Just got back from Freo

[callistra]

The freo markets vegie section was awfully quiet. It kind of made me nervous. I had done half a circuit when I realised - not a single vendor had screamed "Tomatoes, 2 kilos for a dorrah!" yet. It was eerie and disquieting. :-)

hee hee hee

Anyway, went and visited Tamara's shop Sun Moon Star Spiritual something and got some honey amber for Lil, plus some cedar wood shavings, sandalwood shavings, and cinquefoil, and sweet grass as well as my bookies that were on layby. *pats books* one of which happens to be a Beginners Guide to Gems and Crystals and the other happens to be ... c'mon, guess.... "A Kitchen Witch's Cookbook" by Patricia Telesco. Heh heh heh.

Now I have the urge to burn things, like the sweetgrass. I was thinking it would go very very nicely with some sage or a tiniest hint of sandalwood. Shall have to burn some stuff and see what takes my fancy!!
:-)

Good to see Tamara, she is looking well and happy. She pointed out all the new stuff she was getting and made me buy some. Forced, I tell you, forced! And these infrequent trips to her shop are exactly why I like to keep unusual and interesting shaped bottles and jars. :-) What the hell can I put wood shavings into??

There's a guy at the markets here who always yells "Cheapa, Cheapa. Hurry, hurry".

All.
Bloody.
Day.

It's like he has some kind of superhuman mutant vegetable hawking power. I guess the X Men didn't really think that was a cool enough power for him to join...

OooooooOOOOoooooOOOooooooOOooOoooOoo

OOOoooooo

i have to be in a superheros type of roleplaying shortly, where I have to think of a crap power.... think "mystery men" is the way it got summed up.

Maybe that's it - I speak only in Chinesie Hawkie....

Considering going to sin some time. Can you see me as a goth, though? :P

How about some Chairman Kaga Iron Chef Mutant skills.

With Yellow Capsicums as your power up. And some outrageous duds.

Your mutant power is to make combat so that you decide which weapon people can combat each other with.

In essense you reveal a secret weapon, which both sides must use. Before they begin combat.

They all have the same weapon and they have to follow the philosopphy behind the weapon in the fight. The person who fights closest in keeping with the philosophy of the weapon wins.

And there will be a panel of judges watching. Including a grumpy old Rhodes scholar. And a ditsy actress.

Although I can't really see a GM letting you do this, but it would be amusing.

Combat Iron Chef style.

Machete Battle

Ah the machete, forged as an instrument to cut down thick jungle growth, whilst traipsing through the Amazon. I remember my Master passing on these words as I cut a swath through the undergrowth.

"Strike with your blade pointing South"

Who's death scene will reign supreme?.

:)

Hey babe, if you want to come to Sin, let us know, but after melbourne please, and we'll bop along

;-)

You'll be fine, just wear white.
*evil grin*
Come to Ju's place before hand with us or whatever we decide to do
:-)

Well this guy is more your "generic wog" you know, maybe Greek, maybe Italian, maybe Turkish, Lebanese, Hungarian. No one knows.
I think he's Greek...

Anyway, in addition to speaking solely in Greek Hawkie, you could use this power to get people to buy massive bags of apples, peaches, lemons, etc for $2 each. They'd be unable to resist.

This way it's an actual power, with no real use.
Note: all the guys in Mystery Men had actual power (kinda) but they were crap.

Ah. Good point.

If you prefer, we could all hit somewhere for dinner in the Perthy type area, which would be better for you. If you have money. If not, then we can hit somewhere for coffee or dessert before we hit Sin.

But anyways, one thing at a time.

Being in the right city at the right time first.

Pfah. That should be easy, I'm sure we both know where Perth is. :)

Terracon prices go up on tuesday, so you guys'll be paying slightly more, though you might want to poke those of your hut that haven't paid yet but are still in perth.

Cool, thanks for the warning.
:-)

I figure they all have jobs, they can deal. And those that don't, John and I can look after the difference.
:-)

I'm looking forward to it!
