| ///Sent to me by PoLeila ///Gilligans Isle ;) You say to Morion[male dwarf] in xyllic: the Atlantis Today is publishing blank newspapers again, I'm afraid > You sigh. > > Demaris[female elf] gasps in astonishment! Demaris[female elf] says in xyllic: I hope Shakli is aware of that! You say in xyllic: he is > You say in xyllic: I bother him about it whenever I see him > Hmmmmm. > You say in xyllic: maybe he's on a journey > You say in xyllic: I just got back from a journey myself > You say in xyllic: Well . . . it wasn't supposed to be a journey. It was supposed to be a three hour ocean tour to kill time before the real journey. > Demaris[female elf] says in xyllic: And what happened? You say in xyllic: Well. . . the weather started getting rough > You say in xyllic: The tiny ship was tossed > You say in xyllic: And if not for the courage of a fearless crew, I fear it would be lost > <OOC>: Demaris[female elf]: was the name of this ship the Minnow by any chance? > <OOC>: hehehe :) > Demaris[female elf] gasps in astonishment! Demaris[female elf] says in xyllic: Sounds frightening! Demaris[female elf] says in xyllic: Obviously you lived, though... You nod seriously to Demaris[female elf]. > Demaris[female elf] says in xyllic: What did happen? You say in xyllic: The ship took ground on the shore of an uncharted desert isle > Demaris[female elf] says in xyllic: And then? You say in xyllic: Well, we were stuck there for about two months > You say in xyllic: but then we managed to get back > Demaris[female elf] says in xyllic: How did you manage to survive on a desert isle? > You say in xyllic: Well. . . the first mate and his skipper too, did their very best to make the others comfortable in that tropic island nest > You say in xyllic: They had survival training or something, I suppose > Demaris[female elf] nods to you. You say in xyllic: I doubt that we would have survived if not for them > Demaris[female elf] says in xyllic: How many others were there besides you? You say in xyllic: Five passengers set sail that day, for the three hour tour. Plus the two crew, of course. So including me, seven. > You say in xyllic: Six besides me. > Demaris[female elf] nods to you. Demaris[female elf] says in xyllic: What did the others do...I mean what kind of people were they? You say in xyllic: Well, the skipper and first mate of course > You say in xyllic: A millionaire, and his wife > Demaris[female elf] says in xyllic: You mean a rich merchant? Worth a million plats? You say in xyllic: a professor and Mary Ann > Demaris[female elf] gasps in astonishment! You nod wildly to Demaris[female elf]. > Demaris[female elf] says in xyllic: I've never known anyone that rich.... Demaris[female elf] says in xyllic: and what did this Mary Ann do? You say in xyllic: Well. . . Lana is close > You smile cutely. > Demaris[female elf] sighs. > You say in xyllic: for some reason they kept calling me a movie star > > Demaris[female elf] says in xyllic: A movie star? You confusedly ponder the situation. > You nod seriously. > Demaris[female elf] says in xyllic: What's a movie? You say in xyllic: apparently that's some sort of acting > You say in xyllic: and they thought I was an actress > Demaris[female elf] says in xyllic: I've never heard of it. Demaris[female elf] shakes her head. Demaris[female elf] says in xyllic: Strange...very strange... You say in xyllic: neither have I > You agree with Demaris[female elf]. > Demaris[female elf] says in xyllic: So what kind of people were this millionaire merchant and his wife? Hmmmmm. > You say in xyllic: A bit snobby, I'd say > You say in xyllic: They always had pockets full of plats > Demaris[female elf] says in xyllic: Did they act like all that had to do was give people plats and everything should go their way? You nod seriously. > Demaris[female elf] nods quietly. You say in xyllic: And they thought they were better and should have exclusive rights because of their plats > Demaris[female elf] says in xyllic: I met some people like that in Terge's homeland. That's where I've been the past few weeks. You say in xyllic: I wondered what would have happened if we were stuck there any longer and they ran out of coins > You grin mischievously. > You say in xyllic: oh? > Demaris[female elf] says in xyllic: Well, they say you can tell a person's character by the way they act under stress. You say in xyllic: I suppose so too > Demaris[female elf] says to you in xyllic: I've been helping Terge do some missionary work. You say in xyllic: oh? > You say in xyllic: I thought you were done with the missionary work? > Demaris[female elf] says in xyllic: That's an ongoing thing. Demaris[female elf] says in xyllic: We've just barely made a dent. You say in xyllic: oh.. . > Hmmmmm. > > Demaris[female elf] says in xyllic: It would be nice if maybe we could have a permanent mission out there...on that island. You say in xyllic: on the deserted island? > Demaris[female elf] smilingly shakes her head. > Demaris[female elf] says in xyllic: Oh, no..on Terge's homeland. It's a large island too. Demaris[female elf] says in xyllic: But it's not deserted. Not by a long shot. Hmmmmm. > You say in xyllic: This one wasn't large > |
