She looks up to the heavens, speaking to the bright full moon above:: @ Lord of Light, Heavenly Mother of Night, I beseech thee, here my call. @ ::throws a pinch of herbs into the campfire, making it shoot green-blue sparks:: @ :::The mist seems to take the shape of a tatterd figure moaning in pain:: @ Here me Great Mother, Supreme Father above, sent to me the wisdom of your ages. @ ::tosses another handful of herbs. The fire flares several feet high with a bang, the flame turning a mixture of red, then orange, then right green and finally an eerie blue:: @ ::Ravena rolls backward, alarmed:: @ ::a fierce squall rips through the forest, swirling about the blue flames:: @ ::it turns them from flaming hot to a haunting misty blue decorated only with a swirl of starlight:: @ ::A mist swirls into the shape of a taterd figure moaning in pain:: @:::Jefferson::orders reports from Adams and Robertson. @ ::kneeling in the shadows, watches the spectacle, eyes widened in horror and surprise:: @ Lord have mercy. ::makes a sign of the cross:: @ ::eyes never leave the figure forming out of the flames:: @ ::fears the figure is a demon, wonders if she should chance fleeing:: @ ::flashes on her sainted grandfather and his warnings about talking to the spirits:: @ ::whispers to self:: Only fools seek to the dead.

Start of #whosim buffer: Thu Feb 12 22:10:03 2004 *** Now talking in #whosim *** Topic is 'NADW Sim: Weekly Doctor Who Roleplay Games' *** Set by JenKoko on Mon Feb 09 21:53:16 *** ChanOP sets mode: +o Jacie Hi Jen I had a strange affliction and when I woke up I had purchased a SPACE 1999 dvd box set with 48 episodes. Sorry guys. I overslept from my nap. not that I k now of, Duncan Jen,you made it,it is I,Duncan *** Jacie sets mode: +o AlxKeegan *** Jacie sets mode: +o Pegleg_The_Smeg Naps good. *** Jacie sets mode: +o Tuna It's so cold these days, when you see a warm bed you just can't resist. And Naps spelled backwards is Span! So no Rob or Cody? Cody still has his connection problems Jen. It is interesting how so many of our screen names up and to the rright represent our favorite NADW characters (not mine of course). I like it. Cody tried to get on and got punted? Pegleg's favorite pasttime is to banter with and insult bad guys! Ok, I leave it up to you. Do you want to press on without Cody and Rob or postpone another week? Afraid so,Jen,poor Cody I hoped you could help him resolve his connection problems for good! Unfortunately we had no information to go on. No error messages, no software installs, nothing significant. Please,let us press on,we can send game logs to Rob and Cody to keep them up to date! We tried other chat networks. He still got punted. I had some difficulty but solved it by changing browsers. sorry to hear that *** ^Cknd\|G has joined #whosim *** ^Cknd\|G has left #whosim Who was that ghost? Trollers.
