Olive comes walking up, eating a lollipop.  Rafe says, “Did you get that where Elmer was?”  She shakes her head.  “No  From over there,... They taste great.  Chocolate over some kind of canned meat.”

Sylex laughs...  "Oh .ohh.... You can blame this one on Elmer, Rafe.”

He looks to her, “ok, Why?”

Bently says, “Those are Gasdik Pops.”  Olive nods, “That's what the sign said.  In Thari no less.  ah... what are they.  I've had like three.”

Bently shakes his head back and forth, smiling with a touch of amusement... ”Ok... Here is how it goes.  The solar system Gasdik is in has hundreds of worlds.  Big ones.  Its sort of a focal point for things from shadow to land.  An improbably universe but an ancient wisher looked for the place long before the '''''Breaking of the Dufirosm''''' and the '''''Tosian Accords''''' that let Nur al-din bring our kind here.   There were already a Dufiro presence.  Its one of the reasons the '''''Dufiereant''''' picked this nook of shadow.  Not close enough to be under Chaos' Sway, far from Azcala, far from Cynasure.  Perfect.  “

Sylex says, “You digress,”

He nods, “Eat your cherries.”  He continues.  “What is unique about this solar system is that things that are disintegrated, dematerialized, and a bunch of other things, the remains come there.  Dufiro mine those worlds for treasures.  Now the Gasdik cluster... They are connected to spells and powers like ''Clean Sweep” , “Purify Body”,” Purge”, and a thousand other ways to describe abilities to eliminate bodily refuse without urination or defecation. Handy spells to be sure.  Clean spells for clothing and stuff goes to a different system.”

Rafe pales slightly, looking at the pop in Olive's hand and the three on the table in front of her... then he sort of grins. "So that's where it all goes... I always wondered." He says mostly to himself.

Bently says, “Now one of the world in the Gasdik Cluster gets defecation.  Another, a watery world get urination and, well, Vomit, as well as blood and semen.    One of the worlds, and here we come to the pops there, get undigested food.  Digestive fluids go to a different place but undigested food lands on the biggest flat slab of a planet you ever want to see.  Its like a third of the planet was chipped away by a jeweler and what was left was a flat sheet of marble.  There, Earth Elementals, spasa, Avasa, and some Masoja, plus numerous other races, gather all this stuff up.  They push it through a series of milling spells and they produce tubes, 4 sided tubes, of a mixed type of canned product.  Like Canned Potted meats.  Spam, and such, with a vegetable/meat taste. “

Rafe looks a bit queasy. "

Bently insists on continuing.  “This stuff is fed to live stock mostly but its also sold for dufiro consumption.    Its not uncommon to find in dufiro homes.  I admit I have a taste for it.  Sliced thin and fried.  What you fry it in, oil wise, takes over the taste.  Slice of Gasdik, Onion, bell peppers, candied jalepanos, crack a couple eggs in it, roll it up in a burrito wrap.  Quite nice.. and... to be honest,  I've served it to you all on occasion.  Chunked gasdik, Choriso, onions, jalapenos, rice, a lot of cheese.  Wrap in in a huge wrap.  No one complained....”

Rafe stands, “And the candy?”

He nods, “A centimeter cube, battered and fried, dipped in mostly savory coatings.”

Olive, “Disgusting.  Absolutely disgusting... “  She stands, “I'm going to go get more, for traveling...”

Rafe shakes his head. "Sounds a lot like the Reclamation and Replicator Systems of Star Fleet. Cool. Disgusting, but cool. Think I'll get some too."


Time passes and people drop by the table as its learned they are gathering there.  Everyone has baskets brimming with goodies.  

Dalt and Ovkasix return and take seats at the table.

Ovkasix looks to Bently, “Change your mind?  I've got a Manager's post in Hutripo that is just crying for you.”

Bently nods, “Sounds great, but I have other plans.  “

Ovkasix says, “Oh really?  Life or Vision? Wishers wouldn't even consider you yet.  Me either and I'm an Illuminar.”

Rafe asks, “Dalt?  Anything we should know?”

Dalt says, “We have been invited to a Ball.  At Water Hall.”  Sylex raises her head, looking to Bently then Ovkasix.  

The two meet eyes.  For a few moments, then Sylex lowers her head sadly.  

Ovkasix says, “Of course you are invited.  Tripsina will be there and is looking forward to hearing your side of the Tinsanax fiasco.  Especially the part Kupakwasheakfa played in it.  Dalt spoke glowingly on your behalf.  I never like Tinsanax anyway. Great pool sex but a lousy attitude.”

Sylex asks humbly.  “Do you , sir, know of Tinsanax's whereabouts now?”

He shakes his head.  “Not with certainty.  I could guess but so could you or Bently just as well.  Now... I have to get back to business.  Prince Dalt, you have my name.  Call anytime.”

Rafe asks, “Dalt?  Anything we should know now?”

Dalt says, “Later. In Ang Ri”
