three divisions are a perfect match for Global Triad Inc. to be a leading force
in the digital communications sector. They have a fast access broadband wireless

video on demand with hundreds of movies and V.O.I.P. The company has its data

OOC:I apologize for the atrocious writing, but I figured it was time, at least,
to finish this
little part up. Badly. Again, apologize.

IC: Milo Fairbottom leaned forward against his falaffel cart and sighed.  Today
was not
going to be a good day.

Aven had been chaotic lately. Word on the street, word being what his son heard
while
talking to his hooligan friends, was that the Shakir was trying to move into
Aven again.
Every time the mysterious guild tried to move in on Basilisk territory, things
got ugly.
Uglier than the usual blood running in the streets.

No, this sort of thing made the politicians edgy. Half of them started spouting
off about
"law and order" and "common decency," which usually referred to the fact that
neither
guild had the common decency to bother bribing the city council members into
favoring
one side over the other.

And talk about law and order, inevitably led to questions about what exactly was
in those
falaffels, a question old Milo had no interest in answering, if he wanted to
stay in Aven.

So when Milo heard shouting and screams, he figured it was another city-wide
brawl. Milo
didn't mind the brawls; they were good for business. After a long hard morning
of
smashing skulls and breaking legs. a thug needed a good wholesome meal. And when
he
or she found out everything else was closed, they went to Milo. Maybe, he
thought, the
day was going to be better than he thought..

And when Milo saw the strange group of men and women run past his cart, yelling
at each
other, he shrugged. Another group of troublemakers pulled apart by interpersonal
disputers. Though one of the little bastards jostled the cart as he ran past...
stupid
punks...

Then he saw the ugly monsters following them.

Today was not going to be a good day...

#######

"They'll never make it under the gate, you said!" Ryder shouted.

"Well, the first three or four didn't!" Paidan shouted back, lepaing over a pile
of horse
dung.

"No, it was the next three that jammed themselves under the impaled bodies of
their
fellow spawn that we had to worry about," Giada shouted.

"Well how was I supposed to know they'd throw themselves under the portcullis? I
didn't
know Shadow spawn would sacrifice themselves so the rest of them could kill us?"
Paidan
shouted back.

The make-shift group ran blindly through the streets of Aven. Granted, only
Paidan, who
was leading  the way, realized he had no idea where to go. He couldn't bring the
strangers
who'd saved him to the guild headquarters: the guildmasters would flay him. On
the other
hand, the shadowspawn chasing them were going to rip him, and probably them, and
everyone else they came across, apart.

It was supposed to have been a simple robbery for an antique collector. Instead
he'd
helped an agent of the dreaded Xan to steal some sort of artifact that he
accidentally kept.
The unhappy Wardens of Shadow sent their misshapen shadowspawn after him, and it
was
only complete random chance that led him to this group of would-be heros who
initially
sought him for reward, and kept him alive because of what he'd stolen. Not that
they knew
which item that he had from the job was the item the shadows were seeking...
Though
why they hadn't stolen everything on him  and left him to die-

"Why are we running?" Carisaac shouted as he bumped into a cart while trying to
avoid a
fresh pile of horse dung.  "It's the thief they want. We could just stand aside,
let them pull
him apart, and clean up the mess."

"But..  but that's wrong!" Del shouted.  The apprentice magician leapt over a
fresh pile of
horse droppings.

"No, what's wrong is being too busy running and... and..  what is with all the
horse dung?"
Giada demanded.

"Poopsmith strike?" Paidan answered loudly and helpfully.

"We could probably just stand on the side of the street and wave bye as the
shadowspawn
ran past." Ryder shout-muttered.

A scream erupted from behind them. Everyone spared a quick glance backwards as
two of
the shadowspawn stopped to tear apart a street vendor on the side of the street.
Gore,
guts and illicit vegetarian food flew into the air.

"Keep running!" Maugrim shouted.

#######

The group stopped at a four-way street. To their left was a warehouse district.
To their
right were apartments. And ahead, to the south, were the docks.

"Does anyone have enough money to get passage on a ship?" Ravyn asked, panting.
"We
could-"

"Screw this!" Paidan shouted. He pulled out a butter dish from the sack on his
back and
threw it behind him.

"Paidan, what are you doing? Dishware as ranged weaponry is so last century,"
Giada dryly
panted.

"They want the stupid things," Paidan cried, throwing a silver jug behind him,
"they can
have them. Just.. just SCREW THIS KLUSKIN' CRAP!" He threw a gold belt behind
him,
narrowly missing Del's head.

"Are you insane!" Maugrim shouted. He pushed himself to the front of the group
and
grabed Paidan's sack. "The Xan can't be allowed to possess what ever it is
they're seeking!"

Paidan tugged the sack towards him, his left hand reaching inside. "Don't care,
don't care,
lalalalalala" he screamed as he threw a notepad behind him. A few seconds later
one of the
spawn grunted as they slipped on a pile of horse poo.

"Why not just drop the stupid sack? Ryder yelled.

Paidan pulled harder on his sack. "Damn it, it's my sack! I've had it forever!
They're not
after my sack!" He pulled sharply on the sack, nearly tripping Maugrim.

"It's just a sack!" Ryder shouted.

"Don't give him ideas!" Maugrim yelled.

"It's a very EXPENSIVE SACK AND I'M NOT THROWING IT AWAY!" screamed Paidan and
he
threw a spoon behind his back. The shadowspawn roared as they charged towards
Paidan's latest offering, ignoring everything else. Maugrim's head turned
around, his scowl
of disapproval replaced with one of last-minute revelation and horror.

A scream erupted from in front of them, Maugrim's head spinning back around. A
gray
blur pushed past them, knelt to the ground, picked up the spoon, spun around and
raced
back to the others. "Idiots!" he shouted, "It's a wonder any of you half-wits
are potty-
trained!"

"Bugger," Maugrim muttered as he released the sack. "How bloody convenient."

Leus had returned.

#######

Leus Ex Machina

The druid scowled at the mysterious old man. "How'd you escape-"

"No time!" Leus shouted. The shadowspawn behind them had doubled their pace.
Having
their target dangled before them had only served to, from what Del could tell by
glancing
quickly behind him, really, really piss them off.

"But how'd you know we'd-"

"Later!" Leus shouted, slowly pulling ahead of the group.

Del stared as the old man continued to increase his lead over everyone. Leus
headed
towards the docks. Maugrim and Paida raced after him, the druid demanding
answers.
Everyone else ran after Maugrim, because there were hideous abominations a few
yards
behind them.

Alessio, forgotten by everyone, cried out "can't.. can't run any more..."

Carisac slowed down. "I've got you" he shouted as he picked Ravyn up.

Ravyn blushed. "Um, I was actually doing oka-"

"Don't worry, they won't get you!" Carisac shouted.

Meanwhile Del slowed down and picked Alessio up. Alessio clung to Del's
shoulder. "My...
hero..." he panted.

Del grimaced. "Don't...  just... don't..." he warned.

Leus paused, then ran towards the piers. "This way!" he shouted. He ran  towards
the
largest pier in the docks.

Maugrim shook his head and charged past Leus. "Not that one, the one next to
it!" he
shouted, going towards the pier to the right. "The supports on that one-"

"By the light you're right!" Leus gasped.  "How'd you guess-"

"Later! Maugrim shouted, taking the lead towards the pier he pointed out.

Leus glanced behind him and raced ahead of the others. The pier was deserted by
the time
Leus reached the first few rows of planks. He knelt before the pier for two
seconds while
the others ran past him. He stood up, glanced at the spawn, and started running.

Just as the group was half-way across, the shadowspawn reached the pier, their
odd
assortment of claws, talons and feet pounding the planks.

"Just a little farther" Leus urged.

Just after the last of spawn raced past  where Leus had knelt, the old man
turned around
and waved his hand. Flames and wood shard exploded behind the shadowspawn. The
beasts ignored the destruction behind them, the entire pier shuddering as the
first several
yards of the wood structure was shattered.

The group reached the end of the pier and stared. "So. now we're trapped on a
dangerously-unstable pier a couple of stories in the air with a dozen
shadowspawn
heading towards us and deep ocean riptides beneath us," Giada said, staring at
Leus and
Maugrim. "I can't wait to see what you two pull out of your rears next."

Leus knelt down and watched the shadowspawn as they rushed towards them. "Just a
few
more seconds" he muttered.

The shadowspawn were 15 feet from Leus when the planks in front of them
exploded. The
leading monster tumbled into the ocean. A second beast tried to stop when a
half-hairy
thing knocked in into the blue abyss below.

Del watched as the two creatures struggled to stay afloat. The rest of the spawn
growled
furiously at the edge of their portion of the pier. "What about the two that
fell?" Del asked.

"Look at the sad things," Leus said. "They're so misshapen they're physically
incapable of
swimming." He stood up and spread his hands. The air in front of him shimmered
briefly
before it burst into flame, waves of fire washing over the pier and the
shadowspawn.

Three of the spawn leapt towards the group only to fall through the gap. While
icy waves
quenched their flames, the spawn were left struggling as they were pulled under
the
surface.

There were about six left, though it was difficult to tell through the flames
and smoke.
After a half-hour the entire structure collapsed.

Maugrim, Del and the others watched as the last of the spawn and the pier
collapsed. Leus
stared at the spoon, which he still had in his hand. "Too many questions," he
muttered,
"and not worth the effort." He walked to the other edge of what was left of the
pier, raised
his arm and threw.

A dull glint arced into the ocean.

Maugrim stared at Leus. "And what was the purpose of THAT!?"

"Just getting it out of the hands of the Shadows," Leus answered calmly. "This
way no one
will ever find that."

"Highly unlikely," Maugrim snorted, scowling at Leus.

"Yes, well, does anyone have any idea," Giada asked, "how WE are supposed to get
off this
pier alive?"

#######

Carisaac sat behind the bar at The Flirty Maid, guzzling a large pitcher of
poteen. Maugrim
and the others were due at a meeting in an hour but Carisaac wasn't in the mood
to listen
to politicians argue.  Not without several liters of poteen in his veins.

It'd taken the local wizards and magicians four hours to get them off the pier
yesterday. It
would have taken less time if they hadn't had to haggle about the cost. Carisaac
took
another drink. Stupid bastards. If only Giada'd let him eat them. If only his
bloody arm
hadn't still been broken.

"You. I need your help."

Carisaac turned to stare at Leus. "Bugger off."

Leus grabbed his arm. His not-quite completely healed arm. He pulled Carisaac's
face to
his own. "LIsten lizard breath. I don't have time to put up with your crap. You
help me, and
I'll finish healing your arm."

Carisaac stopped grimacing his teeth long enough to spit. "Bite me.."

Leus sighed. "Fine. What about a basement full of mutton and mead?"

"...Can I get that in writing?"

######

Carisaac swept over the ocean, his wings flapping asa he rose higher in the air.
<Is this
high enough?> he  growled.

Sitting at the base of Carisaac's neck, Leus nodded. "I think this will do
nicely. Can you
hover a few yards to your left?? Our target is over there."

<Hover?> the Wyvern complained. <What do you think I am, a ghost?>

"Fine" Leus growled. "Just get over there. I can spare a little power to keep
you in place."

Carisaac swept back around, his eyes glancing around constantly for any other
large flying
reptilians. <YOu're sure the council won't detect me?> he asked, drifting to the
area Leus
had pointed out.

"Don't worry, I've made sure you're secure. It's in both our interests to keep
our activities
quiet." Leus pulled a small item out of his jacket.

<So, Maugrim know you didn't throw the spoon?> Carisaac felt like he was
floating in a
salt pool, rather than  a mile in the air.

"Not that it's your business, but I suspect he suspects the truth, and why,"
Leus answered.
"JUst throwing the spoon would have done nothing. It could have drifted
anywhere, it's
light enough. Even under the sea, it might not be out of the Shadows' reach. It
has to be
weighted down, and sent into a trench, deep enough that no living thing I no of
could
retrieve it."

Carisaac shook himself awake. <Uh, yeah, sure, what ever.>

Leus sighed. The spoon slowly rose from the palm of his hand. Dust swirled
around
strange talisman, swiftly coating it in a ball of concrete. Leus waved his other
hand, and a
layer of steel covered the ball.

Carisaac felt his position shift slightly. <Uh Leus?I think you're losing power
or
something.>

The old man ignored the wyvern as he leaned over Carisaac's side. He tipped his
palm
downwards and let the ball slide off, into the ocean. With a loud splash the
ball sank into
the depths.

Leus sighed, and Carisaac began dropping down. <Damn it, warn me before you do
that!>
he growled.

"Sorry... it's been a long couple of days," Leus sighed. "Remember, not a word
about this
trip."

<Like I want to brag about having you around my neck> Carisaac grumbled.
<Besides, if
there's as much poteen as you say there is, I'll be lucky if I remember my own
name.>

#######

Leus stood underneath a large fir tree, just outside the Aven City Council
building.
Maugrim and the others were still being drilled about what had happened
yesterday
morning.

"How's it going?" he asked out loud.

A small, coffee-colored man appeared in front of Leus. He wore bright white
robes and a
large grin. "They're almost finished. Between Maugrim and Giada, they'll all be
getting
medals for their service to Elaria."

"They're lucky they aren't hanged," Leus grumbled. "They nearly ruined
everything."

"If it hadn't been for them you wouldn't have found the spoon," the man said.
"I'll admit
they're... a special group of people, but there's great potential in them.
Maugrim and his
school could play an important role in the direction of events to come."

"What events?" Leus asked.

The man shrugged. "That's for mortal and immortal actions to decide. Our duty is
to
intervene in specific circumstances. The rest of the time, you mortals are on
your own."

"Either way, Warden, the less I see of them the better," Leus grumbled.
"Besides, I still have
a servant of the Shadow to bring down. I doubt the Shadows would eliminate Thull
for this
failure, but his usefulness to them will be diminished. They'll probably focus
their energies
on another agent."

"I'd still keep an eye on Thull. Despite yesterday he's still their best agent,"
the Warden
warned. "Anyway, They'll be coming out any minute."

"Then I'm getting out of here," Leus sighed. "Until next  time, D'vor."

The warden of light grinned as he faded away. "Take it easy old man."

#######

Del looked at his reflection in the medal pinned on his robes. "I don't know how
you did
it..." he sighed.

Maugrim stuck his medal in one of the pockets in his robe. "It's all a matter of
speaking
slowly and in simple words," Giada said brightly.

"So now what?" Ryder asked.

"I know some traders who're going to Tirdannan tomorrow. We can go back to
Amergin
with them," Maugrim said.

"Good," Del sighed. "I still have to take care of the bills... they're probably
late now."

"I think I'll hang out here a while," Ravyn said. "I might try and get some new
contacts for
when I get back to Selark."

"Hey, can you tell my family I said hi?" Del asked.

Maugrim stopped listening to everyone's chatter. He, Del, Giada and
Carisaac-where ever
the lizard was-would head back with the caravan, while Ravyn and Ryder would go
their
own way. He suspected the only reason Giada wasn't staying in Aven was so she
didn't
ahve to deal with a lust-sick wyvern moping around a barely-legal girl.

Maugrim glanced up at a fir tree near the door. For an instant he thought he saw
a small
figure grinning up in the branches. This didn't bode well.

He stayed behind while the others slowly drifted away. "This is just the
beginning, isn't it,"
he whispered.

A gentle wind rose, and he thought he heard someone whisper, "You folks are in
for an
interesting ride." Scowling, Maugrim, the Reaper, walked away. There was a lot
of work to
have Del do for him, and not much time before the next "adventure..."

The Great Ent stood on the lonely ridge Scanning the horizon of
his domain marked by his disbursed parts for any action, to no
avail, it seems as if nothing is moving in all of Nemidia. A limb is
the haft of a scythe standing in the corner of a cluttered study. A
bit of a branch, carved into a spoon is hidden away in a dark
pocket. Another fragment, carved into a styalized figure hangs on a
thong around the neck of an attractive young woman busy at her work
station. All appears to be at peace.
     But appearances can be deceiving. For in the shadows there may
be movement unseen by human eyes.

Hey guys,

It has been a long time since I last posted here - however I have not
forgotten about the club. Far from it :)

I know our RP posts have come to an abrupt end. I've spent the last
three years in purgatory - defined as being an overworked, underpaid
accounting trainee with professional exams to study for at nights...:(

Recently however my exams have finished up, my paycheck has reached a
more reasonable level, and my workload is a lot less. One might say I
almost have a normal life again...

The years I spent writing for this RP still stand out as a pretty
amazing period of writing. Interacting with other characters on a
free-form RP provided a lot of practice in developing some of my own
less-traditional fantasy ideas. Not many Fantasy books with De Danann
Druids and a team of gambling-addicted Gods battling the forces of
Sentinel's Shadows Wardens...:)

In more recent years, my second hobby - programming - took an extended
detour into the realm of PHP scripting. One result of this excursion
is that I ended developing a open source game - Quantum Star SE (
http://www.quantum-star.com ).

To the relevant point at hand - I'd like to see this RP and the effort
it represents preserved for others to draw some enjoyment form. A few
ideas were bandied about in earlier months and I'd like to add two to
this list:

1. Restart the RP

A good effort was made before to do this, unfortunately my time was
under pressure and I was unable to maintain regular posts.

2. Format RP into a single text/story

There was some feedback as I remember, again I was unable to
contribute anything of any value. I still have not lost hope of
achieving this at some time! I have a few other suggestions that will
take up time for a month or two - but I'd be willing to help out on
this task afterwards if others are also available to collaborate.

3. Create an indexed reference for the RP, website, and supporting
documentation.

I suggested something along these lines, but never followed it up. If
anything, it's something I'd love to have a good go at in the next few
weeks.

4. Create a Game based on the RP

This is my own new suggestion. I'm currently developing (given all
this sudden free time) an RPG Game Engine which will run PHP Browser
Based Games (something like http://www.lotgd.com - only more complex
). The project was established by myself in June 2004 - just a few
months ago. The Game Engine, entitled "Shadows Rising RPG Game Engine"
( http://www.shadowsrising.net ) is being designed to support multiple
Game Modules, each Module being a collection of plots, items,
character classes, skills, feats, creatures, locations, etc. Each
Module will use the Game Engine to operate to the public, and make use
of several openly available Rulesets such as Wizards of the Coast D20
System, the new Lowdie system, and one or two other "paper and pen"
RPG Rulesets.

At this point I'd like to remind everyone that I'm still a notorious
rambler...:)

My proposal is two-fold. To create a Game Module incorporating the
main features of the "Talisman War" RP including characters,
locations, creatures, races, occupations and the plot setting, i.e.
The quest for the Jewels, the fight against the Shadow Wardens, the
Morrigan and her insane sons, etc. And present as a game for the
Shadows Rising Game Engine - to be available freely under an open
source license. And also to develop a website which maintains all
posts for the RP, to feature Maps, Encylopedia, URI referenced Posts,
a briefer Overview of the main storyline, background documents such as
racial descriptions, character profiles, etc - including Sentinel's
updated docs for the RP.

I'm willing to contribute quite a bit of time on these two areas, and
to host the eventual website for free at its own domain and on a
private server where current club members who wish can be granted
Administrator priveleges for the website. The site would be operated
by a fully automated PHP application I would develop separately,
customised for the site. Both website and game would complement each
other.

These are my two primary motivations for this post. The third is that
I would like to see the novelisation of the RP through to completion
with any help members are willing to give. Hopefully those who posted
on this suggestion are still willing. I wouldn't want to this alone
and end up butchering someone's writing - it would be better to leave
the posts as they are in that case.

In order to facilitate the main three points above I would also like
to request that the original writers for the RP, both past and present
, grant the club permission to use their work for the purposes of the
game, website and novelisation - simply post here or send me an email
to <maugrimtr@...> as a simple record of this. This is
probably more courtesy than necessity. But I'm not in habit of
ignoring anyone's rights over their own creations. I will also make an
effort to contact individuals should they not receive this post. The
license for the game is open source, so your posts will not be useable
in anything outside the game itself. I am also not suggesting any form
of rights transfer - simply a permission of use for specific purposes.

If I am unable to contact certain individuals, but have been contacted
by a majority. I will make use of those individuals posts on the
website - though not the game - and include them on all credit lists.

My apologies for the lengthy post, Maugrim still has issues with
summarising text :). I hope to hear from many of you in the next week,
and hopefully to maintain more regular contact than we currently have.

Hey last couple of times I checked in this place was real quiet and
now there seems to be some life!  Sorry I never posted anything
sooner my lifes been going hay wire lately!  I have graduated from
old Stirling Uni have moved out of home bought my own flat and am
unfortunatly in full time employment.  Although my friends still call
me a part timer even though I work ten hour days go figure!  I am now
working for a company that sells wine buy the case and unfortantely
have to drink lots of wine in order to fulfill that.  Bad point is I
have an exam on the world and wine next month, currently in the
denial stage of studying followed by well if I carry the book around
I am sort of making an effort!

Anyways let me know whats been happening, I actually turned to trying
to write novels again although I am currently in an ooh that ideas
better than the last one and keep going through story ideas like
toilet paper.  Anyway I am keen to write and will check in again,

Later, Emma

Missouri is right in the middle of the USA East of Kansas, West of
Illinois, North of Arkansas and South of Iowa. The mississippi river
runs down the eastern border. It has many lakes and streams as well
as forests and grass lands. We here in the southern part live among
a range of valleys Called the Ozarks, Where there is great hunting
and fishing in the series of man made lakes on the White river which
flows into the Mississippi about mid way down the eastern side of
Arkansas. Near by in branson we have about 30 theaters and several
theme parks and othere amusements. Come see us some time. You should
feel welcomed by the friendly natives here.

OCC: Err ...where's Missouri said the geographically ignorant Brit
who is seriously overworked in her new job as well as being underpaid
and therefore not having much time for idle amusements such as
keeping in touch with people she'd prefer to talk to rather than
those she has to talk to, let alone dealing with anal accountants (I
do hope you read that remark, Maugrim, she smiled)

RP: Giada surveyed the assemblage, concentrating on Alessio and
Carisac. "Oh bugger, bugger and all forms of buggery!" she breathed
as small unusually shaped animals ran out, "You're not dead, or even
un-dead .... just ......."

"Figments of your imagination?" Carisac supplied, "Something you
dreamed up?"

"What?" was Alessio's contribution.

Giada concentrated on them and took stock:

One exiled Wyvern with a penchant for sexual deviance outside his
species and extremely low ethical standards in all other respects.

One failed Shakar Jihad assassin who would be pushed to win an IQ
contest where the other competitors were mentally challenged goldfish
and an incompetence level that could win an Inter-Galactic Olympics
gold medal.

And she's invented them? She mentally breathed a fair few more words
resulting in a proliferation of small unusually shaped animals in the
immediate vicinity.

"If I invented you two" she said at last, "you may be whatever dead
you like - but I must have been brain-dead at the time."

There is life in the middle of the USA In the Ozark hills of
Missouri. Happy new year to y'all.

HRMMMMM... BRAAAAAINS....

Wait, you said dead, not undead.  Never mind.

Or am I wishing a Happy New Year to the dead?

She's also known as :

'Skit'n'Skat' or 'Skitty'
'H2'(as in Hairy Two, the dog being H1)
'Get out of my bath/plate/bedroom/off the kitchen table, you damned
animal!'
'OK, you've caught it, but don't eat it on the living room carpet.'
'You have a scratching board and use it, so don't sharpen your claws
on the furniture/my legs'
'Look, it's the dog I'm taking for a walk - not you - and get out of
that smelly stream or be obliged to take a shower when you get home!'

.... and anything else we feel obliged to yell at her more than three
times a week.

Smaller than most cats - attitude enough for 100 of the biggest.
That's The Cooking Fat.

Um, I wasn't referring to the cat, though now I'm sorta wanting to
name my next cat after yours...

.... is actually female and earned her name by serious misbehaviour
during the first week we owned her. As in "What's that F****** C**
doing now???!!" The Vets had five fits when I registered her under
that name :-)

Sorry I've not been around recently but I've just started a new
job ....

Now, now, let him have his fun. Eventually he'll tire himself out and
you can take care of him then.

In any case we'll work something out, even if it means I can only
communicate through the group. Lately, for instance i'm thinking about
the role of wardens, their origins, and their place have in Nemedia.
I'm leaning towards keeping the details about them as mysterious as
possible. While that's good for a reader, it's not good when it comes
to thinking and rethinking warden mechanics. Oy.

This is going to be the problem, Paidi and I being more time-synched
than you are with us. I'll try and drqaft out my preliminary ideas
before then but just now I have lunch to get, ironing to do, a cat to
discourage from walking on the keyboard/my paperwork (bet you thought
all those typos were my fault!), a website to update and a partner to
put back down because his team just won the Rugby World Cup! See you
later.

I'll be online if possible :)

Giada - Messenger Client - I doubt my clients at work would be impressed the
other way...lol

I have another proposal - unrelated to novelisation - that I'd like to bring
up. It sort of links in another of my interests which is kickstarting in
January. More later...

I take it...Yahoo Messenger then?
