Makes ya wonder if he really did have health issues to last so long....
Lil, are these rat-ants demons? No wonder they don't look like they come from Zork!

I recollect Styx telling me that they were of the same ilk as he. We all know that Styx is a demon rat, but he's not evil, just morally ambiguous. I think it's the same with these rat-ants. A bit wayward, strange sense of humor. I bet the rat-ant army of Minos Krylma are about as dependable as these guys.
We need to push on. Affi and Garius, have you any ideas about Admin Level 2?

*through clenched teeth, to the maid*
Let me get this straight. You do a horrid job of cleaning up like I asked you to originally, leave the Pocket messier than it was when you found it, and cut a giant hole in my pants through which HORSES ARE ESCAPING?! I should report you to the Better Business Bureau. You're a sham of a maid.
*pauses, thinks*
You know what? I take that back. You did a fine job. It was quite messy in there to begin with. Just one last thing I need from you, then I'll give you two million Moxons and let you go. The crisper needs a quick cleaning after all this time... It's dirty. Would you be so kind? 
*shows the maid to the crisper*

*Waits to see what the Maid's reaction is*
I will be away until Sunday evening.

/* Ducks as the stick bounces off the closed balcony doors, flies over his head, and lands back at GL's feet. Zeppo growls at it but does not let go of the shoe */
Wow, Chloe sure has gotten those glass doors clean, you can barely tell that they're shut.
/* Pours some vodka in his tea cup */
Amos, I hope you're right and this blocks some of that noise. I keep picking up someone thinking about "grip-eze" handles or something.

Amos has been doing magic, with Styx's help; perhaps that has made him more sensitive? For my own part, I think my emotional reactions have been heightened and there's a bit of a background buzz, but beyond that it's been a curiosity rather than a hindrance.

*Groans as the stick lands at his feet. Thinks: if only I had a squirrel. Picks up stick and looks around for somewhere to throw it. Shrugs.*
Okay, Zeppo! Get the stick!
*Throws the stick into the kitchen, where it bounces off of sea and into the crisper drawer. There is a small flash and it disappears.*
Oh man!

Feisty Maid Posted Apr 25, 2004
Clean the crisper drawer? CLEAN THE CRISPER DRAWER! YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF NERVE, ASKING ME TO CLEAN THE...
Ooooo, it IS pretty dirty, isn't it?
*Pulls out a cloth and begins to reach out with it towards the crisper drawer. Just then, a stick bounces off of sea and falls in the drawer. Feisty Maid witnesses its fate, stands up and glares at sea.*
ONE MORE TASK, EH? JUST CLEAN THE CRISPER DRAWER, EH?
*grabs sea and starts shaking her*
MAYBE YOU'D LIKE A TRIP INTO THE CRISPER DRAWER YOURSELF, EH?

I hope that stick didn't interfere with Matina's groceries.

*sighs, thinking that this is going to take all day if someone doesn't do something*
*realizes 'someone' is probably herself and not someone else*
*pulls upp sleaves and heads for kitchen*
*pulls sea and her maid apart*
*gives sea *
*gives the maid *
Now sit down the both of you, and make a deal! NOW!!!
*stomps out of the kitchen, spots Zeppo*
*gives Zeppo *
Zeppo - LET GO!
Sheesh - what's the matter with everybody?

*looks pensive* I don't know. I have a sudden desire to stay right here and not go adventuring any further. Matina and Chloe will take care of me.

*Looks at sea with raised eyebrows*
She's worse than either of us! Did you catch that Look?
*Shakes head in admiration.*
Well, I'm willing to let bygones be bygones. But I do expect reasonable payment for all my work under, um, less than ideal conditions.

Lil, I had exactly the same thought.
Hot water, lovely food, plenty of

I have a craving for Sticky Toffee and mboutgases as well even though I have no idea what Sticky Toffee and mboutgases are
It's the effect of the orchids getting worse isn't it ?
