**Zath enters, still wearing those nifty mirror shades.**
MrNoying> The thing about the paintballs was from Daria, season 2, episode "The Daria Hunter" Wohoo! more cyber-cookies. I have no idea about the sacred rock/stick thing, but it sounds like something that might happen in The Tick.
By the way, I was messing around with some screen shots of the clones on my computer, and I noticed something strange. When you invert the colors (make it a negative), Broadway's, Lexington's, and Brooklyn's clones end up looking just like them (same colors as the original garg), but Hudson's clone turns lavender, and Thailog turns really light tan. It's really funny, you take the picture where Brentwood is sitting on top of Lex beating him up, hit the invert command, and suddenly Lex is winning!: ).
**Zath curses and smacks at a mosquito, but it gets away. Then Zath leaves, deciding not to worry about it because all the mechanical DNA collecting mosquitos were killed off earlier in the week, weren't they?**

Heather: Your guess is as good as mine.
Kitainia: I have the pic of Clan Austin (including yourself) pencilled. I will be sending a URL for it within the next couple of days, when I get it scanned, for approval before I color it. Basically, it's a group picture, and I managed to get everybody in.
Oh, I should mention this before I forget: I just acquired a color scanner this afternoon! Yay! No more 256 color guesswork in Paint Shop Pro!
**composes himself**
And Clan Austin will be the first pic scanned in color (once I have approval and it's colored.) to go on my site. Just letting you know. I'll be scanning it now.
**Coyote leaves to scan the pic.**

**Sevarius Jr. and Frankenstein's Monster are sluggishly fighting their way through the underground tunnles with Wilek and the rest of the crew toward Area 51...**
Oooooooh man...Frank, I think we over did it last night. We partied a little too hard. I've downed a whole bottle of aspirin, and I'm running on adrenaline and a sugar rush you'd not believe!
The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Yeah, I saw it last night. I tried to close my eyes whenever dad came on. My family is so embarassed....
Wilek: I KNEW IT! That quote was from Pinhead! God, I have that movie on tape, why didn't I remember it???? I love Pinhead. He really knows how to put the fun in hook mutilation. ;)
Coyote: Once again, another great addition to G:CM. Hmm...I could use a little of that DNA myself...
**All of a sudden a large, hairy creature darts out in front of SJ and Frank. "What the hell is THAT?" SJ screams. Frank, unphased, blows it up with his rocket launcher.
"Goddamn CR Lawyer. Man I hate him."
"Whew! Thanks Frank! Geez, there's some weird things in these tunnels. Zombies, cyborgs, clones, those furry things with 3 eyes and---FRANK! You--you can speak normally!"
"Course I can. I could all along. In fact, I have a doctorate in the Romance languages."
"Wha-Well why didn't you say anything!"
Frank shrugs. "Idonnaknow. You never asked." Frank steps over the twitching remains of the CR lawyer and continues down the tunnel.
"Wha? Go figure! Man, you think you know some people."
SJ hurries to keep up with Frank. Little does he notice, but the carcass of the CR lawyer is slowly reforming behind him.....**

**Mandi sticks her head in.**
**TGS SPOILERS Begin!!**
Aris--I too have been wondering where the heck Rory is, but after I pestered Todd to no end about it when "Quest's End" came up, I figure I should just bite my tongue and be patient. The consensus is that he's got to get some money saved up, make sure his dad's okay, etc, etc. before joining up for real. *sigh* I suppose we'll both just have to wait and see...
But I do agree about the recurring characters problem. I know that now that episodes are in production, we really can't do anything to change the way this season goes, but I think TGS already has enough new characters generated from season 1 to play around with--we don't need more!
**SPOILERS END**
Yeah, that's all. I still have work to do. Bleah. :)

(CR Lawyer enters the room.)
Starsinger, while it is true that it is sweeps month, all of you seem to have failed to note, that on Monday night PBS will be showing the broadway musical, CATS. You should all watch it. I have seen the actual play four times, it is very good.
Aris, while your opinion on the TGS stories having too many characters may be valid, understand that the writers will use whomever they wish. It is in their contract that they can add characters for story conflict. It would get old if the same characters were used repeatedly.
Zath, I am still rather bothered by what you did to me on halloween. I'm am putting forth motions to have you sued, due to injury to my person.
MrNoying, I will collect my fifty cyber cookies now. The quote with the Forbidden Stick and Rock comes from a classic episode of...
(Suddenly, the CR Lawyer explodes. Seems some one gave him a piece of halloween candy that was actually an explosive device.)

(Mare and Kyryn look at their attackers. "PAINT BALLS? Do you have any idea how much those paint ball thingies hurt?)
3 cyber cookies to whoever names the quote. And since I still have a quote contest going around... I am now offering a whopping 50!!! cyber-cookies to whoever can name the forbidden stick quote. This is my final offer, and the answer hits come Monday. Since so far, Ravyn is the only one to even guess, if no one comes up with the answer, 25 cookies will go to Ravyn as a consolation prize... Here's a hint. It is from a show that was in the Disney Afternoon.
Coyote- Ch. 21 was good, despite the fact I haven't read the first 20. That says something for your writing skills.
Aris- I agree. Don't bring in new cast members at the cost of the old! Geez, it isn't bad enough that there are nearly a dozen gargoyles, a handful of humans, and 5 mutates, as the supporting GOODGUY cast? (And that's not even going into the Pendragon cast) Then, there's almost as many villains guys! You've done a good job with the new characters so far, but the others ARE getting crowded out... Like Liz for example!
Ravyn-Again,if no one else can identify the source of the forbidden rock and stick thing, you get 25 cookies for being the only one all WEEK to even try...
Doug- Interesting creativity demons... And I'm almost certain Thailog wants me dead after the annoyance I put him through...
Coyote-YOU'RE TIRED? I was up for 39 hours straight this weekend, hence my reference to the idea of changing my name to Mr. Insomniac...
("Hey lady, just please don't hurt us! We were only assigned to protect the rock!" The bad assassin states as Kyryn lifts him into the air. Mare questions him.
"But don't you know that by shooting me you risked putting the rock in danger, not to mention, THOSE PAINT BALL THINGIES HURT!"
"Um, sorry?" The thug pleads, before being knocked unconsious. Mare and Kyryn prepare to continue their journey, unaware that Jim Iza Noying has already been returned home...)

**Coyote enters the room gnoshing on some leftover Halloween candy.**
Hey all. Had too much fun last night ... I didn't tell you guys this, but in the costume (which I will post pics of soon, I promise) a lot of folks coming by thought I was a stuffed dummy. Boy were they surprised when I moved! (I know, I'm cruel.)
Traveler: I did get your recruit in time. You'll be in WCC.
Gargoyles: Michiganders, it's on at 10:30 EST Wednesday night on the Disney Channel.
Mandi: Thanks for the compliments. I hadn't decided yet ... Captain Walker may have been with the group of Quarrymen that the last two surviving Canmore siblings (Jason and Robyn) brought with them. As of yet, the only other Quarryman who's been named among those forces was Sara Jasper. Though it will be interesting ... if Rosanna should learn that he was among them ... (if you can't tell, I may or may not be hinting at Volume #22. ;)).
TRC: Again, thanks for the compliments. The implant is a titanium-carbon polymer compound. Actually, Samson's was, too (he now has a titanium-steel Nightstone model). But I might be revealing too much if I tell you what it'll look like on her ... actually I haven't made up my mind how she'll look yet! (Suffice it to say, she will have a natural-looking ear, as opposed to Samson's which is basically the headpiece of a microphone embedded in the side of his skull.)
Ravyn: Once again, thanks for the compliments. Yes, Rosanna and Rain are quite the cute couple ... and as for Lina, well ... you'll know her true feelings by the end of the *next* one!
Like I said last night, I made this my Halloween fic because it deals with dying loved ones, which I find the most frightening thing on God's green Earth. Not just Rosanna, either. Thus, the reason for the revelations about Elisa and Tommy Walker, two people Rosanna loved immensely and lost to tragedy. I also agree ... "Titanic" is quite possibly the most emotional film I've ever seen. At least, until a few weeks ago when I saw "What Dreams May Come." Another brilliantly emotional film, that I would suggest to anyone with a clear conscience.
Looking forward to the new TGS tonight. If I knock myself unconscious reading it, by God, I will read the new one!!

** The CR screen lights up with a picture of some kind of awards ceremony. Doug and the other Black Ravens are being presented with various honors, plaques, and keys to the city of Austin and the UT campus for their part in defeating the Fundamentalist Extreme and closing the Hell-Mouth. After thanking Mayor Watson and UT President Faulkner, Doug (who's temporarily in a wheelchair and bandaged up in several places due to injuries sustained in the fight) wheels himself over to the camera to make a post. **
Well, I think we've driven Thailog's influence out of Austin, if everything at the Marsh Building went okay. Did it, Fleur? We have not heard from you in quite a while. I guess pretty soon we'll have to look elsewhere to see what Thailog will do next. Westgate Mall has been destroyed, and all his minions are out of the UT tunnels (Faulkner will be turning them into new dorm and classroom space, by the way), and the Fundamentalist Extreme and VCNs are basically kaput, with a few un-accounted for exceptions, like Jose, Rodney, and the three undergoing inquisition by the Catholic Scouts. Gubio has also hacked into Thailog's computers again, and discovered that Roger Marsh is in fact allied with him. Thailog has also hired Binky the Clown and his Dingaling Brothers and Tardum and Daily circus as goons in addition to several international cartels of terrorists. Whatever he and Dark Mage Wilek are planning next can not be good.
TRC: My next fanfic's going okay, thank you for asking. It won't be done for quite a while, though. I'm about half finished, but lots of college work now and in the next couple weeks are limiting the time I can devote to it. I'll post "Masterpiece" as soon as Chris gets the archive back up, and the next one, "Clash of the New Olympians," I'll try to have out by Thanksgiving.
Coyote: Good job on Part 21. I enjoyed the various scenes of how Coyote helped Rosanna be born and the character of Tommy Walker. Rose and Rain also make a good couple the way you write them. Wonder if Lina's going to become jealous. :)
Clone of a clone: Hmm. I always thought that if you cloned a human, they would look exactly like the one whose DNA they were made from, only with different mannerisms and possibly different hairstyles, typical facial expressions, and so on. Ditto for clones of clones. Of course for gargoyles the coloring also changes, and there seem to be obvious defects in Sevarius's process, even if one discounts TGC. For example, all the clones' eyes glow red, whereas in normal gargoyles only the females' do. Then there's physical differences like Hollywood's fang position, the coloring, Brentwood's very large eyes compared to Lexington's, etc. I guess one can never really tell how a clone will turn out until it actually gets made.
Creativity Demon 1: Demona goes into the skywriting business and uses a jetpack to fly over New York and scrawl "Surrender Humans!"
Creativity Demon 2: This is an excerpt from a fanfic story I will probably never write: <A certain pair of dumb teenagers appear on the screen, dressed in Quarryman regalia. "Uh, hey Beavis," one says, "you really think we did the right thing joining this gang?" "I don't know, Butthead. But I don't care. These hammers kick ass, yeah! Smash some stone, Quarrymen!! <swings hammer around while screaming manically> And Castaway's a cool dude. So's George. We belong here." "Yeah, I guess so, Beavis. Let us put on our hoods and go find some gargoyle demons. Huh huh huh huh huh."
Comments on the above, anyone? :)
Looking forward to reading the new TGS ep tonight, but of course that goes without saying. That's all for now. See y'all later!
**The screen shifts to a picture of Thailog and most of his high-level conspirators sitting around a table. The clone gargoyle turns to his two new chief enforcers, a black-armored human male who looks like a black-haired Doug with several obvious Borg implantations whose features look set in stone, and a female human-gargoyle mutant who looks just like Kitainia, only dressed in a dark blue suit of exoframe armor, wearing several earrings in each ear and bright red and violet streaks in her brown ponytail. A sinister maniacal grin is frozen on the latter's face and in her golden eyes. "The Ravens are becoming a serious problem for us," Thailog says to Guod and Asil. "Eliminate them." "With pleasure, my lover," Kitainia's twisted evil clone chuckles before the screen fades out. **

**Zath enters wearing the mirrored shades from a couple of posts ago.** Sure, they were just part of a clue to something no one's guessed at yet, but I like them, and I think I'll keep them. If no one answers by Wednesday, I'm eating both cyber-pints of ice cream myself.
Rolling Calf> Thailog Horror came from the original DNA sample that was taken from Goliath. That was why he looked like Thailog. I think if someone cloned Thailog it would look like Goliath. Hmmm... I wonder if that would be in the Ask Greg archive. The DNA was just sitting around cluttering up the back of Anton Sr.'s fridge and was about to go past it's expiration date. That was why T. Horror was so cheap (but in my unemployed state, $50 is still a lot).
At least I got to use the virus. I wonder where the fuzzy guy ended up anyway. Hopefully Kitty didn't get him. True, he's now a hamster the size of a bear, but that won't stop my little eight and a half pounds of pure destructive power covered with fur from going for the kill.
I hope I didn't creep anyone out with my last post. I did it when I was in a pretty bad mood, but I'm feeling much better now. At least Kitty's real life counterpart had fun hiding in the bushes and scaring trick-or-treaters the first half of the night.

I hope to see more of them! ;) Nice work! :) And BTW, I just saw "Titanic" for the first time this morning, and man! You were right, that is pretty emotional. I made it through the whole movie without actually crying, but then those last couple seconds where Rose goes back...wow. I'll admit, I cried. It was a pretty powerful movie!

(The Rolling Calf , Wilek and the rest of team in area 51. are fighting a loseing battle . They have suffered a few more injuries and are running low on ammunition . TRC decides that this will just not do . He opens a new portal and runs through while several members of the team shout "Deserter" after his retreating form . Raoul runs after him and bairly manages to jump through the portal as it closes .
Getting to his feet he makes as if to tear TRC apart . Then he realises that he is in TRC's armoury . "Sorry Rolling Calf " he says ," I thought you were deserting us ." Not a chance ." TRC says . " Go over to that shelf , pull the lever , and get some medkits , adrenaline patches , grenades C4 charges and all the ammunition you can carry ." . "OK" says Raoul . While he is doing all this Brian opens up another smaller portal and pulls through the second shipment of Depleted Uranium and Teflon coated steel ammunition for his gattling gun . He then picks up a heavy battle axe and another portable power nit tough this one lasts 6 hours . While doing this he opens a portal to the CR and makes the following post to the CR through it .)
Hope everyone enjoyed their halloween celebrations . I just harassed the trick or treaters a bit , (scared one half to death with a little help from my friend) I was getting ready to do a scene from Jason with the old spectre face flashlight effect and a Chisel but I had to visit a girl down the road . Stayed at her place , played some Quake 2 over the modem and watched "Bordello of Blood" .
Those were some nice Ghouls you guys came up with there . By the way .
Traveller : Not too shabby with that RP man . Pretty good actually . I ca'nt believe I never thought of doing that .
Wilek : Was it really necessary to Kill the Thailog Clone ? (hmm clone of a clone , I wonder if he would have survived anyway ) remember , thonly reason that Thailog turned out as he did was because of the mental conditioning that Xanatos put him `through , so this one may not have been bad . You never gave him a chance to show his true colours , or develop them as it were . By the way , just call me Rolling Calf or TRC allright , this Brian Rolling Calf thing does not work for me in the least .
Coyote : Wonderful peace of work you did there . It had all the aspects of a great story . Cliffhangers , loss , gain . . .etc . Although I am curious as to the nature of the implant . Is it metallic like Sampson's and stands out , or is it coloured to camouflage with the rest of her face ?
Heather : For some reason I liked that picture of Serena in Picard ' esque garb . How goes the African Clan ?
Doug : How's the next fanfic coming along ?
Christine : That was a great story . Your fears were ill founded , that story reminds me of the "What If" comic that they cancelled this year . A shame really . This story reminds me as to why your my 2nd favourite fanfic author . (non-inclusive of TGS ) . Would it be possible to order my copy of your book from Jamaica , and if so how much more would it cost ?
DumloX : I'm unable to open the TGS theme music files . Any idea why , and how I can correct it .
(TRC turns back to his re-armament and closes the portal . He looks at the pile of weapons that Raoul has gathered in the middle of the room , has a second thought , removes the over loaded laser from its socket in his shoulder and loads mini missle pods into the slot , picks up a larger more void density core with a variable power setting and a ten second force field that would just about impossible to penetrate by anything less than a 30 ton impact the size of the head of a pin . Brian opens up a portal above the the weapons , stands under it and motions for Raoul to do the same . He then Brings the portal over them rapidly , sending them back to the battle field .)

**** REVIEW FOR 'Meet the Minions' and 'Signs and Portents' ******
These two episodes had their good and their bad points. Here's my major complaint: WHERE THE !@&^$&@ IS RORY?? Is the episode he appeared in no longer considered TGS canon? Wasn't he to be a knight of Arthur just as Griff is? Yet in the three subsequent Pendragon episode he's not only not seen, but not even mentioned. WE WANT RORY!
My second major complaint is the following: The war of the fays is not a war between good and evil (as said by Una in 'Signs'). The trouble with presenting Madoc as the Devil (as implied in 'Meet the Minions') is that Oberon is not God. Thus I didn't like the contracts of blood. Similarly Madoc's minion wouldn't refer to their forces as powers of darkness oppressed by the light. In real life everyone thinks they're the good guys, even the mass murderers or serial killers.
And don't forget that Oberon is an arrogant creep as well.
Other than these complaints, both episodes were quite good, especially 'Signs and Portents', a well needed change of pace, at the same time ominous and (far more importantly) hilarious. Let me repeat that: HILARIOUS! Kudos, Christine! The mayhem in the chicken-theft is bound to become a classic. Colin's words concerning an innocent chick "It's
hideous. Kill it now." were perhaps the most amusing of them all. (But couldn't they be said by Rory? But I digress)
I have very mixed feelings concerning the Illuminati though. The all-powerful organization that controls even the president, reduced to a laughing-stock? There's nothing wrong with that by itself. Every Goliath needs a pie thrown at his face: However the Illuminati have never even approached the ominousness they possessed in the series. I want to see them do some bad stuff, and some important stuff, and some dangerous stuff. The Illuminati are ageless and mysterious and they stand above morality. Where's their mystery and wonder and dread in this story?
In 'Meet the Minions' new characters were introduced. I'm sorry to say that this seems like a problem of TGS's season 1 that continues into its second. We don't need any more recurring characters dammit. The writers can't even incorporate the ones we have already (Rory anyone? Lizzie?) and you write EVEN MORE?!? It was similar with the Harrison brothers last season. They wrote them in, and because of that the Canmore brothers were hardly used. Couldn't you make Jon Canmore be the new fay of Madoc? It's unlikely we're ever gonna seen Jon again anyway. But I digress again. My point is don't create a multitude of new characters: Develop the ones you already have. Lizie for
starters. Rory. Titania. Renard. Elisa seems stagnated. Where's Dracon? Where's the ColdTrio? Is Thailog dead? Don't you think the clones must move away from their stupidity? NO MORE NEW CHARACTERS AT THE COST OF OLD ONES!
I have to repeat that I liked the episodes a lot. I'm just complaining a lot because that's my job as a self-appointed critic. And because I'm a Rory fan.
On the whole, very good job but with a couple flaws.

**A trapdoor opens in the ceiling, and Mandi comes sliding down a chute into the room with a yell. Miraculously, she lands on her feet. The trapdoor closes and fades out of existence.**
Good morning--er, afternoon, everyone. Hey, I was up so late, this is still morning for me, OK?
**She pauses, looking around at the splattered guts and the decapitated CR lawyer.**
Geez, I disappear for an afternoon and look what happens. Seems the CR had a lot of fun without me!
Wilek--Thanks for guessing. I wasn't sure if that ref was too blatant or not obvious enough. I wanted to copy that ending, so I figured if the weirdest member of the clan did it, it wouldn't be seen as plagiarism. **passes him a plate of Halloween-decorated cybercookies** No, this isn't overdoing it. I have to get rid of all the leftovers from last night's party.
Crap! THAT'S what I forgot to send out yesterday! Talk about the ultimate procrastinator--I still haven't sent my order for Christine's book!
Coyote--Volume #21 was EXCELLENT!!! I especially liked the flashbacks involving Tommy Walker...hmm...is Captain Walker still around, I wonder? And on whose side?
I'm trying to fix my Madison drawing, and am working on Colleen and Razor. I didn't ask for pic commissions from you because, although I think you're a better artist than me, I'm guessing you have a massive list of characters on order. :)
MrNoying--Yeah, that does make sense, knowing Disney. Thanks!
**yawning** I need some coffee big time. Hope everyone had a great Halloween!

Kitainia: Oops. I meant to answer that, but I think I was running on fumes. Anyway, when I get them done, I have a room in my Gallery for the WCC commissions. Yours is already in there, along with all of the others I've completed. Like I said, I found my prelim sketches for Clan Austin, one of which I'll have to redo (Trinity was listing a bit to starboard), and get them all in one group pic for you. Anyway, it's getting a bit harder to do lately, what with RL horning in on my time (40 hours working, other commitments). But I'm getting there!!

On Gargoyles. Disney TOON channel has been running gargoyles. Disney CHANNEL has run five episodes in September, none in October, and is apparentely starting to run them for Novemeber. If you are watching gargoyles eveyday you have Disney TOON channel not the original Disney channel. That's why I was sooo excited. I don't get the DT channel.
Coyote loved chapter 2l. It was great!!

This does it, I'm changing my name to Mr. Insomniac...
CR Lawyer- Thanks for telling me what color this text is. I like it. (For the moment anyway.) For that, I'm not going to kill you tonight. Who are you? I want to thank you in person! Or in e-mail... Or whatever...
Mandi- LK2 SPOILER OF SORTS- Actually, I'm fairly sure that Kovu was Scar's son, they had to add those lines about him not being as such, otherwise the movie would have problems with family dating family. Of course,looking at all the male lions in part one, Simba and Nala are either cousins or siblings themselves... END LK2 SPOILER
Coyote- Did I recruit in time? I sorta forgot about time zones... I thought I had an hour and a half left when I read your post...
Heather- I have nothing to say to you, we just chatted longer than is healthy.
Everyone-Probably last reminder, 30 cybercookies to whoever names the forbidden stick and rock reference. Deadline is Monday. But since no one has said it by now, I guess no one knows...
(Kyryn looks over her traveling companion. "Are you all right?"
"I've been FRIGGIN SHOT, and I'm bleeding like this! What do YOU THINK?"
"I think that for blood, that isn't very blood like."
"Huh?" Mare looks herself over again, and sees the red substance is not blood, but red paint. "They've been attacking us with PAINTBALLS?")

**Enter CR Lawyer**
I am rather annoyed at all of you ladies and gentlemen. I make a polite request on Halloween for you to stop killing me, and what do I get? I was dragged into the street and shot, run over, shot again, and then thrown in a blender! And that was only the first person to attack me!
Zath, you in particular did some nasty things to my person, I shall have to sue you for that.
Mr. Noying, you did nothing to me, but you did ask me a question. The text color was Kentucky blue grass. (Yes, I, the CR Lawyer disguised myself as annonymous, and submitted the steps for the time warp! See, I'm not such a bad guy. I'm hip! Really!)
And for all the rest of you hooligans who keep killing me, give it up. While it is painful and unpleasant when you hurt me, you can NOT stop me, as I AM only trying to do my jo...

Heather: Once again, nice pic. Perfect for Halloween, I could picture Serena dressing up as Janeway.
Kitainia: Thanks for the compliments. And no, sadly there will be no "Esor" in my cycle. Demona has much more ... sinister ... plans for the fragment.
Glad you liked the bits about Rose's past. I'd considered doing another cycle (after taking a 6-month hiatus after WCC) called "The Rose of Connecticut" which would be stories about her school days (she attended a private school on Xanatos money). The flashbacks were kind of like testing the waters.
Dang .., now that I've written them, now I want to write some more about Tommy Walker and Mrs. Thorogood (who I envisioned as a Mrs. Doubtfire-meets-Owen character. After all, this *is* ... oops, almost gave it away! ;)).

** The screen lights up, showing the same old battle at the Jester Hell-Mouth. The Ravens have now been joined by practically the entire Austin, UT, Pflugerville, Leander, Round Rock (the latter three are suburbs), and Travis County police departments as well as an entire battalion of Texas National Guard (Army, Marines, and Air Force), the local FBI, the detachments of Secret Service that protect the governor and other state officials, and thousands of armed Austin citizens, all fighting the devils and trying to drive them out of town. By now, there have been many casualties on the good side (none of the Ravens are dead, although they are all sporting several obvious injuries) and all the clones and normal humans on Pastor John's side except PJ himself and the three Green Baron captured are dead. The fiends, though, can only be banished back to Hell and more are coming through the portal all the time. As Kitainia turns from blowing away a beetlelike kochracon devil with her laser gun, Shap breaks the pit fiend Sister Susan's dark blade in half with his own golden holy avenger sword. The paladin then quickly shouts out some Latin expression of righteous wrath and slices his opponent in half. Sister Susan dissolves into dust, screaming promises of vengeance and pain as her essence is pulled back to the torments of Hell. Shap smiles and goes on to fighting other devils as Kitainia starts to make a statement.**
Okay, that takes care of her. Now if we can just get that gate closed, we will have dealt Thailog a major blow. At least, I think we will have. I hope so.
Happy Halloween everyone! We just staggered back home an hour ago from a huge party at Paradox that was getting very rowdy. (Jim and Boris, as bouncers at that club, may have some heavy work to do later tonight.) It was a load of fun, but it's good to be home too and get to put my feet up, turn on the computer, and talk to all of you! <smile> Okay, let me make some specific comments here.
(Warning: Story Spoilers!)
Christine: Liked that latest story! Good lovescenes in the first part, and great dialogue in both of them. I especially liked your character development of the AU's Elektra and Jericho. And Xanatos and Fox were very entertaining in the scenes in which they appeared. Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to your next one.
In other news, I finished the first chapter of your book today. Good job so far, I like the charecterizations you're doing of Arien. And Cat is already one of my idols. If the rest of the book is this good, and you continue to turn out such wonderful products, you just might be on your way to some kind of prize. Looking forward, of course to reading the rest of your trilogy and your Incubus novel when they come out. <grin>
Coyote: Excellent new section! Coyote and Rose were very well developed within, I like how things are going for them. I also really enjoyed the scenes of Rosanna's past, especially the delivery and the ones with Tommy Walker (Believe it or not, I actually was reminded of the guy I know by that name!). And what will Demona do with that DNA sample? I hope she's not going to make "Esor," Rose's evil clone!! Aaah!! Oh well, if that happens she will get beat along with the rest of the bad guys eventually. Especially now that you have so many more WCC recruits to help. :)
(End Spoilers)
BTW, Coyote, did you get any more WCC commission pics done? Just curious, and of course I'd like to see Clan Austin!
Green Baron: Nice torture scene. Take care of those guys for us, okay? I personally do not want them escaping and having to be dealt with in the future sometime!
Spike: Nice pic. I like all three of the characters' poses and expressions.
Heather: Ditto for your pic. Those sailors almost look like real folks, and it's perfectly in tune with the anime way of drawing girls.
Zath: Sorry about your bag, and thanks for answering my question. Yep, this place is big, but according to some it is getting fewer students (to the Regents' dismay, if it's a true rumor). Wherever you end up, hope you enjoy college life. Also sorry about Thailog Horror. I liked him a whole lot. :)
CR Lawyer: I know you don't like being killed. Why do you think we do it? <insert maniacal laughter>
MrNoying: Congrats on escaping from Thailog. Wonder what he has up his sleeve next.
Wilek: Ooh, looks like you are heading into big trouble. As soon as we close the portal, take care of these fiends, and heal up, we might come to help. But I think we better head for the Marsh Building first, as there's been no word from Fleur or any who went along with her. They might also be in trouble, and I'm certain you guys can keep yourselves alive until we get them free of it. I think my biker buddies will stay with you, too. Despite the danger to them all, Cobra and Fauline's sense of honor, Jeeper's eagerness to see Area 51, Al and Dave's love of a battle, and Anne's curiosity will make them stick around. The rest are loyal, don't worry about them. Feel free to kill them off if you want to, though, they're not really involved in this RP anyway. Though of course we would all mourn their RP personalities' passing. :( Whatever happens, I wish you all the best of luck. <thumbs-up and hook-em-horns>
Okay, that's all I have to say. Now I must get back to this battle. Later!
** As Kitainia turns back to the fight, Pastor John leaps out from behind the dead dragon and aims his pistol at her. Doug, who was watching for just this eventuality between banishing devils, quickly turns around and fires at the head of the Fundamentalist Extreme with his plasma shotgun. He unfortunately misses and instead ruins the guy's propaganda-sticker-covered briefcase. The distracted PJ throws the case at Doug, who knocks it down with his nightstick. PJ then raises his pistol and shouts "Last chance!! Turn or Burn!!" Kitainia, who has shouldered her laser and crept up behind him, yells, "No, you BURN!!" With that, she scoops up PJ by his white suitcoat and hurls him into several fiends, knocking them all right into the Hell Mouth. Pastor John lands in the middle of a pit of searing flame, screaming as it consumes his body and then goes to work on his soul. Kitainia and Doug nod at each other, exchange thumbs-ups and then go back to blasting devils. But not before Doug throws the briefcase in after its owner, destroying it and all the propaganda pamphlets and other FE hate-spreading gear within. As the battle continues, Gubio arrives at the wheel of a large truck, with his cat Mist (now transformed into a big humanoid kitty-mutant a la Bravestar's horse) sitting in the cab beside him. On the side of the truck's trailer is painted the symbol and name of the Black Ravens (our symbol is one of the birds against a red circle, if anyone wants to know). The back of the truck opens as he stops, releasing Buffman, Strongman, Bevoman, Squirrelboy, the other UT comic superheroes, Green Baron and his Schoolgirl Scouts, and a large number of clerics and paladins from the churches of Austin and its environs. Gubio leads the superheroes and Mist to join in the battle. The latter two groups all join hands with Orion and Shap, then sing a chant that causes the Hell-Mouth to visibly shudder. Golden light of holiness flows from all of them towards it and hits the gate, causing a huge explosion of smoke and light. When all has cleared, the Hell Mouth is closed tight and the remaining fiends have all been banished. The remaining heroes all breathe sighs of relief, slap each other on the back and help up their wounded, and then all smile in joy that they have won. The battle concluded, they all begin to recieve healing spells from the clerics and paladins as the screen goes blank. This part of the fight is ended, but next post the rest of the story will go on! **

**Zath enters severely depressed by the total lack of candy at home and looking for some Halloween holiday entertainment. The CR Lawyer can tell trouble is coming and tries to sneak away. He manages to sneak across the room without atracting anyone's attention. He eases open the door, stars through, and runs right into Zath, who is now wearing a hockey mask and holding a chainsaw. Confused, he glances over his shoulder, trying to figure out how Zath got over here so fast. Then he realizes this is probably a bad place to be and tries to run. Zath tackles the lawyer and pins him to the ground. The lawyer is a wimp so it isn't very difficult. Suddenly something flies into the comment room and blows up Thailog Horror, who had been sitting quietly in he corner trying to memorize the "L" and the "R" someone had written on his hands with a black marker. Little bits fly everywhere and the lawyer whimpers as he gets hit in the face with Thailog's liver and a chunk of spleen. Several innocent lurkers are splattered with gore and decide to go hang out alt.psychos-with-knives-who-know-where-you-live instead because it's safer.**
Wilek> What did you do that for!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Thailog Horror was a nice clone. Sure, he needed some more clothes, but I was going to train him to make mixed drinks, park cars, and smack the CR Lawyer whenever we needed some comic relief. Not to mention he cost me $50. You know SJ's dad doesn't give refunds. Oh well, at least it wasn't a total loss. **pulls out a hypodermic needle** Anton Sr. was having a Buy-A-Clone-Get-A-Mutagenic-Virus-Free Sale.
**Zath plunges the needle into the CR Lawyer's left butt cheek. The lawyer writhes around in pain and begins to grow thick light brown hair all over his body. Zath steps back to view the transformation. Spotting Thailog Horror's liver, Zath picks it up. "Might as well not let this go to waste." Looks around and sees everyone is staring in disgust. "I'm going to wash it first." People sill look disgusted. "What? The dry weather has been giving me nose bleeds and I've been feeling a little iron deficient. Do you have a problem with that?" Everyone glances at Zath's chainsaw and shakes their heads 'no'. The CR Lawyer, now a giant hamster mutate, pulls a subpoena out of his cheek pouches, and heads toward Zath, then realizes what he is trying to do and runs out the door. Zath lets him go this time and leaves out the other door, still in a bad mood (now more irritated than depressed) but at least now in a bad mood while holding a nice big juicy liver.**

***POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR COYOTE'S NEW FIC AHEAD***
Sorry for the 2x post, but I just HAVE to give some feedback on Coyote's latest fic! It's the best yet! It's very intense and emotional. I like that. And there are very good teasers for the next few eps as well. (What could Demmy possibly want with that sample?!) Hmm...was your explanation of how Goliath and Elisa were able to produce a child influenced in any way by my own observation that gargs and humans are genetically incompatible?

Hey, guys. Just in from Halloween fun to finally give you Volume #21.
Just as a bit of explanation ... the reason I made this story my Halloween fic is because it deals with something that I personally find the most frightening thing imaginable: any loved one dying.
As always, comments are appreciated. Thanks.

[Wilek, Miriam, Jake, Teri, Anoth, Forfexx, Raoul, two Doom Commando cyber garg imps, the bikers, Brian Rolling Calf, SJ, and Frankie are making their way through a vast network of underground tunnels to Area 51, which is apparently under the control of Thailog, Dark Mage Wilek, and Dr. Sevarius.] You wouldn't believe the psychotic security they have here. We've run into zombies, scuttlers, clones from the Fundamentalist Extreme cult...this is *big*. We've barely been able to survive down here, much less make any headway. They've already killed all the Dark Star stormtroopers we brought. (Y'know, this RP is great practice for a fic cycle I'm planning.)
Happy All Saints' Eve everyone!
Mr. Noying> I think I've seen that Reboot ep. Hm, your alter ego must be *really* 'noying to tick off Thailog that much. ^_^
SJ> They were showing the Rocky Horror Picture Show tonight on Comedy Central. Dad has a very interesting past. :) You know what really scared me about that movie? Dad makes a frighteningly convincing (if rather ugly) woman. There are real women who look more masculine than that.
Mandi> The Trek ref at the end of The Sky's The Limit is a ref to the last ep of ST:TNG entitled "All Good Things...". It was the last line of the ep, and of the series.
Zath> Thailog Horror?! What the [expletive deleted]?!?!?! MIRIAM! [Miriam calls the Dark Star on her cell phone.] This is that clone's *last* day on earth.
Todd> Grand Halloween creativity demons!
Ooh, scant hours until Coyote's new fic. Can't wait...Hmm, looks like I had more time than I thought to get my new submissions in. Hmm.
[A Level II Dark Trooper droid jets into the CR and blows the snot out of Thailog Horror with a rocket launcher.] He was from the Dark Star. Cyber cookie to whoever guesses what game he's originally from. Ew, there are bits and pieces everywhere. Glad I'm not there personally.
Speaking of cyber cookies, the quote from that one post was spoken by Pinhead in Hellraiser 3, and the scuttlers are from the Star Trek novel "The Return" by William Shatner.
Y'know, as much as I love Halloween, I make a much bigger deal of Christmas. I already have my tree up. ^_^
CR Lawyer> Heheheheheh. We'll kill you as much as we like. [Wilek has Theresa teleport the lawyer into the labyrinth and throws him in the path of a scuttler. The scuttler impales the lawyer on its razor-sharp claws.]
Gargoyoles is on Toon Disney right now as I am typing this.

"Despite the fact that I put my life in danger, it will be worth it if I can get rid of HIM!" he says, pointing to Jim Noying.)
"That's a stupid question." 3 cyber cookies to whoever can name that quote. Only three, because it should be easy. And I've upped the reward to 30 for whoever can identify the forbidden stick and rock bit... But only until Monday! At that point, I'm letting loose where it's from!
Christi-Loved the Sailor Ariana, Tuxedo Grame, and Luna Nudnik pic! Fun! But who gets to dress as the villains?
Annonymous-I like that text color! What is it?
Todd- Interesting creativity demona...
Starsinger- Actually, to my knowledge, Disney has been been showing gargs episodes on the Disney channel for some time now...
SJ- You can't possibly make an uglier woman than your dad...
("This IDIOT has been hovering around me all week, thinking I'm Goliath! At first I had planned to use it against you losers, but I can't take it anymore! Take HIM BACK!" Various comments come from the room.
"Do we have to? It's been kinda nice without him in here. And Mare and Kyryn have already started a long quest to find him!"
"I don't care! Just take him back, please? I'll recall all the clones and nasty stuff! Honest!" The room considers the afvantages and disadvantages...
Continue to be terrorized by Thailog, or have Jim back? It's tough, but eventually they opt for Jim. Thailog then runs out the door, laughing madly, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Fools! I lied! I'm going to continue plauging the rest of them! HAHAHA!" Thailog is then gone, and everyone looks at Jim.
Suddenly he shakes his head, as the effects of Thailog's shiny armor finally fade off.
"Oh man, that was wierd...") Next time- the story with Mare continues!

A COUPLE OF HALLOWEEN CREATIVITY DEMONS I'VE HAD - Well, these are ones that I've shared with the original comment room before, but since a lot of the people in here came along after I originally posted them last year, a repeat.
1. The trio somehow wind up having to go out costumed as pigeons this Halloween, due to those being the only costumes that they could obtain (and they were really desperate). However, it turns out that there was a strange spell placed upon the costumes, so that the trio actually get transformed into pigeons. Then Bronx sees them like that, mistakes them for actual pigeons, and drives them out of the castle, barking ferociously at them. The trio flee to Elisa's apartment to get help, but find that she's out on patrol; Cagney, however, is home, sees the pigeons, and heads towards them licking his chops, forcing them to flee again. The trio wind up flying about the city, in the course of which they leave a few deposits on the hood of the yuppies' brand new car. (When I originally posted this last Halloween in the original comment room, Constance Cochran then suggested that the transformed trio ought to have an encounter with the Goodfeathas who mistakenly believe that the trio are trying to move in on their turf, with an epic battle ensuing).
2. Demona gets fed up with all the trick-or-treaters that she gets on Halloween night, interrupting her in the middle of something important, and finally uses a spell to turn those pesty children into bizarre monsters (obviously not gargoyles). (To which the transformed children presumably take an attitude of: "That lady turned us all into monsters! Cool!")
BTW, there's a program on gargoyles (the original architectural kind) on PBS late tonight, here in St. Louis. I'm making plans to tape it. It's called "Gargoyles: Guardians of the Gate". I've seen it before, and it was a good one.

*Enter the CR Lawyer*
I have decided, that on this day, Halloween, I should express my feelings toward the lot of you. I don't enjoy being killed repeatedly. It is not fun! Being killed hurts you know! I am only here to do a job, do not hold it against...

**All the mechanical mosquitos that came out of Kitty's white rat buzz around the comment room, getting ready to take DNA samples from everyone and restart the clone madness. Fortunately, they seem to have been made using a very early version of the technology that hadn't had all the bugs (pardon the pun) worked out yet. After several seconds their teent tiny batteries are completely drained and all the mosquitoes fall to the ground "dead". Zath runs around stomping on all of them until nothing remains but little broken bits of metal. Zath then leaves and returns in a forklift carrying a very large wooden crate. While Zath talks, Kitty sharpens her claws on the box.**
No one protested, but I decided to kill them off anyway. The CR just isn't ready for 30 Kitty clones and whatever else might have been spawned. **looks at the mess** Hmmm... I don't think anyone should be walking around here in bare feet for a while. Maybe someone should call the CR janitor.
Doug> Thanks a lot for looking. I guess I'll just have to go back to Egypt some day: ) But I was planning to do that anyway. I didn't get to see any of the museums the first time. Cairo is really neat, but you have to dress really conservatively so you don't offend any of the extremely conservative Muslims there. Believe me, wearing long pants and your collar buttoned all the way up to that little top button (the one that makes it hard to swallow when it's closed) is not a fun thing to do in 100+ degree heat. (an interesting coincidence: a friend I met on the trip mailed me some pictures that just arrived yesterday. Apparently I was sleeping with my mouth open on the plane.) I'm still a high school senior, and I haven't decided on a college yet, but Trinity looks good. I had thought about going to UT for a while, and the people were really nice when I visited, but I don't think I want to go to a school that huge. No offense, but I think 35,000 undergraduates is into the realm of the ridiculously enormous.
Spike> Nice pic! I've only seen Sailor Moon once, but that look on Graeme's face is priceless.
Wilek> <<Hey maybe Kitty and Atilla could be the Catholic Scouts version of Luna and Artemis!>> I don't think Kitty would like it, but it would be fun to try and make her do it anyway. I think she's frustrated that being so cute makes it so no one takes hre seriously until they see her in action.
MrNoying> *Homer Simpson voice* Mmmmmm, cyber-cookies... *normal voice* Wow, ten! Thanks a lot, I think I'll put some in the freezer and save them for days when I don't know what anyone is talking about.
I see that most of the people here are familiar with RHPS, but what about Shock Treatment? It doesn't have any aliens or mad scientists, but it does have incest, an evil twin, and a game show, so it almost balances out.
I see that no one has tried for the cyber-ice cream. I'm not sure if it's because no one read the book, they don't like Ben&Jerry's, or they just don't care. I'm upping the reward to a cyber-pint of Ben&Jerry's and a cyber-pint of Blue Bell (for all the other Texans here), both in the flavor or your choice, of course. I'm also giving one last clue: **Zath puts on a pair of mirrored shades and smiles mysteriously, then makes a phone ring on the other side of the room.**</clue>
**Zath shoos Kitty away from the crate anf takes out a crow bar. "All this talk about RHPS gave me an idea, and SJ's dad had some DNA lying around, so I had him do a little commission for me. Meet..." Zath pries open the box "Thailog Horror!" Thailog shuffles out of the box wearing nothing but a shiny gold speedo. "He's nowhere near as machiavellian or greedy as the first Thailog. I even taught him the Timewarp, but be careful, for some reason he occasionally gets his sides mixed up and jumps to right and then steps to the left, so don't dance too close to him. I thought we could make him the CR mascot or something." Zath runs out of the room, practicing the maniacle laughter SJ's dad demonstrated afer hearing Zath's plan.**

**Colleen comes in wearing an RHPS t-shirt, glancing around a little nervously. Seeing that no one's giving her untoward looks because of her height, the five-foot-three gargess breathes a sigh of relief and pulls a tape recorder out of her pocket.**
Uh, hi. Mandi's trying to clean her room before her mom shows up, so she sent me to deliver this. Sorry about the T-shirt, SJ; I didn't think about that.
**She sets the recorder down, presses PLAY, and nothing happens.** Damn batteries! Oh, wait a minute, lemme see... **She pulls a hairpin out of her hair, opens the guts of the machine and pokes around** OK, maybe this'll work. **She closes the back panel and presses PLAY again, and the tape starts to run. Mandi's voice speaks as Colleen sits back, smiling.**
Happy Halloween, all!
I suppose Colleen's explained to you all why this is a recording. My room is a major disaster area, and Mom's coming with an offer to take me out for real food. :) I couldn't send anyone from Denver because they'd probably break this old recorder, and MacGyver over there an fix anything that's not a computer. **Colleen snorts** Getting this on topic now!
Heather--Your folks don't let you celebrate Christmas? Religious reasons? My mom's an elementary speech teacher, and had a Jehovah's Witness in her first group yesterday. To keep the parents from suing, she had to wait until after that group was gone to put up all the Halloween stuff for the other kids.
Christine--I did get some pics from the costume party last night, although I don't think there's much of a resemblance in them. My hair decided that no curlers on earth would keep it from going straight, and the ones I got of me and my friends were after we'd led a conga line several times around the dining hall, tried to swing dance and pretty much scared the crap out of the DJ (he couldn't keep up with us!)
If I get some better ones at RHPS tonight, I'll scan them. I didn't have the time this year to be in the cast (I was Dr. Scott last year since this is a primarily female college), but I told the prof who runs it that I'd be glad to be an audience plant for the Time Warp at least. And go for it with Birdie taking the crew to Rocky Horror! They'd probably fit right in there!
BTW, I loved "What Might Have Been," if it puts your mind at ease! With me, you succeeded; I did the head-slapping routine several times while reading it! And yes, I got the
"Beauty and the Beast" reference...LOL!
Traveler--*blush* Thanks for the praise! I'm still reworking "The Sky's the Limit" because a few characterizations are a bit iffy (and the cousin that Nicki was based on has yet to reply to my e-mail about the on/off season in Cripple Creek). And thank you for the link to Dylan Blacquiere's fics! BTW, a cybercookie to anyone who figured out the Trek reference at the end! (The link to the rough draft is below)
Green Baron--Yeouch! The Catholic schoolgirl Scouts aren't pulling any punches, I see! BTW, I went back to your page with the sound on my PC turned on (had it off for a while so as not to bother my former roommate), and recognized "At the End of the Day" playing! I absolutely love Les Miserables, and it's great to see someone else who does! I saw the production when I was ten years old, and according to my folks it's the first performance of anything that I sat still the entire time. :)
Jackal--My sociology professor picked on me more brutally. Don't worry about it, I can take the heat. :) And I did finally see LK2...
**SPOILERS ahead for the film**
Okay, I pretty much have to agree with most people on the music--it was nowhere NEAR the quality of the original, although "Upendi" was okay. (But did they have to pound it over our heads like that? Having Kiara say, "Upendi means love" in the middle of the number seemed kind of redundant.) Truth be told, I popped it into the VCR with fairly low expectations of the music (from straight to tape movies, I don't expect much) but I did like the story. Suzanne Pleshette's performance as Zira wasn't as powerful as Jeremy Irons' as Scar (although that's a tough act to follow), since she didn't seem half as cunning. And if Scar wasn't Kovu's father, who the heck was?? Andy Dick was hysterical as Nuka--I kept thinking that maybe he'd learned a little too much from the (noticeably absent) hyenas. Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella were a riot too, taking over Zazu's old job. (Since Rowan Atkinson wasn't on hand to do Zazu this time around, apparently...)
**SPOILERS are over**
Christi--I love the pic!! Hehehe...Sailor Ariana and Tuxedo Graeme...better keep an eye on the flower gardens tonight, all!
Uh-oh. Mom's going to be here soon. Hope the hall vacuum cleaner is working today...Bye!
**Colleen shuts off the tape, picks the recorder up and stalks out, muttering, "Why does everybody have to keep the MacGyver thing going??"**

(All of those people in one room, defenseless? Well, that's just perfect. They'll never know what hit them..." A blue looking creature named MegaByte says while staring at the moniter. Though normally concerned only with ReBoot pages, it IS halloween and he's having some fun. Besides, MrNoying is out, and so can't continue either of his story threads. MegaByte continues speaking...
"Activate plan 314." His cronies all shout in objection.
"NO! NOT PLAN 314!")
It's Halloween! I just did some preliminary trick-or-treating after midnight hit, and really annoyed some people! But hey, the night of October 31st IS Haloween after all...
Travler-Speaking of taking a shotgun to a Mac... I'm tempted to do that to mine! This sucker just got a memory enhancement, of an extra 20 Megabytes! But now it keeps crashing! (The familiar ReBoot villain walks into the comment room...)
Wilek- Chan Isira Tating? No relation to Jim or Kari, I don't think... But Brooklyn as a Jedi? Hmm... (Megabyte motions to his cronies, and they surround the room.)
Jackal- I'm a Leo! (An evil look crossed Megabyte's face, plan 314 is something to which there is NO defense...)
Zath- I didn't have a supply of cyber-cookies until now, so no, I haven't given them out yet. But, here's 10.
And while I'm on the subject of Cybercookies, 20 to whoever places the scene with "The Forbidden Stick, and the Forbidden Rock." Not to mention the very quote, "Oh no, the forbidden rock! What are they going to do? Give me another slap on the wrist?"
SJ-I really don't want to see your dad in drag... There's a terrible visual to think about. And speaking of Rocky Horror, the Janet song just started... (Around the room, large devices begin popping up, perhaps some sort of deadly weapon.)
Todd-60 years since the war of the worlds thing? Woah... (And in the center of the room, right beside MegaByte, something else begins to pop up. The detonater switch perhaps?)
Spike- I haven't checked out your pics yet, the computer keeps crashing. But I will in just a moment... (No, it's not a weapon at all... It's, a drum set, bass guitar, and surround sound speakers?)
(Megabyte then proceeds to give a jamming rock concert to the shock of everyone present. After an amazing solo, all the equipment packs back up, and Megabyte begins to leave the room. Right before he does, he says, "I've ALWAYS wanted to do that.")

[The Dark Star shuttlecraft carrying Wilek, Miriam, Jake, Teri, Anoth, Forfexx, Raoul, two Doom Commando cyber garg imps, the bikers, some Dark Star stormtroopers, and Brian Rolling Calf and the TIE Scimitar carrying SJ and Frankie shoot off into the sky. As they do, an orb of black light envelops the mall, then implodes, leaving a smooth crater where the mall was. Brian's void density core has done its work.] ALRIGHT! YEAH! It got the scuttlers too! (They're about six feet across BTW. Ack.)
Theresa> dragons dragons dragons dragons I'd like to be rid of the Dragon Virus but...ooh...I have a thing about shots. (That's official for WCC, Coyote.) dragons dragons dragons dragons
Spike's pic> LOL! Love it! Graeme and Ariana make a perfect Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Scout. I can just see them throwing death roses and using moon scepters to blow the living snot out of Nega scum.^_^ But since Nudnik is a male, shouldn't he be Artemis (the male white cat on the Sailor Moon show) instead of Luna (the female black cat)? Or maybe that's why he's so honked off at Graeme. Oh, that reminds me...Sailor Moon fans might be interested to know that in the Japanese version of the show, there was this whole subplot that Artemis had kind of a crush on Luna. I don't know why they cut it from the American version. (You know, I've gained a lot more respect for that show since I saw an ep where they actually showed blood. I kid you not.)
Jackal> Uh, Lexington is what Coyote named his *car*.
Coyote> Check your e-mail. Hope I got it submitted in time...
I seem to remember that I owe someone here a cyber cookie from something a few days ago, but I forgot who and for what. Speak up please!
Green Baron> Lovely torture scene. Heh heh heh. Hey maybe Kitty and Atilla could be the Catholic Scouts version of Luna and Artemis! ^_^
SJ> I don't mind your depiction of Frankie. Hey, for all we know, Vic created several monsters and not all of them turned out too smart.
Rahsaan> One thing I enjoyed about Enter The Dragon is the things you had Owen/Puck doing. Also, I like dragons, but the main reason I like Enter The Dragon is the guest cast. Everyone who hasn't read this, please read it. Guess who's in it. Jonathan Frakes, Marina Sirtis, Nichelle Nichols, Brent Spiner, Kate Mulgrew, Micheal Dorn, and Avery Brooks. The real people. And guess who they run into. :) ROTFL!!!
Doug> BT thinks he's a modern day Samson? Heh. I think Jake here could take his ego down a few notches. [The massive bat-wolf mutate in back smiles and waves at the camera.]
Zath: I agree with MrNoying; it's an interesting quote. I'm using it as my quote from now on. It kind of reminds me of "Oh No! They Killed Kenny!"
[SJ notices that the destruction of the mall has lain open one of the secret tunnels leading to Thailog and Dark Mage Wilek's other bases and hails the shuttle to report his find.] Oh YES! We have them right where we want them! Next stop: Area 51! Land the shuttle! [Shuttle goes up, shuttle goes down. Shuttle goes up, shuttle goes down. Oy gevalt, Wilek, make up your ****in' mind!] HEY! Narrator, do you want to be fired from this job and go back to working at Nightstone? [Gulp. Sorry.] Yeah. Demmy's been stuck in 'that time of the month' for the past 900 years and I don't think she'd want the guy who spilled hot coffee all over her to be slinking back into the building wanting another job.

Sevarius Jr. > how about the recent Kenneth Branagh version of Frankenstein? Wow, that was a good one (except for some reason I started laughing crazily when Victor was dancing with the "revived" Elizabeth; the stitches all around her neck made me think for some reason that her head was going to fly off while he was spinning her).
New Story Alert!!! "What Might Have Been" is now posted on my site! Clickety-click! I really like this one (which means it will probably flop; I loathed Future Imperfect and it was one of my biggest hits).

GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ!
Hey, I'm just following the movies here. "Frankenstein" and "Bride of Frankenstein" both portrayed him as kinda a slow fellow with bad verbal skills--I think it helps to make him a tragic hero (and if a villain, certainly one to sympathize and pity). It's not as if I don't like the character. Whenever I watch those films, I certainly feel for him; he's the ultimate outsider. So chill, it's just a roleplay. Maybe next post I'll have him spout some Shakespeare, okay?
Doug: C'mon, like the Hulk doesn't totally rip off Frankie. Big, insanely strong creatures that are near unstoppable, who are gentle inside, but are consumed with rage and pain that the world won't except them...they're the same guy! Only difference is, Hulk's got a better shade of green and a better haircut :)

Sorry for the double post, but -
SEVARIUS JR. - Do you *really* have to perpetuate that horrible misconception that the Frankenstein Monster was a dim-witted creature with poor grammatical skills? He was anything but that. He was extremely intelligent, very articulate and eloquent, and shared Goliath's taste for Great Literature (in his case, Plutarch's "Lives" and Milton's "Paradise Lost"). You are insulting the poor fellow by portraying him as a monosyllabic grunter.

**Sevarius Jr. and his pal Frankenstein's Monster are flying away from the mall with the scuttlers close behind them...**
Watch those things, Frank! They're reeeeeeally p.o.'d!
<Ugh....Robot spider things bad! Me want smash!>
Maybe later! First, a few comments!
I just saw John Carpenter's Vampires today. Pretty good flick, just right for Halloween. And the gore! When someone gets decapitated, they don't cut away...they show it! Several "quality kills" in that movie...
Oh, and Doug, I agree, Meet Joe Black looks like a good pic, for no other reason than these two words--Claire Forlani. God, I'd sell my soul for a date with her!
**Abruptly, a tiny red devil appears out of nowhere, complete with pointy tail and pitchfork. It sits nonchalantly on the star fighter's computer console. "Hey pal," the devil says, addressing SJ. "You serious about that?" SJ blinks in astonishment. "What the hell is THAT??!!" he asks. He never gets a response, as Frankenstein calmly squashes the diminutive demon with his fist. <Ugh...Me hate those things. Worse than roaches.> "Um, thanks Frank."**
Wilek: God, that quote's a stumper. It's right there on the tip of my cerebellum...I know this! I've seen this movie before! Arrrgh! *Pounds his head on the computer console of his ship* Think, think, think!
Anyway, my favorite quote is from my fave actor Bruce Campbell: "If ya ain't got socks, ya ain't got much, but if ya got 'em, ya might as well pull 'em up!" Now THAT's wisdom :)
**Hears Rocky Horror Picture Show music playing in the background** Wha--? Dad! You'd better not do it! I'm warning you!
Dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, I don't know what this means but DANG IT, YOU GOT ME DOING IT NOW!!!
Green Baron: Ouch! Painful torture scene! I'm just glad Bernadette was more gentle with me! ;)
Oh well, I'd best be going. I still got to figure out a costume for tomorrow night. Let me toss this out for you guys--how's about I go as Kenneth Starr? Naw, probably too scary.
**SJ looks over his shoulder to see the scuttlers gaining on the TIE. "Yipe!" he shouts. "Frankie, step on it!" The Frankenstein's Monster grunts an affirmative as the TIE slowly begins to soar forward...**

** The screen lights up with the battle outside Jester. The DC cyber-demon destroys the dragon's shadow head with its Gatling gun. Boris takes out its blue head with his rocket launcher. Stephanie cuts off the red head with her katana, Lathrop blows up the lavendar head with a meteor swarm, and Keith destroys the purple head with an exploding atomic ninja star. Elena gets the black head with energy-charged blasts from her machine gun, Tricia leaps onto and chokes the life out of the green one with her chain, Kitainia shoots both the orange one's eyes out with her laser and then has Jammer fire a grenade at the head that kills it. Shauna gets the white head with an exploding atomic-tipped arrow. Doug then blows away the yellow head with his shotgun, killing the dragon. Pastor John roars at them that they'll all go to hell for killing his God's avatar (man, this guy is MESSED UP!), then leaps into hiding behind the beast's carcass. More devils swarm out of the Hell-Mouth as the Ravens turn their full attention to these enemies.**
Geez, this battle is looking like it will be going on for some time. If those Catholic Scouts or anyone else can come by and help (they're in the area and it's the decent thing to do and all), we'd appreciate it.
Green Baron: Nice torture scene. You got Roy right, he's all drunk-like and demon-posession accusing. Ditto for Ken, who is totally committed to Pastor John's cause but at the same time redeemable as Umbriel (he'll crack first, probably). Big Tommy, though, is one of those guys who claim God gives them special abilities. In BT's case, it's the ability to break flaming bricks and handcuffs with his very strong hands. (He fancies himself a modern-day Samson.) Charecterization on him is good so far, but you might want to have him attempt to break free of his confinement while preaching.
Spike: Good pic! I like the pose and expression of Sailor Arianna. And Nudnik and Graeme look very funny. Keep up the good drawings.
Zath: Yes, we practice dodging often. Keith and Gubio have a replica of the danger room in their basement that helps (in rp, not rl, of course). Thanks for explaining your UT involvement, by the way where do you go to college? We checked the Lost and Found at Jester, they didn't have your bag. Oh well.
The albino squirrel thing: People are probably wondering about this. For those who don't know, the albino squirrel is a UT student legend. If he crosses your path while you're on the way to a test or exam, it's supposed to mean good luck. Buffman is the hero of a comic in our student newspaper the Daily Texan. He's a UT student superhero, who is very Tick-inspired. :)
Todd: Thanks for the interesting info, but what was the trivia question?
Theresa: After we banish all these devils and close the Hell-Mouth, Kitainia and I will definitely come to you to get vaccinated. Dragons dragons dragons dragons dragons dragons dragons!!
That's all for now, later!
** The battle continues. Shap draws his holy avenger sword and begins a duel with the pit fiend that was Sister Susan. Orion speaks a holy word that banishes a large number of the lesser devil forces, but more surge out of the Hell-Mouth. Kitainia and Pastor John get into a shooting match while Doug continues to blow away devils. Tune in next time to see if and how the Ravens get out of this one. **

CHRISTI - Well, it looks as though Nudnik's developed the philosophy of "Always remember to stop and eat the flowers." :)
HALLOWEEN - A little bit of Halloween trivia today (actually designed for tomorrow). The Unseelie Court was responsible for two of the best-known Halloween customs: costumes and trick-or-treating. Costumes, because, back when the Unseelies were running riot throughout the world, before Oberon intervened (cf. "The Rising Part Two"), humans were afraid to venture out on Halloween night for fear of meeting up with the evil fay. So they took to disguising themselves as Unseelies whenever they did go out, in the hopes that the disguises would fool the Unseelies. Trick-or-treating because, if anything that even looked like an Unseelie showed up at your door, you wanted to give it something nice like food in the hopes of placating it. And even after Oberon dealt with the Unseelie Court, those customs continued, although their origins are now all but forgotten.

**Zath enters, followed by Kitty with something white hanging out of her mouth. Zath sees it and is horrified to think that Kitty might have actually caught one of UT's albino squirrels, but closer inspection shows that it is just a white rat.**
Kitainia> I'm just a lowly prospective student UT was trying to woo this summer. I don't really care about the bag, I just want the tickets for my scrap book. It's really more of a scrap heap, but that tends to invoke the wrong kind of image: ).
Doug> You and the Ravens must be perfect dodging machines. (I guess I'll get in on the game and offer a cyber-pint of Ben&Jerry's to whoever can name where this came from. I had cooked up a batch of cyber-cookies, but Kitty sat on them when I left them on the counter to cool; ).)
MrNoying> I forget, have you given out your cyber-cookie for the whole 42 thing yet? If you have, then everyone can just ignore this part and quietly snicker at me while I'm not looking. If you haven't yet, here goes... Everyone was saying it was the meaning of life (the universe, and everything), but it's the answer to the ultimate question of life the universe and everything. It's also Fox Mulder's apartment number if I recall correctly. There is an enormous web site dedicated to recording 42 sightings. By the way, what would your character do if he went outside right after an ice storm or blizzard? The entire landscape would be shiny.
Deuce> I can sympathize about the mask. I went trick or treating as the Phantom a couple of years ago. I'm not sure what type of mask you're wearing, but the one I used had this weird little chunk of plastic up at the top that kept digging into my scalp. Also, condendation from my breathing kept building up in the nose part and then dripping out, which was pretty icky.
Green Baron> Maybe Kitty and Atilla can team up for the interrogation. Kitty can maul the confessions out of the guys, and then Atilla can do the last rites (they'll need it).
Gargoyles related part to justify my post:
I was just thinking about that Timedancer episode with Amleth. Perhaps Lex is so different from all the other gargs because he's part troll. Or even better, perhaps the trolls are part Lex. I can see it now, Madoc uses all those spare parts that must have been left over after Lex's operation, gets a hold of the phoenix gate, and goes back in time to get things started so he'll have an entire army of human-hating garg type things ready when he needs it in the 20th century.
**Zath starts singing**
Six little dragons that I once knew,
Fat ones, Skinny ones, Tall ones, too.
But the one little dragon with the green scales on his back,
He led the others with a "Quack, quack, quack."
**Zath cringes** Dang, and it had been going so well there for a moment... **Zath looks over at Kitty who has been playing with the white rat this whole time. Zath picks up the poor thing and noticed it had an ear tag. Hmmm, Modern Genetics and Bio-Technologies Inc., I wonder where Kitty got this. Suddenly the rat opens its mouth and thousands of mechanical mosquitoes fly out. Uh oh, I think we have a problem here.**

You know I got pulled over the other day and got issued a 91 dollar ticket....., that sux! Anyway....,
<<Hi Jackal! Missed you. It's good to see that you've returned.>>
Hey, you were gone too! I don't feel like the lone ranger now! Well, I maybe late in sayin this but I'd like to wish you a happy birthday..., If I may ask, how old are ya? Why are you that old? How old do you wanna be? Why do you wanna be that old? Heee heee
<<Buick guns the engine of Lexington>>
Umm..., I'll leave that alone this time....
Mandi, I don't mean to pick on you..., but I've got to do this..., blame it on Coyote, heh heh...
<<Mandi grins and fingers, opening the portal back to her section. The portal comes and Mandi groans. "Seniors! Aagh!" She waves and hops through the portal, which closes behind her.>>
Hahahahaaa, sorry! I just had to!!!!
<<To everyone else: Happy Birthday, Welcome Back, Happy Anniversary, Good-bye, Bon Voyage, etc., etc., etc....>>
Yeah, that pretty much sums everything up!
<<Rafiki's song was not memorable>>
I hate to repeat myself but..., It's the suckiest song that ever sucked!!!
<<... The Rolling Calf / Brian>>
...? Is that just how you felt? I feel like "...." sometimes too!
<<(And the Upendi song...) If part 2 was the only one, it would be getting the same praise as the first>>
It probably would..., but in the frist movie, I liked all the songs..., I dislike one song in part 2 and hate another! That's just me though... Man I really don't wanna pay my ticket!! ::Sigh:: Anyway! Anyone hear the new Manson? I love it, then again I guess I would, me being a fan and all...., Speakin of birthdayz I had one....., whenever it was..., I'm 22 now!!! How many Libras we got in here?

Haven't seen Ophelia on the comment room, so I thought I'd go with her. Alright you dragon fans, being a writer, I'm flattered that Enter the Dragon is so well recieved. I was working on continuations but I got sidetracked with TGS. As a dragon, thought I put mention of a dragon in every story I write. There's at least some mention of a dragon in each TGS story. If you feel up to a scavenger hunt, see if you can find them.

**Inside the Catholic chapel at UT appear three men tied to tables with pained expressions. They are Brother Roy, Brother Big Tommy, and Brother Ken. Five girls stand over the three victims with gleeful faces. Their leader is holding a catechism.
"Alright Kenny. Who founded the Catholic Church?"
"Satan"
"Wrong. Ave Maria inquisition power" Ave Maria blasts Ken with a beam of pure torture leaving Ken a pained expression.
"Jesus founded the Catholic Church. Now say it."
"Never, you Pope worshipper....yeow!!"
Therese and Brigitte turn towards Bro. Roy and smile maliciously. "Roy, pray the Rosary in Latin"
"Never, you whores of Babylon....yeowh!!!That hurts. Make it stop. Wah!"**
I hope no one was bothered by such a disturbing scene. They don't normally torture people, but torture can be very amusing against those who are incredibly intolerant :)
Wilek> Actually, the Catholic schoolgirl Scouts don't look too much like the Sailor scouts. The girls resemble different Catholic ethnic groups. Bernadette is French, Therese is Bavarian, Angelica is Egyptian and a coptic. Coptics split form the Catholic Church before teh Church received their official anme, but they have rejoined teh Church in recent centuries. Brigitte is Irish, and Ave Maria is Scotch-Irish and English. She is a Methodist who converted when she was 10. I haven't really given them that much development yet, but it kind of shows their appearance. A pity I can't draw.
Get Smart> I loved that show, then again I love F-Troop :\ I liked Agent 13. My ssiter and I used to open a little compartment in the backseat of my father's car and look for Agent 13 in the trunk. It was a very silly game, but amusing nonetheless. Did any of you see the attemp they made to revive the series in 1995?
**Now, Bernadette and Angelica look at Big Tommy and give him a Catholic Bible. "Now read the books of Maccabees or else"
"Never. they are not true books of the bible. Luther threw them out......yeooww!! You'll pay for this. As soon as I get out, I'm telling the ACLU."
"However said you'd get out of here. Muahahahahaha!"

Mandi> Thanks for the link. I think that has momentarily satisfied the Dragon Virus.
Sevarius Jr> "....Fire Good!" LOL. I have a couple of friend s who were RPing cavemen once and did that. They STILL do it every now and then at strange moments.
Deuce> Congrats on the new machine.
Coyote> Kewl costume. I agree to disagree with you on Saturday night, and may the best team win. I'm looking forward to reading the new fic when I get back on Monday.
Get Smart: I loved that show.
Halloween costume: Well, if Okami and I go to an adult party we've been invited to, I will probably go as Not-So-Little Red Riding Hood and the Small Bad Wolf. The costume covers everything legally (about as much as a regular bikini) and the wolf is my wolf puppet, Stefan Wolf.
Stefan looks in...Hello to strange garg fanpeople. (Yes, that's generally how he talks. He would probably get along with Buick. I know that he drives like Buick does.
For generally wandering around on Halloween, I'm probably going with dark clothing and a long hooded cape - your generic lurker.
I'm going offline for the weekend once again (Hi ho, hi ho, it's off the Denton I go..), so Jim, I leave the adventures to you.
A small package parachutes in through the CR skylight. It lands on the table and opens, spreading packages of candy over the top of the table. HAPPY HALLOWEEN to everyone!

I think I figured out why the whole room wouldn't load last time I was here: My ISP was just in a weird mood. It gets like that.

Deuce> A great way to make your Phantom costume really realistic is to use monster makeup to gross up that part of your face which is covered by the mask (because that's how the real Phantom was). Then you can take off the mask and freak people out. ^_^
Kitainia> Kewl. Goliath really needs to learn that. Several of *us* already know how, though. Guys? [Wilek, Jake, Teri, Forfexx, and whoever else knows how unleash maniacal laughter that would make Thailog proud.] Oh, that thing at UT is gettin' creepy. Glad I came here.

If you read his stuff it's the usual length (A short novel for those of you who don't know), so you better boil a pot of coffee.>:) Click on my name to link to the site.
Also I forgot to put this back into my last post while I was re-typing it.
****So late it doesn't really matter but it's still an EPISODE SPOILER****
"Signs and Portents" was a needed change of pace in the story arc. Everything before kept us on edge, we all needed a good laugh. IMO the best line was: "So, it comes to this, does it?" Griff said, amused. "Arthur Pendragon, King of the Britains, reduced to a common chicken-thief?" I'm telling you writers I could hear this line actually being used if Disney ever did any episodes of our show again. Anyway, a little short, but a great job and a good laugh.

[Switch scene to the cockpit of Rolling Calf's mech, he's still trying to reach the button.] Rolling Calf: AAGGGHHHH!!! Jeeez those Russians, they can design and build tanks, jet fighters, and choppers like its' nobodys business but even with all that you think they could put the emergency power button in a REACHABLE place in the cockpit! [Rolling Calf has an idea] Hmmm...I wonder. *Opens a small portal in front of himself then procedes to stick his hand through it; at the same time another portal opens in front of the EM Power button and we see his hand come out of it and hit the button effortlessly. The mech's systems start to come back online, then its threat proximity warning alarm starts to sound.* [Scene switches back to an exterior shot of the mech where Wilek and the rest have finialy reached] Rolling Calf: Uh Oh... Uh... guys. We have problems. According to this a C-130 Specter Gun Ship is on an attack approach heading this way... and I'm out of ammo and running on fumes. Wilek *still battling with the hordes of cyberneticaly enhanced undead*: OK, yeah, this day just keeps getting better and better doesn't it? I mean we know Thailog and DMW are connected but where did they get something like that, and how did they get it here that FAST! Rolling Calf*smiling*: I don't think that matters much any more Wilek, listen to this. Traveler: HI EVERYBODY! You might want to hit the dirt right about now; I'm comming into range and my targeting computers already locked on that large concentration of undead to your left. *As soon as everybody takes cover the two 30mm Gattling guns and single 120mm Howitzer open up and fill the night with tracer and cannon fire. As soon as the smoke clears all that's left of the hordes of undead is a few odds&ends and many very large craters.* Traveler *speaking to the assualt team through the mech's PA system*: Hm...I wonder if Kitainia and Doug saw that? Anyway, I was just on my way back from my garage (Rolling Calf and Wilek , you two aren't the only ones with large toys of mass destruction) and heading over to the Marsh Industries building/fortress to do some dammage and leave his security forces a 'little' present after I make a few passes and run out of ammo, and then meet up with Fleur, Clan Austin, and the StormTroopers to finish the job. But I heard you were having a little trouble with the rest of the zombies and I had to warm the barrels up anyway so, I made a slight course correction and *BAMB*. Well I gota go now. So...Uh guys according to my computers you really should L-O-O-K B-E-H-I-N-D Y-O-U R-I-G-H-T N-O-W. *The scene fades out as we see the plane head on towards the Marsh Building which is on the horizion, and hear the gun fire and screams from the mall below.*
*A trademark dark energy portal opens in the CR and Traveler steps out.* I'M BACK!!! AAHHH! HA! HA! HA! Don't worry about the plane it's on auto-pilot, worry about what Wilek, S.J., Rolling Calf, and the rest have to deal with now. *shivers* Man, where did they get those from?
>Lady Mystic- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! AND MANY MORE TO YA!!!

I admit, they are a very good personal computer(If you can find the software), but just try to network those things; they would crash or freeze every 5 minutes on a bad day. Jeez... within 20 minutes of trying you'll want to take a shotgun to them. Believe me I know. The last two years of my high school days on top of classes were spent being more than mostly in-charge of the school's 60-70 power macs. Has anyone else here had the sheer pleasure of trying to network just a few of those machines together? Let alone just trying to get TWO of them to share a printer!? Whoever coded apple-talk should burn in @#*&. AAARRRGGGHHH!!! Thankfuly my senior year I was able to purchace my own computer. An IBM. I love the Evil Empire. Microsoft. (Although for network security NT and UNIX (which isn't owned by THEM) suk, but you can't beat Novell>:) As you can see I still feel quite strongly about this subject.

And even then I might not stop until I find out what part they will play if any (if any DummaloX, I said IF ANY.) in the comming war with the Unseelie Court. Oh and Wilek I really think you should L-O-O-K B-E-H-I-N-D Y-O-U.

Anyway I gota get back to the plane, it should almost be there by now. *Traveler opens a vortex through which we can see the cockpit of the plane and the Marsh Building further ahead.

(Kyryn and Mare look over a hill, and their eyes raise in shock. They haven't found Jim Iza Noying, or Thailog, but instead, they see... An ice cream vendor?)
I'll be using the orange text while Mare is the one signing in. She is a Tiger after all. (Jim's coloring is an off yellow.)
Has anyone seen the new Jack In The Box commercial with the counter at 55 days? I swear that's Lexington's voice! I know the voice actor's name, but I'll mispell it if I try, so I won't try to spell Tom Adcox Hernandez... Doh!
On cats- I think Groucho Marx said it best.
"If a dog sits in your lap, its because he being a friendly companion. If a cat sits in your lap, its because your lap is warm."
LK2-After my fourth viewing, (remember, I've seen part one 70 times!) I have come to a conclusion. Part 2 is EXACTLY as good as part one, possibly better, but as it steals quite a few moments from the original, they detract from it, and that hurts. (And the Upendi song...) If part 2 was the only one, it would be getting the same praise as the first... Geez, I'm the one who started this topic in the first place aren't I?
Get Smart- I haven't watched that show in years, though I have a lot of episodes on tape. Guess it's time to pull out the old BETA player...
Doug- X-Files premiere is this weekend? Crud, I need to get a blank tape...
Green Baron- Thailog and Jim in New Orleans? Maybe... We'll have to check there next...)
Wilek- Lion King 2 for research? What kind? (Sorry I forgot your name last time, I'm doing this from memory! Computer has difficulty switching between comment room and here... Sigh...)
Dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons... Hmm... That gets aNOYING after a while... (Sorry, couldn't resist...)
Mary- Stop being sick! It isn't healthy!
Mandi-Oh no, you mentioned Rocky Horror... That means... Too late... *Timewarp theme begins playing in background*. Ah well, at least it isn't the Macarena...
Lady Mystic- Happy Late B-Day I suppose...
Kitainia- Goliath laughing Maniacly? LOL...
Zath-"No kitty! Not the lucky Albino Squirrel!!!" Interesting quote...
(Mare approaches the ice cream vendor, who is very out of place in Alaska. Kyryn is not far behind. "Excuse me, do you know why those people were firing at us? Thailog isn't here is he?"
"Who? Nah, they're just protecting... (Bum bum BUM!) The Forbidden rock!"
"Forbidden rock? Is that anything like the forbidden stick?"
"Similar. You shouldn't touch it." MAre looks to her new partner. Kyryn smiles.

** The screen lights up again. This time Doug and Kitainia are right in the middle of a huge battle with the forces of Hell, who have allied with UT's totally corrupted Fundamentalist Extremists. Pastor John, riding his dragon and totally caught up in the heat of the moment and his hateful Un-Christian mindset, is totally oblivious to what his wife is and what he has become. Too bad for him. <smile> Doug turns from blowing away clones and devils to quickly make the following statements. **
Get Smart: I liked that show also. Starker and Sigfried made very good comic villains. And someone in one episode (an incidental character, not a regular) was an influence when I thought up Agony. Cyber-cookie to the amazing Get Smart fan who can guess who it was. (smile)
Okay, seems no one was interested in my earlier contest where I shoot over my shoulder and hit without even looking. I was inspired by the character Rafe doing that in Invasion America. I will dine on strawberry ice cream.
Zath: Thanks for Kitty's assistance. I'm glad I was able to save the lucky squirrel from her right before all that Hell-Mouth opened. I don't know where Kitty is now, though. I hope she's not causing any trouble. She does shed more than any cat I've ever heard of, by the way. <smile>
Is anyone else planning to see Meet Joe Black when it comes out in a couple weeks? I think it might be the year's best supernatural romance movie. If Hopkins and Pitt got a good script and live up to their talents.
I'm also planning to go see The Siege next week, and American History X some week after that. Edward Norton, the guy I'd have voicing two-faced gang member Edward Salton if my stories were televised, has a potentially very interesting part in that second one.
Kitainia: These are devils, not demons. Demons come from the Abyss, another of the Seven Hells. And I seriously hope some of them don't decide to also pay this RP a visit.
That's all for now, later!
** Doug dodges a blast of stinging air and sand from the dragon's yellow head and an energy beam from its purple one. Fire from the red head, ice from the white, poison gas from the green, lightning from the blue, hot sodium from the orange, acid from the black, unholy mist from the shadowy ebon, and flesh-corrosive gas from the lavendar also blast out over the crowd, wiping out many of the enemy and none of our experts-in-dodging heroes. As the screen's image fades out, the battle continues.**

** The screen lights up. Kitainia and all who went with her except Gubio are racing down Speedway Avenue towards Jester and the battle with the dragon.**
Well, Gubio is hacking into their system and finding out more. We left Buffman as a sentry to watch for trouble. Have to help Doug now and clean out the tunnels later. Judging from the data readout, this dragon is going to be damn tough to destroy. :(
Get Smart: I also enjoyed watching that show, back when it was rerun on Nick at Nite. My favorite characters were Sigfried and Hymie the Robot. Favorite episode was when Max became Chief for a day. :)
Green Baron: Atilla likes me? I am so thrilled!! Please pat that kitty for me as often as you can. I know that if his race isn't already, it will one day be humanity's true masters. (Kidding!)
X-Files Movie: You're right about it, Deuce. It was not that great at all. But it is great if you hear the "real story" that's going on behind the movie according to the super-X-phile I live with!
Zath: You know about UT and you're a Texan subscriber? Cool!! So what's your connection to the campus? Student? Alum? Professor? Just curious. I don't think Jester holds lost items for more than a month, so they probably won't have your bag. I'll have it checked out anyway, just in case. The bag obviously means something to you. Thanks for your help with Kitty. (Although PJ still can point accusations, as she only bit off one of his index fingers!)
Weird Creativity Demon: Elisa hears a lot of laughter coming from Xanatos's office. She opens the door and asks what's going on. Xanatos: "I'm teaching him a useful skill." Goliath: "You never know when you will need to laugh maniacally." Elisa shakes her head, rolling her eyes and groaning.
Dragons dragons dragons dragons dragons dragons dragons dragons dragons dragons dragons dragons dragons dragons dragons OH DANG IT NOW YOU'VE GOT ME DOING IT TOO!! Rassafrassit!!!
** Kitainia and her bunch reach the battle with Pastor John, his ten-headed cyber-dragon, and a horde of clones and charmed frat boys who have run out of the Jester building behind PJ's Brazilian b*&^h wife Sister Susan. As they leap into the fray and Kitainia gets back to back with her boyfriend, S.S. assumes her true form in a Demona-like painful burst of shapechanging! She is really a female pit fiend from the deepest bowels of Hell!! No wonder PJ got so corrupted!! (And she was the most crazed and hateful one of the bunch, too. I should have known she was really a demon!) She opens a hell-mouth in the ground and summons forth an enormous horde of lemures and nupperiboes, whipped on by hamatula, barbazu, cornugons, and spinagons (various types of lesser demons) to join in the fight against the Ravens. This is getting extremely ugly. To be continued! **

**Sevarius Jr. and Frankenstein's Monster land and jump out of SJ's fighter (yes, it's a TIE Scimitar). SJ grabs some weapons from a storage compartment and tosses one to Frank.**
Hey, Frank catch! Say, you know how to operate that flamethrower?
<Flame???!!!....FIRE BAD!>
No, no, just point it in the other direction! There, now push the trigger!
**Frankenstein pulls the trigger and a 10 foot flame shoots out of the end. Frank is at first apprehensive, but then a grin slowly appears on his face.**

Alright Frank, let's go kill us some zombies!

**Suddenly, a zombie appears out of nowhere and attempts to attack SJ. It's quickly burned to a crisp by the flamethrower totin' Frankenstein's Monster. SJ blinks in astonishment. "Thanks Frank!"
<Umm....Fire GOOD!!!>
"You got it Frank. Let's go help the others!"

MANDI - Well, I don't have any objection to a "Buffy/Pendragon" crossover, but I'm a bit curious as to how you'd be able to accomplish it. I mean, the cast for the one is in California (I think that's where Sunnydale's supposed to be), and the cast for the other is in Great Britain, so there are going to be some geographical difficulties to be overcome first. (Incidentally, I've found myself pondering the possibility of Anthony Stewart Head as the "voice actor" for Blaise, Merlin's old tutor from the 5th century - even if it could be considered typecasting).

Don't ask. This is my costume for the party tomorrow. I couldn't find wings, so I took my other option. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.
Kitania, Brian -- Thanks for the offers to help with the revenge. I need to figure out exactly which seniors in my hall were in on it and which weren't. I know some refused to participate in the wake-up call and even warned a few people about it. So I need to make sure I don't target the good guys. :)
Brian, Zath -- Hey, my cat could never stand it if I wasn't up before 7 am. So she'd catapult on top of my head to wake me up. I miss the furball. :)
Fanfics on the GFW archive are still accessible if you know the URL. Kyryn, if you want to read "Enter the Dragon," click on my name to go to Rahsaan Footman's fanfic directory.
Okay, that's all for now. **glances at her outfit** Hey, I can reuse most of this for Rocky Horror.

WILEK-- Thanx much for the URL. With that and a HTML book I have in my arsenel, this'll be loads of fun.
As for the comment room, the only explanation is that the server the comment room is running from is experiencing slowdown. Usually due to bandwidth being maxed to the limit.

Sorry about that first post .
(Brian is in a fierce battle with two of the remaining undead exosuit operators , his Battlearmour has sustained some serious damage , he is rapidly loseing power and his gatling gun is out of ammo .
Just as the zombies are about to break through his shields the sound os SJ's engines distract them long enough for Brian to drive his armour's fist through where he estimates the zombie's head should be in the exosuit , and deliver a devastating axe kick to the arm of the other exosuit , this causes the zombie's suit arm to sever , and it collapses to the ground . Glad for the breather The Rolling calf turns to the CR and makes the following statements .)
SJ : Glad for the help though you may have trouble landing depending on the jets propulsion system . And do'nt forget to give Franky a booster jolt .
Wilek : Blast SJ a landing zone if you can .
Mandi : OOH OOH REVENGE REVENGE !!!!!!!! I'll hep if I can . More than likely I'll just be sending you a list of Jokes that you might try .
Kyryn : I know what you mean , while I was in Florida my Brothers cat made a habit of running on top of me in the most ungodly hours . And that puss had CLAWS . Then my Aunt's cat decided to scae the living daylights out of me by sleeing at my back . I woke up at 2am wondering what the hell a heart beat was doing at my back .
TGS : Are we going to see anymore followups to any of last seasons stories .
LM : Your back , ALLRIGHT . (Runs up to her and gives a bear hug resulting in a farctured rib . oops sorry . Happy Birthday too . Would you be 20 ?
(Brian is forced to return his attention to the zombie he droped with the axe kick as it gets back up and charges at him withTitanium drills ready to tryand pnetrate Rolling Calf's armour . And the power pac warning light goes off showing that the pac is ruptured , causing his shields to drop th pack is about to release the remaining energy with the force of 10 pounds of C4 plastique explosive . With speed born of desperation Brian diverts all energy from the dying power pac into the shoulder mounted laser cannon . The flaps protecting the lens are insinerated , at the same instant as the zombie is blown to pieces of 2mg , as they were unable to open fast enough . This last ditch effort has left Brian drained however and as the russians stocked the cocpit to the bursting point , the emergency power switch is on the back of the suit where Brian cannot reach it in his weakened state . To BE Continued . . .)

I really need to do a better job proofreading. There wasn't supposed to be a "the" in front of "everything" in the beginning, and "clout" was supposed to be "cloud" (or clot depending on how you want to picture the end of the scene). I'm sure there are more mistakes, but like I said earlier, I'm lazy.

Okay, here's an interesting little thing I just saw: On today's episode of the Fox TV show "Young Hercules," there was a little monster called a basilisk that could spit this goo that would catch on fire. The legend of the thing was that the basilisk "could turn a man to ashes." Kind of weird coincidence, with the TGS episode and all...;)

**The scene opens to show Doug and the Ravens fighting Pastor John on his mighty robo-dragon. Just as the battle with the dragon at UT begins to get ugly, the everything is obscured by a massive cloud of white cat hair, with a little brown mixed in. It gets in Pastor John's eyes temporarily blinding him. Kitty runs in, carrying a note from Zath who is currently too lazy to personally take part in the fight.**
Wilek> Submitting myself wouldn't make for a very interesting story. IRL I'm pretty boring (not to mention out of shape and I haven't handled a gun since elementary school) and I'm still trying to what I want me CR persona to be like. Kitty is the way she is because she's exactly like my real cat, except for the bursting out of people's stomachs part. I tried asking Kitty how she got inside the lawyer, but she just started purring and then shed on my black pants. Anyway, feel free to do whayever you want to with her. Just make sure she interferes when someone (good or evil, it doesn't matter) is trying to do something important. She especially likes to sit on vital documents while someone is trying to read them.
Doug> When you've finished raiding Jester, could you please find out if they have a lost and found box and, if the do, how long they hold on to stuff. I was in Jester for the Honors Colloquium this summer and accidentally left my toiletry bag in my room. I've already replaced everything, but I had just returned from Egypt the week before and my ticket stubbs from going inside the pyramids were in there and I'd really like to get them back if I could. If you don't believe me, ask one of the science teachers about the awful cake they had at the Naural Sciences Lunch with UT faculty.: )
Let's see, how can I make this post actually relavant to the Gargoyles universe?...
I know! Yesterday I read The Tain, so now I only have one more PD episode and 2 or 3 DA episodes before I finish season one. That's right, I'm one of those legendary people who hasn't started the second season yet. Ha, and you thought we were just myths... (I'm testing my self control by seeing how long I can resist the siren song of season 2)
Okay, that's it for now. Bye everyone.
**The wind picks up and blows away the lingering clout of cat hair. At some time during the post, Kitty has climbed up the side of the dragon and is now sitting in Pastor John's lap, purring. She looks so innocent and happy there PJ assumes she must be on his side. He reached down to pat har on the head and she bites off his index finger (no more accusatory pointing for him). She jumps down and joins the Ravens. Just when it looks like she is about to bite Doug on the ankles, something catches her eye and she runs away after it, leaving the the battle to continue, minus one finger and with a lot of white fur stuck to everyone's clothes. Just before the scene fades to black, Doug sees what Kitty is chacing and screams, "No, Kitty, not the lucky albino squirrel!!!"**

Starsinger goes over to the table and sets down a really BIG bowl of candy. It's open season on the hipline until Mother's day. Starsinger sets down a large box labeled "To be opened by Lady M ONLY!!"
I wish I could help on the wings. There is a lady on the F-costume list who made a pair of folding bat wings with pcb pipes and garbage bags. If you check my triple post to S8 there is a link to her site and a wonderful picture of her in Rencostume with the wings.

DOUG RE: X-FILES MOVIE> 9/10? I'd say more like a seven. It wasn't THAT great. And actually, if you watch it frame-by-frame, the agents DO kiss! Barely. But it happens. As for at the end, I don't think they did... anything. I've also heard reliable reports that in the season premiere ("The Beginning", Nov. 9 where I live), they address the hallway scene. Whatever that means. I guess we're in for a deep discussion of their "true feelings". *rolls eyes*
Oh, I watched a re-run of "Get Smart" last night. I was ROTFLMAO the whole half-hour. The best scene was when Agent 86 is trying to convince 99 of Agent 43's capabilities.
86: Don't worry, 99. Agent 43's a good man.
99: You're worth two 43's 86.

Just a quick reply this time!
Green Baron: Sure. Go ahead. Let's see who's left... Okay, don't take Pastor John. He's in the middle of a fight right now with us. And we have plans for Sister Susan we wouldn't like disrupted. That leaves Brother Ken (who just got arrested), Brother Big Tommy (who Shap only knocked unconscious), and Brother Roy (Mr. Demon-Posession Accusation) as the only other ones still among the living. Read my former posts for more info on them, pick whichever you think the Scouts would have the most fun with. The UT Catholic Chapel is on 21st street, at the corner of 21st and University Ave. Just a couple blocks away from our fight with PJ and his mixed-up idea of the Revelations dragon. :)
Of course Atilla likes my girlfriend. What's not to like about her? For cats especially, as Kitainia gives very good shoulder and back massages. (Yes, right now, I am getting one.) Later.

Kitainia> Food Administration? That's pretty good. Of course, I might throw in the third element later. BTW, at the GOP Convention in '96, a local ice cream store had a bunch of flavors named after candidates, like Bob Dole Pineapple, Phil Gramm cracker, Alan Keyes Lime Pie, Steve Forbes with only 15% butter fat, and other I forget. I didn't attend, but I saw it on C-Span :)

As fo your case, I think it might be good to letyour parents know. They can be trifling, but they usually know what to do, from experience. Just be glad you have two parents that are willing to listen and not tune you out, like my father did to me, until I broke of all contact with the %^$^%$$#^%%!!!. After that, let the police know, and if possible, find a tactical, diplomatic, and intelligent revenge on teh prepatrator, like recommending his address to the local Jehova's Witnesses :)
Mandi> I hate fire alarms. They were pulled alot my Freshman year, and many of us at the school supported extending the death penalty to people who pull fire alarms from 11pm to 5 am. Needless to say, I will not miss that, now that I'm back home :) As for revenge, do something imaginative and practical. It is much more rewarding, when you put some real brainstorming into it.
Todd> Boreas the North wind. That does sound appropriate. In the TSR old D&D game, there was a land with that name, and it was inhabited by Beastmen, evil creatures created by the Immortal Hel. That made me think it might be from Norse legends. I like the way Atlantis was brought up. Is there any possibility of a Fey Genealogy chart?
Location of Thailog and Jim Noying> Alaska? I wonder if Thailog has a base in New Orleans. The city is so corrupt, there are bumper stickers that say "Elect the Crook". Thailog would love it there, and Machiavelli would have a field day making a story about my hometown. I wonde if Thailog would be there.
Mary Flanders> I won't be doing anything for Halloween, either. I have a Community Service even for that day, and I'll be studying for an Econ test that night.
Entity> I noticed what you mentioned about your dad's view on Halloween. I owuldn't say it's satanic, just overly commercialized like Christmas. In the old days, kids would dress up after their favorite saints and beg for candy from neighbors. Halloween means All Hallows eve (All Saint's Day eve), though now that element is gone, and probably has been for a while. I imagine you knew that from going to Catholic School :)

** The screen comes back on. This time it shows Doug and the Ravens with him wearing gas masks and hurling into the Jester building several canisters of strange purple smoke.**
This is our special knockout vapor, which we're using to cut down the resistance before we go in. While it does its work, I'll make some postings!
Welcome back and Happy Birthday to Lady Mystic!
Todd: Okay, I was mixed up. Similar names, though, so it's not that surprising. Thanks for answering my question. Hyperborea, Boreas, now I see the connection.
Mandi: I've put TGS characters and plot elements in my fanfic several times now, and no one's killed me. If you put the appropriate disclaimers in your stories, I'm sure no one will kill you either. I for one will look forward to reading that crossover. Especially since Buffy is one of my favorite shows on television. Hope you have a scene where Willow and Giles discuss magic with Emyrs. And maybe Cordelia will try pressuring King Arthur into knighting a reluctant and possibly unworthy Xander. :) If you want a Raven to help you on your revenge, well, I think Kitainia herself has already volunteered. That's good. Better her than Boris's way too violent girlfriend. <Elena and Boris both glare at Doug as he grins sheepishly.>
Yep, we got Christine's book today! Two copies, in fact. Oh boy. Wow-ie!! I am also looking forward to reading it, cover to cover. Thank you, Christine!
(Warning: Ahead Lies Fanfic-Related Material)
A Minor Correction: I think a while ago I mentioned that my character Laura's first name was inspired by Remington Steele's partner. Well, that wasn't the sole inspiration for her. Just the action-oriented part of her personality. The romance came from another Laura, true love of a certain Russian doctor whose character was one of the many who helped inspire Agony, aka Ares O'Neil. (Whoever can guess the doctor's name wins a cyber-cookie.)
X-Files Movie: I immensly enjoyed watching that. Good flick. Only gets nine out of ten, though, because of one stupid insect! Oh well, I'm sure they kissed at the end, the makers just didn't show it. Good story, too, and action. Best of all, it was also easily incorporated into the X-Files elements already a part of my fanfic universe. (CSM's in both the movie and my stories, of course, and so is Silvan. Anyone who's seen the movie and read "After the Flood" and "Masterpiece" should be able to get an idea who the latter was masquerading as.) Overall, they did a great job with it. Who else here is looking forward to watching the X-Files season premiere this weekend?
** Ricky Willaims suddenly appears on the horizon, dashing towards Doug with a sheaf of papers under his arm instead of a football. Sensing his urgency from a sentry post, Brother Guido dashes out of Jester to stop the running back. Ricky runs down and right over the now out-of-shape ex-Chiefs defensive tackle, and stops beside Doug, catching his breath as he hands him the papers. Doug looks over them and groans, realizing they are detailed plans for the Fundamentalist Extreme's super-powerful "living weapon." A very big hatch in the ground suddenly opens nearby and said weapon flies out. It is a huge cybernetic dragon with a total of seven horns and ten heads, each with scales a different color. Apparently Pastor John (who is riding it and screaming "Now comes your end, foolish sinners!"), hasn't been reading his Revelations correctly. But the beast is nevertheless extremely dangerous. Ricky runs off to get the National Guard while Doug, Boris, Elena, Lathrop, Tricia, Orion, Shap, and the two cyber-imps begin to do battle with Pastor John and his dragon as the screen goes blank. To be continued!**

** The CR screen comes on, to show a big bully named Ben Goodall who actually terrorized both Doug and Kitainia before they met, now grown to maturity and looking three times as mean, standing next to the door of a computer room deep in the underground UT citadel. His little pal Bob Meade is sitting at the computer's keyboard, going over data. Suddenly the room's door is kicked open, and Kitainia and those with her burst in. Before he can react, Goodall is downed by a quick swing of Jammer's pole followed up by a slash from Stephanie's katana. Meade reaches for his Uzi, but is caught by an arrow in the head from Shauna's hunting bow. (Whoever's keeping track, chalk off these two bad guys!) As the Ravens enter the room, move aside the bodies, and Gubio begins hacking the computer systems, Kitainia turns to make the following post. **
Welcome Back and Happy Birthday to Lady Mystic!
Coyote: You're going to keep us waiting? Don't make me hurt you. Kidding! But for something that's keeping me in this much suspense, the story better be good. :)
Lion King 2: Like Doug said, good movie. But no, Rafiki's song was not memorable. Nor was it as good as the first one.
In other news, today we got our copy of Curse of the Shadow Beasts!!! <nobody reacts> As in the new novel by Christine Morgan!! <lots of clapping and cheering as she holds her copy up> I've started reading it already, and so far (I'm on paragraph three) it is very good. Of course, with Christine, that is expected. <grin>
Mandi: Depends on what your revenge entails. Send me an e-mail about it and we shall see if I want to join in. I look forward to particpating.
That's all for now. See you at nightfall.
** Gubio waves to Kitainia, who leans over his shoulder and looks at the computer monitor. "Oh my..." she gasps in horror after looking at the image on it. "Jammer, where are we?" Jim Murdoch opens a hatch in the room's ceiling and looks out. "We're under the Stadium, Lis. Looks like the Longhorns are having a practice up there." "Great! I know just what to do now!!" Kitainia grabs the printout of the image and its accompanying document Gubio got for her, then leaps up through the hatch and runs over to one of the Longhorn football players, a tall and very muscular African-American whose hair is in short dreadlocks. "Get this to a guy named Doug Elder at Jester right now, Ricky," she orders him. "In return, I will have my friend Gino ensure you get the Heisman." The Longhorns' fastest running back salutes her with a wide smile, takes the printout, and dashes off over his coach's loud complaints. Confident no one could get Doug the message more quickly, Kitainia heads back into the underground fortress as the screen goes blank.**

Mandi- I made a garg costume a few years ago, and I had good wings made out of paper mache... But that takes a lot of time, and since Halloween is Saturday, you probably don't have that much time. Sorry...
Boy, this room is quite different on a different, school computer. Wierd...
(Mare grabs a coat, and steps out of the plane. "Why would Jim come to Alaska? There aren't any factories around here. I don't think it was even one of the stops on the list..." Her companion replies. "Don't know. But we need a sequence full of ice and stuff, like the end of the X-Files movie." "Oh..." Mare adds, wondering what is going to happen next...

On a side note, I too would like to see more of Mary, and find out what happened to her.
Also, on the Dragonking issue: Has anyone noticed that some of the older gargoyles in Dark Ages swear "By the Dragon"?
Could there be some connection between gargoyles and the dragons?

**enters, shaking his head** I hate my alarm clock. I REALLY hate my alarm clock. If I didn't live in the basement, I'd throw it out the window.
But, anyway.... I am seeing LK2 tomorrow night. I managed to get my parents to agree to a "family nite" and we're renting it to watch. I hope it's as good as ev'ryone says.
HEATHER> I already e-mailed you, but have you tried Call Trace? It's only about 25 cents, and you can usually find the number in the phone book (it's like *69, #69, or something like that). And despite my views on parental involvement (God, don't get me started) you should let Mom and Dad know. Trust me, they can do more to help than we can. Hang tough!
My page will be up next week. So far it's almost entirely external links, and very little content. (I have to use Netscape Composer on a Mac with no graphic / upload program).
To everyone else: Happy Birthday, Welcome Back, Happy Anniversary, Good-bye, Bon Voyage, etc., etc., etc....

**Mandi grins and wipes at the strawberry cream left from Lady Mystic's hug. She's already covered in shaving cream from the neck down anyway, so it doesn't really matter.**
Happy Birthday Lady Mystic!!! Hope it's a great one!
**Double take** JACKAL'S BACK!!! :) And that sums that up.
Anyway, folks, remember when we were talking about senior pranks, et al? **gestures at herself** Well, guess what the Class of '99 pulled on the rest of us at 3 am. This year I was prepared, though--the ladies waiting outside my door with water guns didn't expect me to be armed with a Super Soaker of my own. So I nailed them as good as they nailed me. I'm still kind of peeved, though--I don't have an early class this morning, but I do know a few people who had 8:15 am science classes to go to. The fire alarm was shut off at 4 am here, but in another res hall the seniors didn't stop raising the dead until 5:30 am. I wish the senior pranks would get more creative and a little more considerate for sleep. Of course, I'd be content with tying together all the seniors' doors with rope, but some of them were innocent. ;)
Hmmm...Hey, Doug, if the Ravens ever get a break in the action, would any one of them be interested in some good, clean, (although sneaky and incredibly underhanded) revenge?
Heather--I know this has been reiterated countless times, but I'm going to agree with the consensus: Call the police if this keeps up. Just keep track of when exactly the phone calls occur, the Caller ID message, even keep some of the lipstick notes for evidence if you have to. You shouldn't have to deal with all of that.
Lawrence--Kathy Pogge had to repeat this at me about ten times for me to get it straight, so I think I can answer your question. This season, I don't think there's really a difference between Gargoyles and Pendragon eps; they're all Gargoyles episodes, with the Pendragon storyline tied in rather than written as a separate series. Personally, I'm sort of disappointed because that means less episodes total, but oh well...
Lion King 2--I still have to rent it. Maybe I'll get to the video store tonight or tomorrow morning. Actually, most of the "spoilers" in people's reviews haven't told much more than the magazine review I read on it. I figure it's got to be better than "Return of Jafar" was.
Halloween costume--Does anyone have any tips on how to make a wearable pair of Garg wings, especially if you're not much of a seamstress? (Note: I have NO access to a sewing machine!!) The Commuter Council's hosting a Costume Ball tomorrow night, and I think I know what I'm going to be. The challenge is making the wings (I don't need a tail for this costume).
Eddie--New fic?? What?? Forget waiting for the GFW archive, SEND ME A COPY!!! (No, I'm not patient. So?) :)
Coyote--Got a side note about Colleen I need to mail you about for WCC. Sorry, but it makes her usefulness a little clearer. :)
Anyway, I got a very ODD idea for a Buffy/Pendragon crossover. (Should I say more? Naah.) But if I do write it, an advance plea to the TGS staff: Please let me live!!
Mary--Yeah, I wonder what happened to her. **meaningful glance at the TGS people** Hint. Hint.
**Mandi grins and snaps her fingers, opening the portal back to her floor section. Through the portal comes the strains of "1999," and Mandi groans. "Will you guys STOP PLAYING THAT SONG?? Seniors! Aagh!" She waves and hops through the portal, which closes behind her.**

There, that's better.
Update: I'm finished with Volume #21. But you still can't read it until midnight Halloween (editing, y'know?). Anyway, I will use the next couple of days to attempt to catch up on the numerous WCC commissions.

DOUG - "Hyperborea" comes from Greek myth, where it was supposed to be a land beyond the North Wind (that's literally what "Hyperborea" means) sacred to Apollo. I used the name in the flashbacks in "The Rising" since it seemed an appropriate name for the Age of Atlantis. (Oh, and the land in the Conan stories is "Hyboria", not "Hyperborea"). We may provide you with further information about where Hyperborea fits into the TGS Universe in later episodes - or then again, we might not.

Hi everyone! I've missed you all! <hugs everyone>
Welcome back to any and everyone who's returned during my absence. And welcome to any and every new member of the family from the past month or so. :)
I haven't had time yet to read the past few weeks of archived CRs and the past four TGS stories. But I had a little spare time and I thought of stopping by.
It's my birthday today! <giddily jumps about momentarily>
I'm now that age that isn't quite a teenager yet isn't entirely an adult.
Hunter Fire Storm sure can kiss! Well, but Bubba sure has a way with words! <Blushes as she swipes more remnants of the strawberry cream pie into her mouth. Yummmm.>
Hi Jackal! Missed you. It's good to see that you've returned. :)
Well I have to go. Hope to get a chance to stop by more often. See ya!

(A female, anthromorphic tiger steps into the room. She is wearing a basic black outfit. Her name is Mare, and she is looking for someone. "Has anyone seen my boyfriend Jim?" she inquires. "He normally wears a fairly stylish jacket, and is easily distracted by shiny things. He came here yesterday, and dissapeared. Anyone know where he is?")
For whoever it was that brought up Sata's devious streak- Blast it, if it wasn't that story, which one was it? The scene seems familiar, I guess I'll just have to reread all the Time Dancer eps later...
LK2 for research? What kind?
SJ-Frankenstein's monster is still interesting... But where the original LK is concerned, what are you talking about, could have been 2 hours... Should have been 3 hours! And, to the best of my knowledge, the original pulled in 328 million domestically, and something like 700 million world wide. And the video sales outdid that in the first day...
Jackal-Upendi doesn't hurt nearly as much if you just think of it as a bad version of "Under the Sea" with a different accent...
(Mare waits for an answer. "All right, somebody must have seen Jim dissapear. I'm not leaving until someone tells me where he went." A determined look crosses her face, and she sits down by the front of the door, and waits.)

** The screen lights up. Doug and the other Ravens have reached the Tower's observation deck and taken out four clone snipers. The campus is now safe to walk around on below.**
Hmm, no sign of PJ, his hell-spawned b*^th wife, his assistant Brother Ken, Brother Roy (who is known for blowing off challengers to his speeches' doctrine with claims his opponents must be posessed by demons), or that ex-football player turned extreme psycho fundamentalist Brother Guido. Wonder where they're hiding themselves...
Brian: Well, I just had to throw that in. Brother Sam is the member of PJ's coven who is ALWAYS waving his sign around whenever we see him. That or dragging a big wooden cross around behind him as he walks across the campus preaching. People keep reminding him that Jesus's cross didn't have a little roller mounted on the end of it for ease of handling, but he doesn't listen. Poetic justice and all that is what justified his impalement. <grin> Do we enjoy killing? I don't know. I know I don't, and Kitainia doesn't. I'm not totally sure about the others, especially our new member Elena. But you can be assured that we don't just go around killing people. Every time we do it, the guy deserves to die and it's necessary and for a good cause. :) Thanks for helping us out with your mega-Gatling gun.
(Movie Spoiler Alert!)
Lion King 2: Just finished watching it for the first time. It didn't have near the impact of the original, but it was still a good story. Timon and Pumbaa were funny as always, and I liked Scar's mate as a villainess (her name is escaping me). Simba's daughter and Scar's son also made a good couple, and excellent hero and heroine. I also think I've changed my mind about who I'd want for the voice of Laura James (Agony's best friend, confidante, and love interest) if my fanfic stories ever got made into actual cartoon episodes. Neve Campbell has the perfect curiosity and courage emotions in her voice. At least she did in the movie.
(End Spoilers)
Brian: About that crackhead... I suggest you call the police with an anonymous tip about him if you're really worried. If they do find crack in his house and the drug laws over in Jamaica are anything like they are here (or even better, like they are in Taiwan, where drug trafficking carries the death penalty), you shouldn't have to worry any more. Or failing that, just have your pal Jebediah pay the crackhead a visit. :)
That's all for tonight. Later!
** Brother Ken suddenly leaps out from the stairwell behind Doug, aiming a pistol at him. Doug flicks his hand over his shoulder and fires a burst of webbing that ties up Pastor John's assistant and makes him unable to pull the trigger without Doug even having to turn around to aim it. (Cyber-ice cream cone to the person who guesses what recent cartoon show I was inspired from which to do that.) The Ravens then turn around and glare at Ken. "Talk!" snaps Elena. The jerk immediately begins spouting off his usual strings of vile condemnation rhetoric. Doug points his shotgun at Ken's chest and says, "She meant tell us about your boss's plans, pal. I saved your life in the CR once, remember? You owe me!" Ken shuts up, thinks for a second, then nods and begins talking. He tells Doug that Pastor John has already vacated the Tower through a secret tunnel, because the opposition of some people named Gramm and Atilla was too tough for him. His wife went with him. Ken thinks they may be headed for the Fundamentalist Extreme's backup target, which has also been seized by an army of Bible-spouting clones and the members of two fraternities Thailog hypnotized through mind control drugs in the beer served at their parties. The forces there are under the command of Brothers Roy and Guido, the target is Jester Dormitory. Doug nods, thanks him, and then radios Kitainia to tell her he and his team, having cleaned out the Tower, are now headed for Jester. After getting her acknoweldgement, they leave the observation deck and head back towards the elevator. As the image fades away, the UTPD SWAT team members cut Brother Ken out of the webbing, read him his rights, and then handcuff him. Looks like this one's going to wind up in prison!**

Punners : FOR THE LOVE OF GOD , STOP!!!!!! . It hurts .
Heather : I really know how you feel . There's a crack-head who I offended by not letting him hold my Metal T-square and then walking away . He followed me and I had to duck into a Baskin' Robbin to avoid my uncertain fate . Then this year he either bent a metal baseball bat or broke a wooden one in the ribs of a guy who had picked on him 4-5 years ago . Now I hear he lives along the path that I walk home on and that he plans to kill me , so if I stop posting for a couple months you'll know what happened . Doug's advice is the best I've heard of though you might try getting that telephone service where you can call back the caller .
TGS : I really want to see the sequel to "For old Times Sake" as well . Since you starting TD later than Gargoyles , will it finish later as well ?

He's wearing a fighter helmet that doesn't quite fit his square head, and a bomber jacket that's bursting at the seems from his muscles.**
You all set, Frank?
<Ugh.....Seat belt good!>
Alright, get ready, once this baby gets warmed up, we're off to blow stuff up real good!
<Maximum destruction...Good!>
Yeah, Frank, in this case it is.
Jackal: Man it hasn't been the same without you! You had us all worried there for a while. Sorry about your medical problems, I know how that can go. Glad to have you back.
Lion King 2: Hmmm...I might give it a look. At the risk of infuriating many here, I thought....well, as good as the first movie was, well, I didn't understand what the fuss was about...I liked the film very much, but I don't know why it made, like 200 mill...I thought the film was a little rushed. They could have easily gone 2 hours, instead of just 1 1/2....Now Aladdin, that's my movie!
<Uhh....Must go crush clones now.>
Alright, Frank I get the picture. I'd best stop jawing with the public. Well, off to fight the bad guys! A hero's work is never done!

** The screen lights up. Doug and those with him have reached the Tower's main elevator. Guarding it is Brother Jay, the only member of the Fundamentalist Extreme who has trouble remembering hate-filled Bible verses. He is currently being given yet another crash course in them by Brother Glen, the one who remembers them the best. That's until Tricia garottes Jay with her chain and Doug shuts Glen up with a shotgun blast. The Ravens then all get on the elevator. **
Going up!! This part of the saga is going well so far, thank goodness.
Wilek: Thanks for taking down Gulliermo. I guess Jose is still around, though. Right? Thanks also for all those new elements you brought into this. I knew that robbery wasn't just a coincidence! I called Shallow Mouth about the Playstation game, he knows nothing about it. So it wasn't him. Interesting. We'll have to pay Area 51 a visit and kick Thailog out of there once we get rid of all his bases and allies still in Austin, Texas.
Heather: Ack, sounds like you're in deep trouble. I've never had to deal with anything like what you're going through, so sorry but I don't know if I can help that much. I would recommend, though, telling your friends about it. Maybe one of them could provide a list of suspects (friends hear lots of things, you know), in addition to moral support. Also act like you're not worried about it. The prankster is probably trying to get your attention in a bad way, and if he finds out it's not working, he might stop it.
Mary: I too want to see what happened to Quinn Ramsey.
A question for the TGS Staff: In The Rising, a country named Hyperborea was mentioned. Is that a reference to the country of Hyperborea as in the stories of Conan the Barbarian, or something else?
Lawrence: It's both. This season Gargoyles and Pendragon are in continual cross-over.
That's all for now. See everyone again next post!
** The elevator doors open to reveal Brother Sam (The FE's resident flyer-passer and sign waver), Brother Justin (one of their only two student members), and Sister Sara (the other one) pointing machine pistols at the Ravens. The SWAT teams with our heroes put up their bulletproof fiberglass shields to stop the volleys of flame as the Ravens hurl grenades over the barricade to take down the enemy and turn up their walkmans to tone out the evil rhetoric spouted by them. Justin and Sara are killed by the grenade blasts, and Boris leaps over the shields and shoves the dazed Sam out a nearby window, for a thirty story fall that ends with his broken body crushed on the ground and impaled on the end of the picket-sign with "The wages of sin is death" on it he was holding out before him. "Ouchie," chuckles an onlooker. The Ravens then run out of the elevator and up the stairs to the Tower's observation deck as the picture fades away.**

How's everyone doing? I'd like to congratulate Christine on an egg-celent job with Signs and Portents. It was good to see the light-hearted tone of the story taking a break from the darker episodes we've had lately.
I also want to say I am looking forward to the new season of Timedancer. I admit that I am looking forward to seeing more of the characters from 'For Old Times Sake' but I also think that it would be interesting to see more of what happened to some of the other characters introduced. I think it would be interesting to see what happened to the mining colony from 'Games without frontiers.' Also, we know that at some point Brooklyn will meet the future clan before the events in 'Requium.' Of course, I won't be angry if we don't see them, but I think it would be cool.
Well, That's all I have to say about that. Bye all.

[Wilek, Miriam, Jake, Teri, Anoth, Forfexx, Raoul, two Doom Commando cyber garg imps, the bikers, some Dark Star stormtroopers, and whoever else is here is on their way out of West Gate Mall.] We've set explosives all over the place and we're going to blow it as soon as we're out. Miriam had the Dark Star send a Lambda-class shuttle for evac. (If it were an emergency, we would have called Brian.) I'll reveal the dire news as soon as I finish this post. By the way, we ran into Guillermo. He called Miriam "sweet cheeks". [Miriam holds up something red and dripping.] This is his aorta.
Heather> Oh man, I hope those psychopaths don't end up hurting you or your friends. I have a friend who went to school with those sorts of people. He ended up leaving, and regularly fantasizing about killing them all because they tried to kill him so much. (I'm not kidding. He once came within a hair's breadth of being pushed down a flight of stairs, and no one's sure if he'll ever quite recover from multiple impacts by basketballs that were repeatedly thrown at him.) If you need help, ask Jackal to write you a poem... >:D Or I could if you like, but I wouldn't use profane language. (Of course, you could add that before you print...) And it would probably be blank verse, i.e. unrhyming poetry.
Kitainia re Sata> I remember that ep (Buccaneer), but it's not the one I was talking about. I don't remember the name of the one I was referring to.
Dumlao> <<It's a web tracker...>> Big Brother is watching you... :)
Zath> Thanks for Kitty, but maybe you yourself could submit her so you could take all the credit. (Unless there are issues that keep you from doing so, in which case I'd be glad to help.) I like that little cat; I like her style. How the !@#$ did she get inside the Lawyer?! :)
Oh, I almost forgot: As of midnight tonight, only 2 more days until Halloween, Coyote's new fic, and the WCC deadline. I got it right this time! (I think...)
Lion King 2> Haven't seen it yet, but I think it'll be great. Besides, I need to see it for research...
Well, Doug and Kitainia, my news. Four different parts, actually.
1> There's someone in Thailog's organization who wants out and wants him taken down. That person managed to encode the orgnization's entire plan on a copy of a PlayStation game. Guess who ended up with that copy. That's right Doug, the robbery wasn't a random act of idiocy.
2>There's a whole network of underground tunnels connecting this mall, the UT campus, and the Marsh building. This network connects with a worldwide network of tunnels that lead to complexes like this all over the world.
3> Remember Jeeper's theory that Groom Lake was involved in all this? It's not so crazy. Thailog has gained control of the entire Groom Lake/Area S4/Area 51 complex. He's using it as a landing base. For what, you ask?
4>There's mention of modifying a craft to evade the sensors of an orbital installation. There are sketches, photos, and diagrams here of said installation. That installation is the Dark Star. I don't know how, but Thailog knows about the Dark Star. He doesn't know much about it, but the fact that he knows of its existence at all indicates that he's into something a lot bigger than we thought. BTW, the Dark Star is run by Miriam's organization, and they've decided that since they're now directly involved, this is well within their jurisdiction. We'll be getting a lot more help now.
I'm not sure how we're going to proceed now. Probably after we're done here, we'll hit the Marsh building. [Wilek and etc arrive at the shuttle and get aboard. The shuttle lifts off and transmits the destruct command to the bombs. They don't blow.] What?! Oh, no...the Vayas Comos Ninjas must have sabotaged the bombs. Back down everyone. [The shuttle lands and everyone returns to the mall.]

(Jim Iza Noying is no where to be seen. Instead, his sister Kari Kanbea Pest walks in. "All right Jim, I know you're hiding in here some place! Don't think I believe for a moment that you got on an airplane to go find some evil clo..." Kari pauses, as she realizes that everything she says is being sent to the chatroom...)
Lion King 2-Just finished my third viewing. Still good, though some of the tributes to the original are a bit blatant, and one particular song is too heart filled. The song is okay, but the hearts... More than that I can't say, because there are others who haven't seen it yet.... But it was a worthy sequal, equal to the original.
Hmm, the hidden message in part one was actually SFX... Now that sounds more like the Disney I know...
As far as the Brooklyn being embarrased issue... I seem to recall that story as well. But lets not forget, he was also fairly embarrased in "For Old Time's Sake"... Speaking of which, SEQUAL, COME ON... What, there were problems last season but the story is coming... Okay, never mind the petition and burning torches then... Just hurry up with season 2! January is too far away!
Jackal-You still don't know me, I'm kinda new here. I missed out on your hunt, whatever was involved with that...
Christine- Chicken puns? What chicken puns? Oh, THOOOOSE chicken puns...
Heather- Scary stuff. Call the police if it keeps up.
Well, that's about it for now...
(Kari pauses in middle of her Kareoke version of that blasted Titanic song when she sees a smurf. "Ah, geez! I thought this was a gargolye sight! What are those doing here?" Kari runs out screaming, planning never to come back to the comment room. She'll send Jim's girlfriend to look for him...)

Zath> YES! I remember SledgeHammer! That was my favorite show when it was on!!! The vampire episode really scared me, but my favorite was the one where his partner gets hit over the head and suddenly starts acting like SledgeHammer. Cool! I've never known anyone else that remembered that show...very cool...:)
LION KING II> A _very_ good movie! A lot of sequels nowadays are much worse than the original movie, but this one was actually worthy of being the sequel to one of the best movies ever. It was really great seeing all the characters again and all the new ones too! Zira was a great bad guy and Kovu was just adorable...And ya'll didn't like the 'Upendi' song? I thought it was kinda sweet, even though the whole movie was _way_ over the cuddle limit, even for a Disney movie...;)

Wilek> You can use Kitty in WCC if you would like, but I don't think she would take sides. She mauls, mangles, maims, and sheds on anyone, regardless of age, gender, political party, or planetary origin.
**Just as the Lawyer reaches Zath, he clutches his stomach and collapses. Kitty (speak of the Kitty and she appears) bursts fourth out of his chest a la Alien. She chews on the lawyer's head, sheds on the parts of the lawyer's suit that aren't covered in blood, and then ignores the twitching corpse.

** The screen lights up. Kitainia and her bunch of Ravens are leaping down into the underground base beneath UT through a hole they drilled. As they walk through the base, blasting the small number of Thailog's men that get in their way, Kitainia makes the following replies and announcements.**
Wilek: Glad they're helping so much. I see Fauline took my advice and had Orion bless her chain so it could work on undead like that. :) If a certain thug of Thailog's named Rodney Schuler shows up, watch out for him. Because the bikers beat the living hell out of him and his buddies the first time they met (it was all over me, of course), he'll probably have a score to settle with Cobra.
Coyote: Yep, I'll miss you too. Hope you return soon and looking forward to reading the story.
Heather: You've gotten death threats? Oh man, wonder if you have a guy like my ex-boyfriend and career prankster Jerry Bennet at your high school. He used to do a lot of that to people, and so did his best friend Tom Worrell. I know how bad it can get you stressed out. If you need to vent, feel free to e-mail me.
"For Old Time's Sake:" I also want a follow-up to that episode. Who the heck is that Sorcerer?
Atilla: Thanks for bringing in the other half of what could have been called the Food Administration (Dole Pineapple, Gramm Cracker, ha ha). His banter with PJ is very funny. You win the cyber-cookie for guessing why we had Avery carry off the oldest and second most hateful member of Pastor John's coven (yes, he really is named Enoch). We both enjoy very much Spike's stories.
Sata: Well, she is a warrior and all, she did literally knock Brooklyn out the first time she met him. Does she have a freaky side, though? I'm not sure. Maybe. I seem to remember in that episode, though, that she was making reference to a friend of this female pirate captain's who according to said captain was her sister. Then in the adult version of the story she whispers to Brook that the girl wasn't the captain's sister at all. I wonder if...well, if it was what I'm thinking, Brooklyn certainly had a right to blush like that. :)
Okay, that's all for now. Later!
** Kitainia and the Ravens turn the corner to find Rodney and his five pals beating up a young UT student in a cape and cowl made out of towels who is whining, "Stop hitting me!! You don't want to hurt me!! I am the UT student comic superhero Buffman!!" The thugs only laugh as they keep punching him. Kitainia waves at the cyber-demon and Alex, then all three of them fire at the bad guys, taking down all of Rodney's pals except himself and his friend Felix. They turn and run away, screaming about demons. The Ravens rush up and help Buffman back to his feet, Jammer applying bandages from a medkit. "You're an idiot, Buffman, you know that?" Stephanie growls at him. "No, I'm a superhero," he says in reply. "I was down here trying to get rid of the thugs who've been breaking into student residences in the UT area recently. No luck finding them, but I did find their computer room." "Really?" says Kitainia. "Where is it?" Buffman points and leads them down a corridor toward a doorway as the image fades away. **

Regarding "For Old Time's Sake" or Brooklyn's Egyptian adventure:
Actually, there was a follow-up story scheduled where Brooklyn returned to Egypt to confront the villain of "Old Time's Sake" but unfortunately, difficulties arose with the writer and it was necessary to drop that episode for last season due to the large amount of writing that was left to be done on it. It's entirely possible that this missing Egyptian episode may reappear THIS season when TimeDancer premieres this coming January. That's the nice thing about time travel -- you can be anywhere and all at once!!

<<You probably need to peruse the four new TGS episodes.>>
Yes. I do. As soon as I'm finished typing this, that's gonna be the frist thing I do...
<<Wait a sec , you were in the hospital for two months?>>
Nah, I was in and out in a couple weeks..., (as I remember), But..., you know how medical bills go, me and my suga-lump, we had to let a few things go, in my case the Internet. Anyway, the situation gave me and my mate a renewed love for each other, and we're talking about having a "human" wedding, instead of the "gargoyle" one we already had.
<<Me and my friends have gotten letters in our lockers with "death" in each sentence.>>
This reminds me of a particular situation about 4 or 5 years ago..., I remember a certain someone gettin these kinds of letters.., when she told me about it, the frist thing that went thur my mind was "Cool". So, me and her got together and left him alittle note on her locker, it was a poem we came up with called "See you in Hell M*****f*****". I don't really remember it now, but it was cool!!!! In our case, the dude quit, I guess we really freaked him out, I mean, this was a really sick poem, I wish I could remember it.... It's probably a good thing I can't, I wouldn't want yall to know how evil and twisted I can be!
<<As far as Timedancer... I still want to see a follow up to "For Old Time's Sake"... It's not a demand, just a reasonable request.>>
Hell yeah! Demand it!! The follow up to that story is one of the reasons I got back online, do it man! Do it!!!
<<Lion King 2- Worthy sequal...., Judge for yourself. The only thing that irked me was Rifiki's song>>
I saw the movie last night, to me it was more of a love story. In my humble opinion... Rafiki's song SUCKED!!!! Anyway, I think Neve Cambell did pretty good in this movie..., I don't know, yall watch it and let's hear your thoughts....
<<I feel REALLY bad for not Snail-mailing you!>>
No. Don't. For all you know, I could've been dead!! And I never woulda answered ya!!
So yall had a hunt goin, huh? Being I have long, dark hair, that would make me a "black-backed" jackal, hunting us is illegal, heheheheheheeeee Since I'm outta season, I guess I'm safe....., for now. OK, I've been typing to much, I wanna read!!!

Dumlao I just came in the front door and the counter now still sits at 222222. The boxes have numbers this time but they don't change.
AotN The SCA is a medieval recreation and reconstrution group. Their time period goes to 1600 and you can choose your time, place, and persona. The depth levels run from the authennticity nazi's to the weekend party group and all levels of study inbetween.
Aptgard are more fantasy fighters with use of magic and the like. A lot more relaxed than SCA. Both are great groups if you like to get out of the mundane life for a few hours.

[Wilek, Miriam, Jake, Teri, Anoth, Forfexx, Raoul, two Doom Commando cyber garg imps, the bikers, some Dark Star stormtroopers, and whoever else is here is tearing through West Gate Mall, taking down Vayas Comos Ninjas right and left.] We've determined that one of the conspiracy's Austin wing's three main computer centers is somewhere in this mall, in a secure location, and we're going to try and break into it. Most of the VCN's we've encountered so far have been either cyborgs or zombies; I think Thailog, Sevarius, and Dark Mage Wilek have stepped up their operation. I couldn't resist stopping by the book and electronics stores. ^_^ Oh, BTW Kitainia, your biker buddies are very impressive fighters.

FS> <<Adding lemon juice to milk makes it curdle.>> Did...you find that out by personal experience? o_O
Jackal> So you're the guy we've heard about from Fire Storm. Well, I've only been here a few months, so I've never seen you here before now. Glad to meet you, and welcome back!
Doug re the rooster conspiracy dude> Read Merlin Missy's "Forever". Quite carefully. That's all I'm saying just now.
MrNoying> Actually, the hidden message in the clouds in that one scene from The Lion King was SFX, sort of a tribute to the sound effects department; some psycho misinterpreted it.
Random thought> I seem to remember a Timedancer ep in which Sata, before she and Brooklyn were married, whispered something to him that made him blush even redder than he already is. And I'm guessing he doesn't embarass too easily. Could Sata have something of a freaky side or am I completely wrong (hopefully the latter)?
Brian> Whoa, pretty extreme gear. Where are you sending it?
Rev. Attila> "St. Garfield"? Doesn't someone have to be *dead* to be a saint...? :O (Oh, man...requesciat in pace, dear and noble feline...you will be missed...)

[Everyone circles the enforcer, ready to attack. Before it can do anything, Kitainia's pal Fauline leaps up and wraps her chain around its neck. It dies of asphyxiation.] Ooh, I like your style. Hmm, I didn't know zombies needed air. [By now, the imps are through the door.] YES! Come on, everyone! [An imp cyberjacks into the computer, bypasses the security lockouts, and shows Wilek the files relating to the conspiracy's plans. He grows ever more horrified as he reads them.] Aw, sh--This is big. Really big. Upload that to the Dark Star and set some explosives around here! We have to get this info to Doug and Kitainia.

Like Brian said, your disappearance gave me somthing to write about. I started a hunt to find you, and ended up writing some rather twisted stories. My link you to the stories, but wait until I update my page within a day or so (Upload problems). The updates will have the Blaiseism's included.

**The tension has mounted as Phil Gramm and Pastor John are glaring at each other. "You think you can intimadate me, you goober. You're nothing but one of those bleeding-heart liberal Republicans..." A thin older cat wearing a clerical collar jumps out of the sky and scratches up Pastor John's face. It's Reverend Attila the Hun, Minister of the Universal Life Church and St. Garfield. "I am Reverend Attila and you sir are a disgrace to the cloth."**
Hey, Doug. Now you have soem more help from the Religious Center-Right :) I'm surprised you didn't comment on Phil Gramm. I threw him in there just for all the Texans in the CR :)
MrNoying> Yeah! Why not Phil? Just wait to see who else makes a guest appearance and throws in one of their famous sound bytes!
Jackal> Welcome Back. Sorry to hear about your Health problems. There was a hunt for you a few months ago. It was most amusing.
Doug> Enoch Jones was the preacher who killed Spike and who was eventually gutted by Boo. He is also a pre-flood patriarch, so Christi really researched her Bible, and her background may have helped with some of those names.
**Pastor John throws Attila off his face as his face is covered with cat scratches. Now, he takes out his own gun (furnished by gun control advocates who import illegal guns to gangs so they can maintain their cause) an dpoints it at Phil. Now, it appears that Thailog has decided to employ extremists of teh right and left for his twisted plans. I wonder what Sister Sue is plotting.

**Mr. Noying stands outside what seems to be an abandoned factory. He doesn't remember why he came here. Heck, he doesn't even know where he is, (That air plane was really shiny) he just went to the address in his coat pocket. He knows he came for something important, so he walks into the factory, and calls out," Hello?!?" And he hears a response.
"Crud! How did you guys find me so quick? You're supposed to think I'm at one of my other bases!" Mr. Noying stares in fascination. He sees a black gargoyle with white hair, wearing REAALLLY shiny armor...**
Lion King 2- Worthy sequal. Some of the sequences were clear tributes to the first, the animation was flawless, and the story was good. But, you shouldn't believe me, I saw the original over 70 times, so I'm biased. Judge for yourself. The only thing that irked me was Rifiki's song

Green Baron- Phil Gramm now? Okay...
Zath-Interesting speculations about Demona and MacBeth... What if she threw a banana peel to the ground and MacBeth slipped on it? No wait, that's just stupid... And I agree, poison probably shouldn't count. But then again, we never saw if that worked or not...
Fire Storm-Actually, Doug Adam's series is a 5 parter now.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Resteraunt at the end of the Universe, Life the Universe and Everything, So Long and thanks for all the fish, and Mostly Harmless. Marvin ends up being several times older than the universe itself...
Todd- You mean Pinky and the Brain AREN'T trying to take over the world? Well, I suppose someone should try...
And on the matter of basilisks... I have two of them as pets! They're spiffy, but they really don't bear much resemblance to a chicken... More iguana like really...
As far as Timedancer... I still want to see a follow up to "For Old Time's Sake"... It's not a demand, just a reasonable request. Hear that TGS staff?
Ah well, I must depart, and like some sort of psycho, look for hidden messages in The Lion King 2. I mean, someone found the word "sex" hidden in the first one... I haven't been able to appreciate that scene the same way since I found out about that.
**"You look familiar," Jim Noying points out. Thailog is worried that he'll be seen for the villain he is.
"And why do I look familiar to you?"
"I don't know... You're armor is... very... distracti..." Mr. Noying simply stares at the shiny armor. A curious look crosses Thailog's face, when Mr. Noying speaks again.
"Now I know why I recognize you! Goliath! I'm ready to help serve your clan! Where's Brooklyn?"
Thailog has a look of utter amazement on his face. How could anyone possibly be THIS stupid? Ah well, he can put it to his advantage. If not, he has a REALLY big gun nearby...**

I just tried to fix the counter on the TGS page so that the Java counter os gone and the regular counter done by CGI remains. However, I dunno if it works right or not. Last time I saw it, the counter was at 222222. PLease go check out the main TGS page and tell me if this changes or not. I need to know if the counter is working fine. Thanx.

GREEN BARON - I don't really know as yet how to set up my own web site, but thanks anyway. I'm glad that you like my work.
DOUG - They've got conspiracy theories about chickens now? (Does this rooster conspiracy theory of your friend's, perchance, involve human-sized roosters who wear clothes and toupees and pretend to be human until their disguise finally gets lost in public? - I've probably seen too many episodes of "Animaniacs" :) Next thing you know, there'll be claims that there are two genetically altered lab mice trying to take over the world! :)
Oh, and incidentally, I'd like to put in a little plug here for one of Christine Morgan's stated sources for basilisks in "Signs and Portents" (mentioned at the end): "The Book of Weird" by Barbara Ninde Byfield. Look for it in any good library or bookstore. It's a wonderful summary of everything that you need to know about all manner of mythical critters, not just basilisks but also dragons, vampires, werewolves, giants, dwarves, ghosts, elves, fairies, and so on.

** The CR screen lights up with a picture of Kitainia, the DC cyber-demon, and all the BRs going with them dashing towards the UT Student Union. As Doug and the Ravens going with him watch them go, Lathrop pauses and waves his arms about while uttering several mystic phrases. All of a sudden two large earth elementals and two smaller air ones burst out of the ground and wind inside the mob of cloned Fundamentalist Extreme soldiers and begin pummeling them. Doug and his friends take the opportunity to dash for the Tower's entrance, taking out whatever bad guys get in their way and followed by a couple of UTPD SWAT teams. Doug manages to yell out the following as they head through the crowd.**
Green Baron: I like your name for Pastor John's crowd, I think I'll use it. Thank you. Also, thanks for sending the Scouts to help. They should come in handy. You have Pastor John's character down fully, by the way. I could just see and hear him doing that stuff while reading it in your Blaise-ism. <grin>
By the way, just in case it's not obvious to somebody, the reason Pastor John has cloned followers is that here at UT everyone except for the other twelve members of his coven (Brothers Ken, Roy, Guido, Sam, Justin, Big Tommy, Enoch, Jay, and Glen, and Sisters Susan {his psycho doomcrier b*&ch wife, not the left-wing nun Green Baron's mentioned}, Ruth, and Sara) know the guy is a complete hateful so-called-Christian wacko and treat him as such. Just like everyone in his bunch is treated. In our RP fantasy, we shall remove this blight from the UT campus. <evil smile>
Charles Whitman: In 1968, this guy was a UT student who apparently went insane, and then dragged a foot locker full of guns and ammo up to the observation deck at the top of the thirty floor tower that serves as the main administration building for our campus. Once he got up there, and the time was right, he began firing his guns from the observation deck at the people below and killed about thirty of them before he was finally taken down by a UT police officer who managed to get inside the tower, run up to the top, and shoot him. We don't really know why he went crazy like that, some people blame a brain tumor as well as his violent sociopathic tendencies. He did put a huge blight on the UT campus's reputation, though, and it's largely because of his sniping massacre and a rash of sucide jumps in the seventies that for the last twenty years or so the UT Tower's observation deck has been closed to the public. The current UT president, however, is improving its security and thinking of reopening it. I hope he does soon. Before I graduate, I really want to see the view from up there.
The Basilisk: Oh yeah, that was a good picture of it. You know what Kitainia and I did today? This is a true story. Today around noon, both Brother Roy and some other doom-crier crazy I'm going to call Mr.Fowl were preaching in the West Mall area. Roy did his crowd's usual stuff, but Mr.Fowl took it a step further. He claimed that roosters, that's right, roosters, were developing a conspiracy to take over the world and enslave all humans. The guy was nuts, no question about it. Of course, there's always the usual crowd of people on campus who humor folks like him for amusement. Today, Kitainia and I were some of them. We showed Mr.Fowl the basilisk picture and told him the legend of what they are and how they're supposed to hatch from eggs laid by roosters. I don't think he really knew what we were talking about, but he did praise us for discovering one possible facet of "The Rooster Conspiracy." Everyone in the crowd laughed along with us after hearing that, and you should have seen the look on the guy's face when he realized that we had been kidding. It was an actual legend, though, and today it provided us with great amusement. Thank you, TGS staff, for this bit of useful knowledge. <tips hat to Christine, Jessica, and Kathy>
Lawrence: I think Greg said once in "Ask Greg" that Broadway and Angela's children were each born twenty years apart and Samson was the youngest. So I guess that means 2038 was when they had Gwenyvere.
Zach: You should have gotten a picture of that shop. They have this contest at the Gathering every year called "Signs of Gargoyles" where you win for getting the most pictures of signs with the shows' characters' names on them. I intend to try and enter it next year. <smile>
(Shameless Plug Alert!) Sevarius Jr.: I hear you like nonstop action mixed in with good stories. In case you don't know it by now, I like that too. You'll find plenty of it in my fanfiction. (End Plug) :) Please extend my best welcome to the Frankenstein Monster, after I read your post about him I was literally rolling on the floor laughing!
That's all for now, later!
** The Ravens reach the tower doors to find Brother Big Tommy, the member of the Fundamentalist Extreme who thinks he is a modern-day biblical Samson, blocking their way in along with a crossbow-wielding Sister Anne and a hateful rhetoric spewing Brother Enoch. Elena blasts the sister with her AK-47, while Shap goes into a wrestling match with Big Tommy and quickly wins out despite his opponent's so-called "miraculous muscles." Enoch tries to talk the Ravens to death with his crazed evil speeches, but he is suddenly grabbed by a lasso. It was thrown by a mad-as-hell looking gargoyle cowgirl gliding above him who quickly scoops him up and soars away from the campus, still bearing Enoch, who is now screaming about the apocalypse and demons. (Cyber-cookie to whoever knows why I had this happen to Enoch, hope my inspiration doesn't get too mad at me for not first asking her permission.) The Ravens wave their thanks to Avery Bishop, and then dash inside the UT tower. As the screen goes blank, the sound of Kitainia's cyber-demon pal's extremely powerful jackhammer in action begins to echo across the campus.**

**Zath leans back in the window.**
I just thought of something else! This weekend I was in LA (that's why I didn't have net access) and while I was there, my mom and I visited some relatives. We only had about an hour or so before we had to leave for the airport, so we decided to go out and get a quick bite to eat together. One of the options was an ice cream place called "Cold Stone's." Unfortunately, everyone else wanted tacos, so we went somewhere else. Can any Los Angeles natives confirm or deny the existance of an ice cream place bearing the name of our favorite cyborg?

While Zath stands to greet the other inhabitants of the CR, Kitty starts to purr and shed all over the lawyer.**
Hi all. First off, I'd like to thank everyone who responded to my posts last week. I would have gotten back to you sooner, but this is the first time I've been on the net since Friday afternoon.
*****Pointless and strange speculation warning*****
The recent talk about the Weird Sisters' reasons for linking Demona and Macbeth has caused me to wonder about some things. Just what is and what isn't considered Demona directly killing Macbeth? I know strangling him would count, and probably throwing a knife at him, but how slight can her involvement be? Suppose she sics a trained attack dog on him, would that count? Or, what if Macbeth is out hiking in the woods and he gets caught in a bear trap. Demona didn't set the trap, but she comes along and steals all the food he had in his back pack. How about an accident that is partly her fault? Suppose Demona (in human form) forgets to set her parking brake before she goes into a store. While she's inside, someone rear-ends the car, it rolls down a hill and squashes Macbeth against a tree. Would that count? (Yeah, I know Macbeth is the one who wants to die, but it seems more fun to have Demona do the killing, which reminds me... *please forgive me if this has been discussed before* In the Timedancer episode where Brooklyn goes to Demona's mate's funeral, since Macbeth brought the poison, but Demona drank it herself, wouldn't that technically be suicide rather than Macbeth killing her?) Okay, that's enough of that for now.
*****End increasingly odd speculations*****
Coyote> Going completely off topic here but, before you explained your name, I thought you got it from that character in "My Side of the Mountain."
Okay, one last thing and then I'll leave you poor innocent people alone for a while...
Creativity Demon: Anyone remember the show SledgeHammer? Imagine that crossover, just the picture on his gun handle (for those who don't know, it looked a lot like a Quarryman symbol) could cause enoough misunderstandings to last an entire fic, not even considering his usual behavior.
I guess that's it for now. Bye all.
**Zath leaves the CR, this time through the window. The CR Lawyer, whose formerly dark suit in now completely white and light brown, tries to shoo away Kitty. Instead, she growles, sinks her teeth into his hand, and then brutally mauls him. Finally, she barfs up a half digested smurf on his forehead and then jumps out of the window after Zath.**

I also would like to see a future episode of gargoyles, if Brooklyn tells Demona that he does not hate her because he knows how she will turn out in the future.
Ok I was wondering. When did Broadway and Angela have there daughter Gwenyvere? Because we know when Artus was born, which is in 2018 and we know whan Samson will be born, which is in 2058 but when was Gyenyvere born.

(The Rolling Calf is seen polishing , tightening up and arming a 15 foot battle suit . He is in a room with very little light , and all forms of weaponry are seen all over the place , it is strange however as there are no doors . Particularly conspicuous in the room is a large 30mm gatling gun with13 foot barrels . )
Well , I'll be ready to do some seious damage with this thing , all I have left to do is mount the gatling gun , but that is giving me alot of trouble , and get the ammo , (depleted uranium is not easy to com by) . I'll as usual be working evacuation of the teams and as backup (over kill ) fire power should I be needed . (Brian looks at all the state of the art Russian weapons and assault vehicles ) I have to make DARN sure that Buick _Never_ gets in here .
Halloween costume : I have no one to trick or treat with so I'll be hooking up with a friend and working on causing premature heart attacks among the young to middle aged .
***** Spoilers Ahead *****
Well done there folks , the artwork was superb ,(love that basilisk) and the story was excellent though I am having trouble figuring out why the Egg that Arthur took was'nt the Basilisk .
*****Spoilers Done*****
Puns - I rehealllllllly hate puns . My Father enjoys telling them . Though but I want to strangle him whenever he does .
What was that frightening page that Gore put up of ? He'd changed it back by the time I got the message .
SJ : Nice addition . I know what you mean about wanting to say that phrase , I say it every chance I get .
(Brian runs a final systems check on the battle suit and mounts the gun to the shoulder where it can rotate onto his back . He then creates a conjures a small portal and looks through it , a delighted look comes across his face , he then reaches through and pulls out a large sack of shells for the gatling gun and a small cold fusion power pack which will power shields , predator style commoflage , booster rockets and all laser beams for up to 25 hours . ) OK , I'm ready . I'll see if I can dig up some friends to help out and one other guy who owes me a favour . But it does'nt look likely .

**The evil twisted pastor of the Fundamentalist Extreme (a more appropriate definition for the Religious far-right, IMO. Don't you agree, Doug?) makes his hypocritical calls, when this wierd music plays and five girls appear in their formalized Catholic schoolgirl uniforms. It's the Catholic schoolgirl Scouts. "You have embarrased religious conservtives long enough. You call yourself moral, but you use clones and you don't even wear a collar and robe when you preach. I'm Ave Maria and we're the Catholic schoolgirl scouts, bound to battle herectics on the left and right, like you!"
All pastor John can shout is, "Papists. You disgusting pope worshippers.."**
Hello all. Guess who's back.
Doug> Who's Charles Whitman?
Todd> I can't wait to see the new entries. You should set up your own site.
Halloween> The American marketing Association and the Economics Club are hosting a Halloween party that night and I'm in both clubs. If it's a costume party, I'll go as Emperor Tiberius, meaning toga over my red bathrobea nd my black slippers, as well as a wire laurel wreath spraypainted gold.
**pastor John is stopped as a bullet is fired and hits the wall above him. The five girls break into two groups, revealing...Phil Gramm? Yes, it's Phil Gramm with an assault rifle. "Well, Tuxedo Bob Dole is busy raising money for a WWII memorial, so he asked me to fill in, and bust this clown who makes it uncool to be a conservative, and I was conservative, before conservative was cool. As for you, Johnny, get out of here, or the next shot will be for you, and I just finished my NRA training class with honors."
Pastor John just shoots the bird at Phil Gramm and laughs**

**Two UPS workers wheel in a large crate on a handtruck into the comment room. Sevarius Jr. stands nearby, beaming happily.**
I'll get to the crate in a second. But first, I gotta make a few comments.
SIGNS AND PORTENTS: Another great eps of the TGS. Keep it comin'!
Gore: Is he okay now? The big guy scared me yesterday. Last thing I wanna hear when I come here is that one of our own is down and depressed. Hope he's alright now.
Now you guys are gonna love this. This is so cool. I've been watching all the old Universal horror flicks this week (cause you know what this Saturday is!), and it got me thinking. So I made a few calls to some buds of mine in Europe, I pulled a few strings, called in some favors, and I did it. I did it!
What did I do you ask? **SJ turns to the two UPS workers, who are standing by the crate with crowbars.**
Open it up boys!
**The workers pry off the front of the crate. It falls to the floor with a thud. The inside of the crate is shrouded in shadows....but the outline of a huge being can be seen...**
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you our latest recruit in the war against Thailog/Dark Mage/My dad....all the way from England, just in time for Halloween...the man, the myth, the legend, the monster....Mr. Frank N. Stein!
**Frankenstein's monster stands immobile in the crate.**
Um, I guess Frank needs a little jump start.
**SJ takes some jumper cables, and hooks them up to a Sears DieHard Gold battery. He then touches the cables to the bolts on Frankenstein's neck. After a few jolts, the monster slowly opens his eyes and groans.**
It's alive! ALIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I'm sorry, I've always wanted to say that.
So, Frank, how do you feel?
<Uhh...Feel good. *Sniff, sniff* Need shower.>
Um...That's great, Frank. Do you know who I am?
<You...you friend?>
Darn right I am. Need your help here buddy. Me and my friends need your help to take out a few evil clones, and my dad.
<Clones...*Scratches head* Clones bad!>
You got it, Frank. So, you up to it? Wanna go ten rounds with the bad guys?
<Ugh...Me crush clones!>
That's the spirit soldier! Alright big guy, let's go introduce you to the other recruits.
<Ugh...First, must use little boys's room.>
Um...sure, whatever big guy.
**SJ and Frankenstein exit the comment room to join the rest of the troops...**

I feel quite guilty actually because I was so involved in commenting on the stories that I forgot to comment on all the wonderful pics! :)
Todd: Well, actually SIGNS AND PORTENTS captured superbly, IMHO, the balance between the way the show portrayed the characters, and the way English sounds. There was that 'one does read of such things…' that the guy in the market was saying… I think that sounds a tad 'posh' for a guy selling chickens in the market, but that's a rather dodgy statement to make anyway! ;) A couple of Cabot's phrases were a tad awkward, but overall I didn't think any of it was unnatural! Although I think this one was an easier episode than MEET THE MINIONS to do from that point of view.
Christine: Yes, but why should you try when you can get maximum mileage out of all the fowl play ;) Erm… sorry :)
Old Times: I thought it was rather annoying that Brook never returned to Egypt… I mean, little open ended questions are one thing, but not picking up on this stripped the episode of its purpose really… hope it's sorted out this season! :)
RISING PART ONE question: Was the way that Madoc pauses before he delivers his speech in any way connected to the way Hitler delivered his speeches?

** The screen lights up. Doug, Kitainia, and the other Ravens have reached the South Mall and are now headed towards the UT Tower. Suddenly a shot rings out and nearly takes one of them down. They all split up and run off, Doug turning to make his post as he ducks for cover behind the statue of George Washington.**
Whoa!! What the heck is going on here? I swear, you'd think Charles Whitman was back even though the guy is thirty years dead. I hope it's not another Tower sniper, if it is they'll probably never open the Tower observation deck to us students again!! Urrgh!
On a non-RP note:
Coyote: I'll miss you, man. See you this weekend.
Todd: I was wondering, when are you going to have Chris post more of your Guide to the Gargoyles Universe? It's proving to be a very good resource, and I'd like to soon see more of it.
Those chicken puns: I also enjoyed reading them. <LOL>
Brian: Glad to see you back so soon and that the flood didn't get you too bad. That's good fortune. :)
MrNoying: Okay, we'll try to get Thailog and your alter-ego together sometime. For now, he'll just have to pick a base and head for it. Fleur, Wilek, Kitainia, or myself will take over once he's somewhere. (And you can decide his actions too, of course.) Good luck with whatever may be your decision. Oh, and 42 is the answer to the question of live, the universe, and everything. The source is Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Fleur: Kitainia can't post right now (if you must know, she's in the shower), but she wanted me to tell you to e-mail either of us if you need some info on those original gargs of hers traveling to the skyscraper with you. And if you're getting full of doom and gloom, well I hear there's going to be more of it in a lot of upcoming stories. Coyote's next one, he tells me, will be called "Life and Death at Castle Wyvern." Wonder who's going to die this time... And TGS definitely is going to be doing some more Unseelies gathering their forces and attacking stories, I'm looking forward to reading them. And last but not least, (shameless plug) my fanfic's next four stories are really going to have tension in them. More than my usual amount, and at least two huge battle scenes in every one. <grin> Hope my readers enjoy. If anyone's curious, I'm about halfway through with my current story project, "Clash of the New Olympians." (end shameless plug)
Okay, that's all for now. Later!
** Doug takes a glance around the base of the statue to see that the Tower has now been surrounded and occupied by a huge mob of rabid Christian right protesters, chanting "Turn or Burn!" "Your hour of doom is upon you, sinners!" and similar phrases. Pastor John Gould is of course on the steps of the Tower leading them, and they all like eerily alike somehow. "Great," Doug mumbles to himself. "PJ's been having Thailog clone followers for him. The man is nutzoid." Then his cell phone begins to beep. "Yeah, Kitainia?" he says, picking it up. "What do we do about this?" her reply comes. "We have to get those guys out of the Tower before they kill everyone they can who doesn't worship God in the stupid, hateful, and wrong way they do!" "Send me Boris, Elena, Orion, Shap, Linnet, and the DC cyber-imps. We're going in there to take care of them. You head for the Battle Oaks with the others and attack Thailog's citadel. We'll catch up." "Alright, but how are you going to get past that mob and their snipers?" "Have Lathrop create a diversion. A couple of his elementals should do nicely." "Alright, good luck. See you in a few, Dougie." As they both hang up and get ready to carry out their plans, the screen goes blank. To be continued!**

Hey all! I just read the latest story and I liked it. But it was a bit confusing and even a little intimidating towards the end. The gargoyles are really going to be in for it soon.
But, what I need to know is if there is anyone who can send me their best guess through e-mail on the dates of all of the gargoyles deaths and their circumstances. I kind of need to know because it is for fan fic purposes.
I'ld appreciate the help.
Oh, and while I'm here.... where's DA?

*Two huge guys in grubby jeans and t-shirts carry a huge screen TV into the comment room, then switch it on and walk out. Fleur appears on the screen, mission impossible style. (wrist-watch eye view)*
Like the TV? Comes with built in Anti-smurf protection for all those times you can't be bothered flaming the little blue rodents. :)
Just thought I'd check in before heading off to the Skyscraper of Marsh Industries with the ST and Clan Austin. Anyone else coming? BTW Traveller, thanks for the flamethrower. Should come in handy. :)
Forgive me, since I only know Gore by reputation, and I didn't read what he wrote, so I really have no right to add my opinion. This may sound morbid, but I'm kinda glad he's let people know how he's feeling. While that old saying that anyone who speaks about killing themselves is not going to do it is utter bulls**t, at least his friends know and can help out. If there is one thing more depressing than trying to kill yourself, it's waking up and realising that, not only have you failed, but nobody has noticed.
Ehhh, I didn't want to do that. I appologise to anyone I may have upset.
On to a lighter topic. SPOILERS AHEAD.
'Poultry in motion'?
Alright Christine, admit it. Somewhere in your head, there's a part your brain called 'Puns so bad they're funny', and it was running riot while you were writing that story. Seriously, it was a great story, lots of tension, but a welcome change from the doom and gloom of the previous eps. (not that the d&g is bad, I love it, but between TGS and G:CM, my fingernails need a break :))
END SPOILED SPACE
Speaking of TGS, I was just wondering if we get to find out what Fang's been up to. Oh, and what about the Ultra Pack, now that Madoc's cut them loose? Oh man, I'd love to see how Loki reacts to them. Christine could have a ball with the bad dog and tin can puns.
Okay, we're approaching the Skyscraper.
TTFN.

**Coyote enters the room wearing a new sandwich board which reads "man going missing."**
Hey all. Just as advance warning, I will be sequestering myself away from Station 8 for the next few days, probably until late Halloween night. The reason: so that I can work on the upcoming Halloween fic, as well as desperately try to catch up on WCC commissions.
Eddie: Had to think about this one for a while. The theory that I have on the Obedient Child Spell in WCC will be that the only gargoyles that Demona could possibly control with the spell would be Angela, Samson and the baby (Samson and Ariana's). Technically, any other-dimensional descendants of Demona (including Monika and Sierra MacDuff) would be immune to the spell's effects.
However, I am thinking about other things that could be affected by stuff coming in WCC ... for instance, I can just imagine the kind of devastating force Lina could possibly wield if her Avalon stone draws any energy from other-dimensional Avalon artifacts (thus far at least six, including one alt-Phoenix Gate). All you Slayers fans in here: Can you say ... "DRAGON SLAVE!!"
Todd: Yep, the Rokkans are the "Space-Spawn." Eep ... more eerie coincidental similarities ... **swallows nervously, eyeballing the CR lawyer anxiously.**
Christine: Excellent work on the ep. And I certainly enjoyed the incredibly painful "fowl" puns. ;)
MrNoying: I would tend to agree. It's still frightening. **still eyeballing the CR lawyer, who's on his cellphone.**
Kyryn: I got both attachments, intact, on the first message, so I deleted the re-send. So yes, I did get your stats for WCC. You're in.
Speaking of which ... (sorry, Todd, I can't resist, and I'm sure Wilek will pick it up in my absence.)
As of midnight tonight ...
5 days until the Army of the Night closes ranks.

She reaches the edge of the cliff and takes off, allowing the CR lawyer to run over the edge, followed by the stampede of smurfs that were chasing him. She glances toward the screen.>
What a busy weekend! I missed a lot.
Heather> Yes, I'm in Texas. Actually I used to be closer to you, since I was in Denton for eight years. I still get up there pretty often to visit my fiance. Originally, though, I was born in, survived, and escaped from L.A. Oh, a suggestion for your African fics - check with a large bookseller, like Barnes & Noble or Borders. I noticed a Swahili dictionary at one while I was running around this weekend. They listed 'simba' for lion and 'tai' for eagle, but that's all I can remember.
MrNoying> Dragonball? If you're an anime fan in the SA area you should know that there are a whole bunch of us crazies at the San Antonio Animation Society. I'll find the URL for the site if you're interested.

(Mr. Noying runs into the room, being pursued by someone else. He throws a note to the floor for the room to read, and immediatley runs back out, followed by his larger persuer.)
Firestorm- You left out "the Univers, and Everything." 1/2 credit since you left that out, and didn't identify the source. If anyone cares, there's sure to ask now wondering what we're talking about! But then, no one has yet, so they probably don't care...
And I had figured as much would happen in Merlin Missy's story.. 8)
Travler-Why do I always miss out on identifying these things? It's not fair! I know them, but someone else gets them first! Arrg! Ah well, it was a good quote.
MDY- That thing about the fairies and ninja turtles probably wasn't a typo, we get the same down here. Well, actually, there haven't been many turtles since the early 90's...
Wilek-Rong Dang Eg does indeed run a Chinese resteraunt...
And while Thailog's very shiny armor will be a problem for my alter ego... Just trust me when I say I have something I want to do around him... Whenever our mission gets to that point...
Deuce- I agree, Timedancer SHOULD skip around, now that we've seen the courtship of Brooklyn and Sata.
As for the shorter episodes... A story should be as long as it must to be told. If you try to force it into a different length, it loses something. Remember, some of the stories last season were huge, and others were really short as well...
While I'm speaking of Time Dancer, there is one thing that bothers me... In "For Old Time's Sake"... Um, I suppose I should put up SPOILER for those who actually haven't read it yet...
SPOILER OF SORTS: It seems to me that after "For Old Time's Sake", Brooklyn must have gone back Egypt, but earlier in time so he could become very familiar with all those characters who knew him. And judging by the way the characters treated him, he was there for a very LOONG time. And it seems pretty clear that Sata wasn't there at the time, because of Brook's... Lady friend. So, either we've already passed the follow up story, or Brooklyn and Sata are going to be seperated at some point, for a VERY long time to Brooklyn... I think there's an unclosed plot thread there... END SPOILER OF SORTS
AotN-Soulforge is pretty good. But it's been a while since I've read it...
Coyote-You think the coincidence of Samson is bad? Why, I've written 18 (and counting) fanfics before I ever knew about this site, and a at least 20 various elements from TGS are in my stories! It is really spookie! Perhaps the show did a VERY good job of getting people in touch with the garg. universe...

COYOTE BANDO - Even though it turns out that your Samson was something that you came up with independently, I'm still a little amazed at the coincidence that you and Greg's MasterPlan both envisioned Broadway and Angela having a son named Samson (and all the more so since the "Gargoyles 2158" spin-off that Greg had envisioned for Samson would probably also have involved the invasion of the Space-Spawn, like your "Clan Manhattan" series - the Space-Spawn is the official term used for the beings that you call Rokkans in your fanfic). Chalk it all down to Gargoyle Fan Subconscious, I suppose. (We've had similar elements in TGS, such as the assumption that Arthur and Griff would visit Tintagel and Stonehenge during their quest for Merlin - just as they would have done in the MasterPlan according to Greg, or the idea that Brooklyn's encountering a future Demona in the course of his TimeDancing adventures would make him lose some of his old hatred for her - cf. "Requiem", but Greg had also independently envisioned such a thing).
ED - Just out of curiosity, how accurate do you view our handling of the UK as being in "Signs and Portents" this time around? Any better?

Hey, there, all!
Coyote> Well, from your post last week, thanx...I don't know what it is, but I want to show that Caligo can die...he's mortal physically, at least...even though he is definately immortal otherwise...also bro, on the subject on Samson as Demona's lackey right now...during WCC, I notice some of the characters are also related to Demona. Now, using one of my characters as an example, Monika of the Outklaws, if Demona casted the Obedient Child Spell on her, would it work? If it did, how far back in generations, like Sierra MacDuff is her great-grandchild...I'm just interested on how that would work...
And all who are waiting for "Ambient Anarchists"...wait longer...Damn Macs...

***SPOILERS***
I thought this chapter in the on-going Gargoyles Saga was prime. I'm constantly and pleasantly suprised at how well written all these stories are. You couldn't get as good an epic if you watched ever Sailor Moon and Robotech cartoon and all the babylon 5 episodes (Maybe Beastwars equals TGS, tho).
My question is what happened? Did Whootsie just take an egg from another chicken? As far as I could tell, Author got the right egg. Did I just miss something, or was he whole rooster fiasco a coincidence with the real basilisk being born? Thanks

"Not exactly the fowl harbinger of doom, is he?" Colin whispered to Arthur.
… and…
"So, it comes to this, does it?" Griff said, amused. "Arthur Pendragon, King of the Britains, reduced to a common chicken-thief?"
… both were hilarious (the former in particular).
I also liked:
"Yes, sir. No ... fowl ups."
Heh. You couldn't resist, could you? ;)
But, seriously, this was a pretty good ep. Not wonderful, but not bad either. And Kathy has had a hand in just about every ep this season, that I can think of right now (all of them?)! Goodness!
That said, I really think that you could do with a break from the doom and gloom Unseelie tales. I like 'em, but I think some variety is required. Although the egg stuff here was a nice change of pace. How about bringing Vinnie back ;)
Hmm… hey, there's something in SIGNS AND PORTENTS that backs up one of my secret guesses! Goodie! :D

GORE> Buddy, hang in there. I know the feeling, but by now you should be able to see that you make a difference, and you would be missed. I've said before, it gets better after it gets worse. You just gotta keep going during the interval.
On a lighter note... why are TGS stories getting so short lately? I polished off this week's episode in about fifteen minutes (speed-reading lessons, ahhh), whereas last season I could be in front of my computer for over half an hour. What gives?
I have a TimeDancer question: so far, episodes have been in chronological order. Why? It should be perfectly reasonable to expect stories from say, a month before "Out of Joint II". At this rate, we'll be reading about Graeme and Ariana as we know them with VR goggles and invisible keyboards!
BTW, thanks for all the good words about my fics. Sadly, I won't be able to finish my personal links page for a while... our computer at home has ceased to function, and we get it back from the repair store next Monday at 5:00. The school computers have no uploading utility or graphics program, and only Netscape Composer. (Somehow, SimpleText has been locked out on these weird Macs). So I'm stuck. You can find Vignettes I and III by clicking on my name, and VigII should be up by Friday.
P.S. When you click my name, be warned that the "clintonsong.wav" file in the resulting directory is a crude yet hilarious song about you-know-who. It's not for the faint of heart.

[Wilek, Miriam, Jake, Teri, Anoth, Forfexx, Raoul, two Doom Commando cyber garg imps, the bikers, and whoever else is coming to West Gate Mall are on their way there.] Y'know, Kitainia, since the bikers are so capable, we really don't need all the DC's here. I've sent the cyberdemon and the other two imps over to the UT campus. Enjoy! And remember, they can configure their arms and tails to virtually any weapon or tool, including a computer datajack if you need to do any serious hacking.
*****SIGNS AND PORTENTS SPOILERS****
I loved the ep! How did BOTH sides of the conflict manage to mess things up so thoroughly? <LOL> Man, it was so funny seeing Griff and Arthur with that stuff all over them after getting the WRONG DANG EGG!!!. (Rong Dang Eg? Doesn't he run a Chinese restaurant?) Hm, I thought the 'beautiful ruthless woman' was Demmy herself. As for Angela's two forms, what if they were planning to put her under the same transformation spell as Demona? (Another worry for Coyote. ^_^) And the Basilisk will definitely be grand fun to play with...

(Mr Noying walks into the room. He isn't acting stupid as usual, due to the serious matters at hand, which he intends to look into in a moment.)
Well, I had planned to come in here at one minute after midnight to rag on you for not having the new story up by Monday, but to my shock, its up! Very punctual guys!
And I won't spoil anything, but it was good story for building purposes. Aw heck...
SPOILER**** I loved the line, "It's hideous! Kill it now while it's still weak!" END SPOILER**
Let's see... I have no clue which number I am to post, so I'll take my favorite, and call 42! I get that one! Who here knows the reference?
As far as my halloween costume, I'm going as Trunks from Dragonball Z. He isn't in the american version of the show yet, but I have his face and haircut already and his costume was easy to put together, I already had the wardrobe. All I have to do is dye my hair white.
Doug-Yeah, I'm forgiven! But since I'm not actually in the RP, but my alter ego Jim Iza Noying is, it would be best if you didn't trust him with anything too important. Give him orders, and he'll follow them. Remember, he forgets everything when he spots something shiny, so he probably shouldn't coordinate his own mission. But on that note, try to leave him alone with Thailog at some point. I have an idea or two I want to do there...
Coyote- It's out of my head now. Now it that blasted Natalie Imbrulia song, Torn!
Entity-Interesting thought about Demona and MacBeth... I've wondered about that myself...
SOROW-Have you not read the Timedancer story Requiem? That'll answer your questions about Brooklyn's offhand comment about Broadway and Angela raising a great kid. Incidentaly, I think it's one of the five or so best stories on this site. And yes, Brooklyn and Demona should have a confrontation some time.
And now that these lighter matters are done, there is a guy named GORE who needs to be talked to. Anyone else coming on, check it out at www.s8.org. It really is important.
(And Mr. Noying leaves the room, again without doing anything stupid, due to the serious matters to be attended elsewhere.)

**Coyote walks into the room, feeling a bit better.**
Okay, then. I'll still worry a little since we still haven't heard from the man himself, but I for one am certainly glad Gore took down his frightening, depressing and Ihate to say this, but well-written epitaph.
==EPISODE SPOILERS==
The new ep was pretty good, one of the things that snapped me out of my funk. It'll be interesting to see how the heroes and the Illuminati will react once the basilisk makes its presence known.
BTW, is it just me, or did the prophecy about Demona's child being in "two forms" seem like an allusion to "Equality?" Or maybe I'm missing something ... anyway, if I'm being completely nuts, somebody please tell me.
I can almost picture, animated in my mind, the last scene at the magic shop when Griff, Arthur, Emrys and Colin (was that all of them?) come in the door covered in various barn detritus. Good scene. :)

** The screen lights up with a picture of the Ravens heading up 23rd St, their vehicles left behind due to UT's enormous parking problems as they approach the campus.**
Alright, back to RP now that I am no longer that depressed. We are currently heading towards the Battle Oaks clearing at UT, which according to Alex's data is the best penentration point to get underground. Too bad we don't have the Doom Commandos with us, I was counting on their drills to break open the roof of the underground citadel. Oh well, too bad. I'm sure Lathrop can conjure something else up that will do just as well. Wish us luck, people.
Wilek: Good luck at Westgate. If you see them, please try to take out Jose and Guilliermo (or have Miriam take out the latter, he might call her honey). Cobra is a lot like Broadway in human form, the Bigs can almost out-fight Goliath, Jeeper is good with knives and Ralph with wrenches, Fauline is a mad acrobat and chain-twirler like the Ravens' Tricia, Anne is a trailer park wicken, Suzy can shoot real good, Tommy rides as good as Knievel, and Rick can figure his way out of just about any situation, so they should be able to help you. If Snake were still alive, the group would have its noble leader and be nearly unstoppable. You shouldn't hopefully have too many problems.
Gore's Situation: Well, he cleared the CR out, and he took down his epitaph. Those are both good signs. Doug and I have said all that can be said by us, I think it's likewise for everyone else that's posted. All we can do now is hope, pray, and wait for answers.
Halloween Costume: I'm going as the Sorceress, Doug as Man-at-Arms (our second favorite He-Man couple). The rest of the Ravens are also dressing up. Let's see, Boris and Elena will be vampires, Shap is going as a black Frankenstein, Shauna will be dressed as Renee from the show Ally McBeal, Jim and Tricia are dressing up as male and female werewolves (last year it was as Kenny McCormick and a homicidal female maniac who all day kept popping out of crowds and "killing" him), Keith will be going as a skeleton, Stephanie as a witch, and Alex will break out his cool cyber-pirate costume (looks like a pirate, only with computer attachments and cybernetics). We should have a lot of fun that night scaring people. :)
SOROW: That would be interesting. I can't really imagine how the twins and Demona would react to each other, I don't know them that well. But I would like to see the scene you're describing.
(Warning, Episode Spoilers!)
Speaking of Demona, great character development on her in the latest TGS episode. I loved the part where she fumed at Nostradamus about his cryptic prophecy style. The foreshadowing was also excellent and so was Arthur's latest conflict with the Illuminati. The comedy brought on by their botched egg hunt and Colin's skepticism was well-placed, as was the end scene that really got me worried. Also good character development on Una and foreshadowing in her tarot reading. The king reversed is obviously Madoc, but the beautiful harsh woman could either be Maeve or that woman with the rose encrusted weapon. I obviously want to know more about the latter and the meaning of Demona's foretelling. Nice artwork, too. Looking forward to next week when hopefully you guys answer some of my questions. Overall, another masterpiece from the TGS Staff and Christine Morgan. Congratulations!!
(End Spoilers)
Okay, that's all for now. Later!

Miriam got onto the surveillance equipment at the HQ of her big mysterious organization. All she could find out about Thailog and Dark Mage Wilek's operation was that a lot of private jetliners are recently in the odd habit of going back and forth between the Marsh building and the deep desert regions of Nevada. Your friend Jeeper thinks it has something to do with Groom Lake. Somehow I doubt it.
On to much more serious matters. Everyone, please please go to the other CR and HELP OUT GORE!!!!! We can't afford to lose him! By the way, soon after Gore made his highly disturbing post, this guy named Milam made an even more disturbing (if that's possible) post which consisted entirely of the word "Ha!" repeated many times. I don't know if he has anything to do with Gore's current state, but this can't possibly be a good thing.
Coyote> I'll be going out for Halloween as myself. I won't even need a costume!

Warning: Episode Spoilers!!
Great job on "Signs and Portents," TGS people. That was an excellent ep of foreshadowing and character development (especially for Arthur, Goliath, and Demona). Funny, too, especially when the heroes and the Illuminatti discovered their overreactions. The basilisks are also excellent new monsters to add to the roster of Unseelie danger our heroes will have to battle soon. I can hardly wait to see what happens next in the series, though I know things will get worse before they get better. I'm also really wondering who the hell is that woman with the rose-encrusted sword?

Coyote: I too once had thoughts of suicide. If it weren't for my friends and family I would now be dead. If it weren't for the people who care about me, I'd still be depressed as I was back then, if I was still alive. And I had no psychoanalyst. :( Please everyone, help Gore. He needs it.
Aerie: I'm not sure where else we could do the RP. I can't think about it now for several understandable reasons. If you want to drop out of it, just let us know and we'll let you go. If you or anyone wants to scroll past the RP in our future posts, from now on they will be in **s.

Speaking from experience, I know that he needs it immensely. I won't go into too much detail, but I'm sure I would have wound up in similar straits as he is had it not been for love, friendship and a good psychoanalyst (but that was just me, mind you.). We can at least give him the first two, it's the least we can do.
