Witnesslist Category: Inadmissible in Court Disclaimer: All hail King George. Yeah, you in the back, too. The song 'Good Ship Venus' is a sick little ditty I picked up in the SCA. I'm really very sorry about this. Honest. Thanks: To Rauhnee, who started it and keeps on with it. To kriski, who keeps a better timetable than I EVER will. To Mre, for insisting that I carry on. To Terri, who never, ever backs down. To Fox, Beta Goddess of the New Millenium and Listmum Supreme To Layna, my personal SP (with assistance) and MSTing feedbacker extrordanaire. Thanks for the info on the puffer fish. Yuck, but thanks. To Evileverlordpepe, for the S'mores thing. Notes from your Author. So, if you've read the story so far, you ought have all the information you need to read this one. Honest. I dredge up very few obscure plot points, spend a very minimal amount of time on setting up future events and have finally, at long last, gotten around to the point in time when we just get to watch The Boyz do stuff. I, for one, am happy about this. This story is broken up into five sections. Again. If you've received the first section or this note, the whole thing is up at the ChezBunny web site and ready for you to read. One big story, five little chunks, just like last time. Only this time I made the chunking process contribute to the story itself. I think. There are now two (count 'em, TWO!) discussion lists for this series. I swear, I don't know what you guys find so darn interesting about all this, but I'm just utterly chuffed about the whole thing and thought I'd just go ahead and send an invitation to the whole world to come and play along. KCFC@Egroups.com is the home office of the Kourt Crowe Fan Club. If you dig that shapeshiftin' dude, please do come hang out. There are even some Bonus Tracks available to members, and Membership Specials going on at random intervals. And thanks to you guys who started this. I'm just honored and totally chuffed. But I'm NOT a member. The second list is ChezBunny@egroups.com. It is what it looks like. A discussion list for the ChezBunny writers' stories. That's me, mostly, but it also brings in Rauhnee Ranshanka, MrsHamill and Sleeps With Coyotes because those wonderful and talented ladies were so kind as to help me do what I could not have done on my own. Due to certain past incidents, I think it might be time to take the discussions of these stories and the characters within to some place quiet with a hot tub. Finally, a private message via public forum: Whoever put that snarky remark up at the Favorite Male Character list, please write to me and let's talk about this as adults. Referance Desk Actually, this is a fairly straightforward story, near as I can tell. Here are some past nuggets that might help with this story. ***************** Obi-Wan was last seen on the starship Nathaniel Bereak. The pilot of this ship owns two ferrets. ***************** Qui-Gon gave Obi-Wan a library. Obi-Wan is in the process of translating the books. ***************** Obi-Wan had a tragic love affair with Knight Obream Trydal **************** Qui-Gon plays the vyol, an instrument not entirely unlike a violin, except it exists long ago and in a galaxy far away. He also likes rock and roll. (series trend) *************** The Council ordered Obi-Wan to let his hair grow. No explanation was given, but they seem to be up to something. ************** Obi-Wan had a councilor named Knight Elan who guided his studies AFTER Torlamin was sent away but BEFORE Qui-Gon took him as Padawan. ************** Obi-Wan received a fighting staff, a 'Kho-la-bo,' on loan from the Kurasian Senator. The Kurasians were those slaves our Boys saved in 'Tenet Nosce,' who later gave Obi-Wan a tattoo in 'Rites of Passage' and assisted in his training for the events that took place in 'Duets and Duality.' He is honor bound to return it to them, now that he's done with it. ************** Darth Maul isn't as dead as advertised, plus he seems to have an agenda. ************** All Senior Padawans are honor bound to feed candy to the Initiates. This is an act of civil disobedience that is tacitly supported by the Jedi Masters. (Allocating Resources) *************** Kato Giavanni is a Jedi Field Operative with some sort of connection to the covert Group. *************** Okay, that should be it. On with the story...
