Would any one like to assume the role of the DragonLady/Burma/?
This tale was started as a thread for myself and Lady Murasaki, who sadly went missing 8 months ago. Take a moment to look at the story and if you are interested please PM me. Thanks.

Dear Pat, hate to impose. I know this is Terry's first year at college but my need is urgent. Outbreak of typhoid at the mission. Many sick and dying...Need medicine urgently...Only Terry can fly it in through these horrible mountains to this ragged little airstrip...My niece Burma will be waiting at Hooker Field with the needed drugs...Waste no time...situation desperate!
God be with you.
Joshua Swaine...Mount Hope Mission, Shantung Province.
Pat Ryan stood up from the desk and walked to the window overlooking the Quad at Remington State University.
The leaves had already turned from scarlet and gold to a muted cacaphony of oranges and browns. Winter wasn't far away.
Somewhere out there his young ward Terry Armstrong was in late afternoon classes suffering through the fundamentals of an Aeronautical Engineering degree at the urgings of his foster father.
Pat grinned and knocked warm ashes from his pipe into his palm.
Terry would be more than happy to get away from the scholastic drudgery and into a cockpit again.
The boy never ceased to amaze Pat. He'd taught him how to fly when he was six years old and now a dozen years later the young man was aknowleged to be the greatest pilot in the world!
But still...
If it were not such a desperate request from a man who once had saved Pat's life he wouldn't consider it.
And then there was Burma.
Oh my yes...Burma.
Professor Ryan keyed the intercom.
"Miss Tawnny, please cancel my classes for the next two weeks. I think Malone can take the Archaeology and Stevens the Anthropology...Oh and tell Terry when he comes by to pack his bags and get to Hooker Field...Pronto!"
The trans Pacific flight was ducksoup to both Terry and Pat. They stopped in Honolulu long enough for Burma to do some shopping and on the last leg of the flight even tried to teach the flighty young woman the rudiments of flying a plane.
But she just shook her pretty blonde curls and frumped...
"Ah'll jes never get the hang of this ol' flyin' business Terry."
She was sitting next to the teenager but her eyes were never far from Pat.
They stopped in Shanghai to refuel the 'Ruptured Goose', Terry's custon built twin engine, and then headed north for the rugged mountains of Shantung Province.
By a combination of luck and skill they were able to bring the big plane into the tiny airstrip in the midst of a raging storm only to be greeted with a very, very unwelcome surprize...
Mount Hope Mission, Shantung China, 1938...
Pat rose groggily from the narrow cot where he'd been dumped after the pummeling they'd recieved when they stepped from the 'Gooses' hatchway. They hadn't had a chance. A dozen hired goons had been waiting for them armed with brass knuckles and lead pipes.
The air was biting cold on his naked skin and the grey room was dimly lit by the pallid dawn breaking outside.
He managed to propel his six foot four inch frame from the bed and did a quick survey of their prison.
Terry lay on his back on another cot. He too had been stripped and his perfect young body bore the marks of last nights struggle but his breathing was even and measured and he seemed to be uninjured...merely sleeping.
Next to him on a third bed also naked, Burma lay unconcious.
Pat watched the rise and fall of her pert young breasts and tried to banish carnal thoughts from his mind.
*Get a hold of yourself man!...pay attention...we have to get out of here..where's Reverand Swaine...who...*
He'd walked over to the girl as he struggled with the implications of their predicament and was idly stroking her nipples when the door burst open!
"Ahhhh Professor Ryan. You havn't changed have you?
But it won't do you any good. The child is drugged you see."
Pat leaped up! He'd know that low sultry voice anywhere...
In the doorway, clad in a long black silk gown stood the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen.
Of course! Who else would have engineered all this?
The Dragon Lady smiled and then began to laugh.
OOC...Join Lady Murasaki and I as we recreate the characters of Pat Ryan and Terry, the Dragon Lady, Burma and a host of others bringing back to life the classic cartoon strip...
Terry and the Pirates!
