A long time ago, Chase went flying without wings with a guy from The Land of the Gray, Home of the Brave, and ended up in a really bad flame-out. We shall call him E-Ways – that name is sufficient enough for TOSStados to remember Chase’s story.It was sometime during the days when the Coffee Club was assisting in her landing that this story was written.This story, of course, is dedicated to Chase.

Nobody knew from whence he came; those who might have known spoke of him very sparingly, and even then, in whispers.Although he was just the palace jester, he had made friends among

Origins is a collection of little bits and pieces written by some members of the Coffee Club as portrayed in the series. Perhaps each piece is a reflection of the state of mind of the TOSStado writing just as it was when it was written.Without compromising on privacy, entries will be updated with personal notes. When necessary, credit will be given to whom it is due.Origins is a behind-the-scenes
