*hypatia waits to be served.

*XFire slips on the line

<in>hypatia _is_ on the line (or some of her) - your point

*hypatia laughs at XFire.

*spiv serves, then quickly pulls the table away, making XFire's return a difficult problem.

<hypatia>Hey! I'm still the table!

---You are now known as table

<spiv>hypatia: And your arms were very handy to yank on.
