The Doctor, Doctor Tuna, Tuna, Professor Snider, XTunax, and the one in the New York Times, "scraggly haired guru." [[Don't know how long I can stay on ]] * AlishaShatogi gives Jen a look Hello Rob :) Hello Rob. [[Its storming here and screwing up the phone lines ]] When someone on dalnet had already registeered Cody I waas REALLY that upset when I founr TheBrig free 8-D "Scraggly-haired guru"? LOL Now that's a keeper! * AlishaShatogi kicks around typos NYT, March 9, 2001 p. A-12. I'll look it up. What's the article about? [[I do have my first part of the script done except for Davids energy creatures human name]] *** Dr_10 has quit IRC (Client closed connection) grrr Aaaah! Tuna! Scraggly-haired guru and spike-headed fanatic. Now there's something to watch out for. * AlishaShatogi blinks as Tuna poofs out Don't forget the "glowing fierce-eyed feline" Tonight was to be my last night for a while. School starts next week. But I will try to make it next week to finish David 's story. mcxkc' c ',, cvo That would be great Mary. He hated to cancel this week. kikikikikiksmioikos \ \ \ Having a little keyboard problem, Rob? lty;jk';ilku;mb jk gyu;yloknk;bio oyuppik.,mmfyhjyip Orion is talking hehehe kitty cat? He doesnt speak human like me though I've got too many Did you ever read Reality Check? * AlishaShatogi calls to Kalahari Reality is so fluid though Fluid Reality Theory It's a indy comic about a cat who masters her human's virtual reality world. She makes a cat human image of herself and becomes popular with all his friends. *** Dr_10 has joined #whosim Rehi Tuna! wb Tuna *** Jacie sets mode: +o Dr_10 *poof* Welcome back! Meow Meow Ok, before we start losing ourselves to the cyberdemons, shall we get ourselves for play tonight? Yes, shall we. mraahi nraw mraaa? prrhaaoi? We need sone invaders and some sun/bird worshippers. My plan is for the story to have three sections: crew arrives in a dazzling show, locals idolize them, then the conquistador invaders arrive and wreak havoc across the beach. How is it resolved? * AlishaShatogi scrambles to the script The game ends as soon as the "godly" Doctor foils the bad guys. There is no script, Alisha. Just a premise. * IrishTimeCat puts back on his cat sun glasses OK, I will think of some way to foil them. The planet is unnamed. The locals are primitive Incan Bird people. <======I'm rather flighty....and bird brained these days...I'll be a worship bird thing. * AlishaShatogi thunks back down I had another idea today for the invaders. They'll land on the sea in giant all-terrain beach ball transports. Apparrantly NASA has a similar idea for exploring Mars, believe it or not. <> But they get out of them and starting kicking everyone around and taking their gold and jewels. Think cross between DOminators and Spanish Conquistadors. Yup, Tuna/ <> killer Klowns from Outer Space Who will play the invaders? * AlishaShatogi ecalls "Dragon and Phoenix" and how much she likes the Phoenix... Cody, wanna be a conquering soldier? I will voulneteeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr .. Excellent. *** PeregrineTLady is now known as Quetzalady "Once more unto the breech..." 8-D Cool. Roles are very open tonight.

Perhaps these robots are a part of the planetary defense mechanism which includes the energy shroud, which has now failed. Could these vapid robots be far behind in the system failure department? # If those robots plunder it all, there's no telling what they could do with the power of the firestones. # ::in cat:: Tell your human to open the bag and see what I brought .. # The silver robot sits and grasps the golden staff, slowlu it's shint surface staarts to fade:: #Or perhaps they just hide them? # So do we stop them or help them? # ::: The Doctor decides it is time for a closer inspection, and advances towards the lone robot and his beeping device.::: # Roaming Girl ... ::Watches, not knowing what is going on:: But says, they have taken the stones in the past. # Roaming Girl !! # ::walks over to Quetzal:: ehife-Quetzal, look in the bag. # What is it, Irish? # ::Looks at Shatog:: What have you, my pretty? # ::: The Doctor points to the robot:: This one seems to be undergoing a sort of transformation! # I followed the trail and got a whole bag of those red rocks .. <> # What trail?

He's helping. As for the stones, well maybe he can improvise a new subroutine for you. # ::Absently reaches in her belt pouch and gives Shatog a bit of fish:: # ::: The Doctor moves away from the robot and addresses the crowd. # ::to the confused locals:: Godspeak.
