Admin: There is a higher power trying to stop me posting thiss but
I'll try to get through before the machine crashes on me !

William absorbed in his work, barely notices the peoplle around him,
or that he has talked to them. He works feverishly on the clay.

Lancos:"Say just what is it your making thhere?"

"I would have thought _that_ was obvious", William answers, but not
so that he'd notice. In fact he seems totally unconcerned that he is
talking to someone.

A shape appears breifly in the clay, then disappears almost immediately
as the clay turns, then reappears again, punctuated by an enitrely

audible gassp from Alfvaen. Then the form becomes more apparent, as that
of a woman. 

Then suddenly it isn't anymore, it turns into a young girl, then another
twist and wings, and scales suddenly appear. A dragon takes shape. Another
twist and the woman appears again. Alfvaen practically faints, the Rat
giggles slightly. Suddenly the dragon appears again, this time the gasp
is heard from Lancos.

The activity of the artist reaches a feverish pitch as the forms 
coalesce, changing everytime he moves the piece in his hand. His hands
move at a ridiculous pace, the silence getting louder and louder . . .

and louder . . . crash.

The sculpture clatters to the table, as William looks mildly suprised,
then slumps sideways off his chair.

Admin: Insert Lancos' and Alfvaen's conversation here. Damnit I shoul
have replied to the post. Ho Hum.

After a short whhile, though, he revives. Looking very groggy and 
disoriented, but a lot more sober.

Admin: Hopefully this won't confuse too many people too much. Sorry it's
so late but first the server died, then I couldn't retreive the post and 
then, well somebody "talked" me in the middle of rewriting it. PLease,
please god let this one get through. (:)

I can't think of anything witty enough that people 
would really want to see it time after time after . .
