Walking into the Oracle office, Brian was flagged down by Kerri who seemed rather excited as she held what looked to be a new ad in hand and was preparing to leave the office herself.

"Heyas nya! I gotta get this to the printers, but lookit lookit! I mean who would put out an ad like this!? But the Boss says we gotta do it, so no time for love Doctor Jones! Nya ha?"

Kerri shoved the ad in Bri's face and somehow he managed to read it, and this is what he saw.

DESPERATELY SEEKING no one, to do nothing, at the Rhy'Din Springs Water factory. This person I'm looking for shouldn't exist and in doing so, must not be able to lift between 50 - 75 lbs and be customer-oriented. They will not be paid a decent wage, including medical/dental benfits, and will have no hope for a good retirement plan. The unjob includes twenty personal and vacation days that will never be used. Please do not respond to this ad in person or by telephone, we won't want to hear from you. All Rhy'Dinians are ugly, stupid and useless anyway.

"So who submitted this, Kerri?"

"I dunno, Longden I think.. Oh yeah! That little one, with the tails on her head! Like to kill bugs?? Roach Smasher, stomper.. Uh"

"You mean Killa?"

"THAT'S IT!"

Brian jumped a bit, due to Kerri excitable squirrel on crack like scream, and looked back to the ad.

"Y'know.. I think I am gonna check this out. I heard some things and maybe it's time for a career change.. Sides this is the most ass backwards ad I have ever seen and ya know what, it makes perfect sense. I swear it screams at me. I like it!"

"Huh?"

"Yeah I think it's time I look into some new work, and if this is her gig, it's bound to be interesting."

Brian turned around and left the office, next stop the Rhy'din Spring Waters Company. It was time to get with Tara and see just how the Elder Ravenlock could fit into her plans for hydration domination for the waterized market.

Brian hardly realized how comlplete Tara's directions were, especially since they were drawn in comic format. He more than likely looked a bit funny was he walked through the streets pf Rhy'din, laughing as he followed directions. Yes, Tara's are is that damned funny, and pretty ont he mark if ya had to follow the directions. A grin on his face as he had indeed arrived and stood before the front entrance of the Rhy'din Springs Water Company.

"Let's see what we got here.."

Tucking the directions into his pocket, Brian looked about once more and made his way inside.


"Ello there suh, an welcome to the Rhy'din Springs Water Company, and how may I assist you today?"

Brian was greeted by a pretty little lady behind a small desk in he lobby. A warm smile and bow was offered as he showed her a copy of what Kerri had shown him.

"Hello there, my name is Brian Ravenlock and I am literally help unwanted."

"Help unwanted?? Did I hear correct, suh?" quite the puzzled expression on her face as she regard the Elder Ravenlock. "Ah mean you do know what this place is? Don't you?"

Brian simply smiled and nodded, as his eyes swept over the lobby. It was one of thise standar type corperate lobby set ups. A nice set of sofas tucked into a corner, with a very interesting looking table that was what at first looked to be literally Tara herself standing upon it. But on closer inspection it was indeed a statue that had about a foot offa everyone's favourite hell raiser and water maker. Brian was glad he didn't make the mistake of talking to it, a great friggin' impression that woulda made.

"Please my dear, if you could please let someone know I am here and I seek to become the help unwanted.."

"Why of course mistah..."

"Ravenlock my dear, Brian Ravenlock."

"Of course suh, please forgive me." and with that she was around from the desk and through a near door. Brian could hear hushed tones as he walked around lobby. It had a pleasant feel to it, nice earth tones, and the most interesting company posters Brian had ever laid eyes upon. many looked to have been done by Tara herself. gods this was indeed going to be interesting. Soon the receptionist made her way back inside the room.

"Please forgive me, Mistah Ravenlock. Someone will be along shortly to escort you. Also.."

"Thank you Miss, and yes?"

"Well uh... Is your sister Jewell?" Such an unsure tone for one who was asking, Brian could see the girl was a tad unnerved a bit. He smiled faintly and answered honestly.

"Why yes she is."

That was all there was to it as the receptionist squeeled a bit and hugged herself.. A hint of red came over her cheeks, as she did so. This of course caused Brian to ponder what effect his sister had upon the lady, but that was not to be the case as a man came through the lobby talking to himself.

"Of all the back water places, damned idiots, who the <censored folks> eats a damned straw! I mean HOLES are bad! Argh! Bad! Choke on em for all I care!"

That said the man exited and could still be heard down the walkway out side. Then, a loud crash, a scream and little else.. Brian simply chuckled to himself.. "Culled indeed.."

"You mister 'Help Unwanted'" said a man standing before Brian now. Brian blinked a few moments and nodded cooly, and replied.

"Yes I am, is Tara available?"

"Yes she is, please follow me. My name is Frank and I run the 'PR' and you are Brian Ravenlock, if I didn't overhear you wrong."


"Yes I am, a pleasure to meet you."

"That's good, Tara has been looking for 'Unwanted Help' for a while, I hope you last."

The rest of the conversation went by in a blur as well as their surroundings. Soon Brian was in front of Tara's office as Frank dipped his head inside.

"Tara? Brian Ravenlock to see you."

Frank then nodded to Brian and went along his way, as Brian slowly made his way inside the office.

"Tara, a pleasure as always. Let's cut to the chase, I want in on some hydration domination. Let's play."

Brian smiled when he saw her. In truth how could he not, with all the fun they engaged in. War, turning the Inn, into a bay watch scene, plotting, and having fun at the expense of others. Yep, he had to admit she was fun to be around. He winced a bit seeing the house fall.

"OOh Sorry about that, dear. That was a damned fine house. I take it the straw salesman was less than enthused?"

"Hydration Domination. Okay, let's play. You shall be...."

Brian grinned and eyed his new soon to be boss, and pondered what havoc might be wrought by them. Then again this was a business.. Buuuut if anyone can make Hydration Domination fun, it would in fact be Tara and Bri..

"I've got it! You shall be muh Chief Financial Officer! What does you think about that, Brian, hmm?"

Brian offered a ponderful look and nodded to himself. This was the beginning of something the likes which might never be seen again in the realm of the hydration market.. gods help those who get in their way, or just happen to be around. Brian felt good about this, and nodded in appreciation.

"Tara my dear, at the risk of sounding sad and pathetic.. Make me yer monkey boy!"

"Tada! You's office, Brian! Yay!"

Brian eyed the 'normal office' which was quite a bit different from the press room and the safe room. He smiled and nodded to the excitable one and clapped his hands in response.

"Tara, this is wonderful! Simply perfect!"

A bow offered to Tara, with an little grin to boot.

"So Tara, let's talk about that 'other' water company, 'Heifer Hills'... I think it's time they truly learned what 'Hydration Domination' really means.

"What can we do indeed, Tara... Hmmm"

Brian pondered what exactly could they do.. The it hit him upside the head like a sack of bricks, or small dead animals.. We'll leave that up to you, the reader.

"I got it... Wait... Almost... Ah, disco.."

Grinning once more, Brian nodded to himself and liked the idea. It was classic, it had been done many times before and hardly anyone care so long as no one was hurt in the process..

"We need to teach them, that there is only room enough for 'one' true water company in all Rhy'din.. I think I have a way and I need to do a bit of shopping for it. It's time to see Pepe' at 'Pepe' el Grande's bad ass House of Fireworks and Explodary Mayhem' down in WestEnd. Oh yeah, and a couple of Wombats too.. Just for good measure."

"You did, Tara? In that case I simply *must* see that outfit. As far as disco... I promise that is something you will like as well, I mean they say disco is dead, and you like dead things don't you?"

Brian pondered a moment and simply grinned. Oh yeah, Records did burn and much more as well. A day disco fans would more than like never forget, and all this time later, heifer fans would not forget what Brian had planned for their little hydration company that stood in the way of Tara.

"Yes Tara, grab that new outfit.. I think it may need to be a summer one. Maybe we can have a bar b que, you like burned things don't you?"
