Subject: WAR: **** Reminder **** Midpoint of War
We (the royal we) would like to remind everyone that the war ends at midnight as
the 16th becomes the 17th. This will give players another Saturday to wrap up
their storylines and submit their final posts to fkfic.

Subject: WAR: NNPack Summary - October 8th
Inklings of Doubt (1/1)
Fri. Oct. 8 - Early Morning
- - - -
Michelle and Susan found their clothes missing when they woke up. Susan reveals
that she hates shopping, especially for clothes. They go down to the Theatre’s
costume shop to look for clothes. Susan takes a pair of jeans and torn flannel
shirt off a prop scarecrow while Michelle, who has taste, continues a lengthy
search. Susan leaves when Mel and Casey come downstairs. The three girls discuss
the farmer’s market, mention that almost everything was sold, and that there was
plenty of cash for this War and even a future one. Casey thinks about the
meeting the NNPack had the previous afternoon to discuss war events. She starts
wondering if the presence of all the factions is the reason the missing clothes
problem is escalating.
Casting Call for Cousins
Fri. Oct. 8 - Afternoon
- - - -
Some members of the Pack head out to payback the Cousins for what they believe
was an attempt to frame the Knighties re the pizza delivery. They drive their
rental party bus to CERK and park outside. Using a tape of Lacroix’s voice, they
lure three cousins into the bus. Inside, the Cousins drink, relax and dance to
‘Love Shack’. NNer Soul gives them all a special drink and they fall asleep.
While asleep, she puts a cast on Cousin Brandi’s right arm and leg, Cousin
Magneto’s left arm and leg, and long arm thumb spicas on both of Cousin Rhonda
arms. The NNers paint pink and white hearts, Nick&Nat tattoos, and NNPack
slogans on the casts. With the Cousins still aboard, they hit the road again.
The cops pull the bus over for speeding and just before the cops leave, the
Cousins wake up and start shouting. Everyone is charged with disturbing the
peace. The Cousins get angry when the cop laughs at them as they try to explain
the war, lost clothes, and loyalty to Lacroix. They get a!
n additional charge of drunk and disorderly. Everyone is hauled off in a paddy
wagon and the bus is impounded.

Subject: WAR: Die-Hards: Thanksgiving dinner
The Die-Hards are going to be having Thanksgiving dinner on Monday evening.
By the time everyone had put in their own ideas for the menu, it turned out
that--if we made the lot--we'd have far more than we could ever eat
ourselves. So the suggestion has been made that we invite everyone else.
If you want to come to dinner, please contact me. If you want to bring a
favourite family recipe--make sure to say so! A few words about yourself
would also be helpful.
Please, as Don put it, "No tricks, attacks, or traps...just a lot of good
food and camaraderie." After all, it is Thanksgiving.

Summary for Oct. 9
1) Title: "Honey Bear" (1/1)
Authors: Brooksie and Gemsong
Date: October 8
Time: midday, and much after the UF "Hurts So Good"
Gemsong, in her teddy bear persona, sniffs the scent of honey in the
loft. Now that the loft was rid of the rancid milk smell and scents
associated with Katrinka's exploding cooking ... she could smell the
delicious scent. She wanders around the loft, upstairs and down,
looking for the honey. Meanwhile, Lisa was checking several days'
worth of mail and found one addressed to the Knighties with a return
address of the UF. The note was sticky with open honey sticks that
had been placed inside. Gemsong grabs the honey sticks! Marla reads
the note in which the UF says that they've gotten word of an upcoming
attack on the Knighties by the Ratsies, and wanted to warn us. There
was a PS from Psych, thanking the Knighties for the pizza.
2) Title: "A Quick Flight Home"
Author: Brooksie
Time: Evening, Oct. 8
Brooksie had to return home for the weekend to teach at the stable
where she works. The Columbus Day weekend was likely to be an extra
busy one, with people wanting to come out and ride. Marla drove her
to Pearson Airport, since she was flying commercial on this leg. As
she was going through security, the checker found an Annoy-a-Tron in
her handbag and Brooksie worried that she might be considered a terrorist.
3) Title: "Of Carrots and Honey"
By Knightie Katrinka
Time: BACKDATED: The morning of October 6
Katrinka was a Knightie with a mission. Besides her craving for
carrots, she was distressed by a smell in the loft that even a
Ratpacker would shy away from! Just then, her one-eyed brindle pup,
Rani, brought her a pail filled with the toxic-smelling, rancid
milk-paste left by the Cousins after their attack in the post "Got
Milk?". After disposing of the pail, Katrinka was dismayed to find
the smell was not gone from the loft. She enlisted Gemsong's help in
finding the rest of the smelly stuff by offering to take her to the
Bakery, Rene's, for honey buns when they were finished. After two
hours, all the pails had been found and disposed of, and Kat and Gem
had finished scrubbing the floors to rid the loft of the stink. As
promised, Katrinka took Gemsong to Rene's for treats.
4) Title: "Rene's Bakery"
Author: Katrinka
Timing: BACKDATED: Morning of the 6th of October. Right after "Of
Carrots and Honey"
Katrinka and Gemsong arrive at Rene's Bakery. Katrinka, the bunny,
orders carrot cake with carrot icing, and carrot juice. Gemsong, the
bear, ordered honey buns and honey tea before singing "The Bear Went
Over the Mountain." While waiting for their food, Katrinka overhears
the Die Hards at one table, and UF at another, whispering disparaging
remarks about the Knighties' costumes. Deciding to get a little
revenge, Katrinka slips out to the parking lot to decorate the cars
of the Die Hards and the UF with "Knighties Rule" stickers. When she
returns, her warm carrot cake awaits. A cabaret singer comes out to
perform, quite off-key, but Katrinka doesn't mind since she's almost
completely tone deaf.
5) Title: "Surveillance A-Foot(age)" (1/1)
Author: Knightie Nat
Time: morning, Saturday, Oct. 9
Knighties Lisa, Mindy, and Sandra discuss over breakfast how they
were able to tell that the "cow" attack on the Knighties was
perpetrated by the Cousins and not the Vaqueras. Mindy and Sandra
explained to Lisa that it was the *General* in "General Tso's Chicken
Cleaning Service" that tipped them off (besides the Vaqs are slackers
-- look how long it took them to respond to the pizza attack!).
Meanwhile, Nat goes up to the roof to see what's new in Nick's ham
shack and finds a room full of surveillance equipment (and another
Annoy-a-Tron, which she smashes). She brings down the tapes from the
recorders and the Knighties see proof positive that the Cousins were
responsible for the "Got Milk" attack. But when they check the tapes
for klews to who has been stealing the clothes, the tapes are
mysteriously snowy.
6) Title: Hi-Ho! Hi-Ho! It's Off for Clothes We Go!
Author: Knightie Nat
Time: Saturday, Oct. 9, morning; after "Surveillance A-Foot(age)"
Nat discovers that the Diet Mountain Dew Shelley bought doesn't
contain the caffeine that she's used to, so she vows to use this time
to kick the caffeine habit, despite the tiredness, headaches, and
general crankiness this might cause her for the next few days.
Nick takes the Knighties who have lost their clothes shopping, and
gets some new clothes for himself. He drops the women at "Grande et
Belle", a "big and beautiful" shop with upscale clothing for the
discerning woman of voluptuous build. The Knighties buy their
comfortable clothing as well as dresses for a possible party later on
in the war.
7) Title: Message For Nick
Author: Knightie Katrinka
Time: Evening, October 8th
Katrinka must take Rani out for a walk, so she goes to a nearby park.
While there, Vachon steps out to greet her and give her a message to
relate to Nick: Word on the street is that all the vampires' clothes
in Toronto have disappeared, and the situation is more dangerous than
it appears. He tells her he can't take the message to Nick himself,
since it's too dangerous at the moment. Katrinka tells him that the
Vaqueras are worried about him. Vachon replies that he knows, but he
has to stay away. When his faction finds out why, they'll understand.
Kat promises to take the message to Nick.
