You know, maybe a Wonder Woman getup wasn’t the best choice, **Princess**. She’s kind of … well … [weird](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Moulton_Marston). ---

I said wonder woman style ☹ Skirt. Check Top. Check Boots. Check Tiara. Check Cool weapons. Check. It was either that or I would’ve had to dig out my Lara Croft geddup…and I simply don’t have the ammo for the guns ☹ Well I thought I kinda looked cool :dubious: ---

I think that needs to be looked at…you weren’t bitten in the village or during your mission to the shower were you? Where Kythereia when you need her?!!! ---

Not in the village, but maybe during my first try at the shower? Things were a little confused. Hmm. I suppose I could have picked it up in the forest between here and the village. Perhaps we should go and look. :: ponders :: Goddess alone knows what **Hal** ’s done to the first initiation room, the stairwell, or any of the other rooms connected to it, though. Especially the Squid Storage Room. I still don’t know what that _thing_ was in the pool there… it might be mating with a CHUD or something by now. Say, **Regallag** , should your men be fooling with that control panel? ---

_Strom-Eye, stop_! We do not meddle in that which we do not understand. Besides, every time anyone touched that pannle, we’ve had nothing but trouble. ---

Nothing like some bored Norsemen to liven up your day. Say, what panel was that anyway? :: walks over to examine the controls :: :eek: Uh, guys, you might want to have a look at this. Seems we’re about to have a bit of a C.H.U.D. invasion … the lock on the main containment is down … ---

Oh eww…and I just washed my hair :dubious: Sunspace, I think that maybe we should find the source of that bite. I mean…it may not hurt but you don’t want to go transforming into a WereCHUD or anything :eek: WereCats are cute…but other ‘were’ things…NO! ---

Transform into a were-something? With my luck, it would have tentacles… \ Maybe you’re right. Perhaps we sould check the corridor and the shower first, then gather the Regallagian Horde and go back through the other initiation room and down to the village. _Maybe_ the villagers won’t recognise us. Say… where is this CHUD containment located anyways? They’re taking their time to get here. Ww should take the time to leave… ---

Sounds good. Maybe we shouldn’t wait for the Horde to get its act together and follow us… ---

Incidentally, folks…I’ll be leaving for vacation in a few hours. Won’t be back until Sunday. In the meantime, we’ll be needing a volunteer to man the board here in the _Evil Overlord Control Room of Evil_. Your duties would include: [ul] [li]Making life hell for everyone else in the thread.[/li][/ul] Yeah, that’s pretty much it. Applications are available through H.R., third room on the left. ---

What, no applicants? Ok, well, I’m hanging the keys to the _Evil Overlord Control Room Of Evil_ on this pegboard. First one to grab 'em gets to run the complex for the week. See ya all on Sunday! 😃 Oh, and don’t think about trying to lock me out for when I get back…I have backdoors in every system.
