560 oder inworld per ESP. Nun denn - ich hoffe, wir sehen (lesen) uns bald wieder. Und nicht vergessen: Bleibt immer weg von offenen Fenstern. :-) {!} - Hispaniclytes - {!} By Hispaniclyte Ivan Boricua En Espanol-Hispaniclyte Boricua Muchas felicidades atrasadas a todas esas madres en WA, espero hayan pasado un FELIZ!

Esta semana les traigo un fragmento de un poema de Jose M. Gabriel y Galan dedicado a las madres: Mi madre me dio la vida: mi madre arrullo mis suenos cuando en mi infancia querida sonaba el alma dormida con horizontes risuenos. Alzome su amor altares sembro mi vida de flores y un templo fueron mis lares al rumor de sus cantares y al calor de sus amores. Como poderlo olvidar si ella me enseno a marchar por la senda del deber, y ella me enseno a creer! Que dulzura tan ardiente me daba su labio amante, cuando besaba mi frente con ese amor delirante que solo una madre siente! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

The Kymer Poste Restante Service (KPRS) started operations at 2:00 p.m. WAT on Monday 6th May 1996. The service allows Avatars to leave a message with the KPRS operator for later collection by the recipient. Ever wanted to leave a message for someone: 'Sorry can't meet you today as planned' 'Enjoyed our chat yesterday - meet me at VC at 6:00 p.m. WAT' 'Come to my party at Homestead - 9:00 p.m. WAT Friday' 'Don't forget to buy the Eggs' Well now you can and you don't have to come out of WA to leave it, and you don't have to know their E-Mail ID, just the Avatar name. Initially the service has operated between 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. WAT while final testing completed. Now we aim to operate during three time slots 2:00-3:00 p.m. WAT, 7:00-8:00 p.m. WAT and 10:00-11:00 p.m. WAT. It may take a little time to organize so be patient. The operator will be stationed outside the Library (next to the Visitors Center) during opening hours. You may leave a message for another Avatar with the operator. Any Avatar may ask the operator whether there are any messages for them, and may then pick up waiting messages. SO - WHETHER YOU LEAVE A MESSAGE OR NOT, BE SURE TO CHECK WHETHER ANYBODY HAS LEFT A MESSAGE FOR YOU!! In order to use the service, PC Windows users may download the KPRS.EXE file from the Library 'WA Plugins' area of the AwayForum. This is a VB3 program and will need the VB3 support files also posted in the forum (unless you already have them). MAC users - don't despair. The system has been designed so that it can be used without the need of a program. Look at the MACKPRS.TXT file in Library 'WA Plugins' area of the AwayForum for more information. Come and see us 'Outside the Library' during operating hours. Oh - I forgot to mention - ITS FREE FREEEE FREEEEEE!!! I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who helped to bring the idea to fruition - in particular: Bibiana for being so supportive during the trials (and in general). Wert P Gumby (and Mrs Wert) for programming advice and help. Odo Nata Too for programming the Client Software. Chief Duckolyte Mark for his support, encouragement and brainpower. The SYSOPs (Hunter in particu- lar) for checking it out so nicely. All the KPRS Operators who are raring to go! All the interested people who contacted me with ideas and help. {!} - Trivia at Bratolyte Hall - {!} By Mistweave Monday May 6 Topic was American Slang ------------------------ Door prizes: Naughty Girl - rare body paint Helpolyte Marla - Hot chocolate Skandranon - tiny valentine 1st Place - Sappholyte Normala Orlando II: Lacy Heart Head 2nd Place - Skandranon: Rare Head & body paint 3rd Place - Naughty Girl: fern Friday May 10 Topic was Garden/Plants -------------------------- Door prizes: Lord Will-Chief Golden Knight - tiny valentine heart Quite Winds - flowers (vase) Sublime - hot chocolate 1st Prize - Lady Dimandra-Golden Knight: Rosehead w/rare head & body paints 2nd Prize- Grim Reeper : Rosehead painted rare bronze & rare body paint 3rd Prize - Kira: Fern Next Trivia Game at Bratolyte Hall ---------------------------------- Friday, May 17 at 8:00 p.m. WAT.

The Grand Opening of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club, Friday, May 10, was a SUCCESS and attended by 31 avatars. Despite the snafus we encountered over the evening ... including Staff shortages, avatars crashing left and right, and Spiney Norman and MEAF's attempts to spoil everything, most everyone had a great time. The majority of those attending expressed their intentions of re- turning again next week and were going to tell their friends about the club. Congratulations to the winners of the door prize drawings. They were as follows: BlackWarrior, a baby bear Arachne, a rare rose head Hoolio, a baby bear Next week, we will have three new door prizes to draw from throughout the evening By the end of the evening, we (Dennis S and Duckolyte Lindy) were dragging, but satisfied that we had provided an atmosphere that encouraged good conversation, a little romance and lots of fun. Fairly early in the evening, MEAF crashed Pepper's without paying and proceeded to steal several items of decoration before he could be ejected. Spiney Norman attempted to crash several times and in doing so, stole a couple of items as well. Thank goodness these items were only decorations like empty boxes and candy hearts. But it's not the value of the thefts, it's the fact that these two avatars disrupted the evening with their thefts. They were ejected as quickly as possible. Security will be tightened, attendance up, crashes not a factor (we hope), and romance heightened at Sgt. Pepper's next Friday. Known thieves and harassers will be turned away or ejected as quickly as possible. Join us from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. WAT, Friday, May 17, for our next Lonely Hearts Club get together.

Phantasus Avatar Groups ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! {!} - The Empire - {!} By Golden Knight Imperator SP and Zooey Greetings, Avatars of Kymer. We would like to introduce the "Empire": Empire is a company Golden Knight Imperator SB founded for many pur- poses. The most important one: Belonging to the Empire, a "community in the community", is a chance to get the hang of WorldsAway quickly, to have fun right from the start, to make friends. There will be meetings, Avatars will discuss a variety of topics in "conferences". There will be votes and decisions: if there are many people working together wanting the same thing, our wishes and dreams can come true. But of course there are other things to do: Chat, help Newbies, make friends, provide protection and collect money that allows us to support others and to perform special events. There's one basic thought in the Empire: Everyone is needed and important as well. The Empire needs many people to work perfectly, there are many jobs to do. You are free to ask any question, your suggestions are very welcome, we are not afraid of criticism and different points of view because we don't think of ourselves as infallible or highest moral autorities. Let's cut things short: We hope to make the Dreamscape an even better place than it already is. We hope that you are interested in joining us. If so, email Golden Knight Imperator SP (101517,2266) and let him know some things about you: -Real World Name -Avatar's Name -Email Adress -WA-Experience Thank you! PS: If you dont want to join the EMPIRE, tell us why, and perhaps some things can be changed or improved. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

The humans behind the Duckolyte avatars and the Krewe itself follow the wisdom of the duck as one of nature's most adaptable, intuitive, intelligent, sociable, and peace-loving members of the Peaceable Kingdom. The mission of the Krewe of the Duckolytes is to create fun and friendship within Kymer. The goals of our Krewe are: building and maintaining bonds of friendship and trust among the members of the flock, providing games and entertainment for citizens of Kymer, taking innocent and new avatars under our wings, promoting good citizenship among the flock and among Kymerians, and offering help to those in need. Our purpose is flocking together in a mutually-supportive way to further the goals of the Krewe. Avatars who are familiar with the Duckolytes are noticing some changes in our organization. We wanted to build upon the existing Duckolyte traditions of providing events and of assisting new avatars, emphasizing role-play and fun, while building visibility and identity for our group. In line with the tradition of Mardi Gras parades, and in keeping with our roles as Kymerian waterfowl, our standing committees have become Floats, our temporary committees are now Formations, and we have revised the names of our officers to reflect our desire to soar to our maximum potential. Our leader, formerly styled the Arch Duckolyte, is now titled the Wing Commander. Senior Chiefs are now Senior Wings, and the title Chief has been revised to Wing. Because we want new members of our flock to share in the bonding that comes with a period of intiation, Duckolyte Candidates are now Hatchlings, and new Duckolytes who have been initiated, but who are still in training, are Fledglings. We are always seeking avatars who believe that fun makes community spirit fly. If you are interested in flying and floating with the Duckolytes, just ask any Wing or Senior Wing you may meet online. Brains, our Wing Commander, is friendly and approachable, and is always interested in meeting avatars who want to stop sitting on the sidelines and are ready to get quacking. We invite you to come and share our fun. President: Brains, Wing Commander Members: 50 PR Contact: Disco Duck, Wing Special Projects Motto: Friendship, Fun, Benevolence {!} - A New Avatar's Guide to the WorldsAway Community Forum - {!} By Disco Duck, Duckolyte Wing To mutilate a well-known quote from the Bard, "Some are Forum, Some are Againstum, and some don't know, but contribute for the fun of it." The Worlds Away Community Forum (GO TRA-39) is part public library, part archive, part software store, part tour book, part metropolitan newspaper, part tabloid, and part conference center. It is a valuable addition to Kymer life because it is so eclectic, and because it is a cost-effective way to maximize enjoyment of the Dreamscape. Wander in, take a look around, and you're almost certain to find something that interests you, engages your attention, or elevates your blood pres- sure. All of these things are part of the Forum flavor, fun, folklore, and fascination. Here are some suggestions to help new avatars get the most out of the Worlds Away Community Forum. 1) Before visiting the Forum, remember to review the Conference Preferences you set as part of your Forum Preferences under the Special pull-down menu on the opening CISscreen. If you're busy or don't have time to chat, be sure to indicate "Ignore" under Talks and Invitations. 2) To have access to all the sections, you must join the Forum. If you decide to join right away, use your avatar name, because that is the name by which other Kymerians know you. 3) Click on the Who's Here icon in the Forum toolbox. If you see an avatar you know, it's OK to say Hello and to wave, unless that avatar has placed after his or her name. Think of a Forum "send" as an unexpected knock on someone's door. After the other avatar has responded to your greeting, it's nice to ask if that person has a few minutes to spare. If that person does have a minute or two, be sure to ask any questions you may have about the Forum. It's a great way to get a tour from an experienced avatar-guide. 4) Next, click on the set of books. That is the Forum Library, where you can download software, pictures of other avatars, Kymer periodicals, and information about Worlds Away. Take a few minutes to browse the various sections. Like exploring the stacks in a public library, browsing the Forum Library is the best way to learn what is available. You will be surprised at the variety and quality of the Library resources, which are updated very frequently, so be sure to dip in and savor the flavor. 5) After you've examined the Library resources, and, perhaps, even downloaded a few of them, click on the document icon in the Forum toolbox. That innocuous-looking little icon is your gateway to some of the most interesting sections in the Forum, and some of the best solutions to any installation or software problems you may encounter when using WorldsAway. When you click on the document icon, several major sections will be revealed: Installation Help Help Desk InWorld Events Discussion and Issues Forum Flames If your machine hiccoughed after downloading the software, Install- ation Help can provide the information you need to get WorldsAway running on your machine. Help Desk is the section to check if you have encountered any difficulties using the software after you have actually entered Kymer, or if you have any questions about WorldsAway software or about the Kymer environment. InWorld Events helps you get the most from your time inworld by pro- viding a handy day-by-day calendar of what is happening in Kymer, where and when it is happening, and who is the contact person if you have any questions about the game or event. This is your master key to the games, social events, and cultural offerings of Kymer. The diverse offerings inworld show that there is something for everyone in Kymer, whether you are a chatter, a gamer, a debater, or a shopper. Be sure to join the fun! Everybody has an opinion, and the Discussion and Issues gives you the opportunity to start a discussion, to join an existing one, to participate in a survey, or simply to take the current temperature of the social climate. Warning: Discussion and Issues is fun, but it can get hot, too. Some writers are dispassionate and issue-oriented, some are very personal. Some are chilly, some are ablaze with conviction. Just as everyone participating in Discussion and Issues has an opinion about the issues, those who are frequent contributors have, and freely express, opinions about each other. It is a good idea to lurk for a week or two before jumping into a discussion, just to learn who's who and what's what. If you find the cultural climate in Discussion and Issues stimulating, you may want to jump into a discussion, or you may find it more comfortable to read, but not to contribute. Approach this section with a viewpoint of curiosity and fun, and you may find that adds that certain touch of piquancy to your life in Kymer. Forum Flames is reserved for messages which are, literally, too hot to fit into other sections of the Forum. In any society, there will be strong affinities and equally-strong antipathies, and if you are become an active participant in the Forum, you, too, will be on the receiving end of a thorough roasting now and then. You may even want to flame-broil someone else. This is the tabloid section of the Forum, and, like all tabloids, messages in the Forum Flames section are based more on sensationalism and appeals to emotion than on fact and appeals to logic. If you find it depressing, this section is easily ignored. The WorldsAway Community Forum is a source of information and enjoy- ment. Stop by. Take a look around. You are almost certain to find something that appeals to you. Editor's Note: Since the writing and submission of this article, two new sections have been opened in the Forum message area: Gatherings Away (for discussion and planning of Real World get- togethers of Kymerians) and WorldsAway Plugins (the place to get information about all those add-ons that our avatars are creating to go with the software; i.e., game programs, utility programs, etc.) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

Contributing Reporter: SunRay Hera ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! {!} - My First Day - {!} by SunRay Hera Once upon a time, when our World was new, and newcomers were few and open buildings fewer, there was an avatar who had just stepped off the Argo. Walking cautiously down Cypress Street, having seen a Nu-Yu sign, the new avatar was curious about creating a new you of herself. Realizing much goings on would undoubtedly be taking place there, she headed in that direction. All of a sudden, she stumbled into a locale called V-Mart. What's this? People have curious objects under their arms and in their hands. What's that? Why, they are "pawning" those items for cash or tokens as the avatar would find out later. Must be something happening inside, just through that door everyone seems to be using. So the avatar decided to investigate this further. Inside the V-Mart, she found machines called vendroids. The vendos had many wonderful and beautiful items for sale in them. The avatar thought to herself, "this looks just like a mall!" So she stepped right up to a machine and tried to make a purchase. After some fiddling with the gadgets required to operate the vendo, she discovered, to her dismay, that she didn't have any tokens. Much later, she learned that in her eagerness to explore this new world, she had not visited the cabin aboard the Argo and missed an opportunity to find 50 tokens waiting for her. Since the avatar did not have any tokens in her possession, she left the V-Mart and searched for a friendly passerby to help with her predicament. After taking some wrong turns, unknown to the newcomer at the time, she found herself at a gorgeous fountain. But wait! There was more than one fountain. How many fountains were there? She did not know that it was one BIG fountain with many faces, many shapes, and wondrous surprises. Feeling a sense of being lost, the avatar panicked when she found that she could not *leave* the fountain area. Finally, after much circling, she managed to exit the fountain locales and return to the more friendly sights known as street locales. Walking down Gnarled Oak Street, our new avatar found some other avatars. "Hello. How are you?" they asked. "I'm lost and I don't have any money!" she explained. Recognizing that she was new, she seemed to be adorned with a head they called a "newbie", they asked if she picked up her 50 tokens from the chest on the Argo. "What's an Argo?" she asked, and after much discussion it was deter- mined she needed to visit an ATM. So one of the helpful avatars asked the newcomer to follow along and he would help her find an ATM. Oh NO!!! She was back at the fountain. The dreaded fountain locale, where newbies search endlessly for a way out. Walking up to the ATM and stepping all over the person currently using the machine, she heard, "Pardon me, but I am using the ATM. Could you please wait for your turn?" The new avatar was feeling pressured to leave this unknown world and leave rapidly. How was she ever going to accomplish withdrawing her tokens, return to the V-Mart, and purchase some of those lovely items she saw? Besides the items, everyone seemed to be running around with these glorious heads and brightly colored clothing. Just when all hope of solving these seemingly simple tasks had disap- peared, an avatar asked if she needed some help. "YES!" was the answer heard by all. "How can I help you." she asked the new avatar. "Well everyone, seems to be walking around with the most beautiful heads. I need some hair or a stylist to help me look prettier." So the new acquaintances struck up a conversation about clothes, hair, and heads. They agreed a shopping trip was in order. "But wait! I don't have enough tokens!" the newcomer said. "That's okay, we can work that out later," her new friend exclaimed. So they headed over to the Nu-Yu shop, where her friend patiently waded through the head vendroids and found our newcomer an appropriate head (the Wendy head). And then they proceeded to the V-Mart and selected some nice colors to go with the head. This made the newcomer feel so much better. She actually felt like she was at home now that she looked like the rest of the citizens wandering about the streets. "How much do I owe you?" asked the new avatar. "Nothing!" replied her new friend. "It's on me!" "How can I ever repay you?" asked the newcomer. "Just do the same for other new citizens as I have done for you." she replied. To this day, our avatar has tried to live up to this joyous beginning. <> {!} - Poetry Pantry - {!} by SunRay Dream Keeper Sponsored by the Sunray Knights of Kymer's Poetry & Storytelling Guild The Poetry Pantry meets at the "Outside the Phantasus Library" locale.

SunRay Fawn, Sunray Knight Oliver, ThunderEagle, SrK, Acolyte Milen and I met to work out some of the ways we can administer such a large guild. We have added some people as Helpers to the Facilitators. ThunderEagle will join us as a Helper to bear some of the load contacting the membership. He will be emailing all of you this next week. He also has a wonderful idea for a Kymer wide event to bring the citizens out of their turfs for a "block party." Please help him plan this event.

See you there. {!} - Mythology Guild Decorates GuildHall - {!} by SunRay Render I happened to visit with the Mythology Guild this week in their new turf and WOW! It was wild! The members were running around painting the wall and floors, and renaming them too! It **is** a beautiful turf if you get the chance to see it. Some of the more lofty names seen inscribed were: Oceans of Dreams Fields of Light Clouds of Love Pastures of Thought Passage to the Neosphere Footfalls of a Myth A Sky of Dreams Stairway to the Stars The Fires of Imagination The Beginnings of a Destiny Everyone had a good time with the naming and there were many that didn't make the plaques. {!} - Indigo's Condition Update #5: - {!} by SunRay Render I spoke with Indigo, Ravenwhyte, and Fawn this week. Indi is doing better and better. The doctors have completed their testing. She has been resting well, and waiting for news of her release. During the last few days the doctors are watching for anything to be concerned about and finding nothing. If everything continues to improve, she may get to go home real soon. I know we would all feel uplifted when that news comes. I'll continue to keep you up to date and collect the mail for her. Send your get well email to me if her box becomes full. She has read everything sent so far and expressed amazement at the wealth of friends who love her. She told me to tell you she returns your love with smiles. Peace to each of you, gather the light for Indi, and keep the vigil strong. To be placed on Indigo's Update mailing list, email me, Render, at 103135,2612. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! Letters to the Editors ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dear Editors: In your last issue, Cassandra Kane told of her encounter with Encanto. I would like to add my testimonial to Cassandra's, because Encanto is truly a special man. When I was still relatively new to Kymer, this gentleman stopped and complimented me quite nicely. He disappeared briefly, but he returned a few minutes later, and presented me with a vase of roses. After another beautiful compliment, he left me to enjoy my new flowers. I do not know why Encanto provides these wonderful gifts, or how he can possibly afford them, given the current auction prices, but I feel honored to have been the recipient of his attention. Such a fine man deserves special recognition in our community. Thank you, Mary Mary Editor Brynne's note: We have heard many wonderful tales of Encanto!

I currently use the Moon Garden Tarot, a beautiful Tarot deck focused on the feminine energies of the moon. Readings can be tailored to your time, questions/interest, and how much you would like to spend (i.e., longer, more complex readings would cost more). I encourage you to give this a try.
