Submission for the next Newsletter; as you can see, I am well ahead of the frightful deadline. I am afraid of deadlines....
Fort Insanity Completed
The home of the Guardians of Insanity is officially opened! Queen alwaysthere presided over the gala opening ceremony, in which literally
hundreds dozens some of Insanity's leading citizens were shown around the unclassified areas of the vast military empire.
A few citizens were harmed during the ribbon cutting ceremony. The self-styled Generalissimo SamekhMem was heard to remark "Maybe we shouldn't have used triple-strand, razor-tipped concertina wire as the ribbon." The extreme tension upon the ribbon caused a great deal of whiplash when the last strand was cut, but all of the injured were treated (by a nearby
Mystic Healer) and released. Most are expected to recover pretty well, all things considered.
Recruiting for the Army is ongoing as well...the Assassins in particular are well represented, but the Kamikaze Warriors are a little few in number. When asked about this shortage, the General would only say "Well, I don't know...it's not like we have started training in their specialty. And my uncle was a famous kamikaze in his time...he flew 12 successful missions!"
In a completely unrelated incident, a surprise training exercise was carried out in the Dungeon. One of the Martial Arts Warriors, a Private Rose, was tasked to act as a terrorist, and in training captured and held the Queen of Insanity hostage, in order to test the rapid-deployment capabilities of the fledgling Army. Generalissimo SamekhMem called the training a "complete success,' and the response of his troops "...forceful, deliberate and effective." He further added, "The Queen was never in any danger at all. Nohow, noway. These rumors of a renegade chef are just a bunch of hooey. Hooey, that's it!"
When we asked if we could question Private Rose, we were told she was taking a long, long vacation. Somewhere where "the sun does not shine."
