This is a free form ritual timed for 11:23 GMT, when Joe Annis will,
in a very real sense, meet his maker.
The purpose is to summon GM, and you may focus your energies in
any way you see fit, cast your seeds, or plant your orgone. But
please, no swearing unless its absolutely in character.

In a startling late development Jack Fear has detained our vain
victim in a last minute poetic shootdown over at the library, so he
can't escape.
He has to write three poems before he dies.
And I get to judge him twice.

Joe's taking this death threat thing very seriously. Is it...
A: A gag gone wrong?
B:The result of a huge argument?
C:A psychotic episode?
B:Other.

But then, for what crimes will Joe Annis be judged? I realize fair
and well that this needn't be a necessity for sacrifices, but a
trial, or the appearence thereof, is much more theatrical, and
therefore more appealing than straight out sacrifice?
At least take your time to mumble some occult mumbo-jumbo which
signifies nothing, but sounds dead cool.
And having just read Stargrave all over again, I think that this
sacrifice might be a good thing.
I quote: "The Shamans of the B–n-Po would offer up their own
flesh to be eaten by fierce demons." and "All over the world, the
SAME ritual experience; the holy man is taken up by the spirits or
the demons who strip him of his flesh and remake his body, always
introducing into it some alien element, like the magic bone or
stone."
By kil...sacrificing Joe Annis we offer part of his essence to
the gods, and he will vanish, then later return to the Nexus, having
gone through with his etheral makeover, bringing back an alien
element (Spirit of Grant), to the Nexus.
And, Rollo Kin, you trying to give the impression that you are
GrantM, or something?
(or perhaps you are (only said in the
unlikely case that you are him, and if you're capable of being
easily offended.))

I am also quite disappointed that I can't attend the sacrifice. But
I will be there in spirit, while I'm sleeping, and kind thoughts go
out to you all.
And, Joe, take ease. It will probably be short and painless,
although who am I to speak, stepping in at such a late
hour.
All's well.

So far a mere lurker
I burst in here to free poor Joe
Who song
with sweetness while encaged
though just off key.
This game is done and Joe is free
The ogre Jones is
banished
and the time nearly ripe to see
our hero: 11:23
(and all the letters in Joe Annis' name
have danced their way
back whence they came)

In my repentant heart I cut a round

And this
offer up to Grant for all your sake
Just because you took my name
Joe
I should not have blighted you
The play is done
the
time is come to bid you all
Adieu.

if that's any use.

I've wondered about Rollo Kin. Are we ready for a game of guess who?
I'm not going to take this any further myself. I've been meddling
with questions of identity far too much.
It's a nice name Rollo Kin. But he does have an E-Mail address.
And Citizen Smith doesn't.

Well, Rollo Kin says his interests are: Music/Art/Fiction/Magick,
and that he's a multimedia artist.
He has also talked about being impressed by barbelith, but that
he suspected that morrison might be put of by our behaviour.
Fankly, I don't know who's who, and I'm not sure I even care.

Grant I want to come and visit you. You sound a lot like my brother
in law but from Earth two. He's in Portland and works in radio and
gets puzzled by interesting things. But you remind me of him. Maybe
you should have met my sister. Maybe on Earth two you did. Maybe
impressions on the internet are misleading.
Maybe its time this thread was snipped.
