WAR: The Mercs Advertise 1/? (We may have more
commercials.  Then again, we might not.)
By Shadowstar
Ratsies used by permission.

Shadowstar grinned as she dressed the last ratsie that
she'd borrowed from Libs in a purple sequined tutu
(think Angelina Ballerina on crack) and set it with
its fellows.  "Remember what you're supposed to do?"
she asked.

The four little ratsies nodded in unison and started
to do a chorus line.  Shadowstar clapped.  "Good!" the
ratsies stopped dancing and looked at her expectantly.
 She stood up, faced the camera and began.  "To all
war participants, this is a public service
announcement!"  She snapped her fingers and the
ratsies started to dance as a tinny voice sang in the
background.

"Have a job that's really tough,
Hire Mercs, they're really rough."

The ratsies pirouetted in unison, the skirts of their
tiny tutus flying out with their tails.  The hems of
their scrub bottoms flew out as well, making them look
like miniature sails as the voice continued to sing.

"They will do your job so quick,
You will think they're really slick."

The ratsies jumped high in the air, their tiny toes
stretched in perfect arabesques.  They came down
lightly, landing on their pointed toes.  The ratsies
linked into a line and started doing high kicks like
the Rockettes.

"For a lovely fee of gold,
They will do just as they're told!"

The little ratsies jumped again, this time landing in
a perfect split.  Shadowstar's voice filled the air.
"Support your local Mercenary Guild--if you know
what's good for you!"

The ratsies bowed and scampered off as the camera shut
down.

"Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things that
a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good and
that honor, courage and virtue mean everything. That power and money
mean nothing. That good always triumphs over evil and I want you to
remember this, that love ... true love never dies."  --Hub,
