Meanwhile, Back at the Rift

[Tex watches over Amos.]
[Tex Hywind] [under breath, to self] I have a bad feeling we might have to deal with the Mods if we get too many more of these bloody orchids ...

*Sets her nanogun to Herbicide and keeps an eye on the orchids.*

On my way. What's up?
*Fires up the raft and floats it over to Amos' position.*
Oh dear spirits! What has Amos gotten himself into?

/* Takes a closer look at Amos */
Huh, are these orchids dangerous? I thought they were just annoying, but Amos looks like he's out cold.

*hears the raft starting up*
If they have decide to move on, I hope they remember I'm here

*looking blearily at Tex* Mods? What are Mods?
*stands up shakily* Can I have a hand to get in the raft? I feel ever so weak...

*Affy has reached the end of his spell memorization techniques*
I've got twenty memorized Meef spells. I can't memorize any more effectively, unless I use one or more of those. This might protect us from those Orchids, although I wouldn't bet my life on it.

Dizzy H. Muffin Posted Feb 25, 2004
[Tex Hywind] Moderators. If the Orchids don't keep you down, THEY will. Weren't they around in your time?

*Still wearing his ring, offers Lil that hand*

Red (and a bit grey) Dog Posted Feb 25, 2004
*watches Lil attempting to climb up into the raft*
Here let me help.
*gently lifts Lil*

*Lil is suddenly pulled from Red Dog's grasp and into the raft.*
Meanwhile, Back at the Rift
Red (and a bit grey) Dog Posted Feb 25, 2004
Good man ! Now for Amos.
*rolls up shirt sleeves (for it is a considerably more difficult lifting proposition than Lil)*
Is the carpet ready ?
Meanwhile, Back at the Rift
Asteroid Lil - Offstage Presence Posted Feb 25, 2004
*an extremelt surprised Lil finds herself hauled invisibly into the raft with help from below, from Red Dog*
Woah!
*ever since the encounter with the apes on horseback, the carpet has been extremely docile on the end of its leash*
Carpet, we need your help. Could you carry our friend without bucking him off?
*Lil feels a bit silly asking a rug for a favor, but remembers the wild ride it gave her*
*to her relief, the carpet descends smoothly until it's as low as its tether will allow, about a metre off the ground*

Good Doctor Zomnker (This must be Tuesday," said GDZ to himself, sinking low over his Dr. Pepper, "I never could get the hang of Tuesdays.") Posted Feb 25, 2004
*Lowers the raft further to enable those who will load Amos onto the carpet to do so more easily.*
Meanwhile, Back at the Rift
Red (and a bit grey) Dog Posted Feb 25, 2004
*places his hands underneath Amos's muscular shoulders and heaves mightily*
Good Lord, he's a weight - he must have muscles on muscles !
*heels dragging in the dirt Amos is manhandled onto the carpet in a manner more akin to the warehouse rather than the opera house*

Can we get these orchids off? I'm feeling a little, um, I don't know how to describe. Tired? More than that. Dog tired. How are you holding up, Lil?
Meanwhile, Back at the Rift
Red (and a bit grey) Dog Posted Feb 26, 2004
*sits down for a rest feeling tired after his exertions but fails to notice an orchid on his back*

Dizzy H. Muffin Posted Feb 26, 2004
[Tex Hywind] I know plenty of ways to get rid of 'em. [gets onto the raft] The tough bit is gettin' that many offa you before they alert the Mods. How'd you get 'em off Lil the first time?
Meanwhile, Back at the Rift
Asteroid Lil - Offstage Presence Posted Feb 26, 2004
*drowsily* ...pulled them off...
*Lil slumps down in the raft, too tired to notice the orchid that has lodged just over her ear*
*sits up suddenly* So the apes on horseback are ACEs. The drums are "peery view", so the drummers must be subs. So there must be Scouts. And Tex says there are Mods. Which leads to Italics. I wonder who or where they are?
And Tex, you've got orchids on your hat.

This is an Orchid-Free zone!
