OOC: Seeq'ing roleplay?

Tuesday, 11-16, starting about 6 pm SLT, in Seeq Emet in the Wadi.

Make up a seeq-only name, throw it on a flip title, take off your shoes and be a Desertborn for an hour or two, socializing at the end of the day. Dinner is done, the kids sent to bed, it is time for the adults

Outside, the temperature is dropping with the setting sun, but it is warm in the seeq. Women wear summery dresses with long skirts. Men wear long or short kilts or pants, and go topless or wear openfront shirts.

Raconteur Staff

GROUNDPORT, Al Raqis -- After protests that regular Highport shuttle flights continue to "slaughter wildlife", the IISS announced a total review and overhaul program for the aging shuttle fleet.

"Reduce Environmental and Wildlife Impact" is high in the list of program goals. "We remember Space Bat, and agree more should be done." says Allie Reiland, IISS.

Golf Developer Tramples Teen Vandals

Raconteur Staff
 
SOLEN'S DRIFT, Al Raqis - Arren Solen is pressing charges on three teens after they damaged a blade of grass on his 'golf course.' Solen explains, "My company has been working very hard to bring golf to Al Raqis. The tourism trade would greatly help the economy. I know pressing charges for damaging a single blade of grass sounds very petty, but after 4 years of work we only have 3 surviving blades, and these kids bending even one of them is a serious setback!"

Every Tuesday Night in Wadi Emet

WADI EMET, Al Raqis - Every Tuesday night starting at 6 pm, we will be holding a relaxa-night in the Seeq in Wadi Emet. Come roleplay with us as an alternate-personna Desert Born. Enjoy the dances of the DB, meet the Naib and the Reverend Mother, sneer at the offworlders, laugh at the Constable.

In the morning, you are your old self...mining spice, plotting to smuggle, thinking about a cold beer at the Water's End, knowing very little about the Desert Born.

Scout Sundays have been postponed while Baroun Tardis has been fully consumed with new features and debugging on many new HTCS features and extensive core changes, due in the 1.06 release.
Kira/IISS news and HTCS classes will resume shortly, in support of the 1.06 launch.
