Robyn sits alone at her computer, wondering how she can weasel herself into the competition. She has after all spent a better part of the last three months doing nothing but homework and theatre stuff. She considers bringing up the rather entertaining (in her NSHO) Int she and Jeff were firing off rapidly during the summer. She stands up, paces the room, downs a corona, returns to the e-mail. She stares at it. Nothing happens. She stands up, does a few jumping jacks, returns to the e-mail willing words to appear. Nothing happens. She drinks another Corona, this one with more lime and sits at the computer. Nothing Happens. Suddenly a knock comes at the door. She jumps, hoping for a naked man. She opens the door. Standing there is an old geezer in a tux. "Hello," he says in a New England accent, "I've come to deliver this." He hands her an envelope and walks away. She opens the envelope to find a Million dollar check. She runs out the door, but no one is there. "Strange," she whispers. She sits in awe at her desk. Then picks up the phone and calls the bank. After a brief conversation she knows the check is good. She looks at the e-mail. Epiphany! She makes a few calls and goes to recline on her bed. The door opens a few minutes later and a muse enters. The muse sits at the keyboard and begins tapping on the keys. Meanwhile, Robyn is figuring out distribution of funds. She begins calling stock brokers. After a few well-placed investments, she's tripled the money. She watches the sun rise. She sets up 500 swiss bank accounts and has the money even distributed among each account. Then she takes her share and re-invests. Two weeks late, she's a multi-millionaire. She distributes 2 million into the 500 accounts. The muse looks expectantly for the sign. Robyn nods and sips at some sherry.

Simultaneously, a telegraph is sent to each of these people. While considering people to vote for STOP Why not consider that adorably sexy young nymphet STOP Robyn who is willing to run for anything. STOP Enjoy the money STOP Don't spend it all in one place. Ha Ha STOP Ha Ha Ha STOP Robyn then sets the muse to work on her shooting script, which has been held up by actor problems. Then she sends an account number to MIT, requesting they buy a super computer just for server space for WRITERS. Yes, no one ever said she would do things ethically. She buys your vote. Robyn for Whatever. Robyn Alyson List Kid 96-98
