Fed Meet and Greet with Tempestt

April 11, 1999

tanned and wearing only loose jeans Tempestt has just arrived.

"TADA!!!!", shouts Tempestt.

Tempestt smiles, "Hi all"

Tempestt smiles, "okie, what you want of me?"

Chiefsgirl says, "Just sit tight, Temp"

Adora has bought you a glass of wine!

Tempestt sips the wine and leans back

Adora winks and says, "Etherian wine is very fine wine. Likely one of the best wines in dataspace."

Adora smiles, "But, I got something stronger. A drink of one of my POs..."

Adora has bought you a Cats Cradle, and Death!

Tempestt Drinks and gulps

Tempestt feels great

Adora winks and says, "Ask Cat. It's the most potent liquir there is in Fed. Few survive drinking it."

Chiefsgirl stands up and clears her throat

"Thank you all for coming to tonight's Meet & Greet", says Chiefsgirl.

Chiefsgirl says, "My scheduled guest was Mctyler, Duke of Ballybran"

Chiefsgirl says, "But I think he no longer plays"

Chiefsgirl says, "So Tempestt has graciously agreed to fill in"

Chiefsgirl smiles at her sweetheart

Tempestt bows

Chiefsgirl smiles, "Temp will tell us a bit about himself and you feel free to ask questions as we move along"

Chiefsgirl sits back on her barstool and applauds

Tempestt asks, "hmmm, where to start?"

"How about the beginning, Temp", says Chiefsgirl.

"lol. heheh", says Tempestt.

Chiefsgirl says, "Tell us how you found this universe and how long you've been around"

"And all that good stuff", says Chiefsgirl.

"I started Fed before Aol went unlimited", says Tempestt.

"about 3 or 4 months before that", says Tempestt.

Tempestt says, "I was Geohy with the planet Aisa in the Duchy of Necis"

"And what happened to Geohy?", asks Chiefsgirl.

"lol, Geohy DDed twice", says Tempestt.

"How?", asks Chiefsgirl.

"In fighting events", says Tempestt.

Tempestt says, "I started Temp at the same time and was a totally different person"

Tempestt says, "Let me tell the story"

Chiefsgirl settles back to listen

Tempestt says, "I was happy in Necis as Geohy.. but needed to "expand" myself"

Chiefsgirl hopes Geohy was wearing loose clothing for that

Tempestt laughs

Tempestt says, "I made Temp as an alt for fun"

Chiefsgirl nods

Tempestt says, "as it turned out I was a Baron as temp when Geo DDed"

Chiefsgirl asks, "And what made you decide not to bring Geohy back a 3rd time?"

"I was tired of Geo and made Zeus", says Tempestt.

Chiefsgirl says, "You said Temp was a baron"

Chiefsgirl checks out the Squire sitting before her

Chiefsgirl asks, "What happened?"

"Yes, I dded him too", says Tempestt.

Chiefsgirl asks, "More fighting?"

"I have this perchance of not looking", smiles Tempestt.

Chiefsgirl has made it her mission to keep reminding Temp to check his insurance

Chiefsgirl asks, "Are you insured now?"

Tempestt smiles, "lol, yes I am"

Tempestt says, "okie... let me get back"

Chiefsgirl gets quiet

"I was Geohy in Necis and Temp in Angora... and all hell broke lose", says Tempestt.

Chiefsgirl thinks we're getting to the good part now

Chiefsgirl passes around chips and dip

"I was expelled from Necis because Ranagar and Chikeb had a hard time accepting a friend of mine as economic advisor", says Tempestt.

Adora giggles.

Tempestt says, "I had it out with EOD and his little siblings"

"They voted to kick me out", says Tempestt.

"lol, I cared not", says Tempestt.

"At the same time I was Temp", says Tempestt.

Tempestt says, "I was in Angora at the start"

"Then all hell broke loose again", says Tempestt.

Chiefsgirl thinks Temp gets himself in the middle of all sorts of trouble

"I'm sorry but I have opinions", says Tempestt.

"and Dukes/Duchesses don't like it", says Tempestt.

Chiefsgirl thinks Temp's opinions are cute

"I was expelled from there", says Tempestt.

Tempestt says, "lol"

"now.. I still had Geohy... but as a GH", says Tempestt.

"so... Zeus was created", says Tempestt.

Tempestt says, "I was devestated when Temp DDed"

Chiefsgirl remembers

Tempestt says, "It was my main Char and still is"

"but Zeus seems to be taking over", says Tempestt.

"lol", says Tempestt.

Chiefsgirl asks, "I know you were planning to be a duke. Are you still?"

Tempestt says, "I've tried and tried to be Temp but Zeus is always on my mind"

Chiefsgirl thinks that's because you think of yourself as a god

"I'M a God now.. I don't need to be Duke", says Tempestt.

"I have alts as all do", says Tempestt.

Chiefsgirl wonders what Temp is talking about

"So, you're not planning on being a duke?", asks Chiefsgirl.

"My life in Fed is always as Temp or Zeus... it has been me ... my soul as it were", says Tempestt.

Chiefsgirl nods

Tempestt says, "no, I'll not be a Duke"

Chiefsgirl remembers all the time spent on the puzzle

Tempestt says, "I like being in Private"

Chiefsgirl asks, "What do you like about it?"

Tempestt says, "now.. let's get on to the other expells"

Adora asks, "Other expells?"

"oh yes, I have a big mouth", smiles Tempestt.

Chiefsgirl looks closely at Temp's mouth

"when Fed went to PTP Bou was iffy.. I was in Mash at the time", says Tempestt.

Singapore grins, and hands CG a tape measure

Chiefsgirl thanks Sing and prepares to measure next time Temp opens his mouth

"I logged on one day and found Mash closed", says Tempestt.

Tempestt says, "lol"

Chiefsgirl measures and scribbles down numbers on a cocktail napkin

Tempestt says, "anyway"

Chiefsgirl will measure the rest of us later for comparison

Chiefsgirl puts the tape measure away for now before she gets into trouble with Tempestt

Tempestt says, "all I need is another inch for an even foot"

"oh my", says Chiefsgirl.

Chiefsgirl makes note of that

Adora lol

Singapore grins "That's what they all say."

Tempestt smiles, "mouth that is"

Tempestt says, "right"

"Fott in the mouth.", says Adora with a wink.

"Foot even.", says Adora with a wink.

"ok, Temp... so you found Mash closed", says Chiefsgirl.

"okie", says Tempestt.

Chiefsgirl tries to get the saga back on track

"I saw Bou on Aol.. and ripped in to him... I told him to keep it open or give it to someone who will", says Tempestt.

Tempestt says, "oops"

Chiefsgirl is sure that went over well

"Expelled", says Tempestt.

"lol", says Tempestt.

Chiefsgirl asks, "Any questions for Temp so far?"

Chiefsgirl looks around the room

Tempestt smiles, "I can answer all you needs"

Adora smiles...thinking...

Singapore shakes his head, scribbling notes....

"What did you do when you were kicked out of Mash, Temp?", asks Chiefsgirl.

"remember... I've played long...", says Tempestt.

Chiefsgirl nods

"When was Fed at its best?", asks Singapore.

"oooo...good question, Sing", says Chiefsgirl.

"Excellent ques. So much has happened.", smiles Adora.

Tempestt says, "at that time CG I was Baron... sent to SOL and was happy waiting for the Duke Puzz"

Tempestt says, "then I DDed"

Chiefsgirl nods

"took me two dat to get to PO", says Tempestt.

"days that is", says Tempestt.

Chiefsgirl wonders if Temp missed Sing's question

Singapore says, "<-----was one of the free-play AOL newbies, so has no perspective."

"When was fed at it's best, Temp?", asks Chiefsgirl.

Chiefsgirl nods with Sing

"didn't.. am tinking", says Tempestt.

Chiefsgirl says, "oh"

Chiefsgirl waits patiently

Singapore says, "Don't forget to put the lid back down. :::shudders, remembering:::"

Chiefsgirl covers a giggle with her hand

Singapore asks, "Oops, did I say that out loud?"

Singapore looks mortified....

"I loved it when it was before AOL went to unlimited.. it was a family then", says Tempestt.

Tempestt says, "I grew up in Fed there"

Singapore nods "Unlimited did seem kind of chaotic."

Tempestt says, "found friends and enemies"

Tempestt says, "got that right Sing"

Chiefsgirl asks, "What do you think of things now, Temp?"

"hmmmm", says Tempestt.

"Fed is tearing my friends away", says Tempestt.

"What do you mean, Temp?", asks Chiefsgirl.

"All my old friends are gone or just keep the planet open", says Tempestt.

Singapore sobers instantly, and nods in agreement with Temp.

Chiefsgirl nods and sighs

Adora knows how it is...

Tempestt says, "I think a "core" of fedders are here.. but I miss what was once"

"I agree Temp", says Chiefsgirl.

"you need clothes Temp", smiles Jeblt.

"It will never be as it was... but the friends I made will always be", says Tempestt.

Chiefsgirl hands Temp a safety pin for the back of his gown

"You kill me too much Jeb", smiles Tempestt.

"well, you know I fight", says Tempestt.

"I fight to be here", says Tempestt.

Chiefsgirl asks, "Oh yea, Temp?"

Tempestt says, "it is what I do"

Tempestt says, "to be honest... I've made all that can be made in Fed"

Chiefsgirl asks, "So what is your purpose now for being here, Temp?"

Chiefsgirl asks, "What keeps you around?"

Tempestt says, "I stay for my friends"

"yeah yeah.. look at me", smiles Tempestt.

"Any questions for Tempestt?", asks Chiefsgirl.

"anyway.. I stay because I have friends", says Tempestt.

Jeblt asks, "Yes who is his tailor?"

Chiefsgirl asks, "Would you like to say some final words, Temp?"

Tempestt says, "All in all.. being tossed and rolled from Duchy to Duchy.. I still have a heart for the friends I've made and the friends that will come frome this game. When it comes down to it we all here for one reason... and we know what that is"

Chiefsgirl thinks he goes to Hospitalgowns-R-Us

"What reason is that Temp?", asks Chiefsgirl.

Tempestt says, "For the acceptance of our souls.. for the acceptance of out thoughts... for the acceptance of us"

Chiefsgirl applauds for Tempestt

"Thank you very much for filling in at the last minute Temp", says Chiefsgirl.

"next week my guest will be Good, Duke of Goodyear", says Chiefsgirl.

Cgee packs up the video equipment and heads back to Bohemian
