Before I am guilty of the same crime I have accused others of, I wish to make it known that I am lurking here in the shadows of this interesting world.

In time, I may participate, but for now, simply know that I am here, have been for a while, and will be for longer. When I have more time, I may pitch in, but for now, I am simply something you think you might see in the shadows, that ends up being nothing when you check closely

Lurk * Lurk * Lurk *

'Whhhahooo!!! Finally I have it....

Starry leaps into the common room screeching with glee and jumping around.

'Oooh it's soooo wild ... wow!! You shoulda all been there!! First I tried optic beams on the statues and objects d'art in the garden ...

...Wow you shoulda seen that picillo.... phew.... Smashed to smithereens, ... ohhh, and that really big thingy with the funny face ... hehehe, I couldnt help laughing at its look without a nose!!...

Fantus wanted a go ... so she shape shifted into her dragon form and we tried it in flight... ooooh it soooo works better from a distance!! Hehe few extra valleys around... oooh, and perhaps a new volcano too.... geeesh that was soooo fun!!! ....'

She looks up from her monologue, and sees the look on the faces of all around her...

All eyes and mouths are wide open as they stare.

What?' she asks as she is handed a goblet of drink from a servant with a face like this :/

.... er says Starry 'WHAT??!'

.... She trips over an invisible thing. ~Darned lurkers! ~ Thinks Starry.

K.O. helps her to her feet and quietly asks 'whats with the Alice Cooper look?'

Starry seeks her reflection in the pewter goblet.... :O.....AAAAAAAaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!

It seems the optic beams have melted Starry's make-up, and she looks like a cross between a panda bear and an Alice Cooper....

AAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhh ... screeches Starry as she exits to the powder room, via Momsters outstretched hand holding a tub of "panda eye remover".

~Sheet ... shoulda mail ordered the accessories that Optic Beam Manual recommended! ~ Thinks Stargrace.
