Highly distinguished list members, I am greeting you for the first time, and I know you're trying to keep this list small, but I've been trying to find out how to join for awhile now. I hope I am welcomed into the family, because I've read all of Paula, Coyote, and EVB's concert reviews, not to mention all the rest of the Spook's, and longed to be a part of a group so serious about MM. I have been surrounded by newbies for way too long, and talking to you guys would be such a treat. I solemnly swear to post following the rules of this list, to give respect to all members, and to speak my mind intelligently. Will you let me into your home? Cuz' I'd really like to stay...

Waiting with white knuckles,

Sadie

Danse Macabre:
*turns to Obi Won*

We cannot teach her. The girl has no patience.

"She will learn patience"

Hm. Much anger in her, like her mother.

"Was I any different when you taught me?"

Ha. She is not ready.

"Danse! I am ready. I... Ben! I can be a Spooky Kid. Ben, tell him I'm ready"

Ready, are you? What know you of ready? For eight hundred years have I trained Spooky Kids. My own counsel will I keep on who is to be trained!
A Spook must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind... This one a long time have I watched. Never her mind on where she was. Hmm? What she was doing. Hmph. Adventure? Heh! Excitement? Heh! A Spook craves not these things... You are reckless!

"So was I, if you'll remember"

She is too old. Yes, too old to begin the training. Will she finished what she begins?

"I won't fail you - I'm not afraid"

Oh, you will be. You will be.

Dom dom dom... DOM da DOM... DOM da DOM,

Jeff
