Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board Varalent's Variable Villa

Hearing the huge splash in the pool, Vee glances out the window and spots Hrun. He strides over to the door and throws it open.

Hrun my friend! How are you? It's been a while since you dropped in for a visit. How about I order up some mead and we can catch up?

<leaps over wall, into pool>

SPLASH!

Hm…better take off this wet tunic…

<now shirtless>

I’ll join you two, Vee, as we discuss what to do next. The way I see it, Matlock has Café Cramer protected right now, but Viv’s island is still a problem, I don’t have my powers and there is the possibility of a mysterious enemy from within.

In addition to your potent power, your wisdom has always been useful in these types of emergencies…

Have a seat Cobie. I'll have one of my Vangerian Spearman bring us a meal and some mead and we'll discuss it.

"Vee my comrade in arms, I bring worrying news from the Northern frontier. A strange prophecy and many portents of doom have been seen ".

Bites large piece of meat from the joint offered and drinks deeply.

“And now I hear my Lord Faraway lies at deaths door”


There is a loud clash. Turning the three see the Varangian serving man standing in Shock the tray he was carrying rolling across the floor of the Villa.

“We go to our Lord” he shouts running from the room. “Woe to this land if he should die”

As he leaves he raises a small horn to his lips and blows a sweet clear call. Hearing it answered from various parts of the Villa he heads off towards the armoury.

<Members of Varalent's staff lie dead or in serious pain, clutching their wounds.>

<Faster than they came, like a Blitzkrieg, the Red Bee and his bees exit>

Hmmmm.....

Surrounded by sapphire blue light, Vee absent-mindedly SHRinks the few stragler bees to the size of dust motes

....Guess Red Bee didn't notice that my entire staff exited the Villa in a hurry about 2 posts ago.

I will make him pay for knocking over and damaging all my beautiful neo-Graeco and neo-Roman statuary!

B'Jeebers! How the heck am I ever gonna clean this mess up?

Just sweep everything into this tesseract, A.Q., and call in the decorators. Sometimes it's just best to start over from scratch.

Thanks for the help guys!

Got any ideas on a new deco style since I have to redo the Villa completely it would appear?

Considering the location, overlooking the bay (Montego?), I'd go with a Carribean Motif.

But with the cast of characters who regularly show up here you may want to go with something a little more durable. Like maybe Stainless Steel?

Hmm, or maybe Institutional might be more appropriate!

Vee, have you heard from Condo or Magnetic Kid in awhile?

I remember when them, IB, SLK and myself were dubbed 'The Festive Five' for our partying and all-nighters in the Villa...

Weren't we calling Vee, ATM in those days?

(Someone had to pay for booze and repairs)

Thanks for asking Cobie. Both of them are doing fine. Tommy & Shawn (to be honest I forget which one was Condo ~ Tommy I think, and which was Magnetic Kid ) both are back at school as of this past weekend for the start of their last year. Tommy is fully recovered and was able to make up some classes over the summer back home so he's not too far behind and should be able to graduate on time with his class this coming spring.

I'll let them know you were asking about them. Maybe they'll feel a wee bit guilty for not having popped in here in a while and put in an appearance before classes begin to take their toll.

I think you should redo it like Apollo's Olympian retreat - you know, lots of doric columns, marble, flying steeds, chariots and godlets-in-waiting. I'd like somewhere I can relax when I'm not at SHAKES.

Yes, I like that.

I would too!

Plus it would kinda go with the notion that Vee is similar to a classical Roman Senator on Legion World!

I found this picture which might give you some ideas about how to integrate the pool into the main structure. Note the tropical vegetation which should make you feel right at home, Vee.

<Peers around, looking for Vee...>

<fiddles with Chip in Head technology, people unaware of what he is doing>

Mm. Now that's interesting.

<eyebrows raised to the ceiling>

Splash!

Hrun jumps into the pool and swims a few lengths.

After a while he leaves the pool and stands next to one of the pool chairs and towels his naked heavily muscled body dry.

He see's one of Vee's Varangian guards and challenges him to a bout or two of Greco Roman wrestling.

unfortunatly as the two attempt to defeat eeach other a number of statues are knocked over and smashed.

Mmm...I like the idea of naked and heavily muscled denizens at Legion World...but with the rudiments of manners and good breeding, of course

(appears suddenly via the tesseract system)

Hm... Boy, it feels like a million years since Cobie, SLK, Condo, Magnetic Kid and I overran this place. Good times, those...

(scans the area quickly, then shakes his head)

Damn, still no sign of Vee.

(jumps back into the tesseract system)

Oh my Lord, I know where Vee is!
