The Age and Country Hotel - Part III; Evolution from the Glitch | Forums

Wisdom surfaces briefly, having felt a disturbance of the Farce. "Holy Mackerel!" quoth he, and descends into the depths once more....

Yes, I am alive. Sorry I have been so absent, but at least it has been for mostly good reasons. I mean, the reasons are all good, but some of it has even been good stuff, not bad stuff that gave me a good reason. Heck, you know what I mean. I mean, Hi, guys.

"What's wrong, TOOO?"

"I lost her signal again, Car. Too much interference."

Neko finishes her tuna and looks up. "I feel like we've been stuck down this well for a year! Isn't anyone going to say something?" she complains.

Bríd smiles and gently strokes the cat's head. "Neko, dear, don't be such a baby. These things take time. Besides, it's only been four months."

Marae is starting to wonder if she's dreaming. Four months to tell a story? Even if it is a long story...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Neko looks up from her tuna. "Did Marae just fall over? What's wrong with her?"

Bríd sighs. "She's just tired from all the excitement, Neko. I was waiting for her to wake up so I could start my story."

Marae, slumped in a heap on the floor in front of the couch, snores loudly. Tully reaches down and gently helps her back onto the couch, where she stirs slightly, snuggles into his shoulder, and then settles into a deeper sleep.

Tully brushes the hair from her face and examines her closely. Her expression is peaceful; a slight smile plays about her lips. "Well, at least she seems to be having pleasant dreams..."

Boppy stirs in the corner and rubs his eyes sleepily. "Whas goin on?" he asks drearily, "Is it story time yet?"

[T.O.O.O.]

OT: Since the original "Real Life Cafe" thread is long gone, I'm going to have to rely on your memories for this character....

When TOOO and Carlota returned to the Hotel, there was an unexpected - and a little disoriented - visitor.

"I don't believe it!" he said.
"Who is she?" Carlota asked.
"Kind of an old friend. She saved me from some of my donut-stealing so-called Friends," he explained. "She calls herself The Donut Fairy. But what's she doing here?"

[T.O.O.O.]

"A Donut Fairy? Are you serious?"

"Well, you see--"

"She looks more like Glinda the Good Witch than a Fairy. Besides, I don't think they even have donuts in Faerie."

"Well, probably not. But you see, people were stealing my donuts, so--"

"So, you Wrote a Donut Fairy. Oh, TOOO, how could you?"

"Um--"

"What else, did you Write a Coffee Fairy, too?"

"Well, as a matter of fact--"

[T.O.O.O.]

"Coffee?"

"Donut! What are you doing here? Where are we, anyways?"

"It looks like some kind of Hotel."

"Yeah - one that's been through a storm! How'd we get here, anyways?"

[T.O.O.O.]

"Coffee? Donut? Do you remember me? My name is TOOO - we met a long time ago. Oh, and this is my friend, Carlota."

"Nice to see you again, TOOO. And to meet you, Carlota. Do you know how we got here?"

"Maybe it was in error? After all, this is page 404!"

Sorry, guys - there was no way I could resist that one!
