I think I saw something like this in an issue of National Geographic...

There is a Matazonian dictionary in the forums somewhere, that may help.

Just remember, Scuttlers can be useful and were originally bred as an Anti-Cath device although this seems to have been knocked out of them
Spangles are evil and are to be avoided! So sayeth the Smiler. Also, the Spangle Squad (SS as I call them) will try to convince you otherwise, this specific chaos shouldn't be listened to. I still recon they wear black under their spangles and are just trying to take over the world... the only thing more insidious are the Monkey Overlords but this is neither the time nor place to mutter about such things...

You wanna try my latest concoction? Its a lovely aquamarine colour

Also something Smiler dear left out. Watch out for the drinks in this place they have some interesting side effects.

AND spangles are in fact the pasth to enlightenment. Scuttlers are indeed a touch feisty butnot as feisty as Cath. The rules of life apply here as they do in any place:
1) Don't poke anything you do not want to poke you back

2) Be nice to Cath for she will poke you first!

3) Spangles are the stuff that the universe is made of. Hence the fact that thy are the path to enlgihtenment. Trust the Spangles!!!!!!

Of course you should trust the spangles! I trust them and nothing's ever gone wrong with me...

*Starts twitching*

...I'm sure that's just the side effects of the drinks right?! *Twitches again and runs off*

Erm... no... twitching is surely a sign of over spanglification... my drinks are tested tried and true... apart from the ones I knock up for a laugh and test on you guys... erm... damn internal monolouge's messed up again... and there... and again! ...

an anomomous Wind-Smith once said



In here certain rules are negated by the existence of both Spangles, Scuttlers and smaaaaaaal aubergines so I'd be very careful in choosing where you sit

The little patches of Void still floating around also dont help.

They are however useful for rubbish disposal.

Don't talk about the elephant.

I have no idea what elephant your talking about there is no elephant why would there be an elephant espeacially not a big pink elephant.

And he doesn't spray spangles. no siree. No spangle spraying elephant here!!!!

Ok now I have reeeeeeeally bad images of pink spangle-crossed scuttlers the size of elephants.... I'm gonna sit in the corner and rock backwards and forwards until it goes away

*Hands smiler a pink spangled blankey*

Never mind sweetie, here get snuggled up under that until they AAAAlll go away!

*me starts skipping round the none exsistant elephant chucking spangles all over the place* The Anti Cath rarly go's away!

Hmmmm... What if there were an alternate universe where what would normally be considered you were the anti-you, and vice versa?

What if this is that universe?

What if it isn't?

Why can't I stop asking questions?

WHAT WOULD I DO FOR A KLONDIKE BAR?

There is only one Smiler!

The Anti Cath is unique and to be feared having turned to the spangle-side

And now I'm contemplating spanglecide... hmmmm *toddles off to the bar with blankey in tow*

Wouldn't that be "spanglicide"? Or is that the killing of people who use Spanglish?

spanglicide
spanglecide

spangle-cide is the killing of spangle hence teh spangle implied in its name
I know not of the spanglicide although Spanglish is kinda annoying, i understand me not understanding the Spanish but half the time I dont even understand the Enlish bits...

Anyway Spanglish is not the tongue of Weyr nor its tribe, there are however too many spangles in my humble opinion... oo oo oo talking of tongues I may have concocted an anti spangle drink... may need a guinee pig *looks around for a hapless victim*

Not me....

I vote that thingy!!! *points over to where a creature is stood leaning against the side of the bar*

erm... can you be more clear? I've not got my glasses on and FaerieRyn, Wyvern, Cath, Cheesmouse and yoursefl are all in that direction looking like thingies in the blur... dammit why do I stumble so far from the bar? Its not going to prop itself up and nothing but trouble lies there

Bar? Who says 'bar' anymore? Everyone says 'booze-a-torium' these days.

...

Wait, no-one says that? Why didn't you tell me?

...

Look, that was at least five years ago! That doesn't give you the right to withhold information from me!

...

I know, I know, but you coul'dve spared me a lot of embarassment! Don't want people to think I'm psycho or something.

Why we like Psychos? Cant you tell by the rest of the occupants of the tribe?
Smiler you could try it on the none exsistant pink elephant.

I cant drug experiment on offer gorgeous tasting beverages to non-existant things! Really! I cant see them for a start.

*Sees a big pink boulder looking thing hazing in and out of view*

Oh hold on, is that the elelphant? Damn the fumes of this bevvy must be kicking in

*looks back to the vat* Erm maybe I should put a lid on that...

Ooooh, aquamarine coloured... Pretty...

Run elephant Run!!!!!!!

*looks at the ground near the vat*

Erm... should the ground be vibrating like that?

I hope its that damn non-exist elephant...

*wanders in and snags a cushion, is recognized by scuttlers, is mobbed by wave of cheerful skuttlers, makes with the giving of the cookies, and is now surrounded by purring scuttlers*

*looks at the non-existant elephant*
*elephant looks back and shrugs*
*offers elephant a cookie as well*

*looks into pretty much empty cookie basket, has last cookie, gives a final flange scratch to nearest purry scuttler and wanders back out*

wow, vibrations and now I'm seeing blurs to

*steals the last cookie from the scuttler and throws it into the vat*

It seemed like a good idea at the time...

Eeep! But the cookie ingreedients will react with the VAT and...
Aggghhhhhhh!

*watches the cookie fall in slow mo, brings out a concealed pack of darts, sights up and lets one fly*

GAHK!! What have you done???

*the dart flys but only nips the edge of the cookie fracturing it into five pieces that drop into the vat*

um... this could get interesting

*jumps over the bar top and rummages for a brolley*

*scurries behind the bar*

But it's so pretty! And the scuttlers seem to like it...

erm... now, are the scuttlers drawn to the pinky purple fumes, the growing vibrations or the boiling bubbles popping off the top?

*watches tranfixed as half of the scuttler nation scuttle of in the direction of the vat*

Ooooh, pinky purple fumes....

*drawn towards vat*

Ohhhhh pretty...*takes a few timid steps towards it*

No! Musn't go towards the vat.....*Clings to the side of the bar for support*

Yay funky stuff!!!!

Kinda smells like the stuff growing out of that old sandwich bag under my bed. Except it isn't a sentient creature.

*As the scuttlers sloooooowly creep towards the vat Smiler thinks 'ah what the hell' and throws the remaining two darts at the vat for no apparent reason. Through a cunning angle probably not achievable under normal circumstances the first dart careens off the backside of the non-existant elephant and pierces the other side of the vat, instantly disolving, providing an escape of fluid leaking away from the scuttlers.*

Daaaaamm! That dart was pure tungston!

*To Smiler's eye the vat seems to be disolving in on itself or perhaps bubbling through the ground*

Um... did I do a bad thing???

And did anyone see where the other dart went?

*pops a bubble*

*BOOM! Cookie dust everywhere!*

*Looks up from a pile of broken furniture on the other side of the room, slightly dazed*

Smiler... I don't think you should throw darts around... The bubbles don't like being popped...

*Retrieves stray dart from the wheel-foot of a nearby scuttler*

Sorry Bob-65-nr

*Slips on a random spot of liquid and send the dart flying again*

*Foetal position!*

Wardrobe time! *disapears inside wardrobe*

Hey, I'm back!

*looks around*

*hugs the non-elephant*
*hides behind the non-elephant*

Oh my...you lot have been busy!

*redirects scuttlers towards the bar away from the rather sinister puddle of spangles and cauldron*

That's better if that lot drank that stuff, even touched it all hell would be let loose and as indestructable as the Weyr is even I have my doubts.

*throws family bible sized tome towards Smiler* as requested one updated manual, although I hasten to point out that being the severley abbreviated version there may be things missing.

*glaces askace at the pinkish, trunk waving invisible blur moving past the bar and blinks*
I see we have a few new visitors...make yourselves at home and be welcome friends.

*Leans on the bar and watches the bubbling puddle curiously whilst sipping old brand mutant cocktail*

Aahh tis good to be back!

Yay!!! wyvern!!! Spangles all around!!!!

Eeeeee Wyvy's back!!! *hands Wyvy cookies*

*Runs around throwing spangles everywhere* I propose we party!!!!

Erm... haven't we blown this place up like twice now? I seem to remember floating around in non-existence on little islands not too long ago?
Cant remember if I had something to do with that...

And when you say abbreviated, why are all the words running into one another...oooo clever, magic eye diagrams of the scuttlers

*Looks around*

WHAT! I didn't fart... the scuttlers did it!!!

erm... because they drank the bubbly stuff... honest

I don't have any spangles I want to throw them around!

There's spangles all over the place help your self.

Yay Spangles!!!!!
