The Mysterious Disappearance of <ANTIR5> !!!
(see the message <ANTIR5> is on the case of the RE: MFARLOW messages Date: Friday, 26 May 1995)
| [Serious Stephen] (the Serious Announcer) | Our Fools be discussing the sudden Dramatic Disappearance of the Super Secret Spy <ANTIR5> while Lady Lucrativa be looking at some jewellery with a merchant. Bottel be ordering drinks... |
| [Battel] | ...and Robin told him to leave things alone... |
| [Lady Lucrativa] | Those be nice necklaces but... |
| [Battel] | ...we were fooling about and then he pushed... |
| [Lady Lucrativa] | ...I can not make up my mind whether I want the Gold or the Silver one... |
| [Battel] | ...a flash of light... |
| [Bottel] | ...two ciders, please... |
| [Battel] | ...a puff of smoke... |
| [Lady Lucrativa] | ...they both look very good... |
| [Battel] | ...an alarming cry... |
| [Babbel] | ...Hey! A cider for me too! |
| [Bottel] | ...Ho! |
| [Lady Lucrativa] | ...Silver! |
| [Battel] | ...Away he went, I know not where... |
| [Quibbel] | Yes, but who WAS that masked man anyway? |
| [Battel] | No one knows, except perhaps... we could ask the Prince... he knoweth all ... |
| [Quibbel] | How do we contact the Prince? |
| [Battel] | That be not as easy as some think. |
| [Babbel] | You see, the Prince verily doth change his disguise every 6 months, and then taketh his abode in a different city just to confuse his enemies... |
| [Bottel] | ...works well on the rest of the populace too... |
| [Battel] | So pray tell us more of Count Gelder and fean Abbey. |
| [Lady de KupKake] | fean Abbey looketh after the dear little sheep. It be famous for its orphanage and chapel dedicated to St Baarbaarer... |
| [Quibbel] | St Baa-Baa-Ra? |
| [Lady de KupKake] | They have a relic - a shred of wool from the cloak of Joseph. On May 23rd they hold the large feast of St Toad... |
| [Battel] | St Toad? |
| [Lady de KupKake] | Scribe seems to have spilled some ink over the name, that be all I can make out.. |
| [Bottel] | The orphange probably deals with overpopulation by offering good household positions in the East. |
| [Bottel] | So all the money collected here goes to help Prester John fight off the Baa-Baa-Baa-Bearannians? |
| [Lady Lucrativa] | Well, there will be a small administrative fee, purely a nominal 10%, to cover the expenses of collecting and keeping safe the monies collected. |
| [Quibbel] | Yes, but... |
| [Lady Lucrativa] | And we will need to acquire a more substantial strong box to keep all the money in... |
| [Quibbel] | Yes, but that will cost money too... |
| [Lady Lucrativa] | And there will be the food & lodging of the 2 extra scribes to handle the paperwork of collecting and accounting for the money... |
| [Quibbel] | Yes, but... |
| [Battel] | And all that's estimated to cost about 60,000 gold pieces? That be far too much to spend on a system just to keep track of a list of names! |
| [Babbel] | Devil take Pacioli! |
| [Lady Lucrativa] | Of course we will need the finest quality mead for the management committee meetings... |
| [Quibbel] | Yes, but where will be they held? |
| [Lady Lucrativa] | They will be held at the Inn of The Golden Goblet. |
| [Bottel] | ...of course... |
