The Didi-Sprite looks askance at Kitten:  "What are you talking about
Kitkat?  I don't have any perversity in my life now!  How could I have
more if BiBulb tells his story!?"

Then turning back to BiBulb, she smiles her most sweet and innocent
smile and prompts:  "Well?"

A small cluster of points of light makes an appearance in front of
Bi-Bulb.  They write a message in the air:

  With some effort, what you want can be done, Bi-Bulb.  The best way
  is probably to establish the images and sounds in an FTP site in
  some very-widely used formats--compressed GIF would probably do for
  the images; don't know about sound--and put out a note in
  Callahan's telling people where to look.

Then the tip of the wand vanishes, and the message slowly fades away.

Gypsy the Selkie is wrapped from behind in a double-hug. The top one is a
pair of brown furred feminine arms, with a glossy sheen like an otters
pelt, the lower hug is a matched pair of very flexible, slender,
dolphin-like tails, similarly furred. The body they belong to is behind her
and -purring-. Gypsy hears a guggle as she is released, and turns to face
Thyra, who has transformed herself into a twin-tailed mer-cat. At her
throat is her ever-present velvet choker with a single sapphire. It's the
only clothing Thyra is wearing, other than her fur. "Hi Gypsy! Yes, Jason
and I are here. We came here right after Caithelin's Realspace. I -love-
your costume! Isn't this fun?"

Jason catches up to Thyra. He's wearing a moderinistic, skintight, dark
green diver's outfit with some sort of very small, thin backpack to provide
air to a full facemask. His Cyberdeck is strapped to his chest, wrapped in
a waterproof membrane. He also hugs Gypsy. "Happy New Year!" he says, using
a throat-mike and water-transducer to make his voice understandable
underwater. "Good to see you!"

   Well, the problem is that we all don't have the same operating
system... I think most of us use either Unix or Vms to read newsgroups,
but that our home machines vary a great deal... Several of us have
Amigas, others use MS-Dos, and I think a few of us have Macs. I can
view GIFs on my Amiga, but I have no way at this time to play sounds
from another OS/computer... Jim.

Danger Mouse/Squid answers, while still dancing with Thyra, "There are no
rules, since nobody has ever tried it before. I presume you would have to
encode the pictures and sounds into some standard format (GIF for pictures,
for example; I don't know any format for sounds). But a lot of us here
aren't really very computer-literate (like myself; I've heard of GIF files
but have no idea how to use them), so you might find it a bit difficult
getting your things across to all of us.

"What sort of things do you have in mind for posting? A while back someone
suggested making a GIF database of patrons' RL portraits, but that never
got off the ground. Too many technical difficulties and problems."

She suddenly finds Jason on one arm. "It's popular in the SCA too. Now we
need a third. Hmmmm." He whispers in her ear and she grins. Suddenly they
sprint across the dance floor, each of them taking one of Wolf's arms, with
him in the middle. "Just follow our lead!" chuckles Jason, as they sweep
the startled wolf out onto the dance floor with them for a Troika.
