eeeeeeekkkkkkkkkk!........A rat!
.
....momentarly forgetting I used to have a pet white rat I jump on table!
.
...after coming to my senses I fetch a ginger ale with 2 cheries, and a stickle bar for rat to chew on, and a walnut in its shell, as rats are quite partial to chewing to get nut inside.

Hello, Styx.
*waves a wing at the rat under the table*
I've heard about you from others, but have never actually met you before. Pleased to make your acquaintance.
*muches on an after-dinner mint*

*sits back with interest while Amy
manoevres the ever closer to the tables edge. Will Styx catch the pie - or will it land on top of him?

Styx. Excellent. I was hoping you would make an appearance. Your exploits with Amy are legendary.
I am working, my friends. I'll post a link to our diplomatic room soon.

Styx the Rat Posted Aug 22, 2005

*dunking cherries in ginger ale and nibbling*
Rathome giving big sewer monster in painted cage and platoons of rat-ants for legation.
*red eyes glow* Bigfoot made a knight now! Heh! Good.
*jumps off table, scampers around sniffing feet of new humans*
*looking up* Night bird!
*looking around for ant lady*

Greensleeves Posted Aug 22, 2005
*blinks myopically at Styx the rat*
"Umm... do you know you're a rat?" she says.
Oh dear. It looks as if Greensleeves has been wrapping her olives in martinis again this evening. At least she's still more or less vertical.

Blue-Eyed BiPedal BookWorm from Betelgeuse (aka B4[insertpunhere]) Posted Aug 22, 2005
[In mid-chew, B4 goggles at Styx. He sets down his plate and glass, and saunters over to where the rat is capering. B4 crouches down a bit and says earnestly...]
I don't think I made the time to thank you for bailing me out of a dark situation, the last time we met. Your navigation skills through the tunnels inside HoHo Spire on MaGoose Island saved the whole party from going astray, including my alter ego, Purr in Boots. So...anyway...Thanks for saving my bacon. 
[B4 rises again, walks back to the buffet table, and pulls the tablecloth carefully so it dangles nearer the floor. He looks back toward Styx.] 
Leg up...?

Mr. Cyde: The Tearer and Master of Bad Jokes. Posted Aug 22, 2005
Well hello there. A rat with style.
So are we going to present ourselves to the two-leg people with gifts? If so I must start my factory making wonderous things.

Lentilla (Keeper of Non-Sequiturs) Posted Aug 31, 2005
[Lentilla pauses as a large Dalek-style bot trundles into the room. It starts chanting 'EXTERMINATE' loudly, and Lentilla has to shut it off before it removes the rat from the room.]
Sorry, Styx. Just the exterminator. Nice to see you! I've always liked rats... [Lentilla takes a few crackers from an undisclosed recess in her clothing, and places them on the floor for Styx.]
