NNPack Summary - October 7
Title: Hold The Mayo
Date: Thursday Oct. 7 - 6:00 AM
Casey and Knightrose wake up to discover their clothes missing. Soul believes
the Pack has found some evidence - a half eaten hot dog in the very spot where
Knightrose's clothes had been. Nitenurse was up all night baking goods for the
Farmer's Market, but she didn't see or hear anything suspicious. Everyone offers
up clothes for Casey and Knightrose, but there is a shortage of shoes. Kelly
suggests they go down to the costume room and dig around for shoes. Soulseeker
informs the pack about a new store, the ‘Knight’s Guild Costume Shop’. Natalie
phones the NNP and informs Soul that someone has stolen all the clothes from her
apartment, and there is no sign of forced entry. Natalie gets nervous,
remembering Spark getting into her apartment. Soul snaps Nat out of it and asks
her if she told Nick. Natalie says yes and that Nick said he would stop by
'sometime tonight'. Soul orders Mel and Michelle to gather up some clothes for
Nat and take them over to her apartment.
Title: Liquid Gold
Date: Thursday October 7 - Around 7:30 AM
The NNers have all the tables set up outside, piled with goods for their
Farmer’s Market sale. Nitenurse complains that she couldn’t make the pumpkin
pies because the pumpkins were too stringy. Susan confesses that she didn’t know
squashes cross-pollinated. Soul solves the problem by calling them “Gourmet”
pumpkins, and doubles their price. Schanke shows up in lederhosen garb and say’s
he just breaking it in. Soul thinks it looks like it was slept in. Soul asks him
if some NNers can go with him to Oktoberfest. Schanke says sure, but it’s been
moved to Saturday because the captain cancelled all extra time off due to the
escalating missing clothes problem. Soul suddenly remembers that the NNP have
“evidence” and rushes away to get it. While she’s gone, Schanke buys 2 gallons
of maple syrup. Soul returns and hands over the baggie with the half eaten
hotdog to Schanke. Schanke, realizing he has no pockets, stuffs it into the
front flap of his lederhosen shorts.

I am, but I would love some help or a co-writer. Somehow, I think that
replacing a wardrobe like that will take all the help we can get. Not to
mention convincing Janette to leave the city in one piece.

Subject: Oktoberfest
*Not* in barfight, thanks. Mind you, it's past the deadline. Not that I
have any recollection of being asked anything about an Oktoberfest by anyone
anytime--and yesterday's digest didn't get here until well into today, too.
Clearly, the list hampsters need feeding.

Subject: WAR: Die-Hards: calling dibs
Oops, sorry. Forgot to put WAR: on the last message.
I'm calling dibs on Feliks Twist.
Also, the NNPack have asked for Schanke. Are they also doing Myra and
Jenny? *Not* calling dibs necessarily: if they do the whole family, that's
great!

This might sound silly, but in most places, Oktoberfest is celebrated in
September! It's because it's based on the different calender.

Yeah, mine's typically the last weekend in Sept. This one seems to usually
happen in October, though. http://www.oktoberfest.ca/ Blame Canada!

We had called dibs for having Schanke when he lost his clothes, however because
I'm having bizarre email issues, sending & receiving, that post never dropped in
my box. Rather than hold up our post any longer, I edited it to be ambiguous
enough (in true FK fashion <g>) so that anyone could have been using him at the
moment he lost his clothes.
I didn't call dibs on using Schanke or Myra, as it was my understanding that we
could use FK characters whenever we chose, being vague enough on the timeline.
That being said, Schanke and likely Myra, will be at the barfight at some point
on Saturday night.
Hope this helps.

Subject: WAR: Knighties Summary - October 8
The following summary was inadvertently left off of the 10/5 summary
Title: "Who Ever Heard of A Pink Cow?"
By Knightie Katrinka
Date: Monday, October 4
Time: Sometime after "Revenge of the Knighties"
Everyone used with permission. No real cows were hurt in this story.
Katrinks, Mindy and Gemsong arrive back at the Loft after doing much damage
to the Cousins motor pool. In tow is the helplessly hypnotized Cousin
Shelley who now thinks that she is a Knightie. When they enter Nick's place
they are confronted by a rather large, milk paste paper-mâché cow statue.
They paint the cow, whom they dub LaCowix, pink with purple polka dots,
dress it with a straw hat and write in yellow on the side "Knighties Rule,
General LaCroix Chickens Drool." Then they take photos of Katrinka, Gemsong
and Shelley standing next to the cow and send them off to the Chicken
Liberation Front of Toronto. These photos are quickly made into posters
that appear all over Toronto's streets. The CLF also take LaCowix to become
their "spokes cow."

The following summaries were inadvertently left off of the 10/7 summary
Title: "The Dread Pirate Queen" (1/2)
By Knightie Katrinka
Date: Thursday, October 7
Time: Night time, when most Knighties are asleep and Cousin Shelley is still
hostage.
Note: All Knighties used with permission.
Eowyn has a very vivid dream wherein LaCroix appears before her and tells
her that she is now the Dread Pirate Queen Eowyn and that she shall be a
Cousin and fight against everyone in the Loft. In the dream, Eowyn rebels
against being a Cousin and fighting the Knighties, but curiously does not
protest the pirate queen thing. Upon awakening, she is now the real Dread
Pirate Queen Eowyn! She goes in search of a weapon and finds an ancient
katana sword that she promptly places upon the chest of a sleeping bunny
named Katrinka. She wakes her and asks, "What are you doing in my Loft?"
Title: "The Dread Pirate Queen" (2/2)
By Knightie Katrinka
Date: Thursday, October 7
Time: Night time, when most Knighties are asleep and Shelley is still
hostage.
Note: All Knighties used with permission.
Katrinka, now awake, hops away as fast as her bunny slippers will take her
from the Dread Pirate Queen Eowyn. Shelley is confronted by the Queen and
pronounced normal. Mindy is awakened by the noise and Queen Eowyn
pronounces her a "matey" and asks if she will help the Dread Pirate Queen
rid the Loft of the vermin called Knighties. Nick appears and admonishes
the women that people are sleeping and they should tone it down a bit.
Eowyn rushes to his side. He quickly realizes that she is not of her right
mind and relieves her of the katana. Dread Queen Eowyn tells Nick about her
dream and of LaCroix's wish that she rid the Loft of vermin Knighties. Nick
looks deep into her eyes and asks her not to. Happily she agrees and starts
into a rather awful sea chantey, whereupon Nick disappears into his bedroom
for the day, locking the door behind him.

Summaries for October 8
Title: "Losing Clothes to the Sound of Not Music" (1/1)
Author: Katrinka and Brooksie
Faction: Knighties
Date: Thursday, October 7
Time: Sometime early in the morning
Knightie Katrinka had a weird dream, and in it there was a soft annoyingly
persistent noise. She wakes up swatting at non existent insects, but the
noise is still there. The very early riser makes herself some coffee, yet
still hears the noise. She goes to get dressed and discovers that all of
her clothes are missing. All she has to wear are her nightclothes of pink
bunny PJs and pink bunny slippers. At least they match her cute pink bunny
ears! The noises seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere at the same
time. She wanders around the Loft trying to locate them. Then she hears
her puppy crunching on something hard. Rani has found one of the devices
and is very happily destroying it. Retrieving it from the pup, least it
ingest the small plastic pieces, Katrinka can just about read
"Annoy-A-Tron", "Patent Pending" and "Made in China" on the back (in very
teeny tiny letters). Satisfied that the annoying noise has been found and
eliminated she is momentarily distracted by Nick, who has discovered that
all of his clothes are missing. Suddenly the annoying sound starts again,
and Katrinka grabs her bunny ears in dismay.
Title: "I Feel So Skin Pretty" (1/1)
Author: Brooksie
Faction: Knighties
Date: Thursday, October 7
Time: Early evening, after the Cousins story "Knightie Vs Food"
Brooksie wipes the lasagna, that was the kitchen catastrophe from Katrinka
and Shelley, off her face and vows revenge. As she stomps on an offensive
Annoy-A-Tron with much satisfaction, she comes up with a plan. She tells
Knightie Nat that she and Myra Schanke are going to take
Cousin-hypnotized-into-a-Knightie Shelley to a Skin Pretty meeting that
evening. Shelley is so taken by the activity that she decides to sign up to
be a Skin Pretty sales person. Using one of LaCroix's credit cards (whose
number she has memorized from War 12) she purchases her starter kit and
$2,000 worth of inventory. All of this is to be delivered to CERK in 2-3
business days.
Title: "When Knighties Wake" (1/1)
Author: Knightie Nat
Faction: Knighties
Date: Friday, October 8
Time: Morning; shortly after "Cousins: When Knighties Sleep"
Disclaimers: All participants used with permission.
Knightie Nat awakes only to discover the creative destruction that
Cousin-hypnotized-into-a-Knightie Shelley has wrought on the Loft. Yards of
duct tape in every color imaginable swathe the stairs banister on both
sides. Sparkly toothpaste figures and filigrees cover most of the walls of
the Loft. A large pile of bags, from Bed, Bath and Beer, containing neon,
glow-in-the-dark green and yellow sleeping bags, sit in the middle of the
Loft. And perched a top a large pile of cases of Mountain Dew, sleeps the
smiling Brightie Knightie Shelley. Nat is almost ready to forgive her for
all of the mayhem since she brought so much of Nat's favorite drink, but
then she spies Nick's titanium credit card clutched in Shelley's hand. And
upstairs, several Knighties succumb to the very slippery bathroom floor that
Brightie Knightie Shelley polished to perfection with the newly purchased
floor polisher. Then Erika spies a new, day-glo pink Limo parked outside the
Loft. Nat steps over the tangle of mangled old movie VHS tapes (another
mischief), and wakes Shelley and tells her to clean up all the mess, and to
take back all that she bought, except the Mountain Dew. The Dew stays.
