**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.**

Well, I'm getting closer to progress on the four-day-lacking-personal-hygiene thing. I'm going to spend the rest of my night trying to draw.
Spike: Excellent pic! Although I personally don't care for Sailor Moon, the costume looks great on Ari.
And for everyone who can't get enough of Spike's art ... click my name link. Short preview of tomorrow night.

Spike: I loved the image, although Graeme did seem a little out of place in it. I was ROTFL at 'Sailor Ariana.' I don't suppose we'll be getting that one for the comment room any time soon. ;-)
As to seeing the dragons in TGS, yeah it would be cool but at the moment I'm more interested in what's going on with the minions and the Unseelies in NYC.

Hey all! :)
I've updated my site! I added some pics, and I'll have a comment room up soon too. (I'd have it now, but I spent so long updating everything else, I just didn't feel like editing cgi files.) My URL is http://malibu.dragonfire.net/
Also, if you click my name, you can learn about THE GARGOYLES FAN-ART CONTEST. I think this'll be neat, so send your pics in!!
Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled whatever, and visit my site!! :)

<<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?

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!"

<The CR screen lights up showing a scene in Alaska. Kyryn's eyes glow as she rushes forward. Then stops by the Rock with an evil grin. She holds out her hand above the Rock and starts chanting. She stops chanting just before the end of the spell and says, "Stop firing, or the Rock gets it!"
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!

They have razor sharp claws at the end of each leg and twin plasma cannons in front. The team takes cover as the nightmare machines open fire.] Man, now what?!
Traveler> The quote's from the Addams Family movie. MAN, that was a long RP entry. A kewl one though. I'm a little muddled now. Who's HIM?
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.
Somebody mentioned the Rocky Horror Picture Show? Oh merciful Oberon...[SJ's dad prances through in lingerie and a black wig, then returns to his secret base.]
Get Smart> Oh, I remember that show! If I ever figure out when it comes on TV Land I'll start watching it again.

Whoever can identify the movie the very inspiring quote below my name is from gets a cyber cookie. Second cookie to whoever tells me which character spoke it. (Hint: It's really ironic.) Yet a third cyber cookie to whoever can tell me what novel the scuttlers are from.

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.
Hey, wouldn't it be kewl if Brooklyn turned out to be a Jedi? (Where the bleep did that come from? What am I on?!?! Oh no it's the Dragon Virus! dragons dragons dragons dragons)
Alright, forget taking down everything using my bombs. Brian, you still got that void density core? [Brian nods from his mech.] Alright, set it to detonate as soon as we're out of blast radius. We're getting out of here. [SJ and Frankie begin running to their TIE Scimitar as the rest begin their evac to the Dark Star shuttlecraft. The scuttlers begin to pursue them. To be continued...]

This mask is bloody uncomfortable, though.

BTW for those of you who don't know Dylan P. Blacquiere's newest story "Brooklyn's Wedding" has been up at the Can Clan's Fic Archive since 10/12/98. 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.
