45 incorrect because the defense claimed that MacBeth had chosen to have a trial in

53 sorry above, but your analogy doesn't fit at all. 'blackmailies' who murder

78 Unsaid Words from Yves
|
||
79 Becky, I think you should know that it is your intense will to
|
||
80 succeed that has made you one of my finest students. That will is what is
|
||
81 driving you, making you push yourself so hard to try to do the best you can.
|
||
82 What you must do now is to take your will and place it under control. I have
|
||
83 seen you win and I have seen you try your hardest but, you have never been
|
||
84 able to do both at the time. Winning requires that you forget about trying to
|
||
85 work so hard, you must just do it without the thinking. Let it happen. When
|
||
86 you try too hard to succeed, your desire overrides your mastery and you are
|
||
87 sure to stumble. If you fall short of the goal, do not stop. Do not stop.
|
||
88 All you have to do is realize why it is that you have come short of your goal
|
||
89 and reset your goal so that it is not as far from your reach. If you are to
|
||
90 continue to be such an valuable student you must not strive for perfection
|
||
91 if you still need to learn more of the fundamentals. Perfection will arrive
|
||
92 through its lack of attention. Let it happen and it will.
|
||
93
|
||
94
|
||
95 He may have never said these words to me, but I knew he meant them.
|
||
96 "finest" was a bit much, "one of the top five" would be more like it.
|
||
97
|
||
98 Thank you, Yves, for the words of critisism and the nods of your
|
||
99 head that we knew meant "You can do better than that..." You were more
|
||
100 valuable to me than I knew. At least Tigger listened to you, did he have
|
||
101 a choice?

|

116 "....And Time locked in his tower?"
|
||
117 I wrote the last words on Myrddin Emrys. Someone else would get the final credit
|
||
118 for it if it was good enough. Oh well, I should be proud if it is saved at all.
|
||
119
|
||
120 After I turned it in and went back to my room, it becme appearent that I had a
|
||
121 guest (I noticed this because he was sitting on my only chair).
|
||
122 "I came to return this book." he said.
|
||
123 "Book, what book?" I asked. He was always doing this sort of thing. "heres that
|
||
124 priceless antique I borrowed,oh didn't I tell you, what, you spent $100,000 sea-
|
||
125 rching for it, oh sorry, well here it is." Sometimes I could de-claw that over-
|
||
126 grown kola bear.
|
||
127 "Sometimes I could de-claw you!" I shrieked.
|
||
128 "Didn't I tell you?" He asked, smiling sweetly.
|
||
129 "No,you didn't," I succeded in controling my temper, "Well, would you like some
|
||
130 tea?"
|
||
131 "Oh sure, thank you."
|
||
132
|
||
133 I flipped through the pages of my new-found book, and found some writing that
|
||
134 hadn't been there before. After several tries, I got him to admit he had written
|
||
135 it. After ignoring his adamit refusals, I edited it (after he had left), and
|
||
136 printed it.
|
||
137
|
||
138 When I got to the Inn, I posted it wherever you post things in Inns, and left
|
||
139 before (I hoped) anyone saw me.

190 The silence that lasted so long was finally to be broken, Gaudy would be the
|
||
191 first to speak.
|
||
192 "After you left, where did you go? To the McKane Academy?" she asked in
|
||
193 a quiet tone. This seemed to have brought the dark figure out of its sulking.
|
||
194 "What? Escape one evil in order to thrust myself into the services of
|
||
195 yet another? Nay, that would have been too simple. Nay. Once free, I had set
|
||
196 my mind to alter my life, create for myself a new quest, a new dream, a new
|
||
197 vision." The figure said this with the most confidence, his arms swinging as
|
||
198 if to tell her to take in all that was around her. But there was nothing to
|
||
199 behold, nothing that would indicate that the dream took shape.
|
||
200 "Yes, this is really a very intriguing atmosphere. I feel that it must
|
||
201 command quite some respect," said Gaudy with a new voice. She wasn't going to
|
||
202 let a chance like this get by. #Could it be that he has just gone insane?#
|
||
203 was one thought that raced through her mind. #If I let him believe that I see
|
||
204 what he sees (which is nothing in reality), maybe I can play his bluff.#
|
||
205 "Oh, a mere pittance! But from here, I am at the control of a vast number
|
||
206 of followers. Such a following that will crush those that do not... It is in
|
||
207 my power to... With these hands I am able..."
|
||
208 #Great, I think it could be working. Now if only I could remember what
|
||
209 was said about nucleo-repolarizing-psychology. I could bring him back if I
|
||
210 can work it out.# Gaudy thought, #He wasn't so bad that he needed removal.#
|
||
211 "What then is your vision? Are you set to destroy NET? Have you just
|
||
212 spared me of what you will do to the rest?" she asked trying to remain calm.
|
||
213 "How dare you! You? Toy with me? I... I could have you utterly and
|
||
214 irrevocably annihilated!" The figure was fuming in a rage of anger.
|
||
215 #Mercurial, this one# she thought. "NO, honestly I'm not. You can't
|
||
216 blame me for being curious as to what you have planned. After all, you did
|
||
217 bring me here in the first place." Gaudy did have that certain way about
|
||
218 her that could even calm the most infuriated L'homme. It seemed to be
|
||
219 working, for the moment at least.

227 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The Young Master West
|
||
228 The "Alternate Reality"
|
||
229 The young Master West took his first step forward to ask tha man his question.
|
||
230 "Excuse me, sir. Prehaps you could be of some help. I'm looking for someone."
|
||
231 Since the man was giving his full attention to the figurine that sat gleaming
|
||
232 before him and to the long since emptied vessel of the Inn's fine ale, the boys
|
||
233 presence had gone unnoticed until he made his address. Putting down the empty
|
||
234 vessel and pushing it away form him he said,
|
||
235 "Forgive me, my mind was elsewhere... Was there a question, son?"
|
||
236 "Yes there was, sir. I was wondering if you could help me find someone. You
|
||
237 see, I am looking for the the one they call the Piper." At that the man's eyes
|
||
238 widend a bit.
|
||
239 "Then have a seat and we shall search together, for I am the piper."
|
||
240 The boy grabbed the back of the seat near the man and then froze as what had
|
||
241 been said began to sink in.
|
||
242 "If you... Then why search?... "
|
||
243 "That is a question you may have to ask of yourself someday. Please! Be
|
||
244 seated." After allowing the boy some time to settle into one of the crafted,
|
||
245 yet smooth chairs at the table, he continued. "Now, what is there that I may
|
||
246 attempt to answer for you?"
|
||
247 Still baffled by his previous statement, he tried to recollect his thoughts.
|
||
248 "Truthfully, it is more of a tale than a question, as such. You see, I have
|
||
249 been sent on... an "errand". Yes, that's it. An errand. Well, now that I am on
|
||
250 my way, I still do not know what it is that I am supposed to do."
|
||
251 "That is odd... Most do not go on an errand and then ask what it is. Am I to
|
||
252 understand that you "can not" go back to ask the reason of the errand?" asked
|
||
253 the piper.
|
||
254 "Yes, precisely! It's all a little embarassing to at the moment, though,"
|
||
255 said the boy. With this, he then related to the piper how he had been sent on
|
||
256 his journey- up to the moment he walked into the door of the Inn.
|
||
257 "And since it said that 'I need but ask...' I decided I would. And that is
|
||
258 why I ask you for your help on this matter."
|
||
259 "Ah! Then we are to share in the learning of a lesson! How odd that we would
|
||
260 need to learn the same lesson at different times in our lives."
|
||
261 The young Master West was now really feeling baffled.

292 scrolls to my senses. If not for the absence of one who I enjoy most of all

293 then all was fulfilled. Where lies kathyd and why must I be held in this

294 horrid state of suspense and dismay awaiting my turn at the wheel? Does she

295 sit in some lone and quiet place pondering her next entry of love or laughter?

297 those who have tasted so little of lifes sweet breathes but still do give of

298 their spontenaity and talent so that pawns such as I can endeavor to rise above

299 our standards. Let us hope that all is not lost on the young and that there is

313 He fell much further that he should. This had to be a very large room. He
|

314 hit on his hands, hard even in this low gravity, and rolled to his feet.
|

315 He could here the muffled breathing from more than one person. He had been

316 expected.
|

317 His ears strained against the tiny sounds, tring to make sence of them, then

318 he felt more than heard the unsound of the noise dampers, high out of hearing

319 range.

320 He felt movement to the right and with a feirce move attacked into the dark-

323 would be too. He ran along the wall, his hand lightly touching the passing
|
||
324 surface. A door. He stopped.
|
||
325 It would be locked, or they would have stopped him before now.
|
||
326 In a flash of thought his hand flew out in the darkness to the light control.
|
||
327 Soft light flowed into the room, and with it three screams filled the air.
|
||
328 The smile broadened. Light amplifiers.
|
||
329 Ten feet away was the nearest, tearing at his helment like a wildman. A few
|
||
330 more moments and the blindness would be irreversible. He grabbed the rithing
|
||
331 form and forced a hand onto the gray square next to the wall. The door slid
|
||
332 open.
|
||
333 He closed the door to muffle the screams.
|
||
334 The corridor was clear. He headed toward the upper levels.

|
||
358 After an intense hour of trying to get the hang of how the Market really
|
||
359 operated, Jack had caught on to how to interpret the indicator along with
|
||
360 the hand-signs sent to him by Tina on the side lines. Things were almost
|
||
361 under control. Shortly afterwards, someone noticed what was going on and let
|
||
362 a few others in on the deal. Gary Mitchell, a long term competitor against
|
||
363 the peanut butter industry- for God only knows why- had decided to watch
|
||
364 what was taking place from the onset. Tina had recognized him when first she
|
||
365 saw him, but wasn't sure where he fit into the scene. Tina signalled Jack to
|
||
366 come over to the railing for a quick chat.
|
||
367 "What is it, Tina? You look concerned. Is there anything wrong?"
|
||
368 "I'm not sure. Maybe I'm just a little paranoid but I think we're being
|
||
369 watched."
|
||
370 "Of course we're being watched," said Jack. "We're in the Market, everyone
|
||
371 is being watched in here."
|
||
372 "No, not that. I mean us, I think WE are being watched," said Tina as she
|
||
373 looked around into the crowd.
|
||
374 "That's easy then, we'll just atke our time. We have all day to spend the
|
||
375 323 grand on all the Jif stock we can get our hands on," replied Jack smoothly.
|
||
376 "It may not be as easy as that," said Tina nervously.
|
||
377 "What can go wrong now? (famous last words.) It's simple- We buy the Jif
|
||
378 stock and the price goes up a little. Marci and Tony give the 'other guys' some
|
||
379 of the good ol' 'Jimmy Carter' for good measure. Then when that hits the news
|
||
380 their price drops, Jif goes through the roof and the business is saved. Right?"
|
||
381 "Don't you get it? It all sounds too easy now. Where could I have gone
|
||
382 wrong?" muttered Tina.
|
||
383 "Hey, don't do that to yourself. You've got a great head on your shoulders,
|
||
384 the plan was great, it'll work. Trust me."
|
||
385 "I still think we're being watched," said Tina.
|
||
386 Yes, they were being watched. As Jack went about making the Jif purchases,
|
||
387 Mitchell passed the word to others to liquidate their holdings in Jif. This
|
||
388 caused mixed reactions. The indicator showed Jif to be standing firm during
|
||
389 medium trade, then it showed Jif to lose a fraction of a point after heavy
|
||
390 trade. Mitchell then went to his corner in the Pit, got a cup of water from
|
||
391 the water dispenser, and began to feel really good for having slipped the
|
||
392 peanut butter business a curve ball. Jack and Tina had another quick chat.
|
||
393 "You see? I told you it was too easy. Now what?" asked Tina.
|
||
394 "No problem. The Jif price has fallen, right? Now we can get more stock
|
||
395 for the money, right? I'll just buy in slightly larger bundles, that's all.
|
||
396 It'll work itself out, you'll see," answered Jack.
|
||
397 "You think of everything, Don't you?" said Tina, now more reasssured.

439 The Lady always got so upity when the Former took them, that he had just decided not to tell her about taking this one.
|
||
440 It isn't like he wasn't going to return it, or even as if she didn't know who hd taken it. He did leave a note where it used
|
||
441 to rest, and the note did have a name on it, it even explained why he had taken it.
|
||
442
|
||
443 The Lady had said to him that he could borrow the book in question, some five months ago. In trying to get the Lady to go in
|
||
444 the Inn, he had said something like "Well, I'll borrow it when you go to the Inn."
|
||
445
|
||
446 Althought the conversation drooped a bit after that, the promise was made on both sides. Later, when the Former found that
|
||
447 the Lady had made ann appearence, he realized he had to remain true to his word. And he took it, and it was the Lady's fault
|
||
448 that she wasn't there to acknowledge that he had taken it on time.

491 "A remarkable tendency, one that always plagued Napoleon." Said the Pastor
|
||
492 to the little girl, looking oh so vulnerable with torn shirt and hem.
|
||
493 "All well and good, but you are totally forgetting the plight of this young
|
||
494 girl. Look at her, do you think she wants to hear about Napoleon?" Said the
|
||
495 Armorer to the Pastor, trying to speak with a tone of infinate patience. And
|
||
496 failing quite miserably of course.
|
||
497
|
||
498 "And you should talk, at least I was trying to calm down the girl!"" Said
|
||
499 the Pastor in rebuff.
|
||
500 "You were not, you were trying to sound wizened, to impress her is what I
|
||
501 think you were doing." Said the Armorer, becoming quite involved with this
|
||
502 little arguement. One of many recently. They always seemed to be fighting
|
||
503 these days.
|
||
504
|
||
505 "Neither of you are helping me, who of all these people is the Former?"
|
||
506 Said the little girl to the immature two people in front of her.
|
||
507 "Please forgive us," Said the Pastor, with eyes sinking deeply, and brow
|
||
508 lowering also. They felt stupid, and the Armorer continued to finish the
|
||
509 apology that the saddening Pastor had started.
|
||
510 "We do start to argue for the slightest things, we can never seem to agree
|
||
511 on anything else anyway. Sorry about that, it wont happen again." Said the
|
||
512 Armorer, enforcing his statement with a threatening look at the Pastor.
|
||
513
|
||
514 "Neither of you are helping me, who of all these people is the Former?"
|
||
515 Said the girl, cheeks afluster with building frustration and anger at these
|
||
516 dottering men. Perhaps yelling at them, thought the girl, might get her a
|
||
517 straight answer as to who the `Former' is.
|
||
518
|
||
519 With this, the men simply turned a heavy head towards a teddy bear, sitting
|
||
520 animatedly on top of a table explaining something in great detail to a very
|
||
521 skeptical onlooker. Could this be the Former?
|
||
522
|
||
523 The little girl walked over to the Former. Almost because she was afraid
|
||
524 to take her eyes off of him, she bumped into an empty chair. The rather loud
|
||
525 commotion that resulted from the chair tipping over attracted attention from
|
||
526 even the darkest lit corners of this `Inn'. Even more fraught with this latest
|
||
527 humiliation, she swatted the chair aside and stepped up to the Former. Quite
|
||
528 silenced with wonder the Former was sitting there with mouth agape. She looked
|
||
529 at him and then an the front doors with a look that dripped ice.
|
||
530
|
||
531 The Former jumped off the table, and staired eye to eye with the little
|
||
532 girl, and after a tense moment of mutual wonder, the Former moved to the door.
|
||
533 Seemingly quite under the wrath of a very mad girl. A very mad girl, in the
|
||
534 rags of a peasant.
|
||
535 The scene slowly returned to normal after the commotion was over, and soon
|
||
536 conversations started to pop up again all over the commons. Most carried the
|
||
537 subject of how violent life really was.

543 L'homme - 'long time to answer the puzzle'? I answered it 300 lines after
|
||
544 your friend 'mini-quiz-mistress' (harumph!) put it on here, which happened
|
||
545 to be the next time I logged on after seeing it. Considering how hard it is

|

547 _Leonard_ - I'm a bit unsure in my visualization of your cylindar/sphere.
|
||
548 If I interpret it correctly, the cylinder can be long & thin, or short & fat,
|
||
549 or in-between. Or it may be irrelevant to the problem... It's been 16 years
|
||
550 since I took geometry; I'm a bit rusty. Hmmm...

|

553 To ALL: There seems to be quite a bit of ruckus (could I define the ruckus?)
|
||
554 lately about the people baring their true faces. Some people seem to wonder what
|
||
555 pursuaded others to take on the persona of their oposite sex. If you all will
|
||
556 recall the Dustin Hoffman comedy "Tootie,"
|
||
557 we see an illustration of this. Not only does he don women's makeup and
|
||
558 clothing for the purpose of employment, he also consideres it (whether
|
||
559 he admits it or not) a great acting challenge. If I could be so bold to say
|
||
560 that The Inn is the personal computer world's closest offering of a real-life^
|
||
561 social situation, then we can all consider ourselves as actors, with Backwater
|
||
562 being our stage. It is up to us to create our characters"makeup", and
|
||
563 "costumes". But the best part is: there is no Director telling us how to act.
|
||
564 Just our own feelings, and, oftentimes, whims. Cistop Mikey created the stage,
|
||
565 and we are the players.
|
||
566 Just a little thought to keep in mind.
|
||
567 Godspeed and good fortune in your endeavors!

572 Leonard: I, having had some Geometry just a short while ago, am also having
|
||
573 a difficult time envisualizing this sphere/cylinder. The height of the
|
||
574 cylinder may or may not have any relation to its diameter, which of course is
|
||
575 not stated- therefore there is three conclusions that can be drawn:
|
||
576 1. You forgot to include something.
|
||
577 2. I'm getting very rusty in my Geometry, and there is a solution.
|
||
578 3. There isn't a solution at all. Or rather, there is an infinite number of

579 solutions.

585 A dark lady walks into the Inn, seats herself far from the jabbering crowds
|

586 A look of hesitation crosses her face; can she really join into these

587 conversations that have taken shape over so long a time? She wraps
|

588 herself deeper into her cloak, but in doing so a glint can be seen from
|
||
589 her forehead. She wants to join in, but she doesn't understand. She
|
||
590 will eat with them, drink with them, but cannot understand their

591 conversation. Perhaps she will speak, but when she does, what will they

592 think?

595 Sometimes a joker is not the jester but rather the fool. How so does one

596 conclude to which he has become? Of course it is his audience. Be they frivial
|

597 and jovial then be he the jester but if their mood turns to snicker then
|
||
598 per chance doth the fjester become the fool. So it is with life, as it is
|
||
599 sometimes hard to determine whether there is laughter or is the sound really
|
||
600 that of jeers and half hid goofaws of pity and embarrassment.
