Ok, so I'm way late, but here is my response to the demand for dance steps. Not too interesting, Leyton let me down, but don't worry...I threw him under the bus... Laughing

HAHA I love it! Thanks for the blind mention and this time around, a space considering of course, I WILL Bring Sexy back to T.V!

 		I'M In the game !!! Very Happy
Ok, sorry for the long post but I was not sure if I was in yet or not.
It was kind of a back door I took. If you know me, then you know this is not unusual with me.
First, How I did it. I went to the news paper and noticed the classified ads. So I applied for a job.
Wanted: Brave traveler willing to dust the cabinets in the Governor's master bedroom."

Quote:
You find yourself in a small room with a long, undecorated dinner table and a sink. At the head of the table sits the ghost of an old man. He is wearing a tuxedo.



"Sit down," he tells you with his arms crossed on the table. "I hear you are calling about the position. We are very glad to have an applicant, of course, but we must also do a rather rigorous testing process before we can hire someone into the Governor's Mansion. Would you be willing to provide a character reference in the form of a letter of recommendation, a resume, and one visual example of your skills? Simply tell me where this information can be located, and I will deliver it immediately to the Governor for his final decision."


My response:
Quote:
As requested I have attached a provide character reference in the form of a letter of recommendation from a former employer.

I am a craftsman with many skills and an adventures spirit. In these hard times I am willing to take any work I can get.

My resume:

In 80 I was in the dungeons of Zork. Where I traveled, explored, and learned about traps.

In 81 I bought a book and was building my own dungeons and traps for Zork..

In 83 I was able to get my hands on two of four books about Zork for study. "The Forces of Krill" and "The Cavern of Doom"

In 86 I built an advance dungeon for Zork as a class project. I was given an A+ for the course before my dungeon was finished.

I was a butler in my most recent job. Unfortunately my former employer will be unavailable for the next ten to twenty years. My work was never apart of his ill actions nor did I pass judgment one way or the other.

Letter of recommendation

To oom it may concern

Greystoon tis ta best lad ou coud evr hav. E tis da best skilled ladie I noo. Noon bettar. Treet em well, lik a broothar, en e'll be loyal as a pup. Sooch a lad be welcoom in me clan eny day. I ave a given name foor em. As e as erned it. KUN al tit mens "strong as a wulf"

May the look o de Irish be wit ya. Ye sword nevr break. En a kool breeze blow yer Kilt.

Conleth Clancy The Red


I also sent a funny cartoon. In return I received this.

Quote:
The butler looks over your information and nods several times as he reads. He adjusts the tiny glasses on his face twice and even speaks aloud to himself. "Mmmm… yes," he says. "Conleth Clancy. I've never had an unreliable recommendation from him… Oh, and dungeon experience, I see… yes, I will take this to the Governor immediately." He stands and adjusts his jacket with dignity. "If you would please wait here." With that, the butler exits the room via stairs off to the left.

You are alone in the kitchen. There is a long table and a sink. A stairway is to your left, and there is a small door to your right. Behind you is a door that appears to lead to a downstairs entrance to the mansion. There is a note on the door that reads, "NOT TO BE OPENED WITHOUT PERMISSION."

The ghost of the old lady examines your shirt and hums to herself in a low, grunting way. "Mmmm," she says. "Apparently you are just the person I have been waiting for. Yes." She bends over, creaking as she goes, and lifts a basket of clothes from the closet floor. The old woman hands them to you. "Mend these," she says. "There are several items: one pair of pants, two fancy dresses, and five button-up blouses. These must be mended before the Great Ball."
You look at the heap of clothes and then back at the old woman.
"By 'mend,' of course I mean 'redesign,'" she tells you. "They are all lumpy and dull." It is true; the clothes are not interesting in any way. "I want you to come up with a good design for these clothes and mend them. Make them something special. Show me your ideas." She steps past you and walks across the room. "I'll meet you later on in the kitchen." Without opening the door, the old woman walks through the wall and is gone. You are alone in the room with a basket of clothes.



o.o oooookaaaay... ^^

 		Thanks Greystone! You gave me an idea I didn't even see there was a 'classifieds' on the wordpress site!! Good going.

Looking today I have found the following ad

Quote:
Wanted: Skilled traveler willing to eradicate ghost roaches from Governor's kitchen.


So I have shot off this email:

Quote:
To whomever this concerns,

My name is Leyton Stone and whilst reading the latest edition of Transition Times I have come across a classified ad for The Governor seeking a Ghost-Roach 'Eradicator'?

I would like to get more information and/or contact details on whomever it is I should speak to, about filling this vacant role. I have no doubts in my mind being a previous traveler to the Village that I will be able to perform my duties with ease.

Thank you,

-L.D.S


Now again, it's about wait and see I suppose lol Very Happy

I considered applying for that, but decided that as much as I hate cockroaches it would be a poor idea ._. I'll wait my turn in line!

See the thing is, it's not like it's cheating it was put there for people to find. I personally wouldn't consider it pushing to the front of the line or anything; it was just another way the PMs have given us to enter the game.

Oh, I didn't mean it like that! Just that it was not an opportunity I'd want to take ._.

(Last time I saw a cockroach I had a panic attack. It was in my ROOM on my BED in ran onto my HAND)

 		T.V.'s reply to my dance:

Quote:
You dance for the swarm until something changes. The dust is no longer just dust. It is forming a solid mass, standing in front of you – a beautiful woman! She saunters up to you, slides her strange, sandy fingers across the brim of your hat, and whispers, "That's a good dance. Teach me some more?"

You gulp and hold out your arms. She steps closer. Though she is beautiful from a short distance, up close you see nothing but the grains of sand that have created her, and you cough on the smell of stale dirt.
But you comply. The two of you whirl around the room, waltzing slowly while she sings something sad and slow under her breath.

It is not long before you notice that she is not herself – the image of the woman in the dust is slowly falling apart in your arms, and little specks of dirt are whisking away into the air. Very quickly, she is disappearing, but you continue the dance until there is barely anything left.

Finally, as if nothing had ever happened, she is gone. There is only one speck of dirt remaining in your left palm.

You are alone in the middle of the house with a piece of dirt in your hand.


My reply:

Quote:
"Wow, that was crazy...", I mumble aloud as I cock my hat back on my head.

I raise my hand up and examine the remaining piece of dust carefully...

 		Shocked Silly Oh Crap!
I am flying around the mansion.
Now what do I do? Damn it Jim! I'm NOT a doctor!

Quote:
Your first thought is to find clues or traps. With no clear preference for one or the other, you happen upon a trap first. You duck down under the table to see what is beneath, and there you find a large, red button. No one could possibly be expected to resist that, and you don't. You press it.

Instantly, you feel a terrible sensation as you drop through the floor and slide rapidly through the ground, up, through the walls, across the top of the mansion, and down again through the walls. When you stop with your feet on the floor, you are dizzy and a little nauseated, but you soon begin to focus on what you see: you are in a silver laboratory. There are many things nearby, including a long operating table, a set of vials, and an enormous, bubbling container in the middle of the room.

Though you are surprised and excited, you can't help but worry about the fact that the butler told you to stay put.


I think I should not touch anything and just look for the door.

You come up with several fantastic ideas for mending the clothes and then walk to the door of the room to see if your supervisor is there. You knock, but nothing happens. Then you open the door, but no one is there. You are looking out into a long, dark, undecorated hallway. There are several doors and a stairway ahead of you. You are standing in the servant's room, looking out into the hallway.
"Down here, " a voice calls. It is the laundress, and she sounds very far away.


Quote:
„Down there?", I call back. All these doors confuse me.
"Sorry, I can't fly through walls, where should I go?", I ask, still shouting.



Big house ^^

Very nice design!

So here's T.V.'s reply to my request to inspect the grain of dust:

Quote:
You look closer at the piece of dust. There is something very special about it. It is tiny in your hand, but it feels as heavy as a marble. The speck glints at you as if it were reflecting some light, and you feel oddly gleeful, as if having the dirt nearby makes you complete.
"Where is she?"
You spin around to see a hulking ghost at the door, his trousers ripped, and his hair greasy. The top of his head nearly touches the ceiling, and he is leaning over. This is an enormous ghost.
"I know she's in here," he says. "Give her up."
The dirt in your hand quivers.
"Listen," the hulking ghost demands, "I know you're hiding her. Just bring her out, and no one'll get hurt." He stalks toward you, fists balled.


My reply:

Quote:
"Oh boy...", I mutter to myself.

Backing up, I quickly turn to the cabinet to inspect it again while the menacing ghost approaches.

"How do I always get myself into these messes?", I ask aloud as I frantically search the cabinet for something to distract or fool the ghost with, clutching the piece of dust closely to my chest as I search.

 		Leyton Stone, sounds like you are on the right track.
Lairosiel, Nice dress.
FSURobbie, Pocket that dust ball!!!

Ok, here was my move:


Quote:
The ghost butler told me to stay put!
I now know where this room is should I ever need it. I don't think I should touch anything here in the doctors chambers.
I need to find the door and get back to the kitchen before the ghost finds that I am gone.
Maybe there is another large red button around here that will get me back faster


This came back:
Quote:
There's one thing to be said for you, and that is that you think on your feet. Except, of course, when you are thinking by crawling across the floor underneath the long operating table. You hope that there is another red button somewhere… and there is! Just under the table, you see a great button exactly like the one you pressed down in the kitchen. Not wanting to be missed, you push the button, and the floor opens underneath you. Instantly, you are zooming downward through the mansion walls, and sideways to the right under the floor. Then you pop back up and find yourself beneath the kitchen table.

What is that you hear? Someone is coming down the stairs!

With a jolt, you leap up to your feet just as the butler appears.

"Thank you for waiting," he says. "I am pleased to be able to offer you the position for which you have applied. The Master Bedroom is just next to the Laboratory, which you can access by pressing the red button beneath this table." He pats the table. "Do not enter the Governor's Bedroom without listening in through the door first, or without knocking EVER. Once you have entered the empty room, you will find the necessary supplies for the job next to the bookcase. Should you require anything at all, do not hesitate to contact me."

The butler turns to leave and then looks back. "Well, get started," he says. "The Governor does not like to have dusty shelves."



Ok, it looks like I got the job. Back to the lab for me.

I also noticed in the e-paper that my job was removed from the classifieds.
I see the other job is still listed. Leyton Stone must still be interviewing.

 		Hey Guys,

I'm in the blacksmith's house. In the cabinet I found a life bead and a 'transporter device' with the following instructions:

Quote:
8\4|3| 8\7|2\6|7/7\6/7|8\3|7| 3\3|8/4/2/3| 2/2\6| 6/6|5/9/ 8\2\5|3| 9/6/8| 8\6/ 7\5/2\2/3|7/ 9/6/8| 4|2\8/3| 2\5/7|3|2\3\9/ 3|9|7\5/6/7|3|3\ 2|3|3/6/7|3|.


Can anyone help me with that?

A ghost has appeared and demanded it back unless I can prove I'm the 'adventuring type'!
