Head's Up for Thursday's class `Dancing Poetry'
Clytemnestra
Dancing Poetry Thursday 25th @ 1om SLT
For this class it is really best if you wear a kimono. If you don’t have a kimono here are a couple of LMs for places that have some cheap ones (L$100 – 300) for both men and women:

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Nagasaki%20BAKUMATSU/152/136/23
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Havelock/224/131/1598
If you are Linden loaded – or have an avid lover who likes to shower you with extravagant gifts - then here is the LM for a place where the kimonos are fabulous but cost over L$1,000!
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Milky%20House/126/157/23
In the Library there is a book called: `Kimonos and Kanzashi Color and Season Information’
which by now I hope you have read (second book from left on top shelf with cream binder) but don’t worry too much about seasonal colours for the class.
My assistant, Darla, and I will be using the Geisha Dance hud from Abranimations, but it only has 4 invites, so if you would like to get your own (we can then sync that to ours) it costs just L$350 and you can get free fans at the same location.

Companions Conceal Crash, Contaminate Coast
Paquin Mercury Reports
When Deebrane String's disabled ship crashed into the Keajra Sea, the Phoenix Acolyte was left in a coma for a week. Chief of Staff Fa-Le Yan jumped to the conclusion that the Orions were attacking and had kidnapped their High Priestess. Now, the High Priestess is making plans to handfast with the same Orion Ambassador Yan accused of kidnap. Yan seems to be looking for another story to cover up or distract attention from her hasty actions.
Recovery operations continue in the Keajra Sea. Reports of a giant custom-built salvage vessel, named by some sources as the Extromar Explorer, cannot be confirmed. Unnamed sources have revealed to this investigative reporter that the bulk of String's ship has been recovered. Flight recorders may confirm that the attacker was not Orion, but a Romulan revenue cutter on legitimate anti-piracy patrol.
Resistance, Flight, Breach Of Arrest, And Escape
The Romulan cutters apparently hailed and asked String to heave-to. The Acolyte seems to have ignored the lawful order and fled. The cutter may have fired warning shots that were also ignored. Finally, the Romulan disabled String's ship but broke off pursuit as String entered Alliance-controlled space.
String admitted to knowing at the time the pursuers were Romulans. However, String refuses to discuss the reasons for being in Romulan-patroled space or for fleeing from the patrol. When given a chance to comment, Yan relied on her usual formulation, saying she can “neither confirm nor deny the presence of any activity” around String's ship. She added “I am unfamiliar with what Deebs might have said as she was coming out of the coma.”

Ship Crashes Near Earth Islet, Rumors Ship Was Shot Down
EARTH ISLET - Phoenix Acolyte Deebrane String was admitted to Keajra Hospital in Spinwheel City today where she remains in stable condition, in the coma induced by regeneration treatment. Registered Companion Zai Xian remains at her Taksimi's side.
Early this morning, Chief of Staff Fa-Le Yan heard Deebs's mayday calls as her ship entered the Paquin system, already disabled and out of control. Deebs's great skill as a pilot allowed her to ditch her crippled craft safely in the Keajra Sea near Earth Islet..
Spinwheel Search and Rescue were quickly able to locate the Phoenix Acolyte, who had ejected just before impact, and transport her to the hospital. Yan has sealed the crash site, forbidding entry to everyone, including the commanding officer of Alliance cruiser Zheng He, who has promised repercussions from Yan's adamant refusal.
When asked about the report from a source wishing to remain anonymous that Deebs was being fired upon by a hostile craft as the Martian neared Paquin, Yan refused comment, and when pressed about the nature of the damage to Deebs's craft, Yan replied sharply that she can neither confirm nor deny the existence of any craft, damaged or otherwise.
The uncooperative Guild Chief of Staff also refused to acknowledge any link between the suspicious crash and the overdue return of the High Priestess. When the total failure of communications links to the Orion home world of Rigel VII was mentioned, Yan stated that the Orions are allies of the Companion's Guild and the High Priestess has accepted the Orion Ambassador as an honored guest. She claimed that there is no connection between the simultaneous communications blackout, disappearance of the High Priestess, and the damage to Deebs's craft.
The Cortex News Service will continue to investigate these mysteries, and will bring you up-to-the-nanosecond coverage of the Guild administration's coverup of these important events as they develop.

Guild Timetable now rolling!
There are too many Companion's Guild events to only publish the timetable twice a month, so from now on it will be rolled out whenever it needs updating :-) A new edition is available at all the usual places (Boat Dock, dorms, Lotus Station, Tsuyu, Castle Rock)
Firefly-class ship in Spinwheel
SPINWHEEL - There is a Firefly-class parked above Central Plaza in downtown Spinwheel. The ship is there as part of the celebrations for the registration of Ti Qi Companion House on Dragon's Egg. Registered Companions will be having a banquet on the ship which will stay in Spinwheel for the rest of the month.
It did come as a bit of the surprise to Spinwheel Mayor Tillery Woodhen, who hadn't been advised of the plans. The mayor's office didn't return waves requesting comment, but people in the apartment below the mayor's penthouse at the Paquin Arms were awakened by a sudden yell. They're not sure what he said, but the did hear this clearly, "Where the hell did that come from! Wait, is that my car? They landed on my gorram CAR?!?"
The mayor was last seen being led to his office by aides carrying large bottles of mao tai.
Residents and tourist are welcome to visit the ship during its time in Spinwheel.
