All of Akne's best paid plans led to failure. Here he had innocently (;-)) suggested that he would test one of the whips if Badgirl was allowed to use it and he ends up being hit by a cat by Bubba- who would want that??? besides Alli I mean?? Not only was he whipped, he fled into a polluted Oasis and was almost eaten by crocs. So here he was, shipped, smelling of sewage and still shaking from almost being served as an an hors deover. To make matters even worse, when pushing open the door he got a splinter in his finger. What next? a paper cut?

Neffy followed closely behind Akne as he entered the bar again. Bubba screamed something about wearwolf masks and then left the bar with his new cat. The rest of the patrons turned toward Akne and Neffy and looked..well the looked green. "You guys sink" Bebe yelled,"get the heck out of here." Akne looked at neffy - trying to think up a witty retort, but was too slow. A burly bouncer came forward and, finger pinching his nose closed, threw the two of them outside. "Clean up or don't come back." the bouncer growled.

This was the worst yet. First, Spethi takes over his bar, then he is thrown out of it because he is just a little whiffy. Bathe? Akne? they were in the midddle of the desert and the nearest clean water was miles away; unless they used the undeground pool next to the bar, but that place gave him the willies. Lets see, he'd been down there three or four times and three or four times he'd been attacked by some goofy creature. Not to mention all of the drugged wine down there. Even Tayfun didn't bother with that stuff.

Suddenly Akne noticed that Neffy was staring at him. "What" he said. "You do realize that you are babbling aloud" she laughed. 'Spethi said she cleaned out that area, she was hoping to turn it into a spa but the water was too cold. As for me, I am going to bathe there...you can bathe ...later...after I am done. With that, Neffy got up, opened the cover to the underground chamber and went down.

Akne sighed. He'd been rejected by a woman that seemingly chased everyone. At least he would not longer have to hike across the desert to bathe. Getting up, he followed Neffy into the chamber. In the closed space, he could smell the combined effect of their two effluent covered bodies. Hopefully neffy would finish bathing soon. Here, underground, the smell was really overpowering.
