You page, "About to start. :)"" to Rolokoda. Stash laughs a bit more and fuzzles Jenka. Barchita greets Grey warmly Rafeki checks his watch, getting very claustrophobic. You page, "About to start. :)" to Rigel. Croc hugs Grey. Rafeki trills, "i didn't think TM had this many furries." Cyberskunk waves to Grey. Tigerwolf hugs Grey warmly. "Hiya!"

Grey hugs Tigerwolf "Hi" FuzzyWolf says, "definately, crowded, definately... Have to watch Judge Whoppner definately, have to watch." Barchita whispers, "Think it is time?" to you.

"Log started..."" to Barchita. Cyberskunk says, "Hi, Rigel." You whisper, "Couple more on the way.. but shold be quick." to Barchita. Tigerwolf waves and hugs Rigel! Vixy Snugs Grey warmly and fondly fuzzles his ears! Barchita takes a deep breath and stands up "Okay, welcome to Shared History night; for an idea of what the format is, please >look shared<..." fEk curls up and settles down, and does his usual mostly-idle thing.. :> Name On Line Idle Have you hugged a wolf morph today?

Stash sits down too. :) Barchita smiles "I'll be the first to say this is my first attempt at anything like this, so..." Fishing Lodge(#2421RL) You stand in the central room of a simple yet comfortable lodge. A large stone fireplace fills most of the north wall; currently there is a small fire burning there. Spread out around this room are several wooden tables and benches which offer seating for any furry folk who might wish to sit and contemplate their surroundings. The stone floor of the room looks well worn yet still comfortable enough for quadripeds to lie upon. Two doors, one to the east and one to the west, open onto bunkrooms in which furries may sleep or talk in private. In the north wall, just to the side of the mantle, a single wooden door opens onto the main Fishing camp clearing. To the south a pair of glass paned doors open out onto a covered veranda where you can see several chairs placed for visitors to sit and talk. The atmosphere here is warm and comfortable, perfect for sitting around and talking or simply relaxing.

Rigel hiyas to Cybers and snugs Tigerwolf hiya... Barchita looks around "If you all would, please tell me who is telling tales and who is listening, so I can get some sort of order set up right qui Tigerwolf sits on a bench with his notepad. Grey raises his hand Barchita wanders into the western bunk room Somewhere on the muck, Forail has connected. Cyberskunk says, "I can say how I got hired by a detective agency, but nothing about my home world or something. " Jenka Is kinda idilish as he gets him self in order Barchita wanders in from the western bunk room Stash is gonna listen! fEk listens, for now. Croc is just hear to listen, too. FuzzyWolf says, "Wha? History of the world? I like the last part, the Jews in Space part." GrowlTiger arrives via Matatu... Rigel listens until he is free enough to talk. Cyberskunk waves to GrowlTiger. Jenka whispers, "Jenka hugs you!" to you. Rafeki is telling a bit, not the whole thing. FuzzyWolf Waves hi. Barchita waits and listens... Stash waves to GT Grey says, "I can give you some background on myself, even though this wolf enjoys the sound of his voice far more than he should :)" Forail arrives via Matatu... Forail bows anna wavies! :) FuzzyWolf waves hi. Rafeki pounehugs Forail. A walrus shlorphs in, sits down, and glares at Vixy. Vixy Spies GrowlTiger and quirks her snout! You page, "You bet. :)" to Forail. Cyberskunk waves to Forail. GrowlTiger waves at the warm bunch assembled here, smiles, and takes a seat beside Vixy and Croc. Forail says, "Hiya Cyber!! Long time no see! :)" Grey waves to Forail Barchita hmmms "Okay, sop far we have Grey and Raf...anyone else telling a tale?" Tigerwolf raises his hand. "I can give an intro, but my story's rather long. It could do a night of it's own. :)" Stash giggles Vixy bows deeply in front of Growltiger. "Oh Tiger from high you have descended to mingle with us... unworthy, commoners." Forail says, "Same here.. :)" Rafeki is in the same situation as TW. Fre'ta says, "Go for it!" Grey says, "How about the Reader's Digest version :)" Jenka nods "I have a story to tell,,,BUT furst...I have to get me in order,., Fre'ta has quite a background himself. Rigel wants the Dr. Seuss version. Forail says, "The COndensed, Abridged, Censored and Adjusted version?? ;)" Rafeki quotes Morman Desmund,"I'll not have it butchered!" Fre'ta shows Rigel a book with colorful exadurated pictures in it. Barchita nods "Okay then, to start, we'll go Grey, TW, Raf, and Forail; then Jenka..." Rafeki trills, "Norma, I mean, but I know the allusion is lost to you all anyways. . ." Rigel oohs, pictures! GrowlTiger baps Vixy playfully, "You be good." Tigerwolf hmms at Forail. "In that case, I got here.. the end. :)" Grey gets it. Forail snickers... GrowlTiger looks up anxiously at Grey Grey says, "Any place I'm supposed to stand?" Stash grins Rafeki trills, "Cool Grey. . .did you like Glen or Patti?" Forail says, "I jhave a text file written of my life, if anyfur is interested..." You whisper, "Tigerwolf pats the spot beside him on the bench." to Kamots. Barchita sits down "Okay...this will be fairly free flowing...feel free to ask questions, whatever...but please stay IC, if you would..." Rafeki thinks we should get started. FuzzyWolf drops Kawasaki 1990 ZX-6D. Barchita looks at Grey "And the floor is now yours..." Grey l Vixy snarls at GrowlTiger. "I'll give you good you exclusionist!"

FuzzyWolf Tigerwolf male Bengal tiger / Black wolf 'morph Rafeki male BM coon :) Fre'ta male Non-Morphic Flying Bengel Tiger Grey says, "Where to start?" You see a tall (6'5") powerfully built bipedal wolf with well developed arms and digigrade legs. His fur is light grey, darkenning along the top of his head, continuing down his broad back and along the top of his tail, as well as along the outsides of his muscular arms and legs. The tips of his ears and tail are black. He looks at you with steel grey eyes. His bearing is confident and hints at an aristocratic upbringing. He may seem reserved, even aloof with strangers, but is willing to show a playful side among those he considers friends. He is wearing a dark blue tabard with a copper insignia on the collar. A matching belt has a large copper buckle. A dark blue sash goes from his right shoulder to his left hip, and is decorated with several gold insignia It attaches to a scabbard on his left hip. An energy pistol rests on his right hip. Both forearms have dark blue wristbands with gold and copper buttons Black boots cover his feet. Carrying: sword [(#2367) blaster pistol [(#2368) Forail curls up inna cute, fuzzy ball, with his head on his paws, watching intently... Barchita sits and listens... Fre'ta points Grey to the beginning. Forail is five feet tall, with glistening black fur. From a distance, he looks like he is wearing a body tight diving suit. When you look into his eyes, you could easily become lost in the sea of baby blue contained within. Forail is wearing a silver circular pendant around around his neck. Around his waist he is wearing a belt that looks like it is compartementalized. Ouside of this, Forail is a gorgeous black pooch. Carrying: Picture(#2687) Starfleet Insignia(#1346J) Red Rose(#1354J) As you look over this bengal tiger of medium build, you can instantly see the two sides of his personality. His stance, build, and deep gaze reflect his serious nature, always willing to work a little harder for those causes that he believes in, often running from place to place to get something done. But they can't hide GrowlTiger's playful nature; brightly patterned stripes and an often silly expression give him the look of a cat who has just woken from a nap in the sun. Growl's friends - both old and new - know him to be a creature that goes out of his way to help others, and they trust his ability to bring strength, a fresh outlook, and fun to any situtation. Growl is usually found not far from friends or his Indian Restaurant (near Bengal Lane on the map), and almost never without his bright red collar. [>> GrowlTiger knows you looked. <<] Carrying: Large Green Brush(#1357C) Spinner(#2412) Big Ball of Yarn(#354C) Large drum of Ghiradelli chocolate(#2346) ( Once upon a time... ) The first impression you get of this little ocelot is of her eyes: bright green and sparkling with a love of life. As you look further you notice a lithe body covered by a sleek spotted coat. She stands only four and a half feet tall on her digitigrade hind legs, but seems to eminate such a strong sense of energy that you instantly know that she is fully capable of taking care of anything that life might present her with. She is dressed in a simple sleeveless vest, buttoned over her firm midriff, and a pair of light cloth shorts, specially modified for her tail. Her only other adornments are a gold locket suspended around her neck on a single silver chain and a braided copper bracelet around her left wrist. As she feels you gaze upon her she looks up and smiles warmly, revealing her gleaming fangs, then returns to her introspective pondering, one hand lightly rubbing her slightly rounded tummy in an absent minded manner. For now she sits quietly, her black-ringed tail twitching as if to indicate a quiet energy which could surface at any time... [>> Barchita knows you looked. <<] Carrying: Gold Locket(#2840) Tempia's Scent(#2981) patch: Raf's cousin(#2930) [>> Rigel knows you looked. <<]Rigel is a felinoid or bipedal, tiger-like feline. He stands about five feet and eight inches and is clothed in his soft, dark, orange fur. Being a tiger, his fur is wrapped in black stripes that slide all over his form, f rom his feline muzzle down his defined chest and along his strong legs. His tail extends from his rump, swishing back and forth behind him in a curious manner. His ears are constantly swivelling around, listening and twitching at tintervals, the soft, d owny fur making them look a bit fuzzy. He moves with the grace all large felines possess, standing tall with his shaped muzzle and paw-like hands on a form of definite tiger-base, he looks more like the tiger than the humanoid. Even though his attention isn't on you, he turns his head as soon as you look at him, his deep, emerald eyes looking you over before he gives a small smile, his tailtip curling in a friendly manner. Carrying: small obelisk from Mars(#2574) ( Long, long ago... ) Grey says, "I was descended from a long lihe of wolf uplifts engineered to serve human masters." Jenka settles down STILL trying to get all the dust off.. Croc is a rather large, non-morphic alligator of Irish decent. At first glance, he appears not much different than any other gator. But upon closer inspection, the differences are more obvious. Croc's scales are a deep olive green and sparkle in the sun as if perpetually wet. His long tail is both powerful and surprisingly agile in its mobility. His eyes are as deep and blue as the sea. Some say that if you look closely into them, you can see his soul. Whatever the case, it is quickly apparent the Croc has a zest for life. He is oftentimes an enigma; both naive and cynical, witty and melancholy, playful and serious. On the surface, Croc appears to be a happy-go-lucky reptile, but there is another side hidden from view where memories of friends lost and hard times are never far from mind. Because of his struggles, Croc values his friends more than anything else in the world: food, warmth, or shelter. Croc would almost rather endure a night in a bitterly cold storm with another furry than curl into a comfy bed in front of a warm fire alone. Croc has a slight problem with his vision that causes him to misinterpret things sometimes. He is troubled by this and is the first to apologize when a mistake is made. [>> Croc knows you looked. <<] Carrying: Croquet(#2747XZ) Rafeki Plushie(#3045) 20-Gallon Electric Turbine-Driven Super Soaker Squirtgun(#2411) a bottle of Snapple(#1802) Croc's autograph book(#2472) Dry Ice Fog Machine(#2579) Speak and Spell(#2369) You see a large, 5'11 anthromorphic red fox vixen, well curved and generously endowed. Her fur is mostly tawny, with ivory white on her chin and underside and a wide russet stripe running down her back, from the nape of her neck to the tip of her ivory-splashed tail. She has bright, sparkling sea-mist green eyes and long, thick, lightly wavy, pink hair plus a cute pink button nose at the tip of her slender snout. Her forearms and lower legs are covered in a deeper crimson red fur. She waves her lush, full, supple, bushy tail around a lot its girth being as impressive as her generous breasts, dividing your attention between both as you try to discern her most outstanding features. (more: 'lookat vixy wearing' / 'lookat vixy comm' / 'lookat vixy blaster') [>> Vixy knows you looked. <<] Carrying: plas blaster(#2744) wrist comm/chrono(#2679) wearing lavender blouse and skirt(#3041) Silver Fox Tailbracelet(#2045DC) Box of bonz canine chews(#2823) pink, Hartz, double-strength flea collar for vixens with extra full hair/scruff(#2833) Sparkling, translucent, hot-pink Duncan butterfly Yo-Yo(#2377) [>> Kamots knows you looked. <<] Kamots Sawtooth is a six foot tall anthropomorphic Tundra wolf. Hailing as he does from the frozen north, his fairly muscular frame is covered with a rather dense coat of snow-white fur. His fur, which grows thickest ab out his head and neck, forms a 'mane' of sorts, which is currently spilling freely about his head and shoulders. Feeling your gaze upon him, Kamots turns to regard you with soulful, azure eyes...one of which gives you a friendly wink. You notice as he turns toward you that he has a notch missing from the side of his left ear, as well as a faint scar running down t he left side of his muzzle. Kamots is currently wearing a sleeveless, open-chested, hip-length tunic and a pair of loose-fiting breeches (which have an opening for his rather bushy tail). Both tunic and breeches were crafted from cloth the color of a cloudless sky, and match the h ue of Kamots' eyes. Around Kamots' neck is a thin golden chain, suspended from which is a tiny locket. The gilded, amber locket has been wrought in the shape of a small leaf, and you sense that it is of great sentimental value to Kamots... Carrying: icicle(#3004J) An about 6'1" male skunk. Most of his fur is immersed by a uniformly ashen grey coloration which follows the contours of his body, hinting at well-defined muscles. The white fur bathing his front extends over his stomach and chest to stop just below his e yes, covering his muzzle and the front of his throat. Twin white stripes fall between his broad shoulders and down his back until reaching the end of his arched and fluffy tail. A bright pink nose and brushed, light-gray head fur break this simple color s cheme. [>> The Black Furred Squirrel knows you looked. <<] Stash eyes you carefully as you look him over. He is a Black Squirrel standing a little over 5ft tall, with piercing dark purple eyes that gently probe into your inner being. Jet-black in color, his fur is thick, shiney, and long. As your eyes break contact with his and travel further down his body, you see that he wears no clothes as his fur is sufficient for protection and warmth. Gazing further down you see his rather well sized sheath poking out slightly from the thick fur around it. A sudden movement catches your eye, and you see his puffy tail twitching behind him, as it is a little taller than he, with a slight curl at its tip. Standing before you is a 5' 9" tall wolf. His fur is a bright day-glo orange. He gives you a friendly smile when he sees you looking at him. He is wearing a Roadcrafter II one piece suit. It looks basically like a bright red jump suit with grey balistic padding on the shoulders, fore-arms and elbows, and the shins and knees. It has a retro-reflective stripe across the back, on the calfs, a small stripe over the left breast pocket at a angle. He is wearing a pair of bright yellow Alpinestar GP pro racing boots. Tucked in at his waist is a pair of black leather gloves with a stylized fox face on it in retro-reflective and black (Dianese set racing gloves). He is also carrying the unmistakable mostly bright yellow Shoei X-9 Scott Russel replica helmet it has a mirrored Gold visor on it. His wearing a rust colored cap with a black lip that says, "FOX" on the back and "FOX, THINK FAST" on the front. Carrying: Portable Fire Hydrant with Attaching Hose(#2558) Slinky(#2593) Rafeki del Armes is an elegant bipedal raccoon. Soft auburn fur, obviouslt well groomed, covers his body, and black bands alternate the auburn down his arms and across his beautiful tail. Along his furred head, the fur is shaved in a backward mohawk, the fur along the shaved stripe is dyed a cinnamon color. Amber eyes gaze from under the black furred mask smatterred across his snout. His ears are perked, and he seems a clever and attentive coon. The procyon holds himself with dignity, but even a casual observer can see a hint of the wild energy that drives the coon. He wears a pale gold bracelet on his left wrist. Engraved wolves circle the bracelet in a never ending hunt, and you can see some writing on it, you may want to (lookat) it closer. He notices you watching him, and gives you friendly tail wave. Carrying: Silva(#1774XZ) Wolf Bracelet(#2145) patch: Barchita's cousin(#3034) Mirror(#2567) Kamots pads over and sits down next to TW to listen. Fre'ta is a non-morphic bengel tiger. He has a shiny red and black fur coat. (stripes, of course) His eyes are green, and look like they could pierce straight through you with their gaze, and yet, they give off a warm and friendly gaze, too. As you loo k over his fur, you notice something that looks like wings tucked snugly on his back. As he walks, you can see the lean tiger muscles ripple slightly in his legs, and his tail gracefully glides back and forth behind him. [>> FuzzyWolf, a Fuzzy! FuzzyWolf, looked at you! <<] Fre'ta jus sits and listens. Tigerwolf smiles to Kamots. Grey says, "This was long before my time, but there was a revolution, the humans were overthrown, which leads us to the present." Rafeki presses a button on his wrist, and Silva flickers into being. Silva heads off toward the park. Vixy shakes her head at Rafeki and snickers. Grey says, "I come from a regoin of space composed of many sempires both small and large. Some are human. Some are furries. Some are aliens. They are all mixtures of one kind or another." You whisper, "Tigerwolf nods. "Hurry back. :)"" to Barchita. Tigerwolf nods to Grey Grey says, "The area I come from is called the Domains. It is mostly populated by wolves, the Lupen, and foxes, the Vulpen." Silva arrives from some distance away. Rafeki turns a control on his wristcom, and Silva blinks out of existence. You say, "No kitties?" Somewhere on the muck, Niku'a has connected. Grey says, "The worlds are theoretically independent, but the space between the worlds is under the control of the Corsairs." Grey says, "There are small .umbers of almost any race in the Domains. The Shang Imperium is run by tigers." Timgee arrives via Matatu... Timgee slips in quietly and sits down. Grey says, "The Corsairs are descended from the remnants of the Imperial Navy. They were once one large fleet, but they have since broken up into smaller competeing fleets." Tigerwolf smiles. He hopes they are kind tigers. Barchita cocks her head and listens, intrigued by the idea of space travel... Grey says, "Any ship that passes through an area controlled by a fleet must pay tribute or face the consequences. Most Corsairs are lupen, but there are some Vulpen fleets." Grey says, "The Cor3airs do not bother much with the planets. They will protect those worlds willing to pay tribute, and will build bases there, but that is about it." Grey says, "Nevertheless, the Corsairs do enjoy some status in the Domains." You say, "Sorta like policemen?" Grey says, "In addition to the income gained from tribute, they also supplement their income from cargo seized from nonpaying ships, and from raids, both in other Corsairs territory, and in the neighbouring human territories." Jenka sighs and sits back Grey says, "I suppose they are somewhat like policemen. In some ways they were the closest thing the Domains had to a government." Tigerwolf nods. Grey nods Random arrives via Matatu... Random says, "'Lo all" Tigerwolf waves to Random and smiles. Vixy smiles and waves at Random! :> Stash waves - Hiya Random! FuzzyWolf waves hi. Jenka waves and HUGS Random! ( modnoR SGUH dna sevaw akneJ ) Rafeki thnks random should take a seat, and let Grey continue now :) Grey says, "I was born to a Corsair family, one of power and privilege. I did have a title, Lord Grey of Stormhaven. This was a small area of land on the planet Fenris owned bu my family" Rafeki perks his ears, and whispers "Fenris" with a meaningful look to Vixy. Random takes a seat an' listens Vixy swivels her ears in the direction of Rafeki's whisper and nods meaningfully to him. Barchita watches and listens to Grey... Grey says, "They were all killed in a raid by humans. I was only a pup, and I was the only survivor. I hated the humans for what they did, and I swore I would have revenge..." Grey pauses Grey says, "I believe our host mentioned something about a short break?" Tigerwolf nods slowly to Grey, his own feeling for humans showing in a slight curl of his muzzle and a soft growl. ( Pee break? ) Forail snickers anna spoofer... Croc tolerates humans... Barchita nods sadly "I am afraid with so many strories to be heard, it would be better to teell parts of each tale tonight... Grey looks at Barchita. Forail snickers atta spoofer too... Croc thinks not ALL of them are bad. Forail likes his player.. :) Barchita says, "To be continued depending on who wishes to at a later date...like next week :)" GrowlTiger nods at Barchita, thinking that would be a very good idea. Grey says, "All right, I'll let someone else take a turn." Barchita looks at Grey "Have you reached a stopping point for the evening?" Forail says, "If anyfur is interested... I have a copy of my story I could send to you..." Barchita nods "Thank you...Rafeki, I believe you are next; 10-15 minutes plaes..." Grey says, "I think this is a s good a place as any..." Vixy Hmphs at Growltiger... "So let it be said, so let it be written." Barchita nods "Very interesting..I look forward to hearing more of the tale." Grey sits down beside Vixy. Jenka sighs and brushes a few last specks of dust off of her hat and sighs.. Barchita motions to Rafeki totake the floor... Grey hugs Vixy. Tigerwolf says, "Work it up to present here, Forail. We may make a spot available in the library or museum for stories too." FuzzyWolf notices it isn't popcorn his been eating. Forail says, "Great! :)" Barchita looks at Rafeki... Rafeki is ready Tigerwolf looks at Jenka and cocks his head. Vixy pokes Rafeki... Rafeki thought TW was next. ( Tradewarz! ) Rafeki pads before the fire, and wants to make an OOC announcement. Jenka chucklesighs and shrugs looking embarased.. Random smiles. Barchita looks at Rafeki "Go ahead..." Rafeki trills, "Well, for those who read, you knwo I owe a lot to Boyet, just wanted to acknowledge him." Grey nods and smiles Rafeki trills, "My name is Rafeki Del Armes, born into the Del Clan, and the family Armes, 23 years ago on the world of Dawn. Before the Succession Wars, before the genetic purgings. Life on Dawn then was good then. Two species of raccoons inhabited the world, the kits, and the stripes. The stripes were bred for war, to police the public, controlled by the kits. They were also the artists of the world, learning the beauty of life from being so close to death. I am a stripe. Among the kits, certain raccoons were born with the ability dream the future, and these kits were groomed to lead their nations. They are known as Architects, Architects of Sleep. The builders of dreams. Through their dreams, they could predict floods, famine, war, but they couldn't predict their own fall." Forail licks FuzzyWolf's nose anna snickers... Rafeki trills, "My childhood was spent in the Rafded Province. My mother, and Jacala, my older brother lived in the Stripe colony. The colonies were not so bad, we were given free reign, and even our own government of sorts. When a young stripe reached the age of 16, he or she was sent to the Academy, to learn the arts, and to learn the art of war. Jacala left two years before me, and those two years were the hardest in my life. How I admired him, wanted to be just like him, make him proud. When my time came, I entered the academy--my performance tests indicated I had a talent for technopathy, that is, I can telepathically communicate with machines. My art was poetry." Rafeki trills, "So many thoughts whirled in my head, as I entered my dorm room. Foremost, was my room mate. I hope I would like him, and he me. His name was Tipper Del Rith, and we became very close our four years at the Academy. He was very popular, and had many friends, but always had time for me. I guess he was like a brother. Jacala was too busy to spend time with me then, and we grew distant--if not for Tipper, I would have been alone. We graduated, at the top of course--me in technopathy, Tipper in espionage. Wars were common in my world, and after graduating, we were assigned to my brothers regiment at Three Dogs River." Rafeki trills, "On the eve before the battle at Three Horse River, Tipper was sent in to scout the perimeter defense of our enemy. He did not return at the appointed time; my brother considered him lost. I volunteered to go look for him, but my request was denied. I went anyway, and after noticing my absence, Jacala came after me. Tipper's body was in a ditch when I came upon him, and at the time Jacala found me. He motioned for me to bring Tipper back. I heard a shot ring out, and Jacala fell down before me. Throwing Tipper over my shoulder, I ran back to our camp. The enemy stripes didn't even give chase. The damage was done. Without a commander, our squadron was pulled out by high command, and the battle was lost. " Tigerwolf hmms and puts his head on his paw with elbow on his leg, listening intently. GrowlTiger listens to Rafeki's rhythmic words with rapt interest. Barchita listens closely... Rafeki trills, "Tipper was put in prison as a war criminal, but I knew he was just a scapegoat, and I knew I would not abandon my friend. In my greatest feat of technopathy, I disabled the prison security systems, summoned the Spinship "Winter", and freed Tipper. Once on the ship, I blacked out. When I awoke, we were on the world of Delaka. Delaka is a horrid world, there are no plants left there, and oxygen has to be proccessed through terraforming cylinders. It rains all the time, a side effect to the oxygen plants. A dark, black sticky rain. The whole world is a city. I hated it. Tipper wanted to stay on that planet, and found a job as a corporate assassin, his stripe training making him ideal. When we separated, he promised to repay me. He ended up making a fortune on Delaka, and has never let me down when I needed help. After we separated, I returned to Dawn expecting harsh punishment, but in an effort to white-wash the incident, I was simply demoted to Citadel guard, and my duty was the protection of my A" Grey listens intently Rafeki trills, "of my. . ." Rafeki stumbles Barchita looks at Raf with concern... Forail stands and pads over to Raf, kneeling beside him... "Raf? You ok??" Rafeki trills, "My Leader. . Tabaqui. We would become lovers. And I sired a child that was to bring a civil war of unprecedented ferocity. . . but that is another chapter, for another night." Rafeki nods. . "Yes. . thank you. The loss of Tabaqui. . . it still weighs on my mind. . . Croc nods and hugs Raf. Forail nods anna sits down again... Rafeki walks off the stage, in a slight daze, his paw trailing over Vixy's shoulder. Rafeki sits silently behind the fox, lost in memory. Vixy pats Rafeki's paw as it glides over my shoulder. GrowlTiger scoots aside, making room for Rafeki Barchita looks at Rafeki "Well said, my cousin. We will hear more of this tale I hope." GrowlTiger looks at the coon with concern, but saying nothing. Tigerwolf nods sadly and Rafeki. "I'm sorry Raf..." Random sighs.... I am to, Raf. Rafeki nods, thankful for the support. Forail closes his eyes, and murmers a few words... He surrounds Raf in a light blue haze for a few seconds, comforting him... Sdocat arrives via Matatu... Rafeki smiles, and relaxes in the light of all his freinds. Tigerwolf waves to Sdocat. "Hi!" Barchita smiles softly at her cousin "I know the tale hurts to repeat, but thank you for telling it." Grey says, "You have my sympathies, Rafeki." Rafeki hopes to hear another story, to ease his mind. fEk has disconnected. Barchita looks to Tigerwolf "And by Rafeki's request, we shall..." Rafeki nods in thanks to Grey, and makes a whispered comment about talking to him alone later. Sdocat waves to Tigerwolf, Rafeki, Kamots... Barchita motions for Tigerwolf to take the floor... Grey nods Tigerwolf smiles. "Well, I'll have a bit of a go at it..." Barchita smiles and sits back to listen... Tigerwolf stands and pads over before the crowd. Stash smiles at Tigerwolf. Tigerwolf smiles to all around him. Tigerwolf says, "For many years, there were on my world only 2.. My brother and I.." Rafeki smiles, remebering the meeting with TW's brother. Tigerwolf points to Timgee seated in the back. GrowlTiger turns to look over at Timgee Timgee smiles up at his brother. Rafeki grins. Timgee says, "Tell 'em from the start, Stripes." Tigerwolf chuckles. "Ok, Pooch.. I will.. but I just wanted everyone here to understand how important they all are to us.." Timgee nods. You say, "Yes, they are.. our only family now." Random Smiles. Tigerwolf smiles and nods. "Very true.. But let me begin at the beginning.." Sdocat watches everything get all wavy.. Sdocat says, "flashback! }:)" Jenka laughs Random chuckles an' idly buffs his claws. Tigerwolf says, "My world was an ancient one. It became known as Altair 4 by the space traveling humans that arrived. It was named because it was the forth planet from our sun-star Altair." Stash grins Forail sighs and quietly bows himself out... Forail has left. Toren arrives via Matatu... Vixy shoots a dry stare towards Jenka. Tigerwolf says, "The original inhabitants of the world called themselves the Krell. They were a old, and very advanced race." Panzier arrives via Matatu... Fre'ta waves to Panzier. Rafeki hugs Panzier Rafeki hugs Toren Stash hugs Panzier Toren quietly hugs Rafeki back. Tigerwolf says, "In the eons of their evolution, they had created an heavenly dream world.. no disease, no wars, total harmony and peace. The had everything anyone could want." Tigerwolf says, "They were highly technological, and did wonderous things." Tigerwolf says, "One was to create me.. and others like me.. my brother, for one." Rafeki cocks his head. Rafeki trills, "Are you synthetic?" Rafeki trills, "or Genegineered?" Tigerwolf says, "We are products of advanced biological synthysis. My brother and I share the same human 'father'.. although, as you can see, our other 'parent's were of different species." Rafeki nods. Grey has disconnected. Jenka looks inquireingly at vixy Tigerwolf smiles. "But because we have at least one parent in common, we are telepathic between us.. sharing thoughts, and when we are close, our experinces meld. Vixy looks anoyed over at Jenka then returns her attention to TW. Barchita looks questioningly at Tigerwolf, listening for an explanation... Aethan arrives via Matatu... Aethan bows and sits dow nand shuts up. Rafeki quietly hugs Aethan tightly. Aethan hugs Rafeki gently. :) Tigerwolf says, "You may rarely see my brother, but be assured, he is not lonely. Since each of us fully experiences what the other does, it is not necessary for us to always be about. The other tends our home, a shuttlecraft that brought us here." GrowlTiger looks up at TW, "How did you find this place?" FuzzyWolf would like to know that one too. Rafeki perks his ears. Tigerwolf smiles to GrowlTiger. "Quite by accident, it seems.. a lucky one for a lot of reasons. That is another chapter. :)" Croc whispers, "Gotcha... ;)" to you. Barchita watches intently Rafeki grins, can't wait for the next night :) GrowlTiger smiles and aws a bit, "Waiting was never one of my strong points ;-)" Stash gazes at tigerwolf, ears cocked forward Tigerwolf says, "But rest assured, it was the best thing that could have happened. Death was close at hand for us both." Rafeki loves cliffhangers :) Tigerwolf smiles to Rafeki. Croc hugs Tigerwolf warmly. Croc then goes and hugs Timgee. Toren now sits down. Aethan smiles and blows a kiss to TigerWolf. Tigerwolf says, "I'd like to say OOC, that if you ever can, rent Forbidden Planet.. a 1956 movie which ends largely where our story begins. :)" Rafeki saw that! Cyberskunk says, "Oo me too" Barchita smiles "Me too" Random says, "With Leslie Neilsen?" Vixy grins. Tigerwolf nods. "That's the one. :)" Random knows it. Tigerwolf says, "The left out some detail though.. :)" Toren thinks he's seen it. Aethan says, "Like species. :)" Rafeki trills, "Oh, I never got to my OOC either. . if you want the anceint history of my world. . . read "The Architect of Sleep"" Mathue_Tax arrives via Matatu... Croc likes 'Pan 9 From Outer Space.." ;) Croc er, Plan.... Tigerwolf says, "It seems the movie focused on the later matter creation of the Krell.. not mentioning the biological creations that preceeded those efforts." Croc hugs Matt! Mathue_Tax waves to everyfurry. Sdocat growls, "sidetracked! What happens next TW?" Rafeki waves to Mat. Barchita smiles and listens... Tigerwolf smiles to Barchita. "I think my time slot's about up." Niku'a arrives via Matatu... Rafeki wonders who was next. Barchita smiles "I will likely be lynched for cutting at a point like this, but I am afraid time requires it..." Mathue_Tax walks over next to growltiger Barchita looks at Jenka "And you, I believe, are next!" Tigerwolf says, "I'd said the story is pretty long. I'll finish it soon. :)" Tigerwolf pads back to his seat. li'ir arrives via Matatu... FuzzyWolf waves hi. Rafeki pats TW's back, and grins at Timgee, knowing he feels it. Vixy whistles softly. Aethan leans over and hugs Tiger. "Good to see you, love. :)" Tigerwolf waves. "Hi, Li'ir." Barchita looks at Jenka... Jenka eeps and sighs slinking out on to the floor looking embarased "got quites a show to follow here,., Rafeki likes all these names with ' in them. Vixy awes at all the fuzzies here. Timgee grins at Rafeki. Cyberskunk waves to li'ir anf Niku'a. Panzier snugs you all good night Random sneaks over to snug a Vixy. Panzier says, "take care" Rafeki trills, "goodnight, Panzier." Aethan says, "Night, Panzier! :)" Rafeki trills, "Be well." Stash says, "goodnight Panzier!" Random says, "G'night" Fre'ta waves to Panzier. "Goodnight." Cyberskunk says, "Bye, Panzier." Mathue_Tax says, "Nite Panzier" Jenka says, "night Panzier" Barchita says, "Night Panzier!" GrowlTiger waves hello to li'ir, niku'a, and the other newcomers, and goognight to Panzier. Vixy smiles and Snugs the big tom Jag warmly. :> Panzier tailwaves and departs with a smile Panzier fades like a white ghost on a cool breeze Random isna a jag... Random says, "Or very big" li'ir waves Vixy rolls her eyes. Random acks Barchita looks at Jenka "Well, it is now your show..." Sdocat pads over to Kamots, "scuse me.. exuse me, padon me.. ohhh. hay! that's my foot yur steppin on!" Random nearly faints at his desc. Aethan looks over to Sdocat with surprise in his eyes. "Tank Girl?" Sdocat smiles! Tigerwolf announces that we have hit a new attendance record of 27, surpassing the previous 24. Rigel says, "Good taste." Niku'a mindspeaks, >>Jenka, is going to weave a story, yes?<< Mathue_Tax hurrahs! Mathue_Tax says, "Tes" Rafeki YEAH!!!!!!! Tigerwolf hugs Random and smiles reassuringly. Mathue_Tax says, "Yes that is" Stash says, "wow!" GrowlTiger smiles at Tigerwolf and cheers softly. Aethan "Way cool! Vixy grins an' HUGS TW. "Great!" :> Rafeki trills, "Way to go Barchita!" Barchita pulls out a whistle and blows it "Okay! Kindly yield to Jenka now... :)" Tigerwolf smiles to Barchita. Rafeki trills, "Barchita's ready for her close up :)" Stash grins at Random, but sees something special! Random Sighs... Rafeki covers his delicate ears. Jenka sighs and smiles "Where to begin.....Prolly at the begining....a VERY long time ago...a Young Officer in the EDF met a bloody and horable death an a campain that never started,,,,THEN strange things began to happen Tigerwolf chuckles. Rafeki grins at the mention of the EDF. Sdocat says, "is that anything like the FDF? }:/" Umiat has arrived. Sdocat jumps outta the crowd and waves to Umiat! Sdocat says, "over here!" Niku'a is trying to hear stories. Umiat says, "Evening, all :)"" Stash waves Sdocat hushesd up and listens. GrowlTiger looks up at Jenka Random snuggles up to Vixy an' listens Vixy wags her tail and smiles and waves at Umiat. :> Barchita listens to Jenka's tale... Rafeki looks at Jenka with new interest, as an idea slowly forms in his furry head. Tigerwolf waves to Umiat and turns back to Jenka. Jenka grins "SO having been abandioned in a closet for about a year I was reborn with a strange history,,,And here it goes,,,I've lived throught over thirty incarnations...in diferent times and places,,,amungst diferent races and peoples..almost always in some conflict or anouther,,,always lookinbg like myself to me,.,,but looking how I was "Expexted to look to those around me Mathue_Tax hmmms Barchita cocks her head to the side "Interesting..." Tigerwolf cocks his head at Jenka. Aethan scratches his chin, listening... Jenka smiles "have a Problem...I keep Dieing...usualy vilently....Only twice hace I dieed becous of old age,,,the last 10 or so incarnations a have all partaken in a place called earth,,,and I've been involved in her wars...tinker, Tailior, soldier, sailor.. fought frome one side of the world to the other,,,in the 100 years war, the crimeia, WWII, English civl war...and others....road with the old Guard at Waterloo./ Niku'a wonders why so many wars. Aethan says, "Earthfolk war a lot..." Niku'a hopes he never meets one. Mathue_Tax shudders Aethan shifts uncomfortably... Tigerwolf nods to Jenka and wows softly. Sdocat says, "They get better. they just needed a few hundred years." li'ir says, "heh..." Barchita listens closely... Random is from Earth.... Niku'a mindspeaks, >>Do you fight all the time, Random?<< Random says, "Hardly..." Random avoids fights... Bad form an' all. li'ir thinks it's more like 50% of the time... ;) Niku'a considers that. Jenka says, "Behind me I have left 12 wives,,,16 mistresses 56 children,,,not all by teh wives OR the mistresses and uncountable Grand kids Why the wars you ask? I don't know...Fighting is always a part of my excistance,,,some times I survive,,,mostly not...theres always somthing for me to acomplish,,,But I never know what till it's over...not every one can live in times of peace or happyness...somtimes all there is is anguish, pain and death,,,how ever we wish other wise.." Croc nods to Jenka, knowing she speaks the truth. Tigerwolf smiles up a Jenka, thinking kids would be nice somday. Rafeki thinks of his children. . . Jenka smiles and shrugs "Well theres the bones of the thing...I hope It was entertaining,,,And as for the kids....there wounderfull,,,But to me love is fleeting...it always dies,,,sooner or later,,,,And Now I'll pass the hat and the spotlight,, Vixy looks around at the puppy faces and the wagging tail, wondering what's going through the minds of everyone. Jenka toses her hat into the crowd and setles back down into her chair.. Barchita stands quietly, thinking about Jenka's tale... Aethan listens, pondering... Rafeki considers as well. . . Tigerwolf thinks Jenka has a lot more to tell as well. Sdocat thinks of Highlanders.. GrowlTiger takes the opportunity to slip out quietly, waving to the assembled furries. Niku'a mindspeaks, >>Some people only live what is in their hearts.<< Rafeki waves to GT Cyberskunk waves to GT Rafeki looks to Barchitas. Barchita hmmms "Well, I am going to need to leave, but I will pass the list on tho Rafeki...Cyberskunk is up next..." Tigerwolf waves. "Night GRowl! Rafeki takes the list, and nods. GrowlTiger has left. Cyberskunk waves to Barchita. Barchita smiles "I think that we will have a repeat of this in the next week or so, for all who are interested..." Rafeki trills, "BE well Cousin." Rafeki trills, "Lala samala :) {{hopes that is right}}" Cyberskunk stands up, and is reminded unfortunately of how he had to make an oral report for his neurobiology discussion section. Rafeki is very interested. Random chuckles Barchita says, "And the list stands at: Cyber, Random, Sdocat, Fre'ta, Toren, AS/Aetahn, and
