This is where we're gonna need one of the helpful Viledarians.

I think I may have just the 'volunteer' you're lookin' for.

My thoughts exactly. Great minds and all that yummy jazz.

Okay, I'll sum up: Wow and Bravo all around! *Applause*

And now I'm going to disappear, because this week is even worse than mid-terms for me...

Anybody there?

Ny question as well. Am I holding things up? I was waiting to see if anyone else was going to post so that it didn't seem that it was a one or two player RP.

If I'm the hold-up, I can post later this evening....or at least try to.

*From underneath the table in the corner, without even pulling back the cloth on the top.*
Nope, not here. Invisible, inaudible, one hand chained to my pen, the other to my keyboard...
I have SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much writing to do in the next... ummm, counting today... five days.
Yeeek! Five?
*Sounds of papers shuffling and pen scribbling...*
(Not that Lauril can do anything right now, anyway. But yeah...)

Sorry about this, hammered into a largish project myself, so I've been neglectful as well =^^;;

I'll try to get something out this weekend! =^^;;

And everyone went inside, leaving me on sentry duty. Nothing story-interesting in -that- just yet.

*Voice from under the table.*

Actually, technically Gil, Calbeck, and Sergeant Blaghavist-Bob still ought to be outside, at least for another couple of minutes. And Fergie's just made a call for help from inside, so that could involve anyone wearing a bone-phone...

Good to see you're still around, though. Been wondering if you had just disappeared from the story. Also been wondering where McClaw was. And it's been a while since we've heard from Calbeck, too. (Maybe he disappeared down the hole the Vils were in, and how he's following a labyrinth of tunnels down, down, twisting and turning toward the center of the earth. Maybe he'll actually get there, unlike in Journey to the Center of the Earth, where they never got that far and it made me sooooooooo mad when I read it... *sees strange looks and trails off*)

Okay, okay, returning to paper-writing now.

*Wonders to self as she returns to schoolwork why she narrates her comments from under a table. Responds to self that life's just more fun that way...*

Oh, like my paranoia in "From the Earth to the Moon" where they get fired out of a giant CANNON and then, when one of the dogs is killed in the launch, they OPEN THE DOOR in SPACE to throw the dead dog out? Maybe that was the best they could do back then, but today I'm like

Wayfarer · Post by **Wayfarer** » Fri Dec 01, 2006 8:58 pm

Hehehehe. Actually, it sounds like you had just the opposite annoyance. You were irritated with the absurdly impossible. I wanted the absurdly impossible (After all, the center of the earth? Molten lava...). But I mean, really... the title was Journey to the Center of the Earth. And I read the book mainly out of an interest in place description, and the place I most wanted to see the author describe - yes as a manifestly imagined, impossible place - was the center of the earth. But then I get toward the end... and they aren't getting there. And I get to the last chapters... and they're acutally heading up instead of down... and...

I don't think I'll ever stop holding a grudge against that book for that. (Okay, so it's an "honorary" grudge... I actually remember finding the rest of the book rather interesting. But still... to not get there?

)

And yes, as a matter of fact I was returning to my homework. Honest.

*Under-the-corner-table falls silent again.*

J.A.M. has been very patient with me, possibly more than I deserve. With all the action at the ship(s), the little group of refugees has been a minor side-show.

I'm thinking.

(Besides, after the shoot-out, McClaw took one of his pills again.)

The JAM · Post by **The JAM** » Sat Dec 02, 2006 7:09 pm

I just want to know: have any of the previous events with the ships been anywhere near the refugee camp?

BrockthePaine · Post by **BrockthePaine** » Sat Dec 02, 2006 9:44 pm

Um, maybe if you want them to be?

Sharuuk · Post by **Sharuuk** » Sat Dec 02, 2006 9:47 pm

Are you referring to the original camp at Şaaruuk's campground near the lake?

If so, the prison barge is about 5 miles or so back up in a valley near the small river or large creek that runs between the rear most cabins and empties into the lake. That's the one Lauril followed when Thorgeltd set her free.

I'm not sure how far away the scout ship got before Omega brought it down.

Perhaps if someone does a recap of the recent events? I can't help but feel just a trifle confused...

Spacewolfomega · Post by **Spacewolfomega** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 4:51 am

I purposefully left the location of the downed scout ship vague so we could be flexible with it. All we know is that it was downed far enough away that no one at the prison barge could offer immediate assistance, but that some escaped mutants were able to run full-tilt and get there in a matter of minutes. Of course, I imagine they have super-speed, etc., but there ya go.

Hmmm....psychic? That gives me an idea...

BrockthePaine · Post by **BrockthePaine** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 7:48 am

Ahh! The JAM's getting a psychic girlfriend!

You know, at one point I thought it might be interesting to have a psychic girlfriend, until the point where I realized the question "Does this make me look fat?" would become unnecessary... in a way that men do not want it to become obsolete.

Her: "Does this make me look fat?"
Him: "Nope." *You can't really call the Goodyear Blimp FAT, you see...*
Her: *BEATS HIM* "I HEARD THAT!"
Him: "AAAUUUUGHH!!"
