The Asylum

[Rosemary]

Well I'll try and bring some for you next time Rob, only at the moment they are costing us AU$7.00 which is outrageous, even for you my pet.

*Seeing as he isn't going to get any bananas from Rosie he slithers off her lap and over to Ace*

[nixie]

that's expensive... as well Wally prefers apples

[Rosemary]

That's true - I must have been mad, I bought two the other day!!

Apples are a good price, so will bring some next time I come, especially for my dear Wally.

Oh by the way, there was this funny little guy hiding outside with a huge ruby and it sounded as if he was talking to Murgo. Something about keeping the trolls together. It was almost as if I was walking through a page of one of Eddings books!

[nixie]

You don't think he's behind the current conflict over there do you? Most trolls are kind hearted

[The Ace]

Throws a glance to Nixie as he feeds Rob.

[nixie]

You know I wouldn't mind getting a hold of Chork and shaking the truth out of him but I don't think Sochra would let me. Need to find away to get him away fro the throne cave

[Rosemary]

Trolls kind hearted? I've yet to meet one. Anyway, I thought trolls didn't like being in a group, so what that creature was saying did seem rather odd.

Anyone for another drink before I have to go - dialups due to drop out very soon?

Does Chork like glittery things or something like that. Perhaps we could bribe him....

[The Ace]

I'm fine, thanks. Rogues don't tend to like anyone and are generally solitary.

The big troll kingdoms tend to be different, though, I was surprised at the depth of culture I found there.

[nixie]

Trolls are misunderstood, I'll take you over there sometime so you can meet them. The problem is most people only get to see the exiled renegades. The other trolls send them to remote parts of earth where they are unlikely to run into humans and there was a spell on them to turn the renegades into stone if they ventured out during daylight but someone has been messing with it. My uncle an the chief troll shaman have gone to investigate. Think its renegade trolls people are seeing when they report sightings of bigfoot. A drink would be nice

[Rosemary]

Oh, I'd love to meet them! It sounds very involved to me.

*Pours Nixie another cuppa*

Well, I must be away, dial up is due to drop out any moment. Take care everyone.

Hugs for Nixie and Ace.

*Rosie wanders back out through the mural and into the Karri Forest*

[nixie]

Hugs Rosie, see you soon

[The Ace]

Freda waves a palp.

[The Ace]

"OK, come on, then," begins to brush Freda.

[The Ace]

Wanders in from the evening feed and wonders if he should change his deodorant.

[nixie]

everyone must be Christmas shopping
