THE WONDERS OF RHAM; SETTLING IN FOR A NEW LIFE

"Shocked." said Janice Pettibon at meeting her grandmere Marsalene Deseveaux in a crowded apartment building in Rham's 10th arrondissment. The woman who taught her how to bake cookies when she was five was now a stripper and a very popular one in one of Rham's many casino lounges. It wasn't as Janice had expected spending eternity relaxing and reminiscing with with the mother of her mother. Deseveaux was living the life she had given up for family, children, and home for every day of her 79 year life. It took Janice Pettibon two days to realize she would not be able to afford to live in the 10th arrondissment. Rents ran as high as h!3 ($US 2000, £ 1024.20) per month. Janice Pettibon needed to get a job so on her fourth day in Hell she went out looking.



She couldn't deal blackjack or the Hellac card game of choice Riposte! that involved three decks and progressive betting that gave her a headache to even attempt to calculate. Typing takes on a new dimension here and office work bored her to tears for the short amount of time she'd done it before getting married and becoming a housewife. There was very little chance of getting married in all the hustle and bustle she found as she drifted down the numbers toward the 17th Rondi. It was just a little too seedy and she settled on a place with a sign in the window that to her read "Help Wanted". Entering she saw all manner of pipes and jars filled with ground spices and oddly shaped leaves. The man at the counter stopped what he was doing, which was reading a foreign paper to say, "One hundred fifty denarii a day and smoke all you want of the stuff on the bottom shelves. You open on Mondays and Tuesdays and have Wednesday and Thursday off. I close the place for three weeks every Ravenshade and if you last until the next one they'll be paid weeks off. Any questions?"


"I'll take it. Do you know where I can find an apartment close by?" Janice asked.


"Yeah there's a place a block up that's h! 1.5 a month with only a 500 d deposit. My brother owns the building."


Janice shook hands with Talshon Akmaniam an Ethiopian smokeshop owner who was happy just knowing that he would have another day off. The last young woman he hired had decided she wanted to get married and move up to the 1st Rondi with the man who said he loved her. He found out later form people in the neighborhood that she was on a shuttle heading out of town used and ashamed to return to her family. That happened alot in Hell and even more so on Rham where the wealthy preyed on the poor in a kind of sick sport. As Janice was about to find out the poor every now and then got a little of their own back.

THE ANN COULTER STADIUM UPDATE 1

Have you ever asked yourself what your world would look like without America. One day America will pass away as Rome did and the Han did and the Maya. Great powers at the peak of their decline always feel their existence is Eternal. Nothing dear lady, on Terra is Eternal. America will pass into history, either sooner, or later it matters not. Terra will continue to spin on her axis and it shall continue to circuit Sol long after the current fad of government, America, Islam and Mankind are all whispers the blowing mist of the mighty Pacific makes upon the unpopulated shore.-- The Fate of Terra, Letters to the Blind--Haxax Carnido


Qu'ul cuda praedex nihil!







Seats are being installed today in the massive 528,500 seat Ann Coulter Stadium at The Crosslands ™. The stadium is an open air facility with a synthetic turf surface with a crucifix post mound located in the centre of the pitch. A large tunnel tall enough to accommodate the Gorgon Os'Qar at the South End of the stadium floor has been fully completed with its lighting having been tested today. Private boxes which will rent for h!100 per year have already been booked in full with all fifty two of them being drawn for in a lottery this past week. Field level passes will be auctioned in a prize lottery that has brought the Crosslands Building Fund ™ over h!600,000 in revenue. 88% of these monies have gone into the accommodations for fans at field level. The six luxury boxes, which rent for h! 100 per production {note there are three productions per day 06h45m, 12h00m and 18h00m} have been finished and can easily fill all the needs of torture fans who wish to have a once in an Eternity experience. No request will go unfulfilled from the choice of food and drink to the physical contact needs of those fortunate enough to have a chance to witness Justice of the Highest Order.




We look forward to serving you soon and will welcome you to the facility grand opening on 1 Colnu 1 AS.
