      hahaha, well fuck it, we had better ask Sam about the bandages, you ask him Becky, said Tina.

      No you do it, Tina, said Becky

      Sam has been calling me Saint Tina lately, said Tina

      Oh for fucks sake Saint Tina, okay I will do it, said Becky

      Do you think it suits me, you know the “saint” thing? I rather like it. Sam is such a sweetie-pooh said Tina.

        Becky, what is Sam talking about with all those stinky juicy bandages?

        Fucked if I know, Tina, I was hoping you could tell me!

          oh, well, it should be Jo, without an “e” I guess, said Tina. Hmmmm shall we just delete it then? It’s ages since I have deleted anything, and we can’t have it not making sense, she added, trying to keep a straight face. :face-plain:

          SCHPOOOOOOOH!

          In the saloon everybody became silent.

          That noise was so awful.

          What could it possibly be?

          As Jo entered the saloon, he was startled by the unusual quietness of it. And he was even more startled to see Mc Gaughran covered with bandages, filthy and juicy bandages. He seemed quite paralyzed with terror. Did he see something horrid? He was coughing harshly.

          Jo couldn’t help but laugh. And every one in the saloon began shyly to laugh also.

          :multimedia: Marvin Scrozzezi was considering a script that had been sent to him by his friend.
          Betty, his assistant, had insisted that he reads it…

          Seeing his current movie, it couldn’t be any worse in any case.
          The title of the script cracked him up.

          Ogregan, the Origeans

          Marvin giggled, almost spluttering his smoking chai on the script.

          He started to read the first paragraphs.

          FADE IN:
          EXT. WOODS
          A big humphing man plunges into the woods. Twigs slap at him,
          but the sound of gunfires keeps him going. Sheriff Marshall is
          taking the lead, but an auburn haired man plunges into the woods
          before him, followed by one dark-haired one. They are obviously
          brothers. The older one is ELVIN STREWN, he is following his
          younger brother with the lopsided hair, JAY STREWN.
          JAY is shooting at the fugitive, ALDO MC GALLIGAN, a local
          mobster known as the OGREGAN.
          
          Gunfire explodes in trees near the STREWN brothers, shot at them
          by MC GALLIGAN, and they dive and roll into hiding under a
          palisade.

          Interesting stuff, wonders Marvin… That mobster looks like a fascinating character…

          Flipping though the script he found page 57 another catching bit of reading…

           DISSOLVE TO:
          EXT. PROSPERITY BANK ; SHOT of a Texan bank on a quiet street.
          INT. PROSPERITY BANK
          There are three customers, male. Enters a MOTHER and her SON.
          TELLER#1: What can I do for you Mrs MC GALLIGAN?
          MRS GALLIGAN to her SON who is drawing on her dress: ALDO, will
          you keep still for a moment, good for nothing!

          Pfff, Marvin sighed, feeling bored.
          Not long after, he was sound asleep, snoring loudly on the comfortable chair.

          Ted was quite fond of Ogrean.
          Twilight was a bit sorry for the sheriff, for she had thought him a good guy at first,… whatever that means… but obviously he was a bit blinded by the slickness of the slimy condescending Pompousaur.

          But something interesting had happened this day, and she wondered how it would change things again.
          Apparently, from what she had caught from the scene, Ted had left the saloon in a cold rage, and it was quite obvious that the Pudgeon was a bit distraught… What could have moved the jovial sheriff like that?

          When she and Anna were changing clothes behind the scene after the representation, Anna started to talk quite freely and unexpectedly about the accident.

          — That Marshall guy is not as silly as he seems…

          As she was more talking to herself, Twilight didn’t answer.

          — What d’ya reckon? Anna asked more directly
          — Oh me? I don’t really know what happened…
          — Don’t play dumb with me, girl. You’re smarter than you wanna show.

          Twilight took some time to ponder…
          — I don’t think that Ogrean tried to bribe the sheriff, not as obviously…
          — Yeah…
          — Apparently, he started to explain the sheriff who he was supposed to arrest, and that didn’t please him the least.
          — More likely, yes. Definitely sounds like him…
          Anna?
          — Yes?

          Twilight almost wanted to tell her how she did understand Anna and how it must have been difficult for her with that child from Mc Gaughran, but she couldn’t express all of that.

          Terry is sweet.
          — Yes he is, he’s a lovely boy. I love him so much despite…
          — I know.

          When she came back to their ranch, Twilight felt relieved somewhat about what had occurred. Perhaps that this era of heavy cloaked ruthless order incarnated by Ogrean was coming to an end.
          She was a hopeless dreamer.

          Beattie and Leonora had finished unpacking their belongings, and had rearranged the meager furnishings of the little white washed cottage. There was one item as yet unpacked: a sturdy wooden crate.

          What are we going to do with them, Bea?

          Hmmm? Beattie looked up from the computer. Oh, the bloody skulls. Well, not on the mantelpiece that’s for sure! We’ll have to hide them again. How about in the old bread oven outside?

          There’s an idea, replied Leonora. Give us a hand then, Bea

          But Beattie was busy tapping away at the keyboard. Well, what a coincidence! she cackled, turning round to face Leo. Bert’s found another one!

                    I’m starting a new discussion if you find some interesting message in the Word Cloud of our energy deposits.
                    Or poems, or nonsense…

                    Feel free to indulge :p

                    From wikipedia on scrying : Scrying or crystal gazing is the occult practice of using a medium, most commonly a reflective surface or translucent body, to aid perceived psychic abilities such as clairvoyance. The media often used to “see” are water, polished precious stones, crystal balls, or mirrors.

                        Another funny sync tonight, my gaze was attracted by one of the ads on the sidebar about a site to share maps.
                        On that website, clicking from one map to another, I got myself on that page

                        And the icon I clicked on was a restaurant named “chez Georges”, near the street “rue du Renard” (street of the fox).
                        And the user name is Anita Pand(jaitan)… :-o

                        Sirielle looked through the crystalline window.

                        A humpback whale was passing by. Sirielle loved the song of the whales. Gorgean whales like this one were males, singing all during the rut to attract females miles away. Every season they would keep most of the same music, adding variations at times to the melody. This one was a sly one, Sirielle could tell. With its beautiful purulent budgeonic spots on its back, it was an old mighty male whale that she had seen already the past seasons, but its song had changed ever so slightly. It had probably plagiarized some of the most successful songs from other whales to become more attractive and that would make him a bit over the top.
                        At least, the females had a good parade for such insistent huge males, they could just put themselves upside down, close to the surface, so that the indelicate male could not have access to the holy of holies.
                        Sirielle felt so close to the whales.

                        Today, she had noticed the first changes on her body. She was growing gills, and soon would be able to breathe underwater. She was already a proficient swimmer, from a young age, as her hands and feet had grown swimfins. But the most interesting modification wouldn’t occur before a certain age.
                        When she had entered the room of Crystals, she had been a bit disappointed. She had expected some great ceremony with old wizened long-bearded robed priests to operate the crystals, but there had been only a young man not much older than herself, and a distracted middle-aged woman.
                        The Crystals had the ability to beam some specially focused light and provoke realignment of the patterns of the body. It was like the vibration carried by the light and enhanced by the crystal would be modifying the vibrational quality of her organism, and make it change itself quite naturally from the inside.

                        She couldn’t wait to go out in the oceanic depths and test her newly grown organs to swim with the huge cetacean.

                          December 3 rd

                          ( Hey, that’s 12.3, might be a hint for growth… Yurick)

                          A communication about coordinate points, and how to travel between idea clusters

                          As the story starts to develop in a rapid and very intertwined manner, much like waves in the ocean, overlapping and rippling from and to many directions, Yurick became concerned that it may be difficult to keep track of, or rather to retain an ability to graciously navigate in it.

                          Let us imagine for a moment. Take your own life. It is composed of a multitude of moments. Your construct of linear time gives you the impression that there is a continuous succession or stream of moments.
                          In a manner of speaking, it is easier for you to grok the concept of multiple points of attention for your naturally associate them with your space. You can easily envision your many focuses happening all at once in a variety of places, towns or countries, and having a possibility to zoom in and out, so that to encompass more than your single current focus.
                          But what you do in engaging your conceptualization with your focuses would be equally valid were you to engage it in relation to that single focus that is you, in all of its moments of actualization.
                          But that would be far less familiar, as you identify quite strongly with that construct of time.

                          As that story unfolds, you discover that there are an infinity of points of attention dispersed in many many comments, and one comment can include many more than one point of attention itself. What you would be tempted to do, for it is something that is very automatic in your current associations, would be to attempt to draw lines between the points, to recreate a linearity, and thus facilitate your understanding of a certain action.

                          This is unnecessary and within your current movement of expansion of awareness would be counterproductive.

                          But you are familiar with that concept of coordinate points. For most of you, you once again associate them strongly with the space continuum, but they could be used in many many other situations. That story being one of them.
                          The coordinate points are in a manner of speaking, conglomerate of very coherent energy; they would not be “points” per se, but rather high concentration of these points of attention that your attempt to link together.
                          As such, they become the links that you are in search of, for in that drawing of energy points of similar expressions, they also become passageways between the associations that the points are linked to.
                          As a matter of fact, the “point” that you come to identify to the concentrated cluster of points would rather be a tone representative of that coherent energy that you can use to activate the links contained within that cluster of points.

                          That would be the reason why Yurick, in coming to understand that concept, has slightly adapted the original cloud of tags in the story, so that it can expand and be used to access the coordinate points that the tags are, quite simply.

                            Arona finally managed to fall into a restless sleep.

                            She dreamt she was walking down a narrow alleyway between a row of old brick houses. A woman hanging multicoloured shawls on a washing line called out to her.

                            Where are you going? asked the lady. Are you lost or something? Do you need some co-ordinate points?

                            oh no, said Arona, I am just checking out the other side. I heard there is chocolate over there. It is through that gate I think.

                            The lady recoiled in horror. The other side! NO, you don’t want to go to the other side. I went to the other side once and I was never the same again. They all say I am mad now. No stay here and help me with the laundry.

                            Arona hesitated. A rabbit, a lynx and a toad rushed down the alleyway. Woooooo Hoooooo, they shouted. We are going to the other side toooooooooooooo.

                            Mad, said the woman shaking her head, completely bonkers I am afraid, and she threw fairy dust on Arona.

                            :fleuron:

                            Arona wakened from her strange dream feeling oddly refreshed. It was morning. She started making her way happily back towards the cave, anxious to see her friends again.

                            Thanksgiving, 1847

                            That last business trip in British Honduras had proven fruitful to Aldous. It had almost made him forget about the blue bull of the Disperso family.
                            Because Aldous was a collector. No one truly understood what were his motivations, but he was driven by the highest ideals. Some treasures weren’t deserved by the profane, he was thinking as he was munching on a tender juicy turkey leg.
                            He belched with profound depth.
                            Yes, he was doing everything with utmost depth and dedication.

                            Take that blue bull for instance… A gift from Indian officials he had managed to have them bring here. Its real place was in a zoo, with a small fee at the entrance of course, but most importantly some information on how it was acquired and by whom. Definitely not in the farm of some hillbillies just because they have happened to win that stupid rodeo contest.
                            In any case, he would put that right again in due time.

                            Let’s think of more pleasant things. Like these mahogany traders who had came into contact with remote Mayan tribes. Mahogany was nice, but Mayan treasure were even more interesting.

                            some writing by Twilight

                            Jo fixed me up a swing. It hung from the old elm tree out the front. That’s my favourite place. I just sit there rocking and thinking, and thinking and rocking. Sometimes I would weave stories or sometimes I would dream about when I am real famous. I know I will miss Jo and Elroy, but then I cheer myself up thinking how, when I am rich, I will visit them and give them money and presents and how fine that will be.

                            Elroy and Jo don’t know about my stories or how I love to write. I ain’t much good. I didn’t get much schooling but Elroy helped me some and then I would try and teach myself the rest. The only book we have is a big old bible. That is written in real fine words. The part I like the best is a song that Solomon wrote. I don’t know how the tune went but the words are real nice. It is real romantic too. I dream one day some man will use words like that to me. Not like those drunken slobs round these parts. Anyway, that’s how I know I am not much good, because I can’t write nothing like Solomon. But I try anyway.

                            Yesterday I was sitting out on the swing rocking and thinking and young Dan from the ranch over the way turned up on his horse. He looked real hot and red and sweaty. Mostly though, he is real fine looking, and I confess I have a soft spot for him. So I leapt off the swing real quick and straightened myself up and bit my lips to make them all big and red. I wanted him to see I had developed some in the last little while.

                            Where’s your brothers, Twi? he said to me.

                            I felt he didn’t seem to be giving me the appreciation I hoped for, so I did a little flick of my head and gave him the look I had been practising. I had seen the other girls do this look to the men at the saloon, and it seemed to work a treat. I gestured at the same time, real slow and casual, and I said “Out the back, Dan.” in a honey voice.

                            He started to ride off, like he was in a hurry. But then he stopped. My heart did a little flutter. He said to me, “You know Twi, the boys at the ranch were talking about you. And it wasn’t the sort of talk should be said about a lady”.

                            When Dan said that, I felt he had kicked me in the guts. I wanted to gasp. But I am plenty used to putting up with things and not showing my true feelings, so I just looked at him real cold. Then I spat. I have been practising my spitting and I can do it real good now. Nearly as good as Jo.

                            “I am just telling you Twi he said. I thought he would say more, but he seemed to reflect for a moment, then shook his head and off he went in a hurry to find the boys.

                            Elroy and Jo looked real bothered when I saw them later. I knew when to hold my tongue so I did not give them no smart talk, and I cooked up a real fine bean dish for their supper. It was real quiet over the table that night. Truth was, I still felt mighty bad over what Dan had said.

                            I confess I felt some cares and sadness on me that evening when I went to bed, and found I could not sleep. I got out my diary and thought I would do some writing.
                            I tried to write what my name, Twilight, means to me. My real name is Tina Willemine Ivy El Disperso. I always been called Twi. Then Hank at the saloon, he says one night, “I am calling you Twilight and that sort of caught on. It made me feel special, having my own stage name.

                            I started writing. Lavender blue sky bleeding into the dark. I thought that sounded quite a good start to my writing, so feeling a bit encouraged I went on some more: Twilight is a magic time. It is the time I see things that aint there, but maybe they could be. My eyes play tricks on me in the half light and I feel like I could be anyone. I feel like I could be someone who I isn’t. Twilight is the time of promises. The promise and mystery of the night to come. It is inbetween time when you know the ordinary stuff could be magic.

                            I stopped. I weren’t never going to be able to write like Solomon. I knew that and I felt real bad. At least I could dance though, and that was going to make me famous. But that thought could not cheer me up this night and I confess I cried myself to sleep like a baby.

                            #497

                            Hank, the saloon pianist, was hopelessly in love with Anna.

                            But she had so many wooers, I hadn’t dared say how much he loved the blond dancer. For fear of public ridicule mostly, as he didn’t think he was very good-looking, with his horse-face… Not that she really cared with all these men having gone into her bed. But he couldn’t take the risk. Better a life in her shadow than taking a chance and spoil everything.

                            He had always been here to care for her.
                            When that young one had came to dance too, he’d been the one to make it easy for them. Or he thought he did…
                            What was annoying Anna the most was that the newcomer would be using a blond wig and that might eclipse her. Of course, that wasn’t what Anna had said, but Hank knew her well enough to understand.
                            He was the one coming up with that idea of Twilight as a stage name for the other one, keeping the shining Dawn for Anna. Like sisters, yet worlds apart. Apparently they both had found the idea great, and even if for Hank, Dawn and Twilight were different movements of the same seesaw, for Anna, it was pretty obvious that Dawn came before Twilight.

                            When Anna had been fat with her blue-eyed baby boy, he had been providing her some shelter for some time. It was so obvious for everybody that nothing could happen between them… Anna was oblivious, trying to get herself a proper husband. She had almost convinced that Jo that he was the father. Hopefully Hank had thwarted the attempt. He had his own idea of who was the father, and that wasn’t something to be proud of.
                            And Hank had better keep his mouth shut, as the guy in question wasn’t one to allow being tickled on such sensitive subjects.
                            In the end, Anna got fed up with all his attentions, called him a sticky leech. How ungrateful…

                            Now she was with that old bloke… A fat half-bald guy with long unkempt greyish greasy hair who had lost his wife, eloped with their former neighbour. The story had provided a good laugh to everyone who was well aware of it. But somehow Anna took compassion for that Manuel — who was nicknamed the Bar Rook due to his pressing penchant for alcoholic beverages.

                            Hank was finding Twilight more interesting… Free of romantic bonds and dazzlingly beautiful as she was growing.
                            Once in the beginning of her representation he had found her crying behind the bar, after having been hauled around by Anna once again.

                            She had told him an interesting story about her wig. It was a gift from her mother’s foster sister. The two women had suckled the same Ol’ Granny Lucy and had kept very close over the years. But her mother’s foster sister had a tough life, and she made a business of selling her golden hair to make wigs. Twilight’s was one of those. A gift from this aunt, which was all the more dear and precious to her. She had said to Twilight that it would draw to her good fortune, and fame too…
                            It was easy for Hank to imagine that to become true.
