*sits down in the shade of the trees, on the natural bench made by the edge of the path, and admires the park-like interior of the island*
*waits for the others*

*jumps*
Oh Amy, I didn't see you there! Or the tea things, for that matter. Thank you, I would ~love~ a cup!
No, I was looking at that tall thin multi-colored thing over there. It must be the control tower for the EWR.
Have you a plate for the mbougatses? Please help yourself.

Sorry, Lil. I toddled on ahead to put the kettle on. *passes Lil a plate*

Witty Moniker Posted May 6, 2003
*Makes her way to the crossroads and joins Amy and Lil.*
Do I smell ? Ah, good!
*Pours herself a cup, sits down on the ground and crosses her legs.*
But coincidence, EWR is also the designation for Newark Liberty International Airport. But the control tower there doesn't look any thing like this one.

*arranges the mbougatses on the plate then places them within reach of everyone, after breaking off a small piece for Amy*
Watch out for parrots!

Garius Lupus Posted May 6, 2003
*A green blur flashes over the plate and there are one fewer mbougatses. Crumbs begin to fall from a nearby tree.*
Pierrot: Awwwwwwkkkkk! A little worse for wear but they'll do.

Garius Lupus Posted May 6, 2003
Pierrot: Awwwwwwkkkkkk, mbougatses aren't bad either.

*twitches convulsively and jumps to her feet*
Air Raid! Air raid! Take cov- Oh. It's Pierrot.
*sits down again and reaches for more tea* Well, I feel rested now. I needed to recover after what we've been through.

*opens one eye and looks up into the tree at the parrot*
It's so nice here but I suppose we must be going. Where is everyone?

Ah, well... Hey there, Lil, Amy , Garius , Caer, Witty, and...

*stands up and dusts herself off* I suppose it's getting time for us to observe the distinctions and become audience and players again. Shall we watch the other actors come through or go on ahead?

You all look terribly relaxed. It can't have been much of a ride, huh?
