It is Alfvaen's turn. Okay. _Now_ I'm going to pass, because I can't thing of any reasonable way to fit any of my remaining cards into the plotline, and I don't feel like trying an unreasonable play and being denied. :-) - -- - --Alfvaen(Web page: http://www.terranet.ab.ca/~aaron/) Current Album--Rik Emmette:Ipso Facto Current Book--Colin MacInnes:Absolute Beginners This is the waterfall you will stand beneath, drinking. --billbill ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 29 Jun 1997 03:09:01 +0300 (EET DST) From: Uri Bruck Subject: Re: Acka: Alfvaen vs. /dev/joe On Thu, 26 Jun 1997, Joseph W.

DeVincentis" Subject: Acka: YORL play Stutim peeked into the room. It looked empty, so he pulled himself up through the window, and carefully climbed into the room without disturbing the bookshelves inside the room below the window. He pulled the ring out of a pocket inside his heavy coat, and again thought about keeping the ring instead of leaving such a valuable treasure behind. However, another thought passed through his mind when he looked back at the window which would most certainly also have to serve as his exit, so Stutim delivered the ring to the Princess's pillow as requested. "Rich people, and royalty especially, always have jewels hidden somewhere," Stutim thought. "Fake books are a very popular choice." Stutim wasn't much of a fan of reading, but being an experienced thief from a family of thieves, he knew what to look for. He scanned the two shelves with their total of about 30 books, and quickly found the title that didn't belong. "Surely the princess wouldn't have a chemistry book without any other technical books whatsoever, unless it was a hiding place." He opened the book and as expected, found that most of the pages had been cut in the middle, and inside was a necklace studded with dozens of diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and various other gems. Stutim put the necklace in his pocket, returned the book to the shelf, and prepared to leave. play: corruption ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 29 Jun 1997 00:42:10 -0400 (EDT) From: John Frederic Mc Coy Subject: Re: Acka: YORL play On Sat, 28 Jun 1997, Joseph W.
