Turfs Grand Opening! Please join the Oracles on Temple Street, outside the new Turf Building for this long-awaited, gala event. Be among the first to own your own Dreamscape apartment! EDITORS NOTE: The notice above is short and sweet, but we want you, our readers, to know that we'll be making the move into turfs right along with you to help you out. Look to the CLARION for help in ideas for decorating your turf. Tips for Turf Security. A place to advertise for turfmates. Yes, as the dreamscape grows, we hope to grow right along with it. Your support, input and help make this possible, and we thank you for it. >>**|**<< >>**|**< FORUM NOTICE >**|**<< ATTENTION MEMBERS! Has an avatar of yours appeared to have been deleted? We have encountered a problem with those avatars who have changed their name twice or more, then try and change their name back to the original name. Example: Annette --> Myron --> Cherie--> Annette (deleted avatar) It may appear that your avatar has been completely deleted when you try and log in again after you've made the name changes. DO NOT create a new avatar if this has happened to you. We are working on bringing back your avatars, and creating a new one in its place may make it more difficult to get your old one back. Please send in a *SYSOP message with the details of your missing avatar. Include where you were the last time and what time you were last logged in. Let us know if you get a "New" selection besides your alternate avatar, or if you've already created a new avatar.

Here's what we talked about: Chief PI Banana Lord: I notice when I click on your head, it gives the default head stuff. Can you take it off? Oracle Uni: We Oracles do not remove our heads. Chief PI Banana Lord: But can you? Oracle Uni: It is within the range of our physiology, yes, but outside the range of our psycho-social dynamics. It is not socially appropriate. Chief PI Banana Lord: I take my head off to you! So, what powers over the Dreamscape do you get? Oracle Uni: Power is a sacred matter. We prefer to engage power among (community empowerment) rather than power-over (a more totalitarian choice). Chief PI Banana Lord: For instance, if I gave you a head, could you stick it onto a wall? Oracle Uni: Yes, I can stick things on the wall. Chief PI Banana Lord: Could you demonstrate? Oracle Uni: I can do many things, but power is not a toy and I do not waste it in play. Chief PI Banana Lord: You Oracles are definitely a sensible lot! Oracle Uni: We have very great responsibilities and so we must take things more seriously than not. Chief PI Banana Lord: I agree totally! What qualifications does it take? Oracle Uni: Every Oracle's qualifications are alike in some ways and different in other ways from each other. Chief PI Banana Lord: A PhD in computer science? Oracle Uni: I myself have a PhD in East-West Psychology. I have taught Human Development at the University. I do research in the field of Anthropology, as well. Chief PI Banana Lord: Heavy stuff! Oracle Uni: So my expertise is in crosscultural studies, conflict mediation, group dynamics and community. Chief PI Banana Lord: Only two more questions #1 - What does Morpheus look like and does he appear? Oracle Uni: Morpheus can appear in alternate guises. He travels very seldom, however, as he is generally asleep in the Nephosphere. Chief PI Banana Lord: Just out of interest - do you have the power to kick people out of the 'Scape? Oracle Uni: Yes, of course. Chief PI Banana Lord: Incredible. Oracle Uni: We have all power but we hold that power sacred and do not throw it around for entertainment. Chief PI Banana Lord: Of course not! Is it like a pull-up menu --> Kick out? This community needs people like you, and HHC and his lot are ruining it. Oracle Uni: That is one perspective. Chief PI Banana Lord: Question #2 - Can I see the void? Oracle Uni: If you were in the Void, then you would see it. Chief PI Banana Lord: I have a GIF, but its nothing like the cyber-thing! Oracle Uni: But as you are not there, you cannot see it. The void is not a weekend get-a-way. Chief PI Banana Lord: Is it true it was a programming accident? Oracle Uni: We honor the power of legends here in the Dreamscape. As to whether a legend is true, well that would depend, I suppose, upon the level of consciousness of the user. Chief PI Banana Lord: An accident of creation then? Where two alternate time-spans mix and cause a rift - a Void. Oh yes, this is just personal - When are Turfs coming???!!! Oracle Uni: If you were to fast from this moment on until turfs arrive, you would not be hungry for long. Chief PI Banana Lord: Thank you very much for your time, Oracle Uni. >>**|**<< >>**|**< THE EDITOR SPEAKS >**|**<< By Marianne G So much to cover, so little memory to remeber it all.... First off, the FROM THE BOARDS Segment, that includes the Heroe's of the Dreamscape have been taken out of the CLARION and put into the CLARION COMIC PAGES. That should be coming out soon, with some great cartoons submitted by our readers! The only thing holding it up is my attempt at art ---- I'm working on my first lesson, drawing a straight line. It's not as easy as it looks :D But I do hope you will take a look at FROM THE BOARDS and the letter from Trapper. Are you one who has forgotten to take time and smell the roses? Say hi as you pass others? Acknowledge others presence? We all have rushed and busy lives.... and it's understood that you may not have time to say hello.... but perhaps a wave as you rush past? That's that F6 key for those who need a refresher course :D I also hope that Trapper reads the many replies, and realizes that people DO care, and will miss him. Also, Del The Wise, in her post to Sunray Knight Haplo, serves to remind us to have consideration for others. Lets do try and NOT block those teleport and ATM areas. But what's in this issue you ask? Well, we start off with the Turf announcement, and word that that strange man seen around here is actually the building manager! If I had known, I would have given him a special something so maybe I could get a nicer turf :D We have not one, but TWO fantastic stories for you this issue. For those who have been following them, you know how good they are. We are hoping to announce, officially and soon, that Clover and Passion will be coming on board to provide you with help and hints when it comes to making that turf look great. We already added Moonlight Knight to the staff, and he'd love to see your poems! I have to tell you, now that turfs are right down the street, it only leaves me dreaming of ummm, a ponytail head and a CHOKE machine. Heck, the CHOKE would look good in an apartment lobby, don't you think? >>**|**<< >>**|**< SEEN ON THE STREETS >**|**<< By Acolyte Rosaleah Was that Marryin' Sam we saw the other day at the Rose Garden? Uh .. no ... I guess it was really Cupid playing tricks on us. However, we know we *did* see an Ordination Ceremony at the Tabernacle, with Oracle Uni officiating. Also attending were Acolyte Sunray Indigo, Acolyte Sunray Data, and Acolyte Brynne. The decorations were breathtaking! (See the ordain.gif included with this issue.) The five newly-ordained avatars -- Bog, Sunray Ann, Piemur, Arch Duckolyte Brains, and Sunray LumMoose-Kymer Guardian -- can now perform weddings in an official capacity. And judging by all the wedding plans we've overheard being made lately, they'll all be kept very very busy by all the lovers of Phantasus. Or maybe that wasn't Cupid *or* Marryin' Sam ... some fellow in glasses, lugging a ... computer? ... around, looking for Temple Street. That was it! He was muttering something about a large apartment building (we hadn't seen one) and asking about rentals. Rentals? He said he definitely needed a place to plug in his computer. We pointed to the Magic Shop. Mebbe in there, we said, though that's magical, not electrical, energy. He looked at us with an expression that can only be called askance. 'Well,' we said, 'the only thing we've ever seen on a monitor like that is WorldsAway, and that's pretty magical.' 'Records,' he muttered, 'I use it for keeping records.' And with that, he walked smartly west of the Magic Shop ... we tried to follow, but for some reason, we couldn't. ::shrug:: Does anyone know what the frogs are up to lately? We saw a few standing around outside Regency Hall the other night, just ... standing there. Silent. Well, occasionally catching a fly or two, but otherwise they were very very still. We understand there are far more male than female frogs in Phantasus ... could there be a connection, do you think? >>**|**<< >>**|**< WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENTS AND REPORTS >**|**<< After the first big crash of 96 foiled their first attempt of the day, Frank E. & Dimandra were married on April 13th 1996. The wedding was performed by Acolyte Zippy . Maid of Honor was Annalea, and best man was Masseb Skeleton. Since this was very spur of the moment, and due to the fact that the groom kept crashing...we haven't had a reception. F3 Anyway... I have changed my name to Dimandra E and thats about it. See ya in-world :-) Dimandra E >>**|**<< Gorthaur the Cruel and Aradia were wed April 18th in the Tabernacle at 6pm WAT. Acolyte Ravenwhyte officiated. Reception followed at the Magic Shop. >>**|**<< The moment you have all been waiting for! (Well it's the moment *I've* been waiting for at any rate) Coondog and Tinkerbelle will join together in love and friendship on Saturday, April 27th at 4:00pm WAT in the Rose Garden of Mediation Park. The ceremony will be performed by the newly ordained, multi-talented Bog. Immediately following the wedding the reception will be held in the Bar L Bar. All are invited!!! Tinkerbelle >>**|**<< Darkwolf and I would like to announce our engagement. We will announce the wedding date when we decide on it. Thank you all friends Moochas >>**|**<< >>**|**< MENOLLY'S PUZZLE CORNER >**|**<< By Menolly These are the answers to last week's puzzles. 1. *Moses* didn't take any animals into the Ark. *Noah* did. 2. 70 3. 1 hr. 30 mins. (You take the first one at, say 1pm, that lasts 30 mins, so you take the second at 1.30, that lasts 30mins, and you take the last one at 2pm. that lasts 30 mins, so the total time is 1hr. 30 mins.) 4. There are 2 sides in a circle, the inside and the outside. 5. A dog can run exactly halfway *into* a wood, after that, he is running *out* of the wood. 6. All the countries have a 4th July. 7. The bear was white, because it was a polar bear, which are only found in the North Polar region; so, if the man's house had every side facing south, it must have been at the North Pole. 8. You would light the match first. 9. An average man only has one *Birth*day, the day when he was born. 10. Because he must be still alive, as he is *living* in Yorkshire. 11. The two coins are a 1p piece, and a 10p piece. (I only said that *one* of the coins was not a 10pence piece, I did not say that the other one wasn't!) 12. None, it's a hole! 13. None, monkeys can't talk, so they couldn't *say* anything. 14. It would be impossible, as he would be dead if he had a *widow* This is the puzzle for this week. It's purely a mathematical one for a change, for those people who prefer this type of puzzle. A TRAIN JOURNEY A train left a certain station with a number of passengers on board. At the first stop, a quarter of the passengers got off and 17 got on. At the next stop, a fifth of the passengers then on the train got off and 20 got on. When the train arrived at the next station, one eighth of those on board got off and only 1 passenger boarded the train. The next stop was the terminus, and all the passengers got off, but the number of passengers getting off was not more than there were on the train when it started on it's journey. How many were on the train initially? Answer next week. >>**|**<< >>**|**< CHOKE REPAIR FUND >**|**<< By Marianne G As you can see by the diagram below, the CHOKE's repairs are now fully paid for. As a reminder, any funds raised in excess of those needed for repairs, will be donated to hosts of events so they can help the community forget and heal the wounds of the vandalism. We are no longer looking for any who may have been involved in this. Many have come forward to take responsibility to help me deal with this issue, and I thank you for your concern. However, the lab informs me that they would be unable to make a positive id even if possible suspects were rounded up. I would not wish to be part of any witch hunt of possibly innocent avatars. I would not wish any false accusations. Nor would I wish others to act rashly on my behalf. Below is the total of the funds collected. *** - 6,117 T (*) 5,000T Therefore, it is time to put this behind us and |*| work to repair the machine, and the community. |*| I know your generosity will continue to pour funds |*| into our little effort, and the community will be the |*| 4,000T richer for it. Donations can still be accepted by any |*| of the CLARION staff, including myself and my |*| alternate, Acolyte Serena. Those who are scheduled to |*| benifit from the excess are the Helper group, Bloodline, |*| 3,000T SunRays/Knights, Ghost Racing/CHAOS Inc., and the |*| Duckolytes. If you have other groups in mind who |*| host games, please let us know by contacting me at |*| 72007,221 |*| 2,000T |*| Your continued support to this endeavor will assist |*| many who depend on funds to run their events. We |*| appreciate any contributions to the cause. |*| 1,000T |*| I'd also like to thank the members of the Bunker, in |*| particular the ferrets, who managed to remove a small |*| blockage in the internal workings of the CHOKE and |*| enabled the CHOKE to recover health at a faster rate. ~ We are pleased to announce that the IV's have been removed, and the CHOKE level in the machine has now been stabalized. Your cards, flowers and letters of get well have been appreciated. We will continue to take collections till April 30th.

See you then!!! -_^+^_--_^+^_- -_^+^_- DUCKOLYTE PARTICIPANT GUIDELINES -_^+^_- By Arch Duckolyte Brains Serena has published a number of guidelines regarding hosting events which are very well done. I suggest that if you have not read them, it would be most insightful and helpful to do so. I wanted to add some items from my perspective, so that people understand what is going on when we are running a Duckolyte Event. This will help us with hosting a smoother running event. We would appreciate you taking the time to review these. Door Prizes: All Duckolyte events use a computer program created by Wert P Gumby (an honorary Duckolyte) to make the selection of winners. The program pulls all ESPs sent to the host. You only need to send an ESP once to be automatically added to the list. Any ESP will work. It does not matter what is said in the ESP in order for the program to accept your entry. The only exception to sending only one ESP is when the host states to do so. Please refrain from sending repeated ESPs. It slows down the host's system and has the possibilty of crashing my system which delays the game. Some people seem to think it is funny to repeatedly send these ESPs, over and over again. Please help us by cooperating with this small request. ESPs to Host: The hosts are extremely busy administering the event. Guidelines for each event are stated up front to the participants on who is fielding all questions. These guidelines are also explained throughout the event. In almost all cases, the host is never the one who answers the questions. Please refrain from constantly ESPing (making comments) the host while the event is going on. It does several things. It ties up the hosts screen with less important information not allowing the host to answer serious questions from the helpers. It also over-loads the host's ESPs which causes slowdowns and crashes. There is much going on behind the scenes which the average participant is unaware is happening. This is the single biggest problem with trying to host events and games in Kymer. Ghosting: Please stay ghosted during all events unless told to do otherwise. This slows down the event for everyone. This is especially a problem during Ghost Racing, but also is a big problem during auctions, and while presenting prizes. Disruptors: Apparently some people feel that they are allowed to do whatever they want without regard for others. Hosting events is a time consuming process that takes a lot of time to get organized behind the scenes. Many hours go into the planning and organization of any event. Even the weekly events take much time in putting together prizes and preparation of the event. Lately, people who spend absolutely no time in preparation, feel we owe them time on stage to voice their views and concerns. They do not ask us for permission and have their own agendas which they voice selfishly. These people have no concerns for others and will be treated accordingly in all future events. Recently. I have asked for Oracle help and received it. I thank them for their support. The Oracles understand the frustrations with putting so much work into these events, only to have someone disrupt them. This problem will be addressed by the hosts when Turfs are available. The Duckolyte hosts will not tolerate disruptions, and avatars who can not follow the rules will be expelled from events. We will control our own events. Please help us here by cooperating. -_^+^_--_^+^_- -_^+^_- DUCKOLYTE AUCTION -_^+^_- By Arch Duckolyte Brains The Duckolyte Auction hosted on Friday, April 19th was a huge success. The newly established Event Fund received a huge shot in the arm in getting started. We had so many items, we could not get to many of them. These will be carried over to the next Auction. Prices for items and their respective buyers were as follows: Hot Chocolate - 750Ts - Lindy Snowball - 1100Ts - Beached Martini - 1450Ts - CyberMage Red Woman Ornament - 1800Ts - Beached Butterscotch - 1500Ts - Leadman Snowman_Head - 5100Ts - Darien Red Body Spray (full) - Rare non-vendo - 2000Ts - Mariah Peppermint - 1000Ts - Lord Will Gingerbread House - 3000Ts - Orlando Bag (Halloween, holds 4 items) - 4500Ts - Lil Angel Candy_Head (Sweetie Pie,Love Ya,Lets Not,Buzz Off)- 3100Ts - PMS Rose_Head* (yellow) - 3700Ts - Mariah Valentine (pink) - 1450Ts - PMS Duck_Head* (rare non-vendo green) - 4000Ts - Dennis S Heart Chest (hold 10 items) - 2250Ts - PMS Martian Head (rare Gold) - 3200Ts - Mariah GingerBread_Head - 5400Ts - MistWeave Lacey_Heart Head* - 4000Ts - Chris Storm Christmas Wreath - 17,000Ts - Lil Angel Pink 74/Pink 60 Head spray(full)- Rare non-vendo 3000Ts - Mariah Pink Body Spray (full) -Rare non-vendo - 3000Ts -Pearl Girl Rose_head* (Steel) - 4800Ts - Chris Storm Mystery Chest - 14,500Ts - Wert P Gumby Mystery Sack - 12,500Ts - HHC The Duckolytes are very excited and proud to be bringing to you this new and wild auction every month at the Starway Stage cafe. A European version will be held monthly as well to satisfy our friends overseas. All proceeds will be going into the Duckolyte benefit fund to help sponsor future prizes for events held in the Dreamscape. To put on events that contain prizes it takes many tokens, most of which come from the sponsor's own pockets. This will offset the high cost of holding special events and will bring to you a larger number of prizes. All avatars of Kymer will benefit from this and the Duckolytes are elated about bringing this to you on a regular basis. During the events there are always door prizes. The auction is handled a little bit differently than auctions of the past; we add our own flavor of bidding to make it more enthusiastic for the bidders, and for those who like to watch. One of the ways of bidding (traditional) is that the item up for bid will go to the highest bidder. The other variation called "Duckolyte Rules" goes like this: the item up for bid will be deliberately started high, then gradually goes down in price. The first bidder to bid gets the item. Here is an example, lets say the item is a rare Cute Elf head (rep), the floor is opened by the auctioneer at say 10,000 tokens. The price gradually decreases until a bidder bids on it. The first one to bid gets the item. This type of bidding adds a new excitement and tension to the auction. We only had time for one round of Duckolyte bidding in this auction due to the length of time of the event. We plan to have more in the next event. It was received quite well. The Duckolyte sponsors charge a fee of 10% for items placed on consignment, and once again the profits will go to help fund future events in Kymer. Items up for bid at the auction are guaranteed not to be sold in vendos. We are looking forward to seeing you at each and every auction at the Starway Stage Cafe. The Duckolyte Collectibles Benefit Auction will have many rare items up for bid. Everyone who comes is eligible for door prizes. Door prizes consist of rare items and are given throughout the night. Please contact the following authorized individuals for items to be placed on consignment, Arch Duckolyte Brains Chief GK Raptor-Duckolyte SrK Do not accept offers from imitators claiming to represent the auction. Contact us in world if you have a rare item that you would like to place on consignment. -_^+^_--_^+^_--_^+^_--_^+^_--_^+^_--_^+^_--_^+^_--_^+^_--_^+^_--_^+^_- Who is this Brains guy?

Congratulations to all our winners, and see you next Friday! -_^+^_--_^+^_- -_^+^_- CHAOS INC -_^+^_- By Marianne G On the 18th of April, Sadie Hawkins Day once again came to Kymer. We held another Sadie Hawkins Day Race, where the ladies chase and seek out male life forms, was another success. They chased them around the fountain, the chased them up Oak, and down Temple. As for the men, they changed heads, they hid behind others, but the most successful method was to KEEP MOVING! In round one, it was too short, and was a clear slate for all. Round two found Ice Princess tagging Klaquan, Razzle Dazzel tagged Cut-Me- Own-Throat Dibbler and JayVee, and tops for the round, Damia was able to tag Unga-Bunga, JayVee and Klaquan. Round three was SOOO fast that it was just one tag after the other. In all, there were 18 tags made with JayVee looking like a tag-team player being tagged four times in a row by three different ladies... a feat repeated shortly after by Andy M. Ladies that raced were Anais, Barbi, Lipstick, Ice Princess, Razzle Dazzel, in second place, Damia, and top tagger was Melancholy. On the mens side, those trying to run and hide were Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler, JayVee, Klaquan, Andy M., second place to Unga-Bunga and top male was The Hobit. Congrats to all the ladies who tagged their men, and all the men who were able to escape the tag. Remember, CHAOS, Inc is in the Bar-L Storeroom every Thursday at 5 PM WAT and it's a different game every time... come early to hear the instructions. -_^+^_--_^+^_- -_^+^_- CLOVER COLLECTABLE AUCTION -_^+^_- April 15, 1996 Auction Results Item Buyer Price Snowman Head Oceanfront2 3,450 Gingerbread Head TexWilly 5,900 X-mas Elf Head Wert P Gumby 8,500 Torgersen Teddy LeadMan 4,000 Ornament Lindy 1,250 Christmas Stocking Sunray Hera 6,800 Trophy Princess Toadstool 6,100 Rose_Head* Cr!tter 1,400 Black 44/Black 7 (2 left) LeadMan 1,100 Peppermint Oceanfront2 1,350 Snowball Fancy That ;) 1,100 Tangerine thrill cake MEAF 4,500 Flowers Dakota 2,000 Rose_Head* LeadMan 2,100 Door Prize winners: What a Woman!

It continued on like that for a month or two before I realized I just could not keep up with all the online charges racking up. Not wanting to end something so enjoyable to the players and myself alike, I decided to slide it into a comfy little (okay not so little ) time slot every Thursday. Since then Storm Games has begun to grow again, with bigger payouts, more players, higher jackpots, climbing bets and better macros! Well now Storm Games has just gotten too big to stay where it is. And thats why, with great enthusiasm, I would like to announce Storm Games returning to a DAILY time slot. Thats right, you heard me correctly, as of Monday, April 22nd, Storm Games will be running Monday through Friday once more. However, as anyone can see by glancing at the schedule, there are events (mostly bingo) running almost all day every day. How on earth can I squeeze in ANOTHER Kymer game? Well luckily this is Kymer, not earth, and while it isn't humanly possible, it IS unicornly possible! Just three easy steps and you'll see how. 1) Storm Games isn't just ANOTHER Kymer game. Thats right, we're talking about *THE* Kymer game here. No where else in the city of Phantasus will you find the excitement that is to be found at Storm Games. With betting ranging up to 250T, jackpots going as high as 10,000T, and over 200,000 Tokens in winnings so far... well that pretty much says it all. But if it doesn't how about this: Exclusive use of the two room STORM GAMING HALL as soon as turfs become available, NO MAXIMUM payout limit, not 20:1, not 30:1, not 50:1... the more players, the higher it goes, RARE prizes to be won, and 10T added to *EVERY* bet you make. With a payout of 20:1 thats an extra 200T ontop of your normal winnings. 2) Storm Games is at a *NEW LOCATION - REGENCY HALL* Why move it away from the ever popular Harlequin Games? Well you'll see why when we get down to #3, but for now just appreciate a new change in background scenery! And as soon as the STORM GAMING HALL opens up, you'll be able to play every day in the offical home of Storm Games. 3) Storm Games is at a *NEW TIME - 12:00NOON (WAT)* No, you're not hallucinating. I know there are events running in every time slot from 9:00 in the morning to 5:00 at night. Which is exactly why I put it where I did. You players don't need ANOTHER Kymer game.. you need the BEST! What would be the point in scheduling a time neither I nor Storm Game's regular players could make? None at all, exactly! Still, you're probably wondering if this will create some tension between the various hosts also running at that time? You can bet on it (I'm sure LeadMan will start a pool!) First let me assure you I have no ill will against ANY of the other hosts. Many, if not all, are close friends and I wish them the best in the games. Heck, if I have the time I try to play in them! But you gamblers out there deserve the BEST Kymer game you can get. And a little (okay a LOT of) healthy competition will see to that. Storm Games is coming out all guns blazing, and I guarantee when the competition feels the heat they will do everything they can to get your patronage. In the end no matter WHERE you go, you will be playing only the best of the best. Now its *MY* job to convince you that it is Storm Games. If you didn't quite realize that from STEP #1, how about this: Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday Storm Games will be running the brand new, easy to play, LIGHTNING LOTTERY. Every Tuesday and Thursday you'll be able to play normal and not so normal kymer with winnings the likes of which you have never seen! The Storm is Coming, gamblers, and its about to start raining. Only this rain is Gold Tokens, and its falling YOUR way! Storm Games ~- Where YOU can be the next Kymerian Millionaire! -_^+^_--_^+^_- -_^+^_- VISIT THE DUCKOLYTE HOMEPAGE -_^+^_- By Chief Duckolyte Jimi After weeks and weeks of development and experimenting with several sets of graphics, layouts and methods of creating them, the Duckolyte Pages are now 'open to the public'. The Duckolyte homepages feature all the information about the Duckolytes, including the up- to-date member lists, as well as the history of the clan. There are also many other features such as an image gallery, info about WorldsAway, other clans, and a list of Duckolyte Games, just to name a few.

If you have the time, why not check it out! Netscape 2.0 or later is highly recommended if you plan on attending the site, although the pages were completely and successfully tested out using 4 different browsers, including the CompuServe standard, Mosaic.

With no further ado, here is our feature presentation: This is a spring poem I thought you might enjoy! Lots of you have already heard this one:)!!! METAMORPHISIS By Moonlight Knight Always it happens when we are not there- The tree leaps up alive into the air, Small open parasols of Chinese green Wave on each twig. But who has ever seen The latch sprung, the bud as it burst? Spring always manages to get there first. Lovers of wind, who will have been aware Of a faint stirring in the empty air, Look up one day through a dissolving screen To find no star, but this multiplied green, Shadow on Shadow, singing sweet and clear. Listen, lovers of wind , the leaves are here! P.S. I hope my identity has not been revealed!! I hope to be back next week! Please send me some of your work:) +-- :)(: --+ +-- :) JOURNAL OF COLONEL FORTISQUEW (: --+ Journal of the Exploration of the East of Phantasus ===================================================================== Prelude: I am, of course, stupidly qualified for mountaineering. The first time I escaped from my crib with a block and tackle aged two my dear old Mother (Morpheus rest her soul) said I was going to be a climber. So of course I was a natural choice to explore the Eastward Mountains of Kymer. I chose my party members with care. They needed to be tough, clever, quick - in short I elected to take the surviving members of my Inverse-Bungee club with me, (Inverse-Bungee is where you attach yourself to the ground by elastic, climb UP a cliff face until the elastic is taut, and then let go. Hours of lethal fun!). It would get them out of hospital for a bit of a change, I thought. We could take our bungee cords too, for if we saw a nice bit of cliff face, (though we must always bear in mind that this was a serious exploration, so we mustn't mess about!). DAY 1 Tuesday 0900 WAT: I meet the others on Cypress Street to find a carrot head on the ground, with all the Bungee Club members gathered round it. They all jump and desperately try to look innocent, and I grow ever more puzzled because I can see nothing they need to be innocent off. It is then that my mule - tied to the top of the main city gate by bungee cord - whistles past my left ear making a failed grab for the carrot, and rockets back in the air again with a disdainful EE-OR... 0910 WAT: The mule finally comes to rest with a dazed but exhilarated expression on its poor face. Once resuscitated however, I am still able to ride it and we proceeded to Gnarled Oak Street where an Oracle was awaiting us. I have gotten a special dispensation to have the gate opened for us, you see. This will allow us to proceed Eastwards by the shortest route across [jarring chord] BLASTED HEATH! 0920 WAT: The gate is now locked behind us; I bow and extol my humble thanks to Mr Oracle, giving him an offering for Morpheus. The Oracle brushes a tear from his eye, embraces me roughly through the gate, and runs away sobbing. Somewhat perturbed, I regard the devastated vista in front of me.... 1900 WAT: With my feline-reflexes tuned to flee, ghost or surrender unconditionally at the least sign of anything the least untoward, we proceeded for many, many bare locales of desolate landscape. The wind is now howling wildly and blowing sand into all our crevices. Dusk is falling. We are in a locale called the Middle of Nowhere. Some of us are losing hope. 2300 WAT: Soon after last entry, I got an ESP from someone called Forthero. "Prepare to meet thy doom in the Heath, denizen of the Sweet Dead Valley of Kymer" he said. I braked my mule, and looked behind me. "Anyone here called Forthero trying to scare the pants off me?" I called out, and everyone shrugged and denied it. I paused uneasily. "Because it won't work on me you know, I am as hard a nails I am. I'm a big tough explorer and I'm not going to let a little tom-foolery worry ME!" I added as bravely as I could. I clicked on everyone on the screen just to check their names anyway - and there weren't any ghosts. The hair rose on the back of my neck, I grinned nonchalantly at my party and rode on as casually as I could. "What do you mean 'dead' valley, Mr Forthero" I ESPed back quickly, trying to keep my typing steady. "Simply that you shall all succumb to the curiosity of the heath sooner or later, and we shall kill you as you come!" it whispered in its sinister way in my head. I swallowed hard. "Are you near us now?" I asked. "I am very, very close to you, my fine Colonel Fortisquew". I looked round desperately. There were still no ghosts and the Bungee-club members were plodding along as usual, eating pizza, talking monosyllabically and playing Nintendo GameBoys whose shrill tones sounded not irritating, but strangely cold and menacing in the deepening dusk. "Prove it" I demanded unsteadily. "You are wearing a monocle, a silly hat that I presume you think makes you look like Indiana Jones, and you are grinning VERY nervously". I leapt off my mule brandishing my elephant gun and started running around the screen screaming "Where are you, you cad, you bounder!" into the thin air, much to the hilarity of the rest of my party. "Do you value your miserable existence _that_ much?" Forthero laughed in my head. "Your gun cannot hurt ME, MuHahahah! >:-)". Well that was it. There are certain things that just CANNOT happen in Kymer and this was one of them. If no-avatar on screen was called Forthero, and there are no ghosts, then there is no-way a guy called Forthero should be able to see what I was doing. I assumed the fetal position and awaited my imminent death..... I remained that way for some time. In fact the rest of the party made a camp fire around me and settled down for the night. For sure they had toasted all the marshmallows and fallen asleep, when I was finally awoken from my own abject stupor by the mule licking my ear. "Mmm...go'way" I muttered and beat him off. "Sorry" said the mule. "S'alright" I muttered as I got up stiffly and wandered about. Then I turned sharply to look at the mule again. "Pardon?" I whispered horrified. It looked back at me and batted its eyes innocently. With a horrible sinking feeling, I clicked on the mule. ------------------- |Forthero_The_Mule| |Follow | |Give Sugarlump to| |Pat | |Feed | |Ride> | |Tell me about | ------------------- We stared at one another, the mule barely able to control itself. "I suppose you think that was funny do you?" I growled at him, my cheeks reddening. The mule winked and wandered off for some grass, laughing uproariously to itself..... We will be at the base of the Mountains in three days, though Forthero disagrees and says five. This doesn't matter however because I know I will already have throttled the Smart Alec Ass before we get there. =======================END OF ENTRY FOR DAY ONE====================== +-- :)(: --+ +-- :) THE NEW AVATAR - PART THREE (: --+ AWAKENINGS By Cristopher Storm (You can Find Part one and Two in CLARION Issues 35 and 36 in the Forum Newstand Library) "Headhunter Chieftain" Kintarra hissed. The huge skull-faced thief was sprinting right towards Twen and Kintarra, his latest stolen prize under his arm. And judging by the malicious glare in his steely eyes, he was not intending to stop for anyone. Then again, the two in his path were not just anyone. Kintarra lunged away from the ATM machine, rocketting through the air and slamming into Headhunter Chieftain. Twen watched in surprised shock as the two crashed to the ground, Kintarra coming up on top. The unicorn clamped his muscled arms around the Chieftain's bony throat and growled, "Not gonna get away with it this time you dirtbag!" To this Headhunter let out a chilling laugh, an eerie thing not quite human, and slammed two bony hands against Kintarra's chest. The force of the blow sent the unicorn sailing back through the air to come crashing down in the fountain! Headhunter Chieftain was up in the blink of an eye, and now only Twen stood in his way. Glaring at the smaller avatar, Headhunter roared, "Outta my way! No one messes with Headhunter! No one who wants to go on living, anyways! Chaos commands you to MOVE!" Twen stood there blocking the thief's escape route as a crowd slowly began to gather at a distance to watch. Kintarra was still lost in the fountain, and that left Twen on his own. Steeling his own voice, Twen replied, "Not going to happen, thief. Now return the chest before things go badly for you. Only one chance... don't mess it up." "Or what?" Headhunter Chieftain laughed. "But if you want the chest so badly... you can HAVE IT!" Headhunter thrust the heavy chest through the air with enough force to slam Twen of his feet. Wasting no time, the vicious thief stepped forward and attempted to kick the downed avatar. Twen's hand shot up and caught Headhunter's boot in mid-kick. With a single hand Twen held onto the boot as Headhunter looked down in utter shock. "... mistake." Twen hissed through gritted teeth. His head lifted up to look upon the skeletal thief towering over him, and with an audible crackle his eyes began to glow with an azure light. Headhunter Chieftain could only watch in stunned silence as Twen's entire body began to sparkle with a hidden power. The crowd that had gathered let out a collective gasp at the sight of the brilliant light display. The light in Twen's eyes pulsed out, and with a blinding flash, encompassed Headhunter Chieftain. The very air around the infamous thug seemed to bend and warp, building to a twisting crescendo until the light became unbearable and a roar of thunder split the air! As quickly as the brilliance had appeared, it was gone. Those who had gathered around the incredible spectacle blinked the spots from their eyes to see not two avatars, but one. Only Twen remained. ***** The luminous green eyes stared through the bars at the crowd of people around the fountain. Nothing else was visible of the creature that watched the confrontation unfold, nothing save those dangerous eyes looking out of the dense foilage. It observed with intrigue as the glow faded from Twen, Headhunter Chieftain nowhere in sight. It watched with deadly curiosity as the mysterious avatar fell to his knees, seemingly too weak to stand. Watched as Kintarra leapt out of the fountain and ran over to Twen, watched as Twen collapsed into unconsciousness completely, watched as the crowed closed around the fallen avatar obscuring his view. With an inhuman snarl, the creature ripped his gaze away from the fountain and walked further back into the jungle. Very little light filtered through the treetops, just enough to reveal the enormous black body of the creature. It resembled very much a panther, except for a few key features. It was much bigger than a normal panther, and it's jaw was enormous, filled with large, jagged teeth. Its furry hide was midnight black, the color of a starless, moonless night. The most noticeable difference, however, was in its eyes. Not the eyes of a mindless beast, but cunning, intelligent, eyes. Eyes that glowed with malevolence and danger. The creature stepped from the densely packed trees into a small forest clearing. While open on the ground, it was still covered with a canopy of leaves above. The clearing was dark and shadowed, almost no light managing to breach the treetops above. A huge tree rose up in the center of the small clearing, twisted and warped. One side of the trunk protruded out into the shape of a large throne, on each side of which two black panthers were licking their paws. Both animals leapt to their paws as the beast stepped into the clearing. With a rumbling snarl, the shadowy creature approached the throne. As it did so it's body began to twist and contort, changing shape until it was in the form of a huge, humanoid creature. It was still covered with dark black fur, its snout enlarged with razor sharp fangs protruding from the jaw, and those fierce green eyes. But it now stood upright, its forelegs transformed into muscled arms, its posture very humanoid. The creature stepped up and sat down in the twisted treethrone, lowering a clawed hand to pat the panther on the left. His thoughts transformed into words, and in a throaty, growling voice, he spoke, "Who arrrrre you strrrrangerrrr?"
