[Karn Maeshalanadae]

It matters to me not what the 7th floor does, I don't go down there.


Juken's scared of the dark, mind.

#I am NOT!#

Oh, really? Last time we went outside at night a cricket chirped and you shrieked and flew back to the Dragon Realms for three weeks!

*Flashes out of the Sconce, sees the first level deserted, does a quick check to make sure the door is drool-free (it is), then flashes back into the sconce....*

[Hilarious Joke]

*saunters in, high-fiving the door on the way*

*saunters out, high-fiving the door on the rebound*

[Majimaune]

Where was my high five? What makes the door so special?

[Rosemary]

It might have something to do with leaving wet finger prints on it, Karn.

[Ursa major]

* Checks the security camera records - probably installed because of a new drool - and notices that Geoff was here, but not Karn. *


I wonder....

[Grimward]

Nah, don't go there, Urse.

Karn's pretty good with water, but I don't think he'd make himself into Geoff just to fool the first floor security cameras (after all, he's already got privileges on the first floor). As far as the other floors go, maybe you can use your 4th floor emeritus status to send the butlers on a fact-finding mission....

[Ursa major]

I could send a note down to Cul, if you really want me to; I've lost my automatic privileges there.

[Grimward]

Cul doesn't frequent the facility much (or he has a back door that I with my first floor privileges don't know about, and maintains radio silence while herein). Perhaps a tumbleweed?

[Ursa major]

Now you're talking.


(And it'll soon be sniggering, so it's just as well OR isn't a frequent visitor: it isn't good to see a wolf showing that much trepidation.)

[The Judge]

What is this tumbleweed of which you speak?

[Ursa major]

The Tumbleweeds (not tumbleweeds) are highly advanced semi-autonomous machines useful when things get a bit wild in whichever tea room is currently active. They often lurk within the matter that makes up the floor; to reassure us all, they snigger to make their presence known.)

They only run out of control now and again. They are never homicidal: that would be speciesist.



(Mini-Ursas are based on the same Tumbleweed technology, but due to clever design, and a lot of finger-crossing in the manufacturing plant, they are always better behaved.)

[The Judge]

Sniggering is meant to reassure us? Can't they be programmed to say "There, there" in a soothing voice and offer hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows?

And I require written evidence these things are not Judgicidal, or there will be Writs** flying.



** Writs are entities which cause panic, confusion and dread to all but those with legal skills -- think Harpies, but with pince-nez and pens made from birds' feathers. Motto: "We Kill with a Quill".

[Grimward]

And these writs....they're on paper?
