April 2003 Edition
Welcome to the first edition of the Laura Informer!
This is pretty basic stuff
I know, but as we move along hopefully we'll get more to talk about.
But as the administration has just now taken office, it seems this
kind of start is appropriate.
Laura
offically opened on Darkside Chat on March 5th 2003. Announcements
and classifieds were posted on the message boards of DSC, AlterRealm,
and Webmaze on March 8th.
March
7th We had 8 users on at once. Not bad for a non advertised home
if I do say so. Two Panthers from SMPL visited and arranged some
trade at the LEP outside the city. I got a nice larl pelf for some
medical supplies and chocolate. (The actual pulldown was added on
March 8th, so the RP was all in the Forest Outskirts)
March
8th We had a very interresting visitor, a slave by the name of rook,
property of Witness, believed to be of the Kassar (DSC). The slave
arrived at the north gate, though how I'll never know. She bumped
into me, and then was taken for a bath, since it smelled like she hadn't
had one in quite some time. After a little bathing the girl had an
lil prong scar on her face most indicative of the PK Thieves Guild. Shortly
threreafter, my coin pouch landed in the water as well. By law of
the City States, the slave was branded as a thief and detained. Word
will be sent to her owner for reclaimation.
March 8th also brought us a new arrival. A young peasant
boy named lathan was found outside the city gate and brought back to
the hall. After being spoken to, the boy felt that submission was
in his best interest and Rianna Llyonesse willingly obliged him and accordingly
renamed him. Please make adam{CoL} feel welcome.
March 9th a gift from Silom, Builder of the Isle of Scagnar,XC
was collared to Garou MacKaine. Please make fyrestorm {GMK} feel
at home.
March 10th Witness of Kassar, DSC bargained for the release of
her slave rook {Witness}. Details of that transaction can be
found in The Precedents of Law.
March 10th also is a happy occasion for one of O/our now former
citizens. Magdlen Bloodaxe joined in Free Companionship with Scorpius
Stormbringer on the Isle of Scagnar, XC that night. The then exiled
Bloodaxe child was then granted one boon by her father Donar Bloodaxe
on the happy occassion. Magdlen turned the decision over to her FC
Scorpius, who asked if His woman could be granted citizenship back to the
Isle. Donar accepted, and asked if that was what Magdlen wanted.
In front of the gathered masses (17 people beisides herself), she
could not refuse. We of Laura wish her best of fortune and O/our
blessings. Luckily, She has assured Me that she will be returning
often, so Her steddings will remain intact for such purposes.
March 15th welcomes
toni {CoL} to the ranks of the slaves. She was collared and branded
that night. Please make her feel welcome.
March 16th brings a new
girl into O/our fold. vana {CoL} joins our city. Rumor has
it she's a bit new to Gor. Please help her know what it is to be
Gorean.
As of March 17th, the slave fyrestorm {GMK} is in charge of training
new slaves. Be aware that unlike other homes, fyre will be allowed
to train slaves as they were trained in the books, and it was not like
having a conversation with Kermit the Frog either. References to
such slave training procedures and the slaves who carried them out can
be found in books 5 (Assasins of Gor) and 10 (Tribesmen of Gor). Please
do not take offense to anything that she does, but in an effort to be more
"Gorean" she has been given permission to use whatever means necessary to
accomplish her task.
