Ushgarak
WWAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!


Whoa! What a rush!

Now, what the heck is going on here?

I was going with Edna to the bar... if this is a bar, Queeq has developed a strange taste.... what with tyhe huge beats and shrieking ghosts... very homely...

And do I remember seeing someone looking JUST like me?

Hmmm......

ratcat
OH God, he's hallucinating now.

Edna, I think you might have done permenant damage...

Ushgarak
And somehow, I can STILL hear RC's critical tones... good acoustics, I guess...

Edna_witch
Shrieking ghosts you say? Doesnt sound good to me!

ratcat
Actually, that may be queeq, having realised he left the door open on the Rancor cages...

Ushgarak
Ah, the memories of Edna's beautiful tones lify my spirits...

Mind you, HAVE a ship. Quite why I agreed to go with her... actually, it was obvious really.

Right, come to terms with things. What would my Master have said?

(Thinks)

"Why the hell did you sign the contract, you prat!?"

Hmm, he was always WAS grumpy.

You know, I'm sure the ground shouldn't be moving...

keokiswahine
* arrives in a screeming thump off Edna's extra broom*

waaaaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeoooooooooo

confused roll eyes (sarcastic) eek! smokin'

Edna_witch
Well sorry to say it but with the impressive performance your evil clone Uushgarak is giving, the chances of anyone missing you are pretty minimal! I do believe you are doomed to remain in hell for eternity! You did read the mall print at the bottom of the contract right?

ratcat
OK, he's lost it, stick with the clone.

keokiswahine
*hangs on to Edna's extra broom; broom has mind of its own, tosses keo around like a wet laundry bag*

gahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

confused evil face mad

Ushgarak
(Force pulls Keo down to the ground)

Keo! Thank the Force! Are you well?

keokiswahine
eek!
roll eyes (sarcastic)
*picks up self, shakess off cosmic ray dust*

confused

what a trip; where are we???? confused

Edna_witch
Well Keo! Tatwill teach you for stealing witch's property. And Ush perhaps I had better recap what it said beneath where you singned.

"In case of the above incident, be sure to have a fair maiden standing by to scream your name theough the land of the living and release the chains that bind you in your hell. There is no other release from the underworld! BE WARNED!"

Ushgarak
Can you hear something?

I'm not certain, Keo, old bean. Hang on, let me medtiate for a few mos...

Ushgarak
(Ushgarak mediatates... and receives inspiration from the Force...)

HEY! You... silly WITCH! That was a ONE PERSON SPELL! COUNT IT! ONE UNO EIN!

What has she done to me?

(looms arojnd at roaring fires, tormentd souls and big horned beasts)

Oh, riiighhht...

Gundark
I think you've taken a wrong turn. eek!

keokiswahine
wrong turn, where? confused

Gundark
The DSD was a left turn at Bespin, not a right. stick out tongue

Ushgarak
Ah, if only Master Gundark could advise me now...

Right then, Keo, bad situation all around... how do you think we can get out of here?

Then I will have to have VERY sharp words with Edna...

Gundark
(Ghostlike whisper) Use the force, Ush....let go, Ush.....

Ushgarak
Goo advice!

Keo, we must FEEL our way out of this one!

Gundark
(Mumbles in best Vader voice) The force is strong with this one....

Ushgarak
Keo, I feel bound to point out that that was NOT an offer of social interaxction in any way...

So then... let's stretch out and see how I coukld escape from this place...

Gundark
into the garbage chute, flyboy !

Ushgarak
Hmm... guess my force sense is a little cloudy... must focus...

Dim
Okay..I still have yet to figure out what this topic is about. laughing out loud roll eyes (sarcastic)

razman
Me thinks its an excuse for role-playing.

Gundark
Well.....Ush started it. (Best Solo voice) "its not my fault". laughing out loud

Ushgarak
Look at the end of the last bar and the start of the new one.

razman
Unfortunately, due to the page limits imposed by the crappy UBB cache, we can't.

Edna_witch
Ush I told you to read the small print! (They are posted back on the last page if you didnt see them! Now if only there was some way you could contact a fair maiden!)

Ushgarak
OK, Raz, reopen the bar, start to post, and read the review.

Fair amiden, eh...?

Gundark
Amiden ? Whats an amiden ? Is that like Amidala's alter ego ? Or a hideout for ami's ?

Ushgarak
It's a small spiky Mammal.

I shall look for a Fair Maiden as well, thrn...

Gundark
Is it in the squik family ?

Ushgarak
Maybe...

Gundark
Well we need to classify these things in the proper genus, you know. Especially if they're running around loose in the diner.

Ushgarak
Good job this is about as far from being the Diner as it could possibly be, then...

ratcat
Ush, there are some guys to see you. Say they're from the Galactic Health and Safety Commission.

Ushgarak
They traced me HERE?! Perhaps they are based here...

queeq
*Throatwobbler Mangrove flies in with queeq behind the controls*

Ah, here you are. I was missing out on some crucial clientele. Ush, wanna come back? That clone of yours is making improper business proposals to me.

Ushgarak
Queeq! Nice of you to come searching...

But the Force tells me I'm bound here until I find the solution... something to do with my name and fair maidens?

Go and tell Edna what's happened. She must be worried sick about me...

queeq
Oh, don't worry about her. She's having great fun with your clone. laughing out loud

ratcat
Fair, but no longer a maiden??? laughing out loud

Ushgarak
Sorry... clone?

ratcat
Oh, yeah, him. He's been very interested in Edna. Helped her unpack her things in her private chambers. Took her to dinner, bought her flowers, bought her an entire forest actually...

Ushgarak
Oh, I get it. Big joke on the thicko who didn't make it to the bar... seriously guys, how is she?

queeq
She's about to be married to your clone. Seriously. She felt you had undergone such wonderful transformation all of a sudden since she moved to the DS. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but she really felt you had changed for the better. So now she's getting married.

Ushgarak
Anger... growing... must... control... emotions...

queeq
Don't be angry, she looks VERY happy now. laughing out loud

Ushgarak
Well... ah... uh...

Oh, I HAVE to do something about this...

queeq
Why? Looks like she found her knight in shining armour at last.

Ushgarak
He's no Knight! He's an anti-Knight! And he's got my Witch!

Er... not that she's MY witch, of course...

queeq
Well, we all like him. He helps out in the bar, he's very friendly. A bit clumsy in killing off major customers, but he's very becoming.

Ushgarak
This psycho is ruining my good name!

queeq
Actually, I think he's improving it. Although, he's a tad odd. He seems to be putting me in a bad light on the DS. When he does... well, he dies. Then you MUST come back to comfort Edna.

Ushgarak
Uh-oh... I ahve a bad feeling about this...

Careful! If he's doing what I think he's doing...

queeq
What's that?

Ushgarak
Oh dear... bad bad bad... um... give him rope to hang himself with! Trying to directly stop him will be a VERY bad idea...

Dim
You snooze, you loose bud.

Sorry.. stick out tongue

Gundark
Well queeq darling, just use your force lightning on him. evil face

ratcat
Does that come overhead lifters, and some four-barrel quads?

Oh sorry. that's Greased Lightnin' laughing out loud

Gundark
(Flings cigarette on ground, crushes it with shoe) "Tell me about it, stud."

keokiswahine
*picks up Gundy's discarded cigarette and puts in cigarette receptable*

let's not litter, please; must not deface our natural beauty, but feel free to bleed it out of RC. laughing out loud big grin

ratcat
Keo, Charmed I'm sure.... laughing out loud

You're the one that I want (you are the one I want), ooh ooh ooh, honey
The one that I want (you are the one I want), ooh ooh ooh, honey
The one that I want (you are the one I want), ooh ooh ooh
The one I need (the one I need), oh yes indeed (yes indeed)

Ushgarak
Hey! Stop putting me off! I'm trying to concetrate here!

Edna_witch
Fair but no longer a maiden? Excuse me but what exactly are you insinuating RC?

Ushgarak
Let's not get caught up in that again...

Dim
Yeah..just ignore it.

Ushgarak
Now then... Edna must be the key to escaping this place...

Dim
Yeah, stick with her...she'll protect you.

Ushgarak
If only I could communicate with her...

Gundark
Maybe you need to try the Vulcan mind meld. (Oh finti is gonna hate me for that one.) stick out tongue

Ushgarak
She'd need to BE here for that to work.

Gundark
Well there's only one thing left to do. Put you in carbonite.

Ushgarak
No no no, I know I CAN get out of this one...

Gundark
No way man. Vader is here with a bunch of stormtroopers and a couple of ugnaughts. You're going in, baby !! evil face

Ushgarak
I VERY much doubt Vader is at the strange and mysterious place...

Ushgarak
(Ushgarak, meditating, has finally managed to sense the bar)

OH MY GOD!

EDNA! EDNA!!! THAT'S NOT ME! STAY AWAY FROM HIM!

ratcat
*Ghostly Voie*

~~Use the Force Ush, use the Force~~

Ushgarak
HE'S BUYING HER A DRINK! OH MY GOD!

And... SHE HIT HIM WITH A BOTTLE! That's worth a KISS! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

ratcat
~~Reach out with your feelings~~

Ushgarak
What could possibly get me back there... something to do... with me...?

Ushgarak
DAMN! He has her too distracted...

Phinney! PHINNEY! You HAVE to tell her! TELL HER TO SCREAM OUT MY NAME! QUICKLY!

phinney6
ush u trapped here give me a sign.

Ushgarak
PHINNEY! Thank God you can hear me! Quicky! You must get Edna to shout out my name at the bar! My clone will try to stop you! Be careful!

Ushgarak
Ok, Keo, we're out of here! Let's go!

(Braces)

keokiswahine
*flashes lightsabre, grabs Ush, and takes off* smokin'

ratcat
~~The Force will be with you - Always~~

phinney6

queeq
So now I'm all alone here.... talking to myself.... hmmmm... I'll just wait here then, shall I, sir? Yes...

Dim
*moves away slowly from queeq*

I told you not to eat those tulip bulbs..

ratcat
Leave him there, he can do less harm.

queeq
Harm? Moi? Whatcha talking about?

Besides, I am everywhere.... there'll be no escape for you this time.

Dim
He is a god...a great tulip god.. laughing out loud laughing out loud

finti
Queeq a god, oh my go....hmm pull the plugs on the dijks. big grin cool

queeq
Go ahead, turn me into Neptune. big grin

ratcat
OK, who was the god of chaos then?

queeq
I am that in my spare time. laughing out loud

ratcat
Set
(Seth, Setekh, Setesh, Seti, Sutekh, Setech, Sutech)

Egyptian god of chaos who embodied the principle of hostility if not of outright evil. He was associated with foreign lands and was the adversary of the god Osiris. Seth was usually depicted in human form with a head of indeterminate origin, though said to resemble that of an aardvark. He had a curved snout, erect square- tipped ears and a long forked tail. Sometimes he was represented in entirely animal form with a body similar to that of a greyhound. He was said to be the son either of Nut and Geb or of Nut and Ra, and the brother of Isis, Osiris and Nephthys. Nephthys was sometimes given as his consort, although he is more commonly associated with the foreign, Semitic goddesses Astarte and Anat. Despite his reputation, he had an important sanctuary at Ombos in Upper Egypt, his reputed birthplace, and had his cult was also prominent in the north-eastern region of the Nile delta.

For a time during the third millenium BC, Seth replaced Horus as the tutelary deity of the pharaohs. However, the story of Seth's murder of Osiris and subsequent war with Horus gained currency and Horus was restored to his original status. The war with Horus lasted eighty years, during which Seth tore out the left eye his adversary and Horus tore out Seth's foreleg and testicles. Horus eventually emerged victorious, or was deemed the victor by a council of the gods, and thus became the rightful ruler of the kingdoms of both Upper and Lower Egypt. Seth was forced to return the eye of Horus and was himself either castrated or, in some versions, killed. In some versions Seth then went to live with the sun god Re, where he became the voice of the thunder. In the Book of the Dead Seth was referred to as the "lord of the northern sky" and held responsible for storms and cloudy weather. Seth protected Re during his night voyage through the underworld against the Apophis-snake. On the other hand, Seth was a peril for ordinary Egyptians in the underworld, where he was said seize the souls of the unwary. Among the animals sacred to Seth were the desert oryx, crocodile, boar, and the hippopotamus in its aspect as a destroyer of boats and of planted fields. The pig was a taboo in Seth's cult. The Greeks later equated Seth with their demon-god Typhon.

Ushgarak
You missed out the important spelling, which is Sutekh.

Stories aboyut the Set-meister, quite my favourite ancient God, go on forever. Some unpleasant stuff with lettuce...

Dim
Interesting...

closing topic.. laughing out loud

ratcat
Oh great, now he thinks he is some kind of god.....
