Where am I?

[Robert]

Narrator: In one of the infinite universes that intersect here at the Many Worlds Pub, Robert, the fearless ToeQuest leader, was struck by lightning and instantly died. The lightning was artificially produced by a weather machine created by an estranged member of ToeQuest, to seek revenge on Robert for banning him. Immediately following Robert's death, he was reincarnated as an Earthworm. We now tune in to Robert's life as an Earthworm as he slithers into the Many-Worlds Pub. You should read the following in a very high-pitched squeaky kind of voice.....

"Ooommeee god! Where am I. Why are my arms tied behind my back? Why are my legs tied together? Maybe if I just wiggle my body I can move forward". ** wiggle, wiggle wiggle ** "Oh, it works! I moved a little bit. But where am I? What are those bright lights! What are all those loud noises? Why does the ground vibrate so much. I feel soooo slimy!" ** wiggle, wiggle, wiggle **

Narrator: Robert is confused and does not realize that he died and was reincarnated. Being an Earthworm, Robert finds it very difficult to think and doesn't really know where he is or what is happening. We continue now with Robert's new life.

** wiggle, wiggle, wiggle ** "Oh this is fun. I'm getting the hang of this now. "

[Mikal]

As Robert the worm was practicing wiggling, Mikal who is very observant spotted his wiggling little presence...oh my gosh guys...look at this little worm....stop walking and dancing your gonna crush the poor little guy. Mikal instantly picked the worm up and placed it on the table..
Hey lets call him Robbie the worm...afterall this is Robert's bar...
Robbie the worm instantly felt the difference between the rough tiled floor and the new smooth table...
Katrina, Gs dog, came over to have a look and G tried to hold her back in case she would eat Robbie...all Robert saw were long, sharp fangs and was sure it was going to be the end of him...
Labelwrench brought Caramel the horse over and Robert looked into a long, protruding face....Robert thought oh my gawd...the people here are ugly...
Wick came over and set Crick the Cricket down beside Robbie the worm and by then Robert..quite sure he was in a huge nightmare, had curled all up in a winding, circle....Crick said jeez unwind fellow, this is a pub. I'd tell you to let your hair down, but your quite hairless so can't do that....
Suddenly G focused in on Robbie the worm....Robert began to scream in worm language...uurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...his little worm heart was beating excessively...G was an avid fisherman....Robert could almost feel the hook going through his slimy body.....uurrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Mikal sensing Robbie's terror placed her hand around his worm body to protect him....
Then....a strange thing happened....

[G_burnett]

"Whiffle whiffle whiffle" was the translator emit in every ear of the many alien patrons of the bar to the hand now covered mighty being Robert had become screams of fear ...

Mistaking the intent of glare by g in presumption and judgment and Mikal forgetting her biology of earth worms reproductive nature to self reproduce and the cause knowing this, of G the stare of intentness,

Robert in his all new almighty body transformation in pure ignorance and no meant ill intent just being who he was now ...

.... propagated to the unshielded.

Luckily in the ever turned on particle stopper, combed twisted teeth the rise to the armor of twisted magnetic fields swirling all in pulse to cease of motion and capable of stopping all on the plank borrowed from CERN through a secret portal and worm hole ... protected g.

Prying through the encased hand the search of Robert was clear to graham ... doing only what has to be done he did nothing, and sang a low bass rhythmic chant to guide the way and on his way indeed Robert went ...

"Wiggle wiggle wiggle... "

[Mikal]

Robbie the worm,having escaped Mikal's protective hand...wiggled straight ahead on the smooth table top...he stopped at a big mug of strangely colored liguid....hmmm wonder what this is?? Robbie the worm decided in his worm brain to kind of curl up around the mug...Robert mused, maybe this is how worms have memories....
lightning flashed....Robert instantly became paralyzed by a huge, gigantic worm headache....uurrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Robert screamed!!! Oh my gawd...that stuff must be poison...I must have touched it at some point in my past life...
Robert drew away quickly from the mug....his worm brain pounding and his worm heart racing.....
Then someone approached the table....Robbie faintly had somekind of worm recognition....


Mikal

[labelwench]

Caramel, newly enlightened to the lifeforce of all beings, looked down her long muzzle at the entity that was Robert. Being an empath, Caramel was attuned to Robet's personal vibration and would recognize him in an form or forum, despite her poor depth perception. She mentally transferred her observations to Labelwench, which was why the two of them frequently shared a "far and away" look, between intervals of focused intensity.

Mikal seemed to have matters well in hand, both literally and figuratively, and even Graham and Katrina would dare not bring any harm to Robert, although in fairness to them both, Caramel attested that they were both much gentler beings in spirit than their forceful, or fearsome countenance (in the case of Katrina) might presume.

Caramel drew her four legs closer together, inspecting the circumference of floor surrounding her, while Labelwench observed the patrons and their reactions with interest......

This might not be the best time to request a round of beverages, besides which, what would she offer Robert, in his present manifestation?

[Mikal]

While Labelwench was pondering what to offer Robbie the worm to drink....Wick quietly strode to the table and collected Crick and Robbie...placing them into his bamboo cage....he disappeared out the door of the pub whistling a little tune into the dawning night air....

Wick had not went too far and was quite unmindful that just abit behind him..Crick and Robbie had slipped suddenly out of the cage and fallen into the darkness

Robbie had no wings like Crick so closed his worm eyes and with baited breath waited for a slimy, ughey landing.....it never came....just endless falling....crick and Robbie had fallen down a very, deep wormhole....

Crash landing!!! thousands of celebrating wormdurites....then silence

Robert heard worm voices...."don't be afraid..you have landed in the land of wormderOZ"

poof.....a very ugly yet beautiful worm appeared....hello worm Robbie...who might this delightful creature be who is with you?? Robert stumbled over words..."this is Crick-toto...my fellow journeyer..."

Welcome to WormderOz...you are our hero...you have landed on Wormcentripede and killed the wicked worm of the East....Robert stopped his worm brain from reeling long enough to ask...."Are we hallucinating"""???

Poof!!! Another huge worm appeared...."Hello...I am the good worm of the North and I am here to give to you the 32 pairs of silver shoes from the dead Wormcentripede....
Robert thought...wow, I hope they are not having a global economic collapse here...jeez one pair of shoes is enough...but 32 when times are tough...his thoughts drifted off as he realized that he had just mastered wiggling and now would have to master wiggling-walking...

Poof!! another worm appearance....I am Glenderworm a very magical creature..Robert....hmmm not bad but this wormbody is a problem....

Glenderworm continued...I Know your on a quest to find your real home and personbeing....I have created for you a wormbrick road...you must follow it...you will meet characters good and bad...You must watch out for Cyclopsworm...the wicked worm of the west who is controlled by the wise worm...Sir Fredrick....You will be trying to reach The Great Wizard of Wormdur0Z.....Worminvinsibleweefoo....he is a vortex creator and the only genius who will help you find the correct vortex to take you home.....
Wormwarp speed to you Robbie and Crick-toto

Poof....there was a vanishing.....

[leskey]

So the unlikely companions started off on their quest to find The Great Wizard of Wormdur0Z. This journey, indeed, quest, would prove to be a combination of greatly divided perspectives: Crick raggedly taking flight in leaps and bounds, while the newly incarnated Robbie tediously wiggling across every minute grain of sand, following the joints of the paving in a zig-zag path along the wormbrick road. At least Crick would be able to keep watch for the Cyclopsworm while he waited for Robbie to catch up.

But, before commencing the journey, they must first ponder what use could be found for the 32 pairs of silver shoes from the dead Wormcentripede...

[G_burnett]

as the other members of the pub were too busy with there latex shield now some near suffocating under the protection trying to get it off (a sort of oxygen mask drop from the ceiling to protect the patrons having taken place) laser guided to each, Robert the worm made good his escape through the portal with a little help and very little wiggle wiggle wiggle smuggling and higling with wick to the deed.

There was very little noise in the Pub except for the female version of protection, small aspirin pills that were to be held between the knees by all the ladies, now dropping to the floor in frustration in a clatter.

(Tarina and Mikal of course kept there's in place having Austin nearby.)

"Stroke the ivory!" some one yelled and as the drinks were refilled things started to get normal again.

[leskey]

But of course, things were never really normal in the Many Worlds Pub...Graham, having just roused from his latest hallucination (he really should stop taking that stuff!) and always cognisant of the need to have a hang-over cure on hand, threw himself on the floor, where he scrambled about in an ungainly fashion trying to gather the many dropped asprin pills as the sound of music rose to compete with the cacophony of the carousing characters around the bar.

Meanwhile, back in the land of wormderOZ...

[Mikal]

Robbie the worm was struggling immensely to master his 32 shoes....wow, he mused...wiggling was not too bad but this wiggling..walking is a tad more difficult...these little shoes are bumping into each other...

Robert said a silent prayer that he could soon discard this new, slimy..tranformative worm body....Crick who was rather hopping, jumping and flying abit could hear Robbie the worm groaning...."jeez could you stop your moaning and get a move on it....this worm chick said we gotta watch for meeting characters and we don't know if they are going to be bad or good so will you shape up and help me here????

Crick had no sooner got the words out and he could see someone fast approaching.....Robbie the worm felt his worm body tighten up in fear of what might be coming.....

Crick stopped as the character approached them....
