Subject: WAR: Losing My Socks. And Shirt. Et. Al.
Sunday
Fenix arrived at Merc Central just in time for a huge pizza delivery. Starving
after her red-eye flight, and literally dropping her luggage off in her room at
the hotel, she dug into the pizza with gusto. The 'gusto' quickly turned to
panic as she her mouth caught on fire. She ran for the sink and started drinking
cold water, which only made it worse. Someone handed her a milk carton "Drink!
Water only makes it worse!" She downed the milk then looked around. The other
Mercs were in an uproar, and the talk centered around the Knighties attack a la
habanero.
The mouth afire finally took the last of her reserves. She headed to one of the
unoccupied rooms, took off her shoes and socks and fell asleep for the next five
hours.
At three, she woke up feeling somewhat more alive and put her shoes on. She
vaguely remembered wearing socks, but didn't find any. Maybe she was still
tired. She headed back to the kitchen at Merc Central. The rest of the crew was
there, plotting their counter to the Knighties. She heard Merc Mommy on the
phone with someone discussing what she assumed was dinner plans. How nice that
the local grocery store delivered poultry.
"Hey, has anyone seen my socks? I took a nap but they disappeared." A bunch of
shrugs and shaking heads.
Fenix realized she should go back to the hotel. "Hey all, I'll be back tomorrow
night after my panel tomorrow." Absent minded waves followed her out the door.
Mouth still ablaze with the memory of pizza past, back at the hotel she accepted
the invitation by several of her conference-going buddies to go to the bar. The
drinking and socializing went on well into the wee hours, and Fenix tried
desperately to cool her mouth down with copious amounts of Dos Equis. Copious.
(Was there a mention of large amounts?) Sometime after last call, Fenix fell
into bed, fully clothed.
Monday morning, Fenix woke up with a raging headache, a mouth that felt like the
Sahara desert and tasted like a rat had died in it (thoughts of Libratsie danced
through her head) and she felt an extremely *urgent* call from nature.
Dragging herself out of bed and into the bathroom, after finishing her business
she looked in the mirror. *oh...my...gosh*. Mascara lending her a coon-mask and
purple lipstick smearing her right cheek, she stared at the neon pink t-shirt
she was wearing that said "Eat At Jake's!" There was a picture of a smirking
purple devil with a pitchfork seeming to poke at her ample assets. The neon pink
t-shirt clashed with the green, brown and blue paisley skirt she *did* remember
putting on yesterday.
"Geez, you'd never guess I actually work at a an upscale clothing store with
*this* outfit on!" She stripped to get into the shower. When she got out, her
head still ached but she felt nominally better. She brushed her teeth then went
to change. She opened her suitcase and...it was empty. Puzzled, she went over to
the closet. Also...empty.
She searched every corner of the room but there was not one stitch of clothing
in her hotel room. What the heck was going on?

For those of us without socks or other apparel, I thought this might be helpful
in our writing :)

Subject: Re: WAR: TO weather
Yes thanks, but are those temperatures in Celsius or
Fahrenheit? Those of us in the
USA really only understand Fahrenheit temperatures. I just did a
quick check on
a weather web site now, and it said Toronto is at 50 F and 10
C right this minute
(7:44 PM at Toronto time). So it looks to me as if that web site is
quoting to me in
Celsius.
Arletta
who took a college class wherein she had to convert from one to the other --
its multiply one temperature by 5/9 or 9/5 and either add or subtract 32.
ps. Ok i admit it was a college physics class

It is in Celsius. http://www.wbuf.noaa.gov/tempfc.htm is a decent
and quick conversion tool.

NNPack Summary - Monday, October 4, 2010, 8:00 AM
Getting Down to Business (1/1)
--------------------
Soul summons everyone out of bed and into her office. They arrive hung over,
with aches and pains, and left-over effects of the bad pizza. The lack of socks
has spurred foot ailments. The Pack realizes that Michelle & Susan still have
socks as they didn't arrive until Sunday. Michelle's socks are plundered by FL
Soulseeker. Susan had packed her socks straight from the dirty laundry, they
stink and no one wants them. Lacroix's missing clothes and the faction's missing
socks are discussed, but no one has any info. Soul assigns tasks re
investigating the anomaly and shopping for supplies. Some NNers plan on talking
to Natalie that night. The NNPack believes the pizza attack was a ploy by the
Cousins to frame the Knighties. Soul decides not to pass this information along
to the Knighties because they have enough angst to deal with. She states that
the NNPack will deal with it themselves. Soul immediately feels guilty about her
lavish spending.

Subject: WAR: Knightie Summaries for Oct. 4
KNIGHTIE summary for Oct. 4
1) "Nick's Pizza Problem"
by Knightie Katrinka
Time: October 2nd, sometime after Die-Hards: Sizzling Slices
An angry Ms. Harte, from the Ron Mills and Wesley women's shelter,
arrives at the loft to chew out the Knighties for being the ones to
send the garlic/hot pepper pizza to the shelter. (Actually, the
Die-Hards forwarded the pizza to the shelter, but it *had* originally
come from the Knighties. Not wanting to take the blame for their
innocent donation, the Die-Hards sent Ms. Harte to the Knighties.)
Nick is home and diffuses the situation with a well-timed "whammy"
and a $10,000 donation to the shelter.
2) "General Tso's Revenge"
by Knightie Nat
Time: Early evening, Oct. 3, during and after "Cousins: General Tso
Chicken To Go" and "Cousins: Got Milk?"
The Knighties leave the stinking loft with only Katrinka and Gemsong
to clean the mess and head over to a nearby War*Mart to shop for
socks and to get a bite to eat. While they are out, Kat gets an email
about a cleaning service and immediately contacts them. The Cousins
(in disguise) show up to "clean" the loft. Kat and Gemsong take Rani
(Kat's dog) out for a walk to meet up with the other Knighties. When
they all return, it's to a life-sized cow statue and a mess of truly
gargantuan proportions. After staying up late to scrub everything
down, the weary Knighties collapse in their beds.
3) "Silk Pajamas Just Don't Cut It!"
by Knightie Nat
Time: Early morning, Monday, Oct. 4
Nat wakes up to find all her clothes have gone missing, even her new
socks! The same thing happened to her best friend, Vickie. Unless
they can borrow some clothes that fit their plus-sized frames,
they're doomed to spend the rest of the war in black silk pajamas! Brrrrr!!
4) "The Revenge of the Knighties"
by Knightie Katrinka
Time: Sometime after we've cleaned up the mess the Cousin's made in
our loft! AKA the story General Tso's Revenge
Mindy came up with a plan to counter attack the Cousins. She posted
on several free sites on the Internet that CERK was giving away
thousands of dollars to anyone who would show up in a chicken costume
and chant the Nightcrawler's "nickname": Knighties. People showed up
in droves, chanting "Knighties" and demanding the promised money. The
Cousins had their hands full trying to convince the unruly crowd that
it was all a hoax. While the Cousins were preoccupied, Katrinka,
Gemsong, and Mindy decorated their vehicles with contact paper,
cookies, and Silly String, adding the final insult, a sticker on each
car that read, "Knighties Rule! Cousins Drool." As they were
finishing up, Cousin Shelley came out the back door. Mindy realized
that this was the Cousin who was highly suggestible. She hypnotized
Shelley and the Knighties convinced the Cousin that she was now a
Knightie, and they took her back to the loft.
5) "Late Arrivals - or - 'Hail, Hail, the Knighties Are Here!'"
by Erika, Brooksie, and Mari
Time: Monday, Oct. 4
Late arrival posts by the Knighties.

Subject: ADMIN: NOREVIEW Messages
If you got a message saying that I set you to NOREVIEW, it means that
you can now post directly to the list without my having to approve
your postings.
Turns out several people who are on the War Participants list have
never posted from their current addresses - so by default their
addresses were set to REVIEW and anything they posted would come to
me for approval before going on to the list. I sent the commands to
change that so all War participants can now post without delay.
If you have any questions or need any help with the list or your
subscription please drop me a line.
