1. Upcoming & Recent Events:
NIKOS SEZ
Join Mentors Angelia and Pamico on May 16th at 9pm EST for the next game
of Nikos Sez! It's so much fun you won't even realize you're learning all
the best verbs and what they allow you to do! Meet in the Sweet Oblivi Inn
sitting room (From the Northwest quad, use DIR INN. Once inside, go EAST).
Hope to see you there!
THARGELIA THANK YOUS
Apollo was delighted by all of the gifts his children of the light rounded
up for him on his birthday this past May 5th. Never has he had such a happy
Thargelia and he sends his personal thanks and would also like to share in
his good fortune by telling you of the gift he gave himself this year. It's
a surprise for everyone, but he did give us a hint: it's much better than
bellybutton lint.
LYRE LAMENTATIONS
Now we would 'like' to take a moment to post one of our readers' letters.
Listen up Mortals,
It would behoove you greatly to include the following in your next newsletter, or else I will be forced to (do some very nasty things not fit to print. -ed.). You people have failed me for the last time and now that so-called King of Thieves has my lyre. Get it back... now.
Signed, The Mistress of Distress
That's right, the magical lyre is still at large! Keep your eyes peeled and your wits about you at all times and you could find yourself in the middle of this ongoing plot, teeming with intrigue and betrayal!

2. Athenian News:
WEAPON BONDING
Forlorn warriors fret no more! With weapon bonding on the horizon you need
never be lonely again. Weapon Bonds, Inc.'s spokesperson Joxer of Olympic
Street, Athens (two blocks from Akhmar the meatman) was heard to say, "Yes,
even I, Joxer the Mighty, get lonely sometimes. And it's so good to have
that trusty sword at your side for when certain people do their best to get
rid of... hey guys, wait up!" (The rest was lost as he jangled away noisily
to catch up with his companions who were in the process of furtively sneaking
away). Get your weapon bonded today and turn your protection into a trusty
companion!
CATERING TO YOUR EVERY WHIM
The newest fad in Delphi, catering is sweeping the known world and everyone
is catching the craze! Screams at the local symposiums for catered private
parties were met with horrified stares from the local magistrates as tables
were overturned and guards disarmed and huddled in corners. To quell the
angry masses, they soon agreed to have these caterers available to the public
as soon as possible.
A LITTLE RUB'LL DO YA'
Socra Stones were recently changed to allow more bang for your rub. The good
folks that made this change, though, caution that you need only rub them
once at a time. Multiple rubs will serve to make the effects last for a shorter
time, not longer. So save those rubs for later and let your thoughts be heard
by the masses for years to come!
BRAWLING BECOMES MORE BRUTAL
Tired of punching a rowdy just to have him snicker at you? When you kick
a pirate does he make disparaging remarks about needing sea legs? Well those
days are over! Prometheus discovered the small problem Epimetheus caused
when creating man, and as a result, the odds of winning a brawl are finally
tipped back to our favor! Enjoy the newfound strength!
