Let's not forget that She may be in a good mood, especially if her Servitor is on fire for a good reason. In one scenario, a Malakite of Fire was crouching behind the bar with a Very Mysterious Briefcase. All he knew was that the Boss wanted it and there were six diabolicals who wanted, fighting him (and themselves) on the other side of the bar. Plus there were all those bats outside... He decided that it was time for the Calvary. He doused himself with cheap booze, activated his Smite attunement and began a long chant to summon his Superior. He stood up, toasted one of Saminga's Impudites and boggled the rest since none of them had Perceived him earlier. Since ethanol burns with a low heat, he was still Smiting when Gabriel took possession of the VMB. The only diabolicals to escape were the scruffy Media couple (love-smitten Lilim & Calabite).

Pee Kitty" Subject: IN> [TETHER] The World's Largest Carved Mushroom WARNING - This post is rated PG-13 and contains a Tether to Kobal. If you understand that, you can make your own informed decision about whether to continue reading. You have been warned. BELIEVE IT OR NOT - This is (supposedly) based on a true story. I did not write the vignette. It was told to me by a friend; the man in the story is her friend, who relayed this incident in his life to her pretty much verbatim. It happened on the way to his relatives' house. The location has been slighly obscured intentionally. - ---cut here--- En route to his cousins' place, the couple noticed the sign on the interstate: THE WORLD'S LARGEST CARVED MUSHROOM NEXT EXIT A painted metal rectangle, it was obviously not an official road sign, but it caught her attention. "Honey, we've got extra time. Let's go check it out!" "Forget it - it sounds lame." At her insistence ("It'll be quaint... it'll be such a cute story to tell our friends..."), he conceded, and the next exit took them into a densely wooded rural area. After a half-mile or so of driving, another handmade sign loomed ahead on the right: THE WORLD'S LARGEST CARVED MUSHROOM TURN RIGHT ---> And they did, the turnoff taking them onto a poorly-asphalted road, which wound its way through the trees. After several minutes, another sign: THREE MILES TO THE WORLD'S LARGEST CARVED MUSHROOM And only a minute later: YOU ARE NOW ON BILLY BOB'S PROPERTY They exchanged glances, and kept driving on, curious at this point. Five minutes later: YOU HAVE GONE ONE MILE The road had become dirt by now, and continued to wind through the trees. Though some roads could have been ominous or claustrophobic at this point, this road was plenty wide and this forest was neither dense nor dark; birds and squirrels were scampering through the branches. The signs continued, letting them know when they had one more mile to go, then half a mile, then they came to a clearing. Parking spaces were set up and marked by poles set in the ground, not unlike a drive-in. They were the only ones there. They got out of their car and looked around for a moment, before a short, fat man in bibbed overalls and no shirt popped out from behind a nearby bush. "Hey! I'm Billy Bob! You here to see the carvin'?" "Sure!" the man replied, and they followed Billy Bob into the woods nearby. A crowded path led them through thickets and clusters of trees, up to an area decorated with Christmas lights draped around the trees. There, in the middle, was a twelve-foot tall wooden carving, coming up from the ground, no doubt carved painstakingly from a giant tree. A twelve-foot tall wooden carving of a giant penis. They stared in shock for a long moment, then looked at Billy Bob, who was smiling. After a pause, he cheerfully said, "It's a pecker!" Another pause. "I figured I couldn't very well put 'World's Largest Carved Pecker' on the interstate! So I said 'Mushroom'! Took me forever... look at them veins on the side!" His face beamed with pride. The couple turned and began walking back down the path as casually but as quickly as they could. They heard a yell, and turned to see Billy Bob back on the path, a machete in his hand. "Where are you going? Ain'tcha gonna stay for dinner? The wife's makin' kielbasa!" They quickened their pace. Billy Bob followed, casually, "You wanna model for me? I need a new model! I'll pay ya! I'll pay ya money!" As they got into their car and started the engine, Billy Bob emerged from the woods. The last thing they heard as they drove away was, "Wait! You wanna see the world's largest testicle? It's over here!" ________ The World's Largest Carved Mushroom Off US-219 South, West Virginia Somewhat-Weak (3 Forces) Tether to Kobal ________ Yes, Billy Bob carved it, with no demonic influence (or observation) whatsoever. He put up the signs. And he got his first visitor, a few days later - a family on vacation. Mom, Dad, Junior and Sis all made the trek to Billy Bob's place, lured by the sign. When they walked up to the copse of trees and beheld the World's Largest Carved Penis for the first time, the potential Tether to Kobal was formed, and their vacation was ruined. Kobal noticed the wild tether swirling around his Principality, and investigated personally. He was the third visitor Billy Bob had, and perhaps the only one who appreciated the handiwork as much as Billy Bob did. After politely asking Andrealphus if he wanted the tether (the Djinn messenger was sent back to Kobal minus several forces), Kobal claimed it, and appointed Herzathel, one of his Shedim, as Seneschal. Billy Bob was somewhat off his rocker before this whole incident. Now, with a Shedite hanging around, he's become downright crazy. Herzathel alternates between possessing Billy Bob, his wife Emma, and Billy Bob's "sculptures" (as Demon of the World's Biggest Carved Mushroom, Herzathel can possess any of Billy Bob's Carvings; it can't do anything in them, but it is completely undetectable while so hidden). This "attraction" sees very little business, and the tether sees even less, but it is one of many that Kobal may have a very interesting use for... some day. - -- Rev.

(slight spoilers) The scene... A hulking large bloke is changing a tyre on a stationwagon whilst a drooling idiot with a shotgun watches. Nearby, a baby faced androgyne, also with a shotgun, stands in the middle of the road looking up at the sky. An ambulance roars up the road. As it passes the stationwagon, a shotgun blast rings out, aimed at the man changing the tyre. The ambulance then drives straight towards the androgyne and hits her. The ambulance loses control, rolling a few times and then skidding along the road on its side, finally stopping some way past the stationwagon. A few seconds pass, and a cat jumps out of the ambulance and runs away. Only in In Nomine. I must say, it's a bit odd GMing demons.

But we should find out if the cause was his Cherubic nature, or more based on his service to the Sword. Obviously, we need a survey. Do Cherubim have a sense of humor? Do Servitors of the Sword? How do their senses of humor (if any) compare to others of their Choir in service to other Words, or other Choirs in service to the same Word?

Cherubim *do* have a sense of humor, but they miss a lot of teasing. Just like sarcasm tends to be lost on Seraphim, Cherubim don't like teasing. Ofanim don't care much for riddles. Elohim get confused by slapstick. Don't even think about telling a Malakite a dirty joke. And Kyrios usually misunderstand ethnic humor.

Note the wording: "Laurence's Vassals can remain serious...". Being a Vassal of the Sword doesn't turn you into an Elohite. It just makes it so you can remain serious when you want to be serious. It raises an interesting question, though - can a Vassal of the Sword who's /not/ being serious (say, a Mercurian who's having a good laugh with his drinking buddies) suddenly /turn/ serious at the drop of a hat with this Distinction? It does say "remain serious"; does the Vassal need to be serious in the first place for this to work? - -a curious EDG ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 Aug 1999 22:11:22 -0400 From: "Kelly W.
