[The twins appear. They are taking no chances: each is invisible, taking in their surroundings only with their psychic powers; each has an SEP field around them. NOBODY NOTICES THEM.]

Okay, so first of all, we'd better see if anyone else wants to come with us. I think the Man in the Flaming Pie was interested...?

Don't go jumping waterfalls
Please keep to the lake
People who jump waterfalls
Sometimes can make mistakes

I guess he's coming along then. 
Okay - we can pick more people up as we go along - so off we go.

This reminds me of the Wind in the Willows...
Very peaceful, calm and relaxing.

The Fish Posted Nov 1, 2000
Yes, it does rather... Ok then you be Badger, I'll be Mole
*Strokes the pole through the water and they slowly drift upstream...*

[The twins, at precisely calculated instants, nudge the boat UNNOTICEABLY so that it will head for that tree over there ]

The Fish Posted Nov 2, 2000
*Being an expert puntsman, he notices a change in the current and corrects the course of his craft...*
Hmmm It's getting a bit chilly up above ground....
The River
Bluebottle Posted Nov 2, 2000
True... We're nearing where the River Vavoom flows into the river - it's a lot colder up that estuary.

Ketsar and Poxlu, the MewOne Twins Posted Nov 4, 2000
[I said UNNOTICEABLY. I thought it would be funny for that scene when Ratty crashes into the tree would be funny. 
Oh well...]

That's funny - you used funny twice in one funny sentence. Funny that.
The River
The Fish Posted Nov 4, 2000
I know you said unnoticeably! I didn't notice what you did, I noticed what the River was doing

Let's use CONTINUITY HTML tags to denote things which refer to Continuity, shall we not?

What was it I read somewhere....
"[The twins appear. They are taking no chances: each is invisible, taking in their surroundings only with their psychic powers; each has an SEP field around them. NOBODY NOTICES THEM.]"
No.... I must have dreampt it all
*Punts happily up stream..... past the estuary to the vavoom river and on towards the town*
The River
Bluebottle Posted Nov 5, 2000
I don't know about you, but I can never get used to the way that mountain up ahead looks. 
The River
Ketsar and Poxlu, the MewOne Twins Posted Nov 5, 2000
[The twins look at each other in mild surprise and then move forward with the boat. They see the mountain]
The River
The Fish Posted Nov 8, 2000
Well.... I always thought that it looked like a mountain.... but I don't know what a mountain looks like to a bluebottle....
*Punts happily*
