'Tis astonishing the lengths Rupert will
- 'Tis astonishing the lengths Rupert will go simply to be nasty.
- Rupert, the illegitimate offspring of an Outback rancher and a striptease dancer felt cheated by life and took it out on others in Barrows Creek 'til they ran him out of town on a
- trumped-up bestiality racket. Sure he did it, but they didn't have to make it sound like *that*. Rupert was down and out. Somewhere between Baton Rouge and Tulsa he happened across
- a dusty accordion. Putting the bestiality rap firmly behind him, Rupert tootled the theme tune of 'Amelie' on the streets of Tulsa drawing crowds of weeping women wherever he went.
- "Tell me," one cried, "can you play the old dusty accordion?" No Rupert said, as he always said. "No, it's not mine. I carry it for old times. And still I must speak in rhymes." A
- pallor crossed poor Rupert's face, as three chords wheezed from the accordion's case. The one who asked if Rupert could play, retreated into the crowd that day. As twilight fell
- Rupert played on, his instrument feebly gasping out each note in the endless stream. The crowd had thinned somewhat, perhaps due to the fact that nobody likes accordion music, but
- one small lizard boy remained: Leif. Fun fact: few lizardfolk like accordion music but Lief was not like most iguanaboys. Leif made Rupert play 6 encores. Afterwards, Leif clawed
- the tables, spilled six Shirley Temples, and ate the flowering table centerpiece. Like most lizardfolk, Leif was not the best customer, but he loved Rupert's accordion recitals the
- atrical as they were. Rupert's innovative music was really out there, you know? Like WAY out there...out on a limb, out there...which is exactly where Leif liked to be.

Rupert (who survived a whole story!) finally found someone who appreciates him: Leif of the lizardfolk.
