Nils suggests what our Kralorelan special guest might be up to:
>Howsabout drugged on black lotus, kept happy with nubile
>ivory skinned slant-eyed maidens, in a blissful stupour
>where he gladly accepts a subjugated position? All to
>ensure that the troublesome newcomer moon can be said
>to be voluntarily under the rule of the Dragon Empire.
Sounds like great work if you can get it! Or perhaps - given that Peter reckons he's a gardener, he's more like a pathetic "Pu Yi" character, a thoroughly rehabilitated "war criminal" who resiles from his former life and is pathetically eager to please his new masters and parrot the party line (cf. Pu-Yi's astonishingly servile and self-recriminatory autobiography "From Emperor to Citizen", or the film "The Last Emperor".) Given that we've got some Soviet ideology into the Lunars, why not a bit of Commie China into Kralorela?

Have a read of Jane Williams's brilliant "Secret History of Sun County" in QUESTLINES II. This features a section of "Future History", with speculations about what various main players get up to.

To be precise, Jeff's antipodean sojourn was in *southern* Australia, but he spent all of his time in the state of Victoria, not with the crow-eaters in neighbouring SA. It was great fun to have him over here, and although his LARP "Fall of the House of Malan" went splendidly well, I still think Jeff's trip highlight must be being asked to shoot our national symbol and being handed a semi-automatic rifle within seconds of his arrival at Andrew Bean's country estate.
Cheers,
MOB
