Agape Amor Apple Fou Ludens

[Malaclypse 666]

The lull in the Congregation's responses was suddenly punctuated by an extraordinary event.

The Guests and Epopts began to feel a growing vibration coming throught the floor of the Biodome. It seemed to be emanating from somewhere below, in the approximate direction of the Goddess Geode.

At the same time, the Five Elements of the Baffin System visible through the biodome's glasteel windows, the Sun, Eris, Hodge, Podge, and the Geode, began to shimmer, as if being obscured by a transparent veil of energy.

Suddenly, each and every person at the Ceremony experienced a message, transmitted directly to their Pineals.

"@All Hail Crab Newberg! Woof!@"

As the more senior members of the TAZ realized the source of this telepathic message, sighs and sobs could be heard, as well as the odd "Woof!", and "Hail Fnordie!"

Finally, the Episkopos himself responded.

"You tell 'em, Fnordie! Hail Eris!"
