Message-ID: Date: Tue, 11 May 1993 19:57:06 GMT References: <1993May11.143139.5961@rhrk.uni-kl.de> ADMIN: Due to a previous agreement, I'm going to pickup and drag along Jorma's character for a while. If he seems a little insular, that's 'cause he's not my character. This is also Bakr's jumping in point. Barring somebody coming up with a better name, I want to call this the NTY thread. Send me mail if you have a better idea. In our last episode Palandun said: "Dangit, I need an assistant!" Or words to that affect. What was not reported was that he said "Ooops, 'scuse me," immediately thereafter. Palandun stepped around the hooded child and continued with his conversation. "You wouldn't mind -'scuse me again- helping me out would you?" "I would indeed mind!" Ja'nis said, "If you expect me to go back there ever again your noggin needs fixing." Palandun assumed that was a no. "I'll do it." It took the two of them a second or so to realize that the voice came from the child. "I can't pay you much." Palandun said. "Work is long and disgusting with no glory whatsoever." The child just shrugged. "You're hired. What's your name?" "Jorma G- just Jorma. Are you a Bismanian?" "Matter of fact I am." "Me too." "Really, cool. I came from It-Atta, up on mount tall on the big island. where are you from?" Jorma wouldn't specify, though. Ja'nis was hungry, and suggested the three of them retire to the inn for food. Palandun agreed, on the condition that he didn't have to eat Grakma. The three of them sat next to a lizardman, who (and how he did this Palandun couldn't figure out) suddenly paled for no apparent reason. "So, what do you know about rats?" Palandun asked Jorma, a little louder than he would have planned to.
