Are you sure? Perhaps the information it was being offered just never reached her consciousness. I've the feeling she has to filter out ninety percent of incoming information as unacceptable; after all, there can't be more than ten percent of what goes on here that is classifiable as 'normal'.

[The Ace]

"I offered and got no reply. What's that, Freda ?"

Freda makes a few gestures.

"You've picked up a scent somewhere, Karn. She doesn't know what it is but it smells delicious."

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

*sighs and draws his sword* If you wish to keep what little hair you have left, H-girl, you'd best forget the nickname you and the crazed emu had given me.

A scent? Must've been from EE.....

[HoopyFrood]

The thing about nicknames, though, is they tend to stick rather well.

A non-answer from me isn't a refusal, I was just lured away by other things.

[The Ace]

"Fine," passes tea to Hoopy and makes one for Chris as well," Karn ? Ursa ?"

[Ursa major]

Septimus has already provide me with mine, but thanks anyway, Ace.

[HoopyFrood]

People keep sneaking in at the end of previous pages! Hello, ursa.

[Ursa major]

Do you think it may be anything to do with the return of Paige Turner?


Soon after I joined, I trawled through a lot of threads, reading posts by members who had - I later discovered - become inactive, such as Knivesout, Leto and Paige Turner. It's good to see that at least one of them has returned.

* Wonders if these folks' distinctive avatars have anything to do with my remembering them. *

[The Ace]

I'm just glad she's back.

[HoopyFrood]

Perhaps so.

Certainly a [most recognisable] face from the past.

[Hedge]

Thought I would drop by and say Hi.

[The Ace]

"Evening. What's your poison ?"

Freda scuttles over to Hedge.

"Don't worry, it's her way of saying, 'Hello.' Some people find it helpful to imagine her as a big, friendly dog with too many legs."

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Until she wraps you in tough, sticky spider silk webbing and hangs you from the rafters.


*Glares at Freda* Ace, would you please ask her to stop staring at me like that? It's making me nervous.....

[Hedge]

I,m intrgued who is FREDA what am I missing here. My poison, I have many.

[The Ace]

She's a very large spider, (the size of an alsatian) highly intelligent, fiercely loyal, fond of her cat and passionate about pringles.

Karn was referring to her habit of cocooning people who fall asleep in here, she thinks it's funny. There's no real harm in her, though and she's made a lot of friends here
