At the moment, there are no more tasks at hand for you, dear consort.

EDIT: I don't want you tired when we meet. [Big Grin]

You could walk through the streets wearing nothing but your own skin and your subjects would still respect you.

But I defer to your judgement,seeing as how all truth, beauty, and wisdom flows from your divine form.

*lowers himself to a kneeling postion and bows his head to the floor before her feet* [Hail]

After a bit of thought, I'll pay for the wedding if I'm choosen as your King. Oh, and add to it the fact that AoD will gain a strong, just, and worthy mate.

So why don't you just skip to picking me, after all no one else has even tried to be your consort or your worthy companion. [Big Grin]


*thinking to himself* "Not that she won't choose me anyway after tonight's meeting in her quarters"

Oh dear consort, we shall see if indeed you are indeed what you say. It's almost time!

I am worried at the thought that no one else is participating as much as they used to though.

I will dare! [Big Grin] For I have a question of uttmost importance (oh, great Zarak!)

Uhm... can I be the hotdog-seller?

In my spare time, I can also act as your special security force and exterminate all your enemies [Big Grin] Traitors, beware!

oolung, you are charged with providing the necessary provisions to those in need of hot dog goodness. You may be my body guard as well, it's a great combination I must say. Your only requierment as memeber of the "Zanarkical Secret Service" is to wear a suit and sun glasses, the ear phone thingy with the wire ('cause it's cool) and you must do a body guard pose when I snap my fingers.

The Zanark has spoken.

Right you are!
I hear and obey you, mistress.
<puts on a suit and sun glasses>

I'll just have to stack all the hotdogs into my pockets while doing the body guard pose.
Hmmm, I could also devise some sort of clever weapon hidden in hotdogs, that would be handy...

Well, it could mean anything, as long as there is no Official Calendar (nor Official Keeper of one) appointed... [Dont Know]

Yet, the Total Eclipse that I foresee is indubitably a sign of something important. [Cool]

Hmmmmm, this is something that should be further examined. Perhaps you could take on thiss task so that when the Zanark returns she could know of this events meaning. I am sure she would reward you for your loyal servitude.

<returns from overseeing the latest additions to the enormous stone castle, designed by yours truly>

We've completed the new Hogwarts section, including the great hall with the sky-image ceiling. It is ready for your enjoyment, oh Zanark.

Next we're working more on the swimming glob in the low-g playground area, (parts of the glob keep breaking free and drenching the paintball jungle) and certain of the 4-d secret passageways connecting distant parts of the keep (just to make it faster to get around). If you have any architectural requests, let me know. We'll try to work them in.

Yay! Paintball!! We must appoint a headmaster to the new Hogwarts as well. You are offered the aforementioned position, Tatiana. Will you accept?

The Zanark has spoken.

P.S. Advent, my dear consort, I was unavailable when you AIMed me as my classroom required my prescence.

Yes, it is quite a serious matter, and this “puzzle” cannot be solved without the participation of our beloved Zanark. And I insist on the Official Calendar issue. Why?
Simple: as you have all noticed, the Pokadoodle civilisation is already so great that the Sun never sets on it. (Remember the ancient British Empire? [Wink] )
Other than explaining the complaints we receive continuously from the rest of the smallest civilisations on the other side of the world, this also leaves us without a working definition of eternity / eons / centuries / decades / years / months / seasons / weeks / days / hours / minutes / second / milisecons / microseconds / nanoseconds / picoseconds / femtoseconds / etc [Big Grin]
This way, for all I know, it might have passed an eternity already since the birth of Pokadoodle civilisation! Although I doubt it.

I don’t want to be (too) blunt, but I cannot accept the position of Official Keeper of the Calendar, my ignorance on the workings of the time-space continuum of the Pokadoodle makes it impossible for me. Plus, I reckon it would be a full time ( [Big Grin] ) job, and I already am too optimist for that.

The official Sumitpo.

Does that mean that we all have awsome tans? If so then woooho!

Perhaps the reason we have no sense of time is because time does not affect our grand kingdom. After all, the Divine Zanarch is an Immortal Godess.


I bow myself before the divine one. [Hail]


p.s. I don't want to be time keeper. Being a royal consort/blacksmith/leader of poulation control is already enough for me.

I speak only the truth. Her divine form must be worshiped for she is all that is wise, just, and beautiful in this place. And the divine one answers when she chooses to. And whenever that is it is good enough for her loyal servants.

Space Mogol, your application is accepted. BTW Advent, don't bow to my statue, it is just an image of myself, not me. Stand up. Arise my consort, and instead pay homage to me, your Zanark.

I proclaim myself Head of the State Church and chief spiritual advisor to Our Jewel, She Who Shall Be Adored, She Who Shall Never Die. I prostate (er, prostrate) myself in thy service, willing (though humble) to shoulder the burdens of the kingdom if ever She (and the dolts, er, minions beneath her) shall leave our presence.

I begin my shadowy backhanded plots to usurp, er, I begin my upfront loyal counsel to bring faith to the faithless and guidance to She Who Needs No Guidance. I vow never to dabble in treaties with those who might want to, shall we say, redirect Our Jewel's power structure to something less, shall we say, centralized in Her favor.

Call me Father Silvania of the First Church of Pokadoodle. Services begin prompty at ten o'clock, and please make sure to wear purple. Chickens are not allowed, though goats are welcome.

.....I do not trust this estavares my Zanarch. And how dare he attempt to userp your power. I suggest that a council of choosen wise men and women would be advisable, but at any time you can overthrough there decisions at any time you so choose. Thus establishing a small amount of order while your divine presence is absent from our lives here in Pokadoodle.


Thus asks your loyal concubine. [Hail]
