Wow, that was unexpected. Damn, Ya know, this is about as bad as when
Vamparto tried to play hide the weasel with Wonko and we all ended up
getting large patches of fur removed for stiches after the high-speed
crash. Well, it's not THAT Bad, actually, its kinda nice. OOHHHH, How do
you get your coat to glow? I have enough trouble keeping my smell up to
standards (You know mustelids are the ultimate aromatherapy)

Okay, I have been outbonzied by a Ermine! I mean, REALLY, okay fine,

Hey, it's part of the weasel code: Expect the Unexpected. Be the
Unexpected.

I'm a khromat.... we all do that.
Speaking of aromatherapy, Wiggelror the magician came up with 'scent
camouflage'... I can become visually invisable, but my scent remains...
with his outfit, I can mask my scent to match the surrounding scents,
thus hiding that part from detection as well. Of course, of of Wiggle's
side effects is that you can set the gear for a specific scent, which
some khromatai have found intriguing.... "Here, foxy, foxy, foxy...."

The bushes rustle softly as a Tyger cautiously steps out into
the open. He wastes no time in making his way towards the buffet table
in atticipation of a long awaited meal. Suddenly he freezes, eyes
narrowing as he spots a large mass of Furs seemingly hugging one and
all. He stands there for several seconds, staring, his only movement
is a frantically twitching tail. A small shudder runs through his body
and his muscles seem to relax while a small growl escapes his throat.
He turns around and quietly makes his way back into the bushes, his
dinner long forgotten.

The fox is the master of disguise and camoflage... you'll never find me...

(A local university 'round here is the world-wide authority on aromatherapy,
so don't think you can detect the coffee smell :)

What is, a khormat? I mean, I hear you mention that a couple of times, but
I figure I might as well ask. After all, the worst thing you can do is, Oh
nevermind, I don't want to offend anyone here who might not want to know
what horrable things this ermine could do to an unexpecting vicim in very
explicite and gory detail.

(A skunk is lurking behind a nearby tree - watching the writhing mass of
fur in the clearing - thinking, "What is this, an orgy??? No...it's a
soccer game! Aww-right!!" - and runs out to jump on top of the heaving
pile).

Locandez breaks stealthily away from the macrohug and trots over to
WulfTyger, touching him gently on his shoulder. "Hiya! Ummm... just ignore
those lot. Would you like something to eat? We've got soup, chocolate,
sandwiches, Oreos, Marmite, Nutella, Bonios and just about every possible

Skytech sits alone at the picnic table as the newbie comes out of
the bushes toward the outdoor buffet, sees the pile, and heads back to
the bush. Before he reacts, Locandez gets to WulfTyger and talks to him.

Skytech smiles and gestures to the table; "Come on up! Not everyone

Oh great, now I feel guilty for being involved in a furry hug.
Sheesh. < Whisper extracts himself from the growing pile of furs, grabs

You left them on the table, when you rushed over to join the group hug,
at least, that's where I saw them last. ;)

Get back in there!

Never, ever feel guilty about group hugs! Just 'cus I have a
problem with it, here and in RL, doesn't mean others shouldn't enjoy and
encourage a wonderful moment!

Skytech grabs Whisper and tosses him back on the pile deftly,
removing the handful of fishsticks. He heads back to the table scarfing
the perloined treats.

Just 'cus I'm a wallflower doesn't mean I can't have some fun!

Licorice? Licorice?!

The vulpan's eyes and ears perk and he leaps over the table.
Standing next to the somewhat startled fur, bouncing ever so slightly in
anticipation, he asks if WulfTyger if he'd like to share! Black
licorice, right?!

"GACK!!!!!!! He called me a newbie!!!!" The Tyger runs around
in circles cupping his ears screaming until he runs into a tree. After
regaining consciousness and some degree of composure he sits down and
tries to explain his overreaction to that word.

"Ya see, I have actually been reading what goes on here for
over 4 months now. Until recently I had not felt ready to actually
dive in and take part in the *looks around* craziness that goes on
'round these parts. From your perspective I am new to this group, yet
from mine I have been here a while...lurking quietly in those bushes
*points* over yonder."
The Tyger stands up and starts to wander off in search of some
ice, pausing long enough to call back over his shoulder.
"By the way, don't worry about that reaction I had....for just
a second there it felt like someone was doing a quick tapdance on my
tail." ;)

Yeah, what he said. I had just spent 30 minutes trying to think of a
way to say that (with zero success). Don't let the reactions of other
people be the sole factor (or even a large factor) that makes up your

Somewhat startled is a slight understatement, but I am sure
that will come out in the wash. And yes, this is black licorice. IMO
black licorice is the only kind that can/should be called licorice.
Everything else is just cherry(?) flavored stuff shaped to look like
licorice and any company that calls that licorice is suffering from a
severe case of ignorance. Licorice is a flavor, not a form of candy.
Think about it, would you say that cola can be called root beer just
because they both come in 12oz. cans? This is all just a minor detail,
but it is one of the many things on my list of "Things that bug me".
Oh my, it seems I have rambled on and on while you stand there
bouncing back and forth. Aren't you tired yet? Well then sit down, and
have some licorice. :)

Nah, I was just getting hot under all of that fur and needed a break. IRL
you'd probably never see me in a group hug, (too jumpy Ya know.)

Pringles are cool, One question, were does crazed ferret fit in there? Oh
yeah, in case you don't knowknow, I am not part of that group or.. err..
HUG! Any fur that is part of this furpile and has any resemblence to me is
just that explosive Buster Decoy I used to trick certain mustelids who
should know better than to try to trick a ferret because ferrets like
Buster expects the unexpetced unexpetced. And here is the kicker, the decoy
is set to explode when the furpile reaches critical mass..

Ambergold slowly extracts herself from the furpile. Ambling over to
the new fur - hiya, haven't seen you around these parts before. Is you
wolf or tigger? Or both? <G> Oh, looks like a stack of Pringles. The
white wolf snitches a few for herself. Welcome to the gang, WulfTyger!

Oh, uh, hmm. Forgive me for being ignorant of the subject, but what
*is* minimum safe distance? If we have to break orbit, we might have a
problem unless those mechs can carry a whole lotta passengers!

Buster pops "Heresy" into CD player....

Well, MSD depends on the warhead. For example a single 100 megton nuclear
warhead can wipe out about 75% of Great Britan, or somthing. So It wall
depends on what will happen when the explosive decoy blows up.

Break Orbit, HA! If I was going to load a warhead THAT big into the
Ferret, I would already have left this diamention for home, and you would
be talking to a Dima-spook. Don't worry, there is no Nova-bomb, and it
won't take out this part of the universe. If you want to know you will have
to play the 20 questions version of GUESS WHAT KIND OF BOMB BUSTER IS GOING
TO USE ON SOME HELPLESS FURS! Or maybe not.

I'll give you a hint, its bigger than a breadbox. :)

I'm sorry, but black licorice is right up there with candy corn on my list
of least favorite candies. I like red licorice though. :)

One word. Limbo. It's humongous! Doesn't dwell on this plane of existence,
it altrers our body frequency to phase us just enough out of this dimension
so nothing can hurt us. Everyone can fit in there. Shoot, I've been
thinking of making a little handheld Limbo frequency just to be able to
phase slightly out of this plane. Still be seen, but can't be touched. ;)

Well, sorta-kinda you're not alone. Purrrrsonally, I'm not too fond of
being randomly hugged by some unknown person, and hugfests (like on
F-MUCK)
bother the heck out of me. Having said that, though, I'm not averse to
the
concept in general of hugs... especially not when they come from femmes.

*giggle!*

A Khromat (pronounced Crow-mat) is an alien race that I have been
drawing actively since 1981. They all have chameleon fur that they can
control to some greater or lesser extent (trainable skill), they have a
body designed to move easily in either bipedal or quadrupedal modes
(they tend to run on all fours), they have a crest of longer 'hair' that
runs down from just above the eyesockets to just above the
shoulderblades and this gets styled much like human hair. Khromatai are
telepathic, strongly empathic, semi-gestault in mode, and can mate with
anything mammalian and have fertile hybrids... they have 9 distinct
ethnic breeds they call "kafarai", which roughly correspond to our
ethnic diversity, and the groups have human-coined 'common names' that
reflect the general physcial appearances of that kafaren... Felines,
Lupines, Vulpines, Mustelines (no ermine), Ursines, Cervids, Rodents (no
mice), Ermine and "Mixed".

Further details can be gotten from the 2nd Edition of Other Suns (plug,
plug, plug....)

A cheshire grin appears by Buster's shoulder, followed by the sudden
appearance of a doll looking remarkably like the ferret -- only wearing
tie-dye and holding onto flowers instead of a gun, and a big
cat-ate-the-canary grin. :3

Ahhh! There's nothing like black licorice! First and ONLY hug this fox
is handing out but it's an emergency.

However, NEVER try medicial black licorice! Bad, Nasty tasting...! Made
the mistake when much younger. The Druggist warned us but not too
strongly. Ho, ho! Sense of humor!

Are we talking sweet licorice or salt licorice here? I like the sweet
stuff, but I love the salt licorice they have in Holland.

Well, I can barely stand licorice(there is only one kind), myself, cause

Assorted flavored chewy candy made by boiling sugar (or molasses)

No idea, whats taffy?

Salt licorice has an ammonia salt as one of its ingredients, its


alot stronger and far more savoury than sugar licorice. Its also
usually alot harder, and is sold in small disks (similar size to
Pontefact cakes), or molded into various shapes.
