25
|

26 St. Paddy's Day always reminds me of you.
|
||
27 It was an important day for you.
|
||
28 It reminded you of your heritage.
|
||
29 You enjoyed the Irish in your blood.
|
||
30 I enjoyed being your friend.
|
||
31 You were always easy to talk to.
|
||
32 You were never judgmental.
|
||
33 You never tryed to be impressive.
|
||
34 You were just yourself.
|
||
35 So much that was said.
|
||
36 So much that didn't have to be said.
|
||
37 So much that never was said.
|
||
38 Your stories brought great enjoyment to me.
|
||
39 You allowed me into your life.
|
||
40 You let me see inside you in your stories.
|
||
41 You let me see inside myself in our talks.
|
||
42 Much love passed between us.
|
||
43 And much pain.
|
||
44 I was honored to be counted as your friend.
|
||
45 I miss you Pam.

||
61 Can't say I mind not being at the top. Nice to see others calling. Heres part
|
||
62 17. Oh, I'm sorry if the quility has been off a bit the last couple of times.
|
||
63 I've been really busy and unable to get much writting in. Thus I've had a bit
|
||
64 less time to polish.
|
||
65
|
||
66 Patrick searched for the parchment in his pack as William looked over his
|
||
67 shoulder.
|
||
68 "Wow! Thats really strange looking! You could carry a 2 man tent and a
|
||
69 couple sleeping bags in that thing and still have room to spare."
|
||
70 "Thats not a bad idea. I wish I'd thought of it before we got trapped
|
||
71 here."
|
||
72 "Ah, here it is. Tucked into this book."
|
||
73 "Mind if I look at that?"
|
||
74 "No, be carefull though."
|
||
75 "No problem."
|
||
76 Patrick handed him the parchment and William examined it, rotating it
|
||
77 and moving it closer and farther away from his face. Finally his eyes crossed.
|
||
78 he shook his head and handed the parchment back to Patrick. "I think I'd better
|
||
79 sit down." He said falling back onto his bed and staring at the ceiling.
|
||
80 Laughing Patrick took the parchment and set it down on one of the desks.
|
||
81 "It has about the same effect on me, Somtimes though I almost think I can
|
||
82 understand it."
|
||
83 "Pat buddy, if you can understand that I'm impressed. Makes me dizzy just
|
||
84 thinking about that writting."
|
||
85 "I wish I knew how Brian wrote it, as hard as it seems to be to read
|
||
86 I'll bet its worse to write."
|
||
87 "Yeah, I suppose."
|
||
88 Patrick sat in the chair in front of the desk and examined the rune. The
|
||
89 wavering seemed to have a pattern. Almost without realizing it Patrick
|
||
90 began to compensate for it. His head began to shake
|
||
91 and his eyes to move rythmicly all around the parchment.
|
||
92 Somebody knocked on the door and his concentration was brocken. "Blast!
|
||
93 Who the heck could that be? Could you check that out Will?"
|
||
94 "Sure."
|
||
95 The knock came again. William walked over to the door and opened it.
|
||
96 Outside stood a small man dressed much like the Inn keeper. "I'm the assistant
|
||
97 Innkeeper, theres a package here for a William McAuley. Its supposed to go
|
||
98 to this room." He said pointing to a medium sized wooden chest sitting in the
|
||
99 hallway beside him.
|
||
100 "I'm William McAuley. I wonder were that came from?"
|
||
101 "It just appeared in the middle of the common room downstairs." The
|
||
102 junior Innkeeper scratched his head. "Strange, but not unheard of. I should
|
||
103 have listened to my mother. She told me not to get into this business."
|
||
104 "Do I need to sign for it?"
|
||
105 "Hmm? Oh no. I figure that whoever sent it is plenty capable of makeing
|
||
106 sure it gets into the right hands. Besides, you look like the hounest type.
|
||
107 I'll help you drag it in if you'de like me to."
|
||
108 "Sure, thanks."
|
||
109 With little assistance from William the Junior Innkeeper pulled the
|
||
110 chest into the center of their room. "I must be getting back to the bar now.
|
||
111 Good day to the two of you."
|
||
112 "bye, thanks for the help."
|
||
113 "No problem." He said as the door closed behind him.
|
||
114 William stared at the chest for a moment before reaching out and
|
||
115 fiddling with the clasp that held it closed. There was a click as he managed
|
||
116 to work it loose.
|
||
117 "Think we should open it?"
|
||
118 "Sure, if you don't mind though I'll use my staff just in case somthing
|
||
119 is waiting to jump out at us."
|
||
120 William shrugged. "Fine with me." walking back and standing beside
|
||
121 Patrick.
|
||
122 "Here we go." Patrick said reaching out with the staff and pushing up
|
||
123 on the lid. With a bit of effort it opened.

|
||
128 "Drat those Earthers!" swore Zariah. It had not taken long to
|
||
129 discover the place that Mr. Noize and the Ruckus had spent the night.
|
||
130 But none of them were to be seen anywhere.
|
||
131 "Figures they'd go wandering off. And I'll bet none of them has
|
||
132 any woodcraft to speak of. That decadent world they hail from has
|
||
133 whipped any good sense they had out of them, I'll wager..." Zariah's
|
||
134 gaze fell to the ground, where he saw footprints leading away. His eyes
|
||
135 widened.
|
||
136 "And gone deeper into the forest! I'd better find them, and
|
||
137 quickly- one look at a dryad and they're done for! Not a living brain cell
|
||
138 between them, I'll bet," he mumbled as he followed the faint trail.
|
||
139 ###############
|
||
140 "Hey, anybody know how to tell which way is north?"
|
||
141 "Yeah," said Syd. "I do. I was a Boy Scout."
|
||
142 This provoked a long series of "You were not" and "Yeah, sure" and
|
||
143 "Tell us another one, bucko".
|
||
144 "I was too! Ask Tony. He's seen my old outfit." The truth was
|
||
145 that Syd had stolen it as a boy and had kept it as a souvenir, but he was
|
||
146 not about to reveal this now.
|
||
147 "Yeah, he's got one. Prob'ly stole it." drawled Tony.
|
||
148 Johnny was getting worried. He *KNEW* Forest Park wasn't this big.
|
||
149 Where had they gone when under the influence of that "beer" of Tony's?
|
||
150 The forest grew darker, somehow gaining a sinister quality. Tall
|
||
151 oaks, yews, and elms seemed to move slightly, creeping nearer and pressing
|
||
152 in towards them. The birds grew quiet.
|
||
153 A loud giggle pierced the air.
|
||
154 Everyone turned to face a tremendous oak, gnarled with age. A
|
||
155 beautiful woman lay upon the ground near it; she was small and slender,
|
||
156 clad only in a green garment that revealed much more than it hid. This
|
||
157 seemed to produce a slight chin-dropping and mouth-opening effect among
|
||
158 the Ruckus.
|
||
159 She giggled again. "Hello, my name is Bliss." Her voice was
|
||
160 soft and pure, her manner seductive.
|
||
161 "Uh, hi." That was all Johnny could manage.
|
||
162 ###############
|
||
163 The city was bustling with activity. Hundreds of strangers
|
||
164 passed Merryl and I as we followed the directions written for us by
|
||
165 the coin dealer.
|
||
166 "That's it, Pan!" Merryl pointed to a long slab of stone, placed
|
||
167 in the center of the block. No one seemed to be paying attention to us.
|
||
168 "Sure looks like it. All right, let's get started, then."
|
||
169 We took positions at opposite ends of the stone, and prepared
|
||
170 ourselves for the casting. A few people looked over at us, but did nothing.
|
||
171 "Ready for number thirty?" I asked.
|
||
172 "Yes. But Pan- don't ad-lib this time, okay?"
|
||
173 I smiled. "Fair enough. One! Two! Three!"
|
||
174 We began playing. The Door spell required the most preparation-
|
||
175 it was not a minor thing to move yourself by magick. I visualized the
|
||
176 School in Dunbarrah in complete detail- worn steps, spell-scarred ivy that
|
||
177 hung from the walls, narrow windows... I knew Merryl was doing the same,
|
||
178 doubtless recalling other details. The picture grew firm in my mind, gaining
|
||
179 solidity from the web of song we wove. The stone slab glowed in response
|
||
180 as it felt our Power growing within the bounds we had set.
|
||
181 People were beginning to gather around us, watching.
|
||
182 I prayed they would not interrupt, and we continued. My Power was
|
||
183 stretched out like a thin cord, ready to...
|
||
184 *SNAP*

251 It appeared here from late 1985 to around march or 86. It was in 46 parts I

252 believe. With a bit of editing it was very well writtn in my opinion.
|

253
|

254 As you noted it was heckled very severly by somebody who seemed to have some

255 sort of vendeta.

257 It was believed at the time that the DESTROYER was a pen name for JD.

|
||
266 Ok, heres part 18.
|
||
267
|
||
268 William walked up and looked inside. Opening it up had not reveled
|
||
269 anything immediatly dangerous.
|
||
270 Other then his name and their room letter there had been nothing on the
|
||
271 outside to indicate who might have sent it. Inside it was just as berift of
|
||
272 information.
|
||
273 What it did contain were clothes, sleeping bags, a tent and other camping
|
||
274 suplies.
|
||
275 "Somebody seems to like us." Noted William.
|
||
276 "It would appear so. I'd bet that stuff would cost a bit of money back
|
||
277 home. Looks to be from there to. Did you check the labels?"
|
||
278 "Yeah, all earth made. First rate stuff to. Light and compact. Shouldn't
|
||
279 have any trouble carying it around. No backpacks though, thats strange."
|
||
280 "No, not if whomever sent this stuff knew about my pack. It should just
|
||
281 be able to hold everything."
|
||
282 "Hmm, we don't need any of this stuff right now. Might as well see I
|
||
283 guess."
|
||
284 As Patrick had surmised they were able to place the tent,sleeping bags and
|
||
285 everything else in the pack. It was a close fit though. William lifted it
|
||
286 up off of his bed after everything had been placed inside and the zipper
|
||
287 had been done up. "Light as a feather! Amazing."
|
||
288 "Yeah, I'd bet that if we could find lead weights to fill that pack we'd b
|
||
289 able to float up into the sky while holding on to the straps."
|
||
290 "Thats good and bad. If we ever have to carry anything really heavy we're
|
||
291 going to have to be carfull or everything will be flying the friendly skies
|
||
292 so to speak." William noted.
|
||
293 "True. Hmm, Looks like it's about three by my watch. What time did your
|
||
294 mom expect you to be back?"
|
||
295 "Oh she probably won't start to worry till late tonight. I didn't really
|
||
296 give her an exact time."
|
||
297 "Me either. I really don't want to have them worry about us. Hopefully
|
||
298 we'll get back before it gets to late."
|
||
299 "Hate to be pessimistic, But getting those camping supplies makes me
|
||
300 sort of think that we're not going home anytime soon Pat."
|
||
301 "Maybe, Every time I try to figure out that rune somthing seems to
|
||
302 happen." He paused for a moment. "Hmm, Now that I think about it I was holding
|
||
303 the orb when I read the rune that returned me home. Maybe It will help me
|
||
304 understand this one."

305 "Worth a try. Why don't you give me one of those books you brought
|
||
306 along, I'll read while you study."
|
||
307 "Sure, you have your choice of f through k of the Encylopedia."
|
||
308 "Hmm, some exciting letters there. I guess I'll just take a nap."
|
||
309 "I hope I can figure this out soon, I'm getting a bit tired
|
||
310 of just sitting around here helplesly."
|
||
311 "Yeah, But it could be a whole lot worse. We could be stuck in some
|
||
312 soggy jungle in the middle of nowere without food or shelter."
|
||
313 "Ok, I guess you have a point. Well third times a charm."
|
||
314 Patrick dug the orb out of the pack and returned to the desk
|
||
315 were the parchment still sat. "Ok, Here goes nothing." He thought. With the
|
||
316 orb in one hand he looked down at the paper. It was as clear as day.
|
||
317 Without reading the rune he put the Orb down. The wavering returned
|
||
318 instantly. As he moved the Orb farther and farther away the wavering continued
|
||
319 to increase. Returning it to his hand he looked down at the crystal clear
|
||
320 symbol. His Uncle had told him it was a focus...
|
||
321 "Well, I've figured it out."
|
||
322 "Great, what does it mean?
|
||
323 "I'm don't know. I'm not able to tell that yet."
|
||
324 "Its not the same as the one that got you home though is it?"
|
||
325 "No, I'm sure of that. Want to take a chance?"
|
||
326 "Sure, I don't think that Brian guy would give you anything that would
|
||
327 get us killed."
|
||
328 "Didn't seem the type. Ok, are you ready?"
|
||
329 "As ready as I'll ever be."
|
||
330 Patrick looked down and read the rune.

400 As the thankless result of an obviously bored and slightly crazed

401 programmer who struggled for the better part of an evening to

403 provide this product to you at the unbelievably low price of
|

404 FREE! That's right, this program will cost you nothing! (Except

405 maybe your sanity.)
|
||
406
|
||
407 MAKECOM will convert any EXE file to a COM file with just a few
|
||
408 simple commands on your computer's keyboard. And it REALLY,
|
||
409 REALLY WORKS! It slices! It Dices! Opps! Wrong commercial...
|

410
|

411 But Wait! That's not all! Act now and we will throw in absolutely

413 your own Pascal programs right in your own bathroom! (Which is

414 where this belongs.)
|

415
|

416 As an added incentive (and because we have several thousand extra

417 bytes we can't figure out how else to get rid of), we will also
|

418 include at absolutely no cost to you (or ourselves) the Assembler

|
||
420 assembly code using the Seattle Computer Products Assembler!
|

421
|
||
422 How much would you expect to pay for all this? Ten Million
|
||
423 dollars? Twenty million dollars? (Would you believe...fifty cents
|
||
424 and a baseball card?) Well forget what you might expect to pay
|
||
425 (because you probably have a better idea of it's value than we

429 And if you are among the first 10 million callers We'll throw in

430 at no added cost (except maybe shipping, handling and a rather

431 large gratuity charge) MAKEHEX.PAS an Intel hex format to Turbo

432 Pascal hex format conversion program. Now you can convert the HEX
|

488 didn't you. Well, that's ok. Cool you're back. A commodore 64, huh? well,

489 rename yourself!!! the commodore 64 champ! I don't believe that AD or myself

|

519
|
||
520 It took me an hour to get on here, and then I find that nothing has been
|
||
521 entered since noon. Very strange. Well, its 8pm march 21 right now. Here's
|
||
522 part 19.
|
||
523
|
||
524 His suroundings spun around him. He could feel himself rising out of the
|
||
525 room and leaving all the things that were there behind. Realising that He
|
||
526 would lose his possesions as well as his friend William and Cymry he 'reached'
|
||
527 out and grabed them.
|
||
528 For a moment the effort caused him to become dazed. When his senses
|
||
529 returned he realized that William and Cymry now floated to either side of him
|
||
530 along with the small cache of possesions they had managed managed to gather.
|
||
531 They were no longer in the Inn. It now appeared that they were floating
|
||
532 in deep space. Occasionaly dots of light could be seen in the distance, But
|
||
533 soon they would fade and dissapere only to be replaced by others.
|
||
534 Patrick tried to speak but no sound came from his mouth. To his right
|
||
535 William moved his mouth as if trying to tell him somthing. Patrick realized
|
||
536 that he was gesturing of into the blackness in front of them.
|
||
537 Looking forward again He could see another light approaching. Unlike
|
||
538 the others this one grew brighter. A cold wind pulled at them and looking
|
||
539 around Patrick saw a body fly by. It was hard to tell what it had been, but
|
||
540 whatever it was now it was not alive. Patrick felt the bile rise in his
|
||
541 throat but was unable to relieve his nausea. Beside him William bent over
|
||
542 in chocked convulsions as well.
|
||
543 The Light had gotten so close now that it nearly blinded them. With a
|
||
544 load bang sound returned and they found themselves in a small room that looked
|
||
545 to be a study. Both Patrick and William were finally able to empty their
|
||
546 stomachs. Cymry looked on in sympathy.
|
||
547 "Have a bad trip?" Asked Brian who was seated behind the large desk that
|
||
548 filled most of one end of the room.
|
||
549 William was the first to recover. "Who the hell are you?"
|
||
550 "You must be a friend of Patricks. I am Brian of Brians school of magic,
|
||
551 Perhaps he has mentioned me?"
|
||
552 "Yeah, your the one who gave him that parchment. Were the heck were we?
|
||
553 And what killed that... whatever it was."
|
||
554 "You saw somthing while in the ether? A one in a million chance at
|
||
555 best." He glanced at the mess on the floor "Must have been unpleasent judging
|
||
556 by the way you two arrived."
|
||
557 Patrick managed to catch his breath. "It was..." He said before chocking
|
||
558 again.
|
||
559 "Never mind, don't think about it if it makes you ill. I would however
|
||
560 like to know how you managed to bring along two other beings plus possesions
|
||
561 with a spell that was designed to carry one."
|
||
562 Patrick pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his mouth. For the
|
||
563 first time he was glad his grandmother had insisted on placing one in his
|
||
564 pockets whenever she did the washing. "I just 'picked' them up. It was a
|
||
565 bit of a strain though."
|
||
566 "Really? You amaze me again. I trust you have come to learn somthing of
|
||
567 magic. You have certainly shown an aptitude for it."
|
||
568 "Well, I'd like to learn magic, but right now William and I need to get
|
||
569 home."
|
||
570 "Home? Isn't that were you came from?"
|
||
571 Patrick related to him what had transpired.
|
||
572 "I see, So you didn't come here from your home... I'm afraid I have some
|
||
573 rather bad news."
|
||
574 "What?"
|
||
575 "Right now there is no way for me to get any of you there. The spell you
|
||
576 used would have returned you there if you had used it again, but since
|
||
577 you used it from this Inn you told me off it will now only return you there."
|
||
578 "Isn't there some other way?" William asked.
|
||
579 "Not that I know of. I have no idea were in the multi-verse the two of
|
||
580 you come from. Untill one of you learns or remembers the proper spell..."
|
||
581 "Then we can get back?"
|
||
582 "You did it once didn't you?"
|
||
583 "Yes, But I can't remember that rune anymore."
|
||
584 "It will return to you eventually. Untill that time you can stay here and
|
||
585 learn of magic."

641 .
|
||
642
|
||
643 I am proposing a new shared world to set stories in here on Backwater.
|
||
644 The world will be known as Etherworld and will be much like the worlds
|
||
645 depicted in variose Cyberpunk novels.
|
||
646
|
||
647 Etherworld exists in the mid 21st century. Mankind has developed
|
||
648 computers that are so powerfull they are able to support synthetic realities
|
||
649 that people can 'exist' in if they have interface plugs. Interface plugs are
|
||
650 placed either under the ear or at the base of the skull.
|
||
651
|
||
652 Genetics and mechanical enhancment has been developed to an extremly
|
||
653 high level. The technology has become so cheap that almost anybody can be
|
||
654 enhanced beyond even todays greatest athletes.
|
||
655
|
||
656 The world is controled by several large Corporations that control the
|
||
657 means of production and just about everything else as well. Governments have
|
||
658 become nearly non-existant. Needless to say it is a very violent place.
|
||
659
|
||
660 If the Corporations control the means of production then the net
|
||
661 jockeys control the glue that keeps things going. Whithout the world wide
|
||
662 computer networks Everything would soon come to a halt. The corporations
|
||
663 would be unmanagable and mass starvation would be nearly immediate.
|
||
664
|
||
665 Each Corporation has it's own private army known as CP's, or
|
||
666 Corporate Police. These private armies keep order in and around the special
|
||
667 company towns that exist in varios parts of the world. Outside these little
|
||
668 enclaves life is violent and hard.
|
||
669
|
||
670 Many people either are not allowed to or refuse the work for the
|
||
671 mega-corporations. Some have formed terrorist organizations bent upon
|
||
672 'Tearing down the dispicable machines of destruction that rob mankind of
|
||
673 it's freedom and human Dignaty.'
|
||
674
|
||
675 Amoung the most effective of these groups are the Net Jockies. They
|
||
676 are the biggest threat to the Corporations and are ruthlessly hunted down
|
||
677 whenever possible.
|
||
678
|
||
679 The Corporations employ their own Jockies known as 'arnolds' in
|
||
680 net jocky circles. For the most part these arnolds are no match for the
|
||
681 average Net Jockey. The Corporations fear what might happen if a truelly
|
||
682 quilified arnold were to turn. Never the less there are still some
|
||
683 arnolds that have managed to 'burn' a jockey.
|
||
684
|
||
685 Thats all for now, we can fill in details later. We need to flesh
|
||
686 out atleast one Corporation and make up a villain. Almost anything could
|
||
687 happen in this world.
|
||
688
|
||
689 Movies/books that fit into the genra(sp?) are Bladerunner, RoboCop,
|
||
690 The William Gibson books, and to some extent the Alian movies.

755 "Don't worry about that. I'll take care of everything. I think you have

756 outstanding potential. A Scholership has been offered you. I will also

757 Finance Williams education,0as yt is somewhat my fault that he is here."

758 "I don't think we have much choice Pat." William noted.

759 "I suppose you're right, and it wouldn't have to be forever."

984 Ah, I'd thought so. Nice to see you. We're nearing the end of another disk
|
||
985 here. At the risk of cursing us I'd like to say that things have been going
|
||
986 rather well recently. We've averaged a bit retteb then a disk a week for the
|
||
987 last four or so.

|
||
989 Innkeeper, You use a name that was used in the past by the sysop of this board.
|
||
990 don't want to discorage you from it's use, just pointing out that there may
|
||
991 be some confusion.
|
||
992
|
||
993 I'm 22, work part time as a Data Base admin, go to PSU part time and enjoy
|
||
994 music, reading writting and computing in general. Oh, I'm male.
|
||
995
|
||
996 End of the disk. See you all soon on the new disk A. Hope Mikey changes it
|
||
997 soon. He really doesn't make enough for what he does. I'm looking forward to
|
||
998 having my own BBS someday. I hope I can keep my enthusiasm for 8+ years
|
