AbisMal has arrived. A chant like that at the start of "Hunchback" can be heard. A monk in a blue frock enters the room. He lifts his head...to reveal that it is AbisMal. He's joined the Mystic Monks. AbisMal raises his hands in front of all of you and says, "Shade and sweet water be with you all, my friends!" MacBadger has arrived. A golf ball suddenly comes flying at your head followed by MacBadger. AbisMal ducks the golf ball again... MacBadger has to work on that aim... AbisMal peacefully says, "For Allah's sake, MacBadger...yell "FORE" before ya swing. :)" MacBadger grins. AbisMal peacefully asks, "Y'mean this is IT?" Darkwing quacks, "Possibly." Si has arrived. You hear the whisper of bare feet against the floor, and the soft swish of her skirt against her legs as she enters. MacBadger looks for 'it'. AbisMal peacefully says, "Good eveing,...Madam President..." AbisMal peacefully says, "EVENING, that is..." Si grrs and sits in the back. MacBadger waves to Si, The on-again, off-again. Si OOCly warns she's on raw telnet and can't hold a connection Darkwing quacks, "All right, let's get started." Darkwing quacks, "Elliot couldn't make it (due to OOC difficulties, I think), so we're finishing up MacBadger's interview from last week." MacBadger can't hold onto a woman OOCly...that's a problem!! Sir AbisMal the Stone-Hearted looks at Si for a few seconds - his hands away from his sword - and then nods slightly before turning his attention back to his business... Si smiles OOCly at MacB Darkwing quacks, "Page me your questions for MacB and I'll ask them." AbisMal peacefully says, "Feel fortunate you've HAD women to lose, MacB. :P" AbisMal peacefully asks, "So, MacB, I've heard you found your IC daughter, DisNut... how'd THAT happen?" MacBadger says, "Ummm....long story, and I think we have time, unfortunalty." MacBadger grins. Darkwing drums his fingers on AbisMal's head. Darkwing quacks, "PAGE the questions TO ME." Si did. AbisMal peacefully says, "Sorry...didn't think the queue had anything in it..." AbisMal peacefully says, "Answer Si's question first then..." Darkwing nods. Darkwing quacks, "Si wants to know why you betrayed her, and where her dots are." MacBadger says, "Okay...about 20 odd years ago, way back when I was stull studyin" Darkwing quacks, "I'm told that this will make sense to *you*, MB." MacBadger says, "I couldn't backspace over that....so ignore that..." AbisMal does not yell, but, rather, says a little harshly, "Oy! Leave it BE, Si! :P" AbisMal smirks... MacBadger says, "Ummm... let's just say she was losing and she made a not-so-nice comment about a IC friend of mine...." MacBadger asks, "About the dots? They're probably in the inverse-cone." Si grins Darkwing quacks, "Er, sure." Darkwing quacks, "Okay, you can answer Abis's question about DisNut now." MacBadger says, "You had to be there I gues..." MacBadger says, "Sure...." Si lags. Goody. Si curses her worthless server and BRBs Si has disconnected. MacBadger says, "About 20 or so odd years ago when I was studying accounting at the University of Edinburgh, I met met my wife, Patti. She was a fine lass, and beautiful too, but I didn't find out until later that she had a developing problem...." Si has connected. MacBadger continues '" She had these long periods of Amnesia where should would wander about, not knowing who she was or where she was. I didn't find this out until after we had Disnut....then on that fatefull day... Si has disconnected. MacBadger blabs some more "She was taking Disnut to the store, and she just never came back....neither of them. They were just GONE....vanished....I set about the next 4 years searching for either one of them..but they had dissapeard without a trace. Si has connected. AbisMal wipes away a tear... Si rubs her head Si cocks her head, "Did I miss it? Who is the mother?" MacBadger continues "I found out 3 year laters that the had classified her as 'deceased' and gave up all hope of even thinking that they were wrong. Then word came, not more than a month ago that Disnut had been found.... MacBadger explains "Somehow, her mother had taken her to some lost realitive of her's and had them take care of her...and she was passed on from realtive to realitve untill finally she appeared here....with me again. Patti...god rest her soul, I found out did in MacBadger says, "Die 5 years after she left...fell off a cliff. Sure, it sounds stupid, but she had no idea....her body was found in the ocean, where she had longed to be." AbisMal peacefully says, "My condolences, MacBadger..." MacBadger pulls out his Plaid Hankerchief and wipes away the terars. Si nods. Darkwing nods. MacBadger stops sobbing, re-folds the Hanky. "Thank you...it's been rough." MacBadger tries to crack a smile. "Anything else?" Si grins at MacB, "I have one..." Si exclaims, "Think you could fit in my suitcase? Then you can make it doen to WDW with us!" Darkwing grins. "Go ahead, it's not like you guys are tripping over yourselves to ask questions." Darkwing thinks he'll only bother moderating when there's 7+ people or so. MacBadger exclaims, "I'd love to....but it's homecoming weekend here...so there is NO way the Band will let me get away!" Si drats! :) *hug!* MacBadger is trying for the Co-Op Progrma next summer...so you can see me then. Jack joins you from the Guest Relations Office. Jack has arrived. Si nods to Jack. Jack nods back. Si cocks her head, "Doing what?" MacBadger doesn't know...."Food...Attracations...just about anything!" AbisMal peacefully says, "Er, if you'll excuse me...have other things to do. Thanks for answering my question MacB...twas the only one I had. :)" MacBadger says, "It's allright...I'm glad you got your answer." AbisMal peacefully says, "C ya..." AbisMal slowly walks out, chanting something that sound suspiciously like, "A, E, I, O, U and sometimes Y..." AbisMal has left. MacBadger asks, "Anybody....anybody?" Si grins and knows you already! :) MacBadger says, "Well...you SORTA know me...." Si laughs. "Ok, tell me what I *don't* know!" MacBadger exclaims, "Do we enough time? Okay!" Si grins MacBadger says, "I play Clarinet, I'm in Squad #9 with three Tenor Saxes....I live on top of the Hill at Ohio University in Bryan Hall the oldest Dorm on campus...." Si grins and listens Si cocks her head, "How old are you? Have brothers/sisters?" MacBadger says, "I'm a Soph-Zero-More Enviormental Health Major, I have a Soc and Chem Exam hursday." MacBadger says, "I am 20 years 1 month and a few days.....one older Sister." Si smiles and nods MacBadger says, "I prefer 1% milk...." Si ;laughs, "Even after... The Butter Cow?" MacBadger nods..."Even after the sacred Butter Cow" Si grins Darkwing grins. "Sassy's older than you, MB!" MacBadger says, "I run a lot....even Half-Marathons...um I own three Disney cels...." Si cocks her head, "Which 3?" MacBadger says, "I have no visable scars....I scored a 83 on the purity test." Si cocks her head, "Purity test???" MacBadger says, "A LK cast....a Simba and a Darkwing Prod." MacBadger asks, "You want a copy?" Si cocks her head, "Of the test? I don't think so. What is it?" MacBadger says, "It's a test to see 'How Pure you are'" Darkwing quacks, "It's a list of 100 (or 500, or 1500) questions of the form 'Have you ever done ___?'" BatBWebster has arrived. Si cocks her head, "In what way?" BatBWebster says, "hi..." Darkwing quacks, "The more questions you answer yes, the less pure you are." Si blinks and nods. MacBadger nods at DW. Si laughs MacBadger is a SAINT compared to most of my friends! =) MacBadger exclaims, "Hi BatBW!" Darkwing quacks, "I'd recommend finding a 500-question version... the original 100s forgot to take non-heterosexuals into account, so they would get abnormally high scores; and the 1500-question tests are IMO just ridiculous." MacBadger says, "I've got the 100...." BatBWebster exclaims, "hi MacBadger!" Rolly has arrived. You want a _joarrive, you got one. Duck has arrived. A deliveryperson pulls up, drops a package in your lap, and speeds off. You excitedly rip it open and find that someone has sent you...DUCK! Si is going to try the other server. Can't deal with raww Si has disconnected. Fleebo has arrived. You hear the Cat's theme from Peter and the Wolf. That can mean only one thing... Fleebo is playing her clarinet. BatBWebster runs over to Fleebo and *hugs* Fleebo a big hi, bon jour and hello!! Duck HUUUUUUUGS Fleebo! BatBWebster runs over to FDC Official Duck (All of Them) and *hugs* FDC Official Duck (All of Them) a big hi, bon jour and hello!! Fleebo hugs everyone! Hiya! Duck hugs BatBWebster. Just about two weeks to go till The Musical! MacBadger says, "SUrreee..everbody comes after I tell the tear-jerking-story....=)" Si has connected. Fleebo blinks... what have I missed, MacBadger? MacBadger says, "My Life story....=)" MacBadger says, "Everything you wanted to know and were afraid to ask....." Darkwing quacks, "The question of Life, the Universe and Everything. (But I'll tell you for 100 pennies)" Fleebo purrs, "Oh pish-tosh. It's not a tear-jerking story... I don't believe it could be. :)" MacBadger had Si and Abis crying... Rolly gets out the Kleenex Si hmms? "Oh..." she cries. Fleebo hmms... darn, I always miss the GTKs. MacBadger says, "You'll just have to order a log then...." Si exclaims, "Only $19.95!" Jack sighs and goes back to building a cliff to jump off. Si says, "Get a free potato slicer with it..." Si joins Jack * [ Flora has connected ] * MacBadger sighs at the phrase 'cliff jumping' Fleebo is left totally confuseled, as per usual. :) Si pushes Jack back, "Me, first!" (ICly) MacBadger asks, "Anybody have a question that they'd like to ask!? Pleae!?" Jack smiles and pushes Si off the cliff. Darkwing quacks, "That's *my* line, MB. :)" Darkwing fwaps Jack Skellington with whatever isn't handy. Si thanks Jack Si excuses herself Si has left. Jack asks, "did light the night get cancelled tonight?" Darkwing quacks, "Dunno, ask MV." Rolly needs to go to a V-Ball game Rolly barks, "Seya!" Rolly throws in another e Duck sings along with Quasimodo. RollyPuppyDog realizes it is time to go, so he passes out Mickey-shaped Ice Cream Bars to Fleebo, Duck, BatBWebster, Jack, MacBadger, and Darkwing, and gives them a HUG! Rolly heads over to the Guest Relations Office Rolly has left. Fleebo hugs Rolly! Bye! Fleebo missed. :/ Fleebo hmms at Rolly's ice cream goodbye. Is a Mickey-shaped bar Mickey-shaped or bar shaped? Darkwing quacks, "Yes." MacBadger says, "No." Duck quits scanning Usenet for news of the Olympics and WDW's 25th anniversary and returns. :) Darkwing quacks, "Anyone with another question for MB?" Fleebo grins, glad that her question has been thoroughly answered. MacBadger asks, "PLease!?" Duck says, "Mickey-shaped, in most cases, Fleebo." BatBWebster says, "ice-cream...yum yum" Fleebo has a question. MacBadger exclaims, "Thank goodness!" Fleebo mews, "MacBadger, why do you run? I just can't understand it." Fleebo hopes this hasn't been asked already. MacBadger laughs! "Umm...I do it my way of relaxing...clearing out the cobwebs in my heaad....it's very theraputic and I like to remain in decnt shape. Fleebo doesn't think that anyone can remain in any kind of upright shape after a marathon. :) Duck has a question too. :) Darkwing quacks, "Go ahead, Duck." MacBadger exclaims, "I really didn't remain upright too long Fleebo!" Duck asks, "Well, actually two....First, what do you want to do when and if you grow up, and two, where did you get all the nicknames listed in your pinfo? :)" Fleebo makes a rude noise at the mention of growing up. Duck grins at Fleebo Pan. Darkwing thinks DarkwingZazu was a say-intended-as-a-page from last week. MacBadger says, "Q1) The best I can be. (Because there are many options in my field that I don't know a lot about)" Darkwing checks the log and verifies that MB said "DarkwingZazu" at one point... BatBWebster asks, "this is kinda like truth-or-dare, huh?" MacBadger says, "and as for #2....Let's see... My RL name is Kurt...backwards is Truk." MacBadger says, "DarkwingZazu is my Prodigy Chat name involving my tow favorite Disney birds..." Duck cheers for ducks in general. :) MacBadger says, "Big Ben comes from me knowing the time with or without a watch...." Duck grins! Darkwing quacks, "That leaves Big Smoothy and Trevor." Oliver has arrived. Oliver walks in singing softly, "Oh babe, you can make history young again!" Duck can tell Oliver got the new Elton CD. :) I'm thinking about getting that one. MacBadger says, "Big Smoothie comes from me 'picking up' an entire Girl's Cross Counrty Team in High School." Duck is in awe of MacBadger! Wow! Share THAT secret, please! Fleebo howls laughing at that! Darkwing quacks, "So *you're* the one who wrote that Secrets of Speed Seduction book they're hawking on Usenet..." Darkwing quacks, "All right, we'll wrap up after this question is fully answered, folks." MacBadger says, "And Finally Trevor is the name of an Old 'Atari Jaguar' game Trevor McFurr in the Cresent Galaxy....on the cover Trevor is holding some 'tiger babe'...." Duck eeks...I was an Atari person BEFORE Jaguar. MacBadger says, "And my Manager thought that was me..always the Stud..." Fleebo hmms at this revelation and may be more cautious around MacBadger for a while. ;) Darkwing quacks, "But he's not egotistical, oh no... :)" Oliver has a 2600 in a box somewhere still. ;) MacBadger says, "And that's all I have to say about that..." MacBadger says, "Look who's talking DW...." Darkwing quacks, "Right, that's it for this week, then. Tune in next week to hang out with your friends and meet Djali the Wonder Goat."
