A Picnic on Kami Motu - by Ken Fletcher

The more traditional pleasant times on Kami Motu in the Spontoon Island
Lagoon... compared to some unusual events that are shown in some
of the local stories. See "When Jealousy Rears Her Lovely Head"
a serial story by Richard Messer.
"I wish," said Lucile that night as she lay curled up in
her favorite chair, "that I could create something. I wish
I could write a story--a real story."

"Being the twenty-ninth part of Amelia's
Diaries.
Having tried the direct approach to reclaiming her
new
ancestral estates and Allworthy Industries,
Amelia falls back from a direct assault to think
again..."--Simon Barber
**** 2 September
1937 ****
(Upload 2 May 2021)
An Evasive change of direction. Amelia considers
an indirect route to the south of England, to
pick-up her
repaired seaplane, Storm Bird. The Bentley automobile
they are driving is likely to be too conspicuous on the
journey,
but there may be a way to indirectly disguise it, while
continuing
to travel. England is seen with new eyes after 3
years away.
A hitch-hiker gets a hitch-hire. From a list of
recommended
contacts (from past fellow-traveler, Miss Jinks), they
arrive
safely, to meet another welcoming upper-class hostess
in a country home. Dinner is served.

so Amelia may begin to settle into Lady Allworthy's
estate. By taxi to Allworthy's lawyers, where Amelia's
identity is
accepted, and she is shown the Allworthy portfolio. By taxi
to the
estate's bank, and then a taxi to the sparsely-furnished

populations disappearing before or after the Storm
Bird's
arrival are becoming too many to be coincidence. They

the crew relaxes the rest of the day with
the Jenks family, hiking and touring
the countryside near Brighton.

Saturday: A farewell...with Letters
of Introduction. A stop in Lewes town, to
pick up the refurbished sporting rifle, and
the re-tuned Bently touring car. A drive to London
to confer with Amelia's lawyers, who show that all is
not well with Allworthy Industries; the managers seem
unworthy of their hire. For the evening, since the
Allworthy townhouse is likely watched, the crew
check into a hotel in Soho district. We are
introduced to the books of W.D. Pontoon.
A cafe dinner is in the offing.

The previous evening in the Soho
district of
London, beginning at a coffeehouse. Maria critiques
an Italian-language newspaper of subtle editorial direction.
After, a stroll in Soho - with memories of Spontoon Island.
To a 'grill room' and an excellent dinner. Familiar faces
are seen at the bar, with familiar modus operandi...
Tips about Songmark Academy are traded for
a tour of an after-hours hangout in Soho.
A cautious & respectful time is had by
all. A safe return to the hotel, and a
good sleep. Sunday is a 7-hour
pleasant drive towards

An indirect approach to Miss
Millwright's
home town in Yorkshire. Discussing Furturist Italian
cuisine, and roadside scenery seen. Lunch talking
and lunch eaten. An unfortunate road accident
discovered, Songmark first-aid; police called.
On to Ilkley, where they meet-up with Miss
Millwright at the town lido. They visit her
parents, and answer questions about
Songmark Academy. They will be
driving her to the airport on the
morrow... And perhaps answer
more questions without her
parents around....

Miss Millwright joins them in
the morning for pre-travel
shopping in Ilkley town. They stop by her home to collect
local area maps, and to say a farewell to Miss Millwright's
family. On departure, they shortly find that their good
deeds of the previous day have indeed published
their location: Their enemies have a surprisingly
observant search! While the small local roads
in the valleys have trees and many small
farm buildings providing cover, their
general path is being anticipated.
The upper slopes of the valleys
are sparser grouse-hunting
land, with less cover. They
will have to prove more
nimble & resourceful.

At Parsall Hall before the Squire's shooting-party
returns. There is
a walk up into a wild part of the estate--a Yorkshire
canyon & brook,
home to dark legends, and worthy of a group trance by
Warrior Priestesses.
In trance, more is sensed: The continuing search by a
focused force of magic.
Aware, they evade detection, and return to the Hall to
see the Squire's return.
Hospitality includes describing the traditions of
English manor-house murder-
mysteries. After dinner, Captain Smythe semi-privately
talks with Amelia,
complementing her tactical skills, and exchanging
intelligence and
advice concerning Amelia's attempt to take control
of Allworthy
Industries. The next morning Christiana Millwright is
also
given advice & good wishes at the airport, where
she will start on her journey to Songmark
Academy on Spontoon Island.

Yes, she's a rabbit; their son's a Cute Event Horizon.
"Upper right is Wo Fang, a Manchurian tiger and his wife Shin, the daughter of the family.
She calls him her 'widdle kitty,' and he used to be a bouncer at the Lucky Dragon,
the casino/brothel operated by her mother.
"Center, there are Ni Hei on the left and Ni Peng on the right. They are in their fifties,
and despite events they have managed to prosper while keeping the family together.
"At bottom, Ni Hao is shown with his new bride, Xiu.
Hao's the youngest member of the family and a bit of a psychopath.
He's about 19 in this picture, with about two-dozen murders behind him.

"Katrina Demjanjuk (the tabby on the left) and Halli Amura (the

are officers in the Rain Island Naval Syndicate's Air Arm, that
country's air force.
Pictured here in 1937, Katrina flies the KV-9 seaplane fighter
and Halli the KV-3 seaplane bomber. Halli Amura is a native
Spontoonie,
but was part of the first group from that nation to join the
Rain Island Naval Syndicate.
She was selected for flight training as a pilot in the Air Arm,
earning her wings in 1937.
She's a qualified combat pilot, having earned Rain Island's
third-highest award."

by EO Costello
Reggie Buckhorn is firmly against all
adventuring and Saving theWorld,
when he's in the Spontoons. Actions like these
would interfere with his ability
to enjoy a quiet glass of refreshment. Or
two. Or three.
Nevertheless, Reggie makes his impact felt on
Spontoon society,
in his own high-spirited fashion. Snooty
head-waiters and impatient rozzers,
you have been warned! Pour yourself a generous
G&T and read about Reggie's
various attempts to combat the boredom of the
hours outside cocktail hour.
