<Jacie> How's it working?
<TheBrig> Look for a large white envelope in a few days
<TheBrig> got it to work but still not sure how I did it :-D
<Jacie> Oh? What's that? An easter bunny?
<TheBrig> Just some payback
<Jacie> That's the way it usually goes. I'm glad you got it working. Now you can burn copies of your DW Audios for the road.

<TheBrig> Hi Tuna
<Jacie> In France they call the Easter Bunny Le Bunnee. Know what they call him the rest of the year?
<DocEight> Hey Tuna!
<Dr10> Dinner
<IrishTCat> hi ho Alfred
<DocEight> LOL
<TheBrig> lol
<Jacie> Answer: A tasty little sidedish made with diced onions sauteed in a delicies cherry sauce.
<Dr10> Exactly.
<Jacie> I hope David likes the wicked sense of humor. That's his easter card.
<Jacie> Man, those French will eat anything.
<TheBrig> Still can figure how cadbury sells little brown "eggs" from a bunny ::shiver::
<Jacie> LOL
<Dr10> That does sound scary. Reminds me of a joke about "smart pills"
<DocEight> lol
<TheBrig> :-)
<Jacie> Well, I know quite a few people who do "sit" on their brains.
<Jacie> Tuna, where are you connecting from?
<Dr10> Or behave as if their behinds were inflammed all the time.
<TheBrig> Have a feeling you don't mean Mork ;-)
<Dr10> I am here in Vermont. 
<Jacie> Ah, how was the trip to Missouri wasn't it?
<Dr10> Next Thursday I will be here but not the Thursday after that, as I will be off the grid in Mexico.
<TheBrig> At your lovely place?
<Jacie> That's in Baha right?
<Dr10> Yeppers.
<Jacie> Cool. Everyone needs some r&r.
<TheBrig> Have a fun and safe trip
<Dr10> Go to http://debate.uvm.edu/tuna.html and then select video and then select Baja and you will seee my beach house I don't get to often enough.
<Jacie> I think David plans to wrap up this storyline next week and then we can have a hiatus while I prepare the next storyline.
<Dr10> Bueno. I hope to come back with a new plot.
<Jacie> Not to nudge, but did you get my e-mail about your websites?
<TheBrig> Have a nice soak in one of those pools and dream up something fun :-)
<Jacie> I'm waiting to hear if there are any problems.
<DocEight> That reminds me...
<IrishTCat> Hrmmm ::being quiet::

<Dr10> Yes, and I will have a response for you tomorrow. Thanks, Jen.
<TheBrig> whew lots of scenes tonight
<Dr10> Aha, so you have seen the video? Yes, nice hot pools.
<Jacie> Ok, cool. Just let me know what you need. You know I aim to please.
<TheBrig> When you first sent them to the group had them saved till I had to reset everything
<Dr10> If this around the world thing comes through I could need lots of web-building help.
<Jacie> Oh, Rob my travel plans are taking me thru North Carolina last week of April. My folks and I are planning to stay a night in Raleigh/Durham on the way back so you and I could meet up.
<IrishTCat> Cool 
<Dr10> Yes, a meeting with Jennifer can brighten up your life. ;)
<IrishTCat> I'll wear my green cat ears 
<Dr10> That will make you easy to rrecognize.
<Jacie> And her mom. Can't forget her. Plus Rob gets to meet my dad. I'll prod him to wear his Born To Be Wild attire. You never saw a 70 yr old scientist in leather, have you?
* TheBrig still believes that Rob is just a cover and Irish is real ;-)
<IrishTCat> I'll bring Nero and Orion too 
<Dr10> Fine for you, but remember, I am allergic to cats. 
<Jacie> Cool. I believe the date will be April 30 (Tuesday) that we're in your neck of the woods.
* DocEight cant wait to finally get over there
<Jacie> Hey Tuna, my mom and I are watching your vacation video of Baha. Very cool place.
<Dr10> Thanks.
<Dr10> It must not look too hot at your bandwidth.
<Jacie> How hot does it get down there?
<Dr10> Very. Forget June-August.
<IrishTCat> Maybe i will have a car and job by then 
<Jacie> Not bad, but us bandwidth-impaired folks do long formore SPEED!
<Jacie> I'm calling David to see where here's got to. brb
<Dr10> brb as well.
<IrishTCat> I'm waiting for Mindspring to get DSL in my area 
<IrishTCat> Time-Warner is too expensive for a man with no job 
<TheBrig> I'm on charter now and the download time is a lot better
<DocEight> Man, that's so expensive over here...I wanted to get DSL but its something like $60 a month.
<IrishTCat> Thats about right 40 to 60 dollars 
<Jacie> Yeah, cablemodem is about $45 a month here. US dollars that is.
<TheBrig> Local cable offers it for $25 a month 
<Jacie> Ok, David's line is busy. Anyone see him on AOL?
<DocEight> I can't see him
<TheBrig> Not on aol im
<IrishTCat> 30+ bucks for Cable  30+bucks for modem 
<IrishTCat> Tuna watches less TV than I do but hes about the only one 
<TheBrig> Watch way too much
<Dr10> My high speed cable modem is $49 a month, but I made up for it by cancelling my home phone and my cable TV.
<Jacie> too much for the modem. It should be $10.
<IrishTCat> Mischelle called me .. I need to call her back  Its been about a month or so since I saw her last 8(  
<Jacie> Ok guys. David is officially MIA. The script is not too heavy. Shall we brave on? (And ensure we finish this by the time Tuna goes on vacation)
<Dr10> I nsay yes.
<TheBrig> Sure it's been asked, but what year is this story set?
<Dr10> 1925?
<Jacie> Yeah, it's like 1920's.
<TheBrig> ty, then Holmes is 71
<TheBrig> cast call?
<Jacie> And Russell is a young stripling of 36, I think.
<Dr10> And a spry 71 he is with a handsome wife like that!

<DWFred> # :::Fred looks around at everyone in the group and smiles, happy to see them all safe and well::
<SHolmes> # ::::Takes off overcoat and puts it on his wife's shoulders::: Here you go Russell even wet wool retains most of it's warming qualities
<Afallach> # ::deep and Booming:: The tests you have faced are real and true. They will have no lasting effects other than the memories from them.
<Dr10> #We have passed your teests, Afallach. Are we now worthy?
<IrishTCat> #  ::Irish goes over to the cup and sees no cream or milk inside and then goes over to jump on Maker's shoulder :: 
<DWFred> # :::Fred and Victoria look around to see the light striking the cup, resting on the sarcoughagus:::
<RussellJen> # ::takes the coat with a grateful smile:: What would I ever do without, Holmes?
<DWFred> <I'm sure I'm misspelling that>
<Afallach> # You are all worthy, and as such, before you is the grail.
<RussellJen> <I think it's sarcophogus>
<RussellJen> <Maybe sarcophagus>
<Afallach> # But only one may take the Grail from here.
<Dr10> <brb>
<SHolmes> <As much as I have heard it on Stargate I've no idea on the spelling>
<Afallach> <<Sarcophagus looks right>>
<DWFred> # :::A shiver runs thru Fred's spine at Afallach's words:::
<RussellJen> # Which one of us?
<Afallach> # One who is pure of heart, brave and true. If one does not possess all of these qualities, they will surely perish and the Grail will be lost forever.
<IrishTCat> # I am not doing it and Maker has promished to stop picking up nickknacks from our travels 
<DWFred> # :::a brief, weak smile crosses Fred's face at Irish's words:::
<RussellJen> # A boobytrapped grail. Clever.
<IrishTCat> # ::Irish mutters :: Besides there is no telling what a magic cup would do to the taste of my milk 
<DWFred> # :::everyone looks around, trying to see which one among them is the one who can take up the cup:::
<RussellJen> # ::looks to husband:: I may be true, but nearly losing you Holmes shows me how truly cowardly I am.
<DWFred> # :::except for Fred, she doesn't look around, for she knows who::
<SHolmes> # And too often I have let my own sense of justice overule the law of the land
<DWFred> # Fred>:::murmers to herself::: Brave heart, Fred.
<Afallach> # Step forward now, Cup bearer.
<IrishTCat> # ::Irish leaps through the air to land on Fred's shoulder:: 
<RussellJen> # Who then? Lady Victoria...?
<DWFred> # :::Fred steps forward, walking steadily towards the cup:::
<RussellJen> & ::sees Fred approach the altar before anyone can stop her::
<SHolmes> # I think the cup has already chosen
<DWFred> # ::::The Doctor makes as if to stop Fred, then halts his attempt:::
<RussellJen> <Ah, make that #>
<RussellJen> # If she's wrong, she'll be killed.
<DWFred> # Fred> ::to Irish:: I think there is only supposed to be one bearer, not two, Irish.
<IrishTCat> # As long as you don't serve my milk in that thing I guess its alright for you to get it fred 
<DWFred> # Fred> Don't worry, I won't do that, promise.
<IrishTCat> # ::Irish leaps down to the ground :: 
<SHolmes> # Don't worry Russell
<DWFred> # ::She walks forward, closer and closer, the cup filling her vision:::
<RussellJen> # ::all watch as Fred takes the cup in hand::
<IrishTCat> # ::Irish swishes his tail back and forth :: 
<DWFred> # :::Finally, it is at hand.  She reaches forth a hand, surprised that it is not shaking, and reaches for the cup::::
<RussellJen> # ::prepares for some murdurous backlash, but it doesn't come::
<DWFred> # :::the cup, warm and smooth, wooden, ancient beyond years, almost seems to leap up into her grasp:::
<Dr10> #:::The Doctor smiles as Fred takes the cup:::
<Dr10> #In hands I can trust :::he whispers::
<IrishTCat> # I wish we could have gotten something more useful such as a cat bowl that fills constantly with food and milk .. 
<Afallach> # ::watches silently::
<DWFred> # :::She holds it close, eyes closed:::
<RussellJen> # ::gasps as she witnesses the true Bearer of the holiest cup find each other::
<DWFred> # ::she then turns around and smiles shakily at the others::::
<IrishTCat> # ::Irish goes hrmph :: All you had to do was look at the energy patterns .. Fred and the cup are in synch .. 
<RussellJen> # ::a saintly glow seems to surround Fred and the Cup as if two ancient energies were melded in one::
<IrishTCat> # But nobody thought to ask me .. 
<RussellJen> # ::blinks to remove the image from her weary eyes::
<DWFred> # Fred>:::to Irish:: Not everyone can sense energy patterns like you can.
<IrishTCat> # I can not be held responsible for their handicaps .. 
<DWFred> # :::Fred cradles the cup close as she walks over to the others::
<Afallach> # Your Quest is completer, but your ordeals are not yet over.
<Dr10> # Fred, this may not be an easy burden.
<IrishTCat> # I am ready to go now .. Its time for my dinner .. ::Irish curls up by Maker's feet :: 
<RussellJen> # Lady Victoria>::smiles, for herself and her late husband:: Then it is done. The CUp has found its Bearer. It is safe.
<SHolmes> # Must we face more of your tests?
<Dr10> #:::The Doctor pats Fred on the shoulder::: Yes, I think we are ready for those ordeals, Afallach.
<DWFred> # I know, Doctor.  I also know that you and Irish will help me to bear the burden.
<IrishTCat> <<Irish is mad because the maze didnt have any mice to eat 8^) >> 
<Dr10> #And that, my dear Fred, iks exactly why I try not to travel alone.
<Afallach> # The test's of which I speak are not of my making, they are the tests of the living. You are free to return, but be warned, Evil will be waiting for your return.
<IrishTCat> # See I knew you would try to make me carry that silly cup around .. 
<SHolmes> # Evil is always waiting
<DWFred> # Fred> not help that way, silly.
<IrishTCat> <<<-----Thats a definate egocentric Irish comment >> 
<DWFred> # LadyV> I take it you mean a more immediate evil, Afallach?
<RussellJen> # Lady Victoria> ::shudders at the mention of the evil that so cruelly stole her husband mere hours before::
<DWFred> <swap lines with Jen>
<RussellJen> <Oh, sorry David. I thought you had forgotten her.>
<IrishTCat> # Evil is like dog drool . You don't either one around you .. 
<RussellJen> <We'll make Russell say LadyV's line.>
<DWFred> <not really, just hadn't had much to say with her at the moment, that works fine in addition to what I said>
<Afallach> # Are you prepared?
<RussellJen> <Or we can switch. Whatever happens in the recon.>
<SHolmes> # :::Checks shotgun:: As much as possible
<Dr10> #This is a ccompany of heroes the like of which has never been, Afallach.
<RussellJen> # ::grasps Holmes' hand:: I'm ready.
<DWFred> <afallach should tell them that five minions will be waiting for them when they return to the land of the living::
<Dr10> <pause dr>
<IrishTCat> # ::Irish snores loudly at Doctor's feet :: 
<IrishTCat> <<Pause Irish >> 
<DWFred> # Fred> I think we're ready, Mr. Afallach.
<SHolmes> # :::To Russell::: Will you please try to stand behind me when the fight starts?
<Afallach> # Five Minions of Evil shall be waiting as my staff strikes three... I wish you luck.
<RussellJen> # Lady Victoria>::stills herself for her husband's sake:: I am prepared, Lord Affallach. In the name of all that's good.
<DWFred> # :::Victoria reaches into her purse and takes hold of the mystical weapons she has prepared:::
<DWFred> <place mine before Jen's again:-)>
<RussellJen> # No promises, Holmes. I promised your brother I'd look out for you.
<Afallach> # ::hits the stone floor with his staff three times, causing the group to dissapear::
<DWFred> <pause Fred and LadyV>
<RussellJen> <pause Russell>
<SHolmes> # ::Smiles:: You just contradicted yourself, Russell
<Afallach> <<pause Afallach>
<SHolmes> <pause Holmes>
<RussellJen> <<PAUSE ALL>>
