(Hey, where'd you get the picture of my butt from? I thought I destroyed all the copies.)
I was lounging and enjoying my valium high; when, suddenly, Kunax barreled out of the woods and pushed us all into the water. My shock was so great at this, that I involuntarily relaxed my sphincter and the last of the valium dribbled out (eewww!)
I was still high and found myself not being able to swim. I heard murmuring all about me. I couldn't make out the words; but this was no time to try, as I was about to drown.
I panicked. I began flailing madly. Vainly, trying to reach the surface. My lungs were aching. Blossoms of light began to burst in my vision. No, I can't die this way!!!
I felt a strange, slithering sensation in my ear. Suddenly, I heard a clear voice, "Stand up, idiot. The water's only 2 feet deep."
I stood up, and sure enough, the water was quite shallow. I looked about and saw Padma and Jadedflower giggling and pointing. Ahh, yet another embarrassing moment. Perhaps I should become the village outcast? Nah, not enough village remains to be outcast from.
I looked about and saw the tiger looking at us from the far side of the pool. It looked at us with a strange glint in it's eye. It began to move towards us slowly, as if stalking us. Uh oh.
I prepared to throw myself on the tiger to defend the ladies, when I heard a strange voice in my ear. It gradually coalesced from the various pants and rumbles (and in some strange way from the tiger's very body motion).
"Let's play" it said. "C'mon, human, you played well enough last night. Let's do it again."
What was this? I could understand the tiger? What was happening? Was this more side effects from the mushrooms? Maybe trying them wasn't such a good idea.
I said to the tiger, "Not now, tiger, maybe later. We've got more important things to do than play."
The girls looked at me like I was losing my mind. But that didn't matter, it only mattered if the tiger understood. Unfortunately, it didn't appear to understand a word I was saying.
All was quiet, except for the panting of the tiger, the splashing of the waterfall, and the sounds of fish hitting flesh as the fish madly lept from the water as though they wished to be free of it's confines. Padma and Jadedflower were pelted with fish, as was the tiger. Oddly enough none seemed to come my way.
The tiger drew closer...

The trio had soaking wet gotten back on there feet by the time I turned around, only Nexus was having problems much to he amusment of the other 2.
Finially Nexus got his dopie legs working, and no sooner was he standing before he jump forth in a challange, ready to rumble. Ofcause i accepted the challenge and with a mild yawn charge once towards the 3, tumpling Nexus down, but Padma wanted none of this and with a firm grip in the back of my neck pull me off Nexus.
Releasing and moving of an unharmed Nexus i lay my self down in the cool water with a lazy thump, and tries to catch a seemingly increasing number of jumping fish, by snapping them out of the air as they jump by.

(never read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? I thought it was about time you were able to speak. See Babel Fish)
As the tiger lay in the water, one of the flying fish found it's way into it's ear. Suddenly, the high pitched chatter that the humans made began to make sense. They were talking.

Jadedflower jumps up and down when hearing the words "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy", having read it many times, along with other Douglas Adams, she keeps hoping, but forgets the fact she's knee deep in water (how deep is a foot?) and slips...
The shallow waterbed rushes up to hit her.... thus becoming red with blood.
Padma says: "Oops... this has got to be a bad thing"
Kunax says: "What is it with Humans and getting hurt?!"

(Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, never read it, proberly never will, i have heard it thou 
)
Watching Jadedflower in amazment as she dives in to the water, as she sites back up in the shallow water, her nose begins to bleed, perhaps diving should be done in deeper waters.
Standing in front of jadedflower i lick the blood away, but jadedflower does not seem to like this as she tries to puch me away, perhaps I have bad breath.
Kunax says: hey this water is getting all to wet, how about we get back to shore, and whats the proberbilty of dinner dropping by, proberly the same as me losing my stripes.
(1 foot = 30.48 cm = 12 inches)

When the group reached the shore, they found the cat waiting for them there. Kunax promptly went over to it and nudged it so that it would groom him.
The cat, however, seemed to have other ideas.
"I had begun to despair that you would ever accept the translator fish," the cat purred, "Now that you have, we can get down to business."
The cat then began to relay a story about the ancient cat-like race that once inhabited this peaceful valley. He told how they had emigrated from a dirty, polluted planet full of humans that constantly squabbled and bickered over pointless things, such as morality, religion, political affiliation, etc... He told how they had discovered this plane of existence that existed above the "real" world of the humans, like the cream that seperates from a bucket of fresh squeezed milk. It told of how the cats had derived a system of stabilizing the aether (cream) in order to form a mass of land in which they might live their catty lifestyle in peace from humans. He explained how after a time, the cats had grown weary of life. That it just wasn't the same without kitty yum-yums from the humans hand. That the cats had to exert far too much of their precious energy into doing things, instead of lounging about which is a cat's perogative. He then explained how a gateway was opened to the former world so that a select few humans might travel to this land and resume the pampering that the cats thought of as their due. Unfortunately, it was too late for the cats. Their population was reduced. The humans that came through the portal were too few. The cat lifestyle was doomed unless something drastic were done.
The cats coerced the few humans that had come through the portal to build a vast underground hibernation facility. All the cats but one entered hibernation to await the time of Kitty Yum-Yums that would eventually come once the humans had raised themselves to the proper level. One cat remained. It's life extended by a constant supply of modified catnip. It was too await the day of Yum-Yums and then awaken the rest of cat society. But then, a foolish human had endangered the whole process. The power supply was disrupted. The stabilization engines were damaged. It is possible that the hibernation chambers were damaged as well (Yum-Yum forbid).
The cat is unable to enter the control chamber. The entrance to the catacombs has been destroyed by a dynamite-wielding Padma. The cat needs humans to clear the rubble so that it might enter the control panel and halt the catastophe.
Convinced by the cat's charm, I examine the rockfall and attempt to clear the rubble. Progress is slow and dangerous. Padma dresses Jadedflowers wound (she sure looks funny with a bandage on her schnozz) then asks her to bend over so she can administer the painkiller.
Kunax goes to the forest to hunt for food for the workers.
The cat rolls in catnip.

Kunax: That is the funniest map I have ever seen! LOL.
Day: ?
I have avoided the village for a while, having been out hunting, largely out of the overwhelming sense of guilt at having killed Persol, grinding him into hamburger and feeding him to the tiger. (page 4) However, passing by the village some days later I had seen Persol strolling about, obviously now feeling much better. Whew, what a relief.
On my return, laden with furs and pelts gathered from the hunting trip, I hear a rumble and crash followed by a distant scream. Landslide? I rush to the scene of this disaster and see rocks and boulders strewn about a cave. I can hear a muffled moaning from within!
Quickly I dig, dragging stones away as fast as possible. I shout for help. "Someone is trapped in here!" And I call out, to see if the person inside can hear. No immediate response, I must hurry. I dig faster.

The sun had set once me and cat finally got back to the group. Cat in a fit of megalomania had decided to jump on a horny male elephant, which in turn had decided we needed to be squashed.
The Elephant chased us all around the forest, for what seem like hours, trampling everything in its way, unfortunately the elephant lost track of us in a denser part of the forest allow us to escape and for Cat to get off my back where he had been hidding the entire time, hanging on to me while i did the running.
After being chased half way around the jungle, it was time for a little nap, which we did until dusk when a big deer had the curtsy to pass by on the near by game trail, after a short struggle, the deer was dead, now only remained the task for dragging it back to camp. Cat the fearless toad hunter also had something to chip in to the feast, he had cough a big ugly toad.
Unfortunately : crap word.

'the prodigal son returns to scivillage'
I returned to scivillage after a long time roaming the sciland. It was late and everybody seemed asleep. I went straight for my hut, and found it in the state I left it in.
I immediately started up my distillery. I would have a fresh batch of scirum in the morning.
I heard the tiger roar in the forest somewhere.
I roared back and got a response. But now it was time to sleep. I will scout the place in the morning.

Hey Spurious, can I also have some of that scirum? It´s really boring to hang around here and watch only four people do anything. (Counting Kunax to those people)
(a new batch will be ready tomorrow)
Then I´ll come around tomorrow.
Oooh, and for me too?
I felt the weight of the rocks pinning me down lessen. Someone was digging me out. Thank Yum-Yum, I thought. I had feared the worst. But, just when I thought I was about to be freed, I heard a loud roar. It sounded like a bull elephant. There was yelling and screaming and roars from both Kunax and the elephant that slowly receded into the distance.
I struggled against the weight of stone, but still I was trapped. Though lessened, the weight was still too great. Then, I felt the stones being moved once more. My rescuer had returned.
I gasped for help, "Here, I'm here." Eventually, the last stone was lifted from me. I struggled to my feet and turned to face my rescuer.
The cave was dark and I could barely make him out. He was tall and somehow oddly shaped. There was a strange glow emanating from him. Just a touch, not enough to discern his features.
I thanked him and extended my hands in friendship. The figure remained still and did not shake my hand. Suddenly, as if making up his mind, he lunged forward and grabbed me about the waist. His hands were hard as stone. He picked me up light as a feather and packed me over his shoulder (equally hard as stone). He carried me into the depths of the cave.
When he grabbed me, I experienced a strange shock that stunned me. I could not move. Eventually, I began to notice a growing illumination in the corridor. He set me down next to the wall and then knelt before a gruesome shrine.
I could see Coolskill and Persol (I think it was Persol in here so long ago) propped up against the wall. Their limbs constantly twitched and jerked as tiny electrical sparks danced about their bodies. They were bound by strange shimmering vines that grew from a larger vine that grew in the wall of the cave.
I could now get a closer look at my rescuer/captor. He appeared to be made from hardened clay. There was a leaf from the vine embedded in his chest. From his eyes, a hideous green glow began to emanate, as though he were gathering strength.
Thanks to the Babel Fish, I could make out his simple language. It was so alien to my thought, that it scraped across my mind, like nails on a chalkboard. "CoolCool... Bringer of Life... Source of all Life... Aid my thoughts... Give me your insights..." This is the best I could make of it. The effort to understand this gave me a worse headache than I had after the mushrooms. My vision began to dim.
I stumbled to my feet. My body lurched as I struggled to control my fryed nerve endings. Stars bloomed in my eyes.
The vines began to tremble as though reaching for something, greedy fingers tightening their grip. Thorns and flower buds began to emerge from them. They dug ever deeper into the flesh of the victims. The bodies were twitching ever more violently.
The last thing I saw as I made my frantic escape, at least I think I saw, was one of the buds unfurling. In the center of the vivid blue petals was an eye. It rolled about as though it were in a religious seizure. A low howl began to emanate from the very walls about me. The earth was shaking once more. I stumbled along, close to madness.
At last, I felt the cool breeze of the outside. I was close. A strange smell began to waft from the deeper parts of the cave, for some reason it reminded me of the ocean. After what seemed like years, I emerged from the cave and collapsed to the ground. The ground continued it's shaking. This earthquake was the worst one yet.
I glanced back to the cave. It seemed that it was done with cave-ins. All the loose rock must have collapsed already. The way was clear for the cat, but what about those things in there? What about the two villagers?
I crawled to my lean-to and fell into a deep sleep, exhausted from my efforts.

Day 'whatever you guys are up to'
Sexy blue here.
I've moved to the scivillage in my boat, with no memory for anything except the story of my name, my hippie clothing, my green sunnies, my backpack, and the recipe for pancakes. Stumbling into the village, i see noone, and feel disorientated. I feel a need for a home, and a sleep. Stubbling into a empty hut, i fall into a sleep, hoping the disorientation will lift tomorrow.

'order has returned'
The first thing I did after waking up was checking up on my new batch of scirum. It was good. I had spend weeks roaming sciland to establish business contacts. I would be exporting scirum and the licence to brew scirum all over sciland. I was a rich man now, but I would keep it a secret. Money brings out the worst in people.
I walked over to scivillage.
I thought I saw a glimpse of the tiger on my way to the village and I raised my hand in a gesture of greeting, but whatever I had seen was gone again.
When I arrived at scivillage I saw nobody around. 'Thats weird,' I thought, 'there should be people milling about doing their thing.' I went to the first hut and took a peek through the window. Someone was lying on the floor. I went to the next hut and once again a person was down on the ground. I decided to inspect this mysterious case a bit further. I went inside and looked around. Mushrooms on the table, half eaten...hmmm...strange. The same picture I found in all huts. Scivillagers had been consuming a certain kind of mushroom with vigour. I licked lightly one of the mushrooms. AHA, I had solved the problem. The whole village had been under the spell of hallucigenic mushrooms.
I knew what I had to do. I gathered all mushrooms and sprinkled them liberally with scirum. I them burned them. I found the origin of the mushrooms in a moist wet place in the forest and burned them too. I figured this wasn't quite enough to eridicate this pest. They would grow back. I plowed the soil and soaked it in scirum and burned it. Everything was sterile now. The hallucinations would be over now. No more mushrooms!
I mean, how could I sell any of my scirum in scivillage if everybody was addicted to mushrooms? The first lesson of marketing is to create a market for your stuff. I had just done part 1 of that.
I prepared a barbeque on the village square. Today I would provide everybody with free scirum. The first people started awakening from their hallucigenic comas and followed the smell of burned meat, scirum-cola, and other scirum based cocktails.
It was going to be a good party.

Hey, finally there is some action here. And a nice party going on. Well, good that I did not eat any mushrooms, I hate their taste. Hey Spurious, thanks for the scirum. I´m really glad you are here now.
