INTEGRATION

It was that time again. The stools were set and the goodies were distributed and the lights were lowered. Every one had been notified but Norgal new that a few would not show and even more he was afraid that one would show. The last time a SNARK showed everyone fled – cleaned the room out in seconds and left him with no one to counsel. His tail twitched and his claws bit into the arm of the chair. Oh well, being born a Cat and having the responsibility to rule, although a heavy burden, was his legacy. He sighed and reached for the best pin in existence.

“High ya, old buddy!” The sound came from the entrance and in strode that pesky little creature that made Norgal’s life a living cage. “….where is every buddy? No one here yet? Late again, huh. Hey that cheese looks good!” and Visy ran toward the table.

Norgal let out a hiss and slammed his claws in his desk stopping Visy dead still. “Touch that and you well be tailless, you little despot.”

Visy stood for a moment and then let out a giggle that shook the room, “hang on big fella, I was only lookin. Smells a little too fresh anyway…..”

At that moment the ground began to shake and in strode the biggest, fastest and nastiest fellow in the whole world or so Visy thought. Not even the SNARK was as scary as this. Visy hid behind a table.

Caush lumbered to a well supplied table, covered with a number of root products and fresh meat, and grabbed a wild onion. Munching loudly, he grumbled “Tandy’s not coming. She’s afraid of that old SNARK. Don’t understand those lady folk” he reached up and rubbed his face and the scar made by the SNARK, “Us Marmot’s aren’t afraid of anything, she must be under the weather.” He picked up a leg of something and began to chew.

There was silence for a few moments and the only sound was the table shaking over Yisy.

Old Carl walked in with Miriam (Mira) Idelbaum setting comfortably on this head. He fell and sat on the ground and Mira jumped off onto a table. “Lets get started. My little ones need some lunch so I ain’t got all day. Oh, and Flit ain’t coming…. Said to go on without him. He’s looking for more and/or better sources. Be back later. So lets go!!!!” her bow shook as she pounded the table.

Norgal sighed, which he did a lot, and began.
