'I like this,' she mused to herself. Reminds me of the parties from my youth. Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds and red hair and multicolored skies, and great stomping beasts from out of Monty Python!'
Taking a last look at the mayhem in progress, Piosenniel used her stick to scratch her back in a decidedly unladylike manner. Something kept pricking at the small of her back, relentlessly. She turned, sword drawn, only to find Veritas nudging her repeatedly with the crystal in her staff. 'What are you doing here, my grey wizard of the North? You heard the MAN we're supposed to split up and find the REG. It's apparently gone haywire and is causing all this hooplah.' Veritas put her finger to her lips and motioned with a jerk of her head for pio to follow her. In a hollow behind a large rock formation, Veritas motioned for pio to sit beside her and proceeded to take a familiar looking laptop from beneath her robes. 'You've got Mithadan's laptop!', good wizard, keeping your head like that. 'But what good is that going to do for us?' Veritas smiled and entered the startup program for a new icon that apparently had appeared following the fiasco of the boosted REG. The initials MEGPS appeared on the screen. 'What's that?' asked pio, the letters pulsing on the screen in neon blue. 'It's how we are going to find the REG, my dear! It's a Middle Earth Global Positioning Satellite link, and you'll never guess what it's tracking for us!' Veritas punched in the letters, REG, to the query box and hit enter. There pulsing like a wildly lit Silmaril was the REG. 'We've got it now!', cried pio, 'Let's go!!'

Celeaewen, tired of listening to endless debate over the REG, decides to do something about it, instead of hearing people blather endlessly. rather foolishly, she decides that since she messed with the wiring in the first place, she might as well go fix it. she wanders off in the direction indicated by birdland, fogretting that she is armed with nothing but her throwing daggers, and that wayward REGs are extremly dangerous. fifteen minutes into wandering, she triped over a rather large holly bush, which squaked indignatly at being stepped on. bending down, she helped Belin out of the bushes, apologizing profusley for the minor accident, and explaining her intent to miraculosly find and re-wire the REG, using only her "wits" and throwing daggers. Belin just stared at the elf, thinking her slightly unstable. not that she was incredly far off. Celeaewen babbled on until she threw Belin for a major loop " want to help?"

suddenly, as Belin was still ponering the bizarre question, there came a wild pulstating blue neon light came from where Celeaewen had just left a while ago. "its the REG!" she yelled, and charged off across the part feild, dragging Belin behind her. when she arrived back at the spot, shen was incredibly dissapointed, seeing it was not the REG, but Poisenniel and Veritas at a small laptop, which the source of the light. coming stand behind them she saw a map of M.E. and a blue flashing point labeled "REG". well, this certainly made things easier.

Sam:*runs over, falling on his knees before practically crashing into Mithidan, practically crying* Mister Mithidan, sir, whatever Tiny Rose has done, I apologize! I swear she'll be by my side the rest of the time we're here (if you allow us to stay, that is) I swear, sir, I swear! An' I'll shine yours an' th' BarrowWight's boots both fer th' rest of my life! er--well, you understand me, don't you, sir?.
![]() Stacey: *Is silent, one because she probably couldn't get a word in edgewise with Sam blabbering, anyhow, and two because the last time she "opened her mouth" around Mithidan, she promptly stuck her foot in it by showing her LOTR ignorance. He had been quite gracious about the whole thing, but she figures she'd better just keep quiet. ![]()

I'm in the main plot??? Belin blinks at the suddenness of this development, not sure what to do.. she shrugs, grins, and decides to participate. She pats Celebaewen on the shoulder to comfort her for not finding the REG herself... "At least you tried," she points out, "and now we have...me! We'll see whether you're to be thanked for that soon enough, I suppose, but I thank you, anyway..." Belin gets lost in what she was trying to say, gives it up, and turns to offer her services to Piosennial and Veritas.
"So, um... where is that anyway?" she asks, referring to the blinking blue dot, and wondering vaguely how Veritas happened to come by Mithadan's legendary laptop. [ May 23, 2002: Message edited by: Belin ]

"well, i did try. o well. at least this saves a lot of pointless wandering over the party field. and dont you dare ask me to rewire it Mithidan. generally wen i say oops, it best to duck, becuz it is shortly followed by a loud BANG! and that had to have been one of those times. ill probably screw it up again, and end up electroucuting the entire what is left of the field. well, actually, it quite fun, but maybe some of you wouldnt like it" Celeaewen, by some strange virtue, managed to exhale all of this in two breaths, and stood glaring at Poisenniel, Mithidan and Veritas. hopefully, seeing as they were senior members, they would have the good sense not to let her within 10 feet of any REG ever again.

Little did Losthuniel understand that the 'Mithadan' she thought she was addressing was not really there. Veritas had incanted a small spell and produced a lovely, if slightly wavery, replica of Mithadan which lured the young elf in like a swaying cobra by nodding at her in a very affirming way at her speech.
'Quick, Veritas! Give her another nudge with your wand and I'll grab the REG.' The elf fell with a graceful swoon to the ground and smiled happily at some passing deep dream. From down the trail, came the voice of Losthuniel's companion "Hey! Where are you? Wait for me!' A simple wave of Veritas' fingers and the words 'Sleep, now, little one!' dropped the would be rescuer in his tracks. Pio, REG well in hand, motioned for Veritas to follow her. 'Let's make tracks before we lose this thing again!' 'Once we get to a safe place,' said Veritas hiking her robe up above her knees in preparation for the impending run, 'I'm going to email the BW with a ransom demand, and I'm thinking it should be a big one!' 'What an unlikely pair of thiefs we are', thought pio as her feet ate up the rocky terrain. 'I hope Birdie and C7A remember our alternative rendevous point!'

Birdie watches, mouth agog, as little Primrose lays into Mithadan like one of Berúthiel's cats. "Boy, that Primrose is one tough cookie!" marvels Birdland. She smiles fondly, remembering that she was just like that, back when she was a little whatever-the-heck-she-is lass. But age has brought, if not wisdom, then the ability to play along, until the time when she can get what she REALLY wants.
So Birdland joined in the general rejoicing as Belin and Veritas nailed the location of the REG, using Mithadan's MEGPS. Let them rejoice. But when the time was ripe, she, Birdie, would step in and see that neither the red-headed who's-it, NOR the hanging-by-a-thread (Pun wright appears and issues another citation) newbies would have the wonderful, life-enhancing box. "No one will harm the REG. NOBODY" swore Birdie silently. For you see; Birdie loved the REG. Yes, she did. |

Child raced up to Birdland with a relieved look on her face. Being a typical hobbit in a stressful situation, she was blathering on and on at the mouth, with one word following another in a string which could barely be comprehended.
Out of this avalanche of nonsense, Birdie did manage to decipher one or two salient points. Veritas and Pio had snarfed the REG and expected to meet up with Child and herself at the alternate meeting place which was down on the banks of the river. Moreover, they had managed to elude all pursuers and were in sole possession of the REG. It did not appear that Mithadan or the Barrow-wight had yet caught on to the fact that the precious REG had been recaptured. So much the worse for them, Birdland mused. Birdie turned her head and looked down towards the river. "So, it's to be the river?" she thought. "What a wonderful place. No Mithadan, no Barrow-wight. Only my 'dear' companions whose sole desire seems to be to rectify the so-called errors generated by the REG." In spite of herself, Birdland laughed. Child had caught hold of her hand and was quite literally pulling her in the direction of the river. For one terrible instant, Birdland almost lost control. She had an almost unearthly desire to make the string of words issuing from Child's mouth abruptly cease. Then she regained her composure, and pretended to accede to Child's wishes. Oh, well, this charade wouldn't have to go on much longer. Hobbits could be so annoying at times. Worst of all, when one of their number got in trouble, the others tended to rally around to help the offended or aggrieved party. That was scarcely what she wanted. In her world, the world of Birdland, only a select few of these pesky hobbits would be allowed any privileges. You know, she thought, that child Primrose does have potential, hobbit or no. If I could only get her away from her father, that goody two-shoes Sam, I woud develop her into something really worthwhile. And, once I have the REG, a little problem like that should be no problem at all........ [ May 24, 2002: Message edited by: Child of the 7th Age ]

The sweet, low sound of an alto sax was weaving through the darkness, sliding up the bank like a cat crawling on its belly. Bird was in the house, and no wizard could match the magic of his playing. 'How High the Moon' bebopped it's way into the ears of Birdie and C7A and wound itself tight and cool around their brains. The hobbit's foot started tapping the rhythm - Max Roach on the drums, Miles Davis on the trumpet, and Charlie 'Bird' Parker on the alto sax. It was Birdland, and the All Stars were jamming.
Birdie, her eyes glazed over, approached as if in a dream, her finger snapping out a counterpoint beat. Pio and Veritas sat at a small table with a large bottle of wine and 4 glasses. Two filled; two empty, beckoning. 'Come on over, you two! See what we've done. We tweaked the REG a bit, hotwired in a couple of modifications, programmed in a new access code, and got this on our first try! Cool venue, eh? A party at Birdland tonight, tomorrow the world!' exclaimed pio. 'Or at least the BW's treasure trove.' added Veritas. 'I've sent off emails to BW and the Red-haired princess and Mithadan. We should get some action soon.' Soon seemed like an eternity away as the four settled back in to groove to the music and drink wine. C7A was taking notes on the structure of the phrasings, and Birdie had settled back in her chair with the ease of a soul gone West. Pio smiled at Veritas and thought to herself, 'Perhaps this unlikely foursome will work out after all!' But the REG had a will of its own . . .

Estelyn stood somewhere on what used to be Cormallen Fields and watched the rapidly changing environment. Bizarre as things seemed, they could not daunt genuine royalty! Just as she was beginning to enjoy the cool jazz sounds coming from the riverside, she saw a sudden movement in the bushes. What was that?
"Why, I do believe it's a Snar-" and in the midst of the word she was trying to say, in the midst of the laughter and glee, she softly and suddenly vanished away...

Rose Cotton (who decided to actually read what was going on and now knows what has been happening the last few pages) gets her witts together. She was angry that she had let herself miss out on such a cool plot.
But she would need a sword. She looked around and saw a long asleep elf with a long knife at his belt. That would do nicely. Rose went off in search of Birdie, C7A and Pio.

Rose quickly found where the girl's hiding place was.
There were some bushed nearby that would be a perfect place to eavesdrop. Rose hid herself behind the bushes. Uh-oh thought Rose. She thought she had seen C7A look her way. Had she heard Rose? But Rose decided just to wait and see. If these three thought they were going to get rich they had another thing coming.

Sindacuion woke up as there was too much noise for him to sleep. "5 more minutes, mom.." As the minutes passed, he went back to sleep.. But then suddenly, he woke up, discovering that his Elven dagger was gone. "Where is it?!" He quickly stood up and looked at all the bizarre things: the princess was missing, the three ladies were dancing as the jazz music played and there were Trolls to be found. He began to run, as a Troll pursued towards him. "Gah! Somebody help!" Suddenly, an arrow went by his head. The troll fell. He looked behind him: a little hobbit girl was standing with her bow. "Thank you!" he said and gave the hobbit an Elven necklace. "I need to reward you, so here it is.. Wear it proudly."
He was very troubled, as the princess Estelyn, from the house of Telcontar, was missing. Many other guests had disappeared, along with most of the Lego-fans. He ran towards Zifnab. "What can we do? This is madness!"

As the big ugly 'n smelly hairy Gnoll Durazor had finally finished the entire buffet he stumbled up to Sindacuion. "Me thinks me could try eating the Trolls?" Durazor replied to Sind's question. "But me be all out of mustard..."

The girls Rose is watching seemed to be waiting for somthing. This gave Rose time to think.
'Alot has happened. This isn't really a party anymore. It goes deeper than that now. I like it. I hope I get more involved in these RPGs. That REG is somthing. I guess my best course of action is to try and get it to Mith. I hope Sind dosn't miss his dagger too much. I might need it. I should have brought my knife but I didn't know this would happen. And besides. (Rose looks at the dagger) this is a really cool knife. And that red headed person. I don't like what she stands for. I like newbies.' [ May 24, 2002: Message edited by: Rose Cotton ]

Celeaewen awoke with a splitting headache and reason to kill. LAst she remembered the dratted wizard had hit her AGAIN with whith that evil stick. she dragged herself up, shook her head at the evilness of wizards, and found poor Belin lying as Unconsious. Celeaewen shook her awake, explained her intent to find and kill Veritas. SHe looked around and discovered that evil Veritas had Stolen the REG and scarpered. knowing the REG far too well, Celeaewen and Belin ste off to the sound of Jazz music, not doubting that the evil Conspirators would be behind it. They reached the clearing where C7A, Veritas, Birdland and Poisenniel were drimking and listening to the jazz band. unbeknowest to them the REG, having a mind of its own, was now flashing and sparkilng with green lighting.
the REG was obviosly not happy, and unhappy REGs were highly dangerous. especially when the caretakers were drunk. all of this escaped Celeaewen, because she was seeing red, and at the center of it, Veritas. she lunged, at the same time belin went for the REG, which seemed to be rather tempermental. Celeawen tried to throttle Veritas. Belin, unnoticed as chaos regined, had the REG upside down, and was trying to pry the lid off.

In that instant, Rosseiliantiel, a close friend of Celeaewen, enters the clearing. She surveys the scene with a mixture of confusion and amusment. Then she joins the fray & attempts to clonk Veritas in the head.

Veritas was thinking about her past: stealing al repetitions for school and more of that sort of things. "I thought I bettered my life, but this is more fun than on school." The big smile on her face lasts long...
She dicided to take just on more look at the laptop to see if she programmed it right. Power on, lets start up... No responce... "F*ck!" Veritas knows already what it is. "Has somebody in coinsidence brought a reloader with? I think the power is up." "O, nice, but wait a minute, the REG, there must be enough power from that to make it work." Birdie sais. "Yeah, great idea, that REG thing must have some power over, were did we put it... ah, here it is." Pio gives the REG to Veritas, who makes a little cable between the REG and the laptop. *Flash* "Power's up again. Now lets see if BW, Princess or Mithadan already send something back." Veritas is typing with about 220 ticks a sec. "One message: Mithadan I suppose." Child lends over the laptop and reads the e-mail. "Could you tell us what's in the letter, cuz your head is in our sight." A bit sarcastic, but true, and Child begind to tell what's in the e-mail. "Hmm, nothing serious, only... what the hell's that!" Suddenly the screen lights up and there is another REG to be seen on the screen, another one, no the one that had just a minute ago! Child almost falls over the laptop by seeing the image. "Why's that thing always lost!" growls Pio, "quick, we must find him before the others are coming, or find him themselves!" "Why is nothing always working the way she wants?" Veritas sais to herself, and goes after the rest. [ May 24, 2002: Message edited by: Veritas ] [ May 24, 2002: Message edited by: Veritas ]

The REG had vanished in a puff of oily green smoke, knocking out Belin (who falls very nicely. 'just like elijah wood', remarks C7A to no one in particular). The power cord link between the REG and the laptop stretched out into a smokey void, but did not break. Pio held onto the laptop for dear life while her co-conspirators gathered their wits & gathered round her to give her a hand. Veritas was the last to join them, having deftly deflected the swordplay of a very angry elf. 'Sigh!', said Veritas holding the elf at bay. 'Don't you know we wizards line our robes with mithril? And with that she tapped her on the top of her lovely head and sent her to dreamland.
Veritas joined the group and assessed the problem. 'Ok, every one put your finger on a point of that 5 pointed star icon on the screen, fingertips touching, now hit the *enter* key,and hold on!' Nothing happened. After a few seconds, pio cracked open one tightly shut eye and asked 'Now what's the plan?' 'We need another finger to complete the link,' said Veritas. Birdie stepped a few feet to the side of the group and snaked her arm quickly into a quivering bush. Out came a wide-eyed Rosie held fast in Birdie's grip. 'Here's a hobbit with itchy fingers I'll bet, but she'll do nicely I'm sure!' Rosie's expression looked like a hamster confronted by a wickedly smiling cat. Five fingers covered the star, points to center. Veritas pressed *enter* and the now five companions followed the laptop into the darkening vortex, stretching out like wraiths called home to Minas Morgul. Pio's las thought as she entered the spinning void was, 'Very cool!' [ May 24, 2002: Message edited by: piosenniel ]

Birdland listened to the smooth riffs of Charles, Miles and the Roach drifting through the chaos of party field, a soothing balm in the midst of menace of the red-headed stranger who was wracking her vengance on all things "newbie".
Birdie briefly considered telling Piosenniel that her Mama had only named her "Birdland" because she thought that the name was "cute", and that the closest Birdie had ever come to listening to jazz was the theme for "The Rockford Files", but decided to let it go. Veritas has discovered a mysterious missive from Mithadan (clever Mithadan, communicating with the theives through his own laptop). Suddenly, Losthuniel and Belin burst into the clearing, vengance in their eyes, and descend on Veritas. Belin scoops up the REG and starts to make off with it. It admits a firey stream o green sparks. The drummer on stage immediately become a 6-foot insect and scuttles off into the bushes. The Sax player turns into a pink flamingo and flaps squalking into the air. Miles starts riffing on "The Road Goes Ever On and On." (Sorry: only pun I could think of that went with "Miles".) Child and Piosenniel rush to defend Veritas. A strange elf named Rosseilantiel strolls into the clearing, quickly assesses the major cat-fight between the four combatants. "Ooooh, a lovely fight!" Rosseilantiel dives into the fray. Birdland stands on the edges of the donnybrook, chair raised over her head, wondering just where in the jumble of arms and legs she should strike first. But when she see Belin tampering with the REG, all thoughts of former alliances evaporate from her head. "Nooooooo!!!" screams Birdie. She charges at Belin, chair raised high... |

In a heavy struggle with her atackers, Veritas sees Birdland raising a chair above her head. She trows all her attakkers off and wants to run to Birdland, but struggles over her clothes and falls on Belin. "Why don't I wear jeans?" She asks herself. She sees just the chair come done and then it's all black...

She looked around, checking for the other companions. pio was up and listening with full attention to any sounds she might pick up in the area. Veritas was hunched over the laptop, trying to get a fix on their position with the MEGPS. Rosie's eyes were fixed in anger on a spot just inches from her face and her hands spasmodically tightened around something at a point just below her gaze. 'Take that you red-headed newbie hater! Now say *welcome to the downs, newbies!' . . . or die!!!!!' 'Where are we?' asked Birdie. 'I don't recognize this place.' 'Well neither does the MEGPS', said Veritas in frustration. 'Oh oh, Toto, we're not in Kansas any more', quipped pio, who had not a serious bone in her body. Meanwhile, the REG sat benignly in the midst of them, an almost palpable feeling of anticipation and satisfaction exuding from it.

Sindacuion looks at the ladies fighting. "Ladies! Settle down! No fighting!" he says and gets hit by a chair. "When will I learn to keep out of other people's business.." he mumbles and crawls to his tree..

"AAGGGGHHH!!!!" screams Belin, as Birdie charges toward her. She holds up the REG to fend off the attack, but the faithless device vanishes in a puff of smoke, sending her sprawling. "Help!" she cries, sticking up her feet instinctively, since she has to have something to ward off the chair, but Celaewen and Rosseiliantiel pay no attention, lost in the frenzy they're aiming at Veritas. Belin is sure that they and Birdie have taken on a similar, terrifying expression, but she can't say for sure since she can't see anything but the legs of the chair. Spending time with half-crazed questing-elves is beginning to seem less and less like a good idea. She looks for a way to escape, but she's caught between the chair and the spinning vortex, neither of which is terribly comforting to her at the moment.
And here comes the chair, but fortunately for Belin, Birdland's fury is interfering with her aim, and she misses. Belin thinks frantically, but "I'm getting the worst of this..." is all that comes to mind. "I have to talk to her! Maybe she'll understand if I--" races through Belin's mind, but the only vocalization that accompanies it is, once again, "AGGGGHHHH!!!" And then, suddenly and without thinking of it at all, she blurts out a sentence that she's sure to regret: "I found out how it works!"

(Rose's view of events)
What were they doing with the laptop. There was so much Rose didn't understand. Birdie came towards Rose and she had no time to run. Birdie caught Rose by the arm and she tried to look brave but could only register fear. Then before she knew it she was sent into a vortex with the other four. They came out somewhere. But where? Rose stuggles to get her witts about her and brought out her elven dagger. Than there was that red headed newbie hater. Rose pounced on her. "Take that you red-headed newbie hater! Now say *welcome to the downs newbies!* or die!!!!" Then Rose backed away. She felt her last words before her like a thretening darkness. What was she doing? Why was she making death threats. It totally wasn't her. It must be the REG. Then Rose heard someone shout: "I found out how it works!" Rose spun around to see Belin cowerding as Birdland came at her with a chair. But she stopped at these words. Rose ran over to Belin.

("eeeek!" thinks Birdie wildly. She missed Piosenniel's first post, and now seems to be in two places at once. And I gotta go to work!. Oh well...)
Just as Birdie raises the chair over Belin's head...POOOF!!! She disappears! [I]Sorry, guys[/I} |

Rose runs up to Belin.
"Are you o.k.? Where's the REG?" Rose tried to make sence of the last page of posts but things are getting very confusing now. She figured she'd wait for somone to do somthing.

Menelduliniel comes running.
"A fight? A fight? Where? Where? Can I join?" She sprints over and tackles Rose Cotton for the fun of it. "TACKLE!" she shouts. She immediately feels sorry for tackling the little hobbit and gets off... "Err...sorry...very sorry...erm...sorry..." She gets up, brushes herself off, and looks for her next victim. She sees her husband, Legolas, going to pick up a mug, so she sprints over, and tackles him. She pins him on the ground. "Haha! Gotcha!" She immediately gets flipped and pinned by Legolas. "Oh...okay...you can get off now." As Legolas gets off, she grabs him by the legs, and pulls him over. "Your fault for not seeing that one coming!" She pins him for the count of three, then gets up and goes back over to the conversation. "I let you win!" shouts Legolas as she leaves. Menelduliniel tackles him and wrestles with him until she has him pinned. "Owow! Let go!" Legolas says. "Okay!" Menelduliniel says, climbing off. She goes over to the others: "Anyone else want to wrestle?" she asks hopefully.

Celeaewen awoke very confused, and twice as murderous. it seemed that five people had dissapeaered, leaving her, Belin and Rosseiliantiel. and a spinning vortex. seeing as her brain has been fried, she's been knocked unconsuis three times, Celeaewen's judgement is obviosly not very good, and in a fit of madness, jumped into the vortex, intent on having Veritas's head

Menelduliniel shakes off her strange tackling fit (hey: I was wrestling with my friends on the Quad of my school this afternoon...I still have bloodlust [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ).
She gets up and goes to see if she can help her friends get out of the Vortex... "What may I do?" she shouts.

After a few minutes (and after a lot of posts who all tell a different story) Veritas tries to make up what happened:
First they had the REG; Then it dissapeard, and after a few tricks she had done, didn't even know what kind of, wathever, they had it back; Again in the Bar-room, Losthuniel and Belin hit her down and a heavy fight began. Then the turning point: Birdie rises a chair, Veritas stands up and falls down again, and is a little while not on Middle-Earth. Then suddenly Rose was full of anger, not mentioning the reason. O yeah, something with a newb. It seemed that Belin wasn't hit at all, but used the REG to telleport. Untherwhile this all, the REG seemed to be first in the middle of all this, until Belin takes it to defend herself. "What are we going to do?" Birdland seems to be very confused. "My head is spinning, and I see tree Piosenniels, two Childs and five Birdies, and about thousand other people. O, and I got fourthy fingers." Veritas is a bit dizzy. "Maybe we must forget about the REG, don't you think, Child?" Pio's the most clearly of all people involved in the struggle. "Child???" "Gone, just gone, impossible" thinks Veritas. Suddenly the here a yell from outside the room... "HELP!" [ May 24, 2002: Message edited by: Veritas ]

Menelduliniel gets offended:
"I am NOT a newbie! I have been posting since the beginning of the party! Can I help it if it is sporadically, as I have school and such?" She goes and tackles Veritas (also: check out the number of posts: not a newbie, darling).

Suddenly Veritas is tackeled by VanimaEdhel, and lies on the ground again, for the second time a day.
"Hé, can we stop now, the struggle is over, and the REG is lost!" Veritas is a bit annoyed by this unexspected tackle, and climbes up again, wich is not easy, cuz Vanima lies on her. "O, stop, you stupid idiots!" Birdie sais, "We were looking for Child, who seems to be lost, and somebody outside screems 'HELP!' So lets found out who. "Wise words..." Pio is already moving outside. "Bye, Vanima! We're going to look for Child, see you later!" And Veritas runs after the other two, our four...

*Stacey is at work. How in blazes did she get there? A child yells something in Spanish, another says something about someone hitting him, while she tries to decipher another sentence in Spanish, yet another child comes charging behind her, head down, and slams her in the back.*
Stacey: Wha.....? *A little person is leaning over her, but the language coming out of his mouth is not Spanish.* Sam: Miss Stacey, you fell asleep! How could you sleep at a time like this! Primrose's run off, and everything's all crazy, and....*he looks as if he is about to cry* Stacey:*Sits up* Okay, Sam, okay...we know, however, that your daughter can take care of herself [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] *Remembers what happened with Mithidan before she nodded off*.

"Hmmm...might as well, i guess!" She shrugs & dives in.
