@ZAmmi @RustyNorman I wish we knew what-- Where IS Wild? No Cass either? Russ. What ~exactly did she say to you? #tt100
@RustyNorman :rubs chin in thot: @Zammi "Hey, remember i said Wild was rantin about FP this mornin? said she..went out a huntin door?" #tt100
@RustyNorman @ZAmmi :getting more worried: #teamprotectormode "Wild was in a state,gone ninja. What if-I mean, what if the 3 of em aren't..here?" #tt100
@mousewords @RustyNorman @ZAmmi "Cassie brought me coffee, like 8:30 or so. So she was here then. After that" *thinks* "I didn't see her at all" #TT100
@RustyNorman @ZAmmi :pushes back jacket & hooks thumbs in waistcoat pockets, thotfully: "hey that's right, we're dealin in 4 dimensions. dang..." #tt100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman Where did u see her last? In ur room? *Starts hastening towards room in an outwardly casual manner..if that's possible* #tt100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman *fractional Hesitation* We can't enter there. But.. Look everywhere. Above the curtains, in the water jug, where ever it #TT100

@RustyNorman "like a gossip bomb waitin t'go off":raises rumpled head,looks @Zammi & @mousewords in hall: "what'm i lookin for?bigger'n a katana?" #tt100
@mousewords "-or smaller than a dust bunny?" @Zammi @RustyNorman #TT100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman *Looks boggling at you* /There's a katana under the bed?/ Uh..perhaps your cufflink rolled under the bed? It's small #tt100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman after all, & not easy to see? I know it's a..long shot but if that's where u last saw it, I mean..when u were by the bed #tt100
@ZAmmi *Winces* /If he SAW it under the bed, he wouldn't be searching for it now/ #TT100
@RustyNorman :grins at @Zammi tryin to say two things at once: /adorable/ "yeah, good idea! i'll look." :ducks head under bed: #tt100
@RustyNorman [nothing's on the floor except the vine pattern of a stiff, tight-plush rug. no dust bunnies, no "cufflink" #tt100
@RustyNorman [he strains against tie& collar to peer up at the shadowy slats & bedframe, cringing-cautious of spiders. then a shot of adrenaline- #tt100
@RustyNorman [spikes into his brain at sight of something small& lighter than shadows.he reaches under,plucks it from the bedframe,then stands] #tt100
@ZAmmi @mousewords *Flicks you a look of excitement under a face still as a china doll barely containing the words 'He's found something!'* #tt100
@ZAmmi @mousewords *Flicks you a look of excitement under a face still as a china doll. Barely containing the words 'He's found something!'* #tt100
@RustyNorman :rejoins @Zammi &@mousewords, casually tugging his wristcuff: "Got it. o by th way speakin o small stuff.." :search in breast pocket: #tt100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman *Voice wobbles a fraction, immediately schooled* Let's go for a walk in the garden. *All bright & cheerfulness* It's a #tt100

@mousewords @ZAmmi "That's the darndest kind of whoopee cushion I've *ever* heard of.." ;) *holds skirt above dry grass* #TT100
@ZAmmi *As soon as she enters the coppice at edge of the lawn,spins to face Rusty,drops the facade* @RustyNorman Whatdiyufind? Whatdiyufind? #tt100
@RustyNorman @ZAmmi "you! an you're gorgeous" :swiftly drops a caressing kiss on your true-rose lips, under cover of greenery: #tt100
@RustyNorman @ZAmmi :in the next beat, brings out a small square of paper from his coat pocket & hands it to u: "lookit that!" #tt100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman *blinks, happily, startled by hasty movement drops gaze to paper* ::Hesitantly unfurls:: It better not turn out to be #tt100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman just somebody's tailor's receipt after all that. *No handwriting at all, just a block of erratic black&white squares* #TT100
@RustyNorman @ZAmmi :grins: "not n'less they tailored a suit in the 21st century" #tt100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman what..? *Looks at it closely. Edwardian-attuned brain shortcircuiting at sight of modern symbol,blanking interpretation* #tt100
@RustyNorman @ZAmmi :searches in other pockets, pulls out 'cigar case': "very popular art form around Apple orchards" :wink: "let's hope #tt100

@CassieBarrister *tipsy trudge across dry, rutted soil* "pitcher, pffft. I get the feeling @wildfeather's not talking about baseball..." #tt100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman You're the detective. *Sucks lip* I wish we knew WHAT was going on #tt100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman *Follows you out of the room* #tt100
@ZAmmi *pauses halfway down corridor* @RustyNorman *low whisper* "Russ.." #tt100
@RustyNorman [walking thru warm, fancy hallways, lookin for maids or butler, but finding nothin. mutters "seen but not heard"] @Zammi "hmm?" #tt100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman *Almost imperceptibly beckons with her finger locked against her dress, hidden by folds* #tt100
@RustyNorman @ZAmmi :raises eyebrows questioningly, walks over: #tt100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman *eyes glance nervously, picking up on your 'seen but not heard' bodylanguage & thinking of listening ears* #tt100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman *Suddenly feels herself tonguetied* /lip-read?/ ::Slips arm in crook of @mousewords elbow & leads her to face window:: #tt100
@ZAmmi "What a beautiful view." *Waits for you to join us* @RustyNorman #tt100
@mousewords @ZAmmi "Isn't it? I wish I'd brought my oil paints!" <_< My 20th century oil paints..that need an electric heatgun to set them.. #TT100
@RustyNorman @ZAmmi [wanders to window, forehead puckered] #tt100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman *Murmurs under her breath* "Servants talk." #tt100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman We can't ask them anything. Low profile? Forgettable? There's so many people here,they might not know she's missing #TT100
@mousewords @ZAmmi *thoughtful murmur*" "Be forgettable, the cardinal rule of time travel" #TT100
@RustyNorman @ZAmmi :wince: "yeh, I guess it wouldn't reflect too well on the US if a senator lost track of his guests, either" #tt100
@ZAmmi @mousewords *Perspires just a little bit, touching her fingers delicately to her neck* #TT100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman I wish we knew what-- Where IS Wild? No Cass either? Russ. What ~exactly did she say to you? #tt100
@RustyNorman :rubs chin in thot: @Zammi "Hey, remember i said Wild was rantin about FP this mornin? said she..went out a huntin door?" #tt100
@RustyNorman @ZAmmi :getting more worried: #teamprotectormode "Wild was in a state,gone ninja. What if-I mean, what if the 3 of em aren't..here?" #tt100
@mousewords @RustyNorman @ZAmmi "Cassie brought me coffee, like 8:30 or so. So she was here then. After that" *thinks* "I didn't see her at all" #TT100
@RustyNorman @ZAmmi :pushes back jacket & hooks thumbs in waistcoat pockets, thotfully: "hey that's right, we're dealin in 4 dimensions. dang..." #tt100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman Where did u see her last? In ur room? *Starts hastening towards room in an outwardly casual manner..if that's possible* #tt100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman *fractional Hesitation* We can't enter there. But.. Look everywhere. Above the curtains, in the water jug, where ever it #TT100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman was /exactly/ you last set eyes on her. The very last place #tt100
@ZAmmi RT cos it seems 2b missin RT @ZAmmi @RustyNorman *Looks at you under apprehensive eyebrow*Not here as in here, or not here as in Now? #tt100
@RustyNorman [purposeful/thotful walk to room, if :that's: possible] @ZAmmi "last place i saw Wild...either she was ninja-hoppin off th walls, or- #tt100
@RustyNorman [enters room, sharp eyes & hazy memory scanning the washstand, windows, bed...] :snaps fingers: #tt100
@RustyNorman [kneels in creaky pants & lifts the bedskirt]:muffled voice: "last I saw the kid she was hidin out under here from the maid, #tt100
@RustyNorman "like a gossip bomb waitin t'go off":raises rumpled head,looks @Zammi & @mousewords in hall: "what'm i lookin for?bigger'n a katana?" #tt100
@mousewords "-or smaller than a dust bunny?" @Zammi @RustyNorman #TT100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman *Looks boggling at you* /There's a katana under the bed?/ Uh..perhaps your cufflink rolled under the bed? It's small #tt100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman after all, & not easy to see? I know it's a..long shot but if that's where u last saw it, I mean..when u were by the bed #tt100
@ZAmmi *Winces* /If he SAW it under the bed, he wouldn't be searching for it now/ #TT100
@RustyNorman :grins at @Zammi tryin to say two things at once: /adorable/ "yeah, good idea! i'll look." :ducks head under bed: #tt100
@RustyNorman [nothing's on the floor except the vine pattern of a stiff, tight-plush rug. no dust bunnies, no "cufflink" #tt100
@RustyNorman [he strains against tie& collar to peer up at the shadowy slats & bedframe, cringing-cautious of spiders. then a shot of adrenaline- #tt100
@RustyNorman [spikes into his brain at sight of something small& lighter than shadows.he reaches under,plucks it from the bedframe,then stands] #tt100
@ZAmmi @mousewords *Flicks you a look of excitement under a face still as a china doll barely containing the words 'He's found something!'* #tt100
@ZAmmi @mousewords *Flicks you a look of excitement under a face still as a china doll. Barely containing the words 'He's found something!'* #tt100
@RustyNorman :rejoins @Zammi &@mousewords, casually tugging his wristcuff: "Got it. o by th way speakin o small stuff.." :search in breast pocket: #tt100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman *Voice wobbles a fraction, immediately schooled* Let's go for a walk in the garden. *All bright & cheerfulness* It's a #tt100

@RustyNorman :suave grin: "her drawin's comin along. she's really into that newfangled oriental art." #tt100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman Oh! *Appreciative smile* I shall be all attentiveness I assure u. *Links @mousewords arm & skips breezily down corridor* #tt100
@ZAmmi @mousewords "...And, do you know when she sat down it played God Save the Queen!" [Grin] *Bustles over the grass mirthfully* #tt100
@mousewords @ZAmmi "That's the darndest kind of whoopee cushion I've *ever* heard of.." ;) *holds skirt above dry grass* #TT100
@ZAmmi *As soon as she enters the coppice at edge of the lawn,spins to face Rusty,drops the facade* @RustyNorman Whatdiyufind? Whatdiyufind? #tt100
@RustyNorman @ZAmmi "you! an you're gorgeous" :swiftly drops a caressing kiss on your true-rose lips, under cover of greenery: #tt100
@RustyNorman @ZAmmi :in the next beat, brings out a small square of paper from his coat pocket & hands it to u: "lookit that!" #tt100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman *blinks, happily, startled by hasty movement drops gaze to paper* ::Hesitantly unfurls:: It better not turn out to be #tt100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman just somebody's tailor's receipt after all that. *No handwriting at all, just a block of erratic black&white squares* #TT100
@RustyNorman @ZAmmi :grins: "not n'less they tailored a suit in the 21st century" #tt100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman what..? *Looks at it closely. Edwardian-attuned brain shortcircuiting at sight of modern symbol,blanking interpretation* #tt100
@RustyNorman @ZAmmi :searches in other pockets, pulls out 'cigar case': "very popular art form around Apple orchards" :wink: "let's hope #tt100
@RustyNorman @ZAmmi "27th century tech cn still read ancient QR codes" :opens case, starts fingering screen: #tt100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman *Tempcausality Freak out* What have you got in your po-- ::Mouth clamps shut:: ::Collapses into giggles:: #tt100
@wildfeather @RustyNorman The code is an URL link - Good thing @Wendell_Howe tweets from the field. Internet blackspot'd be a pain in the butt... #tt100
@RustyNorman @ZAmmi :impsh wink: "do y'know how hard it is fer a programmer to keep from jailbreakin this?" :waves shiny 27th c computer: #tt100
@ZAmmi @RustyNorman *Squeezes cheek against your arm*happy sigh at physical contact after Edwardian stifling societal constraints*- #tt100

@RustyNorman @ZAmmi :slides arm snugly round your waist while operating Wendell's cigar case computer w other hand: "close second." ;] #tt100

@ZAmmi @RustyNorman ::Mock surprise:: keep your shirt on #tt100

@mousewords @ZAmmi @RustyNorman *looks toward house* *gathers up skirts* "I think *I'm* going to order some lemonade for Lady Z..& meanwhile, #tt100

119th Temporal Tuesday - 11 October
Captain_Zaphod: #TemporalTues Pt.1 -1975 on safari for the rare, never-before-photographed, fuzzy-feathered Pip Squaker bird. A bipedal cat & mouse managed
Captain_Zaphod: #TemporalTues Pt.2 to trap the shy bird w/ a carrot (a Pip Squaker's favorite food) to take a picture of it. Squaker is now
Captain_Zaphod: #TemporalTues Pt.3 stuffed & mounted on the deck of the Heart of Gold. Left the mammals on Traal w/ a family of Ravenous Bugblatter Beasts.
************************************************************************************
fangarius: Seems both my relations, the Addamses and Munsters want me & the TARDIS 2 to go back to 1348 to the days of the Black Plague #TemporalTues
fangarius: Whereas Mordecai and Rigby want me to go back to June 25, 1976, when The Omen came to theaters. #TemporalTues
fangarius: In honor of Vincent's Centennial, I'd go back to 1960 through 68 and watch some of his films, like "Tales of Terror." #TemporalTues
************************************************************************************
ZAmmi: Feta cheese,olives,coarse bread,wild leaves & wine-If I'm gonna do the Mediterranean Diet properly, it must be Ancient Greece! #temporaltues
ZAmmi: Wearing a garment called a peplos. It's open on one side! (how risqué!) Made of white linen with a pretty vine pattern #temporaltues
ZAmmi: The Mediterranean Diet does not mean pasta! It's a diet that has remained the same in places like Crete since the Stone Age. #temporaltues
ZAmmi: It relies on fresh fruit & vegetables supplemented by bread, olive oil, wine and a little cured fish or cheese. Delicious! #temporaltues
ZAmmi: It's a diet that's so healthy that experts in the 20th century recommended mimicking it. I'm here to document the real thing #temporaltues
ZAmmi: Even today Cretans gather various wild,aromatic plants to make 'horta' salad to sell at market.It's more popular than takeaway #temporaltues
ZAmmi: They chop them up small to make pesto, slathered in olive oil, -good for lentils & in tomato stews- or simply serve it fresh. #temporaltues
ZAmmi: It's kind of exciting knowing we're eating food that would have been served to Alexander the Great's troops or at Knossos. #temporaltues
ZAmmi: The palace at Knossos holds 1300 rooms, many with oil & wine presses & storerooms for tons & tons olive oil -used as currency. #temporaltues
ZAmmi: Hidden underneath the pithoi - large clay storage vases for wine, grain & oil- were secret vaults containing gold! #temporaltues
ZAmmi: It's calculated the vats at Knossos could hold 246,000 litres! How many martinis could you make with all the olives for that? #temporaltues
ZAmmi: So you could say the king was rolling in it.. Literally! Using oil in massaging & grooming was very popular.Who says he didnt? #temporaltues
ZAmmi: Modern towns claim to have trees over 2500yrs old. Maybe I could pinpoint the coordinates of ancient groves, see if any match? #temporaltues
ZAmmi: Want to visit the ancient Mediterranean? What, you don't have a time machine? Try these sumptuous recipes. The Cretan Diet #Temporaltues
