21 It is customary, I believe, to say something when one finds oneself
22 at the TOP! I can say only that the Innkeeper and Patrons of this
23 Inn are to be congratulated for what they have offered to one who enters
24 from what is essentially a different world....
25 Also I should say that for the first time in many weeks I am having
26 a line noise problem and have been cut off twice! I am not sure just
27 what this entry is going to look like.

41 @( "Milchar!", Dimat exclaimed. "I had begun to worry. You had taken so long
42 to respond, I wasn't sure what to think. A terrible conflict is raging."
43 Milchar, still stunned to see that his homeland, at least this part of it,
44 was no longer the beautiful park-like place he had known, paused a long time
45 before he answered.
46 "Dimat," Milchar began slowly, "Who has done such a thing?
47 How were we defended? What force could have torn Celene at it's very
48 roots?"
49 "Do you remember the Spellbinders of Trill?"
50 Thinking a moment, Milchar remembered the odd group of illusionists that
51 entralled audiences with there clever cantrips and deceptions. "Yes, master."
52 "And do you remember what they wrought here in Celene, when you last
53 came here?"
54 "They had put on a grand show for the townspeople. I still remember the
55 clarity of their work."
56 "Good, your memory is as sharp as ever. The Spellbinders have done
57 something that no one ever supposed they would succeed at. They've crossed
58 that boundary between illusion and reality. Some of their figures are
59 now of true flesh and blood. And now, my questing pupil, they wish to
60 possess all that they can of Celene."
61 "Do you mean that some of this waste about us is false? Illusion? How
62 much is not?"
63 "Only a True Seeing can tell for sure. I called you to aid me to
64 cleanse our land of their danger."
65 A sudden blast rocked the ground. "Cover!", Dimat yelled as he dived
66 behind a nearby boulder.
67 Outlines of gruesome creatures lined the mist about Dimat and Milchar,
68 augumenting their imaginations of the shapes of the beasts.
69 Milchar wished desparately for more of his equipment in his tower.
70 After a few moments, Milchar decided that the stars were not in the right
71 alignment for wishing, and gave it up.
72 (Well, at least this time the lines are complete. I wonder what causes
73 those two characters at the beginning of the file?)

85 Early on, a disk seems a lot different than one that has filled up. Right
86 now it seems pregant with innumerable possibilities, later -- around half way--
87 it seems more mature and its personality established. Somewhere around line

98 As you can probably tell, there is enormous problems with the phone line
99 right now, if you managed to get thru, congradulations, you are truly
100 determined. But please, if you are having problems, noisy line, getting
101 dumpped, ect. as seems to be the case with everyone right now, CALL THE
102 PHONE COMPANY! Tell them what you are experiencing. The number to call
103 is 470-xxxx tell them you are having problems when you call 230-xxxx,
104 and describe them. I have been calling them everyday, but they have been
105 a bit lacidazial about it. So, on the squeaky wheel theory, CALL THEM!
106 If you call and all you get is a busy signal, be patient, the problem
107 is a parial short some place that comes and goes. Sometimes it locks
108 up for several hours, other times it just shorts out long enough to
109 dump you off line. So keep trying, and please, REPORT IT TO THE PHONE CO.
110 when it happens! It isn't going to get better until they get off their
111 duffs and decide that their really is something wrong. SO CALL!
112 Thank you.
113 ************************** CISTOP MIKEY ******************************
114 P.S. It doesn't hurt to call more then once. Like I said, I've been
115 calling once a day. If they get enough calls maybe they'll decide
116 to do something.

119 Farley : I can still fill you in on everything that has transpired, even if
120 you tried to call twice yesterday, and missed me both times. I was busy
121 turning green yesterday, after the PC&S meeting. You missed meeting a very
122 rare-in-appearing person, a person that has an interesting personality. But
123 not to worry, I am sure you and the person in question will meet up very
124 soon.
125 Piper : Respond on La Nerd? AOK.
126 Voyeur : Monday I will check in and get as much documentation as possible.
127 Since your friend is in town for awhile, we can probably meet once more
128 before he leaves. The house was awfully quite last night. Did you notice
129 it too?
130 Kosta : We discussed the possibility of a new direction for the current

142 THOR was getting irritated at the phantom at the INN. Five times he had
143 had his chair pulled out from beneath him and it was becoming unnerving.
144 THOR's patience was stretched to its breaking point and he wanted to place
145 his hands on the phantoms neck just
146 long enough to feel the bones become mush in his fingers.
147 too much, even as he thought it the phantom had the nerve to do it AGAIN.
148 I will leave the INN and come back when this monster has no more victims to
149 prey upon and tires with the boredom.
150 He will leave to do his dirty work in orhter establishments when he has
151 finished searching for other souls to corrupt.

187 There are definite advantages to working with 'primitive' equipment. My modem
188 won't let go of the line until I physically flip a switch on the modem itself
189 (or tell the computer to tell the modem to go off-line, but I'm not using a
190 terminal program that will do that right now). Makes keeping on-line a lot
191 easier, let me tell you....

232 Big. Large. Magnificently colossal. It stood there, towering over my
233 head, like a monolith from the past. I reached out to touch it. Hard as a rock.
234 Smooth, like no rock is ever smooth. Smoother than the finest metal, far
235 reaching over gold and platinum. I looked up. It must have been over
236 two-hundred feet taller than I, carved with designs so foreshortened by
237 perspective that I could only see clearly for about ten feet up. The designs
238 resembled heiroglyphs, etched deeply, each filling about a square foot. In rows
239 across the whole face. It was basically a rectangular prism, I thought, and it
240 had these designs on all four sides. I wandered around the sides. Aha, I
241 thought, this one has been, well, corroded. How else could it have been
242 green? Unless copper veins... The symbol was sort of of a man holding a star.
243 However, something wasn't right about it, something I could not put my finger
244 on. I looked at the next heiroglyph in the row. Funny, I thought, there is
245 just a blank space. Then the next hieroglyph showed the same man, surrounded in
246 a, well, cloud of fog. Then the next one, and he stood, and the terrain was
247 somehow different. I followed it across to the next face, for two more
248 hieroglyphs this, well, man walked. And walked. Then, and this was strange,
249 he found a flower. It looked like a flower, anyway. In the next hieroglyphs
250 he picked it, smelled it, and died. Or at least it looked like he died.
251 He lay down on the ground with his arms spread wide going blah. This was
252 strange, the row ended there. I went back to the first face. Another
253 incongruiity. There were none on the row between the green one. And it
254 was in the middle of the row. I looked on the other two faces, in the same
255 row, and there was nothing but the usual gibberish, gibberish to me anyway.
256 I went back to the green hieroglyph. I had looked the whole thing over
257 carefully. What the heck. I touched the green hieroglyph. And vanished.

Memories long suppressed tore at Arthur's mind as he sat next to a
279
large oak tree in his newly formed body. The return to this form and
280
the renewed association with time allowed him to recall memories in an
281
orderly fashion, and the nostalgia proceeded in a chronological
282
order.
283
For all the joyous romps he had had as a lad, Arthur's life truly
284
began on that day he shattered the legendary stone. The crack of the
285
stone had rent the very fabric of history, much as Alexander had the
286
Gorgon knot. The figure that approached Arthur as he sat
287
contemplating his future existence stood for nearly a quarter of an
288
hour before Arthur looked up. The sight of someone else witnessing
289
his horrible deed gave Arthur quite a start, and the sword bit into
290
his thumb.
291
"OUCH!"
292
"Elegant, but very crude and somewhat clumsy," the voice was tired,
293
but familiar.
294
"But it's a nice sword, and I didn't mean to, I just...I...I just
295
slipped...." Arthur's voice trailed off in panic, muffled by his
296
bleeding thumb.
297
Merlin shook his head. "Lying won't help you now. You meant to,
298
you didn't slip and no one ever said the stone could not be broken in
299
the process."
300
"But I...what if...how can..."
301
"Sputtering ill befits the king of the Bretons, boy!" Merlin's
302
voice shook the forest, or so it seemed. "Look boy, you got it out
303
and that's that. You're going to be king whether you like it or not,
304
so stop bellyaching and help me avoid your first war. If anyone else
305
sees this, they'll think just as you did and use you for tomorrow's
306
practice dummy. Here, help me with this," and a bewildered Arthur
307
moved toward the old man.
308
They worked frighteningly fast, knowing that at any moment a
309
reveler might wander away from the feast and catch them in the act.
310
They hurriedly dug a small depression into which they positioned the
311
two halves of the stone, and piled dirt up the sides to maintain its
312
place. With the stone in position, they carefully replaced the sword
313
so as to appear as it had before. Arthur watched curiously as Merlin
314
prepared a tiny pouch and lit a small candle. As darkness approached,
315
there they waited until a small crowd of feastgoers appeared.
316
When the merrymakers approached, Arthur grasped the sword with both
317
of his hands, and, on cue from Merlin began to fake straining and
318
pulling. The revellers laughed loudly and merrily at what they
319
thought was another fool out to impress his girlfriend. At another
320
cue from Merlin, though, Arthur gave the sword a turn and hoisted it
321
free of the stone. At the same instance, there erupted a mighty flash
322
and a loud BANG! from the stone, which again toppled in pieces. The
323
chuckling group was now speechless, as all color drained from their
324
faces. Arthur, though paralyzed with fear at the proceedings, saw
325
then a sight he would remember for all time: Merlin, hands clasped
326
tightly over his own mouth, turning bright red, suppressing a laugh!

333 To: All UNDERGROUND operatives
334 From: J.K. O'Hara, DSNAC, UNDERGROUND
335 Subj: A little tidbit to keep you going
336 Since morale within our ranks has been fairly low these past few days, here's
337 a little story to cheer you up:
338
339 Captain Brommel, it was well known, was a sadist. His intense
340 pleasure at inflicting pain could not be mistaken; his favorite place in
341 the entire prison was the torture chamber, right next to the rack.
342 Still, he was excellent at his job, and his superiors decided years ago to
343 just look the other way when he indulged himself.
344 One day, however, a prison riot broke out. It seems that one of the
345 prisoners, taken just the day before, had been beaten almost beyond
346 recognition during an interrogation. The other prisoners, of course, were
347 outraged. They suddenly charged the guards during calisthenics, and in
348 the ensuing battle, seized several firearms and shot every single guard
349 they could find. A few guards escaped to tell their Captain what
350 had happened. Of course, they reported everything in the long and
351 drawn out manner of the military, ignoring not the slightest detail.
352 Finally, Brommel called for support to put down the uprising, but
353 needed one last bit of information.
354
355 so the inquisitive sadist said, "Where's the grief?"
356 (imagine diabolical laughter from John K. O'Hara)

417 May you be shot on sight for your lack of taste in proverbs.
418 If you quit now, you may save yourself much pain later. Remember, a stich
419 in time saves nine.

429 Some may think that to feel is to reach out your hand and let your
430 fingertips contact the person or thing that you want to touch.
431 But to actually touch something or some one, you must reach out with
432 feelings not found in the tips of ones fingers. For that touch is soon
433 forgotten by the both parties involved.
434 To feel and be felt, one must reach out with ones soul and if contact is made
435 neither party shall ever forget the
436 moment of tangency.

438 kathyd:saw your words, glad to have you back at TANIS. My tankard is full.

462 Gee, not too much to work with. All uppercase, with imaginary line noise.
463 But I have a few ideas. By the way, your sentence structure sucks, according
464 to the person I had translate that. Oh, your not going to tell me again? I
465 am so happy for you!! Come on EW, I expected better of you.

469 EW EW EW EW!!!! IS THAT ALL YOU CAN SAY? BY THE WAY THAT WAS NOT LINE NOISE.
470 THE ACCENT AND THE ~(I FORGOT WHAT IT IS CALLED) CANNOT BE PUT ATOP OF THE
471 APPROPRIATE LETTERS SO I JUST PUT THEM AFTER. WHO TRANSLATED THIS? YOU?
472 WHY NOT YOU ARE SUPER STUD!! IF YOU CAN BE 6'3" AND GOD WHO KNOWS HOW HEAVY
473 WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND SPANISH AS WELL. ALSO THANK YOU FOR GETTING RIGHT
474 DOWN TO THE POINT IN YOUR ABOVE MESSAGE. MOST OF THE MESSAGES YOU WRITE TO ME
475 BEAT AROUND THE BUSH WITH ASSANINE COMMENTS. MY PERSPECTIVE OF YOU IS WIDENING
476 TO NEW HORIZONS. MABEY SOME DAY WE CAN BURRY THE OLE HATCHET AND TALK IN
477 CIVILIZED TOUNGE. COME ON NOW WHAT IS THIS "I expected better of you" CRAPOLA?
478 AT LEAT I TRIED TO AD A LITTLE VARIETY BY INTRODUCING A FORIEGN LANGUAGE. I
479 KNOW IT HAS BEEN USED BEFORE BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS A NICE THOUGHT. I DO AGREE
480 MY SENTECE STRUCTURE LEAVES SOME TO BE DESIRED. IN MY CLASS THE MAIN FUNCTION
481 THIS YEAR IS TO CONCENTRATE ON LISTENING AND SPEAKING. NOT AS MUCH WRITING
482 IS INVOLVED BUT I GET A CHANCE TO TRANSLATE A LOT. IF YOU DO NOW SPANISH I
483 WOULD APPRECIATE THE INCREASED VOCABULARY.
484 TIENE UNA DIA ALEGRE
