Er, okay.... SLEEPING BEAUTY Once Upon A Time there was a beautiful princess who slept a long and deep sleep, surrounded by riches and objets d'art and all manner of finery. In her sleep, she drifted farther and farther from her home, and as the centuries passed, all her finery crumbled around her; but she did not care or even know, because she slept the long sleep, and that was the way of it. In time the beautiful princess was awakened to find herself within a strange castle of curious design, but she had never known fear, nor expected she should need to; and so she arrayed herself in a fine new body and her favourite ring of power, and went to seek her fortune in this new place. And while she discovered that it was indeed a very fine castle, she was ultimately saddened to find that it was very far from home. Her new world was not without amenities, however; she was delighted to discover that she had been supplied (as all beautiful princesses ought) with a Knight, a Minstrel, and a Fool. The Knight was young, strong, and virtuous, if a bit tedious; the Minstrel was conversant not only with the requisite songs, but with all the rages and sulks that the finest minstrels are prone to; and perhaps best of all, the nimble-minded Fool was a near plague of antic buffoonery, full of tricks and stories, and eager to please. And so she was quite satisfied with the castle and its retainers, but homesick for the land in which she had first begun to dream. Even in her exile, however, the princess was not without resources; she knew a spell of travelling, and she resolved to return to her homeland, taking the castle and retainers with her. As she stood in the Great Hall preparing to cast the spell, a silence fell over the room and a finger of ice caressed her heart. Turning to follow the fearful gazes of the retainers, she became aware for the first time of a darkly handsome prince, with eyes of endless void and teeth like polished marble headstones. "I am Death," he said, in a voice like the opening of a lover's burial casket, "and this is my castle." "You lie," she said, "for I know you. You are Avon, and my love," for he had filled her dreams during the long sleep. "You know nothing," he said hollowly. She stretched her arms out to him. "Kiss me, then, and see." So he took her in his arms, and the taste of his lips was the sweetest of poisons, and their effect was as the waters of Lethe, and she forgot herself. And he plucked the ring of power from her finger, and held it up before her eyes, and said with infinite sadness, "Let that be a lesson to you. Never fall in love with Death." And the princess looked once more into the void of his eyes, and fell asleep again, this time forever. The End Epilogue "Fool," said Death, "why is it that they never learn, these princesses? Why do they think that love will protect them from my fatal grip?" "Because they are more fool than I," answered the Fool, "and if ever I trust you, why then, you may take me to the highest tower and throw me out the window." "I shall remember that," said Death. *** *** (Okay, I cheated, I took the easiest one; that just means the rest of you will easily do better. Might I suggest Hostage lends itself to Rapunzel?

Yes, I saw the Callys, and they're very pretty, but they're none of them in the style I was referring to (that sort of monochrome pastel look you did for a couple of pics). Come to think of it, I could probably knock up a few myself with some frame grabs and and a lot of fiddling in Paint Shop Pro. But it wouldn't be the same.

The museum is *fantastic*. It's full of dioramas of stuffed animals (an earlier Powell-Cotton was an enthusiastic big game hunter who later turned conservationist). The first gallery you walk into, you see a glass case in front of you, about 20 feet high, with whole *trees* in it. And the branches are dripping with monkeys. There's also a large collection of weapons (19th Century firearms, African and Asian hand weapons), ethnographic artefacts, local archaeology etc. Small is beautiful, well worth a visit.

Ah, I see. The ink-plus-carefully-applied-pencil-lead style. Applied with cotton buds. That style. I'll keep it in mind. > Come to think of it, I could probably knock up a few myself with some frame > grabs and and a lot of fiddling in Paint Shop Pro. But it wouldn't be the > same. No, it wouldn't be the same. I've had fun, though, taking a scanned illo and applying special effects to it. Done that a few times of late. I think my favourite is the Sapphire I did for Refractions #6. Or maybe the Sam Beckett for Refractions #3. Vortexes are so much easier to do with special effects....

Later, when he comes back with the *treasure* he says: "We could own our own planet" and later "We may never have this chance again" I'm not saying that he would have been too distressed if something happened to Jenna somewhere in the not-too-distant future but I doubt he would have done it himself. He wanted to be rid of Blake because he saw that Blake was a "crusader" but I agree that Avon and Jenna have more in common than they'd like to admit (This might explain why they never got along, maybe they saw in each other what they didn't like about themselves, in Jenna's case at least) and I don't think he bore her any particular malice. Besides it sounded like there was plenty to go around and I think Avon was almost more interested in the challenge of acquiring the wealth and the novelty of having it to hoard than in actually spending it.
