I take my hand away from my pocket, and pick up the mug. It is cool, and I take a long drink. When I put it back down, I notice that someone else has joined me at the bar, and is looking at me quite intently. I look over to see a bunny-morph. She winks at me, and says, "Buy me a drink?" I know what she is, but I am not opposed to lingering. After all, she looks good enough to eat. Besides, who could resist a come on line like that? "What'll you have?" I reply, with a corresponding show of lingual dexterity. She perks up, and rolls her eyes up at the ceiling. "Well," she says, "howabout...some carrot juice, for a start?" She looks back at me, with a small bunny grin on her face. "Sounds good." I look around for another barmaid. None are in evidence. I look back at her, and she is leaning against the counter, one elbow up with fist supporting face. She is dressed in a mu-mu, with an almost transluscent pink fabric. Perfect against her snow white fur. And it does cling, in a very nice way. "That is to say," I say, "as soon as I can attract a bar maid. In the mean time," I offer her some ale. Her nose wrinkles. "Ah, no thanks. It doesn't like me." She turns, and leans both elbows on the bar. The move is calculated to reveal her cleavage, which it does. Nicely. And it has been a while. She calls to one of the bar maids by name, and orders some carrot juice. =========== From: OPUS To: THE SPECIALIST Subject: Doctor?

Have you ever seen a true BBS addict in the last throes of addiction? The pale, white skin, the fingers permanently curled up, punching at an imaginary keyboard. If thon is allowed phone priveledges (sp?), thon immediately calls up the soothing tones of ten different BBS's. Occasionally, thon tries to personally hook up with the system, making the tone of a 300-baud caller and clicking thon's tongue to log into the system. Dreadful, simply dreadful. If not allowed to use the phone, the addict immediately goes into convulsions, spouting incoherently about Turtles, Armadillos, and Phone Sex. Thon's eyes tear with the need for an RGB monitor. Then the addict immediately begins searching for anything remotely resembling a modem and computer setup. One patient, A. Hektare, was discovered curled up in a corner with a Walkman playing static, a microwave oven roasting nothing, and some testing gear that had seven buttons.

Either that, or he was actually on a space station, and put to sleep, or held in cryogenic suspension, and *just* came out of it, and somehow got ejected on some sort of a lifepod, just happened to crash on this particular island, killing everyone but him in the process.... Naw, he's a loonie. I find myself relieved when he gets up and wanders off. I turn my attention back to the bunny. Someone sits down behind me, but says nothing, so I don't know if it's him again or not. The bunny has got her drink, and I feast on her good looks while she drinks it. She doesn't seem to mind my lewd gaze...quite actually encourages it. "So how about it?" she asks. I open my mouth to reply, but I am interrupted by the same morph, this time standing right next to me. I decide that the guy is definitely short a few marbles, but I can't get a word in edgewise to shut him up.

Checking a map she guesses that she's somewhere near Florida, or at least, what used to be Florida. Kyara thinks back to the journey that brought her to this island. I'll be traveling for what seems like years. After our ship got atttacked I managed to escape with three others in a lifeboat. God, I hated to see them die one by one. I guess it's because of my training that I've lasted this long. I just hope I can find some civilization. I've been rowing this damned boat for days now. Fortunately, I've still got some food left from the hunting that I did at that last islnad. God, those savages where disgusting. I just barely escaped with my life. (she breathes a sign of relief) I've been traveling and traveling looking for civilized people and all I've run into is cannibals and savages or even worse dense tropical jungles with no real means by which I could support myself safely and effectively. I just hope I can find something here. She makes camp and quickly cooks her last meal. "God, I'm sick of this damn snake meat. And if I have to eat one more fish, I going to throw up." She starts to pack her things into her backpack: knife, clothes (one outfit left, besides her ninja clothes), canteen, matches, and other assorted items. After her food gets done cooking she eats it hungrily but begrudgingly. "This is really getting old," she complains to herself. After lunch, she starts her daily mediation. When she is finished she drags to boat into a little group of trees and camouflages it and best she can. She grabs up her pack and her katana and heads west. (She landed on the east side of island.) After about an hour or two she finds a gray path. "Finally, a real path, that looks like it's been travele by humans and morphs. =========== From: SCOTT STEEL To: ALL Subject: Kyara cont. Date & Time: 04/07/91 20:25:10 Message Number 14748 She travels up the path up to the bear-morphs. "We need to see you pack. You also can't enter here with that sword, it's not allowed." Too tired and hungry (yes, again) to argue, she hands over the sword and unslings the pack. She says, "I take it I'll be getting the sword back when I leave? Are you going to let me keep my pack?" The bigger morph speaks up, "Yes, you will be getting the sword back, you can have your pack back after we make sure you have no other weapons in here." He begins to search the pack, he pulls out the knife and sifts through it again. Finding nothing of consequence, he hands it back to her. She asks, "Where can I find a place to get cleaned up and some food to eat?" The morph replies with a tone that says do-you-know-how-many- times-I've-heard-that-question?, "Yeah, just ask at the bar." She enters and finds herself in a foyer with two doors. She takes the opposite the private area. She opens the curtains and looks around the bar. She thinks to herself, I've got to get cleaned up. She sees the bartender and walks toward him. Once there, she asks, "Can I get a room or something, I want to get cleaned up." The man replies, "Certainly, right this way." He leads her to one of rooms (not in the private section) where a shower has been installed. He leaves her with instructions to return to the bar when she's though. She quickly disrobes and washes herself. She enjoys the feeling of warm water washing over her. She towels off, and puts on her last outfit, puts on her makeup and brushes her jet black hair. She heads back into the bar and goes back to see the bartender. "Thanks." she says with a tone of relief. He replies, "Would you like me to set up a tab for you?" Without hesitation, she says, "Yes." The man continues, "Would you like something to eat or drink?" "Definitely," she says, pulling out a small wade of money t show him that she can afford the tab he generously offered her. =========== From: SCOTT STEEL To: ALL Subject: Kyara cont. Date & Time: 04/07/91 20:49:19 Message Number 14749 She says, "I'll take a large glass of milk and some steak and eggs, over-easy." The bartender turns away to give the order to the kitchen. When he returns he notices that she's looking around the bar. And decides that he'll just have her food brought out to her when it's done. Kyara scans the bar, looking at the various different people here. And abruptly stops when she sees a man sitting behind a chess board, and notices that he's rather attractive. She decides that she's ask him if he'd like to play, considering herself to be a rather good player in her own right. If anyone is looking at Kyara, she is about 4'10" and very thin. She's got straight jet black hair that would remind you of a China Doll. Her breasts are above average in size, in comparison to most orientals who normally have small breasts. She has light gray eyes and a dazzling smile. She has the normal slant to her eyes that most oriental people have. She sits down next to the man in the white suit and introduces herself. "Hello, my name is Kyara. Do you mind if I join you?" =========== From: TURTLE To: =ALL= Subject: This Area Date & Time: 04/07/91 21:57:38 Message Number 14750 This conference has now been pressed into service as a forum for dis- cussing what's going on in the Den of Decadence, and for working out problems in the storyboard. First of all, it was just brought to my attention that a lengthy post introducing Shandra and Robert was futzed shortly after I posted them, which is why there seems to be some confusion about the roles of these two people. The problem has been fixed (took two hours, too...ah, the life of a sysop). Therefore, I ask that all storyboard members please re-read Message #14483 and Message #14484. Second, a nte on the geometry of the Den. The building itself is divided into two parts: the bar and other miscellaneous rooms comprising the part open to the public, and the larger 'private' area where the staff lives and the brothel operates. These two sections are side-by-side. Entry is by means of a spacious foyer, with doors leading into the public and private areas. Also, there is a curtained- off door in the wall between them; when you are in the bar, you can pass into the private area through the curtain that's behind the actual bar itself. That way, it is not necesary to pass through the foyer to go from one part to the other. (Technical note: If you can't see Conference 12, you don't have access to the private area.) It would seem that entrance to the Den is controlled by some rather large bear-types who serve almost as guards. Since nobody seems to be running these characters, I would suggest that either Saavik or myself do so. Saavik? The bartender is male; his name is (I believe) Jervis or Jarvis. This character is controlled by Saavik. Thank you for your support.

"Kyara. You are a very lovely woman. Most graceful." Robert leans back in his chair again and surveys the woman critically. After a moment, he returns his attention to the chessboard and advances the white king's pawn two squares. This done, he folds his hands under hish chin and gazes levelly at Kyara. "Robert," he offers. "I like your form. Who's your sensei, then?" A barmaid arrives with Kyara's breakfast and places it next to the chessboard. "Put this on my tab, please" Robert says to her as she departs. "Can't abide milk myself," he remarks in an offhand way to his companion. "Bloody awful stuff." =========== From: SCOTT STEEL To: SCOTT STEEL Subject: Still moving Date & Time: 04/08/91 02:21:24 Message Number 14757 "I happen to love milk," picking up the glass and nearly quaffing to whole thing, "it's good for you. You really should develop a taste for it," she advices. Kyara continues quickly, hoping that she didn't accidently step on his toes, so to speak, "Thank you for breakfast, it's been a bad day." "So, I take it you fancy yourself to be a good chess player? I learned how to play back home in Japan? Where are you originally from?" She moves her queen's knight's pawn up one space. Damn, he just moved his King's pawn one more space as if he didn't even consider the move. This guy may be better than I anticipated, Kyara thinks to herself. This man is very attractive and incredibly clever, I'd better be on my guard. Hmmmm....aaahhh....King's bishop's pawn up one, that should slow him down...Uh-ih, he just advanced his queen's pawn two spaces. Now I can't take his pawn. .....she thinks again.....okay... I'll just move out my king's knight's pawn two spaces. True, that leaves me vulnerable, he could take that pawn, but he'd be sacrificing his bishop. I don't think he's that stupid. I wonder what he'll do next. "So, you think I studied martial arts? Is that just an assumption based on the fact that I am obviously oriental?" She continues, "Have you studied the martial arts? I've always been fascinated by them. My father, God rest his soul, used to take me and my brothers and sisters to the matches in Tokyo. It was so exciting, you wouldn't believe how fast some of those guys can move." =========== From: ROBERT To: KYARA TOKYO Subject: Moving along... Date & Time: 04/08/91 02:45:20 Message Number 14758 Robert gazes at Kyara without moving a muscle as she speaks, then advances his queen to the right-hand edge of the board. "Check," he says in an offhand voice, "and mate, Mate. Tsk. Terribly sorry 'bout that. You studied in Japan, you say? I was there briefly, in Ryo, during that little spot of trouble after your Racial Purity Act." He signals to one of the barmaids and indicates his desire for a martini. "You seem a little off-balance," he says to Kyara when it arrives. "One of the many uses of martial training: focusses the mind wonderfully. Helps you keep your equilibrium, you know. Another round, perhaps?" =========== From: KYARA TOKYO To: ROBERT Subject: Defeat..... Date & Time: 04/08/91 17:02:02 Message Number 14764 Kyara's head shakes as if you had just been splashed in the face with ice water when she sees Robert's quick-kill maneuver. Still in shock, she says, "I can't believe you just did that! I never saw it coming!" Robert's martini arrives and he asks her for another game. She adamantly replies, "You'd better believe I want another game." Kyara's eyes start undressing Robert. Slowly removing his suit in her mind's eye. "Robert," a definitely more seductive tone in her voice, "do you want to put a little wager on this one?" =========== From: ROBERT To: KYARA TOKYO Subject: Well, now. Date & Time: 04/08/91 17:31:41 Message Number 14766 "Well, now, I always did consider myself a sporting chap," Robert says as he sets up the board again. "An' what exactly did you have in mind, then?" He takes a sip from his martini, and turns the board around so White faces Kyara. "Your opening," he says. =========== From: SHANDRA To: ALL Subject: Meanwhile... Date & Time: 04/08/91 17:34:53 Message Number 14767 The tailless morph doesn't seem to react to the shot in the ass. Strange; most people tend to take notice of that sort of thing. His eyes are glazed, pupils dialated; he seems unsteady on his feet. Hmm. I put the autoinjector away and look more closely at the little morph. Yes, sure enough, there is a knot on his head, partially concealed by what's left of his fur. Crossing the bar, I walk over to Tampa's table. "I hate to disturb you, Ma'am," I say, "but our friend over there appears to have a concussion. I don't think he's even aware of where he is or when he is. We don't have the facilities to treat him; I'm wondering if it might not be a good idea to warm up the hover and take him to the hospital. He's in pretty bad shape. There's something about his condition that's kind of familiar, too, like maybe he was attacked by one of those right-wing anti-morph religious groups. They sometimes took souvineers from their targets. Possibly the Sword and Arm of God loonies; I don't know. I haven't heard of that kind of activity in the Chains before; I'd like to check some things out if I may." =========== From: DRAGONFLY To: DEATH FENNEC Subject: Anything 2 add?

Sounds like a fascinating teacher. (They didn't have too many of those in my extremely conservative Christian school.) That brings me to an interesting question: what do y'all feel should be the place of religion in the schools? Do you feel that no religious matter should ever be discussed in public schools, even to the point of not telling certain episodes of history? (In other words, if some war were over religion, should we say that?) Should we mention religion only when it's absolutely necessary -- to explain historical matters, for example -- but not, say, include any pieces involving religion in a literature class? (That is to say, every period of history had at least some good works which had nothing to do with religion -- even during the Middle Ages.) Should they embrace all "major" religions equally, having special speakers from each "major" religious body lecture to the students? (And how do you define "major"? If there's ten students in a body of a thousand that believe in the Cult of the Armadillo, is that a "major" religion? How about if just one student believed in it?) I'm not talking about whether a Bible study (or a B. Gita study, or a study of any religious text...) should or shouldn't be allowed to meet on high school grounds. I'm asking what the teachers should be allowed to teach in the classrooms. My own viewpoint is that high schools (and, to a lesser degree, junior high schools) must teach classes on the religions and philo- sophies of the world. Although there's no hope of ever teaching every religion of the world, it's fairly easy to group the largest religions, explain the basic beliefs to all of them, and then define the differences. Same with the philosophies of the world. How do I define 'major' religion? I just chicken out, and say that =========== From: DRAGONFLY To: JONBOY Subject: Anything butSex Date & Time: 04/08/91 18:40:07 Message Number 14777 any religion is 'major' if one percent of the student body believes in it. Any 'major' religion should be taught -- and any 'non-major' religion that has sufficient interest. Without an understanding of religions in the world, we can't under- stand much of history, literature, or even music. Human nature demands that there is a reality outside of this one, and searches for any indication that there might be one. To ignore that is to ignore a hugh part of humanity.

"I'll be back shortly, why don't you see what you can find out about this fellow. Someone must know something about him." Tampa waits until Korelyan is out of the room before she walks over to Shandra. "Do you really think someone did that to him from one of the Anti-Morph groups?" She shuddered as Shandra shrugged in responce. "Scares me to death to think that we may have that kind of activity around here." She sighs deeply. "I thought that we were safe here.

(And NOT, as some people have said, the Society for Creative Anarchy.) The SCA is a society that re-creates the Middle Ages and the Rennaisance "as they should have been." No, we don't believe in the Black Plague, and yes, we do believe in modern medicine. (To answer the two most common questions.) Most medieval fairs in the country (that have been started in the past fifteen years) were started by the SCA. (And many of them were later taken over by others.) We put on our own "events" -- usually not as showy as medieval fairs -- in various places around the country. Our main interests tend to be in swordplay, or in the arts and sciences of the Middle Ages. Each member of the Society creates a 'persona' of someone who could have lived in the Middle Ages or Rennaisance. Sometimes these 'personas' are extremely well-thought out, other times (like mine) they're not much more than a name and a rough sketch. There is royalty in the Society (determined by swordplay: the best swordsman or -woman is King or Queen for six months), nobility (determined by service to the Society), and various titles for various positions in the Society. Is it a cult? Well, we do dress up in really strange costumes and prance around fires. And we do have the philosophy of medieval chivalry. But, it's basically just a lot of fun. //Dragonfly// =========== From: DRAGONFLY To: SAAVIK Subject: :> Date & Time: 04/09/91 12:35:33 Message Number 14819 Thanks! back at ya, //Dragonfly// =========== From: DRAGONFLY To: TURTLE Subject: Life (sigh) Date & Time: 04/09/91 12:37:50 Message Number 14820 T> On the SCA, though, I always thought it was for people with no lives T> of their own...silly me. :P I won't dignify that with a response. //The pissed-off Dragonfly// =========== From: DRAGONFLY To: TURTLE Subject: Smart 1 or Amy?

T> Your point, please? Granted. Showing dogs can be a profitable hobby. But not very profitable. Let's face it. Most dog shows do not give out a lot of money. As I recall, in a big dog show, the grand prize might be $100. The biggest money would come from selling puppies from a grand champion. It takes at least five years for a dog to become a grand champion. And you can't let her get pregnant during that time. Let's say you're lucky, and the dog has litters every year for the next four years. Let's say you're extremely lucky, and none of the pups have any birth defects. (In some breeds, like Dalmatians, this is extremely rare.) Let's say each litter has four pups, which each sell for $500. Let's see -- for ten years' work, you get $8,000 -- plus whatever slight money you made from showing the dog. Let's say, $10,000 total over ten years. That's about $1,000 a year, minus the cost of keeping up the dog and time lost grooming the dog and taking her to shows. (If the dog is male, of course, much less money would come in.) I doubt most people showing dogs are really just doing it for the money. //Dragonfly// =========== From: DRAGONFLY To: SAAVIK Subject: Smart or Chain?

She begins first by moving her queen's knight to queen's bishop three, and says, "As far as playing for ..er,..sexual favors is conerned, that's the idea, but how do you suggst making this wager more interesting? Isn't the idea of having me, win or lose, interesting enough? By the way, I have no intentions of losing this game." She smiles. She continues to eat her steak while waiting for Robert to make his next move. She begins to fantasize about him, but is interrupted by Robert moving /his/ queen's knight to queen's bishop's three. She boldy advances her king's bishop to queen's bishop five and finishes off her breakfast. Kyara waves over the barmaid to take her plate. Robert then moves his king's bishop to queen's bishop's five also. Kyara starts to wonder how lond he's going to continue to match her move for move. As it stands now, both sides are a mirror image of the other. She decides to move her queen's pawn forward one and says, "Well, your idea to spicen it up a little?", she smiles provocatively at Robert. =========== From: THE SPECIALIST To: DEATH FENNEC Subject: Anything 2 add?

If a student wants to do further reading on religion, then he is welcome to go to the library and look up w whatever religious information he wants. Yes, religion has played major roles in wars, to be certain. Just make reference to the religion, and if the student wants to look it up for himself, then have the reference material ready. DF>Can I take you position to be the 'No religion in the public DF> schools', then? No. And yes. If they want to learn it, they will. On thier own time. Shouldn't have to waste time learning the finer points of all religions. =========== From: THE SPECIALIST To: DRAGONFLY Subject: Smart 1 or Amy?

Date & Time: 04/10/91 18:31:20 Message Number 14882 I ponder what was said to me, and I say, "Well, it seems that he wanted to talk, that is before I asked him to be quiet. Maybe I can help." I get up and walk over to the little morph. "Hey, fella. I didn't catch that name. And where did you say you were from?" =========== From: OPUS To: SHANDRA Subject: Hmm... Date & Time: 04/10/91 18:40:44 Message Number 14883 Upon seeing that all eyes are turned upon me, I begin to panic. I suddenly turn towards the entrance/exit and scamper towards it screaming, "No mamma, don't go in ma!". The result being a crash with a gentelmen in a BRIGHT white unifrom walking in. "Excuse me", I mutter as I get up from on top of the fellow and return to the group that was talking to me. "Kheblan, the names Kheblan, you can call me Kheblan", I murmer. "Well I beleive we were talking about someone getting attacked, oh m y is there more viloence around here, if so maybe I ought to leave." [-Author Note-] [-Charecter Description (Finally.) Kheblan is a short Fox Morph, Approximately 5' 6", and about 120lbs. He suffers from breif memory slips as a result of the traumas he's undergone in the recent past. He has a light brown (tan I suppose) coat, and is human in appearence except for his coat, and tail, errr should I say was-there -but-its-not-anymore-tail. He Carriees no weapons or equipment, as a matter of fact his only apparent belongings are the tattered shirt and pants that he is wearing. His furs is uncombed, but appears to have been washed lately, though it does have the odor of Seawater. His face is extremely human-like, just a little hairy, it is apparent that he was well-shaven but now there appears to be a month or so's worth of wiskers on his face (so my hair grows slow, oh well.) And that's it for now. -] =========== From: SAAVIK To: DRAGONFLY Subject: votes on handle Date & Time: 04/10/91 19:22:30 Message Number 14885 The fifth Star Trek film was "different". But I liked it, I don't care what the critics say. Shatner (as a director) is no Nimoy but I didn't think he did such a bad job. But then again, I love ST so much, I would have liked it even if it had been a complete bomb. I think maybe the "critics" expected more, and were disappointed. =========== From: SAAVIK To: DRAGONFLY Subject: Smart or Chain?

Date & Time: 04/10/91 19:35:16 Message Number 14889 Some people do make a living off of dog shows. They use them as a tool to advertise their Kennels. They rake in stud fees and puppy sales. And if you really get into the "big time", Westminster, for instance, then you can see some real bucks. All in all, though, I think most people do it because they like it and it keeps them busy..... plus, if they own a kennel, they can write off mucho expenses on taxes. Did you read about the woman, a few years back, who had her dogs impounded in Sarasota at a dog show? She had something like 72 poodles in her van. Geesh!!!! =========== From: SAAVIK To: DRAGONFLY Subject: Smart or Chain?

Date & Time: 04/10/91 19:57:20 Message Number 14897 Yep, Dogs are loud, smelly, overbearing and they DO eat too much. But they are also ( for the most part) loyal, loving, tolerant, and protective. My Doberman (her name is Saavik) is only 7 months old. She's a big lug, she drinks water and slings it all over you, she wakes me up in the middle of the night by jumping on the bed and laying across me, she steals socks and takes them outside, she drags sand in the house...... but she truly adores my family and she'd fight anyone who tried to harm them to the death. No One will ever enter my yard with intent to harm my family or property as long as she is patroling. =========== From: TURTLE To: DEATH FENNEC Subject: !!:> Date & Time: 04/10/91 23:04:38 Message Number 14898 >...I mean, geesh, don't be so anal repulsive!
