Brian> Need help from Miriam and my own bad self? She knows about sixteen squillion forms of martial arts, she can operate virtually any form of weapon or vehicle, she knows many infiltration, espionage, disguise, retreival, first aid, and emergency surgery techniques, and she and our caterer Shenzi from the other CR make great steak sandwiches, which I often eat with fava beans and a nice chiante. (All that and she was never a Black Raven.) And she's free to travel. Sometimes I think she was in the British Secret Service with Preston Vogel and Alfred Pennyworth (and possibly Owen Burnett). She has the accent for it. Creativity demon approaching...
Lawyer Name> I have a tentative choice: Brennan Robert Vogel, aka Dark Vogel or Anti-Vogel. Preston Vogel's evil twin brother. Made from Green Baron's Brennan and Bob votes and Doug's vote for my own Dark Vogel and GB's aforementioned Bob. If anyone has any more entries, send 'em in!
Well, I'm off. Still need some of FS' Creativity Damien cereal. [Wilek glides out.]

Geez, it's dark in here. I tell you, when I find out where that doggoyle put my car...
Doug & Lisa: Happy anniversary! Hope you guys have many more to come, you make a great couple. Oh, as far as the Black Ravens are concerned, if you guys are ever in the D.C./VA/MD area and need any help, I'm there. I got your backs.

(The stair-climbing bunch appears again. This time Lisa pauses to catch her breath and say the following.)
You got the rules wrong, Doug! It's anything you make up and can all agree to follow, not just anything you make up! Somehow we have to keep our ranks free of tyranny! Oh, and I noticed you left my Mafia friends out of the honorary members list. I know they don't like you because you owe them five bucks and haven't paid them back in over seven months now, but you could at least acknowledge their value to us. Oh what the heck, I'll list their names here:
Honorary BR Members (Mafia): Gino Gambini, Sylvia Gambini, Antonio Gambini, Francesca Gambini, Carlo Gambini, Sofia Gambini, Nina Gambini, Roger Marsh, Mario Bennacuto, and Franco Bashieri.
There, that should keep the family from coming after us for insulting them. BTW, these Mafia people don't exist IRL, they're just more of our fantasy friends, ones we have for flavor. But if they were real, I'm sure they'd be very nice people when they weren't pissed off.
That's all for now. Welcome all who want to join us! Till next time!
(Lisa runs on, catching up to the rest of her friends as the holo fades away.)

(Doug and his friends appear on the monitor, dashing up a very long stairway and kicking bad guy soldier, robot, and scientist bootie the whole way. Doug pauses in his dash to say the following.)
Damn, didn't think that elevator would be one way. Oh well, we probably all need the exercise.
Mandi & Christine: You don't have to run any gauntlets in LA or anywhere else to be one of us. I was just kidding about that! To answer your question about a BR's duties, there really aren't any. We're not any big important paramilitary organization or anything like that, we're just a group of friends who like to hang out together, study together, and kick bad guy bootie together if we end up needing to. But those are only the duties of active members. The people in here, if they joined, would be honorary members, and that's a little different. All honorary members have to do is remain our friends, and they stay in. Also, if we end up desperately in need of your help in some dire situation, we can call you up and ask. Whether or not you come to our assistance is your decision. We probably won't have to activate this thing any time soon. The only real duty an honorary Black Raven has is to remain a friend and influence to us, and for all in here, I'm sure that's no problem. So, yes or no, your lives will continue as normal until the end of the world (if we live that long). When that time comes, we Black Ravens have decided to do something that'll probably be very dangerous but is a noble quest: in the riots and wars that will doubtless break out between humanity at the world's end, we will go to NORAD and all the other nuke-launch sites in Europe, Asia, and America to personally ensure no nukes will be launched at Earth during said riots and wars. We'll launch them all into space, disarm them, I don't know. But somehow we'll manage it. We plan to call up our honorary members for help, of course, but as always the decision to show up or not is yours alone. So, as honorary BRs, you'd not have any duties except to be the friends, advice givers, entertainers, and sympathetic ears to Lisa and me as you've been since we've known you. No real change, just another honor to add to your ego's list. That's all. Does that answer your question?
Coyote: If you, Firestorm, and Lady Mystic (any BR chapter has to include at least one member of each human gender in order to work) want to form a Michigan chapter, great! Good luck doing it. Remember, the only rules for such a group are you have to be friends to each other in every way you can within reason. Other than that, the rules are the same as the rules of Calvinball: Anything you make up goes. But I must warn everyone, if I find out any of you are using the good name of the Ravens to support evil acts such as murder, robbery, rape, genocide, religous or any other kind of intolerance, etc., you will be found and punished! Just a fact, not a threat.
Oh, and just so everyone knows, this Sunday is Lisa and my one-year anniversary. We're going to have a ton of fun on it and in years to come. Just letting y'all know beforehand so you can remember to congratulate us. My ego is now temporarily satisfied.
That's all I have to say now. Hope Todd doesn't get mad about all these non-TGS related posts we're making. When the Rising comes, I know that will change. :)
Bye all.
(The image fades as Doug, huffing and puffing, continues up the endless stairs.)

**Mandi walks in, followed by Angela, Beth Maza, Lisa Davis, and two of her original fic characters. (According to my fanfic to date, they all sing pretty well.) The four of them launch into a great rendition of "Happy Birthday." Mandi keeps her mouth shut so she doesn't spoil it. The song ends, everyone applauds, and the five singers leave. Beth mouths "You owe me" before closing the door behind her.**
Firestorm: Happy 21st birthday!!!! Hope it was a great one! (glancing at the door) I'm afraid to ask what kind of favor Beth's going to call in for this, but oh well. I'm adhering to not plugging my fic characters into my comments--Lisa Davis is canon, but from a different show. Ahh, crossovers... :)
Ravyn: Sure, bring Alex back! From your descriptions, I'd really like to read your fics once they're ready to be posted! (Heck, I had *my* characters stampeding through here on a daily basis...)
Christine: You thought "Future Imperfect" was bad?? I loved it! (Hmm, maybe we are our own worst critics...) And speaking of the Black Ravens, that's a good point. Once one gets in, Doug, what do we actually have to *do*? :)
Coyote: Oh. Hmm. **pulls out a notepad and carefully prints the following message for him when he wakes up:**
I don't think I could have MiSTed "The Innocent Warrior" anyway. I have enough trouble coming up with new riffs for fanfics that aren't very good. Good fanfic is difficult and nearly impossible to MiST. There's some extra strength Tylenol here for you when you wake up.
**Mandi puts the note and the Tylenol bottle next to Coyote's head, then steals one of the throw pillows off the CR couch and carefully puts it under his head. He's got a nasty bump, but thankfully nothing's bleeding.**
Finally a last comment about fanfic--I think I'm starting to have continuity problems in mine, but that's really the only real problem. Also, the less chance you get to watch a show, the harder it becomes to write fanfic for it as time goes on. (Why'd they have to go and take Gargs off USA????)
(checking watch) Uh-oh. Can anyone give me a ride back to my hall so I can get there before they lock the doors at ten? I forgot my key.
**There is a flash of blue light and a crackle of electricity, and Lisa (Davis) teleports in.**
Oh. Never mind. Showoff.
**They both vanish in a crackle of blue light.**

**Coyote runs back in the room, ducking Buick again.**
Mandi, Christine: Yes, we are our own worst critics. The story my name link goes to is the one that I consider the weakest volume of G:CM (I thought it was so weak that I was about to let you MSTie it, Mandi, and I still might.), but it turned out (until most recently) being the one that everybody liked the most!
I do notice that as a lot of cycles go deeper (including mine), the tone tends to get darker. We all keep coming up with newer and more sadistic hells to put our characters through. >:D BWAHH-HAHH-HAHHH!!!
**Coyote receives a quick blow to the head by Cadillac, who is now hitching a ride on the personnel carrier with Buick. Coyote is now out cold on the floor. Please try your best not to step on him, he's sleeping so peacefully ...**

Lisa: Hmm ... joining the Black Ravens on an honorary basis ... maybe me and Fire Storm can form a Michigan division of the Ravens?

Mandi > You're not alone in having that feeling about fanfic! I don't feel that the overall quality of my work is declining, but I do always feel like I can never live up to some stories, like "Kittens" and "The Pure and the Profane" and "Breeding Season" that just worked _so_ well, some of the best writing I have ever done, and thereafter every time I begin a new one, I'm thinking, "ooooh, it's not gonna be as good as those ones." We're all our own worst critics. When I finished "Future Imperfect," I stomped around the house all the next day grousing about it, convinced that it just utterly sucked.
Doug > you've talked about what it takes to _become_ a Black Raven ... what does it mean to _be_ one? Any duties, obligations that we should know about before heading for L.A. to run the gauntlet? ; )

(The image of Lisa appears again, she is still tied down on the table being probed by three giggling mad scientists.)
Firestorm: Happy Birthday!! BTW, if you did the Ravens, you wouldn't be under anyone's control. We happen to be a democracy, and all our active members have equal power. Honorary ones also have profound influence and are automatically upgraded to active status if we end up needing their help and they come to our call. That's just a little rule we have.
Brian: I'm in Area 51-A, not Area 51. This place is even worse, if you ask me. Hope you soon get out of the gov't testing lab. If you knew where you were, we might be able to come pick you up after Doug and the BRs get me out. Where are they, anyway? I'm waiting!
(The lab door suddenly is kicked down by Jim, Boris, and Homer Simpson. The doctors and guards turn to see who's there, but are shot down by Shauna's bow and arrow, Alex's pistol, and Doug's shotgun. Only one doctor remains standing, and he smiles as he pulls out an English longsword. "I am Morton Krugar," he snaps, waving it as he goes into a battle stance. Lisa's sister Stephanie steps forward with katana drawn and replies, "I am Stephanie Telman of the Clan Telman," in a really bad phony Scotch accent. The two Highlander immortals dash at each other and begin a devestating swordfight. In the meantime, Doug and the others free Lisa, accept her thanks, and then they all rush out of the room to get out of Area 51-A. Stephanie gets her next Quickening and then follows them. This Blaise-ism thread is now ended! (I Hope) :) )

(A thin vertical line of light appears in the middle of the comment room , ot expands and behind it is seen Brian in the middle of a large square room , there are thinglass walls , each wall is thirty feet long , Brian is wearing white bed clothing , he looks like he has'nt slept in weeks and he is apparently bleeding from his left ear .)
Hey Folks , apparently there was some fine print on that contract that I signed , these government psychoes are smarter than I would have given them credit for , the fine print not only required a Thousand times magnification to be bearly legible , nut it was also only visible in high intensity Uv rays . Apparently if I do'nt complete the first month of government work qithin the first 1.25 months , I basically lose all rights as a human being and allow any and all forms of experimentation . I swear I did'nt know that there were that many possible performable tests , I've had my bones broken to test my rate of healing , and I mean every bone , as well as tissue samples , Itell you , if you ever see the size of the blasted needle they stuck in my *censored* spinal cord and the blasted *censored* *censored* could'nt wait for my bowel movement , they had to shove a hell of a long tube up my *censored* . Then they moved me to this special cell , the further away I get from the center the hotter I get . Then hen there running all these tests I'm put int this super thick glass ball that If I try to blast myself out of I'll just flash fry myself . I also do'nt know enough spells that are of any use in this situation , just some mild telepathy , yes I sent for help , even told him where he could get a suitable weapon to use in getting me out , but he has'nt shown up yet .
Anyway , enough about my problems .
Lisa :When I find the creativity Demon that caused your plight I swear I'll kill it , and what's it like visiting area 51 again . I ca'nt visit since they tracked the package I sent you back to .......... wait a minute , I wonder if that is what all this is really about . Come to think of it I have absolutely no idea as to where the heck I am , I could have been out for longer than I thought after that first sedation . (hmmmm Morphine) .
Firetorm : Happy 21st compadre , hope its been a happy one . Tip - If you decide to try some tequilla , careful not to swalloe th worm .
Doug : Hurry up an get Lisa out of there . I'd help if I could but ....(Brian extends his hand and pulls it back quickly as his shirt catches on fire , he quickly pulls his arm back and proceeds to clap it out .) Ireally ca'nt be tied down with the ravens at this time give me a few months , but in the mean time , call when you have need of me and I'll be there .
Coyote : Sorry I forgot to complement you on the new story , it was origional , and done quite well .
Lady Mystic : About the mix up , its just that when I read "current" , unless its preceded by a "then" , I think in terms of present tense . And I never though that Doug and Lisa's relationship was quere , just maybe fictional .
Anyway that's all I have to say for now .
(A lift lowers from the roof of the cell onit are two men cloathed in heat resistant clothing , they walk toward Brian and club him over the head with a sand bag . They then proceed to beat him to the brink of death . Then one says to the other .)
You sure this is smart , if he escapes you know what he can do to us .
But we're beating him to ensure that he does'nt escape while we take him to the Director , this way his system will exhaust itself healing him and he'll be too weak to do anything dangerous .
(The 2 men stop , look down at Brian , battered and bleeding on the floor , they then turn off the heat emmanators and drag him unto the lift , it then starts to go up . Unseen to the men , Brian looks at the portal and wnks as he makes an evil blood filled smile .)

**Coyote enters the room in his work clothes, nearly literally dragging his legs on the ground.**
Pardon me ... this is the first Sunday I've had to work.
Fire Storm: Happy B-Day, man. Plannin' on hitting the bars tonight (since you can legally now)? And if you are, can you drag me along, too? I could use a stiff drink (job problems, don't ask.).
Sevarius Jr.: Glad your car's fixed. Hope Buick doesn't mess it up too badly. And yes, if it needs service you can't do yourself, just bring it up our way and Pontiac will have a look for you.
**Coyote hears a car engine, sprinting out of the room as SJ's Olds screams into the room with Buick madly driving behind the wheel. Miraculously, it seems, it's undamaged.**
Hmmm ... maybe he *is* getting better ...

AIRWALKER - Pandora isn't the first gargoyle; there were a number of "regular gargoyles" about already when Brooklyn met her. (It might be just as well, too; if we had seriously gone for the idea that the entire gargoyle race was descended from a single transformed human, think of the impact that it would have on the species when the gargs found out about it. I especially can't help wondering how Demona would take it if it turned out that gargoyles really were a sub-branch of humanity :)
As for whether Pandora will ever return or not - sorry, that information is strictly classified.

**Sevarius Jr. is still bent over the hood of his '78 Olds. He abruptly stands up straight with a handful of wires in his hand. Buick, sitting nearby, looks at him quizzically.**
Ah ha! Got it! Spark plug wires were all burnt out. Ha, I knew that was it all along.
Coyote & Wilek: Thanks for all your help, but I think I got things under control. Coyote, I think I'll take Pontiac up on her offer next time I really screw up this hunk of junk. As for you, Wilek....Legos? Darn, those things are good for everything! I think Miriam needs to change her name to MacGyver.
Fire Storm: HAPPY B-DAY bro. I hope you have a great one. Just be careful of hungry cyborgs.
Doug: I don't know about South Central, but I've been in a few neighborhoods in D.C. that'll make you wet your pants...
Tyger: Yeah, I'm in the VA/DC area. Whereabouts are you? Oh, and I think one of the best places to get info on the Gargoyle Movie is the Avalon Archive. Click on my name to go there.
**SJ fools around under the hood some more, then, satisfied he's fixed the problem, slams it down.**
Alright Buick, start her up!
**The Olds starts immediately, purring like a kitten.**
Alright Buick! Looks like we got her running. Now let's go for a test drive. Move over, let me drive. Buick, move over. Hey, I'm not kidding, move--BUICK! GET BACK HERE! YOU'RE GONNA SCRATCH THE PAINT JOB!!!!

Firestorm - Happy Birthday. Best wishes to you.
I have some questions concerning the TGS Timedancer episode 'Not a Prison Make'.
Is Pandora supposted to be the first Gargoyle, suggesting that Gargoyles were created due to the magic of the fey, or was she just a human being who was transformed for some unrevealed purpose?
Also in this episode, when Medusa hit Brooklyn with her eye blasts with the intent of turning him to stone, why didn't anything happen?
Finally I am curious, will Pandora be appearing in the new season of Timedancer? Will Meyrt be appearing? (A yes or no answer will be good enough for me.)

<Hunter Fire Storm and Bubba appear in the CR, armed with Mr. Carter.
"Hey Fire Storm! We's heard it be yer birthday today! Happy Birthday!"
Hunter Fire Storm aims Mr. Carter at Fire Storm and fires, launching a cream pie at him. The pie grows in size as it approaches Fire Storm, covering his entire body when the pie hits him.
Fire Storm then licks a little off of his face.
"Yum! Coconut! Thanks guys! And good luck hunting!"
Hunter Fire Storm and Bubba walk back into the forest.>
Thanks for remembering my B-Day Hon (Lady Mystic), Ravyn, Doug and Lisa.
Doug: My Dog all mighty is just about as sane as her master. Me. So that has to tell you SOMTHING! <G>
"Look! Down on the lawn!
It's a rabbit!
It's a gnome!
No, it's Sheba!
Yes Sheba! Leaps into tall fences with a single bound.
Can bend her bones in a single hand, and bounce right back, even after hitting a brick wall at top speed!"
Doug: Also, I think I prefer either my modified Defiant class ship or Fireball I for use as a fighter, thankyou very much. Although, my trusty X-Wing does serve it's purpose of a sports jet very well.
As for my flagship, my Outpost-Class Colony/Heavy attack cruiser ship for those long trips with me and my fellow Cybers. We are not welcomed on Earth, so we have to roam the galaxy, with our ship as our only home.
<Fire Storm tries to wipe off as much of the pie as possible, not wanting to stain his jacket.

Hi!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FIRESTORM!!! Have a great one!
Lady Mystic> All right, ya caught me. That was my character Alex as I wrote for him. In real life, I probably wouldn't be able to get the guy he's modeled after anywhere near my computer. Oh well. Does anyone want me to keep bringing him back?
Doug> I would be sincerely honored to be a part of the elite Black Ravens. I don't know how I'd be able to help you or anything, but let me know if you ever need a hand!
Oh, and by the way, once when I was on a club trip to L.A., these really weird friends of mine (one of which Alex Wonder is modeled after! ;) ) dared each other to walk down one of the streets in South Central. They did, and the whole way they kept throwin' the W and shouting "Westside White Boys". Everyone just kinda looked at them funny, some even laughed, but luckily they were not shot at or jumped or anything. So DumlaoX, how much danger were they really in by doing this?
See ya'll later! **Ravyn heads back over to the S8 room, still chuckling at her crazy friends**

Doug: Thanks for telling me about the Lisa & Brian thing. And thanks for the birthday wishes. I'll tell him as soon as I go to bed, which will be very soon. And I knew you were only kidding, why do you think I said that I was just playing along? [Yes, some of my comments still carry cryptic messages in them. Although, that statement (about my just playing along with you and Fire Storm) wasn't cryptic. FYI, the people who know me well enough (we're talking years here) usually know that I am one who has a reason for everything I say and do. And that statement was a small example.] :)

Lady Mystic: I was just kidding around when I said those things about Dog. I know how tough she is. She still doesn't scare me, but I do acknowledge her greatness and power. Even if it does not exist IRL. No, I don't own a cat in real life, they don't allow pets here. But since Firestorm put in a dog, it was only logical for me to bring in a kitty. Please tell him Lisa and I said Happy Birthday.
Also, since she's asleep now and I'm about to be, I'll go ahead and answer your question for her to save my girlfriend the trouble. Brian had read her senior prank post, in which she refferred to her then-boyfriend Jerry Bennet, and somehow got the idea they were still dating and the relationship between me and Lisa was either not real or somehow strange. They cleared things up in e-mail. She's not dating him anymore and how could she be, he's far away at Rice and Lisa's here with me at UT, having relations with me and only me. And we're very happy together. So happy it makes a lot of people smile in delight. Ah, it feels so good to be in love and know she also loves you. :)
Oh well, I'm too tired to say more right now. Talk to you guys in here tomorrow. Whoops, it's already tomorrow. I better get to sleep. Good night.

Doug: Sorry, not to offend in any way, I just had to add to this. <<Besides, your Dog does not scare me. I've mopped the floor with the Three Sisters of Wyrd before (Don't ask), the heavy rubber soles of my shoes protect me from lightning, and from her other powers, well, let's just say I have a more powerful ally. (A loud meow echoes throughout the comment room.) So Dog, you have nothing on Doug! Ha!!>> DOG can still get you. Lightning struck the person NOT the ground, so rubber souled shoes don't matter in this scenario. DOG is all wise and all powerful, and has more power than The Sister of Wyrd. She's had them cower many a time. So there's another thing that nulls out your defense. And DOG in RL wouldn't be beaten by your cat, no matter what size your cat is. Besides, Sheba is a real living animal, I doubt that you own a giant cat. And if you do own a giant cat, maybe you should contact "Ripley's Believe It or Not." :) And if you own a cat IRL, then fine. Anyways, Sheba, IRL, isn't a small dog, nor is she one to be underestimated. She's sweet to all those she knows are VERY close friends to her immediate human family members, but watch out strangers! She's got CLAWS and TEETH. And when I say claws and teeth, I mean CLAWS and TEETH. I still have scars from injuries of 3 years ago. She lives with a cat so don't expect her to be afraid of them. She knows what to expect and what to do. She is also VERY HIGHLY TERRITORIAL. Size of the other animal or object doesn't matter. And she can be VERY vicious when she wants to be. Fire Storm should know! He's the only one that'll stand up to her when she's in her vicious mood. Now I'm not sure what she can stand up against and beat, but I do know that she'll try it even if she she doesn't have a chance at all of winning. So you can't get rid of DOG that easily. While all of this is true, don't get offended, I'm just playing along with yours and Fire Storm's posts. That's all. :)
Speaking of pets, Theresa,what have your cats been up to lately? :)
Lisa: <<Thanks for the info, it's good to know I'm not alone in confusing folks.>> Your welcome. :)
Lisa & Doug: <<Thanks for all the encouragement ... and the relationship info ... the two of you are very fortunate to have each other and hope that one day we'll be at least as close.>> Your welcome, and thanks for the kind words. :)
Lisa & Brian: <<Lisa : You confuse and worry me. ~Brian .... Brian: Okay, thanks for clearing up the name issue. I'm glad we cleared up the high-school as opposed to now boyfriend one. Hope you didn't hurt your head too much when you hit it. ~Lisa>> Out of curiosity, what was the confusion all about? Your conversations in the CR that were obviously continued from e-mail have peaked my interest. Although, I understand if you don't want to answer my question.
Sevarius Jr.: How about "Slightly Deranged, and Occasiounally Mad, Scientist."? That way you can get both in your resume. :)
Ravyn Maza: Out of curiosity, I know that Alex Wonder is modeled after a "person you know" (ahem, ahem, **cough**, you know what I mean), but is he really posting here, or are you playing the part (for fun and fan-fic/blaise-isms)? Do you know what I mean?
DUMLAOX: <<Lady Mystic -- Got your e-mail. Will read it and give you a response ASAP.>> Alright! Thanks for letting me know. That was really nice of you. :)
Hey! Anyone interested in hearing about some new tidbits about "Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village"?! Renovations! IMAX theater! Bigger gift shops! More exibit space! And lots more stuff! YAAAAY!!!!!!!!! :D

Mandi: Yeah, I suppose that survival, in addition to all your other good qualities, makes you an honorary member. Thanks for the entertaining story. And about fanfic, sometimes I feel that way about my work. Then I realize it's not getting worse, I'm just being overly pessimistic and hard on myself again. Right now, my fanfic is going exactly the way I want it. And yours is just as good as always. Don't be so hard on yourself, friend!

**A shimmering portal opens, and through it we can clearly see the hallway of a college dorm through someone's door. There is a long silence. Suddenly, there is a squeal, and four completely smashed young women run down the hall, shrieking "Butch!" and chasing another girl who's carrying an orange traffic cone. Mandi comes into view, watching them go and shaking her head in disbelief. She sighs and steps through the portal, and it closes behind her as she speaks.**
Okay, that was one whopper of a Blaise-ism, I know, but everything except the portal is true-to-life. Believe it or not, my hall has the reputation of the study freaks who never get into trouble. (We just don't get caught.)
Tyger: I'm at college in central MD right now, it's pretty close to DC.
Doug: Does surviving these people daily merit an honorary position? Just kidding. Relatively speaking, it's not too bad here. I almost got one of the members of that stampede into Gargoyles last week, then USA stopped showing it. Darn it all.
Coyote: Absolutely LOVED "Life As Seen From the Fish Bowl." If I'm repeating myself, I'm sorry, but it's almost 2 AM, and I'm a little fuzzy right now. I just read it again tonight and had to comment (or re-comment).
BTW, I wouldn't worry about the Secret Service in the immediate future. Everyone's so busy reading the Starr report to notice right away the limo's missing.
A question to pose for the fic writers in here: Have you ever had the feeling that your fanfics might be getting worse instead of better? I was rereading some of my more recent fics, and comparing them to some old ones, I was thinking, "My God, what was I *on*?" I really doubt it's at that level for anyone else, but I was just wondering.
Good night all. By morn this hall will be Hangover City. (Believe it or not, I'm sober. Really. I swear.)
**The portal opens again in time to reveal the five girls trudging back to their rooms. Just before Mandi steps back through, one of them stops, stares blearily at the portal, and asks: "Did you redecorate your room?" Mandi grins and shakes her head as the portal disappears.**

Man, this is a deep facility. Hope we don't have to walk all the way back up.
Wilek: Glad to have you as a Raven, you're a welcome addition to the team. About Miriam, I'm pretty sure she never was. We would have remembered her. She's a very distinctive kind of gal. Oh well.
Green Baron: No, the Malcolm Forbes I was referring to is not any major celebrity or political figure. He was just Shauna's boyfriend back in high school, and they're currently major E-mail pen pals. He's a very okay guy.
Name for the Lawyer: I vote Dark Vogel, it's the best I've seen so far. Bob would also be good for him. I don't want anybody getting him confused with Mace Malone or the crooked descendants of his I have in my fanfiction.
Ordell: I would also recommend you read "Seduction" if you're going to read the main eps of Dark Ages. That one covers the beginning of the relationship between Demona and the Archmage.
DumlaoX: I didn't know you lived in South Central! That's cool. Is it really as dangerous a place as I've heard it is?

::Tyger crawls out of his cardboard box and shows his fangs, daring foolish mortals to attack him. He growls::
Ordell - >>hey, can someone help me(authority or otherwise) on which Pendragon stories are the most important to the series to get the main story arch. Basically which ones aren't just filler episodes, because I don't want to read them all (no time) but I want to get the story. If anyone can do the same for Dark Ages also, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.<< I know you posted this down a ways but incase you haven't gotten anything for Dark Ages:
Links to the Past - Opener
A Guards Story - Desdemona and Othello beginnings
Prince of Theives - Roland, Roland, Roland
Coming of Age - Goliath's rookery
Alliances - big story
Perspectives - closer, finale
Although, so much of what DA's is about is the little stuff here and there in every episode. I'd advise reading them all in order, and take as long as you need! It's worth it.
Is anyone else here from VA or the DC area?
I thought I heard something about a Gargoyles movie a few months ago. Is it just me or does anyone else know about this?

In the USA poll, Dr. Katz is currently ahead of Batman. I find this rather amusing, since Gargoyles can beat Dr. Katz more easily than Batman.
That was my announcemnet. I know it's nothing special.
Wilek> Actually, Ross Perot and Geoffrey Fieger are both battling for World Domination. Ross Perot is the secret identity of Mr. Duvall, and Geoffrey Fieger is merely a rebellious lieutenant of Duvall battling for control of teh Illuminati. Fieger's negative comments about the Pope and Jesus will probably hurt him. Now, he just needs to say something negative about Muslims to really upset his plot for World Domination, which leaves Ross Perot in charge. Scary, isn't it?

Is that what all that debris is in the CR courtyard? When the !@#$% did Miriam get an SD?! Wait...that would explain the rather large bill the TGS CR lawyer made me leave for you in the other CR. Oh boy. I've always suspected him of working for the Empire. Him and Geoffrey Fieger. Those snotheads. In fact, I'll bet the TGS CR lawyer is in on the conspiracy that got Gargoyles taken off USA. We need a name for the Lawyer. I'll make it a contest. My entries: Mephistopheles, Dark Vogel, and Malone. Anyone else like to contribute? BTW, I rather wouldn't mind being a Black Raven. I meet all the requirements, I think. Oh, and my dad used to be a gargoyle historian, and he collected all kinds of spellbooks and magical artifacts which Miriam and I are learning to use. And I'm a great singer. Dad also had a beak. Wish I had a beak. Oh well. And, BTW, if you accept me, you can use me in your Blaisisms. And good luck getting Lisa back. You know, Miriam once made an offhand remark about having been at an Area 51-A at some point in her life. At the time, I'd never heard of the place...

(Doug's holo appears, he is currently on an elevator with all the Black Ravens and Simpsons, heading deep down to the lowest level of Area 51-A.)
Okay, we have broken in, taken care of a lot of dangerous soldiers and various staff members, and are now heading to where we think Lisa is being held. We'll be there soon. Wish us luck! I just came in to answer Wilek's last posting.
Wilek: I don't think Miriam would be willing to help us. She's probably really mad at me for blowing up her Star Destroyer and insulting her several times in the other CR. We would appreciate her skill, but no thank you. Also, to answer your suspicion, she can't be a former Black Raven. Not unless she joined under a different name and possibly faked her death. We've lost a few members in our time, mostly honorary ones. Here is a current roster of all our various members, active and honorary, as well as I can remember it. (It ain't written down anyplace but our heads.)
Active Black Ravens: Doug Elder, Lisa Telman, Stephanie Telman, Keith Wang-Matthews, Jim Murdoch, Ben Shapiro, Alex Cleary, Tricia Messina, Shauna Lockdale, Mist the Cat.
Passive Members (they don't do stuff with us as much as they used to, but they are still members): Boris Richardson, Tim Stevens, David Rice, Jennifer Robeson, Brian B. Havilland, Ada Chien.
Honorary Members (deceased): Sylvester "Snake" McTaggart, Leander Miller, Ted Bowers, Sam Jones, Yuri Richardson, Laura Farmer, Micheal Carmicheal (yes, Jim really did know a guy with this name!).
Honorary Members (still alive and we know them, but they're not living in the Austin area so they don't hang with us much): Fletcher Lathrop, Matthew Kennedy, Kenny Kaspar, Ellie Ranney, Faith Rosen, Katie Obermaier, Ray Telman, Frank Telman, Candace Telman, Enzo Masi, Sarah Elder, Kristen Wallace, Laurie Wallace, Colleen Buckley, Shannon Buckley, Alexander Smith, Mary Smith, Linda Masi, Lloyd C. Smith (Sr. and Jr.), Martha Smith (Sr. and Jr.), Jimmy Simone, Jonathan Simone, Robby Simone, Travis Lathrop, Ruth Lathrop, Maria Lathrop, Traci Smith, Darryl, Danny (my Aunt Mary and Traci's boyfriends, I've forgotten their last names), Charles McTaggart, Anne Kelso, Faeline Baiul, Ralph Chen, Rick Samson, Suzy Moore, Jed "Jeeper" Cooper, Al Morris, Dave Stern, Craig Bruno, Joe Thomas, Albert Haas, Orion Gaist, Beren Sanders, Orion Sanders, Kelly Nichols, Candice Van Heerden, Leslie Tyndall, Randy Tyndall, Jerry Bennet, Tom Wilson, Travis Cook, Kim Ware, Marco Masi, Ben Broussard, Warren Webster, Tony Mock, Shannon Evans, Mi-Chaun Soma, Leo Tam, Stephen Kuo, Jerry Wang, Kristyn Matthews, Alvin Murdoch, Sara Murdoch, M. A. Cleary, Micheal Lockdale, Camille Lockdale, Donald Lockdale, Malcolm Forbes, Moira Cleary, Kristen Crawford, Jimbo Thomas, Terry Ireland, Garret Rakover, Wouter Staal, Pauline Staal, Adina Pearson, Mike Damplo, George Eskue, John Nelson, Mary Gagne, John Conway, John Yearwood, William B. Davis, Veronica Cat, Rebel Dog, Jesus Christ, Micheal Archangelo and many other people and animals whose names I cannot remember but who very profoundly influenced all our lives and would gladly be there to help us if trouble came our way.
Honorary Members (Fictional): All the good guys on the TV Shows Gargoyles, Simpsons, Spiderman, Batman: TAS, X-Files, Buffy: TVS, Ally McBeal; and the good guys in Coyote's, Christine Morgan's, and my own fanfic; plus Nick Holloway (the movie Memiors of an Invisible Man), Bill and Ted, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewie, Princess Leia, Artoo and Threepio, Indiana Jones, Jack Ryan, John Clark, Domingo Chavez, Catherine Ryan, Rand al'Thor, Perrin Aybara, Faile Aybara, Mat Cauthon, Juliun Sandar, Thom Merrilin, Garfield Cat, Odie Dog, Jon Arbuckle, the KODT players, and many more whose names I can't remember but are all great fictional good guys.
Honorary Members (who are posters in this CR): Everyone who wants to be in and can pass the following test: Walk into South Central Los Angeles at sunset, walk from one end to the other, and come out at dawn still alive and able to use all your limbs. Have at least three witnesses who did it with you or saw you come out and go in.
Just kidding!! Actually, the only requirements for being a Black Raven are that you have to be a good understanding open-minded person, fight on the side of good in life, want it, be voted in by at least half the current active members, and be tough in some way. All but the wanting requirement I know apply to the people in this Comment Room. You guys have all been great Net-pals, we'd be honored to have you as honorary members! What do you say? (and no, even if you say yes, it doesn't give me license to use you in our Blaise-isms or call you up if we need your help and it's not life-threatening but we're just being annoying anyhow, don't worry.) And Wilek, I'm sure Miriam can't be a former member. We've had members who've died or gone passive on us, but never one who's quit. If she wants to join right now as an honorary and surpise us all, great! If not, we'll just shrug and let our life continue as it has. Whatever y'all decide, you guys stay cool, okay?

Coyote The Bando> That spell you cast on me...it's cast during WCC, right? And my fictional counterpart will probably be killed (as I requested), so he will return to his universe with no conscious memory of the spell being cast. But the spell will still be in effect, so one day he'll change into a human and not know why, making for an excellent fanfic plot. And the spell carries over to the real version of me (namely me), so I can post during the day. This is getting better and better...
SJ> Miriam once told me that she repaired a totaled Yugo with a paper clip and a box of Legos. Would you like her help?
Doug> Miriam also has experience with infiltration and espionage; think she can help you guys? (Sometimes I suspect her of being a former Black Raven, but she vehemently denies it. A little too vehemently, in fact.)
WCC Alternate Mates> Has anyone ever watched the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Parallels"? The characters' alternate-fanfic-reality mates would recognize them, but the characters wouldn't recognize most of the mates. Even more hilarious, IMO.

All done, Ravyn. She put on new quarter panels, fixed the tires, and even got rid of that annoying gasp in the air conditioner. Let's just try to keep Buick away from it, now.
Todd: Actually, you would be surprised to know that I have more mates of *Lexington* recruited for WCC, including one that I created (Pontiac) ... actually now that I think of it, Brooklyn and Lex are about even (Brooklyn has Amy K. Cyrway's Ariana McLachlan and Sata, Lexington has Jen De Salme's Chimura and the aforementioned Pontiac). But when anyone submitted a char. that was a mate of any of the Trio, I made sure to ask the creator how they would react around the alternate mates. And even some I asked about how they would react to other similar char's ... for example, if Ravyn would be jealous of Rosanna if Alex Wonder took a shine to her, since they're both daughters of Elisa and Goliath. (I don't really want to see *that* scene ... ;))
Sevarius Jr.: Thanks for the compliment on "Life as Seen From the Fish Bowl." And BTW, would you like some help on that Olds of yours? Pontiac here has ASE certification as a mechanic, she'd be happy to help, right? **whispered discussion between Coyote and Pontiac beyond anyone's range of hearing.** Yeah, she said that she'd help if you need it.
That's all for now, folks!

@#$%ing car! Dammit! Outta go back to @#$%ing horse and buggey, at least you could shoot the horse and eat it!
Hey Buick!
**Everyone's favorite doggoyle trots over to SJ.**
Hey, can you hand me that screwdriver over there? No, that's a socket wrench. It's right there...no those are pliers...wait, you just passed it. There! Bring it to me. **Buick complies, fetching the screwdriver.** Ewwww, doggoyle slobber. Anyway folks, in case you haven't figure it out, I'm having major car problems. I gotta figure out what's wrong with it this weekend,or it's the bus for me on Monday.
Just wanted to congratulate Coyote on another piece of literary genius. Personally, this is my favorite episode of Clan Manhattan yet. Seeing through Samson's eyes was a really good dramatic touch. It showed just the kind of conflicts he's going through, being a prisoner in his own body. All I can say is, that issue made me wanna mutate Demona into something very, very nasty. Geez, why can't fixin' cars be as easy as separating dioxyribonucleic acid strainds?
Ah! I think I figure out the problem. Looks like the choke...**SJ fiddles around with the screwdriver** Hmm...Let's see if that fixed it. Buick, gun the engine!
**Buick happily complies. The motor suddenly erupts in flames, leaving SJ with a face full of soot.** *Cough* I guess it wasn't the choke. Well, Buick, I guess we got one long weekend ahead of us...

Okay, we are now formulating a plan of attack. That facility will be breached and Lisa will be rescued. Very soon. So don't worry, everyone!
Todd: Actually, I hope that does happen to Brooklyn in WCC. The scene you describe would be hilarious! I know the ones Merlin and the other person you mentioned did were. Maybe it'll happen to Lex and Broadway, too. That would be even funnier. Whatever happens, though, I'm sure Coyote will somehow get things sorted out between them all in time for them to all kick Rokkan bootie. And if not, a lot of jealous love interests might be switching sides.
Ordell: Well, there are plenty of sites on the web that have synopses and/or scripts of the original eps posted. Avalon Archive and GFW are the best places to look. I don't know about any legal barriers to writing the eps in story format, but I do have a feeling Disney wouldn't like it.

hey, just an idea: it came to my attention a while back that some people (well, two that I know of) have only seen a few episodes of Gargoyles, and well, if you haven't seen pretty much all the episodes, you don't really get any of the fanfics or TGS stories. Has anyone out there ever thought of taking the actual episodes and converting them into a story format? Sounds like a good idea to me, but there might be legal precations to it that I'm not aware of. Later people......

You know, there's one thing about "When Clans Collide" that worries me. The "love interest" factor. Just think of all the mates that different fanfic authors have arranged for Brooklyn - Carbonear, Avery, and TGS's own Sata, to name a few (not to mention Angela in Christine Morgan's work). So what happens when they all show up in the same universe? Let's hope that Brooklyn doesn't suddenly find himself being accused of being a two-timing polygamist :)
(Christi Smith Hayden once did a particularly funny ficbit in the regular comment room about just such an incident happening, with all the "alternate mates" approaching Brooklyn grimly, Avery twirling her lasso. Merlin Missy then followed it up with another funny ficbit in which Puck is having a great time watching Brooklyn's trouble, when suddenly HE finds himself confronted with all of Owen/Puck's various fanfic love interests).

To answer a few questions here and there...
WEBSITE 2.0-- Ok, I think I know what's being said now. I'll try and place up a demo version of the site and see if this is what you're talking about.
Happy Belated B-days to those that had them. Sorry I didn't say them in time.
Belated welcomes to the newcomers in the TGS comment room. Enjoy your stay and post often.
COMMENT ROOM-- Actually, before the big S8 crash, the comment room did have a link to check out all the comment room pics. After the crash, however, Gorebash forgot to place a link up there again. But now that his code for the comment room is up at his site (hit my name to get there), I'm gonna try and figure out the code so I can have this thing running on the TGS site and, in turn, fix the pic problems, update them if necessary, and do that link for all the pics.
BTW, I decided to resize only a few of the pics in here. Some are sized just right but there are a few in here that are just too darn big.
THE WEISMAN FACTOR-- What we did for TGS season 1 is use Mr. Weisman's master plan to draw up what series we should be working on and what it would be about. That's all. In fact, except for the concept of doing the series at all, almost every one of the story plots, ideas, and arcs came from the minds of the staffers. Season 2 simply continues our plans that we set up in season 1. Mr. Weisman has no involvement in either season 2 or in our project in general.

So USA has taken gargs off eh? *sigh* it figures. just when I get to where I can tape the episodes. Well, does anyone know when or if gargs are going to be on another channel? if so, what time? and in the meantime, i think we should find out just how useful those quarrymen hammers are by shoving one up the rear of the execs at USA *grin*
Is there any way you can view what the pics in the CR look like? Or do I have to start picking one at random each post to find one I like?

**Coyote enters the room, looking all around.**
Ravyn: I'll be sure to reprimand Buick severely for stealing your car. (BTW, Alex, nice to hear from ya, bud.)
Wilek: Consider it done. In a few days, when the sun rises, you should be turning human. I'm leaving a memo in Alex's office right now for you. And thanks for the compliments on Alex's incantation. I've written another one for him for a previous story. If you follow my name link below, it takes you to Volume #7 of my cycle, where he turns an alien into a gargoyle. Fun stuff!
**The whole room shakes, as the giant white gargess Liberty ducks her head as she enters the room, holding Buick by the scruff of his neck.**
There you are! What have you got to say for yourself?!
**Buick growls and moans sadly.**
I thought so. I swear, if you even scratched that poor woman's car ...
**Coyote looks out the door of the CR to see Ravyn's car, missing two quarter-panels and with three flat tires.**
ARRGHHH!! Geez, Ravyn, I sincerely apologize about your car. I'll get Pontiac working on it right away.

Uh, Static-Pulse: I don't know who you rescued, but it wasn't Lisa. She's in Area 51-A, which is different from Area 51. We know because we've had to hire these high-priced guides to get there. The girl's apparently found the place before. (Lisa Simpson smiles at the camera.) Thanks anyhow, I'm sure that gal is grateful. We'll accomplish this rescue mission ourselves.

I especially can't wait until me & Ravyn stop by your place for WCC. I'm lookin' forward to it! **Alex flashes his handsome smile and waves sweetly at Rosanna** Hi, Rose! Nice seein' you around here.

WWWWWWHHHHHHAAAAAATTTTTT??????!!!!!! No more Gargoyles on USA??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [Wilek roars in fear, horror, and rage for thirty full seconds.] I don't get Toon Disney! Of course, since the eps came on during the day I couldn't watch them, but Miriam had the VCR programmed, but there are episodes we still haven't gotten. AAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!! Who the bleep do those bleepin' bleepheads at USA think they're fooling with? What are they smoking and shooting up and drinking and snorting and I don't want to know what else? It cant be FS' cereal; the creativity Damiens would never be responsible for the cancellation of Gargoyles. They're not *that* psychotic. Gargoyles *won* the poll, for Oberon's sake! At least this round! OK, I know that USA Networks and USA Today are totally different organizations, but *still*...to be moved virtually simultaneously to a victory in the polls...I smell foul doings. A conspiracy at the very highest levels of world power, involving the Illuminati, the Project (the conspiracy from The X-Files) and Geoffrey Fieger. I can imagine that idiot telling USA Networks that Gargoyles fans are fat and slightly effeminate. DIE FIEGER DIE!!!!
Coyote and Rosanna> Mind having Alex make the spell temporally retroactive, so it begins taking place a few days from now? BTW, the spell you have Alex casting at the recruitment page: A masterpiece of mystic poetry. I'm archiving it permanently on my hard disk. BTW, will my pic have a URL address to link to, so I can link my name to it in my posts? I think we'd all like that. And I don't mind waiting for it at all. Thank you ever so much for all of this that you're doing. It's very incredible.
[Wilek jumps out of the way just in time to avoid becoming a bloody stain courtesy of Buick's steamroller.] It's weird--Buick's an absolutely ghastly driver but an excellent pilot; you should have seen him in that E-Wing.

**Ravyn comes in, a little pale**
Sevarius Jr.> Ugh. I think I'm scarred for life after reading that Starr report. *shudder* So how've you been?
I really like the animation in all of "Hunter's Moon". Of course, the kiss scene was the best gargoyles scene ever, but I just can't get over that two-second scene where Demona has just walked into the church, and the Hunters fly their airship right through the wall behind her. That was amazing! And the kiss, the first time I saw it, I was completely shocked. Then I smiled, hit 'rewind', and watched it over and over. It's such a sweet moment!
No more Gargoyles on USA?!? PANIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Disney is a bunch of wimps, man. Skipping over "Deadly Force." In my opinion, that was one of the best cartoon episodes I've ever seen. What, was it because it had blood in it and they're too afraid to show blood on Disney? I DARE Disney to show blood! HA-HA-HA!!!!!

**Coyote jogs into the room, trying to get his circulation going.**
Hope you don't mind if I jog in place ... my feet need the blood.
First off: thanks to the folks who have read my new fic. I thought it would be interesting to try writing gargfic from the 2nd person. Obviously, I succeeded. Thank you for the compliments.
Wilek: I'm a bit backed up, but if you're willing to wait for it, I will have your pic ready for you. You and Miriam will be added to the WCC recruit list on my next update (and yes, I'm taking humans. Ask some other people, I've included dragons, fae, humans, human cyborgs, one automobile and one motorcycle.).
Doug: Have to look through my mailbox again ... getting harder to keep track of the recruits, and they keep coming in! **Rosanna taps her foot in the doorway.** Oh yeah, I asked for it my own self, didn't I? **She nods, coming forth again to speak.**
Wilek: The transformations are a little bit painful. I think when Puck gave Demona the spell, he kind of added the pain factor because she really didn't treat him too well (as if turning human wasn't enough torture for her!). I asked Alex about it, and he'll be willing to cast the spell on you when you come over during WCC. Just be sure to remind him. (And he promised me that he knows better how to cast the spell than he did when he put it on me. **drops her tail out of her pants** As you can see, he wasn't too great at it when he gave it to me, but I still appreciate the gift.)
**Rosanna leaves again. Coyote returns.**
Hope that answers your questions about magical means. To tell the truth, there are times Rosanna doesn't even feel anything when the transformation occurs. But I can only add that Alex had better be the one who casts it on you. In my fic cycle, Demona cast the spell on Angela and it causes her excruciating pain when she transforms (although I'm sure that you know well enough to stay clear of Demona.).
**Coyote jogs out of the room, opening the door to reveal Buick sitting there, waiting for him.**
And where did you get *that* monster?!
**The door opens wider to reveal Buick is driving ... a steamroller.**

Bill! Dear God man, what have you done! A cigar? YOU FREAK! Ugh, I didn't need to read that...
Anyway, glad to hear that Gargoyles won the poll...of course, this bit of good news is followed by the fact that, apperently, USA thinks "America's Funniest Home Videos" is better entertainment. Bob Saget is the spawn of Satan.
I also encourage all of you to vote for Batman over Dr. Katz in the USA poll. With, of course, the exception of Gargoyles, Batman is the best toon of this entire decade, in overall art and story.

Wilek: I thought SJ was a mad scientist, he's said so enough times. Was I wrong, SJ?
Firestorm: I don't eat a cow a day, nor do I have electric eel power. The way I get my energy for gliding is that my fatigue slowly lessens as my energy renews itself along with my wounds. Part of my Healing Factor. I don't age at a slower rate like Wolverine does, but I do heal as fast and thanks to the energy recovery processes built into it, I can glide, have great endurance, and need less sleep. Thanks so much for all the great laughs in your last post. Good luck with that interview (or bad if you want it instead).
Just had to clear up these issues, I'm off to class now. Later!

Sorry about the story. When I checked it in Netscape, I forgot to change my font from 'overide document specified font' to 'use document font'. I hadn't realized that I had set the font to Courier #9.
Sorry. Lady Mystic complained about the same thing. It should be fixed now. My link has the revised edition.
About using your characters in your posts: It's fine. Your own fan-fic characters are fine when used in Blaise-isms. But just don't devote an entire post to discussing your fan-fic characters and stories.
Sevarius removing the Gargoyles stone sleep: Well, if you want to glide, he would probably have to mix some electric eel in, like he did with the mutates.
Or you would have to eat a cow every day. You choose.

Miriam and Sevarius Jr.> I *would* appreciate being able to do things during the day...but somehow I doubt I would want Dad tinkering with my genome. He's kewl in some ways, but he's not my first choice of medical personnel to do any monkeying about under my hood. BTW, SJ, ultraviolet light has nothing to do with our sleep/wake cycle. It's circadian, like the human cycle, but the garg cycle is much more closely keyed to the sense of vision, so we change pretty much as soon as we percieve an increase in sunlight. It works differently in an environment devoid of day-night cycles, i.e. deep space; we stay awake for a long while, then settle into a roughly even cycle disconnected from vision. It resets instantly upon return to a day/night cyclic environment. See TGS Timedancer "Games Without Frontiers". Just thought Dad might want to know.
Anyhow, perhaps Rosanna's metamorphosis spell is the thing for me. You say my gargoyle form would heal instantly at sunrise, as it does now, and my human form would heal instantly at sunset? I like it very much...but I would have much less need for Miriam. I like Miriam. Oh well, it's not like I would fire her just because I could do a few more things for myself. The house, finances, ISP account, etc are still in her name. I could give her a lot more time off. She certainly deserves it. Just one problem, though--when Puck gave Demona a similar gift, the transformation involved intense pain. Is this the case with you? If not, tell Alex X. that my birthday is in a few weeks. (And how do you know it isn't?)

(A new image appears on the monitor. Doug, Jim, Keith, Shap, Alex, Tricia, Shauna, and Stephanie are clustered around a card table with Alex's cat Mist asleep in the center, planning what looks like a commando raid on the apartment above Doug's. Doug turns from the planning to make the following post.)
Okay, it has been confirmed. It is Thailog up there. What he's doing there, we do not know, but we are going to find out. And, if necessary, deal with him. Just as soon as Lisa gets back and we can attack at full strength.
SJ: I fully support genetic engineering if it's used for disease-curing or organ-regrowth purposes or gene therapy. It's the playing God aspect I don't like and never would subject myself or anyone I care about if I had the choice. I definitely have serious issues about people building their own children out of gene manipulation. I prefer to let the sperm and egg DNA chromosomes assemble randomly, trust God and whatever other powers watch over the making of children, and take what I get. Lisa prefers the same. We both definitely support your opinion that the more we learn about genetics, the more we should control its use. I guess I should also tell you that's a heck of a weird thing to hear from a mad scientist. Guess you're a little unorthodox. :)
Coyote: Good job on Part 16. You really got into Samson's character there, and did a fine job of it. Demona is going to be in big trouble when the spell comes off! Oh, one thing I should tell you. I read your updated WCC list, and noticed the two new ones I gave you aren't on there yet. Maybe they are now, I need to check. Also, like I've said before, "After the Flood" and "Choices," the stories in which the characters I gave you appear, are both now up on GFW's archive. I recommend (even though I know I don't need to) you read them both before you write my characters, so as to get a feel for them all. Especially that sick psychotic human-hater Ashe. And if you think you need to know more about the characters than the stories and what I've told you already, feel free to ask me in an e-mail. Best of luck with WCC!
My reaction to The Kiss when I first saw it: I was suprised by it at first, but then I was overjoyed and swept off my feet by the enormity of Elisa and Goliath's love for one another. I still smile happily whenever I watch that scene, it was just so great! The only other person in the room at the time when I first saw it was my little sister Sarah, who is not a Gargoyles fan and had just walked in to see what I was watching. Her reaction was, and I quote- "Ooh, gross! I can't believe she just kissed a gargoyle!" Guess she needs to watch more of the show before she can understand the feelings behind the kiss. Next time I see her, we will talk about it.
Okay, that's all for now. We have an operation to plan. I'll call Lisa and get her down here. (Doug takes out his cell phone and calls Lisa's. A strange voice answers. "Hello?" "Who is this?" Doug instantly asks. "Dr. Morten Krugar, St. David's Hospital. Is this the next-of-kin of a Lisa S. Tel..." Doug clicks off the phone and curses heavily for several minutes. Then he turns to the other Ravens and says, "Thailog will have to wait, guys. We got a situation at St. David's. Lisa's in there and we have to get her out before they cart her off for study in some lab or something. Black Ravens Assemble!! Code Bright Hot Pulsating Blood Red!!" The Ravens all nod, and Shap and Shauna advise Doug to calm down. Keith then gets out their map of St. David's and they begin planning their new commando raid mission as the holo fades away. This creativity demon will be continued next post!)

(Lisa and Buick appear on the monitor. They are speeding down an Austin freeway, dodging not-as-crazy drivers every second.)
Coyote: Good story. It was great to get inside Samson's mind and know the spell hasn't totally subverted his will. I'd hate to be in Demona's shoes when it wears off fully. She's going to get beat up major! And about Buick, I do not know where I got the courage to do what we're doing now. He hasn't damaged my bike (thank God!), but this is the wildest ride I've ever been on. I really wish he'd slow down!
Brian: Okay, thanks for clearing up the name issue. I'm glad we cleared up the high-school as opposed to now boyfriend one. Hope you didn't hurt your head too much when you hit it. Oh, and by the way, your plight in the hospital has given Doug and me another unstoppable creativity demon we will now begin to unleash on this CR in our Blaise-isms. Be prepared, everyone!! And yeah, the animation in Hunter's Moon and The Kiss was the best. I was yelling "You go, girl" and "Woo hoo!!" as loud as I could when I first saw that scene, as was Stephanie. Ray dropped his jaw, and my parents just shrugged, smiled at each other and scrunched closer together on the couch so they could hug. The emotion of the moment overcame us all in different ways, I guess. Hope Goliath and Elisa's relationship continues to blossom in TGS!
SJ: No offense taken about the maniacal laughter. That's just the way your dad is. I'm just glad he helped me out like he did.
Now on to the creativity demon.
(Lisa turns to Buick, unwraps her arms from his waist, and yells, "That is it! Slow down and get off the bike now!" Buick slows down for the barest of instants so he can leap off the bike and run away. Lisa, left alone on the still moving cycle, screams a loud string of curse words, and grabs for the handlebars just as the cycle blows through the freeway guardrail and falls into Town Lake below. The image shifts to her bike sinking under the lake's surface and Lisa's unconscious form on the lakeshore, bruised and bleeding heavily from many wounds. The sound of an ambulance siren is heard as one pulls up to her and some paramedics rush out. "Who, er, what is this?" one says upon seeing her. "Never mind," says another, shaking her head. "Let's get her to St. David's, pronto!" The three then hustle Lisa's body onto a stretcher, put her in the ambulance, and it goes speeding away. Uh oh, what's in store for her now?)

**Sevarius Jr. runs into the comment room. Pursuing him is a dozen different creativity demons. They back SJ into a corner**
Whoa! Get back! You hear me! I saw the Exorcist like, 20 times! Don't make me get medieval on your asses!
**All of a sudden, a familiar Skylark speeds into view, and in a graphic scene of death and carnage, runs over the demons. Buick stops the car and casually flicks the windshield wipers to get rid of the demon goo stuck to the glass.**
Whew! Thanks Buick, I owe you big time.
Doug: I think genetics can be a very useful science in the years to come. Hopefully, we'll be able to discover the cure for diseases. Or maybe transplants will become less difficult, seeing as we might be able to simply clone the organs that need replacing. And doctors are finding wonderful uses for gene therapy. Of course, there are those people who want to play god (like my pop). I heard that recently here in Virginia, some doctors discovered a way in which to alter the sex of a fetus--If you want a boy, you get a boy, if you want a girl, you get a girl. Personally, I think that's just way to damn freaky. Let nature do its thing. I think that the more we use genetics, the more closely it should be regulated.
Of course, my dad did help Lisa out...sorry about the manaical laughter Lisa. He does that a lot. God, I wish I could get through just one dinner...("Pass the mashed potatoes pop." "Bwah hah ha ha ha ha ha!" "Dad? What's so funny?" "Honestly? I don't know.") And please, don't EVEN mention the Rocky Horror Picture show. I don't wanna have to go bail him out of jail on indecent exposure charges for prancing in his undies again...
**SJ turns back to the Skylark. Buick is revving the engine behind the wheel.**
Say Buick, I owe you one. How about I buy you a Scooby Snack?
**Buick barks an affirmative, so SJ climbs into the passenger seat. "Say, where's the seatbe----WHOAAAAAAAAA!" he yells as Buick peels out of the comment room**

(A thin line of light appears in the comment room , it then splits aside and Brian is seen behind it . He is strapped down to a hosital bed with severalmechanical arms folded against the beds underside , he has 2 arms in casts as well as one leg . He is in a fairly large room , the walls of which are comprised of 6inch think high impact polymer . )
Well folks , that bull laid me up pretty bad , but the government reimolanted my creativity demons , do'nt ask me how , they thought that the one that gave me teleport ability was the one that I asked to be given to wavelength , my spines fine by the way , it was just some grit on the lens along with a mild injury that made it seem that way . I'll be out of here in no time flat , well as long as it takes me to mend together , which still is'nt too much . Then I'll just head through the portal and that's that .
Lisa : My real name is Brian , my Father applied for the E-mail , so so they used his name . And thanks for clearing that issue up , I felt like beating my head against the wall a few times , but I only did it once .
Firestorm : The man is right I had to put the fonts up to maximum to be able to read that story , and I still have'nt because I want to read the other two first . Speaking of which : WHERE CAN I FIND THEM .
Dylan : Happy Belated .
Void : Yeah we are pretty high traffic these days , makes it difficult sometimes but still quite enjoyable , (You trying catching up on 2 weeks of this stuff .) And it does get pretty fun in here , this is where the not so right aspects of our imaginations often display themselves . That fact goes a long way in scaring me .
Mandi : Boy have I got an unpleaant "Wisdom Tooth Story" for you . But I'll wait until after the extraction . Mine are coming up now too by he way , and I'm just 16 well 17 in December .
I really did'nt think that the type of animation shown last night was the best one , I think that the best animation was in hunters moon , especiall that last seen when Ellisa kissed Goliath (place wolf calls and whistles here) .

Lisa:
a) I apologize for Buick's fickleness, and if he abandoned you anyplace dangerous.
b) Thanks for the compliments. They didn't fully sink in until just now. Hmmm ... y'know, most of the theoretical psi powers in my family were supposed to be borne by the women, not the men. Maybe I'm a first! ;)
But seriously, thanks for the complments.

(Doug and Keith appear on the projection screen. They are watching the apartment above Doug's with binoculars and a video camera, this time the lens cap is off.)
Okay, we saw the gargoyle awaken and go inside an hour ago. We know it's up there now, and we can prove it. Downstairs in my apartment, Alex is working to identify it with a Polaroid photo, see if it's anybody we know. All we know now was that it was a big dark-skinned male, who did look a little familiar. We couldn't place him, though. Maybe Alex will be able to. Here's what I have to say now.
Coyote: I too am eagerly waiting for the next chapter of Clan Manhattan. I'll read it as soon as I'm through typing this post.
Mandi: I agree about Molly, guess you thought out the situation more than I did. Your idea sounds more plausible than mine does. Thanks for mentioning it.
Lady Mystic: Thanks for the relationship info. I echo Lisa's sentiments that the two of you are very fortunate to have each other and hope that one day we'll be at least as close. Hope the two of you remain together for the very long time that is your lives. I'm looking forward to seeing what you mean about people growing close. :)
Miriam: Not having much knowledge of genetics myself beyond what I've heard about in sci-fi, I can't give you much advice on the subject. But please tell Wilek to be careful. God only knows what Sevarius would do to him if he went under the knife. I'm very paranoid about genetics myself, I don't like clones and mutants and all that playing god stuff very much. Maybe it's just that I've seen Gattaca and read Brave New World once too many. Lisa had to go in for her mutation without telling me until it was too late for me to do anything about it. At first, I was really upset, but soon enough I calmed down, since she was still my girlfriend and had gotten even tougher and more beautiful (IMO). I love her all the more the way she is now (and the way she is IRL, of course). No problems we haven't been able to handle have resulted from the mutation so far, but still, it never hurts to be catious. We have had to deal with a lot of gangs, angry religious psychopaths, and Quarryjerks since then, and there's always that clone of Lisa Sevarius Jr. made and we're not sure he's gotten rid of... Just tell Wilek to be careful, okay?
And Lisa, please be careful on that bike. I do not want to have to pick you up from the hospital tonight.
Oh, just in case anybody's wondering, no, I'd never let geneticists tamper with me unless it was to cure some cancer or similar disease. I'm happy with my body the way it is. In a fight, I'll count on my jetpack, various high-tech devices, knowledge of many martial arts and streetfighting techniques, my quick thinking and quicker 'crisis mode' reflexes; and of course my cast-iron blessed (by a powerful Catholic priest and cleric named Albert Haas) nightstick, my three sharp K-Bar throwing and stabbing knives, and my turbo-charged, single-barreled, laser-enhanced, pump-action, large-caliber plasma-shotgun. Bad guys beware when Doug is in your hair! Muhahaha!!
That's all for now, talk to you guys again after Lis and I have read Coyote's latest work. Till then, adios.

**Coyote enters the room, diving away from Buick and Lisa speeding by on the motorbike.**
Uh oh ... I do *not* want to see him riding that thing on the highway. Lisa, you are a braver soul than I, my friend.
Green Baron: I know for a fact that Fieger is not gay, because his main complaint about incumbent Republican gov. John Engler (as quoted from a local radio station) is that Engler is "fat and slightly effeminate." That has become *the* absolute biggest Fieger joke around here (the aforementioned radio station has a Fieger impersonator who calls anyone he doesn't like "fat and slightly effeminate."). Needless to say, the GOP is not too threatened by him, the Democrats are trying to disown him, and every voter with half a modicum of common sense is laughing their a** off at him.
Ravyn, Theresa: It's a weird thing ... people send me descriptions of characters based on their own physical appearances and the results bear an uncanny similarity to them (look what happened when I did Lisa's picture!). Now I'm starting to scare myself ...
**Rosanna enters the room.**
Oh, and Rosanna has something to add. Take it away.
**Rosanna clears her throat.**
Miriam: Don't always look to science to solve the problem of eliminating stone sleep. I turn human during the day, because of a birthday gift from Alex Xanatos. That spell also eliminated the sleep centers in my brain, which means I never shut down. As far as healing goes, my gargoyle self heals when I'm human, and my human self heals when I'm a gargoyle. I'm happy with this setup, though it did give me a lot of grief when I was in high school ... fortunately the school i went to was pretty liberal ... but that's a story for another time. That's all I have to say, I'll bring Coyote back.
**Rosanna steps out, closing the door behind her. Coyote steps back where she had been.**
And before I forget, that new fic I promised earlier this evening is now posted. Click on my name to read "Life as Seen From the Fish Bowl."

(A huge horde of angry people carrying signs and chanting "Hey Publishers, get Christine Morgan's book out NOW!!" and similar euphemisms march through the CR. Lisa breaks from the crowd to say the following.)
Will this help them get the book out, Christine? I hope so!! I enjoyed this quarter's AvMists, can't wait till the next one! Everyone who contributed, keep up the good work!
Lady Mystic: Thanks for all the encouragement and the history of your own relationship. It sounds like you and Firestorm are both very close and lucky in love. Hope Doug and I are one day the same or greater <gr>. It also sounds like you're a lot better at psychoanalysis and figuring people out than I am, but that's okay. Many many people are. You certainly have a lot to be proud of. Thanks for the info, it's good to know I'm not alone in confusing folks.
Miriam: Has Wilek considered the treatment Dr. Anton Sevarius gave me or a variation thereof? Let me tell you what it got me:
1. Enhanced strength, dexterity, and constitution- always useful.
2. Wolverine-speed healing (read the X-Men comics if you don't know who I'm talking about) in place of stone sleep- very handy whenever I recieve a physical injury. I still have to sleep normally as humans do, but that's okay.
3. Wings- now I can glide! And leap easily from building to building. And due to my friends in Clan Austin's expert tutelage, preform dazzling sets of aerial maneuvers.
4. A tail- for balance, sweeping out enemy's legs from under them, and as a fifth hand.
(Of course Wilek already has wings and a tail, but I had to mention them.)
5. My eyes now glow red whenever I get angry or have an adrenalin surge. Bad guys hate that, and I love it!
6. My protective instincts have increased. But that's okay, since I'm a half-garg now, it had happen sooner or later.
7. Retractable claws in my fingers- watch out, bad guys, when she decides to extend and use them, this girl's claws are sharp!
8. I am now thought as even cooler by all my friends and fam. I wasn't expecting that, quite the opposite in fact. Guess they're really good tolerant loving people, and I'm very lucky to have them. (From the stares Jim and Shap give me sometimes before Doug does his overprotective boyfriend impression at them, I suspect something else might also be involved.)
There were side effects, too, of course, but fewer of those than good things. Here they are:
1. I seem to be more of a night person than a day person now. Makes it really a bummer to attend 8 am classes here at UT. Even if the professors weren't as boring as they are!
2. I have trouble hiding my wings and tail sometimes. I usually am able to pass for human by folding my wings and concealing them under my shirt or jacket (like Brooklyn did in Temptation) or putting them in cloak-form (slits are cut in the back of half my shirts in case I want to do the latter, and the other half are two sizes larger to accomodate the former method). My tail I tuck into my pants leg like Rose does in Coyote's fanfic. Of course, there's also a convienent hole in the backs of all my pants so I can pop it out if necessary. I also wear the next upper size of pants to accomodate this (loose look is in fashion nowadays, nobody seems to care).
3. Most average everyday people have had trouble getting used to a garg in their midst, so they experience some fright and anxiety when they see what I truly am. After they find out I'm really still a person and a nice friendly pretty girl at that, they are usually able to shake it off. But it's still there initially.
4. The local fundamentalist a-hole crowd here keep yelling I'm demon-posessed, not human, and hellbound, as are all who hang out with me. Of course, they were doing that before my change, but now it's even more so. A few have even come after me with sledgehammers or other weapons. That's proven dangerous, to them more than me. Now I have a legit excuse to kick their butts. And so do Doug and the rest of my friends they badmouth. :)
5. With the increase in protective urges has come a need to sometimes go out and patrol Austin, saving people in trouble and beating up our local gang members and criminals before calling the cops on my cellphone about it (in this fantasy world, they know about and support my vigilanteism and the other Ravens'). That has sometimes proven dangerous to me, as I have been shot at (but thankfully not hit yet). But ultimately, the bad guys are the ones in the most danger when this gargoyle sees them doing their work and interferes.
6. The procedure set me back $700!! But it was well worth it. Like Dr. Anton said when I asked him how much, it could have been higher, but the procedure was experimental, he'd never tried it before, he wasn't even sure if it would work, and I did sign a waiver with my left hand (so it wasn't my real handwriting, but he didn't know that!). And he and Ed made the mutation very frightening for me, what with all their talking about exactly what they were doing, keeping me doped-up but awake during it all, and the occasional bout of shared maniacal laughter. It was worth it, but it was still a very harrowing experience.
So, if anyone wants to, try it. Become a half-garg variation mutate! Some of you it might make better people (though how that's possible with how great all the people in here are already, I have no idea).
Ravyn: Thanks for the info on Alex, I knew he was based on some cute guy! I'll wait till WCC to learn more. And I think you could be right about Coyote having ESP. He got the picture of me very right with all the above in there and it really looked like me, too. I had to correct him at first, but the things I had to do it on were very minor, so it was okay. He is one great artist, and writer too. I can hardly wait for his new story tonight!
That's all for now, later!
(Lisa sees the protesters have gotten way ahead of her, so she blows a loud whistle. Buick, dressed in biker gear complete with a doggoyle-size helmet, roars up on Lisa's cycle. She dons her own helmet and climbs on the back, and they zoom off after the crowd, Lisa's hair, wings, and tail flowing and waving behind as she clings tightly to the speeding and riding very unsafely (how she got talked into letting Buick try this is anyone's guess) gar-dog. They soon leave the CR far behind.)

Just one thing to note and clarify.
Sevarius Jr.> As far as I know, Fieger is not gay,a nd if he was, he'd have better taste than a lawyer. I just put the comment there to amuse Firestorm. I would even say that Fieger does not play Barney. I should have mentioned this, because I could be sued for libel due to my last post. Geoffrey Fieger is a loony who has the Democratic nomination for Governor of Michigan. Now, everyone in Michigan knows what it was like in Louisiana when David Duke won the Republican nomination for Governor, and he was rebuked by Ronald Reagan and George Bush, as well as almost being censured by the National GOP. His opponent was a big crook, so there were bumper stickers saying, "Vote for the Crook" and SNL ragged on us as well.

Lisa> Thanks! Alex Wonder is very loosely based on this really cute guy I go to high school with. Alex (in my stories) is Ravyn's best friend, and they're the dynamic duo of my stories. Alex was a human living in Phoenix, Arizona, but was mutated into a half-garg and ran away into the desert. Eventually he made his way to Flagstaff, AZ, where Beth Maza found him and hooked him up with the Manhattan Clan. Ravyn was already there, and they instantly became friends. Anything else you wanna know, I'd be glad to tell you!
Theresa> Thanks. It's pretty amazing, because Coyote got the length and color of my hair absolutely perfect, so that's the way my hair looks in real life. Maybe Coyote's got ESP...

COYOTE - Glad that you liked my use of Buick. I don't normally do Blaisisms, but I had a sudden creativity demon stirring, and couldn't resist it.
MIRIAM - I wouldn't go around asking for gargoyles to lose the ability to stone sleep if I were you. Yes, it is inconvenient at times in putting them at the mercy of humans in the day, but it also allows them to heal quickly, and get the sleep that they need. Getting rid of stone sleep could cause more problems than it solves.

Miriam: Hmm, getting rid of stone sleep...That could be tricky. Don't know exactly how that could be done. I have a few theories. Perhaps the sun's UV rays could have an effect on Gargoyle genetics...My dad'll figure something out. In the mean time, if you wanna leave a deposit on the procedure, just email me your credit card #. (Go on ahead, you can trust me. Honest. ;-])
Wyvern castle: I'd have to say that Hakon and the Captain of the Guard's ghosts were probably the main perps there. They were there for centuries. Plus (although it's been some time since I saw SHADOWS OF THE PAST) wasn't the Archmage's cave near Castle Wyvern? That place had a lot of power left over (as seen in SHADOWS OF THE PAST), so who knows what stuff could have been going on in there that could have bled a little over to the overall creepiness of the castle.
Say, how is Gargoyles doing in the poll? I'd love it if Disney saw it and realized that the show DOES have life beyond the Goliath Chronicles.
Oh and Baron....that was WAY more than I ever wanted to know about Fieger.

**There is a sudden hollow pop, and suddenly Mandi is standing in the middle of the room, with Alex Xanatos in her arms. Mandi and Alex both look utterly confused.**
How the heck did I get here? **Sees for the first time that she's holding Alex** For that matter, why am I holding you?? Great, I bet one of Puck's lessons got botched somehow. I guess we might as well hang out here until they find us.
Green Baron -- Yes, but not pay cable. (Whine, whine, whine!) I'm not really complaining. I'm thrilled to have a TV and VCR in here, period.
Doug -- Bringing back Molly? I don't know. Having the Banshee admit feelings for Rory, and then Rory reconciling with Molly, doesn't ring true to me. He may agree to call a truce between them and bury the 2000-year-old hatchet, but I doubt he'd want to reconcile with her. From "The Tain," it looks like she hurt him too deeply for him to really trust her in that way again. Although having the Banshee realize that she did have feelings for him now that she's lost Rory would be particularly interesting: she apparently didn't learn much in the way of humility in the mortal world, and that might take her down a peg.

Why no one wanted Castle Wyvern between 994 and 1995. Hmm, two ghosts, Demona showing up every now and again, the last of the royal family who lived there (Princess Katherine) vanished, the place was just full of demons before the Vikings sacked it who knows how many are left; that's a few reasons I thought up. Humans, what a gullible breed. Or should I say species?
To all new people in CR> Welcome!
Speaking of Gargoyle cartoons, the Blockbuster in my town has some on tape. Two episodes on a cassette. But the titles they list on the back of the boxes are episodes I've never heard of. Did someone decided to change the episode names when they put them on video? It sound stupid to me, but you never can tell.

Lawrence: I agree with you that Demona is at least partilly resposible for the castle's disreputible reputation. I could see her reterning every now and then to morn the loss of her clan... Here's an indea. The Clan was terned to stone by magic.. Maybe Demona was tried to reanimate the clan with magic. After all, in the Garggoyles universe magic useually causes an impresive lightshow. that would certinly add to the castles rep.

**Mandi comes in, followed by a bunch of her fanfic characters, who are arguing about politics for some odd reason.** All right, who let them listen to tapes of Dennis Miller? :)
Sorry I haven't been here in a while. It's been an insane week. So, to catch up... **Mandi dives for cover as a stampede of people's creativity demons cross the room** Wow. I HAVE missed a lot.
Dylan -- If you do read this, HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY!
Void -- You've heard it before, but Welcome!
Adrienne -- Hehehe...thank you. The hairball's now sleeping at a ranch in Laramie right now; they called Animal control, but one look at the dog sent the AC guys running for their lives. Oh well.
Fire Storm -- Oops. I guess I've violated the fourth commandment as much as Doug has, since Sheridan, Madison, Razor, and Colleen are going to be in my next fic. But this has REALLY helped me get past writer's block. (It could be worse. I could have had Sarah driving everyone up the wall.) BTW, loved the newest installment of the Hunter Fire Storm saga.
Loved Avalon Mists! Yaay! Wish I had something to contribute, but I couldn't find anything new I was really happy with. Crossovers, maybe, but the one I had in mind has been in the GFW fic archive for over a year.
And I think that Disney's trying to torture those who can't afford pay cable with having Gargs on Toon Disney. Grrr...
Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong....and I'm going to be late for class. :)
**Mandi shoves the arguing crowd of gargoyles and humans out of the room, closing the door behind her.**

*Todd is just about to leave the TGS Comment Room after saying that, when a Mercedes zooms past, an all-too-familiar-looking gargoyle beast eagerly at the wheel. Todd has to hurriedly jump out of the way, and calls after Buick, "For goodness' sake, at least take Driver's Ed!" Buick drives out of the comment room, followed by a pair of frantic-looking yuppies, the female of whom is screaming, "That thing stole our car, Brendan! What are you going to do about it?" *

<<I do that to a lot of people.... [My boyfriend] especially, or so he often tells me. Just one of the many components of my personality. But please tell me, how do I do it to you? There could be problems with myself that I need to correct. Or maybe there are things you want to know that I can tell you.>> Deja vu! I've said the exact same thing to people about myself too. :)
Although, Fire Storm has VERY rarely confused me (I can only think of one time), but he does freak me out on occasion, with all his physical injuries, and how he gets too physical when horsing around with Puppy Girl (they both get hurt EVERYTIME they joke around together). And no it's not like THAT, you have a dirty little mind! They're roughhousing! (Fire Storm's the big brother my sister never had. She's the little sister Fire Storm misses having. His sister's too "old" for that sort of stuff, hmmph. Although, that fact is ironic since Puppy Girl is older than Fire Storm's sister. In fact the only thing both girls share is the same name and the same high school.)
I used to confuse Fire Storm a LOT. He'd say I was too complex. But now, we have been together so long that our personalities are very well known by each other (beyond anything that you could imagine really). And it's probably beyond Doug and Lisa's bond because of how long we have been together and how much we have put into this relationship, before AND during our couple-dom. Believe me when I say this. When Fire Storm and I were at the 1 year mark, we thought we couldn't get any closer than the way we were then, but things change over time (positively and negatively -- positively in mine and Fire Storm's case). Don't worry, Doug and Lisa, you'll see what I mean when you reach the "almost 2 1/2 year mark" and all years beyond that, or at least I hope you will see what I mean. Right now, Fire Storm and I are as close as a couple could be to marriage, without the ceremony. And the bond will keep getting stronger. I'm sorry, that's all I feel fit to say at the moment. Feel free to ask questions though. :)
But I have yet to run into anyone who has confused me for a long period of time (usually anywhere from a few seconds to a few weeks, depending on the situation, the topic of question, and how often I run into them). And I haven't been wrong yet on any of my analyses of people, situations, relationships, and such. Yes I'm proud *grin*, especially since many of the "things" I've solved and "figured out in great detail" have involved universes within universes of "things" to "figure out." (I'll leave my last sentence cryptic for now.) <g>
Lawrence Stone & Wavelength: Welcome back. :)
Void: Welcome. :)
Dylan Blacquire: Happy Birthday!
Todd: I share your theory on the ghosts of Hakon and the Captain in relation to Wyvern and its absence of inhabitants. I've believed this ever since I first saw the premiere episodes.
DumlaoX: As soon as I can get it all written down, I'll e-mail it to you. Okay? I've been having a REALLY busy week, and the next couple of days don't look too forgiving either. But I'll find time, and will e-mail you on what I was trying to say ASAP. I feel my theory is THAT important (that is, it's very beneficial) or else I wouldn't have mentioned it in the first place. I don't want you to have to wait too long. I'm assuming time is of the essence for you. So since you value my opinion, I'll definitely try my best to answer your wishes/request as soom as it is possible for me. Is that alright with you? <:)

(Newgoyle enters the comment room, holding a battered- looking Quarryhammer in one hand.)
Hi everybody. The computer wouldn't let me in the past couple of days, but today I convince it that it would be in its best interests to behave itself. (lifts the Q-hammer with a grin.) Sometimes, you just have to know how to speak their language. ;)
DumlaoX, thanks for enlightening me. Now I can sleep, without 'Who is Simon Templar?' circling my head like a vulture and keeping me awake.
(Newgoyle turns to the large gar-dog sneaking up to get to the white Mazda behind her and growls.)
Don't even think about it. I just bought that car, and she may be old, but she's my first car and I love her to bits. I've seen how you drive, Buick. No Way.
(Buick pauses, sees Newgoyle's glowing eyes and changes his mind. He heads out the CR doors, intending to 'borrow' someone elses car.)
Happy birthday Dylan. Eighteen is the best age to be, speaking as one who is that age.
Firstorm, I'm hanging out for the next installment in the Hyena, Jackal, HFS and Bubba saga. I have to say, though, your creativity demons make mine look pretty small and pathetic by comparison. Actually, come to think of it, there's one or two that have been born just after a really bad day filled with lots of horrible people, that would probably fit right in with the Story of Billy. (My motto is, imagining is almost as much fun as the real thing, and a lot less likely to involve the police ;) )
(There is a glitch, like a TV going on the blink, and Newgoyle momentarily dissapears.)
*Growl* Guess I have to go make good on a threat. I think I'll do what I did to this hammer's original owner.
(Swinging the Quarryhammer onto her shoulder, Newgoyle exits the CR.)

Brian- Ok, if you got the message, the worry and confusion thing should now be cleared up. Glad to have it out of the way. Please, everyone, if I ever worry and confuse anyone here, don't be afraid to tell me so and why. I will respond to it and settle the issue without embarrassment!
Okay, now that that's said, on to other things:
Firestorm- Don't worry, I'll follow as many of those commandments as possible. I won't even leak stuff about Doug's fanfic in here any more (he's gotten kinda POed a little when I've done it before, but to his credit, handled it very nicely. <gr> ). Keep up the good work on your Jackal and Hyena fics. I like seeing them together. And Bubba and HFS are as always very funny.
Ravyn- Nice pic, too bad you're the rarer sort of half-garg without wings and a tail. They do come in handy a lot. But it is a bummer hiding them sometimes, so I guess you can be glad to do without. Alex is cute, too. I have a question about him. Is his character based on a real person, or just made-up? What can you tell us about him? My inquiring mind wants to know. Oh, one last thing. I heard your family situation has finally been resolved. My congratulations. The family you had raised you great, and I'm glad you didn't forget to thank them for the good hard work. You did nicely in handling this challenge life threw your way, hope it's the same with the next one. Keep up the happiness. That's all I'll say to you for now.
Happy birthday to Dylan, and welcome to Void and Wavelength.

You know, the ghosts of the Captain and Hakon haunting the place may explain one thing: why nobody ever bothered trying to reclaim Castle Wyvern in the period between 994 and 1994. It's a bit odd that none of the kings of Scotland that followed ever attempted to reoccupy a deserted castle which surely must have possessed some strategic importance. But the hauntings must have discouraged them from doing so - and eventually, castles went out of fashion as far as warfare was concerned, and so Wyvern was almost completely forgotten.

<The Comment Room monitor turns on, revealing the image of Hunter Fire Storm and Bubba deep in the heart of the most frightning jungle in the world... The Urban Jungle of Atlanta.
"Listen up! We have FINALLY found 'em!"
Bubba focus's the camera on Jackal, walking down the street.
"Ok Bubba, Lets take him out!"
The crosshairs of Hunter Fire Storms cannon lock onto Jackal.
As Hunter Fire Storm starts to squeeze the trigger, the Hunters Horn sounds, officially ending Jackal hunting season.
"GAWD DAMNIT Bubba! We's be SO close!" Hunter Fire Storm then looks at Bubba. "What do we get to hunt next?"
Bubba pulls out his trusty DNR approved "Guide to Overkill Hunting" and tries to find the hunting calender...>
Well, if all goes well, my link will take you to the latest in the Hunter Fire Storm series.
YAY! Avalon Mists!
<A few blocks away from the hunters, two imfamous cyborgs are watching and listening.
After flpping through the book for a few moments, Bubba looks up and makes some gestures.
"Well, i'll be. It be CYBORG hunting season." A thin line of drool drips from the corners of his mouth.
"My favortie time of the year."
The two cyborgs exchange a single thought between them:

Coyote it is for sure for sure. Disney is running gargoyles as a plug to get you to get your cable provider to get the Disney Toon channel. There will be two more episodes besides tonights. I think I was Airwalker (not sure now) that let everyone know about Disney airing Gargoyles. The next episode is in about ten days. But I did check my web tv schedule and my real tv guide and they both agree.

ORDELL - Here are what I consider to be the most important episode of "Pendragon" for the overall Season One arcs:
The Return (season opener; Cavall is introduced)
The Last Enchantment (mostly flashbacks about Merlin's life in Arthurian times, but includes a crucial plot element, his difficulties with his father)
The Goddess of Winter (also mostly flashbacks, but introduces a major antagonist, Morgana la Fay, and explains her hatred of Arthur)
Into the Woods (Griff's love interest, Brianna, is introduced)
Visions (Arthur's first clash with the Illuminati)
The Tain (Arthur and Griff meet Rory in Ireland)
Quest's End (Arthur and Griff find Merlin; so does Merlin's father)

Maybe the castle is hunted by prince Malcolm or maybe goliath's past clan members that were destoryed in 994 a.d. or maybe the locals always heard demona howleing or saw her glowing red eyes at castle wyvern when she was checking on Goliath and the rest through the years. what do the rest of you think?

ARIS - What Doug said. Although I must admit that it could have been interesting if Rory had been present at Farthingham. Like Arthur, he killed his own son in his original Cuchulain days, so seeing the Madoc/Merlin feud could have been - in its own way - as interesting an experience as it was for Arthur. (Anybody curious about the Cuchulain-slaying-his-son incident can read about it in Rosemary Sutcliffe's "The Hound of Ulster" or "Legends of Valor" in the "Enchanted World" series from Time-Life Books, which are the two works that I got most of my information about Cuchulain and the Ulster Cycle from).

Ravyn: Well, wings or no wings, you still look great! Excellent menacing glare. I hear you've written some fanfics with those characters, where might I find them?
Firestorm: Thanks for posting those commandments. I intend to follow them only loosely. But I'll try to cut down on the fanfic mentions as much as possible (the fanfic is all me, not Lisa). From now on unless I want to leak something (and in the past I have, but now just about everything I want to leak has been leaked), or someone asks me a fanfic-related question (do it by e-mail and Ask Doug can be private, do it by a post in here, you risk revealing the answer to the world as I will answer via the same method), I'll try to keep it out of my posts. Blaise-isms I'll mostly do to tell a non-fanfic related story, like the one I've got going now. I won't make you an enemy, since you refuse to follow your commandments yourself (the spelling errors in that last post, man!). I'll follow the commandments at least a little and otherwise just keep going with business as usual. Besides, your Dog does not scare me. I've mopped the floor with the Three Sisters of Wyrd before (Don't ask), the heavy rubber soles of my shoes protect me from lightning, and from her other powers, well, let's just say I have a more powerful ally. (A loud meow echoes throughout the comment room.) So Dog, you have nothing on Doug! Ha!!
Aris- I've heard the reason Rory wasn't in the last ep of Pendragon was that he still had stuff to do in Ireland before formally joining up with King Arthur. Like make sure his dad would be okay, and tell the people he asked for jobs "Sorry, no can do." But he will be back next season, I'm sure. He has to deal with Cu Challian's mortal enemies, Maeve and the Morrigan! And I hope Molly comes back too. Wouldn't it be great if some of the first words she said when that iron plate comes off her mouth were an expression of her true feelings for Rory? Just a mad creativity demon I have. Later!

A question: In 'Pendragon' (if I remember correctly) in the penultimate episode, Rori went with Arthur. In the last episode he's nowhere to be found! (Again if I remember correctly) What happened?
And sorry, in case I don't remember correctly.

(Brian enters the room , he swallows some pain killers without water as he rubs his throat .)
Well folks sorry for that scene earlier but it does appear that my creativity demons took off and have been creating havoc all over the place . They shaved the lion at the zoo , pulled the crocodiles' teeth , turned the man at the burger king drive thru into extra crispy chicken tenders (do'nt ask , you really do'nt want to know) , gave my brother an atomic wegie of sorts by throwing him off the second floor while he was secured by his underware (no more nephews or nieces from him ) , turned on all the gas outlets in the chemistry lab ( poor Ms Smith ) , beat the principal with his bag of essays and according to a slogan on the Mon Lisa , She has that smile on for an entirely different reason now . Well I put an end to all that . (he holds up 6 demon shaped shadows in an aluminum-titanium cage) .Yeah I know it was 5 origionally , but I found this one and one other about to unplug unplug my cable , I managed to ge one of them into the cage but the other was far more resilient so I stuck it into the microwave . I need some help though , I ca'nt put them back in me by myself as they are the source of my power . Any suggestions .
Hey guys guess what , when I was in Florida I went to Downtown Disney and they had some gargoyles stuff their , like cells, character sketches and other stuff that made me kick myself for not carrying enough money .
I give up , until the phoenix gate pick is back up I'm going to go with teen goliath .
Sevarius Jr : Never mind about my earlier proposal , I foun something in the Gully that will serve my purposes quite nicely .
I highly recommend that yo see blade on the big screen too , That man is fast and it is some of the best sword play that I've seen since "Highlander" . I do not agree that Wesley Snipes would make a god Goliath though , he is fairly short from what I have been made aware of .
(Brian walks out of the room , unnoticd to him however is the skinniest demon squeezing through the bars and jumping down into the room as he closes the door . The Demon looks around at the people in the comment room and grins Satanically whilst rubbing its hands together .)

<Fire Storm enters the comment room wearing a tattered robe, his usually well kept hair is now long and gray, with a equally unkept beard. He is carrying three stone tablets. A rather large rock rises from the ground below him. As he is raised towards the heavens, a beam of light shines brightly on him, as the comment room grows dark. He raises the tablets above his head and begins to speak. >
"DOG has spoken to me. She has told me to write these Fifteen Commandments…" The middle tablet slips out of his hand and falls to the ground far below, shattering on impact. "Er… These TEN Commandments to give to the people in the rooms. THESE are your Ten Commandments.
The Ten Commandments of the Chat Room
(As told to me by DOG herself! Her name is Sheba.)
1. Thou shall separate topics by one blank vertical line.
2. Thou shall NOT use others characters out of context.
3. Thou shall NOT refer to thy own fanfic in every post.
4. Thou shall NOT post thy fanfic in a not for fanfic comment room.
5. Thou shall be able to post a link to thy own fanfic, even in a not for fanfic comment room.
6. Thou shall NOT covet thy neighbor's wife (Sorry! Wrong commandments!)
7. Thou shall NOT swear too fucking much in thy damn posts, (son of a) bitch.
8. Thou shall NOT post too many survey questions.
9. Thou shall chek thy spelin befor you post.
10. Thou shall NOT have another dog before me.
11. Thou shall take me for walkies every night.
"These are your commandments, so shall it be written, so shall they be obeyed.
If thy refuses to follow these Ten Commandments, thou shall be banished from the comment room by the Three Sisters of Wyrd and beaten with large fish."
A voice from below yells to Fire Storm. "HEY! I thought you said TEN Commandments! That was Eleven!"
A bolt of lightning comes from the sky, striking the one who spoke, leaving only a charred spot on the ground where he once stood.
"Do not question the word of Dog. She is wise and most powerful."
<The tablets float upward from Fire Storms hands as the rock below him disappears back into the ground. As he is lowered, his hair shortens, his robe turns back into his usual long black leather jacket, and his sunglasses appear over his eyes. The tablets then shine brightly, burning their images into the mind of all the members of the comment room before disappearing. >
Even though I usually am a very joking person, I believe that these guidelines should be followed for the sake of others in the room, if not 'religiously,' then at least a little.
Especially number one. I don't know about everyone else, but I just skim over long, unbroken messages. At least with a few line breaks, it appears more readable.
And so what if I DO post this in both comment rooms? I think it would be nice to show these recomended guidelines to all.
Doug and Lisa: I already know what you are going to say.
Yes, I do mention my own fanfic alot. Hell, My Blaiseism's iven INCLUDE part of it.
But you have got to admit, you two were pretty bad there for a while, explaining some parts of your own fanfic in detail.
I just HAD to get that off my chest. I don't want to make enemies out of you two. It is just somthing that had to be said.
Static-Pulse: Wellsur, Thank ya kindly for the liking my pal Hunter Fire Storm and Bubba. And yep, I do have some more installments, although they don't have gore in them. I am trying to get a wide range of writing styles and genre, more for myself than anything else.
As for the gore? Maybe later.
Scratch that.
DEFINATELY later.
SJ: Damn! Thanks! (Almost felt like being in a Fire Storm fic)
Coyote: <Spaghettisicles> Don't like them. Have bad memories of defrosting homemade sauce, and not being able to eat for a few hours while waiting. Once served the sauce and it still had frozen chunks in it. Not good.
Green Baron: Feiger in my Fanfic? Well, as HFS would say: "Vermin are ALWAYS in season!"
And if he wins: I hear that Colorado is a nice place to live.
But you know what they say: If you want to win, make sure that you are running against someone that the people hate and don't trust. That way, you are sure to win.
I have family that work at a hotel, and Feiger always enters the hotel with the same woman (Who is NOT his wife, but looks like <Quote> "an expensive call girl"), and at the banquets, he does drink a helluva lot. Still. He never quit.
Strange creativity Damien: Isn't Hyena the ideal hunter? She eats whatever she kills.
Last words: Say, what does that red button do?
That SHINY red button?
That red, Jolly, CANDY LIKE button do?

(Doug's image appears again, he and his pal Keith are setting up spy cameras around his apartment.)
This oughta get the gargoyle in our sights. I know it's up there!
SJ: Thanks for the compliment but IRL that picture wasn't totally on the money. That picture was of me without my facial hair, which is a full beard and mustache. So it's not completely what I look like. Oh well, I had to shave for the costume anyway, so it couldn't be helped. Spike's photo of me is with beard and mustache intact, hope she gets it up soon.
Ravyn- great pic! I honestly say, if I wasn't taken SO-wise, I'd be hitting on you right now. Just one question- what happened to your wings? Don't most gargoyles have them? Or are you just hiding them under your shirt like Lisa and Brooklyn do sometimes?
That's all for now, I am making lots of posts tonight.
(The holo fades out as Doug and Keith continue setting up their cameras. Everyone thinks something could be wrong with what their setup, but are unable to discern what before the holo disappears. Wait till next post to find out!)

Anyways, congrats Mark McGwire on #62! (my brother's going nuts right now! He absolutely adores Big Mac.
Coyote> Wow! It's really amazing how perfect your picture of me & Alex is! The only thing I can think of is that Alex doesn't have the little rib-things in his wings (his are plain like Demona's), but otherwise, that pic is absolutely perfect!!! (You even have me in the perfect shirt! ;) ) Thanks so much! You're awesome, Coyote!

Jeb: Hey, great pics! I finally got to see what the amazing DOUG ELDER looks like! (By the way Doug, Calvin Klein called while you were out. Something about a modeling contract, I'm not sure, I was watching McGwire on the telly...)
About Blade: I recommend everyone go see a Vampire flick that is worthy of being a Vampire flick. No Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise, no disturbingly...._erotic_ tones (I'm sorry, that film just left me with a real weird feeling in my stomach), just Wesley Snipes killing like, 20 vamps in about 10 seconds. Plus you got gore, vampire hotties (one really good vampire hottie), even exploding heads. Coooooooool! Plus it's like the only good thing in theaters till the new Jackie Chan flick comes out.
Ravyn: Are me eyes playing tricks on me, or do you have a Degeneration X shirt on in Coyote's pic? I just got 2 words for you:.....:-)

Two more quickies:
SJ: Thanks for the gift ... though I'm not sure by the time I get back from this mad chase it'll be alive.
Green Baron: I am one Michigander who says: Fieger is a psychopath, and I would gladly move to Outer Fartnovia if he were *ever* elected governer of this state. (You should hear some of the local radio shows around here rip on Fieger!!)
**Coyote turns and points over the crowd, yelling "HEY! He's got the *real* #62!!" The rest of the crowd screeches on the floor of the CR, turning and chasing after the other guy.**
Geez ... if this isn't the 62nd, what is it?

(Doug appears on the CR projection screen, sweeping stone fragments up on his apartment patio.)
I know there's a gargoyle roosting in the apartment above mine! Why else would I find all these stone fragments on my patio every sunset and hear that roaring noise from up there around the same time? I am going to investigate this! (With Lisa's help, and the Ravens', of course.) :)
JEB: Definitely see Blade on the big screen. It's gory as hell, and there's no romance, but it is still a great action vampire flick. Best I've seen of the genre in years, and the characters were excellent, especially Blade himself. I think that if they can't get Keith David as Goliath for the Gargoyles movie, Wesley Snipes would be an excellent second choice. The plot is also good, and I plan to incorporate parts of it into a later fanfic. You should definitely check it out, it's better than the Blade comic books! Lisa liked it, too, when we went to see it, despite the lack of chemistry between the hero and heroine.
Brian: You're not the only one who Lisa makes feel that way. I feel worried and confused about her every day I spend with the woman! But in defense of my girlfriend and our relationship, I honestly enjoy feeling that way. Most people in love I've talked to have felt the same about their partners, and Lisa sometimes tells me I confuse and worry her as well. I think we can both deal with it. If any of you people in here have issues about this, though, please let us know so we can talk about them. Until the Rising begins, we have to somehow keep things busy in here.
Later all, I have a mission to plan now.

Favorite color: Blue. Then gold. Then red. Then black. Then silver.
Favorite kind of car: Inexpensive but not junky. (I have no idea. ;)

Blade> Ain't seen it yet. Is it worth seeing in the theater, y'all think, or should I wait until it's on video?

**Coyote enters the room, shifting his eyes warily in search of the Skylark. Not seeing it, he sighs in relief and enters fully.**
Good, he's caught in traffic (though I don't know how long that'll hold him.)
First off: Thank you so much to everyone who's given me (early) birthday wishes. (Maybe I should have clarified the last post I made, I meant to say the sweater was an *early* birthday gift. Sorry if I misled you guys (and no, Brian, you didn't miss it.)) If you check my listing in the Registry, I think I listed what my b-day is ... and if not, I'll tell you guys anyway, it's actually on the 27th.
Current results: As of 6:25pm EDT, the standings are:
King of the Hill: 29%
Gargoyles: *70%*!!!
We're pulling away! AAAAOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
**Coyote is interrupted mid-howl by Lexington, who enters the room and stomps on Coyote's foot.**
Sorry, Lex, I let my inner coyote out for a second there ... oh, you're looking for Buick? I don't know where he went ...
Todd: Buick having a license? I know the Michigan Secretary of State is pretty liberal, but I don't think she's *that* liberal! Besides, the way he drives nobody in their right mind would give him a license anyway. (and besides that, officiall Clan Detroit would not exist, as they have no physical records, so how could a being that doesn't exist obtain a driver's license?)
Firestorm: Have you considered spaghettisicles?
**Coyote suddenly ducks as Lexington goes flying, screaming "RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!" Coyote takes up a brisk run as Buick zooms through the doors of the room driving a Firebird that Coyote recognizes as one of his co-workers' car.**
Come back here! She just bought that!!

Walking swiftly into the room a woman of unknown age with long sliver hair, tied back away from her face comes to stand in the center of everyone. Looking around at all that resides around the room with her, she looks at all with silver eyes then she smiles. She then bows in a way to say HI.
She starts to speak in a soft but strong voice.
"Why do we wait for longing lovers to stand apart when they should be able to share the love they have for one another?"
Everyone looks in question though knowing the answer.
"It is time to let them love more freely. Let them not be afraid to share thier love around others. And let not the others be ashamed to see the love they share."
Silver Arrow turned to leave but stopped to say one more thing.
"Let love conquer and not shame. Let not two differences make it impossible to love one another."
Then in a wink of an eye and with a spark of glitter Silver Arrow disappeared but not before you heard her soft laugh in delight.

OK folks , I am officially back home and there is a good chance I'll be here for the next two years so I wo'nt be away from the room for very long for the duration . I am really *censored* *censored* because I came in last night wrote a really long post and before I could post it the blasted computer closed it down on me , (remember what I said I do when the computer misbehaves) .
Well , here we go again .
Firstorm : Where can I read your latest fic ? I saw blade while I was in Florida so I should'nt find it too grotesque .
Arianna : Welcome to the room and make yourelf at home .
Ravyn : I have a long list of jokes that I gave to Doug for the rising , if you want it , let me know .
Lisa : You confuse and worry me .
Coyote : Happy belated Birthday
(Brian prepares to sing the happy birthday song but changes his mind when he says the peple in he comment room lift up couches chairs , summon swords and lift other members of the board to throw at him .)
Sevarius Jr. : I need a genetic anomally , feel up to it ?
Dallas is in Texas right ?
The way I would ike to die : Peacefully in my sleep or inplace of a loved one .
My last words : I say the Lord's Prayer every night before I go to sleep . If I died for someone - "Make your life count ."
Favourite animal : Snakes and Lizards .
Favourite fictional animal : Dragon . (Tiamat to be precise)
Later all .
(Brian turns to walk out of the comment room but suddenly a darkness appears around him and his body appears tp absorb it , then he screams in pain and falls to the floor spasming , 5 shadows fly out of his mouth and take the form of small demons , they then fly , cackling , out of the room . Brian slowly gets to his feet clutchig his throat and starts to follow them as fast as his pain racked body will allow .)

Hey Mandi, you saw Blade too? I loved that film. Wesley Snipes, being the baddest badass I've ever seen him as, just killing vampires left and right. And they had some good gore for a change. Almost felt like I was in a Firestorm fan fic.
And by the way, that blonde female vampire can bite my neck any day of the week. Bueno arbusto!

**There is a blinding flash, and Mandi appears in the comment room, bouncing with happiness.**
Yaay! I'm on an ethernet connection again! (Although now I don't have A/C....but it could be worse.)
Last and Fourth!! I'm partially reposting my last comment just to get a break from my paper. Thank goodness I don't have any early a.m. classes tomorrow.
Lady Mystic: Apparently, the jury's still out on the wisdom teeth. My next vacation fron school is the weekend before the fall play, and since my drunk scene is rather brief and late in the play, I'm going to have to be coherent during the performances. So it may have to wait until December, given that nothing gets infected before then. Thank you for caring. :)
I understand what you're saying about the TGS page; the longer descriptions could be placed on each series' page with a more brief, terse caption in the index for each. DumlaoX, does that make sense?
On AOL and AOL's Instant Messenger: I was considering downloading Instant Messenger again, but then I'd spend hours IMming when I should be finishing a report. (Wait a minute, I'm spending hours on the CR when I should be writing an addendum....never mind.)
Ooh, yes, survey questions!
How you'd like to die if you had a choice: In my sleep, of old age, and AFTER my parents.
My famous last words: I can't think of any I'd REALLY want to say, but my favorite quote about death is "It's not that I'm afraid of death. I just don't want to be there when it happens." Woody Allen, of all people.
Favorite wild animal: The fox. I read an essay by Loren Eiseley called "The Innocent Fox" that kept me thinking even after I put the book down.
Favorite color: No, it's not yellow, it's violet. I just find yellow easy to read.
Favorite kind of car: A Honda Accord. I've been trying to figure out how to steal Mom's for a while now (just kidding, Mom!)
Halloween costume this year: If I'm lucky, Riff Raff, but I'll probably end up doing Dr. Scott in RHPS again. :)
And yet another note on Fire Storm's fic: I don't think it's all that graphic anymore. I saw "Blade" last night. Some
well-choreographed fight scenes, although I saw enough intentionally disgusting gore to last me for a while.
**Mandi glances around the non-text comment room for the first time in a while** Ooh, I like the pic of Griff. Kudos to whoever's responsible.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll go get my work done. Later!
**Another flash of light, and she's gone again. Everybody in the CR is relieved and goes back to business as usual.**

LADY MYSTIC-- Um, just in case I have no idea what you're trying to say about the site, please e-mail it to me. I want to make absolutely sure I know what you're talking about before I fix the current version. Thanx.

Hey everybody, well I--WHOA! LOOKOUT!
*SJ jumps out of the way just as a familiar Skylark nearly runs him over. It speeds past at an incredible speed*
Hey, somebody put that dog on a leash! At least give him a ticket!
Sheesh! Well, I guess since Lisa's first, then I'm second.

(Lisa walks into an empty CR devoid of other posters.)
Aaahh!! Where is everybody? This place should be packed full!!
(DumlaoX's specter appears before her and says, "I have just wiped the comment room, Lisa. Please do not panic, everything is okay.")
I wasn't panicking, Dumlao. You have yet to see me panic. Well, guess I'm first then. Good finally-got-back-to-Austin gift! See y'all next time!
(Lisa leaves as the specter fades back into the floor.)
