<AlxKeegan> Hi Tuna!
<JenK> Hi Tuna!

<DrT> *poof*
*** AlxKeegan sets mode: +o DrT
<DrT> Live from Columbia, South Carolina, it's ..... 
<DrT> me!
<AlxKeegan> Hurray!!!
<JenK> How fare's Vermont? Or are you on the road again? Ah the road it is.
<DrT> Yes, the road it is.
<JenK> How are things down there in the Carolinas?
<JenK> Did you drive or fly?
<IrishTCat> Columbia.. Hmm I can never remember anything .. 
<NicoLazar> Found a dry spot, Doc?  SC still getting rain, last I heard.
<DrT> I'm going to get a tall cool glass of water and I'll brb
<IrishTCat> 95 is still blocked off 
<DrT> It'll be wetter in a moment.
<JenK> How is it in your neck of the woods Rob?
<IrishTCat> 16 inches of rain in Rocky Mount 
<IrishTCat> in 24 hours 
<JenK> I heard. Did you get flooded out?
<AlxKeegan> heard about that, rob
<IrishTCat> Not I .. 
<NicoLazar> We've still got a drought up here.
<JenK> Thank goodness for that then, Rob. I was thinking about you all last week with the news.
<AlxKeegan> sorry to hear that, Ruth
<DrT> I flew. Glad all is well with you Rob.
<JenK> Ruth, don't be wishing for rain too hard. Weathermen down here in MD prayed for a hurricane and we got 2 in a month.
<IrishTCat> I did hear about a building my company is working on getting flooded..  They had cottonmouths swimming around in the building 
<JenK> Cottonmouths?
<DrT> :::winks at Timelady in the crowd:::
<AlxKeegan> yucko!!
<IrishTCat> Its a poisonous snake Jen 
<JenK> Eeek! 
<NicoLazar> Cottonmouths? Nasty.

<JenK> That leaves the Tuner Superior, MallWorld Security and MallWorld Managers.
<JenK> TLady, wanna play the Superior?
<JenK> Oh yeah, and the Octoid child. Who's playing her?
<TimeLadyX> I don't have a script
<AlxKeegan> you don't? oh no:-(
<JenK> It's on the web at http://nadw.cjb.net/script.html
<IrishTCat> Why do I think of a three set book collection  when I hear Crystal Tuner  
<JenK> David can send you one too if he'd be so kind.
<AlxKeegan> Theresa played the child last week
<AlxKeegan> what's your email address, Time Lady?
<NicoLazar> Yeah, Anne McCaffrey's Harlequin Romance disguised as Science Fiction.  Not her best.
<AlxKeegan> I loved the first and second one, but couldn't read the third one
<DrT> You are welcome, Timelady, but feel free to just watch if you want. No pressure.
<AlxKeegan> I sent you a copy of the script, TL
<JenK> Ok then, shall we improv parts as needed in our scenes?
<AlxKeegan> sounds good to me
<TimeLadyX> okay, I found the site
<NicoLazar> Sounds like a plan.
<IrishTCat> I'll just be quiet until the middle  :) 
<DrT> <I must confess that I decided on a pan-galactic you-know-what as a beverage>
<JenK> Cool. Just name the role you pick and jump in TLady. We'll begin so we get this ball rolling.
<DrT> <Jacie and the Dr can chat on their way to the police station, arrive as Nico leaves>

<CTJeffrey> @ :::Jeffrey, the Crystal Tuner, sits in the darkness, eating his lunch:::
<NicoLazar> #::It's really simple, I was wearing my other pants when I picked up the liscence yesterday.  There was this little accident - engine coolant - nothing serious but once the fire was put out, well -- one simply can't walk around like that can you?
<CTJeffrey> @:::only the dim glow of the emergency lights pierces the gloom:::
<Jacie> $ ::half laughs and chokes:: We've um had some practice. ::turns curious eye to timelord:: No more than you I expect.
<Security> # Likely story. (sarcastic)
<NicoLazar> #::And since I only have one other good pair, I know right where it is, in the hazardous waste bin, third cargo carrier on your left, if you'll just give me five minutes.
<DrT> $ :: The Doctor chortles:: Well, somehow creatures in uniforms don't seem to understand me very well.
<Security> # But, if you were lying, your story would be more believeable.
<Security> # I'll tell you what, I might consider letting you go for the price of bail.
<DrT> $ I get your meaning. Are the crystals still your real focus? Or are you stranded here in search of them?
<NicoLazar> #::starts to peel through a wad of credit slips:: Of course, I realize there would be bail and since you went to so much trouble... ::mutter:: three percent I think.
*** CTJeffrey is now known as Superviso

<Jacie> $ If you mean are we hunting for travel crystals, the answer's no.

<Superviso> @:::in her office, the Supervisor, known to her few friends as Melanie, becomes increasingly frustrated:::
<Jacie> $ ::frowns, whispers to self:: if only it were that simple.
<DrT> $ Of course not. Just a little honest business here on Mallworld, no doubt.
<Security> # Hold that thought.  :::turns away and whispers into the walkie-talkie:::
<DrT> $ And has younr uncle been well?
<Superviso> @:::Report after report comes in of freak outages all over the city::
<NicoLazar> #::Oh, don't worry, I hold a good many thoughts in my head officer.
<Jacie> $ ::fakes smile:: Well? Why do you ask that? Uncle Nico is the same as he always is.
<Superviso> @ :::to herself::: What is causing this? What can we do?
<Jacie> $ ::under breath:: Impossible.
<Security> # ::whispers into the mic:::  I understand.
<DrT> $ I guess I'm just trying to make friendly conversation, trying to show an interest. Perhaps I;m not very good at it. I'm always willing to learn more about how to handle the police from an expert, however.
<Jacie> $ ::stops abruptly as a crowd of shopping middle-aged ladies passes by::
<Superviso> @ Maybe I should try to get ahold of the Tuner again? Maybe the system's working now.
<Security> # ::;turns back to Nico:::  Looks like someone more important than I thought
<NicoLazar> #::nervous laugh:: Oh, surely not, officer.
<Security> # Maybe you've been spending your money in the right places
<Jacie> $ An expert? You know if I didn't know any better I'd say that was a compliment.
<Superviso> @:::She attempts to get ahold of the her subordinate::::

<NicoLazar> #Hmm - that depends on the places, hey?

<NicoLazar> #::sputter:: Managers?  Managers!  There's been a mistake surely!\
<Security> # I could check again, if you'd like
<NicoLazar> #Ah-hem, well, why don't you do that.
<CTJeffrey> @:::Jeffrey puts his trash into his lunch sack, then dusts crumbs off himself:::
<DrT> $ :: The Doctor nods::: The Timelords certainly do, at least as an organized body. This Timelord, however, has a little different history, and I would be hypocritical to condemn you but unwise if I did not always urge caution in matters temporal.
<IrishTCat> %::Irish tries to escape from the persistent Octoid child but can not. She drags him to the register and pays the lecrk and then wanders outside::

<CTJeffrey> @:::He stands up and pulls out an emergency flash light:::
<Jacie> $ They say your lot is as creatively-impaired as the sods who prefer uniforms. ::with a quizzical tilt to her face:: Are you really that different, Doctor?
<NicoLazar> #::other officers close in::  Ah-ha, now I'm sure there's been a misunderstand.
<Jacie> $ ::studies his gleaming eyes for the answer::
<Security> # :::Nods occasionall::: Yes, sir, of course, sir
<CTJeffrey> @ All right now, let's go take another look the crystals.  Hopefully things will be calmer now.
<Security> # They clearly want to see you
<Security> # Officers, you know where to take him.
<DrT> $ :: The Doctor nods introspectively:: Yes, I think I am very different. Whether that is the best choice or not is another matter. But for me, the path of exploration and curiousity is chosen, and there's very little use going back now.
<NicoLazar> #::Backing up:: And very flattered I am that they do - but I think maybe some other time.
<Jacie> $ ::out of the corner of her eye she spots the MallWorld Security sign over the head of the dissapating crowd of shoppers::
