Adventures in Demon Washing
(Notes: Molo, having kidnapped Cordir from her wedding to Keller, decided that it would be fun to loan her out to the Implementor, Madman, to act as his scullery maid, doing whatever tasks the Implementor wished. On her first visit, she cleaned His office... on her second, things got a bit more dangerous than dust bunnies.... I think this was around 1996. Back at that time, I 'converted' the TFC log to something a bit more story-like, combining actions and says. I've reverted it back to a more TFC style log. - Cordir 10:36, 21 December 2011 (MST)
