Big Al arises.  "I just got done figuring out what the average tail length
in a population of fictional rats is gonna be in the next month or so, which
means that my finals are *OVER*"  This is good.  "That means that this afternoon
I get to head home for the next month or so"  This, also, is good.  "THAT means
that I have to switch accounts back to Nyx.cs.du.edu.  Nyx is only slightly
faster than if I'd typed up a buncha copies of whatever I was posting and
delivered them by hand, and due to a recent hacker attack, it means that I
have to get my account validated over there.  Which means that I'll be missing
from wherever I may be posting for some time.  I'm not a net.addict (denial is
the first sign...) but you won't be seeing me for a couple of days."

The door to Callahan's place opens, and the sound of straining wood
can be heard as a huge, furry creature squeezes its way through into
the bar.
        The creature is about nine feet tall, covered with thick fur.
He looks even taller, though, because of his long, pointy horns.
Huge brown eyes survey his surroundings.  "Hi," he rumbles
good-naturedly.  "I sorta just got lost and this place looked
interesting so I thought I'd drop by and take a look around, maybe
have a drink or two."
        He strides up to the bar, careful not to knock anything over
with his bulk, and says, "Anybody got any suggestions as to what's
really good?  I'm parched."

Thyra and Jason have not really been following this thread, but something
draws at Thyra, a need that won't be denied.

Thyra, senses a need in her friends Liralen and Blammor, and also in Nick,
who she really doesn't know well at all yet. She goes first to Nick, and
then to Liralen, giving each a warm hug in her furry, feline human form.
She has no words to offer, but tries to comort them with a purr and an
empath's  healing gifts. Then she becomes a black housecat with a velvet
collar, and pads over to Blammor. She curls up in his lap, to enjoy the
fire and offer comfort to her friend.

Hugs and Purrs,
Thyra

There is a eery quiver that sounds through the Place, similar to the
familiar noise of the Doctor's TARDIS, but quicker, clearer and more 
well tuned.  A large metal box appears in the middle of the Place.
A door in the box opens, and a pepperpot shaped creature slides out.
"Exterminate," cries the Dalek.  "Exterminate."
No one in the place showest the slighest sign of terror.
"Exterminate?" asks the Dalek.  He is suddenly struck by a stream 
of positive emotions, a stream that bores into his brain and
activates parts that the Dalek had long belived remove.  The Dalek
finds happiness.  He'd like to order a drink, but has no experience
ingesting alcohol.
