******************************************************
<In the administrative area>
Kendaa was getting real animated with her caller. "Now, don’t tell me. You need a vacation? I know but I’m not ready to go back yet. I like it here. The environment is doing wonders for my sanity." Kendaa said that with a big smile and a wink at Herk. Seizing the opening as a life saver because Deeva was now sitting on his lap. How she got there was vague in his mind but Herk was now in need of a cold shower or at least a diversion. " Who are you talking to Kendaa?" asked Herk trying to let Deeva down nicely. But she kept holding on to him with her arms around his neck and she was wiggling way to much for his peace of mind. She was definitely not ready to let go. <Note of the author: Would any of us be really? LOL>
Kendaa answered "Laurissa. She needs a vacation." "Laurissa? Really. I want to talk to her." Getting up suddenly Herk sent Deeva down on the floor. " OUCH!" cried Deeva. "Oups, I’m sorry, are you hurt?" asked Herk a bit concerned. Deeva looked at him with very innocent eyes (you go girl <g>) "Yes, my bum hurts" she replies with a sob.
Princess burst out laughing. "Good one Deeva! You have not lost your touch."
Herk could only smile. Bending near Deeva, he whispered in her ear "I’ll see you later at the Chamber. I’ll see to your *injury* then."
Herk made his way to Kendaa and took the phone from her " Laurissa. How are you? You feel burn out. Working 60 hours a week?! What kind of business are you working at? Oh, Ares Detox Center. I see. Well, I know you "looove" your work but take a few days off and come visit. Can’t. You need someone to replace you. And Kendaa doesn’t feel up to going back to run the place. And you’re the only one she trusts. I see. One moment." Herk putting his hand on the receiver gave Kendaa a "what’s with you look". Kendaa gave Herk a sheepish smile. " I don’t want to leave. Really. I’m in no shape to be sent back. I’ll relapse into heavy Smithsonian delirium again (Note of the author: Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Really. We are not insane we are Smithsonian! Right Kendaa)
"But isn’t there anyone else that could take over? Who’s been helping Laurissa lately?" asked Herk. Kendaa’s face lit up. "I know who. Let me talk to Laurissa. I’ll work something out."
"Good. How about we go for a walk later tonight? We can discuss that. what did you call it "Smithsonian delirium". That sounds like an infectious condition" said Herk.
Kendaa laughed and nodded. Then said to herself. "You don’t know the half of it. Infectious condition. More like an on going non stop obsession."
Herk was on its way out when he noticed Kelly at her desk. She was very focused. Kinda ignored him, so intend she was on her work. Surprised Herk stopped and went to Kelly’s desk. Slides, color photographs, color print out were spread out on her desk. All had a common thread. Black leather.
Kelly was tracing with her nails the line of Sov’s black leather pants. She had a far away look in her eyes. "Hum, Kelly are you all right?" asked Herk. Kelly turned and said "What?" "Are you all right?" repeated Herk. "All right? Sure, I’m all right. Who are you? Where am I?" said Kelly.
Peeking at the material on Kelly’s desk, Herk realized something was wrong but what?
Deeva came up behind him and putting her arms around his waist said " She’ll be okay. It’s just FLS."
"FLS?" replied Herk.
"Yes, you know. "Forgetful Leather Syndrome". Kelly is working on a black leather lay out for the next KSHQ bulletin. Forgetfulness is one of the symptoms. And there is no known cure." said Deeva.
"No known cure! I see. Any treatment to ease the symptoms. And you said one of the symptoms. What are the others?" asked Herk still looking quite worried about Kelly who was now staring at a pic of Young Jason and becoming a little agitated.
Deeva with a sly grin answered "Well, the other symptom is a sudden urge to rip off leather from flesh. The treatment is to let her do it. And the only leather I see around is on you, Herk." Laughing, Deeva picked up her now rigid sweat pants and shirt and left.
******<Dock delivery department around 10h30>
Castalia and her class made their way to the dock delivery area or what I call Calico’s domain. <g> It is an airy and large space. With two very large doors for delivery trunks. At the far end of it rows of shelves where merchandises are stored. And where Calico and her purple pen rules supreme. At the entrance a beautiful sign welcomes visitors.
It says:
YOU ARE ENTERING CALICO’S KS DOMAIN:
We do the impossible today (Like getting you a calendar pronto)
The miracles we try to do tomorrow (Like getting you a life size Herk standee)
Getting Herk’s episode video library is still out of our reach… for now. But we are still trying.
Castalia pointing to the sign said to her class: "Learn it. Live it." Tedras, Joanie, Hilara and Skie nodded. Castalia looked around and did not see anyone. So she called out. "Calico? Suja? Anyone?" (Note of the author: Suja is Kevfriend. She knows I like Suja better than Kevfriend she won’t mind <g>)
From the far end came a response. "I’m here. I’ll be right with you." And a few seconds later Suja came walking in with a big box in her arms. "Cas, how nice of you to drop by? And with your class, no less. Wonderful. The new merchandise just came in. And Calico is working with some of the new amazons to but everything on the shelves in the back store. Want to see what’s in the box?" asked Suja who was in a very very good mood. Castalia smiled and the rest of the class had their eyes as big as saucers. Some lucky new amazons were unpacking new KS merchandise. How lucky can someone get. Suja put down the box and pried it open. All took a peek and went "Oh my!"
"Where did you get those? I can’t believe it! Kull tee shirt! I want one. Please, please. I’m very good at inventory, I’m sure you need someone to do that kind of stuff" said Hilara with pleading eyes. Suja let out a crystalline laugh. "Oh yes, we do inventory. In the basement and it gets pretty wild sometimes. Right Calico?"
"Yes, it does" was heard from behind the group as Calico walked in. "So you’re interested in inventory. I’m sure I can use you. All of you as a matter of fact" Calico added with a smile: "Come follow me. Oh, Suja, would you fill the orders for the new 8x10’s pics from Creations? Choose those you like, I trust your judgment." Suja nodded and said " Thank you. Might take a few hours, you know. I’ll have to examine each one truly, completely, totally, look up which ep they are from. I might need help. Can I borrow Tedras?"
Tedras’ face lit up. "Oh please. I could do that. I’m an artist. I have a keen sense of beauty. I could certainly be of help." Tedras’ made puppy eyes. (Note of the author: And what can be more beautiful than Kevin in print really? Nothing.)
Castalia let out a sigh. "Okay, you can. One condition, you make sure there is plenty of Iolaus’ pics and a few of Young Iolaus too. Deal?" "Deal!" Tedras and Suja then went in the office at the other end of the delivery dock. And the rest followed Calico in the merchandise area.

<Construction site around 10h30 give or take a few minutes but who’s counting when they’re having so much fun <g>>
Mayhem was the best word to describe the situation. And chaos. But with Sov what else can one expect. Nyxx had been walking toward the site while trying to figure out a way to get Melite’s mystery knot teacher when she hear screams. Nyxx sighed. " Oh, no not again. Ah, well. I guess Nannyboo will have to refrain from speaking for a few days. Now where are the water hoses?"
Picking up her pace, Nyxx rapidly got to the site. And it was not a pretty sight. Well Sov looked yummy. As always but the amazons were looking a bit ragged. Nannyboo was down to her lacy bra and boxers was passed out. Ap was wearing what seemed like a plaster cat suit. Very stylish. Andulasia’s hair were now in a Medusa kinda way. (Not that there is anything wrong with that, Sov did it himself <g>). Michelle was laying down in the plaster and making plaster angel. She was soon joined by Sov would kinda like the idea of making angels. "How ironic and so not me. I LIKE IT!". Sov soon grabbed Voluptua, Ann and Cokie pushing them down one by one in the plaster. "Now don’t move I’ll be right back" growled Sov. (I like they would, please <g>)
" Now Michelle, I’ll to try with you first." Sov was now standing over Michelle. Bending down and kneeling besides her, he took each of Michelle hand’s and arms and proceeded to make a plaster angel (think snow angel here but in wet plaster LOL). Very slowly, Sov gently pushed up her arms, kissing each lightly until he joined both her hands over Michelle’s head. Sov smiled and kissed her on the nose. "You make a very beautiful angel my dear. Very beautiful indeed."
"Now I want to perfect this technique. Voluptua, you’re next." yelled Sov. Sov’s plaster angel candidate were now lining up. All except Josée. After kissing Voluptua’s ears, playing with Andulasia’s hair, making Ann thud, Cokie and Ap swoon, Sov walked over to Josée. "Now don’t you want to help me make angels?" he asked very seductively.
"Well, I kind had an idea for a variation on a theme. Interested?" replied Josée. Sov raised an eyebrow. "I like your style, girl. Variation on a theme. What do you have in mind?"
Josée took Sov’s hand and brought him near the wall. She then gently pushed his back on it. She moved very close to him, slowly put her hands on each of Sov’s arms and lifted them upward, leaving a trail of kisses along the way. When both of Sov’s hands were over his head, Josée smiled and kissed his chin and said "Now that’s what I call an archangel."
Turning, Josée was Nyxx coming up. She immediately change her demeanor and became very serious. She walked up to Nyxx and said : "Time up, right?" Nyxx answered "Right!" and gave her one of the two garden hoses she was carrying. "Shall we?" was Josée’s reply.
