Meanwhile, Back at the Rift
Ivana A Nestle Posted Mar 5, 2004
I know where the Mine is Gord ...... I did some "voluntary work" there before I worked my way up in the CLI-STUMPED organisation.
You should speak with your friends first though - this will not be easy on them. Lets go back to the group.
*walks back with Gord*

*pops up again, hastily stuffing something inside of her shirt*
No luck...
*crawls up on the beach*
I'm starving - any chance of something even close to breakfast?

What a good idea, Witty.
I wonder if green 
might act as a ward against orchid infestation? It is an excellent antioxidant you know and good for the metabolism.
*gets the things out and prepares a brew*

All I found was this box of corn flakes and powdered milk. I guess it's just as well, anything fresher would certainly have spoiled.
*Grabs a pail off the deck, clambers over the side of the raft and scoops some water out of the river.*
The water looks clear... I wonder if we should boil the water before I add the milk powder? Just to be safe, I will.
*Pokes the remains of the campfire, adds a couple of small branches and sets the pail in the fire. Sits down and closes her eyes for a few minutes while waiting for the water to boil.*

*takes an ICM (Improbably Condensed Meal) out of her backpack*
How about a Spanish omelette, sliced jambon de Paris, sourdough muffins and grilled mushroms? 
*throws the ICM brick into the water*
* a few minutes later Lil is fishing sliced ham, biscuits, omelettes and mushrooms out of the pail and larding it onto plates*
Meanwhile, Back at the Rift
Witty Moniker Posted Mar 5, 2004
Wow! That's terrific, Lil!
*Takes a plate and digs in, only now realizing how hungry she is.*
You know, I don't think I got a chance to tell you all how nice it is to be back together.

Combine CLI tech with Matina's cooking and you get the ICM. They're quite light, too. *fishes a few bricks out of her backpack and hands them to Witty* Just in case the party gets split again, heaven forbid.
It's good to see y'all again. *starts eating* Whatever happened to the Christmas tree? Or the rat-ants? Or Styx, or Violets?

Last I saw Violets, she was protecting the roots of the Christmas tree. Titania, Affy and I were at the camp when suddenly a bunch of Gobolds and rat-ants came boiling out of the ground. Their king was sure angry about something, I'm not sure what. We finally managed to fight them off only to be attacked by some sort of rock monsters. We out-witted them, too and the king gave up and left us alone.
After things settled down the rat-ants wrangled the tree into place and urged us to follow them underground where they were able to show us the access point to the rift. In fact, a number of them came through with us. I wonder where they went.
And I assumed Amy was with you. Have you seen her?

*watches Gord and IAN walk along*
What a cute couple they make!
*turns back to camp and sits down next to the remains of the fire, happy to be amoungst friends*

Orchid design? Huh?!
*looks down at leg*
STUMPED? Is this the same STUMPED I'm thinking of... GL?
Meanwhile, Back at the Rift
Coniraya Posted Mar 6, 2004
Omelette! Just what I fancied
STUMPED? Didn't we come across them when we went off to look for Affy4.....or was it 5?
Oh dear I do get so confused.
I hope Amy is safe, perhaps she went back to the Atelier, but I expect where ever she is, Styx is keeping a red eye on her.

Titania (gone for lunch) Posted Mar 6, 2004
*sits down very close to the camp fire, trying to dry herself*
*takes of knee-high boots made of soft light-brown leather with long strings to keep them up*
*wrings water out of her long and wide moss-green skirt*
*takes of moss-green cape and light-brown suede west*
*her white shirt with voluminous sleeves is tucked into her skirt, revealing a bulk just above her waist*

Oh, it's most definitely the STUMPED you're thinking of, Sea. Sinister Thinkers Unleashing Multifarious, Pernicious Evil Deeds. I've never heard of another STUMPED, to be honest.

I am off on holiday tomorrow morning, please make use of my mother's melamine set, take care of it and assume I'm tagging along, or is that PAGging?

Afgncaap5 Posted Mar 7, 2004
PAGging! We just witnessed the creation of a new piece of hootoo jargon!

Have fun, Caer. 
Well, Ti, where exactly are we? I don't think I've ever been here before, but it still is strangely familiar...
Oh, and what is that above your belt? You didn't end up with a fish or a frog as a companion after all that diving?

soeasilyamused, or sea Posted Mar 7, 2004
Then perhaps I might be of use. I have had... er, connections with STUMPED, after all...
What do we need to do? Get through their complex?
