Tea's Time to Shine

Magicman: Updated! Has anyone called the medical team to deal with Joey?

Joey: (twitch, twitch)

Magicman: I guess not.

Smokegirl: He deserved it!

Mai: Wet t-shirts my ass!

Magicman: Oookay then. Take it out on each other girls, no violence in the writing box.

Pegasus: Let's get the action underway!

IIIIIII

The lights in the hall shone, the air conditioners continued to hum, and Zev continued to glare coldly at Mai.

'Mai has three scapegoats, one Unfriendly Amazon (2000/1000), one facedown card and four cards in her hand, while I have just one scapegoat' she thought. 'She must think she has an unbeatable advantage. That will make her eager to attack. I have to keep my scapegoat alive then if I want to hit her as hard as I'd like.' A smile spread across Zev's face. Mai was watching her cockily; those pretty violet eyes of hers alight with self-righteous anger. She had no idea what was coming.

"I draw." Zev drew and her grey eyes widened at the card. "Lucky!" she whispered. "I play Pot of Greed, and unless you've got something like Magic Jammer waiting I play it and draw another two cards."

Mai gestured as if to say 'get on with it.'

Zev smirked and drew her new cards. Once again her eyes widened and she grinned. "Double lucky! My deck likes me today! I summon out Chthonian Soldier (1200/1400) in attack mode!"

The small yet brutish warrior waved his sword threateningly at Mai, who scowled. The warrior was one of Zev's favourite monsters and it perfectly demonstrated her brutally aggressive attitude. Mai had seen her beat several people with a kamikaze attack, which was doubtlessly what her grey-haired nemesis had planned.

"Chthonian Soldier, attack Mai's Unfriendly Amazon!"

Mai rolled her eyes. Yep. Predictable. "I activate my Negate Attack Trap card!"

The Chthonian soldier jumped into the air and brought down its sword but a wall of swirling black energy sprung up and absorbed the attack. The soldier bounced back from Mai's monster with a scowl on its face and the energy disappeared, leaving the blonde with her lifepoints intact.

Mai smirked. "Nice try but you can't beat me that easily."

Zev smirked back. "I didn't think so. So I'll just have to play this card facedown. Then I think I'll just end my turn.

Mai's reaction was to change her smirk into an annoyed scowl.

"Do you take me for an idiot?" Mai snapped. For the first time in this duel she actually seemed angry. "I've seen you make this move a hundred times! You'll have to do a lot better than that if you want to beat me!"

"I was only testing you Mai-mai. I wanted to make sure you've still got it. I've got twice your lifepoints. You can't afford to take me lightly." Zev nodded her head slightly and crossed her arms. "I want you to fight back, after all. But enough talk. It's your move. Come and get me!"

Mai drew her card angrily. 'If this little bitch thinks I'm going to fall for this, she has another thing coming! Her facedown card is Attack Guidance Armour. She wants me to attack with something and then she'll redirect it, probably to her Chthonian Soldier. But if I can summon a monster with low enough attack points I can finish her in my next turn.' She quickly scanned her hand for options before making her move. I summon Amazoness Blowpiper (800/1500) in defence mode!"

The short amazon knelt next to her larger, brawnier cousin, with her blowpipe raised defensively. Then the Unfriendly Amazon turned and cut down one of Mai's two Scapegoats. "Then I'll sacrifice a Scapegoat to keep my Amazon on the field" the blonde clarified. Then she crossed her arms. "That's it for me."

"Yes it is" Zev agreed then drew a card. "I pass this turn. Your move again."

"Oh goody" Mai said sarcastically. "You know how much I love stalling. I sacrifice another Scapegoat and then I summon Amazoness Tiger! (1100/1500)!"

The tiger appeared, snarling viciously. Two chains sprouted from its collar and Mai's two Amazons caught the ends of them. With its mistresses on the field it grew even larger until it dwarfed Zev's Chthonian Soldier.

"I've almost missed that card" Zev said, eyeing the tiger almost fondly. When she waved the cat snarled at her. "Nasty temper though. Now its attack points are up to 1900 because you have two Amazons on the field, right?"

"Right. That's it exactly. Also my Amazoness Blowpiper's effect activates!"

The shorter amazon raised her blowpipe and fired a dart. It pierced Cthonian Soldier in the neck and he seemed to sag slightly.

"Each of my standby phases I get to weaken one of your monsters by 500 attack points for the turn." Mai grinned. "She's perfect for when I'm launching an attack."

"So are you going to attack?"

"Not yet." Mai smirked. "I know you, and I know what your facedown card is. My monsters have enough attack points to destroy your lousy soldier but they also have enough points to finish me off."

"Congratulations" Zev said sarcastically. "You've figured out my evil plan." She lifted her facedown card and flashed it mockingly at Mai. "It's an Attack Guidance Armour, just like you thought. Are you done yet?"

Mai considered. Attacking Zev right now wouldn't really do anything. "Alright" she nodded, "You can go."

"Good." Zev drew and grinned again. "I'm top decking like a pro today! I play Swords of Revealing Light!"

The row of glowing swords fell from the sky and separated the two teams of monsters. Zev grinned at the barrier and then gestured, as if to say 'Well go ahead then.'

Mai rolled her eyes. It was always theatrics with Zev. She drew. "Alright hun, I can play the waiting game too. First off I'll sacrifice my Unfriendly Amazon so I don't have to pay her cost anymore."

Mai's Amazon leapt off the field and her tiger shrank accordingly. The blonde nodded in satisfaction. "Then my Amazoness Blowpiper's effect activates. I choose your Chthonian Soldier to weaken." The dart struck, but Mai shrugged. "I can't attack, but the effect still activates. Then I'll switch my tiger into defence mode and play one card facedown. Back to you."

Zev drew, and from her expression she was getting ready for a long duel.

Or at least that was Tea's impression from up in the balcony.

The brunette frowned at Zev's last play. The last time she had watched Zev play Swords of Revealing Light it had been to show off against Yami. It hadn't served any real purpose then but now Zev was down massively on card advantage and needed to stall. She was seemingly helpless, forced back onto a defence. Tea couldn't help but smile at that. "It's nice to see the so called 'Dark Destroyer' get smashed up for once" she said to herself.

"I thought you'd like that."

Tea jumped in surprise, then turned and glared at Nesbitt again. Julia was eyeing her in that creepy, emotionless way she had. "Though you're going to be disappointed when this ends" she added.

Tea glared some more but the machine duellist turned back to observing the duel. After a moment, so did Tea. There was just no use is arguing with someone who was so totally convinced they were right.

Back on the field, the first turn of the Swords passed by without incident. They both drew and left things as they were. On Zev's next turn she made her move.

Zev's grey eyes lit up when she drew the exact magic card she wanted. "Perfect" she smirked then slapped it down face up. "I cast Augury of Blood and Bone."

The magic card revealed a stone bowl. It slowly spun and shook at random. Brief glimpses of the holograms inside it showed that it was indeed filled with blood and knucklebones. It had no immediate effect but its presence cast a shadow over the field. Mai didn't like the looks of it. "And what does your fancy soup bowl do?" she demanded.

"I'm glad you asked. As you can clearly see, you have more card advantage than I do. Every turn I can pay 200 lifepoints to draw an extra card." She shrugged then. "As you can imagine though, that can get expensive. So it's secondary effect is that I can sacrifice it at any time and pay 500 lifepoints to draw three cards. So then, let's get this show on the road!"

Zev let out a short bark of laughter and raised her arm. She pulled back her sleeve from her forearm and said, "I pay my lifepoints and sacrifice my magic card so I can draw three cards and replenish my hand!"

A holographic knife appeared next to her arm and with one quick motion slashed it open. Since it was only a hologram it didn't hurt but it still looked shockingly realistic. When the auguring bowl quivered and without further warning suddenly exploded, raining blood and bits of bone all over the spectators, there were more than a few shrieks of shock and disgust. Zev smirked, pleased that she'd made a scene and paid her lifepoints to draw her three cards.

Mai glared at her opponent. "You are just sick, you know that?"

"Hey. Card advantage is card advantage. Just because everyone else has a weak stomach is no reason why I shouldn't make a good play. Speaking of which, I'll switch that Scapegoat that I stole from you a while ago into attack mode."

The audience went from 'Gross!' to 'What!' in less than a second. The only three who didn't look surprised were Zev, who was grinning smugly, Mai, who scowled in recognition at the move, and Julia who simply smiled a little at being proven right once again.

Zev waited a moment, letting the suspense hang in the air, then made her next move. "I cast Creature Swap. And I think I'll let you have your Scapegoat back!"

Mai's purple eyes widened in sudden surprise. But she managed to recover herself quickly, though she scowled angrily. "Fine. Take my Amazoness Tiger."

"I'll do that. And then I'll take the win by attacking Scapegoat with Chthonian Soldier!" Zev pointed at the small, helpless little goat thing and screamed "Attack!"

The armoured soldier lifted his curved blade and leapt forward with a bloodthirsty yell. The Scapegoat bleated helplessly before it.

Then the soldier crashed into a wall of crystal. It faltered in its attacked, but gritted its teeth and swung its sword heavily. The blade connected, chopping the scapegoat in half. But Mai's lifepoints dropped only to 200, not to 0.

Mai let out the breath she'd been holding. "I activate my trap Mirror Wall! It cuts your monster's attack points in half, and as long as it stays on the field your monster's attack will stay cut in half!"

"Nice going Mai!"

The blonde looked up and saw Tea waving to her from the balcony. Smiling, she waved back. But a sarcastic snort from the other side of the arena drew her attention back. Mai grinned at her. "It's so nice to have friends, isn't it?"

"Please! Don't make me quote you again." Zev rolled her eyes. "Go on then. Take your turn. It's not going to help you out any. I've got you right where I want you. And my best cards are still in my deck, just waiting to be drawn."

"I'm shaking." Mai rolled her eyes. "I draw, and then summon Cyber Harpy (1800/1300) in attack mode. Then I lay one card facedown and end my turn." She raised one fine blonde eyebrow. "Only one turn left for your swords."

"I know. They've bought me the time I need though." Zev smiled, pleased with herself. "I play one monster facedown and then switch my Chthonian Soldier into defence mode. If you really think you can break through my defences, you're welcome to try, but it's not happening."

"I'll bet. I draw."

Mai drew and considered her hand. "Not much to work with here" she mused to herself. The contemplative tone in her voice couldn't mask a glint in her violet eyes, however, and Zev stiffened a little. "I hate to waste it on a single card but…oh, that's right. You have Attack Guidance Armour facedown! Well then, I play Harpy's Feather Duster!"

A great whirlwind, shot through with dust and feathers swept over Zev's field. She squinted into the angry weather patterns and grimaced. This was going to hurt…

The whirlwind struck with a bang and ripped to shreds Zev's facedown trap. All of a sudden, her two monsters were left defenceless. It was Mai's turn to smirk.

"Then I'll play Big Bang Shot on my harpy to make her 400 attack points stronger. And it also gives her the power to trample over your defence mode monster, and damage your lifepoints!"

Zev snarled. "Then come and get me!"

"I will! Cyber Harpy! Attack her Chthonian Soldier with Fairy Cannon Blast!"

The harpy screeched as it leapt up into the air, it swung the large cannon off her back into attack mode. The little fairies that fluttered about the weapon of mass destruction scattered in all directions as the cannon charged up its massive particle beam. When enough energy was gathered the harpy aimed its gun at Zev's Chthonian Soldier and opened fire with a bright orange beam. It sliced through the soldier's armour with ease and shredded the monster beneath.

Mai watched Zev's lifepoints drop to 300 with satisfaction, then ended her turn with some gloating. "Isn't it great how the tables can turn so easily? I can finish you on my next turn with my trampling Cyber Harpy and you can't kill her because my Mirror wall is a permanent trap."

"You could have finished me this turn!" Zev drew a card and gave it a quick once over. "But you attacked the wrong monster. Let me show you my facedown card."

Zev flipped her facedown monster up. It turned out to be a small, silvery ball with an opening covered by blue glass. The opening uncovered and began to draw air into itself.

The suction quickly increased in strength and soon no creature could resist it. Mai's Cyber Harpy was pulled in screeching with indignation, and her amazon followed it. The tiger growled once and tugged back defiantly but was quickly caught in the grasp of the wind. When all the creatures were locked inside the small metal sphere it resealed the opening and exploding, sending shards of metal across the arena.

Mai scowled, annoyed at her mistake. "A Cyber Jar (900/900)."

"Yep. You missed me!" Zev thumbed her nose mockingly at Mai and drew her five cards from Cyber Jar's effect.

The blonde smiled patronisingly. "There's always next turn." She drew her cards and the smile turned into a grin at the Mystical Space Typhoon and the collection of monsters that grinned up at her. "My mistake. You are going down next turn, and nothing you do can change that! Since your Cyber Jar lets me summon monsters I just drew to the field, I'm going to summon two Harpy Ladies (1300/1400) in defence mode and another Cyber Harpy (1800/1300 in attack mode!"

Zev sighed at the appearance of the three shrieking bird women. "Why do they always come to me to die?" she asked rhetorically. "In that case I'll summon two Archfiend Soldiers (1900/1500), one Newdowria (1200/800), one Hell-bent Fanatic (1000/1600) and one Whiptail Crow (1650/1600) all in attack mode! My fiends outnumber your little birdies five to three!"

"It's not how many you have but how good they are. And what you do to protect them."

"And to protect my monsters from your two traps I activate my Hell-bent Fanatic's special power!"

Hell-bent Fanatic, a small humanoid fiend with mottled grey skin dressed only in a ragged and battered suit of platemail. Strapped to his body were kegs of dynamite that suddenly lit up. The flames quickly ate up the short fuses and the fiend let out a howl and rushed forward, its clawed feet pounding on the holographic floor. Mai's harpy flock scattered as the fiend ran past them. When it reached the magic/trap zone it stopped still and held its position for two seconds. Then it exploded in a blaze of glory.

Zev cackled a bit as smoke wreathed around her. "Hell-bent Fanatic is just that; a fanatic. He feels no fear, and he doesn't care about dying. I can use his ability to return two magic or trap cards to your hand, just by sacrificing him. He'd want his death to make a difference, so I think he'll be happy that he won me the game."

"You wish!"

A deafening roar shook the room. Girls jerked in surprise and Pegasus applauded from his seat as a huge red dragon poked its head through the smoke. It towered over the fiends below, glaring with hatred as smoke puffed from its nostrils. Mai's three harpies soared behind it, holding onto three chains attached to its neck. The chains seemed to make the dragon bolder and it lowered its head down to glare directly into Zev's Archfiend Soldier's face.

"When you sacrifice Hell-bent Fanatic, I play my trap Harpy's Call! When I have two or more harpies on the field I can special summon Harpy's Pet Dragon (2000/2500) from my hand or deck, and that dragon becomes the sole target of any attack you can make. And for every harpy on the field my dragon gets another 300 attack points, boosting its strength up to 2900 points." Mai glanced appreciatively at her huge monster before turning back to Zev sombrely. "It's much bigger than any monster in your deck."

Zev said nothing. She just glared at the dragon with an intense loathing. "If you can't beat me this turn then I win" Mai continued, sounding almost sad. "I've got a Stop Defence and a Mystical Space Typhoon in my hand and you're almost out of lifepoints." She flipped around her cards and showed them to Zev. "Unless you can overpower my supercharged dragon then he'll run you over like a turtle on the highway."

"Not this time Mai. Not ever again." Zev's grey eyes coldly glared at her opponent. "It's time that you started living in my shadow for a change. It's the least I can do for you. And your dragon can't save you now. I've got the king of fiends on my side. I summon Dark Ruler Ha Des (2450/1600)!"

A dark portal opened up onto the field, coloured a light-drinking black. Two dark red eyes peered out at the world beyond with an appraising look. Then a large form stepped from the darkness and out into the world beyond. The bejewelled headdress, the elegant robes, the haughty expression and the clawed hands poking out from the sleeves, its entire appearance spoke cruelty and malice. Ha Des eyed the dragon on the other side of the field disdainfully then stepped forward to oppose it. The lesser fiends about him made way for their lord and master, and Zev watched him with pride.

"He's incredible, isn't he?" she crooned. "He is the greatest of fiends and the champion of darkness. He's practically a god!"

"But he's still weaker than my Harpy's Pet Dragon."

"That's just because he's not in his kingdom. Yet." Zev smirked and played her final card. "I play the field card Fiend's Citadel!"

A stony rumble echoed through the room. Rising up from the holographic floor came a large stone building, set into the side of a mountain. The windows were narrow and dark, with no lights shining through. Gargoyles perched ominously on the battlements and a single tower rose up into the air. At the top, a black crystal was perched, and it shone a dark light over the entire field. The field darkened greatly. Players and spectators alike had to squint to see what was going on.

Tea blinked, trying to see. "What is she doing?" she asked herself.

"Crawford played her trump card." Tea jerked in surprise once again, then turned to glare at the imperturbable Julia. "Mai is finished."

"Why? What does that card do?"

Julia raised an eyebrow at Tea. "Why should I tell you? You'll be facing it next. Besides, you'll see some of its powers now."

Tea growled in annoyance and turned back to the game.

Mai squinted at Zev. "What did you just do?"

"I brought out Ha Des' home fortress. In here he's all powerful!" Zev laughed shortly before deigning to explain. "First of all, the dark magic of Ha Des' power crystal increases the power of all fiends on the field by 300 points!"

The fiends on Zev's field suddenly began to hiss and snarl and make hideous noises in general. Ha Des (2750/1600) merely smiled a cold smile and chuckled as an aura of dark energy wreathed him and his minions.

Mai's eyes narrowed. "What else does it do?"

"Oh, so many things! You'd be surprised what Ha Des' magic can do! But the effect that I'm going to use will finish you before you can see them." Zev grinned and slashed a finger across her throat. "And now I activate the power of Fiend's Citadel by sacrificing all my monsters except for Ha Des!"

"What!"

All of Zev's lesser fiends approached Ha Des and went down on their knees before him. The fiend king stretched out his hands and chanted a dark, eerie spell. As the arcane words floated from his mouth a grey mist was conjured from his hands. The mist came into contact with Whiptail Crow, causing the creature to shiver and shake. This happened with Zev's Newdoria and her two Archfiend Soldiers too. The mist suddenly recoiled back into Ha Des' open palms, and the other four fiends toppled over dead. The great fiend leader threw his head back and gasped loudly, as though being shot through with some massive bolt of power.

Ever the showman, Zev waited exactly 3 seconds after the mist disappeared before making her declaration. "You want to know what just happened? Ha Des just absorbed the souls and strength of all of his loyal servants, and increased his own strength by all of their attack points combined! Do the math, he has enough power to destroy you fifty times over!"

Gasps sounded all over the arena. But Mai just watched the vastly superior monster fix a murderous, red eyed gaze on her. She sighed. "Fine. You've got me. Just get it over with."

Zev's victorious smirk was replaced with a hate-filled glare. "Is that really all you can say?"

"And what do you want me to say? Sorry? Would that really change things? Neither of us are the same person anymore." Mai shook her head. "If beating me this way makes you feel any better then go ahead and do it."

"Trust me. It will." The smirk returned. "Lose now, with the whole world watching! Ha Des (10400/1600), attack her with Dark Soul Combination attack!"

Ha Des snarled at Mai and jumped back several feet. He raised his hands above his head, and a ball of ice-blue light formed above his palms. The ball of energy quickly grew in size, and a high pitched humming soon filled the massive room. The energy ball kept growing and growing, until its size was massive. Ha Des was clearly having trouble holding it in place. His breaths came in grunts and it was clear to all that beheld him that his great strength was about to give out, but still he held the energy ball. Then, when the humming sound had reached a fever pitch and the energy ball was trembling, Ha Des let loose a howl and hurled all the power he possessed at Mai's dragon.

The dragon managed one curtailed scream before being consumed in the massive explosion. The room itself shook, and Mai was thrown backward with a scream. She fell from the booth and landed hard on the floor behind her. Stunned, she tried to get up but winced in pain. She'd landed on her ankle hard, and it wouldn't support any weight. She could barely lift her back up on her arms while Zev looked on in triumph.

Croquet coughed quietly and raised a hand. "The winner of this round is Miss Zev Crawford.

Julia glanced over at Tea. "I told you so" she said before turning and walking away.

IIIIIII

"So, are you feeling alright?"

Mai glanced down at her foot. Pegasus' resident medic had bound the ankle up tightly with ice to control the swelling. Luckily it was nothing worse than a sprain. "It'll be alright" Mai said. "I've had worse."

The two were hanging out in the big hallway that connected the duelling arena with the guest rooms. Most of the girls were spending their lunch break in the dining room, but the two friends had stopped by only to grab a couple of drinks. The dining room was too crowded, anyway. Pegasus was graciously allowing the defeated finalists to stay on and watch the rest of the tournament.

Tea sipped her orange crush pop before continuing their talk. "So, how do my chances look next round?"

Mai smiled. "What? No sappy talk about how bad it was that I lost?"

"It's only a game."

"Yeah, you're right. Well, I checked the duel listings for the semi-finals. The first match is between you and Zev."

Tea smirked. "Good. I've been wanting a shot at her."

"Watch yourself" Mai warned. "You know she's good."

"Well, if I've learned anything about myself this tournament it's that I'm a pretty good duellist myself." Tea took another sip of her pop before continuing. "I'm not going to back down now."

Mai smiled. "I wouldn't want you to." She reached down and rubbed her sore ankle a little. It still hurt, but she'd get over it.

Tea watched her friend for a moment. "She really took that duel personally, huh?"

Mai winced. "I gave her a pretty good reason to." Tea waited, and Mai kept talking. "I knew her before I ever met you and Joey and the rest. We were…pretty close friends." She winced again, as though the memory hurt.

Before she could continue though, a ringing came from her purse. Frowning slightly, Mai opened it up, took out her cell phone and answered it. "Hello? …Oh, hi Eddy. What's up? …What! You're kidding! …They can't do that! …I've been on the list for months! They can't just pull me off! …What! God!" Mai snapped her phone shut angrily and shoved it hard back into her purse.

"Bad news I take it?"

Mai and Tea turned at the sudden voice. Zev was standing about twenty feet away, sipping at a root beer and smiling pleasantly. Mai glared daggers at her.

"You vindictive little bitch!"

"Flattery won't get you anywhere."

Mai growled and stormed past her, back into the dining room. Zev sighed. "Ah well. I was hoping for a longer time to gloat. Easy come, easy go I guess."

Tea scowled, and without thinking she threw her half full can of orange pop at Zev. It bounced off of her shoulder, drenching the front of her shirt and drawing out a shout of surprise. "What the hell is your problem!" Tea yelled.

"My problem! I'm not the one throwing things!"

"No, you're the one who seems to love making my friends miserable! What did you do now?"

"Nothing!" Zev grinned and stretched idly. "But I bet that call was from her agent. One of her invitations to a tournament must have been cancelled. Mai loves duelling, money, and spending it, so she has to be the best. Losing on live TV like that hurt her reputation pretty badly, so tournaments that signed her on to attract participants will start dumping her. She'll have to work pretty damn hard if she wants to keep the cash flowing. I'd like to see her keep up the material girl act now!"

"So you want to see her ruined! Is that it! Jeez!"

Zev sighed the sigh of one who is wrongfully mistreated. "Look Tea, my grudge with Mai is personal. It has nothing to do with you. Just keep out of it."

Tea shook her head. "Mai is my friend. I don't know if friendship means anything to you but I care about my friends. I'm there for them when they need me, and I support them when they're down. Having a friend is having someone you want to protect. Your problem is that you're such a bitch that you won't let anyone be your friend! Maybe you should. You'd understand how I feel and you might just like it."

Zev looked decidedly unimpressed. "And what makes you think I haven't got any friends? I do, and I'm still a bitch. Not everyone is a good little girl like you. Some of us have been through rough times. Akumu was right. You've never been betrayed by someone close to you like some of us have." She smiled ironically. "That's all it takes, you know. One bad moment can change a person forever."

A sudden thought occurred to Tea. "So Mai was part of your bad moment?" she asked cautiously.

The look on Zev's face suddenly twitched. Her fist closed over her root beer can. Her grey eyes seethed hatefully as she gritted her teeth hard. But there was that look in her eyes, that Tea had seen back when Zev defeated Yami. That sad look convinced Tea that she was right. "Do you really want to know?" Zev finally asked, "Or are you just being morbid?"

Tea shook her head. "I'm being serious" she answered, stamping down on her great personal dislike for Zev. "Mai is my friend. If she's being punished for something then I want to know what."

The grey haired girl eyed Tea intensely for a long moment. "Then I hope you like stupidly clichéd sad stories" she said at last. "This is one of them."

IIIIIII

Magicman: And done. I'm not sure how well the beginning was, but I'm pretty comfortable with the end.

Tea: So you're finally going to tell the story?

Magicman: Yep.

Tea: Finally!

Pegasus: I concur. This hold up is getting annoying.

Magicman: Well, you'll still have to wait a while, whilst I type it up. Until then, enjoy life and have fun.
