The Foreign Legion

Unknown
edited 8 July, 2016 in Party Time & Virtual Play Dates
We are all misfits somewhere. In Greek, xenos means both "friend" and "stranger." Bring an Open Mind. Welcome! The credo: Experiment. Be curious, though interfering friends may frown. Get furious at each attempt to hold you down. If this advice you will employ The future can offer you infinite joy And freedom. Experiment – come chat -- And you'll see.* Emoticon Free Zone: part of the spirit of the Legion is to express one's "self." Sharing emotions is part of learning and understanding which promotes friendship and congeniality. A cartoon figure is a shortcut to language in which a written or spoken phrase states your emotion, and offers a wider stage for learning. *apologies to Cole Porter for a bit of liberty with his lyrics.

    Oh, let me be your first recruit! What fun! And I truly believe in an Emoticon-Free Zone. *hee!*

    Well, I didn't know if there would be many kit recruits, but we are co-ed!

    Co-ed is an enlightened idea. I knew I could count on you. To be enlightened, that is.

    I hope this will be a forward-thinking forum... And emoticon-free is a toughie. Don't want to hurt anycat's style, but here we can keep it to word conversation. I had to bring some espresso...join me?

    I'd love some! Guess you'll have to get a machine. I suppose I don't mind the emoticons so very much, as long as it's just one every so often. They sure do seem to make everything slow down, don't they?

    *passes Sophie a cup of espresso* I think Catster mentioned cleaning up some files, so I imagine it will be faster. But it did become extremely slow when the E's started. Yes, some coffee, tea, spring water...I haven't stocked up. I will need some help since we are out of town a bit...old property, you know!

    Old property, no kidding. I'll help with whatever is needed, just let me know. Maybe I'll do a bit of shopping tomorrow. Water and so on. *sips espresso*

    I may need your brothers' lifting strength -- no offense! They told me that this was deserted property when the railroad moved the line. Small old station. All I have now is these cushions! But there's electricity. Muy modern.

    Oh, you can borrow their muscles, just let them know when. *looks around* Rustic, with great potential. These old buildings can be beautiful, can't they? Was this the station, did you say?

    Yes...not much but the counter and a few benches left. Decent size for what was a small town. The shutters just need clean-up and maybe re-hanging... Can get fridge. A bit off the beaten path, but then downtown is busy, so who knows? Couldn't pass up the opportunity.

    You see things others miss! Just needs some cleaning up, and maybe get rid of a cobweb or two! Everything is dry in here, so I don't think the roof leaks. I think you did good!

    Bargain, I think. *rolls eyes* But what do I know? Can be used for lots of things, but just getting together at first and as we say, "Experiment!" See what anycat feels like bring up.

    Aww,why don't you kitties like the emoticons? I guess once the "new" wears off, maybe they will only be used occasionally. I'm sure HQ still has some "bugs" to get out too.

    Heya, Squeaks! Still love the dress! Oh, it's not about emoticons...that's kind of a joke. Just a different place, and more wordy. We shall see.

    Oh, I'm glad the feral colony got so much done...good food and a warm night's pay! Hmmm *looks around and nods* Polished benches; grey and tan lacquer walls; pot-belly stove needs shining up; must get the mandarin red for the shutters....powerwash the outside... *looks for email of the feral colony*

    If this is really the foreign legion,does that mean we won't have to listen to the sound of ripping bodices?

    Absolutely! We are educated outlanders, but I doubt if heavy breathing et al. would last long! Will need some spare music, if you have any on your 'pod, Ray.

    We are a self-sufficient bunch, so may not appeal to all. But not exclusive. You're here, aren't you?!! Wait til you meet the Ferals...they are from all over. Interesting crew, but only come out late. I am building some trust with them.

    Uh, Ray, didn't you have a relative, Kizzie, or something who was in a feral colony...I thought I saw... well, never mind.
