Robby: I think this one's sufficiently hard enough. Okay, Wednesday then. If nobody gets it, you'll get the 50. If someone does get it before then, you'll get 25 as a consolation prize.

**Mandi sticks her head in.**
DumlaoX -- If you read this after 12, don't respond, but is the new episode going to be posted before midnight? (I'm hosting a prospective student, who unlike me hasn't had the experience of staying up til 3 am on a Sunday night!)

Gee, the TGS staff is cutting it close this week. 2 hours 15 minutes left to get the new story up before Monday hits, and then, I'll be upset. I won't talk about the party in this post, since this is bound to be one of the last posts here, if not THE last, so most people will miss it entirely and I'll probably have to retype the whole message anyway... Sigh... Coyote and Wilek, if you do read this, tell me and save me the trouble.
Coyote- 50 cybercookies? Ah man, that is NOT fair of you! If no one comes up with the answer by the end of the week can I say the answer and get them?
Wilek- It isn't my JOB to countdown the new TD eps, but since I was counting for myself anyway, I figured I'd take up the job. Besides, it makes me feel like I'm closer to the TGS staff, and maybe it'll look good on my application for season 3...
And I'm the one who brought up that Dragonheart is good listening music. It's got its dramatic moments, its peacful moments, actiony moments, and music from the gargoyles time period. Its good that way, and the best I can think of until Disney releases a Gargoyles soundtrack. Why HAVEN'T they done that anyway? The show has enough main themes to provide an entire CD... Theres the main theme, the romance theme, the wierd theme, the opening and closing credits...

Heather -- I agree, cool pic!
Coyote -- would you please be so kind as to send me the URL for the Fairlane story? I can't find it! And want to read it; great idea! (btw, it was Stephen King's Christine that made me like my name; before that, I didn't <g>)
Reminder -- Avalon Mists' holiday issue will be coming out in a few weeks; e-mail all submissions (poems, pics, fics, filks, etc.) to me asap! ; )

[Wilek, Miriam, Anoth, Forfexx, Raoul, the remaining Doom Commandos, the Dark Troopers, SJ, Frankie, and Dark Mage Wilek are in the Dark Star's bio-lab. No one's sure where Jake is; Teri's gone after him. There are several large, transparent tanks in the back of the room, full of the cure for the Dragon Virus mixed with the CV-1000 carrier virus. SJ dumps all of it into modified torpedoes, which launch and spread the cure all over the world. Wilek: "Whew, I'm glad we got that done before Traveler could mess it all up. It's finally over..." Just then Teri walks in. She looks rather perplexed and amused. "Guys, I found Jake. You're not gonna believe this." Everyone follows Teri to the armory, where Jake is jumping around attempting to eat a flock of flying nachos. W: "Oh, great."]
Heather> WOW! Great pic.
SJ> It's quite alright; you didn't know.
Robby> Tell Jim that if he starts that SW/ST screening without me, I will fully kill him. :) And the Dern Lot Boys? They're a filk band I made up to do a filk I wrote. My bass guitarist was Thailog, and we all know what *he's* gotten himself into. :) Even if he's willing to do that anymore, there's no guarantee that he'll be sober enough. (Jim's still keeping him drunk off his tail, I presume?) So...*you're* in charge of the daily messages of hope and hurt. Good luck, since some of the other room dwellers might harbor vendettas against you for teasing them so. Just ask Todd.
When someone mentioned that the Dragonheart soundtrack was good music to read TGS by, I immediately remembered that the Pendragon theme is pretty much taken from Dragonheart.
Doug> That creativity demon...yikes.
Coyote> Believe me, I'm not the sort to laugh at that kind of thing...although I do see it as an object lesson in the dangers of gambling.
[W: "Well, this was our next stop anyhow. Everyone, when the party ends and we go after Thailog and his Dark Jedi allies, we're gonna need some heavy artillery. Namely, this stuff. Miriam's organization has given us permission to take whatever we think we'll need. Now dig in!" Most of the members of the team run to the shelves and begin grabbing as much of the advanced weaponry as they can. Note to team members: Pretty much anything you can think of is here; feel free to give yourselves anything you like or even make things up. When everyone's done selecting their armaments, they leave the armory and board the Sentinel-class landing craft that the Dark Star staff has given them since they can't use the Falcon anymore.

**The screen lights up to reveal Coyote, now away from the poker table and pantless (he had to leave them to cover his winnings) dancing along with most of the other partiers, as Weird Al launches into "I Was Only Kidding." Jason is getting his groove thang on with Rosanna, Buick is doing his own little kind of doggie dance, and everyone's generally having a good time. Suddenly a loud screech is heard coming from the poker table. All eyes turn to see Demona streaking (literally) out of the room, wings tightly wrapped around her body.**
Hmm ... must have lost that skirt after all. **The music resumes from where it left off. Coyote begins dancing again, then turns toward the CR.**
Hey again, guys. Well, I've finally gotten away from the poker table, now we're trying to work our drinks off on the dance floor.
<"Hey there, tall, dark and pantless.">
Huh? **turns around and sees the inebriated Stephanie, staggering but smiling and dancing, tugging at his arm.**
<"Wanna boogie?">
Uhh ... okay, just one dance. Let me make some replies, all right?
**blank look** <"Okay.">
Good. Without further ado, here's some replies.
Kitainia: Before you have any concerns about Stephanie's welfare, let me assure you the *last* thing I would ever do is take advantage of a stone drunk woman. I've seen too many college girls get raped that way. And just so you know, my party is with you when you leave. We'll just need about a day to sleep the party off.
<"Arf!">
Well, everybody except Buick. Speaking of my party ... has anybody seen the Gearhead lately? Or Lina for that matter?
Doug: Twisted. Now that's something I would expect from Stephen King, if he ever did a "Christine" sequel. But I was still LMAO at the CD.
And I was thinking about what could possibly be possessing the Fairlane. There's a long list of suspects ... starting with just about anybody who's died before 1994. Maybe in a future installment we'll have it figured out. But you can expect the Fairlane to show up again in the future.
Ravyn: Put me down for 20 on a double knockout, followed by consumption of mass quantities of some kind of alcoholic beverage. ;) And thank you for not laughing (too loudly) at my humiliation.
Robby: Good alternate choice of artists. I'm sure most of the folks in here prefer Weird Al over Marvin Aday (50 cybercookies to whoever can identify who that is, and no, Robby, you can't answer: you alread know.).
***RP!!***
**Coyote and Stephanie are now dancing with the rest of the room, as Weird Al launches into "Phony Calls."**
Some party, huh?
<"Yeeeeeaaaaahhhhhh ..."> **giggling**
**The door to one of the upstairs guest rooms suddenly swings open. All eyes turn up to the balcony, where everyone sees the Gearhead, in his underwear, followed by ... Lina wrapped in a sheet?!**
WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON HERE?! What are you doing with my character wrapped in a sheet?!
<"Uh ... heh ...">
Ohhh boy, I'm comin' up there!
**Coyote sprints up the stairs, approaching the Gearhead and Lina as the screen winks off.**
PS: I will copy and repost this message if this is the last one of the week.

(Jim and Mare finally return to the party. Their hair is messed up, and their clothes seem a bit messed up. Rumors immediatley start flying about what they've been doing for the last few posts. Of course, most of the rumors are wrong.)
I normally try to avoid posting so close to my last one, especially when the room will soon be cleared, but there was a bit of info that had to be updated. Namely, the Timedancer countdown...
46 DAYS UNTIL TIMEDANCER SEASON 2! 45 IF YOU DON'T COUNT THE *THURSDAY* IT FALLS ON!
Coldstone- Actually, Doug asked about Bandit being immortal. I'm the one who brought it up in the first place, and was answering the question. I've seen every episode of the Real Adventures of Jonny Quest more than I care to count... Won't hold it against you, name mess ups happen a lot around here... And the bird's name was Haresh I think...
Duece- I actually have met Wierd Al in person, and the reason he gave me for his stuff taking so long is that he needs a good amount of stuff to parody when an album comes out. And since at the moment, all thats available is the Titanic song and Hanson, it isn't really his fault its taking so long for a new one. But it HAS been a while...
("So Jim, what HAVE you two been up to?"
"Well...")

HEATHER> Awesome pic! That's WAY better than I can do (remember my catgoyle doodle?)
DOUG re: STAR TREK: INSURRECTION> Oh, they show Riker w/out his beard. Actually, they show him getting it shaved off... but it's not him doing the shaving. hehehe.... I won't spoil the movie further. (I have a copy of the story... it's gonna whoop ass!)
ROBBY> You booked Weird Al? Hey, while he's there, ask him when his next CD is coming out. I've been waiting for two years since "Bad Hair Day".
COLDSTONE> We're waiting with baited breath. (I just had shrimp for lunch...)
I guess that's all... seeya tomorrow morning (probably @ lunch... I WILL read the story early).

TIMEDANCER> Again, I hope I don't go over my bounds here, but I have to make a comment on this (This is information is NOT set in stone, and is subject to change):
For all purposes, the premier of the first Timedancer episode is tenatively slated for January 7th, and each new TD ep will follow every thursday thereafter.
More info to follow, when it is made avalible.
Robby: Bandit became immortal on one of the new "The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest": it was when Hadji and Jonny returned to discover an ancient valley (something like Shangri-la) where a person could live forever by drinking water from the river therein. Trouble is, the valley would only appear for a short time every 500 years or so.
When they went to investigate, the Singh Sisters (twin daughters of Doctor Singh, Dr. Quest's long time nemisis) tried to steal a large quantity of the water before the valley disappeared. Jonny and crew foiled their plans, and everyone got out safely before being trapped in the valley for 500 years - including a falcon that Hadji now keeps as a pet - but, before they left, Bandit drank some of the water, thus becoming immortal.
Well, the story Spike and I wrote is premiering tomorrow! Hope it goes over well (is praying all day!), and everyone likes it!
Maintain and Check Six!

(Raphael and Brooklyn are still fighting. Its not too hard to guess who'll eventually win, remember what comment room this is. But elsewhere, people are shocked at who Jim has booked for music. "I was told it was gonna be meatloaf!" Nope, too controversial. "I heard it was gonna be Styx!" Nope, that come sail away song is too dang catchy. "I heard it was the beastie boys!" Acidentally booked the beach boys instead, and they're already attending as regular guests. "What about the Who?" Too many complications with the name. Skippy and Slappy once did a four minute sketch about that. "So who did he get?" At about that moment, the first few strains of "Achy Breaky Heart" start up. A groan can be heard surfacing. Jim has apparently booked Billy Ray Cirus.)
51 DAYS TILL THE NEW TIMEDANCER! 50 IF YOU DON'T COUNT THE ACTUAL TUESDAY! HOURS UNTIL THE NEW STORY...
SNL had a fun bit last night taken from ISKWYDLS, where two of the characters fell in love and went into song...
Wilek- Dern Lost Boys sounds like an interesting band. Perhaps they can assemble near the end of the party if things are going better for the band members later...
Heather- Trying is always the best thing to do, and you should never appologize for doing your best. Besides, the picture is pretty good. Sooo... Why aren't you at the party?
Jaden- Check around the party somewhere. I think Jim has set up an advanced screening of ST:I as well as SW:EO somewhere...
SJ- Frankie is suing Shelly for Slander? (Try saying THAT three times fast!)
Doug- Interesting creativity demon.
Jonny Quest's dog Bandit is immortal because at some point during the Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, he drank some magical water and now can't be killed, and he doesn't age. He's going to outlive Jonny!
Thought for the day...
"When people come in during the day, you ask them to sit down. When they came in late at night, you ask them to sit up. I'm trying to figure out when the two switch off, and what you do inbetween." -Victor Borge
(Most of the guests are annoyed, I mean, Billy Ray Sirus? They start looking for Jim to get an exlanation, but again, he and Mare have been missing for about four posts now. And suddenly, the audience is very relieved when they hear the odd lyrics... "You can torture me, with Donny and Marie, You can play some Barry Mannilow, Or you can play some shlock, like New Kids on the Block, or any village people song you know! But mister DJ please, I'm begging on my knees, I just can't take no more of Billy Ray!" The audience is relieved. It is NOT Billy Ray Cirus, but WIERD AL YANKOVITCH! Who else would sing at a party like this? Off in the distance, a small hobbit is attacking a dragon. "DIE SMOG!" "I'm not Smog! I'm Draco!" The hobit persists until a hand comes over his shoulder, and he sees James Bond. "I wouldn't be hurting that dragon if I were you," comes out the cool voice of Sean COnnery, "I happen to like him.")

**Shawn Michaels and Ravyn are sitting at a table, sipping on the punch. Following Coyote's advice, Rav has kept Shawn away from the poker game, but they've started placing bets on the fight between Brooklyn and Raphael. "Ten bucks on Brook." Ravyn says, and Shawn laughs. "Okay, fifteen on Raph," he says with a smile. From a balcony, Alex Wonder looks on, visibly 'tipsy' and throwing back shots of spiked punch like there's no tomorrow. Ravyn turns to address the room.**
SJ> *HBK hears SJ's 'two words' and stands up. "Oh, yeah?" he challenges, "well, I got two words for you..."*
Coyote> *Rav grins and tries not to laugh*
Doug> *laughs* I like the "Fairlane" idea...and I'd _love_ to see the look on Goliath's face...;) Also, if you want, me & Alex can accompany you on any mission. *Alex laughs loudly in the background* Ah, ignore him...I'd better go make sure he doesn't have any more of that punch...
**Ravyn walks up to where Alex is slumped against the wall, ready to pass out. "C'mon, man," Rav says, "no more punch for you, okay?" Ravyn sits down with the drunken garg and the party continues on...**

**The screen comes on. A large faculty meeting is going on at Highland High. Mr. MacVicker, the principal, is nervously wobbling back and forth as he speaks. "Our students are all vanishing," he whines to Buzzcut, Van Dreissen, Mr. Stevenson, and the rest. "I..I heard a rumor they've all joined some new cult." "Well, they better come back soon," Stevenson the math teacher says. "We're behind enough as it is." Suddenly Borgis and Butt-Borg break into the room, the former blowing away the Spanish and science teachers with his arm-laser-guns. "You dumbass," Butt-Borg yells. "We can't ass-im-uh-late those two now!" "Uh, oops." "Beavis and Butthead?" Van Dreissen asks. "What's the matter with you guys?" "We are here to make you all our minions," Butt-Borg says. "To help Master Guod take over the world. The streets will flow with the blood of those who are against us. Huh huh huh." "Uh," the hippie teacher asks. "Can you calm down, okay? And maybe we should call the police?" The two Borg-morons look at each other, extend the assimilation tools, then laugh as they advance on the faculty of Highland High.**
**The screen changes back to Jim's party, where Tricia has just gotten out of the poker game and is now dancing (she's still in her underwear and nothing else) to Tom Petty's "Mary Jane." Her jerk ex-boyfriend Josh Maness walks up to her, obviously very drunk, and sports a lewd grin. "Geez, Lindi," he laughs, using Tricia's first name. "Too bad I never got to see you like this. Can I see more?" Tricia growls and delivers a psychokinetically charged slap to the guy's face that gives him a heart attack with its strength. Josh falls to the floor dead, and the Ravens' psychic wipes her hand free of blood. Doug walks up to her, followed by Shenzi. "Dispose of that," Doug orders the caterer, who collects the body and moves off. Doug then turns to Trish. "Having fun?" She nods. "Until he showed up." "Yeah, I guessed that," Doug says. "Listen, we need to be leaving soon. This is great, but we have work to do, and we can party more after Thailog and company are totally and completely stopped. I'm collecting everyone and telling them to go upstairs and get some rest. After that's over, we're all leaving for the circus, okay?" Tricia looks like she agrees. "Can't I just stay down here a while longer, though?" she asks. "You might need my help to tear Jammer Jim away from his conquest attempts." "Right," Doug sighs. "Fine, do whatever. Use your best judgement. Just remember, Kitainia and I are going to sleep as soon as we tell everyone so. When we wake up, we get some breakfast, pack up, and then it's time to go. You should all be well-rested, and fully clothed, by then." "You got it," Tricia nods again, platonically pecking him on the cheek. Doug flashes her a grin and moves on to face the CR.**
Note to Coyote, Kyryn, Jaden, and their crews: Kitainia and I have pretty much stated our upcoming plans for what we will do next. If you guys want to come along with us, stay here, or go your own way, it's your own choice. The bikers and Ravens will all be staying with us, as will Agent Ripowski. Don't worry, though, we all plan to do a few more interesting things at the party before we leave.
Coyote again: Liked your new fic. (Spoiler Warnings.) Fairlane is a nice new comic relief good guy. Nice character development on Pontiac and Lex. Too bad Fairlane isn't really posessed by Elisa, though. I had this creativity demon I should share after reading part 23:
<The Fairlane has corned a certain large lavendar gargoyle against the wall of the Eyrie Building's garage. "Drive me, Goliath," it purrs in Elisa's voice. "Please..." "Elisa?" Goliath asks, clearly in shock.>
Comments on that? <grin> (Spoilers End.) Thanks for sending the group lists. Sounds like Lisa, Changeling, and Lillith are all in good groups, though I am somewhat concerned about what sparks might fly between Liberty, Changeling, and Graeme. Oh well, "Through the Ages," will soon be done, and then all my readers will get some idea of what MIGHT occur. :) Thanks also for letting us know Blaqthourne is on his way.
Heather: Nice pic of your African clan. Glad you are taking Deuce's suggestion about your clan. I think it is the best so far.
"Enemy of the State" Spoilers: Saw it this afternoon. Nice film. Will Smith did an Oscar-worthy preformance, Jon Voight was a good villain again, and Gene Hackman was nice too. The movie was both funny, interesting, and action-packed. A definite 10/10. The technology in there was nice, too. I liked all the surveillance gear they had. (Yes, the Illuminati of my fanfic universe has all of it and more.) Also saw "Meet Joe Black" again today, that is a wonderful film. Hopkins and Pitt both did Oscar-worthy, well-acted, and hilarious preformances, I liked the entire cast in their roles, and the dialogue and plot was well worth the movie's length. The biggest surprise of that movie, though, was Claire Furlani. She acted well in her role and also delivered a good preformance, when I was just expecting her to be a basic pretty face. Kudos to her. The end scene with her and Pitt, as well as the part where Pitt tells Hopkins and the bad guy he's an IRS agent, were my favorite scenes. :) Both these films I am definitely buying when they come out on tape.
Other movies I plan to see (and comment on in here): Prince of Egypt, You've Got Mail, Star Trek: Insurrection (in which I really hope they're not going to show Riker without his beard), The Faculty (saw its trailer today, it looks like a great X-mas gift from the makers of Dusk Till Dawn and Scream. Not only that, it's set in this town.), Civil Action, and of course Star Wars Episode 1 (saw the trailer for that today, too. It looks very interesting, to say the least). Looking forward to them all.
Robby: Jonny Quest's dog is immortal? I did not know that. Mind please sharing how it happened if you do?
That's all for now, I'll be back tomorrow after I read the new ep. G'Night!
**Doug walks on to the rodeo, which has by now gone on to its horse-racing event. Doug puts a hand on his elementary-school teacher and Ravens' wizard Lathrop's shoulder. Lathrop watches the horses cross the finish line, then turns around. "Rats," he says. "I had a bet on the one that almost won by a nose." "Sorry," Doug replies. "Look, we need to start calming down the fun and go upstairs to rest. We have a very big task ahead." "You're right, of course," Lathrop says. "Hopefully, all our collective strengths will be enough to get us through." Doug nods in agreement. "I'm pretty sure they will."**
**The screen changes to a small house in Highland, where an elderly bald man is answering his door. "Aren't you two the kids who stole my credit card, messed up my camper, ruined my garage sale, tore up my lawn, and made off with the Veterans' Hall's tank?" Tom Anderson asks, recognizing the two standing there. "That was two other kids, sir," Borgis says. "We're here to ass-im-uh-late you," adds his counterpart Butt-Borg. "What?" Anderson questions in shock, just as the screen goes blank. To be continued next time.**

**Sevarius Jr. is still on the Falcon, standing by and watching as Wilek and the Dark Star officials talk.
"You see, Frankie? I knew we'd figure out a cure for the Dragon Virus. Dragon blood as a cure--that's brilliant!"***
Wilek: Sorry about the teasing, honest. I was being my usual smart-ass self. Didn't know you were sensitive about such things, and I'm sorry.
Jaden: In the new prequels, we may just get to see the Sith War...I hope. Still, it's gonna rock!
Rapists: I read a torture technique once. Prisoners took over a jail, then they got a blowtorch and...well, burned off the gaurd's....you know. That HAS to be the worst.
Adam Sandler Fans: Billy Madison is (or was, depending on your time zone) on ABC tonight. "Shampoo is better! No, conditioner is better!" Funny stuff!
Cryway: I don't know, I'm lookin' forward to see what James and the boys do with Seger.
Geocities: My page is on Geocities. So far I haven't had any problems......so far. Plus I haven't updated it in about 3 months.
Zath: You're reading Frankenstein? Frankie would like to say something about that. Frankie?
*Frankenstein's Monster steps up.*
<Yeah, look: It's mainly a bunch of lies. Yep. I never killed anybody. I'm suing the Shelley estate for slander even today.>
Thanks, Frankie.
Coyote: Don't feel too bad that they laughed when your pants hit the floor....I mean, that's never happened to me but I can sympathize ;)
Ravyn: So, HBK is at your party, huh? Maybe when I drop in, I can have Stone Cold himself make a cameo. As for Shawn, I just got 2 words for you, pal: S....... IT!
**Sevarius Jr. turns to Frankenstein's Monster, who's standing beside him.
"Well, Frank, it looks as if everything's going okay with Wilek and those New Republic folks. Pretty soon, we'll be groovin' at the party!"
<Yeah. And I got something that'll make you want to get there all the sooner.>
"What do you mean?"
<Well, why'll you were in there getting some dragon blood from Draco, I sneaked in the party.>
"You're kidding! What'd you see?"
<You know how Demona was playing strip poker?>
"Yeah. And winning, dagnabit."
<Well, let's just say she lost a hand...>
Frankie pulls out some polaroids from his pocket, and shows them to SJ, who's eyes begin to grow as big as an anime characters (yes, that big).
"HOLY MARY, MOTHER OF GOD!!!!"
<Yeah, who knew she had a mole there?>

**The screen lights up, revealing the party getting wilder and wilder (not in the least bit toned down by Mr. Michaels' appearance!). Most of the male partiers have gravitated toward the strip poker game, as most of the players have lost most of their clothes. Senator Thurmond has been taken to the hospital, replaced (eagerly) by former Senator Bob Packwood. The cause of Sen. Thurmond's heart attack has not left, though: Demona continues to play, despite having lost her top.**
Okay, the deal's coming to me. Where are we now? **looks over the players at the table** Well, I think this will be our last hand, as I believe it is best to get out while you're ahead. Wouldn't you agree, Demona?
<"Ahhhh, shaddup and deal.">
Okay, it's your nudity. I'll make some replies while I shuffle and deal.
Interesting happenings: Those in here who frequent the other room, I had the distinct pleasure of having lunch today with Blaqthourne (without Crimson Fury), discussing all things Gargs and looking over his pictures from Gathering '97. Fun was had all around ... not to mention shrimp and frog legs (one of my guilty pleasures, I must confess!). Doug, Kitainia: he's moving to Austin within the next few months, if I recall right, just to give you guys a heads-up.
Anyway, FS: we're hoping to get together with you and LM sometime before he leaves, just thought I'd pass that along.
"Fairlane": Thanks for the compliments, guys! After reading through it (WARNING, SPOILERS), I did discover the similarities between the story and "Christine." Now I am a fairly well-read Stephen King fan, but to be honest, "Christine" was furthest from my mind when I wrote it. I was actually thinking about how that car was itself kind of like a character in the show: I mean honestly, that car would be a collector's item. Most of the folks I know of in Michigan who own '58 Fairlanes only bring them out for car shows and the Woodward Dream Cruise. It just struck me as odd when I first saw the show that Elisa would be driving a car that old, when it sees so much action.
From that evolved the idea that maybe there was something more to Elisa's Fairlane than met the eye. And in the grand tradition of KITT and Herbie, out evolved a possessed car that was lonely until Pontiac started fixing it up. (BTW, Traveler, for now the Fairlane is androgynous, until the nature of the spirit possessing it is known.)
And as far as character development on Pontiac goes ... well, let's see, I tried to show two major pieces of her personality; she's a certified mechanic and to some extent a thrillseeker. (END SPOILERS. YOU CAN LOOK NOW!)
Kitainia: Just sent you the team lists for both yourself and for Changeling and Lilith for Doug.
Doug: See above.
Heather: That might work. And a British, blonde Xena ... suddenly I have the overwhelming image of Finola Hughes in a leather bustier and bronze armor kicking serious Peloponnesian @$$. ;) (J/k)
Ravyn: Shawn Michaels, huh? Well, just one request: try to keep him away from the poker table. I think Demona's pride is bruised enough without having him come over.
<"HEY!">
No offense.
Heather again: Now that I've read Deuce's suggestion, I say go with it. It works best with what you want to do, I think.
Spike: Why do I suddenly have the image of the "Twister" episode of "Beavis and Butt-Head" when you talk about flying nachos? ;) Sounds like it's gonna be a winner.
Random weirdness for the day: While I was writing the above RP about Demona, I happened to have the most recent issue of Yahoo! Internet Life in front of me (with Marina Sirtis' photo on the cover, wearing a snakeskin outfit.). Now my mind's warped. **small, tiny voice** heeeellllllp meeeeeeeee .....
****RP!!****
**Coyote looks over his hand, then the rest of the players. Jaden has offered his pants for $100. Rosanna's offered her tunic (uh oh!!!!!). Even scarier, though: Demona's offered her skirt (quadruple uh-oh!!!).**
Okay, what's happening?
<"Call." "Out." "Call." "Call." "Out." "Out." "Not for me.">
Okay, and that leaves me to call. What have we got?
**Rosanna drops her hand.** <"Straight, nine to king.">
Verrry nice. Jaden?
**Jaden's whimpering. His head drops to the table as he drops his hand: two pair, queens high.**
Aww, too bad. Well, howzabout you?
**Demona drops her hand. It's the same as Rosanna's: straight, nine to king.**
Ahh, well. So much for my lucky streak. Aces high two pair. **Coyote drops his hand.** And with that, I believe I will call it a night on the poker. Thank you, ladies and Senators.
**Coyote stands up, just as his pants hit the floor. Everyone at the table is laughing as the screen winks off.**

(Brooklyn and Raphael are now in a vicious fist fight. "Your cartoon sucked!" Brooklyn yells at the turtle. "Your cartoon only lasted three years!" Raphael retorts. Shawn Michaels asks, "Should we stop them?" At this point, a familiar looking Ferangi speaks up. "Naah, this is entertainment. Care to place a few bets on the winner? Play dabo perhaps?" Quark gives a pointy toothed smile.)
Spike- Ohay, the flying nachos teaser has got my interest.
Coyote- I finally finished all your stories off. Good stuff, can't wait to see how it all ends.
Kitania- Remember, its a mansion, there's plenty of guest rooms. Geez, I wonder where Draco is going to sleep though. He's kinda big...
Deuce- I don't know why Inspector Clouseau is at the party. You ask him.
Wilek- Nachos, nachos, nachos... Oh no, not again...
(Somewhere else at the party, possibly at the part with the rides, all the immortals at the party are meeting each other. Macbeth, Demona, various members of the Highlander cast, and Jonny Quest's dog Bandit. Would be an interesting encounter if anyone paid some attention to it. But, most people are paying attention to the band which has just arrived. "Jim actually booked this for the music?" Someone asks incrediously. Unfortunatley, Jim is nowhere to be seen, he is STILL off with Mare doing something. Anyone care to guess what?)

[Wilek, Miriam, Jake, Teri, Anoth, Forfexx, Raoul, the remaining Doom Commandos, the Dark Troopers, SJ, Frankie, and Dark Mage Wilek are in the Falcon in Earth orbit, about to dock with the Dark Star. W: "Alright everyone, here's the plan one last time (so I won't forget it ^_^ ): We take care of things here, then get some armament for later, then go back for SJ's fighter, then attend the party. When that's over, we'll make some replacement Doom Commandoes and continue trying to sever Thailog's connections to the Dark Jedi Order. Oh, and Traveler? Look, I would have devoted a lot of time and energy to finding a cure for your virus even if there weren't a deadly version. I'm sick of having to deal with the stupid thing. Friends just don't *do* this to friends. By the way, we found out that your version and the deadly one weren't so different after all. It seems that the annoying version would have degenerated into the deadly one anyhow; that degradation was simply artificially accelerated, probably by Thailog's forces at Area 51. Fleur and SJ have determined that making a stable, non-deadly version is impossible. And you think *you're* on the outs with the Republic? I just pray that no one says my name in front of the New Rep ambassadors. The last Wilek Nereus they tripped over was an Imperial demented psychotic lunatic who implanted gut-eating worms in people just to see what would happen." The Falcon enters the docking bay.]
Jaden> I agree about a Sith War movie. Rockin'!
Ravyn> <<Uh-oh, what's _that_ mean? ;)>> Well, I'll tell you this much: the plan was kind of inspired by the TGS ep "Two". In other words, you probably won't come out of it looking like Freddy Krueger.
Heather> Well, what I would do for the animal transformation thing is: When they're hurt, it heals when they turn back to gargoyles, and vice versa. Of course, Deuce's idea is better...
Spike> Flying nachos? Oh no, another virus...nachos, nachos, nachos, nachos, nachos, nachos,..good thing it'll be gone in two days...
[The Falcon docks with the Dark Star. The airlock opens to reveal several New Republic officials and Dark Star stormtroopers. Wilek and the officials exchange greetings, then Wilek gets down to business: "I'm here to transfer custody of the Millenium Falcon and the two droids therein to whoever owns them now. As for the bodies of Han Solo and Chewbacca, Miriam here can provide pickup coordinates. I can officially say that no Earth government was responsible for their deaths, and we apologize for this senseless tragedy. By the way, R2 contains a sample of a deadly virus that was put there for safekeeping; please destroy the sample, preferably by throwing it into a black hole. Now, if there's nothing further, there's an emergency situation that requires our attention." The team runs to the Dark Star's bio-lab. To be continued...]

HEATHER> "The offer" was just that I'm always here to listen, if you need to vent. Oh, and I have an awesome idea for your gargs: it's based on my RP character. You can use freely. Your gargoyles can be flesh or stone (voluntary shift), unless they choose to be stone by day, in which case they change to flesh at sunset. While they are flesh, they can become animal or garg w/ just a thought.
SPIKE> Nachos? *shakes head* You're weird. But still my fave author. :-)

**The screen comes on. A small kid with long blonde hair wearing an "I love unicorns" T-shirt is answering his doorbell. "Beavis and Butt-head?" Stuart asks, looking at the two Borg-drones waiting for him. "What's with all the weird black stuff you got on?" "We have come to ass-im-uh-late you, Stuart," barks Borgis. "We have already done it to Todd and his gang, now we will do it to you. Heh heh heh." "Um, guys?" the suddenly panicked Stuart whines. "Are you okay?" "Yes, Stuart," Butt-Borg intones, extending some assimilation tentacles his way. "Uh, like, be not afraid. It is better than scoring. Huh huh huh." "But, Butt-Borg, we never have scored!" Borgis roars, accompanying Stuart's loud scream, as the screen changes to the party at Jim's house.**
**There, Kitainia has just sunk the last pool ball when a big guy with long brown hair and mustache (he looks like Sturm Brightblade in jeans, black leather, and a Metallica T-shirt) comes up behind her. "Yo, Lis," Cobra MacTaggart grins, slapping her on the back with the arm that bears his namesake in a tatoo. "What's up?" "Nothing much," Kitainia replies, answering Cobra's slap with a high-five. "The letter explained our situation. You ready to help?" "Everyone's here," Cobra grins. "But can we please have a little fun first? This is the best party to which we've ever been!" "Go right ahead," Doug says from the other side of the table. "We have to get Tricia to put her clothes back on, sober up Stephanie, and get everyone else to finish what they're doing before we can leave. Plus, we all have to take a nap before we head out. Saving the world is quite fatiguing work." Cobra smiles. "Thanks!" he then says. "We'll see you around. I'll make sure everyone doesn't have too much fun." He waves and walks off. Kitainia nods at Doug, then turns to face the CR.**
Kyryn and Fleur: I will miss y'all as well. Get back soon please.
Wilek: You found a Dragons virus vaccine? Great! Congratulations! Now hurry up and distribute it before that escaped lab mouse can infect anyone else! Thanks fro bringing the bikers over on your way.
Traveler: Thanks for the Mech operations manual. Gubio was looking for that. He and his fellow would-be modifiers are so far doing well.
Coyote: (Spoiler Warning!) Just got done with your latest. Nice job. I liked the character development on Lex and Pontiac. I liked the car, too. It's good to have Christine's (as in Stephen King's creation, not Ms. Morgan) good counterpart on your side. Wonder exactly whose spirit is posessing that car. Is it Elisa's? And does Coyote the Trickster have anything to do with it getting there? <grin> Anyway, good job once more! Looking forward to the next part! (Spoilers End.) BTW, I know you don't have your scanner hooked up yet, so you can't show us any more pics. But can you at least tell me who else will be in my group? If not yet, that is okay, but I am really dying to know.
Robby: Thanks for the countdown. I will be waiting patiently for Timedancer to begin. About the party, the Ravens, the bikers, Janice, Doug, and myself will only be staying a little while longer. We have work to do in town this is distracting us from, and we have to go do it. But don't worry, we're going to stay in here at least long enough to do a few more things and then sleep off all the fun (the fact that we're both going off-line for the Thanksgiving weekend should nicely cover the sleep period). You do have guest rooms where we can do that, right? <grin>
Oh, and just so you know, the following bad guys are definitely NOT at the party:
1) Guod and Asil. They want to save their partying energy for when they win, as if they will.
2) Borgis, Butt-Borg, and their growing crew of assimilated supporting cast members. They have too much other work on their minds.
3) The Fundamentalist Extreme's members. Partying, dancing, drinking, and just about everything else that's going on here is seen as sinful and evil in their insanely corrupt and misguided eyes.
4) Masked Magician. But, as you can see if you look down the page, he just left.
Anyone else is fair game for the partygoers' laughs (just please don't start killing them off, we have plans for them all). Even the bad hacker Tyl might be here somewhere. Enjoy!
Waiting eagerly for the new episode tomorrow night. Now, if you'll excuse me, Doug and I are off to see "Enemy of the State." Later all!
**Kitainia notices three people coming in, and rushes to the men's room. "Stephanie!" she shouts, helping her sick-looking sister to her feet. "They're here!!" "Who's here?" Stephanie moans, her head waving back and forth. "Methos and the McLeods! Didn't you always want to meet them?" "Really?" Stephanie crows, suddenly ecstatic. "Gangway!!" She leaps up and runs off, nearly crashing into the three Highlander stars. "Connor! Duncan! Methos!" she squeals in esctasy at them. "Hello!" Then she falls into Methos's arms and throws up all over his coat. Methos, looking disgusted, turns to the McLeods. "Remind me again why we came here," he says. Kitainia, who has been watching the whole thing, shakes her head slowly and grins. "If doing that doesn't get her to stop drinking, I don't know what will."**
**Meanwhile, back in Highland, Borgis and Butt-Borg, now joined by the assimilated Stuart and Todd's gang, are getting ready to leave. "Let's get some more muscle, Butt-Borg," Borgis suggests. "Earl and Buzzcut would be great additions to our side!" "Yeah," Butt-Borg laughs along, his telescopic eyes widening in joy. "And Mr. Van Dreissen, who like Stuart, will no longer be a wuss once he is ass-im-uh-lated. On to Highland High. Huh huh huh." They pile into their tank, Leroy's car, and Todd's car as the image fades. To be continued next time.**

**The party at Robby's mansion in San Antonio is still in full swing as a figure glides in through one of the large windows. The gargoyle, Alex Wonder, lands, letting Ravyn out of his arms so she can address the party-goers.**
Hey, everybody! Thought I'd join the fun! Alex flew all last night so we could get here and party! (Although try to keep me away from the spiked punch; I have a low alcohol tolerance. *wink*)
Coyote> GREAT job on the new story! It was neat to see the ol' Fairlane back in action. Maybe Elisa can still fight with the clan after all...:) Excellent job!
**RP!**
**Alex comes up and taps Ravyn on the shoulder. He whispers something in her ear, and Ravyn immediately runs toward the door. At the door is San Antonio's own Heartbreak Kid, the sexy Shawn Michaels! (click on my name to see some pics of him. *grin*) Apparently, he heard about the party and decided he had to make an appearance. Ravyn's jaw drops at the sight of Shawn, and she nearly faints. Good ol' Shawn is there to catch her, though! ;) Arm-in-arm, Ravyn and Shawn tour the mansion to say hi to everyone. As they walk off, a stunned Alex Wonder watches, a hint of jealousy showing in his blue eyes...**

(Brooklyn glares at the turtles. "And WHAT are you doing here?" He is clearly angry. "Um, we were invited?" one of the creatures suggests.)
52 DAYS TILL TIMEDANCER SEASON 2. OR 51 IF YOU DON'T COUNT THE ACTUAL TUESDAY ITSELF.
Deuce- The rapist tortures are nastier than the Lawyer deaths because the rapists deserve it. The Lawyer only got killed because we could kill him repeatedly, not because we didn't like him.
Jaden- I'll handle the Timedancer countdown. You might take it a bit too far... Look, I'm even providing double counts depending on personal preferance!
Traveler-Nother big post from you. What else is new?
The Party- This thing is going to go until you people say otherwise. So keep on having fun, and when it has been almost unanimously decided that it needs to end, I'll handle the closing ceremonies. This can go on for a few more weeks if you guys want it to. It seems like everyone is having a good time, I know I would be having fun if Jim would let me attend. And think, this party was only being thrown because the RPers were visiting San Antonio! Wait until theres a REAL event to celebrate...
(Brooklyn looks around to Jim for confirmation on this. But Jim and Mare have been missing for the last few hours after she dragged him off somewhere. So Brooklyn approaches the security guard. The guard's reply? "The turtles are fuels!" "Fuels?" "Yes, you know! A fuel is a stupid person." "Oh, you mean fools." "That is what I said!")

When you think about it, I had a hand in almost wipeing out all life on Earth...Kick @$$!!! *takes out a small plastic card and colors in a square on it* One more time and I win a toster oven! *hehehehahaha* *Fleur and everyone else on the bridge looks at him with murder in their eyes* Traveler: What?! What did I say?! Oh...that "all life on Earth thing", right... Anywho, just who did mutate my creation? Where are we going that's so important that we have to miss Jim's party? And where did that little rolling mini-fridge go to? I put some left over pizza, pepsi, and the samples of the deadly version of the virus in there. You know the one I'm talking about, it was right next to that anoying gold-colored droid...Uh oh. Fleur: Wait a minute, the party's a good idea, but shouldn't you be going with SJ and Wilek to the Dark Star to help with the virus? Traveler: Um, no. You see the New Republic and I arn't exactaly the best of friends. I mean they really can't do anything about me but, it's best that when Wilek is smoothing things over with the Republic reps. that I'm not there. Fleur*curious*: And why would that be? Traveler: Lemme put it this way, back in the "good old days", the Emperior, Vader, and I would have an occaional Parchessie game. Fleur: Ah, alright... Traveler: Except we used rebel spies as the game pieces, and well, we never used the same game pieces twice if you catch my drift. Fleur: Remind me again why you're on our side? Traveler: I'm board, this is fun, and this dimentional Earth happens to be one of the ones that I have a summer place on. Besides that, things are a lot more entertaining with Bill Clinton around, don't you agree? *the screen fades out as the war ship reverses its' course, and starts to gead back to the party.**

Heather: Just had an idea to solve your dilemma ... what about some kind of condition, or spell, or whatever that makes their gargoyle biorhythms run in reverse (i.e. has them awaken at dawn and turn to stone at sunset)? Okay, that doesn't leave a lot of room for normal interaction with other gargs, but it does allow them to protect during the day. Or maybe their biorhythms run in reverse, but they can snap themselves out of stone sleep at will?
Wilek: Thanks for the comments!

**Jaden stumbles out of bathroom with a dazed look on his face. Only two questions were coming to his mind as he made his way back to the party. 1)What was he thinking when he drank that bottle of floor cleaner, and 2) who was that woman in the stall next to him? "One thinks for sure," he said returning to the party. "I'm never going to do anything that stupid again...oooo a poker game." Screen goes black**
Timedancer countdown: 52 days, 3 hours, 15 minutes, 14 seconds. 52 days, 3 hours, 15 minutes, 15 seconds. 52 days, 3 hours, 15, minutes...AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Someone stop me!!!!

[Wilek, Miriam, Jake, Teri, Anoth, Forfexx, Raoul, the remaining Doom Commandos, the Dark Troopers, Frankie, and Dark Mage Wilek are in the Millennium Falcon, which is parked on Jim Noying's front lawn with Fleur's Bird Of Prey. The bikers are in the mansion waiting for the Ravens to pick them up, TRC's at the party, and SJ's in there too... Wilek: "So, Traveler's Dragon Virus isn't the one that was killing us...but they're so similar that when we find a way to cure one, we'll cure the other too. Anyhow, SJ said that he and Fleur and Traveler discovered that there was something in there they needed--" Wilek is interrupted by an earth-shattering roar from within the mansion. SJ runs out holding a huge hypodermic needle full of a reddish liquid. He runs onto the Falcon. SJ: "Get us outta here! He's REALLY ticked off!" W: "Who?" Draco the dragon then stalks out of the mansion and heads for the ships, which take off and manage to outfly him. Draco gives up and heads back to the party. W: "SJ, what was that all about?" SJ: "We found out that dragon blood contains a magically-enhanced protein that acts as an antibody against both forms of the Dragon Virus! That's why direct exposure to them in the upcoming TGS dragon war story would have cured us! We're saved!"]
Rape Punishments> Oh...How 'bout leaving them naked at the South Pole? Or using Middle Ages-style thumbscrews on a different part of the body than the thumb? Or perhaps spraying them with some form of acid. Maybe letting a rat eat through their abdomen. Infecting them with some deadly but non-contagious disease? Letting a face-hugger loose near them (Raoul's not a facehugger BTW, he's a fully grown xenomorph)?
SJ> The next person who says anything like that to me about my mistake will get one or more of the above punishments. In RP and just maybe in RL. I am VERY VINDICTIVE about that kind of thing. The CR is NOT the place for teasing someone just because of an honest mistake. That can be very hurtful, even in jest.
Kyryn> I was just thinking that about Wavers and Seri. Where are they? Where have they been?
Coyote> I read your latest story. They just keep getting better and better...
Heather> Wow, I really liked your idea of the African clan turning into their animal counterparts during the daytime; it's too bad you can't use it. And I'm sorry about earlier.
Oh, there's finally a set premiere date for TimeDancer season 2?! YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!

This one (like most of mine) hasn't been written yet, but...[A TIE Defender timegates into the present from the future, lands on the lawn, and out steps someone in black armor and a black helmet. This individual, Omega, walks into the mansion. He draws his lightsaber and prepares for a fight when he sees all the bad guys that are in attendance, but Jim explains to him that bad guys aren't allowed to start anything here. Omega nods and then proceeds to replicate a CD of Europe's "The Final Countdown", put it in the CD player, and rock out to it.]
Dumlao> Illegal did so well last time that she's getting repeat business: "Brave Hearts" from "Ernest Goes To Camp". It was played both during the movie and during the closing credits.
Jaden> <<"Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go throw up now.">> Wonderful quote!
[W: "Alright, we have a cure for the Virus. Wait...Kitainia said that Orion could make this thing even more effective by encoding some magic into it--" Orion has been listening in on the CR's comm channel. He teleports in, casts a spell on the blood sample, and teleports back to wherever he was before. W: "Wow, you people sure are efficient." SJ: "What about my TIE Scimitar?" W: "There's been a change of plans. This shouldn't take long. First we're going to the Dark Star to cure the Dragon Virus and clear things up with the New Republic, then we'll go back for your ship, then come to the party. When the party's over, we're going back to your lab to whip up replacements for the Doom Commando cyberdemon and two cyber-imps that were killed at Area 51." The Falcon flies off to the Dark Star, and Fleur's Bird Of Prey flies off to wherever she's taking it. Meanwhile, at Jim's mansion, several Zerg Hydralisks (essentially xenomorphs with praying-mantis arms and slug tails, in case you don't have StarCraft) slither into the party and get themselves roaring drunk.

COYOTE> I hate GeoCities. With a PASSION. I'm currently on my fourth account in two-and-a-half years. Don't ask. (RE: razor blades) Oh, God! You're sick! But I like Zath's sandpaper-castration idea better. *shudders*

Oh, and is it just me, or are we more creative in devising punishments for the second-lowest creatures on earth (after child molesters/murderers) than we were in killing the lawyer?

**The screen comes on. Borgis and Butt-Borg are sitting on their mangy old couch, watching Natalie Imbruglia's "Torn" video. Borgis: "I don't understand it, Butt-Head! She keeps saying she's naked and they don't show her!! Why don't they show her?" Butt-Borg: "Uh, settle down, Borgis. And remember, I'm Butt-Borg now." <chiming noise> Borgis: "What's that?" Butt-Borg: "The phone is ringing. <picks it up> Uh, hello?" Guod (on other end of line): "This is your boss. I'm calling to give you two morons another chance at helping us take out the Ravens. But we're going to need some more muscle. Find that gang you two are always trying to belong to. Assimilate them, then all of you come on to San Antonio. Got it?" Butt-Borg: "Like, okay, Master Guod. We'll get them right away. Huh huh huh." <hangs up>**
**The scene switches to MrNoying's party, where Doug is being chewed out by Agent Janice Ripowski. "Do you know how drunk all these people are?" she asks him. "This music is also terrible! And the suggestions some of them keep making to me, urgh! How much longer must we stay here, Mr. Elder? We do have work to do, you know." "Yes, yes," Doug replies. "Don't worry. As soon as Cobra and the other bikers show up, we'll collect ourselves and get on to the Alamodome." "I'm especially worried about your team's conduct tonight, Mr. Elder," Janice goes on. "Your Quickling immortal is in the wrong bathroom, throwing up right beside that werewolf creature we picked up. Your psychic investigator is sitting in her underwear at a poker table, stripping for cash. Messrs. Shapiro and Gaist have already used up practically all their spell energies trying to unspike the punch, your driver and demolition man is making catcalls and lewd remarks to almost every female in the room, and don't get me started on what I think is in the sandwiches you all have eaten tonight! And that's only what your team is doing! We need to get out of here before everyone goes nuts." She looks hysterical. Doug hands her a glass of wine and advises that she try to calm down, and hopefully it won't be much longer before Kitainia's Hell's Angel pals arrive with Wilek and his friends. Janice nods that she hops so and walks off to find a place to hide from all the things she cannot stand. Doug turns to face the Comment Room.**
Geez, that woman is no fun! Oh well, at least we're enjoying this experience. <very big grin>
Robby: Yes, thanks for holding the party, and the countdown as well. Sorry if Kitainia said you wanted fanfic characters here. That part of the post should have gone to Zath.
Sevarius Jr.: Sounds like the Dragons virus has become the deadliest disease on Earth. Hope you take care of it soon, and find a cure. As for Pinky, hope you are able to track him down and kill him before he can spread it. Sorry we can't help you, we're kinda tied up right now with the party and the upcoming attack on the Circus to stop Thailog and the Masked Magician's mind control plot. Good luck.
Kyryn and Fleur: Miss you both, until you return.
DumlaoX: Thanks for fixing the pic. I will be awaiting whatever suprises are in store.
Coyote: Sorry Geocities went down like that. Believe me, if I could get Gubio away from his mech modifications right now, I'd have him try to hack into the Geocities server and get it back up. He might be able to actually do it, he's accomplished some pretty nifty Internet hacking feats. Among his greatest triumphs are getting into the NationsBank company's mainframe accounts computer and fixing all its Y2K problems before having to spike (see the movie Goldeneye to get the reference) and escape; and breaking into the highest levels of security in the government's computers, then downloading a few of their secrets (peaceful stuff, no weapons) and distributing them to conspiracy sites all over the Web. He truly is the world's most scrupulous hacker, too bad he can't help. Anyway, I hope the server gets back up soon so you can upload. If you get the chance, please send a copy of your latest (and the Clan Austin pic, if it is yet done) to my or Kitainia's e-mail address.
Heather: Ack, quite a dillema you have there. Either the necklaces, changing into animals, or the Demona spell are the only ways I can think of to keep them awake. Sorry. On the plus side, since they are in Africa, maybe you could have them bump into the werepanthers Tea and Fara Maku (from the episode Mark of the Panther) or even visit the city of Anansi. Angie Ippolito is another fanfic writer, by the way.
That's all for now, see you people next time.
**Doug turns to walk over to the pool tables and sink a few balls. Kitainia is already there doing so herself. The other Ravens are still doing what they were last time. Suddenly loud shouts of "WOO HOO!! erupt from the strip poker game along with a Polaroid shutter snap. Doug looks over there and rolls his eyes as he emits a loud groan and Tricia puts her camera away. "That is so out-of-character for Demona," he mutters to himself.
Meanwhile, over against the wall, the Masked Magician (who has come unmasked so he will not be recognized) is talking on his cell phone to Asil. "I'm heading over to the circus now," he says. "Lots of preparations to do for the plot. I've left an agent behind to keep you posted on developments. Right now, lots of good guys are here, and more are arriving every minute. They could be a problem for you and your troops." "Don't worry," Asil snaps. "I have a plan." "Yes, I know," says the Masked Magician with a sneer. "And so far everything is going according to it. Thailog and everyone else from our team who came along, except for Josh and Sevarius, is already passed out from drink, by the way, you have nothing to worry about from them. Last I heard, the security people were taking them to sleep it off upstairs. I trust Guod will teleport them back before they can be interrogated?" "He will," says Asil. "I am so angry they had to all endanger themselves like that. Not to mention the plan. Sometimes I think you, me, Guod, and Pastor Paul are the only ones really dedicated to the cause." "I think that too," smiles M.M. "See you at the circus, good bye." He nods at a tall and muscular black-haired man dressed in jeans and a shirt that says "Hunting is Life," then leaves the mansion. The man, who happens to be Tricia's ex-boyfriend Josh Maness, shrugs and watches him go, then continues to kick back beers. The party goes on.**
**The screen changes to Highland Park, where Todd and his gang (including his girlfriend Gina, Mr. Sanders, the big guy who never speaks; his former arch-rival Leroy, and four more goons) are sitting on a bench smoking cigarettes. Buttis and Butt-borg walk up to them and say hi. "Go away, you little t&*ds," Todd orders them. "I ain't in the mood right now to mess with youse. By the way, that's some awful strange gear you got on." "We have come to take over your gang, Todd," Butt-Borg laughs. "Huh huh huh." "Oh yeah?" Todd roars, leaping up and dropping his beer can. "You two are asking for it bigtime now. Let's get them!" The gang members all hop up and draw weapons. They then advance on the morons, who continue to laugh. "You will be ass-im-uh-lated," Butt-Borg intones, he and Borgis extending the equipment that allows them to do that and keeping up the laugh. "To be continued" flashes, and the screen fades out.**

53 MORE DAYS TILL TIME DANCER SEASON 2 PREMIERE!
Heather- Cool idea, yes.
THE PARTY- The party is meant to be a huge crossover fun thing free for all, everybody do feel free to invite whoever you want, and do pretty much whatever you want, though wait on killing the CR Lawyer. That's how we're going to end the festivities... But the party will continue going until everyone gets tired of it, or we start running out of party ideas. So anybody who hasn't had a chance to arrive yet, you still have plenty of time probably. And mind you, EVERYONE is invited to come... And even if you miss it, Jim throws one of these big parties every couple of months, and he tops them EVERY time... Hmm, Demona's stoned and topless? Man, I wish Jim had invited me to the party...
Wilek- I would hold that particular name mispelling against you and mock you about it, but I won't since I'm bound to make a similar mistake eventually, since I post in here every day...
Coyote- All good creativity movies, yes... And what singer are you reffering to? If you truly think you'll get in trouble, you can e-mail me the answer, or put the blame on me when you post it... Either way. I'm just curious.
Stephen "Coldstone" Sobotka, Jr.- Your teasers have no affect on me. I don't care for the cold trio... at... alll... Dangit! SO I"M LYING! I WANNA SEE MORE OF THEM! Stop with the teasing already!
Rolling Calf- The Dragonheart soundtrack is ALL instumental, very good, and you can probably find it for 12 bucks at your local Target.
Fleur- Every living thing on earth perish? Eww...
Jaden-Attend the party. Enjoy. And yes, SW and ST:I are a long way off... Sigh...
Kitania- I never said to bring in fanfic characters, but I like the idea! Everbody, go ahead and do just that!
SJ- Pinky with the dragon virus? Hoo boy... And once again, the party will probably go for a while yet, you'll be able to attend later. And if not, there will be another a few months from now...
Cyrway- Good choice for dead musicians. They were the best.
**Jim begins to head over to the stip poker table, its his job to make sure all the guests are having fun, and he tries to partake in EVERY activity... Unforunatley, his girl friend Mare cuts him off. "Jim, you're coming with me!" Mare grabs him by the arm, and starts running him off to some unknown destination... Meanwhile, a large green and yellow van parks, and five rather large turtles look about, and high three each other. Venus comments, "We made it to one of Jim's parties! YES!" Michelangelo dignifies this with a "Duuude..." Leonardo nods, this is a good thing. Donatello looks around for one of the Sevarius', and Raphael frowns as he sees a beaked, red garoyle with white hair approaching...**

Get me a gun. I want to shoot the Geocities system admin who decided in his infinite wisdom to shut down the entire server.
Yep, Geocities is still down. I can get stuff done sporadically with the File Manager, but FORGET about accessing pages! The new story *is* up, it is in my space. You just can't get through to it.
Anybody who suggests e-mailing Tech Support: the last time I did that, I got a returned mail-user unknown message, which basically says that Geocities has no tech support because it's being run by MONKEYS!!!

**The screen lights up to reveal Coyote, Jason, the Gearhead, Rosanna, Tricia, Demona, Ted Kennedy, Carl Levin and Strom Thurmond seated at the table still deeply involved in the strip poker game. Everyone has lost at least one piece of clothing, save Demona, who still seems to be winning every hand despite her stoned condition.**
Hey guys. I don't know how she's doing it, but Demona's still won every hand thus far. (BTW, we're playing a "bid" style of poker, you give up a piece of clothing for $100 to bet, just FYI.)
<"Are you gonna gab, or are you gonna deal?">
Oops, almost forgot, it's my turn to deal. Okay, while I'm shuffling, let's make some replies.
Crisis update: Geocities is still being quite agitating, but I did manage to get the new story uploaded. Click my name to go to the new fic, "Fairlane." Find out what Pontiac does in her spare time.
Coldstone: We're waiting with bated breath!
Fitting rape punishments: OWWWCH!! **composes self** Sorry. But if you want true pain and suffering ... why don't we try one system I came up with once as the most painful experience for a male to endure. WARNING! ALL THOSE WITH WEAK STOMACHS PASS BY THIS!! ==If you're going for true pain, tie the rapist up naked and slide him down the world's longest razor blade by his ... ahem ... and at the end have him land in a big vat of vinegar and/or ammonia. BIIIIG fun! SQUEAMISH CAN TURN BACK TO ME NOW!!
Then again ... a magazine article I read once suggested (partly in jest) that rapists be forced to watch 24/7 hard-core pornography for eight years straight. The author guaranteed that every sexual urge in the culprit would permanently be gone at the end of that time.
Fleur, TRC: Hope to see you guys back soon!
Jaden: I was wondering where the empty bottle of Pine Sol came from ...
Green Baron re Teddy Kennedy: Have you ever seen Ted Kennedy's INWO card? He's missing his pants, the bottom half of his body is soaked, and he's pouring himself a glass of champagne while a car behind him sinks into the river (think Chappaquiddick).
Cyrway: AA next week! YEE-HAWW!! **composes self once more** Sorry. But I'm looking forward to it.
Heather: Did you have a backup plan on how the clan stays awake? I'm racking my brain for you, and for the life of me I can't think of anything other than what I've already used for Rosanna and Angela (the same spell that's on Demona). But I really hope you don't get in trouble. Plagiarism is a really hard thing to disprove.
***RP!!!***
**Coyote tosses his ante, then offers his shirt (he's lost his jacket) for another $100. The rest of the table offers their antes. Much to everyone's surprise, Demona has to borrow, putting up her halter-top (uh oh!)**
Okay, what's everybody want to do?
<"I'm out." "Too rich for me." "Out." "No way." "Call." "Fold." "Out." "Not for me.">
Okay, Demona, it's just you and me. I call. Let's see what you've got. **Demona gives him an "I-can't-believe-you-just-said-that smirk** Sorry. Show your hand.
**Demona drops her hand. Full house, kings high. Coyote whistles.**
Well now, that's pretty hard to beat. **looks at hand** But I think I can rise to the occasion. **drops hand** Full house, aces high. Give it up, lady.
**Demona rolls her eyes, begins to remove her top. All eyes are upon her, some more than others: Ted Kennedy is drooling like a rabid dog. All this excitement is way too much for Sen. Thurmond, who collapses. The paramedics rush to the 99-year-old senator's aid as the screen winks off.**

**Zath screams in anger and disbelief.** Sorry, but I just had a big post eaten by a netscape crash moments before I could send it. Hopefully I can remember most of what I said the first time...
Fanfic Archive> Does anyone know if the new archive will have a list of stories arranged alphabetically by title, or just by author like the old one?
Coyote> Isn't the party already pretty much a free-for-all anyway? : ) But seriously, I don't want everyone to feel obligated to drag all their characters in here and spend the time giving them all major parts. I was thinking more along the lines of lots of amusing little cameo appearances.
I guess I might as well add a character of my own. **There is another flash of light and suddenly a reddish-grey web-winged garg wearing a long black coat with the sleeves rolled up appears at the party. He looks around, blinks once, grabs a glass of punch, and then vanishes into the crowd.** The fic he's from is still in the extremely sketchy planning stage, but I hope to finish it eventually. If anyone cares, his name is Latigo.
Green Baron> This was the punch that was made to replace the punch that went up in flames. I guess we just have to admit that keeping the punch non-alcoholic at this party is a losing battle.
Deuce> Too soft? It takes a long time to remove part of someone's body using sandpaper, even if it is a relatively small part. A garlic press would be too fast. Let's compromise. We can use the garlic press on the fingers and toes while we get medieval on the rest of his anatomy.
That's all I can remember at the moment. I'm sure I'll remember the rest as soon as I turn off the computer, oh well. This is going to be my last post for a while because I have so much homework this weekend. I need to work on my research paper, reed more of Frankenstein, do all of a science project I should have started weeks ago, pick and research one of the Amendments for government class, and on top of all that I have to write a story using the characters from the movie Legend (my creative writing teacher is making up the cirriculum as she goes along).

Well , this idea came to me from a dream but I made the clan look animal-like not because of Africa but so like the clan in South America they can stay up in the day. But very different.
They turn into their counter-parts. Like Vaui turns into a zebra , Lawna turns into a cheetah , Morowa turns into a lioness , Mahazet turns into a Onyx(sp) ,Busara & Omorede turn into wild-dogs. But they can tell each other apart from the real animals from the necklaces they wear.

And I'm looking in tradical(sp) clothing. Like kinds what Sata has for her clothing.
And ages for the African clan ? Oh , Vaui is the leader.
Lawna,Busara, & Morowa are around the same age has Angela.
Mahazet is Cavall's age.
Vuai is like in human years he's 38.
Omorede is Busara's little brother just minus 10 years.
And I'm going to put it like in the Savannah near a village. And the people in that village believe that the animals are fighting back at the poachers that are killing the animals.
And guess how they save the animals that poachers try to kill in the daytime ?

REACTIONS-- It seems that overall, the reaction to the DA delay was taken pretty well. And here I was worried that everyone in here would tar and feather me :P Again, when DA gets on the air, it will be worth the wait.
TIMEDANCER COUNTDOWN-- Heh, I wish this lab had a calendar in it. OK, for now, so we can get a countdown going, gun for the second Tuesday of January. Now, everyone, start counting.
MADDOX PIC BEFORE-- Um, that was a mistake. Planning for the new comment room and I made a slight error. Sorry <:) As you can see now, it has been returned to normal.
ED-- Good question about the fate of Gargoyles/Pendragon in season 3. Honestly, the staff hasn't decided what to do about that. Right now, we are primarily concentrating on Finishing up writing and editing the TD, Garg/Pen eps as well as planning out DA. Trust me, once we know what happens, you'll know what happens.
ROLLING CALF-- Dragonheart Instrumental, eh? As far as I remember, the whole soundtrack is one huge instrumental piece. I'll have Illegal dig up as many Dragonheart MP3s he can find.
MISSING CHARACTERS-- No one seems to have any faith in us, eh? *looks down, shakes his head, and laughs* Remember, surprises are good :)
Till next time...

Hi All,
Concerning the Gargoyles costumes, I just received a "snail mail" letter from the McCall Pattern Co.
McCalls said in their letter,
"Your request for a costume depicting a gargoyle from the television program, 'Gargoyles', has been submitted to our desigbn department for consideration in the planning of future pattern collections.
"As the number of requests grows, it becomes more likely that a pattern will be produced."
I have had a promising response from Butterick and Simplicity and now, McCalls so far, via the letters I received from them.
So please, please....if you can write a short letter and request it. <hugs> :) Here are the addresses:
Butterick Pattern Service
Attn: Nalina Mann
161 Avenue of the Americas
New York, NY 10013
McCall Pattern Company

Simplicity Pattern Co, Inc.
Consumer Information Department
901 Wayne Street
Niles, MI 49121
Vogue Pattern Service
161 Sixth Ave
New York, NY 10013
Good luck and I hope everyone writes. It sure would make finding a costume easier for the Gatherings, Halloween, etcetera, if this possibility were to come true. :) Also, pass this on to anyone else you think who might be interested in this who does not have access to the web, but loves the show. :)

To those who think I torture my characters far too much...how many ppl think that Graeme couldn't kick Luc's arse worth crap? *counts the hands.* Thanks, Mercedes and Stormy...no, I meant the real Luc, not EAU Luc... ;)
The little upstart, in Stormy's words...
Anyway, joyous news! FINALLY! Ambient Anarchists is going to come out NEXT WEEK...I don't care what it takes, but I'm now sticking strictly to my own PC working with WordPad and the only thing else running is the CD Player...Monster Magnet and Hawkwind, of course...and, let me tell you, NOTHING IS TURNING OUT WHAT I PLAN!!! IT'S GREAT!!! *wrings her hands in a Sevarius-esque manner.* As for joint writers go, Stormy and I are coming close to finishing our first major collaberative fic, the Frayed Ends Of Sanity, the only place where time is meaningless... *Wagner, Caligo, Gecko, Rommel, Mauser, Brook, and Whitless rush out in a chorus line, singing "Rose Tints My World," and exit stage left.* I didn't write that...
Also, I'm kinda excited and at the same time apprehensive on the new Garage, Inc. album coming out...METALLICA AND BOB SEGAR DON'T MIX!!! Metallica and Sabbath, definately. Metallica and Zeppelin, all right. Metallica and Segar, it's almost like the Carnigans' version of Iron Man...I'm still looking for "The Thing That Should Not Be" cover by Monster Magnet and the demo of "The Four Horsemen" with Dave Mustaine in place of Kirk Hammet...looks like I'm only going to buy bootlegs and EPs from now on, reminiscing on Cliff Burton...
The perfect band of dead musicians... Jimi Hendrix on guitar, Cliff Burton on bass, Eric Carr on drums, and Bob Calvert on vocals...
Back to Work! *PTOOFF!*

Heather> Best things is to let the story become. But if you're looking for inspiration I would recommend read Mike Resnick's 'Kirinayaga'. The best story I've ever read was 'For I have Touched the Sky', a part in the book. Story stuck with me for months. A good place to start is introducing the characters, who are they, what are their desires and fears. I find the questions are always a good start for a story.
Writers block> That advice applies to writers block as well. What question do you want answered in the story. With me what happens is I want to go one way and the story wants to go another. Sometimes it helps to take the blinders off. Instead of thinking where the story *should* go, take a look around and seeing where it *can* go. I had the most tremendous writers block writing 'David and Goliath' because I didn't want to kill Goliath. I was trying to avoid that inevitable conclusion. But when I let the story go where it would, I not only finished the story, but burned through a sequel in half the time. I'm a instinctual, fly by the tip-of-your-wings type writer, so it may not work for everyone, but I works for me.

For those who want to get to the fic archive, click on my name.
I'm going offline for the weekend.
Wilek> Re: the dragon virus - didn't Traveller say something about the original virus being cured when you found out what was up with the dragons/Dragon King? Think about the Phoenix Gate and some travelling you and a couple other people did before TGS Season 2 started and what you read <g>.
Rape> Been there. Not going there again. There's a reason that I'm a very good shot with handguns and why I believe firmly in the Second Amendment, 'cause nine times out of ten the cops aren't going to be there when it happens.
Heather> If you're looking for a plotline and the clan is going to stay in Africa, you might want to look at some of the problems/issues in Africa - starvation/famine, dictators and genocide, the endangered species issues/poaching. All of those are things that a clan might get itself involved in.
I mentioned below an offer to help draw some of the pics. The offer is still open.
BTW, has anyone seen/heard from Seri or Wavers in a while?
DA> Bummer, I just finished reading the eps last week and I would really like to find out what happens, since they ended the season on kind of a cliffhanger.
TD>Yeah!

STAR WARS> Looks awesome. As for "Titanic", well, you don't want to hear my opinion on that. I only went because of the people I was going with (a girl I liked at the time, her psychotic friend, and my best friend), not the movie. I have a theory on why it was so popular for such an average movie, but I won't get into that here.
KITAINIA> I never said you had to KILL the bastard, just hurt him. A LOT. See above....
THE PARTY> Sounds like it's getting interesting. It's times like this I wish I could be a useful member of the RP.

**Sevarius Jr., Traveller, and Fleur (along with Frankenstein's monster as lab assistant) are still in the lab on the Bird of Prey, working diligently on the Dragon Virus.
SJ looks at a vial of blood taken from those infected at the Falcon. "Man these little buggers are mean! Check this out, watch what happens when I infect a lab rat." He moves over to a cage, where two familiar looking mice, one with a large head and another, skinny mouse, are huddling in the corner of their cage. SJ injects the tainted blood into the skinny mouse, and places him back in his cage. The mouse abruptly begins to spasm....then starts to chant "Dragons dragons *narf* dragons dragons *narf* dragons....."
Suddenly, the mouse doubles in size, and rips open the cage with his bare hands, running out of the lab....
SJ stares in disbelief. "Um...they never did that before."***
Wilek: This proves what I've lot all along: you're really Heather. Don't try denying it! Oh, and the gold armor and the mini-fridge say hi. ;)
Ted Kennedy: I too shall enjoy watching Teddy bite it. He's just too annoying to be allowed to survive....
STAR WARS! I've been waiting for this for sooooooo long! I finally saw the trailers for it last night, and it looked sweet. Lots of new characters, lots of great effects, my would-be love interest Natalie Portman, that really cool lookin' new Dark Jedi....It's gonna be great. Bigger than Titanic.
Jackal: Good stuff so far, and darker stuff coming up? I'm there.
TRC: Um....I hate to tell you this, but.....um, you're pants are kinda ripped. Every time you bend over, there a full moon in the sky, you know what I mean? Please, you're scaring the children.....
**SJ is peering into a microscope at a sample of the Dragon virus (the really nasty version).
"This ain't good, boys and girls. This strain of the virus directly attacks chemical neurotransmitters in the brain. Seratonin levels drop, androstenedione hormones increase...."
"What's that mean?" Fleur asks.
"Apperently, this virus is not only lethal, but in advanced stages, the victim becomes incredible mentally unstable--prone to fits of rage and psychotic episodes. If the virus doesn't kill everyone, the infected will."
"We have to find a cure, NOW!" Wilek says.
"You're telling me," SJ replies. "I mean, I've got a party to go to, Demona might get nekkid, Thailog's already drunk, someone's spiked the punch...."

**The party is still going on. Jaden is off throwing up in the men's room, accompanied by Stephanie, who has gotten so drunk she does not even realize she's in the wrong place (my sis will hurt me if she reads this, <grin>). Tricia has joined the strip poker game, Shauna and Keith are sampling Shenzi's sandwiches, Gubio is surfing the Net on his laptop with Mist curled at his feet, and Jammer is busy flirting with whatever female is in range. Shap and Orion are walking around casting purify drink spells on the spiked punch (they don't want everyone getting too drunk!), Coyote's gang as well as Kyryn and Bandit are doing whatever they are, and Lathrop is watching the rodeo. Boris and Elena are busy gossiping with Kari and Mare, and Janice is in the corner, trying to write up her report to the President within all the partying and noise. Kitainia and Doug are dancing their special tango-mambo-polka-disco cross dance in the center of the dance floor, grooving to the music of Roxette. As the song ends, they stop. Doug walks off to get a drink while Kitainia turns to address the room.**
Robby: Before I forget, thanks so much for holding this party! It's definitely a great break from the action, and we're all having loads of fun. We're going to stick around till the bikers arrive at least, and then maybe head on to the circus. We may stick around though. I've heard a rumor some of the bad guys are planning to crash this thing. Drunk Thailog, stoned and strip poker-winning Demona, and grooving Sevarius Sr. don't look like they'll be any problem, but Asil has not shown up yet, nor has Guod. If they're the ones planning to crash, and the rumors say they are, plus they aren't on the guest list, we may have to stick around and help throw them out. Be assured if it happens, we will. <grin>
ColdTrio: I miss them very much myself, would like to see them again. Especially ColdSteel. I'd also like Thailog to return as a villain to TGS, if you guys aren't taking him for dead. (Greg clearly said he is not!)
Wilek, Fleur, Traveller, SJ: Good luck curing that dragon virus. If we can provide any help, please let us know. Orion is a good healer, Lathrop can probably encode magic into the cure to beef it up, and Gubio can help you do research if he gets some free time from modifying the Mech. My dad is also a very good doctor, if you need the knowledge of someone in the medical profession. He works in Houston Memorial Hospital's virus lab when he's not pulling duty in the ER, and if you tell him the full details of the crisis and that I sent you, I am sure he'd be glad to help. If you decide to use him, the guy's personality is similar to that of MASH's Colonel Henry Blake (Dad's idol) and he looks about the same. Just refer to him as Dr.T. :)
Heather: Nice names. As for the setting for your stories, it depends. Do you want to keep the clan in Africa or move it to the United States? If Africa, the forested slopes of a mountain such as Kilimanjaro or the Congo jungles would be good places to start out because any gargoyle clan needs a good place to hide in this day and age. They could be in the middle of a human city, too, but then you would need to figure out how they got in. For Clan Austin, they've been hiding on the slopes of Austin's Mount Bonnell and its forests for the past several generations. That was until the city got so big and the mountain was flooded with hikers and campers, so they had to move. For a while they were able to roost in Zilker Park, but several of them got the urge to start protecting people and began doing so. One of the people whose life they saved in the process was Larry Faulkner, the Prez of UT. He was very grateful and until recently was letting them sleep on the Tower's Observation Deck. Now that it's going to be reopened, the clan will once again have to find itself a new home. Perhaps the tunnels beneath UT will suffice, the clan still has plenty of human friends in town and they could also help. Hope this example of a clan history helps you.
Rape Punishments: Geez, these punishments are extreme. Oh well, speaking as someone who has almost been raped three times in her life (every guy who tried has ended up in ICU thanks to my kickboxing skills and two out of the three are already dead in this RP), I don't think what has been proposed is good enough. First the rapist should get their ass kicked by the person they harmed (if they did so), then caning, then life in jail which is IMHO a much worse punishment than death.
Robby again: You want fanfic characters in here? Okay. Doug, can you please conjure some up? **Kitainia motions to Doug, who opens a gateway to the twisted web that is his fanfic universe. He then calls forth Doc Perkins to help serve bar, Daniel Dobbs (who was the fence mentioned but never seen in "Getting Even With Dad" by the way) to start a game of pool, and the Sparks vigilante group to join in the festivities. Changeling, Agony, Laura, Sheppard, and Del Dawson come through to join in as well, along with Louie Sanchez to help serve drinks and Seth Figaro to help with bouncing out unruly guests. Doug tells the characters to leave as soon as he does, and not to have too much fun as they're going right back to his universe afterwards. They all nod and move off. Kitainia continues her post.** There, hope that suffices for your request.
Jackal: <breaks into song> I don't want to make you mad, I don't want to meet your dad, I don't want to be your dream come true. Cause I don't know just what I've found, I don't know my sky from ground, I don't know where I'm going to. I don't know, how 'bout you?....Sorry, your comment to TRC just made me unable to resist doing that. As I said before, nice job on the fanfic saga so far. Take it however far you will, it's your story. Just so all know, Doug finished the crucifixion scene in his latest story today. It's all inspiration, mourning, and reverence. You'll have to wait till the whole story's done to know the rest. :)
Mandi: Since you were so enthusiastic about it, Doug wants you to know he's already starting absorbing Buffy elements into his universe. Brooklyn, Agony, and a certain famous 15th-century Slayer are going to battle some vamps in the next fic, and the one after that will feature the first Slayer Watchers and the Hell Mouth. A pure crossover is coming as well, though it is of course a long way off. He's asleep now, or he'd be telling this himself. I will join him soon.
That's all for now, good night.
**Kitainia moves on to the caterer's cart, watching as Shenzi's brother wheels in another wagon full of sandwiches. "Straight from Mudville!" Jackal roars in glee. "To your palette. Kitainia mumbles an apology to whatever fans of the cheesy cartoon show "Doug" may be lurking nearby and begins to chow down. The screen then goes blank. To be continued next time!**

Countdown to TD??? 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, where's it at?!!! To hell with January!!! I'm sorry...., just a little eager..., that's all.
<<Nice character development on Chris in this one, it's good to know he isn't all bad. And what Angela does in that story I really enjoyed but must not speak of for fear of getting hit with mud.>>
He just has a really bad temper that's all...., Angela wasn't in her right mind.., things happen!
<<I'm glad I'm not the only one who's been bringing the Bible and Christian religious mythology/history into fanfic..., and I'm having the Crucifixon as one of the events Brooklyn visits..>>
Uhh..., I'm a complicated, sick, twisted individual, i'm gonna explain this the best way I can. I'm not christian, but i believe there's a God, Devil, demons and angels. And every story has it's good and evil..., where a character is one or the other..., I didn't want that, I wanted something a little more "me-ish". (A very fine line between the two sides that easily crossed at any given moment). He plays for no side, and I thought it would be cool to have the ultimate evil character send out his "goons" to say, "Play for our team, we'll give you whatever you want and we'll pay ya 23 million a year." But the ultimate good side is sayin, "When I see that you're ready, I'll offer you 36 million a year." So, you have this problem, you don't wanna be all bad, and you don't wanna be labeled a goodie-goodie. So what do you say? To "heck" with you both! I'm fine the way I am. Little do you know, their not done with you... What am I talking about?!!
I'm glad you mentioned the crucifixion..., just a future note so you'll know, I know this is gonna kick up some dust..., In my 7th story, "Divine Intervention" <--let me know if I need to change this name...., the crucified Jesus is mocked..., It's not me doin it (it's Mr. Hat!!), Seriously, it's not meant to offend anyone, I just wanna give you the feel of how dark things are gonna get. Darkest before the dawn kinda thing....
<<I thought Demona and Angela were gonna get freaky with Chris!>>
Actually, that's the way the story oringinaly went! I decided it was too extreme, and there would have been no point in it, so I took it out.
<<Part of your skull starts to break away...>>
I laughed about that for atleast 15 minutes!!!
The Rolling Calf- You're my friend, right?! I don't.... don't wanna make you mad....

**Ted Kennedy has blood alchohol of only .7 right now so he is still sober give his tolerance. He realizes he is about to be shredded and join his brothers until he remembers something in his lapel pocket. He takes out a bag full of white powder and bops Demona in the face with it. Th ebag bursts and the cocaine has an odd effect on Demona as she mistakenly inhales the stuff all over her face. Mayor Marion Berry comes out of the crowd with a straw attached to his nose as he tries to inhale whatever remains on Demona's face. In her new stage, a stoned Demona suggests a poker game with Ted Kennedy and a few other Seantors.**
Coyote> Who are the other Senators Demona is playing poker with?
Doug> Ted Kennedy is a sleazy villain and a fun punching bag, so I couldn't kill him yet. I will kill him in the future, isnce he is my least favorite Senator and I try to make fun of him once a day if not more.
As for my picks on favorites and least favorites, I'll e-mail mine, since a lot of other people here may not care for such a discussion. I do think it amuse you that there are rumors that Trent Lott is a closet homosexual. If its true, then his uncalled-for speech is merely displacing his own insecuroties:)
Sorow> Happy Birthday, and my cat wishes you one too.
Zath(sp)> The scouts leader Mary aka Ave Maria discovered that the Kennedys spiked the punch, when the punchbowl went ablaze, but thanks fo rwarning the others. I advise no girl drink anything in an area infested with Kennedys. When they committ daterape, they get acquitted.
Rape punishment> Actually I like all the punsihments, but I think we can be harsher. Locking them in a cell with a guy named Sweetpea is a good idea, and so is making them look at naked pictures of Janet Reno :)
**While Demona and the Senators are palying poker with a few others, Kay Bailey Hutchison is accosted by an eleven year old Kennedy who imitates his grandfather Ted by sticking hi shand up Mrs. Hutchison's dress. The Catholic schoolgirl scouts decide that it's time they stepped in to fight the greatest threat to womankind, male Kennedys :)**

**Screen fades in. The party is a blast! Free food and drinks, music, and strip poker. Kitainia walk over to get a drink and finds Jaden mixing and surving drinks, and looking not-so-sober.
"Jaden...how much have you had to drink?"
"Well let me think," he says with a dumb grin on his muzzle.
"Nine beers, some Captain Morgan, and this stuff that I have no idea what it's called."
"I believe that's floor-cleaner," rolling her eyes.
"Well that would explain the fresh pine smell...and the hallucinations I've been having for the past 20 minutes." Jaden gets a very odd look on his face and says; "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go throw up now." The screen fades black as Jaden runs from the room.**
(Remember, drink can be very dangerous)

*the TV turns itself on, to reveal Traveller, SJ and Fleur in the lab of the Bird of Prey, with Frankie as Lab assistant, working on the Dragon Virus. Well, actually, they're looking at a blood sample from one of the people on the Milenium Falcon. SJ: 'We're going to have to tell the others about this,' The others nod, and Fleur turns to make some comments*
Hi all! Don't worry about letting my RP character near your labs, SJ - she has a degree in microbiology. (something I hope to have in RL one day.)
Zath> rubber bands and sandpaper? Muwhahaha!! I love it!! (I have a burning internal hatred for rapists, for a very good reason.)
Kitania> opps again! Man, I've gotta stop doing this!
Heather> Kewl meanings.
T.J. Veil> When I'm writing, I usually start with certain scenes in my head, and then I can't find a way to link them all together. When that happens, I find writing the later scenes can inspire me. For full-blown, help-I've-fallen-and-I-can't-get-up writer's block, try forgetting about it for a while. You might have to wait days, or even weeks, but eventually, you'll find yourself back at the computer, or with pencil in hand, writing better than ever.
Dana> Hi! Step right in and make yourself at home. Us odd? Hmh, where would you get an idea like that? (Cybercookie to whoever figures out what movie I stole _that_ line from. Only one 'cos it's really easy. :))
*pouting miserably* Is the archive back up or not? I can't get through, and I'm suffering from severe fanfic withdrawl :)
Okay, back to the RP. Be warned - I feel an 'Outbreak' moment coming on. >:)
TTFN!
*SJ, Traveller and Fleur are standing in front of, well, everyone from the Millenium Falcon and Bird of Prey, and the other resuce mission people. Fleur holds up an enlarged photograph. It shows a bunch of microscopic, brightly coloured, exotic dragons.
'Okay, this is the Traveller's Dragon Virus. See the hooked claw on the end of each leg? They act a lot like creativity demons, only they use the hooks to latch onto an affected person's head, giving them dragons on the brain. An affected person will then either say 'dragons' during sentences, or chant the word repeatedly for several minutes'
"Dragons dragons dragons... AND THE DRAGON KING!"
"Thank-you Traveller."
SJ picks up a second picture. The dragons here look _very_ mean and breathe fire.
"These are from a sample somebody coughed up. They're the ones that have been doing all the damage."
"What are you saying?" Wilek asks.
"It looks like somebody has been using Traveller's virus as a cover for their own, deadly version. You guys probably got infected at Area 51." Fleur sighs, "We don't yet have a cure for this virus. If it gets out, every living thing on Earth will perish."*

(TRC is seen in his alternate form on board the Millenium Falcon with the rest of the team , some members are going over battle strategies , Raoul appears to taking perverse pleasure in mock face-hugging the very nervous team membrs . SJ is in the middle of a conversation with the droids , R2D2 extends his taser every time SJ tries to get at the specimen trays . And C3PO is as usual boring the life out of everyone . TRC is seen scrounging through an old bunker , apparently looking for some clothes that he believes might fit him , he eventually settles on a pair of pants until he can get back to his spare stash at his cache . He then finds a very dark corner and adds to the darkness by turning off all the lights in the surrounding area . He preses himself into th corner and assumes a fetal position , his form is slowly petrified . During the process of which he makes his post .
Wilek : I do'nt think that it will be necessary for all of us to go to SJ's lab at once . You should just drop him off with one or two other people and let him get back to work on the cure . I'll be disembarking as soon as I de-metamorphosize . But I'll meet you back up again either at the party or along with SJ .
Rapists : I say that rapists should be hung by the scrotum from a relatively thin cord which will eventually tear them off after prolonged dangling , for an extra dose of cruety , vibrate the rope . If they killed or beat the person in the process then this should be followed by extraction of intestines and hanging thereby . Or , you could beat it with a hammer and rub caustic soda into the torn flesh . And yes I have given this extensive thought . I often think up tortures for the fun of it . One of the best I've thought of is the removal of the tooth from around the nerves and crushing them with flint stones . Needless to mention none of the above would be performed with any form of anesthetic .
Dark Ages : This info has left me some what . . . . Upset would be a good word . *groan* a whole year without DA , such a thing never should be allowed to happen .
Star Wars : It does look like decent effevts for the show , but I for one am not too impressed at this point . I guess I'm not that much of a fan . Great , back among the minority . Remember folks we hat to be flamed because of opinions .
Sorow : Happ belated Birthday dear , I'd send you another one of my pets but I lost the other one when I was cleaning its cage , I hear about its activitie from time to time .
Heather : Nice job with the names that you've chosen . Sorry I never got around to helping you with them . But You've done OK for yourself .
The new story was pretty good , but another reason I took so long to post was because I wanted to wait until after I got over the urge to rap a chane around your neck for the size of that cliffhanger .
Dana : Imagine falling into a pit without a bottom , every day you fall further and further into the bowels of the darkness , each day the darkness claws at your mind , pulling at everything that makes you sane , falling , falling , falling . Welcome to Chaos . Going for a bit of Dramatic flare their . Welcome to the room and we're all glad to have you .
New attendants to the comment room - We get more members fairly often , around one every two weeks on average , but we occasionally lose a poster .
I got a site for those of you who feel the need to satiate your appetites for Dragons (I'M TALKING TO _YOU_ TRAVELLER ) it's at - www.geocities.com/Area51/Vault/7768/
It's called Draco's lair .
Robby : Are you talking about the Dragonheart instumental , Because I remember really liking that one .
(Dumlao : Is there any chance that you could have Illegal find that MP3 , it would be most appreciated)
I also find that the Armageddon instrumental does the job nicely as well .
OK folks its official , I am unable to maintain my former rate of posting at this point , so I want to make it known that I'll be posting every 2 days or so , and I hope to pick up steam again a little later on .
Night .
(TRC's petrified form starts to crumble and fall apart as TRC (in a gargoyle-esquefashion) bursts out of shell in his human form . Remembering that his clothes got destroyed in the cocoon stage of his tranformation , he immediately ducks to avoid the startled eyes of the people who witnessed his change he slipped on the pants , walked in to the center of the deck , opened one of his portals and stepped though .
Jake notices Terry rolling around on the floor clutching her sides and laughing he head off ."What's so funny??" , He asks . She replied " TRC had a huge rip in the seem of his pants ." Upon hearing this , the whole team starts to laugh at the idea .

Yes, I've been called Cat Lady before and yes I wear purple. You mean there's some other color??
Heather check your library for a book called Africa Adorned. It covers all of Africa with clothing and jewlery and lots and lots of pictures. If they don't have it let me know and I'll ask my costume list if there are any website with African clothing.

**The screen lights up to reveal Coyote standing near the bar, nursing a rum and Coke. Buick is being petted by Kyryn and Kari and enjoying every minute of it. Jason and the Gearhead have somehow found their way into a strip poker game with a couple of familiar-looking political figures and Demona ... and have already lost their shirts (literally).**
Hey, guys. It always takes me a while to get into the spirit of a party, y'know? I think one of these **holds the drink up** ought to get my inhibitions down enough to make me less of a wallflower. But for now, let's get some replies in.
TJ Veil: I think I already mentioned this in this CR, but certain movies get my imagination juices running again. Here's a short list of the flicks I tend to gravitate to when I'm in deep writer's block:
The Hunt for Red October
The Lion King
Any of my Gargoyles tapes
Major League
Toys
Spaceballs
Star Wars
Star Trek VI (none of the others, just this one for some reason)
Beauty and the Beast
Blazing Saddles
Men in Black
The Little Mermaid
All three Indiana Jones movies
Try some of these. At the very least, if your imagination isn't restarted, at least you'll have had a good time! ;)
Anyway, that method is good for me, especially since I've inflicted a deadline for each of my fics, because I thrive under pressure.
Deuce: Saw the sports page on my lunch break at work today. Oh well, better luck next time, dude!
Doug: I apologized because it seemed like the RP's after I caught the guy looked like you guys were waiting for me to do something with him. I'm not worried, then.
Robby: Really? I usually just leave the TV on just for the noise, but if I had my choice of music, it would be something that a few of the people in this room have expressed disdain for, so I will not mention his name.
But I should mention this: I found one of his songs that would work good as a love theme for TimeDancer, especially since there's one line in it that goes, "We were born out of time and alone." The title of the song is "Lost Boys and Golden Girls," and it's the last track off of one of his albums.
Heather: Are you looking for modern or traditional wardrobe? If it's traditional you're going for, you can try any illustrated book of African mythology (I have one that has *excellent* illustrations in it) or older ('50s and '60s) National Geographics, or alternatively an encyclopedia.
Web space ... the best experiences that I've had as far as obtaining space goes have been with Geocities (http://www.geocities.com/) and Angelfire (http://www.angelfire.com/). There are also some servers that I've heard it's best to avoid: Fortune City has a tendency to crash, and Simplenet is just weird (let's put it this way: one of the most popular Xena sites on the Web *was* at Simplenet, until the server admin evicted it because it had *too many hits.*).
Zath: Are you sure you want to do that? It might turn into a free-for-all. Okay, whatever.
**A brilliant flash appears next to Coyote, almost making him drop his drink. Happily, he recognizes the two female figures emerging from the flash as Rosanna and Lina. He hugs them warmly, then they move off to enter the party.**
There.
Wilek: We won't hold it against you.
***RP!!***
**narrows eyes** Oh boy, it looks like Jason and the Gearhead are about to lose their pants, too. I'd better get over there.
**Coyote approaches the poker table, then appears relieved to see that Jason and the Gearhead aren't the only ones losing items of clothing; the three senators are down to their boxers, but it appears that Demona has been winning every hand.**
Mind if we sit in?
<"Uh ... are we sure we want to see *him* naked?">
HEY!
<"Sorry, boss." "By all means, Bando, come enter the game.">
Thanks, Demona. But I don't enter a poker game solo.
**Coyote sits down at the table, pulling out a chair to allow Rosanna in as well. Demona starts dealing the cards as the screen winks off.**

Heather> A website? Well, I already have an author listing at the Avalon Archive, as will you if you submit a story there. What I plan to do is whip up a bit of a web page and mail it to the Archive submissions administrators and ask them nicely if they'll put all those files in my ftp directory and change my name link to lead to my page. Of course, they wouldn't do anything very off topic, so the only thing a page can contain is your stories and any art you might commission to accompany those stories.

**At Jim's party, Thailog is starting to realize how tipsy he's getting and refuses to drink any more beer. Zath sighs sadly, says "I guess we can't fool you," and hands him a glass of punch.
"No, you can't," rumbles the evil clone. He chugs the punch, decides he likes it, and goes back for another glass. One of the Catholic Schoolgirl Scouts tries to get a glass, but Zath stops her. When she starts to protest, Zath pulls her close and whispers "You wouldn't like it. It's been spiked so many times it's probably about 180 proof." The scout's eyes go wide and she leaves to look for less sinful punch while Zath turns to post some comments.**
Spike> Do you think some of your fic characters could join the party? T Horror had to slip out when he saw that both his "brother" and Demona were attending, so that poor bartender is being overworked to the point of a nervous breakdown. Maybe everyone could add a fic character or two of their own and turn this RP into the biggest crossover outside of WCC.
SOROW> Happy Birthday! Like SJ, my gift to you is a certificate good for one free (meaning Kitty won't bite you when she's finished) mauling of the person of your choice. Sorry, but I'm out of alien tissue samples. Would you like a vial of the small pox virus instead?
Heather> I hope your wrist gets better soon. I've sprained my wrist several times, so I know what it's like to lose the use of a hand for a while. I'll give you a word of advice; no matter how many people tell you to, don't smell the inside of your cast once it comes off. : P
Dana> RUN, RUN WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!! Just kidding. Welcome, but be careful, this place tends to grow on you (kind of like mildew).
Bad TGS joke> Does ending on the 4th of July mean the season will go out with a bang?
Rape punishment> Rusty knives? Come on people, we can be more creative than that! I say we use rubber bands and sandpaper.
Dragon virus> I haven't had any internal bleeding yet, but my strain seems to be mutating extremely fast in other directions. *starts thinking about dragon filks done to the tune of Gilbert & Sullivan songs* "Oh, I am the Dragon King! It is, it is a glorious thing to be the Dragon King..."
**Zath sees free sandwiches being passed out and takes one from the cart. After a moment of thoughtful chewing, Zath confronts Shenzi. A heated (but whispered so no one else can hear any actual words) discussion ensues, punctuated by much gesticulating (mostly stabing and slicing motions with an occasional motion that looks something like pancake-flipping). As the scene fades out, Zath and Shenzi shake hands, recipes are exchanged, and everyone is happy.**

(Kari Kanbea Pest looks around for her brother, Jim Iza Noying. "Where is he? This is HIS party..." And then, there is a sound from above... "OODELALY OODELALY GOLLY WHAT A DAY!" and she sees Jim parachuting from some sort of vehicle. Minutes later, the vehicle lands and the saner passengers get off without a hundred foot drop...)
I've discovered that the "Dragonheart" soundtrack makes REALLY good music to play in the background for a garg story...
Fleur- Nasty smoking computer problems...
Dana- HELLO! WELCOME! (Do new people ALWAYS come in every week, or is that just since I started coming here?)
Coyote- Oh my, Warrior Nun has spread out of San Antonio? I guess thats good news for Antarctic Press... (Antarctic Press being a small San Antonio comic publishing company.)
T.J. Veil- Usually when I suffer from writer's block, I start reading some of my favorite stories, and start to draw upon what I like from them. It also helps me to give a story in progress to a friend that will actually take the time to be enthusiastic. Someone else's enthusiasm usually helps...
Deuce- War Planets doesn't come on here until Saturday, but it is a very good show, of which I have all the episodes so far on tape... I'll be looking forward to that joke... Beastwars has gotten very good this year too...
And it's JIM getting Thailog drunk, not me. I wasn't even invited to the party. Go figure.
Mandi- Star Wars 1 is going to be a huge event. If it were possible, I would already have my ticket. Same goes for Star Trek: Insurrection...
Spike- Teasers... Mean... But not too teasing...
Heather- Very cool names.
Wilek- Actually, besides Simba meaning "Lion", Pumbaa means "Dusty", and depending on the language, Zazu can mean either "Friend" or "Beer".
(Jim looks at Thailog, who is overly drunk now, and somewhat unconsious. "Aw poop, I wanted to mess with his head. Wait a minute, he'll have to wake up later... He'll have a hangover... Heh heh heh..." AT that moment, a large figure passes by overhead, calls out, "Arg! I've been shot!" in a very Sean Connery like voice, and dives into a nearbye lake. Jim calls out, "What took you so long?" Draco smiles, and mutters, "I was sidetracked. Did someone mention a dragon virus?")

**The party at Jim Iza Noying's mansion is in full swing. A news report comes on the TV, something about a prize pig being stolen from some guy named (insert name of farmer who owns Babe) farm in addition to a duck and three mice, as well as a toddler and several babies being kidnapped from (insert name of Rug Rats town). As the report ends, Shenzi the caterer wheels her cart into the mansion's comment room and begins to hand sandwiches out. Outside the mansion, Jammer has just finished parking the Ravens' truck, and Doug hopes out the side trailer door, turning to make a post before he heads on in.**
Apologies to any fans of Babe or Rug Rats, but I had to make the above references. <grin> And we all knew that at a party as big as MrNoying's, Shenzi would somehow show up.
Dana: I wish I knew when the author's forms were coming back. You aren't the only one who has fanfic to post. I would like to read your fanfic, I have a long bus ride (going home for Thanksgiving) coming up next week and if your stories are as long as they sound, they'd be just the thing to get me through. Mind please sending them to the above e-mail address? I will give you lots of feedback in return for it. Oh, and welcome to the CR.
Coyote: You don't have to be sorry, we were pretty much writing the story even without your help. But thanks for contributing just the same. Wonder what Guod's plans for Preston in the future are, and when we'll see that third villain you've mentioned before. :)
TJ Veil: One thing I always do when I suffer writers' block (it's rare for me, but it does happen) is go down to Einstein's Arcade and play some of the games there. Not only does it allow me to vent my frustration, but I often get inspirations from some of the games I play. Examples include that most of the named Commandos in my work came from Virtua Cop 2, and Gunblade helped me write the big gang war battle scene in the end part of "Final Hunt." That may work for you, too, I don't know. But it's just a suggestion. Another good way to restore inspiration is to listen to a lot of good music (Duran Duran, U2, Beethoven, Mozart, Sarah MacLachlan, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Depeche Mode, Alannis, Sting, and Metallica are the groups I mainly listen to when I've hit a block). Hope these suggestions help.
Theresa: I think Kitainia and I saw you on Simpsons tonight. [Lisa Simpson- "They call her the cat lady, people think she is crazy just because she owns several dozen cats." Suddenly an old lady in purple comes out of the house behind her, roaring as she flings yowling cats at Lisa, who flees.] Was that you, or someone you know? <evil grin>
DumlaoX: Thanks for posting that info on the first Star Wars prequel. That is one movie I'm definitely going to see next year. This weekend, the movie I'll see (and of course review in here) will be "Enemy of the State," starring Will Smith and Gene Hackman. It should be fun.
Heather: Thanks for telling us the meanings of those nice names. Please let us know of what help you need and it I at least will try to provide.
Lawrence: I too would like to see the ColdTrio return, and ColdSteel as a villain. Hope it happens soon.
Wilek: Hope you guys can develop a cure fast. Curing the whole planet of this disease is beyond Orion's power, even if he were to join in communal spellcasting with every other cleric on the Earth. That's one bad thing that happens when populations explode. :) Thanks for your suggestion about cut and paste. See you at the party, good luck.
Creativity Demon: Since this new season's ending on the Fourth of July, somebody had to think this one up!
[All the gargs and humans of New York are sitting around enjoying the fireworks on July Fourth when suddenly the demonic faces and streamers of light Madoc used to make his castle appear in the sky. "That's not part of the program!" someone in the crowd shouts. Then Madoc's voice bellows out of the sky, "Meet your new rulers, mortals! The Unseelie Court!!" Soon after that, the battle begins.]
Comments on that, anyone? Muhaha. <grin>
That's all for now. Bye.
**The other Ravens, Jaden, Coyote, and his three friends get off the truck and head inside the mansion. Janice Ripowski follows after, making notations on her clipboard about wasting time at a huge party while there is work to be done. The screen fades out. To be continued next time!**

[Wilek, Miriam, Jake, Teri, Anoth, Forfexx, Raoul, the remaining Doom Commandos, TRC, the bikers, the Dark Troopers, SJ, Frankie, and Dark Mage Wilek are in the Falcon, having been healed by Orion. As soon as Orion leaves, Robby arrives with the snogarD virus and Fleur's Bird Of Prey arrives with her team. Wilek: "Robby, don't administer the countervirus, we're OK. Besides, it's lethal to anyone who isn't infected with the Dragon Virus, so it's not an effective vaccine. By the way, I have bad news, everyone. SJ has discovered that the Dragon Virus will destabilize in accordance with the Malcom interpretation of chaos theory and mutate into an airborne and 100% terminal form, killing everything on the planet Earth in a matter of weeks, unless a cure--a permanent cure--is found and administered. We have the equipment on the Dark Star to distribute the cure, but we don't have the cure. SJ?" SJ looks up from where he appears to be chatting with a gold suit of armor and a mini-fridge. "If we get back to my lab, I think I can do something. But Traveler has to cooperate, since he created the thing and knows everything about it." W: "Of course. Traveler, this should teach you a lesson about f***ing around with magically altered viri. See what you may have caused?"]
Kitainia and Orion> THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You know, what I do to avoid forgetting RP characters is to copy and paste the whole list of them into every entry, with any apprporiate modifications as characters enter or leave the RP. BTW, we're going up to the Dark Star after this post; we'll drop the bikers off at Robby's on the way.
Welcome, Dana! Part of your skull starts to break away...sorry, just borrowing a line from a song. Why? To express the fact that, just as soon as you make your first post in here, your sanity flutters away like a lonely sparrow. I'm quite mad, and I rather like it!!! :)
T.J. Veil> Whenever I get writer's block, I just forget the story for a while and simply go on with life. In a matter of days, or weeks at the most, I get a flash of inspiration. That's why I can't keep a deadline. ^_^
SOROW> Happy birthday! Oh, fabulous cake!
Heather> I'm impressed that you are so knowledgable about the meanings of names; I'm so ignorant about languages that I never even knew what "Simba" meant until I actually read it somewhere. Hey, you have a fanfic written? Too kewl. Is it in the GFW archive or the Avalon Archive Library? (I have my fic in the latter; their site is so much more stable.)
Lawrence> A few weeks ago, Dumlao left us a coy message about the Coldtrio; something to the effect of patience having many rewards.
Speaking of the torments that the TGS staff seems to so enjoy inflicting upon us poor pitiful readers, when's the Timedancer season two coundown start? I actually miss the heavenly agony of the little "X days till the Rising" messages that Todd would leave for us like twisted little gifts.
[Wilek: "Alright everyone, we're going to get the bikers to Robby's house, then go back to what's left of West Gate Mall to let SJ get his TIE Scimitar back (it's been there ever since we blew up the place), then go to SJ's lab so he and Traveler can whip up a cure, then up to the Dark Star to administer it and tie up some loose ends with the New Republic, then FINALLY get to the party. Robby, I hope you can keep Thailog and co. nice and liquored up for quite a while." To be continued...]

I was just wondring what ever become of Coldstone, Coldfire , and Coldsteel because it never said what happend to them. The last time we saw them was in Possession and in the end of that episode Coldstone, and Coldfire said they will rejion the clan, but after they find and stop Coldsteel. I would like to see them return in Gargoyles or maybe even the Pendragon series. Would any of you like to see Coldstone, Coldfire, and Coldsteel return.

Frankenstein listens quietly for a moment, then says, <I...I think it's coming from that storage compartment over there.>
SJ and Frank cautiously approach the compartment, and as they do so, the tapping grows louder in volume. Frank takes position in front of the door to the compartment, holding his flamethrower ready. He nods to SJ, who grips the door handle and, with a quick jerk, opens the door.
Both Frank and SJ gasp at what they find inside. "I...I DON'T believe it!" SJ says in shock.
Huddling inside the small storage compartment were two familiar droids, one short and squaty, and the other thin and golden......

If you haven't done so already, go to DumlaoX's name link and check out the movie trailer for Star Wars: The Phantom Menace! I was lucky enough to see it on TV, and it looks awesome!

American Independence Day is early July… so that means not only is there tonnes of G/P to look forward too, but also if DA returns in Sept, then TD will carry TGS through almost continuously through the summer… neat! :)
Well, good luck with getting DARK AGES back up ASAP, and good luck also with TD in as little as 6 weeks! Hooray!

**The screen lights up to reveal Coyote and his party (including Buick somehow) engaged in a euchre game. Preston's still tied up against the far wall, but he's asleep (or unconscious, one or the other).**
Hey guys. Preston's been very tight-lipped about the circus' activites and current whereabouts. I guess having a hand-cannon pointed at your chest will make you say anything.
<"I still say Guod's doing something to him.">
Like what?
<"Ever heard of 'ghost-hacking?' Maybe he's running a virus through the kid's brain, boss.">
That's ridiculous. Preston's a jerk, but he's not a cyborg.
<"Whatever, I still say that's the problem.">
Okay then. Anyway, as long as there's a lull in the action, let's make some replies.
Doug, Kitainia, et al re RP: Sorry it took me so long to come up with something. RL interfering, y'know?
Deuce: I like the CD, there. BTW, couldn't get my local sports, how did the game go?
Jaden: Occasionally stuff like that happens to me when I try reading stories online, but rather than putting that annoying message in the middle, it just cuts out a paragraph or 11.
Coldstone, Spike: Looking forward to it.
SOROW: Kewl cake!
Wilek: I know who you're talking about ... that's the "Warrior Nun Areala" action figure. There's comics out about her, but they're a little on the dull side.
Heather: Yes, I too want to know what those names mean!
Dana: Welcome. We are the lunatics-in-residence here. Feel free to join in on the insanity anytime!
***RP!!***
<"Hey, I think he's moving.">
**The group stands up, approaching Preston. When Preston opens his eyes, however, they're glazed over.**
What the hell ...?
<"I told you, ghost-hacked! He won't tell you anything now!">
Any ideas? Anyone?
<"Let me try.">
**Jason cracks his knuckles, pulling his fist back.**
WHACK!! <"... outside San Antonio ..."> WHACK!! <"... mind-control experiments ..."> WHACK!! <"... take over the country ..."> WHACK!! <" ... Lord High Ruler ...">
**Jason's interrogation technique is rudely interrupted by Preston disappearing before them, as Guod pulls him back.**
CURSE YOU, GUOD!!
**composes self**
Well, it wasn't much, but we can get some use out of it, I think. Did you get it down?
**The party crowds around the Gearhead, in deep discussion, as the screen winks off.**

Hi everybody! (think of Dr. Nick from "Simpsons")
Despite the fact that I have been lurking around the garg web pages for nearly a year, this is the first time I've made a post. (Probably due to the fact that I can't believe there are people out there as crazy as I am for being so devoted to a cartoon show, for goodness sakes! But hey, we're all a bit crazy...)
Anyway, i was wondering if anybody has any idea when the author forms are going to be back up? After debating for a long time about whether or not I should post my fanfic, I finally decided and went to post it. But to my disappointment the archive had gone belly-up. (Not only did I go through fanfic withdrawl, I have this impatient urge to know what kinds of responses I would get to my loooooooong fanfic.)
Before I _really_ start babbling, I'll leave you all in garg heaven!!
Thank you:)

**The screen comes on with the interior of Wilek's Falcon. A shimmering gateway opens in the wall and a tall brown-bearded and bald cleric dressed in white jeans, a blue U2 T-shirt, and a gold leather jacket steps out. Orion pushes up his dark glasses and shakes his head as he looks at all the pain Wilek and co. are in. "No," he says, drawing from his belt a small black rod topped with a red crystal. "This will not do." He then begins to chant prayers while waving the rod about, and in the process casts cure greater disease spells on everyone who is suffering from the dragons virus. They work once again, and everyone stops gasping in pain. Orion then takes out another rod, this one topped with a gold amber crystal, and casts spells of healing on all the wounds already suffered. "Thanks!" Wilek tells him as he sighs in reverence. "All in a day's work for a man of God," Orion chuckles. "No need to thank me. Cruel viruses and wounds are nothing next to the almighty power of the Lord." Orion salutes Wilek and Cobra the biker, gives the latter a note from Kitainia, and then leaves via the gateway through which he came.**
**The screen shifts to the Onslaught, which is still stuck in traffic. Inside the trailer, Kitainia is engaged in a game of chess with Jaden, and winning. She turns to make a post as he tries to figure out his next move.**
Jaden: REALLY sorry we forgot about you. That sometimes happens when you travel in a large group, unfortuantely. Let it be known that it will never happen again. You have my word on it.
DumlaoX: No Dark Ages till September? Sigh, we will be missing out on so many good stories. Oh well, we'll get more from the other three series, so there won't be a problem. Looking forward to the new countdown for when Timedancer begins again.
Jackal: I too enjoyed the second part of your story. Looks like you're shaping up into another good fanfic writer, even if you are slightly disturbed. But I like that, <smile>
Happy Birthday to SOROW.
Wilek: Orion has been sent to help you, his skills should suffice. He also has a message for the bikers. They are invited to the party at Robby's, and after that we would like for them to come to the circus with us. We'll need their help most there, and since you're out of Area 51, they now have instructions to leave you. I've already had Lathrop teleport their bikes on board the Onslaught, at the party we'll pick up the people themselves. See you all at Robby's in a few postings.
Xena: Doug (we live together) wants you to know if you want any of his fanfic to peruse (many people find it quite good and intriguing), please e-mail him at frostfire@mail.utexas.edu and he'll be happy to send some to you. I know we are all hoping the GFW archive gets back up soon, and praying for it.
Fleur: Hate to correct you again, but it's Shallow Mouth, not Shadow. His name is a rip-off of Deep Throat since that's what kind of character he was originally.
Robby: Thanks for telling us where your party is taking place. Now we should have less trouble finding it. Good rules for limiting the bad guys.
That's all for now, see y'all tomorrow!!
**Orion arrives back in the trailer and he and Kitainia talk for a moment. Then the image begins to flicker. As the screen fades out, the Onslaught truck finally manages to escape the traffic and pull onto the Fiesta Texas exit ramp. Jammer drives down it and starts looking for Robby's house, following the noise of the partying. To be continued...**

*The TV set, which has been flickering for days, finally turns on. Fleur, Traveller, Shadow Mouth, CC and Clan Austin are in the Klingon Bird of Prey. Bluebonnet, who is manning the communcations station, looks up. "We have a message from the 'Milenium Falcon'?" Fleur frowns, then shrugs "Put it through."
They listen to Wilek's message, then turn to Traveller, whose face mask looks _very_ worried. "It's not meant to do that! The virus is suppose to be annoying, not deadly!"
"How long will it take us to get there?" Fleur asks Guad, who shrugs. "A couple of hours at Warp 9."
"Good. Plot a course." Fleur turns to Traveller. "I hope you have a cure for this monstrosity."*
Finally! Last time I posted from an internet cafe, not knowing that about twenty four hours before, some idiot at the uni had somehow accidently started a fire in one of the computer labs. Fortunately, (or unfortunately) the sprinklers kicked in as soon as the smoke detectors went off. Result: one computer was fire damaged, but more than half a dozen short-circuited, so we had to shut that lab down. Ever had to face down a sleep-deprived, caffiene-high university student who has just endured exams and is facing the prospect of being unable to re-enrol without net access? *shudders at the memory* THIS WAS NOT IN THE JOB DESCRIPTION!!!! *sighs* Oh well, at last they've fixed everything up and re-opened the lab, and my life can return to normal (or as close to it as it usually gets. :))
Doug> Gubio not Guido-opps! When I was writing the last part of my post I literally had four minutes left. I've never typed so fast in my entire life :). No sooner had I posted it, I got a message: Get off the computer NOW, you haven't paid for this! (not in those exact words, but close enough.)
Heather> Owch! Get well soon. Cool clan names, I'd also like to know their meaning.
Deuce> I would _really_ like to meet the **** who raped your cousin. *Unsheaths blade, then reconsiders and decides on a rusty bread knife instead* I'd like to 'discuss' something with him. What a shocking thing to do.
Mandi> Thank god. I thought I was the only one whose Creativity Demons had escaped my head and started running amok! Great story, I was ROTFL reading some parts.
HAPPY (really late) BIRTHDAY SJ!
HAPPY (slightly late) BIRTHDAY SOROW! Enjoy your car - driving is soooo much fun! Whoo-hoo!
Welcome to the CR Xena! Oh, and if the CR lawyer starts annoying you, feel free to kill him. We all have at one time or another >:)
Midterm people> Good luck. Do me a favour though - if somehow your computer labs are shut down, Puh-lease don't start plotting the death of the people working there. We don't get paid enough. :)
Robby> keep the party going until we get there. We might be a while.
TTFN!

(The party is going well, Jim has managed to get Thailo to chug six beers so far. The clone is nearly drunk. Jim scans the area, looking for Wilek, who was supposed to be there by now. Then, he picks up the distress signal.)
Doug- Well, my house is LITTERALLY right behind Fiest Texas, so I guess Jim's mansion is somewhere nearbye... The villains won't double cross me for 2 reasons. 1)They'd lose the privledge of going to Jim's next party, something no one would want to be denied... and 2)There's a bunch of heroes here too. And baddie action would be quickly dealt with...
SOROW- Spiffy cake...
Xena- The TGS is probably the best garg. fanfic there is, most likely due to the fact it has a whole team working for it. (A team I hope to be a part of in season 3.) And give Pendragon a chance. I agree, I prefer Manhattan clan any day, but PD grows on ya...
Wilek- I'm a coming, and hoping I'm that "Miricle" you're waiting for... If not, well, I'll be there to help by next post anyhow...
("This is bad." Jim notes. He calls to the party guests, "Everybody, keep on partying! I have some buisness to take care of!" Jim grabs a pair of hyper sonic sneakers, and begins clocking speeds of 150 MPH... He grabs a vial of the snogarD virus, and races to help Wilek...)

[For reasons that will become clear, Wilek, Miriam, Jake, Teri, Anoth, Forfexx, Raoul, the remaining Doom Commandos, TRC, the bikers, the Dark Troopers, SJ, Frankie, and Dark Mage Wilek have landed the Milennium Falcon in the middle of nowhere; the Dark Star TIE fighters are guarding it. The scene switches to the inside of the Falcon. Everyone looks very weak and ill, and throughout this post, the team members are trembling and coughing up blood. Jake and Teri are in a sad embrace, Miriam is lying unconscious on a couch, Raoul is on another couch twitching and whining in agony, and Anoth is praying in Latin. Wilek is speaking into the radio: "This is the Area 51 raid team to whoever can hear us...Traveler's Dragon Virus has had unexpected side effects...namely massive internal bleeding and gradual autonomic shutdown...if a cure isn't found and administered in approximately 72 hours, we'll all be dead...Please...help us...someone..." Wilek sets that recording to automatically repeat and addresses the CR. "Guys...this may be my last post here...if we ever needed a Miracle, it's now..." Throughout the post, Wilek is periodically interrupted by fits of coughing or shivering. He's obviously dying.]
Hey, I just had a weird random thought: Wouldn't the cat dude from Small Soldiers make a kewl mutate?
GB> You'd like this action figure I found online. She's called "Holy White" and she's a WARRIOR NUN.
Mandi> Insane? If I lived in the environment depicted in that fanfic, I'd be stark raving out of my head. The fact that you're lucid enough not to try and eat your monitor is nothing short of a Miracle. (Yes I capitolized it for a reason.) Hm, passing out? Hope it's nothing serious. Hope it's not *this*. <coughs up blood again>
Women suing hospitals for labor pain, and men suing women for having their babies? Such people having kids at all is like getting a chihuahua high on LSD and putting it at the controls of a Death Star just to see what happens.
Xena> Ah, welcome. You will never escape! ^_^ j/k Hey, are you aware that Dahak is in Coyote's WCC? Not the same Dahak you're familiar with, though...
Robby> If we had a choice in the matter, we'd be at that party...
Hm, Dark Ages won't start for a long time. I don't mind, I never read it anyhow. :) It's just a good thing that Timedancer season two is much closer, otherwise I'd be ticked. Not that I'm strong enough to do anything anymore...
GB> What are torts? Oh, and I agree about rape. Forfexx has a lot of good ideas on that subject. If there is one law I don't like, it's the one about cruel and unusual punishment. The severity should fit the crime, of course, but the death penalty should be more, heh heh heh, *creative* than it is. (Eep, I think I'm channeling Forfexx. Out out!)
Fanfic> Quite honestly, Coyote's work and TGS are the only fics that I follow with any regularity, although there are a lot of others that I really liked as well.
Ravyn> You know, considering my plans for you in my fic series, the fact that you were the first one to answer Deuce's lightning question is a very eerie coincidence...although I may not survive to implement those plans...
[Wilek speaks into the radio again: "I reiterate that we have three days to live if a cure is not found and administered. We have reason to believe that another virus, the snogarD Virus, may be a cure, but we don't know how we--" Wilek is interrupted by one last fit of coughing up blood, and then passes out.]

Thanks to everyone for the love and support since I stumbled upon this sanctuary. I had a great b-day and do I have a story for you! My parents actually bought me a Gargoyles cake! Even though the stores don't carry the pattern any more, she ordered a city skyline and found a little Goliath statue. Even though he's not my favorite, it's hard to find any of the other characters. Now my tongue is stained blue from the icing. Thanks again to everyone for the love and yeah, Timedancer comes out in January:)

**The screen comes on. The Onslaught is on one of San Antonio's highways and appears to be stuck in traffic. Jammer is blaring on the horn, as he slowly inches his way to the exit for MrNoying's house. In the trailer, the Ravens, Jaden, and Coyote's gang are engaged in many pursuits. Including chess, checkers, reading, talking, and generally hanging about waiting until they arrive at the party. Doug looks up from his side of the chessboard where Kitainia is thinking of her next move and makes a post.**
Robby: Where exactly in San Antonio is your mansion located? Anywhere near the AlamoDome, Fiesta Texas, or the River Walk? Just want to know so we can plot events during and after this party for the saga of RP.
Jackal: Nice job on Part 2. I'm glad I'm not the only one who's been bringing the Bible and Christian religious mythology/history into fanfic. (Cain is a major immortal character in my story universe, and I'm having the Crucifixon as one of the events Brooklyn visits in my first Timedancer story. I've already featured Adam, Abel, Lillith, Eve, and Noah.) Nice character development on Chris in this one, it's good to know he isn't all bad. And what Angela does in that story I really enjoyed but must not speak of for fear of getting hit with mud. Suffice to say, Firestorm and all people who see Angela like he does would be VERY interested to see her in your work. <evil grin>
Robby again: We're not very up on Xena, we didn't know Callisto was dead. Thank you for telling us.
Starsinger: My middle name is not Sue, and I know a lot of other people whose middle name isn't either. But I know you were speaking figuratively and in jest. :)
Kyryn: Thanks for telling us about Thailog coming on screen like that. Guess the leak in his organization Wilek mentioned earlier is transmitting their meetings to us. A spy in our group is certainly worrisome, but right now I have no idea who it could be. Everyone is so loyal. Even Janice, if she does disagree with our methods a lot of the time. Hmm, they're planning to do hypnotism at the upcoming circus, eh? Okay, I think we know how to handle this. :)
Noticed something about the picture of Maddox. It links to a shot of his human form now, instead of his fay one. Will we still be able to use the Madoc pic to accompany our posts? If so, it needs to be put back in the image list.
Green Baron: Hope Demona REALLY hurts Ted Kennedy. He is one of my four least favorite Senators, number four to be exact. Number three is Thurmond, two is Trent Lott (who seemed like a nice okay guy at first, but then had to turn around and sell out politically to the Fundamentalist Extreme), one is Alphonse D'amato (wait, he's not a Senator any more, I better find someone else).
Jaden: Argh, I knew we forgot about someone!! Yes, I did forget you were with us. Sorry about that. Won't happen again, I promise. Since you had to be away from the Internet a few days and couldn't really do anything, it did work out nicely. Oh well, you're back with us now, and we will have fun. Don't worry. We will not forget you again.
Traveler: Gubio, Lathrop, and Keith want to know if they can modify the Mech you gave us some. They want to add iron alloys to its laser Gatling guns, put in a remote control ability, and some other stuff. Is it safe to try doing that?
DumlaoX: Sigh. I'll miss Dark Ages, but at least we'll still be getting the other three series and should still have many stories to enjoy. Thanks for letting us know. We'll look forward to all the stories whenever they come out, no matter how long it takes them. Keep up the good work, you and all the TGS Staff.
Happy B-Day to SOROW!! Hope that on this day you do not get the emotion that is your name. :)
Robby one more time: Good luck getting Thailog drunk, I know it should be very difficult to decieve him. And be careful, just because bad guys aren't allowed to start trouble at one of your parties doesn't mean they won't. One can never know what a villain has up their sleeve, or what trouble they are thinking of causing. <insert maniacal laughter>
Okay, that's all for now. Later.
**Doug looks down at the chessboard to see that he has just been put in checkmate. He groans as Kitainia smiles evilly and chuckles at him. Then he smiles and sweeps her into a kiss, glad he has found a true intellectual equal as well as the perfect mate and companion, someone to complete him (references from Jerry Maguire and Upgrade). The Onsluaght crawls on through San Antonio's freeway traffic as the screen fades out.**

(Jim's party is going along well, though only about 100 guests out of the thousand have arrived so far, and thats including the badguys. Jim hears Demona let out that cat like roar of hers, and goes to investigate. Upon seeing her throw some humans about, a frown comes upon Jim's face. "Demona... Even the badguys are supposed to play nice at one of MY parties." "But that human..." Demona starts with crimson eyes burning. Jim turns and sees who she's referring to, and nods. "Okay, you can hurt him. I'm kinda busy at the moment, the rodeo portion of the party is about to begin!")
And why is it the day AFTER 100K is added to the comment room, there's only like 10K in new posts? Wierd...
About Timedancer- Cool. January huh? Would that be the first week of January, or just January? Its as much as a three week difference... I'll handle the countdown when you clarify a bit... (Looks again, a gasps.)
And its going o go even after Independance Day? Even cooler. Suppose the only downside is it'll be a while before I can apply for a staff position for season 3...
Jaden- Come down to the party, its nuetral grounds, even the baddie chasing you isn't allowed to do anything too evil while at one of Jim's parties...
Ah well, its off to read more fics. 143 down, (Counting the ones in the TGS) who knows how many to go...
(As he begins to leave, he notices Thailog standing by the drinks. "So Thailog, how many beers have you had?" "None at all. I'm only three years old." A wicked smile comes over Jim. "But Thailog, in clone terms, your well past the legal drinking age..." A plan begins scheming as Jim leads Thailog to the rodeo...)

SOROW-- Happy b-day!
JADEN-- That error only happens when you get interupted downloading an HTML document and have it start right where it left off. It tends to do that. Not the website fault but that of the browser. Simply reload it and the problem goes away.
BEARER OF BAD NEWS-- I hate to be the one that does this but someone has to say this. And if anyone is gonna do it, it might as well be me.
There's good news and there's bad news.
Good news is that if the staff stays on schedule, we will release TimeDancer in January 1999. No exact date is set for the release but it will show on Tuesdays when the release happens. So if you wanted to start a TimeDancer countdown, go right ahead.
The bad news.
If you wanted to start a Dark Ages countdown, it's gonna be an awfully long one. For reasons I cannot disclose here (actually, some I can and some I absolutely cannot), Dark Ages will not be shown until next season, possibly in early September. I, on behalf of the whole TGS staff, apologize for this and promise to make it up to you all, our faithful audience.
If there is a bright side to all this... well, Gargoyles/Pendragon goes on until Independence Day and TimeDancer goes beyond that date. In a sense, TGS is kinda like the pink bunny. It just goes on and on and on...
I promise my next post will have better news in it.

Gaah. Didn't mean to start a stampede of posting about fic in the other room, but it was worth it.
Traveler> Yeah, that's definitely a serious weapon. I just used the .303 because Okami has one (it was affordable on a somewhat limited budget) and he got a kick out of my use of it in the RP
Heather> Ouch! I've never broken anything yet (frantically knocking on wood), but I sympathize. If you'll give me some general descriptions of your characters (wing-types, skin color, personality, etc) I'll try to draw some. I'm also curious about the meaning of the names. They are kewl!

*wiggles eyebrows at Coyote* Well, tonight quickly approaches....
Thanks for all the kind words re: my cousin. Now, though, she refuses to press charges. *shakes head* God.... She hasn't told her parents either....
GREEN BARON, SJ, COYOTE, et al> Ah, death is a little extreme. Castration would be fine. >:) And rusty knives... well, rusty penknifes, maybe.
CREATIVITY DEMON> This will only make sense if you've read ST:IX spoilers: Imagine Puck holding a VERY large phaser rifle (larger than himself)....
PUCK HEFTS LARGE PHASER RIFLE: Lock 'n' load.
DEMONA TO CRUSHER: And have you noticed how our--
PUCK BLOWS AWAY DEMONA
HEATHER> Hope your wrist gets better.
STARSINGER> *laughs* Have you heard about the woman suing the hospital for pain suffered during labour?
*cracks back* Now, off to hell. Or rather, English 10 when you forgot to do your homework.... *imagining Ms. Cameron with flammes shooting out of her eyes, and laughs.* You have to seen my English teacher to get this. She's 5'1". And REALLY thin.

**At the party, Jim has just begun to embarrass himself by moonwalking across the disco room, but no one seems to care, as there is a spectacular fireworks display going on the other side of the mansion. (Ala "Revenge of the Nerds") Its at about this point that Thailog, the masked magician, the Dark Mage, Sevarious Senior, Demona and all the other baddies arrive at the party...**
Woah, this is a long post... Why is there always one day a week where the CR expands by like 100 K?
Deuce- As I understand it, lightning hits the highest object around, no exceptions. So, if a gargoyle were flying higher than the eyrie building during a storm, they would almost definatley get hit. Almost surprising they haven't been zapped a couple times already.
Ravyn- Thanks for the offer, but the dude IS in jail...
Green Baron- Yep, there's a Kennedy or two at this party. I invited everyone I could think of...
Christine- Deadline on Avalon Mists? Crud, I'd better get started...
Traveler- Your post wasn't as long as some of your others... And I understand why you're reluctant to vote, it is my goal to read EVERY garg. fanfic there is. Of course, before coming online, I had no idea there were so many...
Snogard, snogard, snogard... Oh crud, its not bad enough I have the flu, I've been infected by the countervirus to your virus...
Zath- I am feeling better now, thanks...
SJ- See ya at the party.
Heather- You broke your wrist? How? Oh wait, you said you didn't want to talk about it... I sympathise, I broke my right wrist a few years back...
Cool character names, but what DO they mean?
Mandi- Your insane? Can't be too serious, you're able to find the CR and type coherently...
SOROW- HAPPY B-DAY!
Xena- Welcome! This is a pretty spiffy place, and new people are always looked forward to! I was new only a couple weeks ago, and look at how friendly I am, I'm making posts this long!
Kitainia- Didn't Callisto die in Xena's season finale last year so she could play a major part in "Young Hercules"? (Ick)
**Everyone takes defensive positions against the villains. Gargoyles present blare their eyes, and all heroes present aim their weapons. Thailog holds up his hands in surrender. "Hey, we just came for the party! We give up being evil for a short while and put all out plans temporarily on hold for one of Jim's parties! They are worth it!" To prove Thailog's point, a kitty cat falls from the sky. Jim yells out, "Hey! Cat-a-paulting is later!" So, the guests at the party shrug, and the villains temporarily put there evil sideson hold. Sevarious Senior has to ask," Anyone here interested in doing the timewarp?"**

AIRWALKER-- OK, what are youtrying to use to view the pic in The Scottish Play? If it shows up in your browser but not when you view it, then it is possible that the pic can only be viewed in the browser and in Paint Shop Pro only. Dunno why this happens but it apparently does.
FIRESTORM-- ZIP disk or ZIP file? Um, either way is fine. And Glad to hear the CDs are done. Hope you found at least a few of the files useful. As for labels... hell, I wasn't even expecting labels. If you still wanna go ahead with the labels, then the trademark pic and text color I use is great. Thanx much.

Should I send them on ZIP disk, or ZIP file? The CD's are done, I just have to make the lables. BTW... would you like your signature garg pic on it with the text in your traditional post text color?
BTW... Lady Mystic says hello, and due to RL stuff and her doing my business and personal web pages. Thanks hon!
Theresa: LM left a small message for you in the other CR
SJ: I read your story. Good start! Makes me proud to have spawned it! :)
Rape: Hmm... maybe I should finish that spawn.

I'll rape him, just so he can know what it's like, I don't care....
Went to the "wizard" today,(doctor)...., she still suggests that I go to AA. Whatever! I'm doin fine..., no weed, no alcohol...., quit testing me..., leave me alone! Over doin it sent me to the hospital to begin with..., I've learned my lesson, go away! Anyway....., what was I sayin???

**The screen lights up. The inside of the Onslaught has been restored to some semblance of order. Preston is tied up in a corner, being questioned by Doug and Coyote. Kitainia, a bandage around her head and one arm in a sling, comes forward to say something.**
Robby's Party: Everyone, if you want to attend it or not, it's your choice. We Ravens are planning to go for one night, just to say we went there. We'll have to leave quickly and not do anything rowdy, we need to take care of the Circus, Binky, and the Masked Magician (wonder if anyody knows his real name?).
Yep, Margo is a nuisance, except in Christine's universe.
Traveler: The Clan Austin leader's name is Guadalupe, not Duke. The Duke was just the inspiration for him. And so you know for the next time you portray him, he's a lot more like John Wayne than Hank Hill in terms of personality. Doug says thanks for mentioning his universe in your fond-of fanfics listing. Somewhat surprised you came after DMW for curing your dragons virus but not our cleric Orion. Uh oh... **Kitainia turns to Orion as he heals her injuries and warns him about Traveler. "Thank you," the cleric says. "I shall be cautious. But Traveler should also be, for no one may stand up to the power of the Lord." He removes Kitainia's bandages and moves on to the next wounded person.**
Mandi: Weird but funny new story. Thanks for posting it. Did you hear that Spike and Drusilla are going to return to Buffy next week?
Deuce: That sounds bad, your friend getting dumped for his little sister. Almost as bad as you breaking up with your ex-boyfriend and your little sister then beginning to date the guy over your warnings not to. (Yes, that has happened to me.)
Heather: Nice names. What do they all mean, I wonder?
Xena: Welcome to our madness. Make sure Callisto doesn't follow you. She would like it here a little too much, I think.
Wilek: Well, we may have slightly underestimated Janice, she can be tough when she needs to be. She's not an evil Miriam. Now that crooked Watcher on tonight's episode of Buffy, she was definitely one! <snicker>
Coyote: Okay, you caught Preston. You take care of him, decide what he knows about the circus if anything, and all that. Looking forward to your new story this Friday.
Midterms: Good luck to everyone who's taking them. Same to me.
That's all for now, later!
**The screen changes to show the outside of the truck, finally passing into the San Antonio city limits. As the screen fades out, they start heading for Robby's party. Meanwhile, Thailog and his council suddenly appear on the screen. Sevarius, Marsh, Guod, Asil, General Zale, Pastor Paul (a corrupt psycho Fundamentalist Extreme guy Shap knew and had troubles with who has now absorbed the remnants of Pastor John's cult into his organization), the Orange Duke, and the infamous Masked Magician are all sitting with him. "You two have failed me," Thailog says to Asil and Guod. "Give us another chance, lover," Asil growls back at him. "We'll get those Ravens yet." "Alright, you can try," Thailog shrugs with a chuckle. "You certainly still have plenty of their old enemies at your disposal. Pastor Paul, take those brothers you rescued from the Mid-East and Asia and go with them. Take the rest of your group as well. You will prove a good supplement to Asil's forces, especially since you have no traffic with devils. Zale, I want you to have Colonel Shreck and the rest of your militia track down that bothersome traitor Dark Mage Wilek. Eliminate him and anyone else who gets in the way. Masked Magician, see that preparations continue for the upcoming circus spectacle. Mr. Marsh will insure that the preformance is televised on every station via our powerful communications equipment. If everything gets pulled off without a hitch, the whole world will soon be willing slaves to our new order." The Magician bows and smiles. "If the Ravens interfere?" he asks. "Don't worry," Asil says. "We'll kill them before they can, we're going to crash that party our spy in their little group has been telling us about. And even if that doesn't work, you and Binky have enough cloned circus freaks, preformers, and trained animals to easily handle the Ravens." "Yes, I do," chuckles the Masked Magician. "Though of course I would prefer to hypnotize them along with the rest of the planet. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers." The screen goes blank as they all share in a bout of maniacal laughter.

**The screen lights up to reveal Coyote, Jason, Buick and the Gearhead still held at gunpoint by Preston, infamous summer-camp carrot pervert. He's levelled the Desert Eagle carefully between Coyote's eyes.**
You never change, do you? All these years and you still want to press a foreign object into me. And now you'll do anything for your bosses ... anything.
<"Well ... that and it's *really, really* fun! HEE HEE HEE!!">
Well, can I at least make some replies before you blow my brains into the next area code?
<"I suppose. Make it quick, though.">
All right, then.
Matt Dymond: By all means, I will keep you in mind if I write anything British into G:CM or anything else, for that matter.
Deuce: Don't get me fired up, man. Your sister's problem really hit home for me personally (I have a younger sister with cerebral palsy), and I don't mind your venting. Please, if there's anything any of us (myself included) can do for you or your sister, do not hesitate to ask.
Kyryn re female characters: Maybe you'd like my other stuff ... I have this thing about putting women into traditionally male roles and occupations (police detective, squadron commander, clan leader).
Robby: Yeah, that was a pretty good line, too. That had better be one *hell* of a party you've got waiting.
Ravyn: Depressed? You? Hmm ... feel free to vent, everyone else has.
Green Baron: If only you could ever hear my rants about "suitable punishments." (Myself, I think rape should be punishable by slow and painful castration. That's enough of a deterrent just *thinking* about it!!) For example, remember Susan Smith, the woman who drowned her kids in her car and lied about it? When I heard she had been found guilty, I thought of the perfect punishment had she been sentenced to death: lock her into a Yugo, weld the doors shut, then push it into a river (in other words, the exact same thing she did to her poor kids.).
Taleweaver: *LOL* I remember that scene!!
Traveler: Now *that's* some heavy-duty hardware!
Heather: Ouch. Hope you're healing fast ...
Mandi: Good to hear. It's probably a good idea to get checked out anyway, too.
SOROW: Happy early B-day! Feel free to split SJ's Chocolate Execution cake, it should still be there.
Xena: I bid welcome to someone with *impeccable* taste in handles. (Please forgive me. *ahem* My name is Coyote, and I am a Xenite.)
As for Manhattan and Ishimura coming together ... probably in the next couple of volumes of my own fics **WARNING SPOILER AHEAD!!** some of the Ishimura clan will join Brooklyn and Sata in Manhattan to face the Rokkans.**END SPOILER!!!**
Midterms: Buena suerte to all you college folks about to be slammed by midterms. I feel for you ... really ... if I hadn't run out of money about a year ago, I would be suffering with you.
***RP!****
<"Enough of this, fatso. Time to die.">
You won't fire that.
<"Why not?">
You don't even know what you're pointing at me. It's a Desert Eagle. A .50 caliber handgun!
<"So?">
Okay, go ahead and fire. Just don't say I didn't warn you.
**Preston laughs, pulling the trigger. Only by immaculate luck is Coyote able to duck the shot. The recoil sends Preston tumbling @$$-over-teakettle out of the tank, landing flat on his back. Coyote takes the opportunity to wrestle the Desert Eagle out of Preston's grip, now holding it up to Preston's heart.**
Give me one reason why I shouldn't ventilate you, carrot-crammer.
<"Err ... uhh ... heh ... I might have info on the circus!!">
Really? **cocks pistol** Useful information?
<"I certainly hope so.">
So do I ... for *your* sake. **Doug and the Ravens jog up to the scene, as the screen fades out.**

Good news from the CGI front. I just got word from Chris Rogers that the things I wanted have been implemented. However, since I really don't wanna touch another computer except for playing MP3's while I study, I won't experiment with anything until after my midterms.
What I need from y'all is this: I need every single archived comment room page you have. I'm thinking of implementing a large CR archive and I know there are a few of you out ther with pages since we began this thing. If you have it, please e-mail it to me at my addy below. Thanx much.

Heather when anyone asks what happened to your wrist, tell them it was "Skill, Co-ordination and Timing. All Bad!!
On the subject of rape, most states have a statutory rape law that says it may be consentual, but your still too young. And if your cousin is even slightly mentally retarded, there's probably an additional law that says it can't be consentual.
By the way, we have a case here in Albuquerque where the father is suing the mother for having his child. Too, weird.

Speaking of which, I was inspired by a few other fic writers' short vignettes about why they never have time to get all their fic ideas out, and wrote my own little bit about all the fanfics in all the TV shows I have on my backlog....and what happens when the ideas fight it out.

**Sevarius Jr., Frankie, Wilek, Dark Mage Wilek, and the rest are flying in the Millenium Falcon.
Suddenly, SJ leans over a console and stares at the brightly colored instruments. "Wow....Look at all the pretty colors....Gee, I wonder what this button does?" *presses button*
The Millennium Falcon abruptly fires laser blasts from its ion cannons, obliterating a large portion of a nearby mountain. Everybody looks at SJ in annoyance.
"Um....He did it!" SJ points at DMW.**
Deuce: Man, that's horrible. It's bad enough that your friend got dumped for her _younger_ sister (I mean, that's real, real, real! cold), but what happened to your cousin is absolutely horrible. I don't want to get on a soapbox here, but I think all rapists (and essentially, that's what he did) should....well, I don't know if I should say killed, but certainly they should be given the old "snip-snip"--forcibly. WITHOUT anathestic. With rusty knives. That, in my opinion, is probably the worst thing someone could do to a woman, and is unforgiveable. I hope things work out for you and your family.
Creativity Demon alert!!!: Doug, that was a pretty funny CD about Duval and Xanatos. Makes me think if there wasn't something goin on between David and Demona....
"Xanatos, we must destroy Goliath and his clan!"
"Whatever you say, my love. Imzadi...."

"Um...Wilek. We might have a problem."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, we're flying around in a ship that's a symbol of the New Republic. So I can guess why they'd mistake us for the Rebels."
"Who would mistake us?"
"Those half-dozen TIE fighters that just started following us."

TH vaults over the bar and starts helping out the stressed bar-tender. Zath gets a virgin bloody Cassius (TH's answer to his odd fear of clams, it's just like a bloody Caesar only it had a squid tentacle instead of a littleneck) and turns to catch up with the room.**
Hi all, I'm back. I won't be able to post quite as often for a while because things have started to pick up at school (have to read several chapters of Frankenstein a night while working on a research paper, and that's just for English class).

Here are your presents, a gift certificate good for one free brutal mauling of the person of your choice (Kitty would do it for free any time, of course, but the certificate means she promises not to try to bite you when she's finished) and a tissue sample from the thing that crach landed in my yard during last night's meteor shower (I'm not sure what it was, but it was greenish brown, about the size of a toaster, had five eyes and smelled like burnt menudo). I would have sent you the whole creature, but Kitty got to it before I did and you can guess what happened.
Doug> <<Thank goodness I was able to take matters into my own hands and nearly kill the guy.>> *evil snicker* There have been some people I would have liked to have done that to in the past.
Deuce> If you ever get to Oregon and find the scum-bag, get in a couple of good hits for me while you take whatever other revenge you feel is necessary.
By the way, does anyone know where I can get some good sound clips and/or screen shots of Sevarius, preferably from several different episodes?

DEUCE-- Y'know, have the parents charge the guy and get him arrested on rape charges. No matter what your cousin said, because of her state of mind, the offender can be convicted for rape and be sent for hard time (and get on the recieving end if he's lucky). Hope the family is holding on and will follow up on him.

Fleur: Alright, but I've been meaning to ask this since we got here; when we went through your portal/vortex and wound up here, we all got pretty sick from comming through. Somehow I don't think Clan Austin, the Storm Troopers, or me for that matter want to re-live that experence unless it's an emergency. Traveler *catching on to her train of thought*: Oh, so you want to know how were getting back? Fleur: In a word, yes. Traveler *joking*: But that was four words. Fleur: Ha, Ha, funny. But really how? Traveler*thinks for a few seconds, then has an idea which causes his face-plate to twist into a mailicious grin*: You round up the rest of the team, I'll go get CC and retrieve our "transporation". *hehehe* Fleur: Traveler, if I get back here and you have an aircraft carrier beached on the beach, I'm going to have S.J. whip up Teletubbie clones and send them after you. Traveler: Um... that's not what I had in mind, but if you want I DO have a few of those floting around somewhere.... Fleur: Don't tempt me. Traveler*worried*: OK, OK, I'm going. No aircraft carriers, got it. *Traveler and Fleur depart, each going to their seprate tasks.**

Hello all! It's that time again. *everyone in the CR groans and shaks their collective heads.* Yes, it's another "Incredabily Super Long Post from Traveler!!!" *In the background somebody mutters: "someone please shoot me..." Well...without further adeiu, on to the replies.
>Cotoye the Bando and Kyrn- So, you want something with a little more range ehh? How about a pair of these. (CLICK on my name to link to the site, BTW the page takes awhile to load, so you might as well get up and strech, make a sandwitch, watch a hockey game, etc.) That's right, the World Record holder, effective up to 3000 yards.>:) Enjoy.
>Wilek Nereus and DMW- *Their team is flying the MF to parts unknown (anywhere away from Thailog), when a dark energy vortex opens behind them.* Wilek: Oh no, not him again. DMW, something tells me you really shouldn't have screwed around with that Dragon Virus. DMW: Why? Who is that comming through the portal? And why am I getting such a strange energy signiture from it? It almost feels like...but not quite...Oh ^%$@!. *Traveler pops out of the portal along with CC.* Traveler*speaking to DMW*: Oh &^!%@&! is right laughing boy. You really should have contracted the virus like everyone else DMW, now how to punish you. Hmmm...how about a touch of grey? It seems to suit you anyway... *Traveler casts a spell, reaches out and pokes DMW in the arm with one of his exended claws, drawing blood. A blackish light momentarily envelops DMW. When it fades his body has been transformed into what looks like a giant deady bear in mage robes. DMW: You can't be serious! Traveler: When am I ever? But then again that doesn't quite suit you. I know, this will do nicely. *Traveler then snaps his fingers together and DMW is turned into a human version of himself.* *hehehe* DMW *looking at himself in horror*: Oh no, please no...I'll do anything!!! Traveler: Quit yer' whining before I turn you into a snack for your eagles. And the spell is on a timer, so if you behave for awhile it will eventaully wear off. If you don't then... Well you geet the idea. Ha! now that'll teach'em not to interfear with one of my plauges. *opens a portal, then turns back* Oh... before I forget: Everybody, if you see Jerec, or Sariss tell them I'm still on for next week, and that I'm a tad dissapointed with them. Dealing with Thailog, *HRMPH* they usually deal with a much higher class of criminal. TTFN. Oh great, now Fleur has me doing that. *as Traveler steps into the portal and it's closing, the last thing he hears from Wilek's group is a collective "Dragons, dragons, drago..."*
****Look out! It's another EPISODE SPOILER!!!****
"The Yorkshire Adventure". Ha, ha, ha, he, he, he, so Kevin finialy knows the truth about the Into the Mystic folks. I liked that scene. Question: How did Capt. Marter and his family learn about the London Clan? Or you can't tell us because that's another story you have planed? Another Question: <Griff grabbed the hound. Kevin saw his four-fingered hands and green skin and knew they weren't people.> OK, can anybody guess what's wrong with this statement? That's right, your all asking yourselves: Since when does Griff have GREEN SKIN? Anyway that's just a nitpick, the rest of the story I enjoyed reading greatly. Glad the TGS Staff solved that gargbeast population problem. And it should be interesting to see just why Arthur and Dulcinea have that shared dream/possible psyhic-link thing going.
****There goes another EPISODE SPOILER!!!****

Since this topic was brought up I keep having this Creativity Demon with Brooklyn or the girls recognozing one another, and Sata saying something like "Brooklyn, who are these FRIENDS of yours?"
>Cyrway- <Anything with the Outklaws...and the Angela Lansbury blow-up doll...don't ask, you don't want to know...> I didn't ask, but I know, and the inflateable Cthulhu pool toy. The horror...the horror..... <FAVOURITE LINE: Well, it's not posted yet, but it soon will be...from "Equinox"...> Wait a minute there speedy, if that will soon be posted, then what's happening with "Ambient Anarchists"?
>Todd Jensen- <I'd classify Margot as a nuisance. She hasn't been enough trouble to the clan to count as a villain (and I
doubt that she really has the capacity to).> Try reading Christine's later fics, that woman starts to play a signifigant role in the hunting of the gargoyles.>:))
>The Current Poll- No, no ,no, I abstain from this because I've read, to my knowledge, almost EVERY piece of garg fanfic out there. My brain's higher functions started to crash and burn when I started inadvertiaty thinking about it. All I can say for certain is that I have a fondness for a few select "on-going" universes/series. Cyrway, TGS, Hayden, Morgan, Elder, Coyote the Bando, Mandi Ohlin, Blacquiere, and Shadow Master, to name a few off the top of my head. I'll hit myself really hard over the head if I remember anyone else that should be listed but I'm really tired, and it's 5:29AM and I still have to get to bed!!!

**Meanwhile, back at Club Med: Fleur has finished gathering up the rest of the team, and now they are all waiting on the beach for Traveler to show up with what he calls "transportation". Duke (the leader of Clan Austin, asks Fleur): Now Fleur, we've been waiting here for close to 30 minutes now, and we haven't seen hide nor hair of that nut. Where is he? I mean that boy just strikes me as not quite right in the head if you know what I mean. Fleur: Look, he said he'd be here when we got back, I don't know what to tell you. *thinks for a few seconds* Unless... *yelling* Traveler! Where are you! I know you're here! Come out NOW!!! *Traveler and CC appear next to her sitting in a lounge chair.* Traveler: *Arugh* Not so loud, I'm right here! Fleur: Well you're here, where's the so called transportation? Traveler: Right here. *pulls what looks like a car alarm remote from his pocket, presses a button on it and an alarm disarming squlech is heard. Then a Klingon "Bird of Prey" shimmers into existence before them on the beach.* Fleur: O-K, that's good. But where did you get that?! Traveler*calmly sipping Pepsi from a Club Med gift store cup*: Would you believe me if I told you that it was parked next to the Protoss Carrier I have in dry-dock? Fleur: Never mind, I shouldn't have asked. Let's just get on board and GO. *the scene fades out as everyone onboard finds a seat and the ship lifts off, cloaks, and heads toward TX at an incredible speed.**

Goliath: “…or can accept the fact that this city is heading for a disaster of biblical proportions”
Mayor: “What do you mean biblical?”

Broadway “Floods, earthquakes”
Lexington “Rivers and seas boiling”
Hudson: “Fire and brimstone falling from the sky.
Goliath: “40 years of darkness”
Broadway: “The dead rising from the grave”
Brooklyn: “Human sacrifices, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria”
Mayor: “Enough! So what if none of this happens?”
Goliath: “If nothing happens, we’ll go to jail, peacefully quietly, we’ll enjoy it! But we are right and we can stop this think. Rudi! You will have saved the lives of millions of registered voters.”

Someone spiked the punch.**
Robby> I'm glad the punk is in jail. he sounds like a real moroun.
Jackal> I haven't read your fanifc yet, but come Thanksgiving break, I will. It sounds unusual, to say the least :)
Manadi> I hope you're feeling better. I just learned that I have soem health problems because of too much caffeine. This means no more chocolate and I have to cut the cokes.
Kyrvyn> I agree. The villainesses are good. They aren't just manipulative or big tough Janet Reno types. They are more balanced. Would Margot qualify as a villain or a nuisance?
Deuce> That is a poblem. I hope something is done about the slime that would take advantage of an innocent woman. I believe rape should be punishable by death, myself. Too bad my law isn't the US law. I just hope your cousin is OK and her parents.
United Nations> Maybe the Unseelies have UN ties. I for one would have the UN as a villainous force, but that's just me. I would like to see the Unseelie Court demolish the UN building and just send it scattering, though it might be abetter plot device if the Unseelie's have soem agents in the UN, or both forces enter a struggle for World Domination, but the UN would lose, since they are the world's biggest joke, IMO.

**The screen shifts back to inside the Onslaught. "Please," Agent Ripowski is begging Rob and the Aggie clones. "We'll do whatever you want. You don't have to kill anyone." "Well, then, inferiors," the Nazi counselor chuckles, "what I want is for you all to swear allegiance to the new regime that will soon rightfully dominate your planet." "You know we'd never do that," Stephanie points out and Rob nods. "So you'll have to die instead. With us, there is no room for negotiation." He raises his assault rifle to begin the killing, but then hears the noise outside caused by Kyryn. Read her exit Blaise-ism post to find out what happens. Doug and the others quickly draw hidden weapons in the confusion caused by Kyryn's sleep spell and begin attacking the enemy. In the middle of blasting one rather large enemy, Doug turns to face the Comment Room.**
Todd: Nice creativity demon. That sounds just like what the real UN would do. Too bad for them censuring isn't going to be enough to beat the Unseelie. Neither is negotiation, sanctions, or any of the other "peaceful war" tactics people seem to favor these days over good old action. Oh well, they'll learn when the time comes, even if somebody has to make them.
Deuce: Sorry to hear about what happened to your sister, hope she gets help soon somehow.
Robby: That party sounds like something we better think twice about attending. We are on a mission here, after all, and while it is good to take a rest sometimes, the bad guys may be very active while we do that. So we may not be able to afford to be idle. Oh well, we'll see what happens when we get to San Antonio. If the party looks like it would be too dangerous for us to attend, we'll just head on to the Hilton. If not, we'll be there. But I'm not making any promises.
Stephen RS: Okay, Roxanna is added to the list. I didn't add her before because I've only read a couple of your DeGuy Saga stories and she wasn't in either. So her character wasn't that familiar to me. I'll read more of your work when I find the time, and am of course looking very forward to it.
Kyryn: Yep, Maeve is calculating as heck. I like that in a female villain, it's a nice new twist on the old wicked witch type. She and Madoc will both definitely be people to watch out for in the coming crisis, as will all the Unseelie. BTW, nice job on Graham. You picked a good way to take out that guy. If you're curious, I met him at the same summer camp I met Rob and was terrorized by him and his stooges. Graham was like Boggs in Shawshank Redemption, only fifteen years old and especially fond of picking on innocent boys only a couple years younger (me and a few others). After half a term of trying to ignore his teasings, I had to beat him up, then slam his head into a steel post several times, knocking out five of his teeth and splitting open his nose, lips, and forehead in order to get him to stop pestering and coming on to me. And Rob was no help, of course. Neither was the other cabin counselor, a do-nothing kind of guy. Thank goodness I was able to take matters into my own hands and nearly kill the guy. It took three counselors and the head of the whole camp just to convince me to stop bashing his head against that pole. Bobby, the camp head, understood why I had to beat up Graham like that, and because of that I didn't get in too much trouble. He just sequestered me away from the camp a couple days, to cool down while enjoying his on-camp house's TV and Super Nintendo. Of course, after that, I was forced to switch cabins for the remainder of the term. Not that I minded. :) Graham was sent home after spending two weeks in the camp infirmary, and I hope his parents gave him a very stern punishment. You did, too. I'm glad this most awful former adversary of mine is now removed from our saga.
That's all for now, later.
**Bandit fires a shot from his sniper rifle into the truck cab, hitting Stephen in the head and taking him out. Penshorn is shocked and looks away from the three Ravens he's holding a gun on, just long enough for Tricia to psionically blast his mind, trying to stun him. The Evil Little Fat Folk Nazi resists, but is winded long enough for Tricia to also whip out her chain and wrap it around his neck. Just as Bandit's next shot enters the back of Penshorn's head, she pulls the chain taut, grislily snapping the neck of Penshorn. Meanwhile, in the back of the truck, Doug and the others have finished wiping out the clones. Rob is trying to get up, only to have Boris grab him and slam him against the wall again. He recovers more quickly this time, pulling out a pistol since he's dropped his assualt rifle. He takes aim at Boris, but is then shot in the back of the head and falls to the floor. The Ravens all turn in shock to look at Janice Ripwoski, who is lowering her own sidearm. "That man was clearly not willing to negotiate," she says. "A big mistake, that was." Doug shakes his head slowly and looks at the cab monitor, smiling as Jim, Shap, and Tricia indicate they're alright and that Bandit has dispatched Rob's last two stooges. As the screen fades out, the Ravens all turn to see if Coyote needs any help with Preston. To be continued...**

WILEK & ROBBY> Thanks, guys, but the asshole WAS a minor. *steam issues from Deuce's ears* And technically, it was consensual, although with the maturity and reckoning of and 11-year-old, she's not the greatest at making decisions. She tends to do so without thinking of the consequences... as did "Romeo".
However, I did write a whole new scene from a VERY unfinished fanfic (it's been in the brainstorming stage for two years). Click my name to read it. WARNING: This contains spoilers from my fanfic universe "Stolen Heart". If you want to read the whole thing this winter when it comes out, you might want to wait.
Generally when I write a story, I'll write beginning to end. But with this, there's just so much in my head trying to get out that I have to write it piece by piece, and hardly in order. (BTW, could/would lightning strike a gargoyle in flight?)

(Achoo!) still sick... Not much to mention since all the entries seem to come in around 9:00 PM...
Deuce- Venting is good! I did it just two days ago, it made me feel a lot better. What makes me feel even better is that the dude is in jail, and you'll feel the same way when your SOB is also in jail...
Patrick Stewart as Duval... I guess I can see that... Though I still think he'd make a good Madoc...
One of my favorite fanfic lines comes from Christi Smith Hayden's (Hope I got that name right this time) "Avery's Bad Day." It goes something like this...
"I" pound "HAVE HAD" pound "ENOUGH" pound "OF YOU!!!!" And it works REALLY well when you understand the visual involved...

[Wilek, Miriam, Jake, Teri, Anoth, Forfexx, Raoul, the Doom Commandos, TRC, the bikers, the Dark Troopers, SJ, Frankie, and Dark Mage Wilek are in the middle of an intense gunfight with Area 51 troopers. DMW casts a mind control spell, and the troopers begin killing and eating each other. Hades and Tenebria, the vampire eagles, dine upon the leftovers. Wilek: "Ecch. You are seriously sick, man." The team comes to a door. It's the door to the Milennium Falcon's hangar. W: "Alright team, this is it! Someone get that door open!" Jake and the cyber-imps begin hacking into the door's locking system.]
Deuce> Oh, no! I wish I could help, man...but I have no experience in these things. And whoever took advantage of your cousin will DIE if I have any say in the matter. Feel free to join the RP and bring the SOB along to kill (be twisted!), and feel free to vent here any time you like. Oh, and perhaps you can derive some small comfort from the fact that the SOB *will* end up in prison for violating a minor.
Jackal> <<I'm gonna take [the picture] down shortly.>> Oh...I hope it's not because of something DMW or I did; if we ruined the effect somehow, we're sorry. It was really a profound and powerful message. (There IS someone I wish that was...) Believe me, despite DMW's teasing, I very much like your style. Your particular brand of twistedness is very fun to watch in action, and a great inspiration for one of my own characters. Forfexx? [Forfexx looks up from strangling one of the surviving troopers with his own ripped-out intestines and waves.]
Robby> I'm glad that psycho you mentioned is in jail. As for blowing up the place, I think Miriam has some very nice stuff at the Dark Star. And interesting insight on a voice for Madoc.
Todd> Oh, that is the UN all around; I think censuring is all they do. LOL!
Doug> Miriam thanks you for the complement, and I thank you for that hilarious creativity demon!
[The door to the hangar opens, revealing the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy--and about twenty scuttlers guarding it. They fire on the group. W: "OH SNOT! EVERYBODY SCATTER!" The team runs off to different parts of the hangar in order to distract the scuttlers. Someone manages to get the Milennium Falcon's ingress ramp open, and the team makes their way inside, although the scuttlers manage to take down the Doom Commando cyberdemon and two cyber-imps. SJ: "Oh, man! I liked those things. Sure they were big eaters, but they were cool." The team activates the ship's defenses and shoots down the remaining scuttlers. W: "Finally!

I think somebody already said this, but I can't access the author index for fanfic. Is anyone else having this problem?
***Spoilers for the new episode***
I liked this episode a lot, but I had one major problem with it. It just didn't have the feel of a Gargoyles episode. It was an excellent story and well told, but for some reason I can't quite place, it didn't fit in with the original series feel.
With that out of the way, I must say that I enjoyed the character of Dulcinea. I was grinning throughout the scene with her riding to the tune of 'Man of La Mancha.' She has a unique style, and her bond to Arthur should be interesting. Also, her ability with animals might come in handy against the Unseelies.
One thing I'm wondering is if we will see either of the two Elaine's from last season show up again. Also, will the cabbie become another of Arthur's knights? Will he actually have any human male knights? Just a few questions I have.
***End Spoilers***

**Kyryn walks back through the portal from the CR room and looks at Bandit. "All right, let's get ready to move out.." She is tackled by Graham as the three other troll-mutants land and advance on Bandit. Bandit growls and fires the .50 cal gatling gun he just mounted on the motorcycle, cutting the mutants to ribbons. Kyryn backfists Graham, starts chanting, and shoves her clawed hand into his face. A burst of light explodes outward and Graham staggers back and melts into a puddle of goo from the inside out. Kyryn turns to the screen before going to check on the others**
Robby> See Doug's creativity demon about Duval.
I figured that since everyone was talking about capable women I would include some of the strong female villains from the series.
Capable women> One nice thing about a lot of today's writing is that people tend to avoid gender stereotypes, or the reactionary 'totally opposite' characters - i.e. - the pyscho-amazon-war-B@#&$-from-hell. I am glad to see so many strong characters, male as well as female, in the original, TGS, and fic series. I've always liked the way that Demona came across as strong and cunning, proving that a female villain doesn't have to resort to just being sneaky. It's nice to see someone hold their own against the good guys occasionally. I also like the way that Maeve is shaping up in TGS, she comes across as a very calculating person. The ones who think before they act are usually the long term nemesis who you have to watch out for.
Todd> LOL - sounds just like the UN. Then they sit back and wait for someone (read U.S. or Britain) to do something. Then censure that country for whatever they did to fix the problem.
**Those inside the truck hear gunfire, growls, and a high pitched scream. Rob grins at Doug, "Well, that little problem is taken care of."
"Yes, it is." says Kyryn, as she slams open the door, bouncing Rob off a wall. She tosses an Uzi at Doug. And chants, "Sleep now, evil ones". The bad guys start to sway, but are fighting the spell. Kyryn shrugs at Doug, "Oh well, I guess we finish it the old fashioned way. As the screen goes dark, she starts tackling disoriented Aggie-corps clones, throwing them against walls**

DOUG - While I'm not at liberty to say how Madoc's future strategy will go, your UN mention did remind me of a creativity demon that I had once about how the United Nations might have responded to the Unseelie Court if it had become aware of it (actually, this one's inspired by the comic book "Camelot 3000", dealing with the UN's similar confrontation of an alien invasion of Earth spurred on by Morgan le Fay):
"The revelation of Lord Madoc Morfryn and the Unseelie Court has finally given the human race something to unite it. Every single member nation of the UN has voted to take action against the Unseelie Court - by boldly censuring it. The trouble is, our UN emissaries that have been sent to deliver the official message of censure to Madoc's castle at the Brocken have never returned."

Coyote> Naming of Brittish characters. This shouldn't be much different to naming American characters. Over here we have probably as diverse a mix of nationalities as you will find anywhere else. This is to an extent now that the more 'regional' sounding names have become far less common, to the point where they are only as numerous as anything else.
Quite a few names though, are based on the occupation of an ancestor.. (Smith, Miller etc...) I wouldn't generally worry about making them sound British. Double barrelled names and upper class posh accents should definitely be avoided though as the worst possible cliche.
I'm not an authority on this by any means, it takes me ages to decide on names for my characters in my fic - which I'm still working on, but feel free to ask my opinion on names you have or UK elements in any of your fics.

DOUG (Re: Capable Garg Women): ::looks at the list, and flips when he sees one of his characters mentioned:: Wow! I don't believe it! Someone mentioned one of my characters from my fanfic??? Sheesh! Maybe I am as popular as some of my peers tell me I am... but, as capable as Jessica is, you should have mentioned Roxanna Hershey. That lady is one tough Cali-mamma! :)

(Jim is still waiting outside his mansion for the first guests to arrive. Really, he has a HUGE party planned that could provide a break from the RP mission for days, WEEKS even. He perks up as he sees the first truck arrive...)
Well, it's been an interesting weekend for me. I became an uncle, recieved a death threat, and now have the (Acooo!) flu. Joy.
But on that matter, worry about me no more! This guy who sent the ah... threatening message did it from his computer at home! So it was no trouble having him tracked down. Not somebody I know though. Apparently a sicko who had a list of e-mail addresses around San Antonio. I wasn't the only one he sent a message to. He's in jail now even as we speak. And from what I understand, the police actually caught him sending a message to someone else! Guy was either a complete idiot, or psycho... I would say check your local news, they might have something on it, but then, that probably isn't the case... I'll sleep a lot better tonight though, thank you very much!
DumlaoX- New stories until Independance Day? WOAH... That's like... I don't know, a lot.
Airwalker- I just realized, the city you live in has like, THE coolest name possible.
And I guess that death threat thing overshadowed my earlier posts, because no one responded to my thought that Patrick Stewart would also make a good voice for Madoc. I mean, he's THE voice everyone wants to see in the garg. universe anyway, and he has to be able to sound REALLY nice before he's revealed to be Oberon's brother. And sounding nice is something Tony Jay has a problem with.
(Jim smiles at the first guests to arrive. "Hey everybody, come on in! This is going to be the BEST party you'll EVER attend!")
No seriously, anything you people can think of, WILL be at this party. The gargs odviously, everyone in the room is invited, Road Rovers, Mighty Mouse, the rabid gators, Star Trek or Babylon 5 characters, you name it! And there are going to be almost as many... Activities available as guests! For those of legal age, there's even drinking available! Also, I've even invited the CR Lawyer, but please, try not to kill him until after the party is over. Heck, if the party gets wild enough, we can even blow the mansion up! But lets try to save that for the end...

I've umm..., made some editing updates to my story, so if something didn't seem right..., IT WILL NOW!!
<<I have no problems with that sort of stuff as long as it doesn't take precedence over character and plot.>>
See, I don't want "bad words" and violence to be what I'm remembered for (when this is all done). I want yall to say, "J's gotta great imagination- puttin all that together, he's a bit twisted! But cool." hehehee
<<..though I wonder a lot about his past. Especially as he relates to Brooklyn.>>
I could tell ya, but where's the fun in that? If it helps any..., Some of Chris's past will be revealed in the 4th "episode". By then you should have the general idea of what's goin on, (I guess), but you know how those plot twists are ::sigh:: you just never know. I'm not makin this easy for the characters, you, or me! We're all gonna have a hard time!!
<<How often do you think you'll be posting new chapters?>>
I honestly don't know how often they'll be up..., I'd like to be runnin on a realistic timeline, meaning a story that's set in Febuary 99, will come out Febuary 99. But before I can get to that story set in Feb though, I need to get thur a season and a half. So let me do some figuring real quick....
Hmm, I'd have put em out weekly.., but I don't see that happening. Bi-weekly maybe.
I don't think Chris should be labeled as a villain, he just has a really bad temper..., then again, telling someone your not gonna lie to him, tell half the truth and lie about the rest..., kinda makes you wonder.... :) But all answers await, either by askin me questions or in the story line. Speakin of which..., I don't mean to make this a long post..., but.., if yall ever ask me questions, is it cool if I put them on the web page and answer em there? I just thought I'll leave that invitation, cause even the tinyest thing like the clock in the car reading 10:14..., and "Sara..., I mean Susan..." mean something huge, and if you wanna ask about em and try to put things together before they're told, that's cool. Because I'm focused on makin you think, and the lack of morality is to throw you off.
<<My 'brother' scurried out as soon as he read your...poem? You *are* interesting; I adore the way you play with people's minds...what *is* that picture? Wilek and I have a bet going: he says it's an upside-down photonegative of a violent crime scene, I say it's some sort of symbolic abstract art.>>
Yeah..., I think it's a poem...., ok, ok..., I'll just say what the pic is..., but I don't want people going to it just to see it, after all there's reason why it's "hidden". I'm gonna take it down shortly. It's a color inverted, upside-down pic of a "suicide scene", the man is (was) laying in bed, he put the revolver in his mouth and ended his life, you can see the barrel of the gun in the corner of the pic, so yes it is a "crime scene" photo, but I'm using it as abstract art. I really am twisted, yall thought I was playin....
<<...I like to call, "DW"'s--Dickless Wonders. They have no guts, they're pathetic losers, just trying to get off by making people scared. Hope they find him and punish him severly.>>
Send that mutha(BEEP)..., oh..., forgot...., can't cuss here. Send that person to me, I'll have them running to their local church for repentence!!! heheheeehehahahahaha
Just a side note: My second story will be up 2morrow. Ok, I'm going to bed..., gotta go see the "Wizard" 2morrow, (the doctor), oh joy, I can not wait to see her. yay, whoppie....

**The screen lights up. Doug is propped up in the passenger seat of Jammer's station wagon inside the Onslaught's trailer, reading the latest issue of Knights of the Dinner Table. Suddenly Agent Janice Ripwoski walks up and gives him a long rant about massive bouts of violent behavior and the effects it can all have on people who observe it happening. Doug sighs, rolling his eyes, and says, "Look, I'm not too sure the alternative to what we've been doing would work. If you have other concerns,..." "What about that friend of yours, Mr. Martinez? Do you know how much gas he's using for his tank? He is being wasteful!" "Lathrop conjured up that gas from the 634th layer of the Abyss, aka the Plane of Petroleum. We're not taking it from the Earth, you don't have to worry about us depleting fuel reserves here. Same goes for ammo, we're getting that from another layer of the Abyss where they produce it daily for the Blood War, an eternal conflict of unimaginably hellish proportions." "I don't care where you're getting all this stuff, Mr. Elder," snaps Janice. "I care about how you're using it. Think of the children, how many children could have been driving by and saw you and your friends shooting all those people? And what about innocents? If innocents get caught in the crossfire next time..." "Look, Agent Ripowski, when somebody's trying to kill you or those you care about, do you stop to think about how kids will be traumatized by it, or who's going to be shot down accidentally? No, you just take care of business. If you can't react fast enough, you die. I'm sorry if you disapprove of that attitude on our part, but we have no other course. We know these people, they won't listen to reason. They just want to take over the world and make everyone their slaves, and the only way we can stop them is to kill them." "What about our justice system?" "No, that won't work. They'll clone up some slick lawyer and he'll get them out of it. Can't you see that your way of doing things isn't going to work here?" "No, Mr. Elder, and I intend to inform the President of you and your team's conduct on this operation. Then we'll see how long it takes before you are all removed from it and disciplined." She stalks off in a huff, and Doug turns to face the Comment Room.**
Yeah, and I bet a team that tries to do things her way, the diplomatic way, won't last five seconds against Thailog's forces. Or he'll pull a Saddam on them and appear to back off and then keep causing trouble again and again as he keeps his plans in motion. I don't want either of those to happen, that's the main reason we're choosing action over negotiation here. That, and nobody can negotiate with true maniacs like the people we're dealing with. Oh well, she can complain all she wants, but I'm sure the Prez will agree with my side of the story.
Wilek: I don't think Janice is an evil clone of Miriam. For one thing, Miriam doesn't look anything like Janet Reno. And Miriam is also nothing like Janice in terms of mentality. She may be quiet and efficient, but she is by no means a wuss, a shrew, or a whiner. Your friend's always willing to take up a gun and fight the bad guys, this _person_ is trying to get us to stop doing that. She can't see that it's what's going to save the world and all. Sigh, I guess she's our Margo.
Todd: Thanks for all the interesting info on Barghests. Wonder how people will react when the real ghost dogs (i.e. Garm and the yell hounds) reveal themselves. I also wonder how long it will be before Madoc and the other Unseelie show up on the steps of the UN, ready to deliver their ultimatum and start the war off. Not soon, I know, but it's got to be coming. Madoc's just making sure he can win the war first, before he starts it. Certainly a wise, if hopefully futile, decision.
Spike: I knew I recognized those names! Thanks for answering my question.
Rahassan: Same to you for the one about the Gummi Bears. I also enjoyed your "Enter the Dragon" story, there were a lot of funny Star Trek references in there.
Creativity Demon: (Note: Unless you know the ideal voice for Duval according to the TGS Staff, you probably won't get this.)
Duval- Number One,...
Xanatos- What did you call me?
Duval- Never mind, just send out your Iron Clan. We are approaching the Unseelies' castle.
Capable Gargs Women: Let's add Fox, Beth Maza, Sara Jasper, Angela, Demona, Una, Sata, Arianna, and Asrial to the listing. Elektra, Aiden, Birdie, Avery, Laura James, Rosanna, and Jessica DeGuy can also go in there for women from fanfic universes. Princess Katherine, Maggie Reed, and Sharon Nimura can also go in there for women who because of what happened to them in the series, became very capable.
DumlaoX: Alright, glad we're going to get so many episodes! Thank you all in advance very much for them. Good luck with your midterms. Everyone please wish me the same, I will be taking them myself next week. :(
Robby: Hope you soon deal with that guy who's been sending you threatening letters. If you want to bring him into the RP and take care of him here, feel free to do so. We'll be in San Antonio soon, we were planning to be there now but then Coyote had to bring up our infiltrater problem. We'll get to San Antonio as soon as we deal with it (you hear me, Coyote the Interrupter? -no offense intended-).
Hope that party you mentioned doesn't last too long. We have a lot to do in San Antonio. First of all, we need to investigate the Dingaling Brothers and Tardum and Daley circus. According to what Gubio found out, they are owned by Roger Marsh; run by Chuck Dingaling (accounts and payroll management), Harvey Dingaling (acquisitions and hiring), Bill Tardum (media exposure and legal matters), and Ronald Daley (the ringmaster); and somehow affiliated with Thailog. Their troop of clowns is led by our old CR annoyance Binky, and there's evidence of several transactions between Marsh and the Circus recently in that computer data. Apparently, he has been providing the circus with many cloned preformers, animals, and roustabouts, all genetically altered for maximum crowd preformance as well as loyalty to the regime. That nobody who was the Fox Masked Magician also works for the circus, guess he has something to do with all this. Don't know what Thailog has planned for the circus to do, guess we'll find out when we investigate them.
Gubio also found out some info about Marsh Industries. Its leader resembles Gene Hackman in looks, and President Shinra in mentality. He was educated at Harvard Business School, and built his company on the wealth in his family's chain of lumber mills and iron mines. The corporate headquarters is in San Francisco, and the Pacific Northwest is where one finds most of Marsh's factories and resource bases (the aforementioned mills and mines, among other things). We didn't find any evidence of his motivation for affiliating with Thailog, a lot of the data was unfortunately erased by the company and Tyl's security viruses as Gubio tried to look over it. We did manage to find out that Marsh is definitely the one who's been providing Thailog with all his weapons and high-tech stuff. Marsh practically has enough security people to run a private army akin to Shinra and Xanatos Enterprises's Goon Squads. And more munitions than he knows what to do with, which may be part of the reason he's supplying Thailog. Hope we can take him down soon, doing so will be dealing a major blow to the enemy. But first we must investigate the circus, which will be preforming a few nights from now in San Antonio's Alamodome. Guess that's as good a time as any to begin checking out these people.
SJ: Happy belated birthday, wonder if you got that DNA sample I sent you. Be very careful with it, it happens to be from a gelugon insect-demon from Hell's eighth layer. You should have lots of fun playing around with it. :)
Okay, that's all for tonight. Later, people!
**"Uh, Doug..." comes Keith's call and Doug turns toward him. He sighs as he sees that Keith, Stephanie, Kitainia, Shauna, Gubio, Mist, Lathrop, Orion, Boris, Elena, and Agent Ripowski are all being held at gunpoint by several cloned Aryan-esque guys in Boy Scout and Texas Aggie-Corps uniforms. Leading them is Rob Neblett, Doug's psycho Nazi ex-Marine and Aggie-Corps former camp counselor. Doug sighs again when he looks over his shoulder and sees Preston, a jerk Coyote encountered at a summer camp once, holding Coyote and his gang at gunpoint. He looks at the cab monitor and sees that Shap, Jammer, and Tricia are also being held hostage by summer camp bullies and stooges of Rob Steve Taylor and Richard Penshorn. "How the hell did you guys sneak aboard?" Doug asks them. "Those stealth and camoflauge techniques you were always too fat and stupid to master, Dogie," Rob chuckles, indicating for Doug to raise his hands and step out of the vehicle. "Now the strong shall triumph over you and your pathetic Ravens, at the behest of Furhrer Thailog." Doug shrugs and complies with his demands, remembering that Kyryn and Bandit are still outside the truck on their bike, and maybe they can help get them out of this. "I know what you're thinking," Rob laughs at him. "But Graham and his three fellow winged spiky mutant troll-rednecks are also out there. Your pretty friend and her little dog try anything, they will swoop down and kill them." Doug groans, mentally giving Kyryn and Bandit license to kill the four mutant troll-rednecks if they gets the chance to, and do whatever possible to help them. The screen fades out as two of the Aggie-Corps clones give him a pat-down. To be continued...**

**Wilek and Dark Mage Wilek are discussing the possible presence of several Dark Jedi's in Area 51, when all of a sudden they hear a noise...
DMW: "You hear that? That rustling noise? What is that?"
Wilek: "I...I don't know..."
Suddenly they turn to SJ, who's making the racket by unwrapping his B-day presents. Everyone stares at him in annoyance. "WHAT? Sheesh, a guy can't even open a few presents..."**
But seriously, check out my loot....I got a new de-atomizer, a reverberating carbonizer with mutate capacity, lots of new DNA samples (oh boy, that means lots more clones!), and ...um, this crate from the Rolling Calf... **the thing in the crate suddenly growls, and SJ jumps back a few feet** Um...I'll open that one later. Thanx to all of you who gave me best B-day wishes!
Best of all, I got Christine's book!!!! I got a friend of mine to buy it for me for a b-day gift, and he just dropped it off. Pretty sleek, Christine! Once I find the time out of my incredibly busy life, that baby's first on my reading list.
Oh, and Deuce, I'm 20 now. Please, make those Birthday Bumps gentle!
Fire Storm: Thanks for only throwing pie. Most people just throw bricks. Geez, as soon as you mention the words "mad scientist", or even "occasionally mad scientist", they get all hostile. I mean, how the heck do they find the pitchforks and torches so fast?
Jackal: I just read your fic....you're completely twisted! And as Jerry Maguire would say, "I DIG that about you, man!"
Robby: Geez, what is this? First Heather's getting death threats, now you? This really makes me p.o.'d. I had a friend once who had that happen to him, some loser was trying to shake him up. The good folks from the police department found him out too. Scared him so bad he left my friend alone and thought twice about screwin' around with anybody else. Most guys who do that are just, what I like to call, "DW"'s--Dickless Wonders. They have no guts, they're pathetic losers, just trying to get off by making people scared. Hope they find him and punish him severly.
Wilek: So, DMW wants to defect, huh? Well, I still don't trust him. And it looks like Sariss, maybe even Jerec are now involved? Oh great, nothing more annoying than a Dark Jedi. Always waving their hands around saying "All too easy", they got them funny lookin' swords, whinin' about the Force....
**SJ turns to Frankenstein's Monster.
"Hey, Frankie."
<Yes, SJ?>
"I still don't trust DMW. I'd LIKE to think he wants to help us stop Thailog...but just in case, watch him. If he double crosses us, you have a pretty good chance of taking him out."
<No problem. If he hurts you or any of our friends, I'll make sure he never gets out of her alive....>***

**The screen lights up to reveal the tank party gassing up the big machine. Jason and the Gearhead are struggling to hold up a 400-gallon gas can, guiding the fueling hose into the tank. Buick is sleeping near the treads. Coyote clears his throat, preparing to make his post.**
Hey guys. We should be pulling up in San Antonio any time now, we're just gassing up.
<"Hey, Coyote, plan on helpin' us sometime?">
Oops ... sorry, guys. **takes a supporting position under the gascan.** While we're fueling, let's get some replies in.
Robby: Maybe I miscounted, I would imagine that Road Rovers did have 13 eps. My mistake, mea culpa.
Hope your luck gets better with the threats. Believe me, if it were possible we'd be patrolling up and down your street with this here tank.
<"WHAT?!">
Relax, guys. You know we would.
Kyryn: I was using the .22 because that was the only one we've got with a long-distance sight. We have some larger calibered stuff, but it's no good from the distance we neede. Believe me, we've got some stuff that would make Hunter Fire Storm drool.
Speaking of which ...
HFS: Oh well ... guess you couldn't bring the Desert Eagles with you, huh? Lucky for me I happen to have one in the tank.
MDY: Can you give us some idea on how to not create cliche British names? I've only tried writing British characters in length once, and only gave a last name to one char., a Scotland Yard detective (his last name was Drivvey).
Mandi: **looks concerned** I would watch yourself very carefully, that may not be just sinuses. Voice of experience speaking; I had trouble staying awake in college, and after consulting with a few doctors I found out I had sleep apnea. I don't have the problems with my sleeping anymore, but that's because I sleep hooked up to a small air compressor.
Now that I read the first sentence, I've discovered that it made absolutely no sense ... oh well.
Spike: Hmm ... now I'll have to read "Equality" all over again and try to figure out who's who!!
Kyryn: Don't have my schedule handy, when do our teams meet again? I know I've already got Deuce against me this Thursday.
SPOILERS AHEAD!!*******
Did I happen to mention how much I like Dulcinea? Did I happen to mention that I like her so much I may write her into G:CM? (well, not immediately ... that would be too convenient.)
Anyway ... I agree, she's one of the most competent women in the Gargs universe after Elisa. And even still, I would love to see Dulcinea and Elisa teaming up.
SPOILERS END!!***********
Completely off topic ... I know that not everybody in this place likes, or even cares for, Meat Loaf (let me finish, pleeeeease!!), but I was watching the stuff VH1 was showing about him last night, and thinking about filking more of his songs. I just want an opinion on the two I want to do from those who are familiar with the songs before I start, and their opinions on the completed filks before I post them. Without further ado, the two songs I want to filk are "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" (which I'm sure everyone's heard at least 20 times on the radio) and "More Than You Deserve" (off his second album, very rarely heard because the album itself was a bomb but it's a good song).
***RP!!!***
<"The can empty yet?!">
I think that's ... the last of it.
**Coyote, Jason and the Gearhead pull the can away from the filling port of the tank. Everybody wipes the sweat away from their foreheads.**
Okay, then. What say we all grab forty winks?
<"Who's that?!">
**Jason points up, seeing a strange-looking man pointing their Desert Eagle at the group: it's Preston, a very old adversary of Coyote's. He's wearing an evil grin and bloodshot eyes.**
He's got all our weapons! How'd he get in the tank?!
<"Ohhh crud ...">

*Walks in with a spotlight following him where ever he goes*
Oh, thank you for the kind words. I thank you, the dragons thank you, the muses thank you. I'm particularlly thrilled that everyone's caught all these references. When I was writing it these things popped in my head and I thought 'nay, no one's ever going to pick this up' Boy was I surprised. Yes, I 'borrowed' Gusto and Sunny from Gummi Bears. Actually, there's one more Gummi Bear in the story, though more in mannerism than in name. I can only hope my other stories will be so well recieved.
Favorite scenes from my fanfic: Best action comes from Orpheum Road, Clio pole vaulting over Cerberus and Elisa fighting Apopthis. Best scenes though are from the Star Trek convention in Enter the Dragon. Puck in disguise as Data, Diana Maza getting an autograph from Nichelle Nichols, Matt Bluestone being mistaken for Biff Tannen (The Butt-head remark had me laughing as I wrote it) There's a slew of others, but the best is David Xanatos talking to Jonathon Frakes.

The Yorkshire Adventure - A good episode. I have to say that Pendragon has improved a lot in this season.
DumlaoX - I saved the picture from 'The Scottish Play' to disk, but when I try to view it from disk, I'm told that it's not a valid image and that it could not be viewed.
I thought that maybe there was a problem the first time I saved it, and tried again, but I got the same results. I'm not exactly sure what the problem is. All I know is that the picture won't save to my disk. Do you have an idea what the problem might be? Any assistance would be appreciated.

SHAUNTELL - Um, it's Arthur, not Author. (Actually, I'm a little taken aback at this particular spelling error. Do you also write that "Death of a Salesman" was written by "Author Miller" or that the President of the United States from 1881 to 1885 was "Chester A. Author"?)
*TO THOSE WHO HAVE NOT YET READ "THE YORKSHIRE ADVENTURE", SPOILERS AHEAD *
BARGHESTS - These are "genuine" legendary beings, more commonly known as barguests (we used the less common spelling after "barguests" started provoking too many "Cheers" jokes among the staff). The notion that they were actually gargoyle beasts was our own invention, of course - made all the more feasible by "The Hound of Ulster" where another phantom hound turned out to be a gargoyle beast.
Incidentally, the basic concept of this episode was left over from Season One of "Pendragon". When we were first conceptualizing the "Pendragon" spin-off, I had initially envisioned Cavall as being introduced as a gargoyle beast gone wild a la the Hound of the Baskervilles, and being discovered by King Arthur and Griff when they took time out from their quest for Merlin to investigate the "ghost dog" legends; however, when I found out about the London clan's estate from Mr. Weisman's revelations, I decided to relocate Cavall there instead, and the "wild gargoyle beast" notion was relocated to Season Two.
For more information about the original barghests, I recommend Katharine Briggs's "An Encyclopedia of Fairies", an invaluable source of British faerie-lore, which also includes information on other legends of the British Isles involving magical and mythical creatures. It contains everything you ever wanted to know about the Third Race, but were afraid to ask, and is a very enjoyable and worthwhile book.

[Wilek, Miriam, Jake, Teri, Anoth, Forfexx, Raoul, the Doom Commandos, TRC, the bikers, the five Dark Troopers, SJ, and Frankie are stalking the corridors of Area 51 with their highly unlikely new teammate, Dark Mage Wilek. The two vampire eagles are now being held by the real Wilek. Wilek: "You know, you'd be surprised what good pets these are. They're intelligent, loyal, and surprisingly affectionate. BTW, sometime during the day, we found a terminal that had access to a complete map of Area 51. We now know where the Millennium Falcon is stored, and we know that Thailog plans to launch it in two days. We'd better move our tails; this is a big place. Dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons--" Dark Mage Wilek: "Oh, not one of those blasted things. Even I'm not low enough to do *that* to anyone. When I was cloned, I was programmed with rather a lot of magic experience. I know about magically enhanced viri like these. I don't want to be infected by you people. You don't mind being cured with evil magic, I trust?" DMW casts a spell, and a black mist rises from the bodies of the team and coalesces into a multitude of small, hazy black crystals. DMW: "You're welcome."]
Kitainia> <<Thanks for the complement.>> You're quite welcome. :) <<great character development on DMW>> Why thank you. <<Miriam's Dark Jedi friend>> You mean Jerec? Well...he's from the Star Wars game Jedi Knight. He was actually killed by the light-side Jedi Kyle Katarn a few decades ago, but considering all the cloning that's been going on...speaking of clones, I wonder if Miss Janice Ripowski might not be a disguised evil clone of Miriam, sent to stop you from interfering. She does seem to be hindering more than she's helping, and she does have that same quiet, efficient manner...
Robby> OH, NO! First Heather, now you! WHEN WILL THIS END?!?!?!!?! WHO THE [expletive deleted] IS DOING THIS TO MY FRIENDS?!!!?? Whoever you are out there, you will regret *ever* tangling with the Gargoyles fandom. The worst thing that will ever happen to you is having gotten this little blue garg ticked off at you. (Actually, I am not as little as all that. This is kind of like when there are huge guys who are nicknamed "Tiny".) Watch your back after sunset....
Spike> <<the only difference being that I gave them the names of people from the S8 chatroom.>> Wow, there are people in the fandom who are actually immortalized in TGS eps. I wonder if Miriam or I will ever get that honor. (Yeah right. Dream on.)
****SPOILERS****
You know, sometimes I wonder just exactly what there is between Arthur and Dulcinea. Why are they psychically linked? What could be their connection?

Just finished my Chem midterm. I had to say not as difficult as I imagined, though the last question made me think hard. Ah well, what I really fear is the Life Sciences midterm this Wednesday *shudders*.
DOUG-- Correct. Gusto and Sunny are names of two of the Gummi Bears. Gusto was the brown bear with the dark green cap and Sunny was the yellow bear with the green outfit.
MANDI-- You sure season 1 characters dropped out of sight? >;)
SHAUNTELL-- A 404 error means that the document you requested does not exist. If you've been getting the message for 2 weeks now, maybe you should try clearing out your cache in your browser. I know some browsers don't like to update their storage system and keep on giving you those errors. That should do the trick.
As for the "imbalance" in showing adventures of the Manhattan Clan and the England Clan, yes, there is an imbalance. So far we did outnumber the eps with Griff when compared to the eps with Goliath. But remember that this is the beginning of the schedule. Like I mentioned before, the total number of episodes this season is kinda jarring. In fact, if we don't skip a week, you can expect a fresh TGS episode every Monday until Independence Day.
Finally, in terms of Dark Ages, I know the staff has been discussing that series for a while now. I'll check in with them and give the official word when as soon as I get it.
Till next time...

I just need to check up on something and make sure that my guess is right. What exactly is the error message 404, and what does it really mean? Obviously it means that a document either didn't exist or could not be retreived. But now I've gotten that message two weeks in a row. If that is still happening to me, could there be something wrong with my computer? For two weeks now I've had to use Tods name to read the stories. What could be happening to cause that?
And, I was wondering when Dark Ages were finally going to start. Also, will Goliath and Angela end up hating each other? When I was finally able to read, ' The Scottish Play ' Demona was asking Angela to keep what they were doing a secret, and I know that Goliath would not like that one little bit. Goliath won't cause a severe rift in his relationship with her, will he? It's all ready sort of weak, but aren't they going to try and strengthen it? It worries me that I don't see him telling his daughter that he cares for her. It's almost like Angela is recieving mixed messages from her parents and it makes me wonder, will that ever be resolved?
Oh, and before I scedadlle, why are only seeing Author and Griff in TGS and not the real Gargoyles? I see more of Griff and the others than I care too. There's way too much of them. I'ld like to see more of the New York gargoyles rather than the England gargoyles. Also, everything in the stories seems to be moving sooo slowly...
Anyway..this weeks story was still good, even kind of cute. Those pictures of the gargoyle pups were really cute. Thanks to whomever the artist had been, they were fun to look at. I've always been a softie with puppies.
Well, later.

Just so I don't scare anyone else--and now that I'm coherent--the reports of the passing out were greatly exaggerated. Most of it happened in my bed or lying on the floor trying to read my book for Honors, and it was more a result of finding it impossible to stay awake with terrible sinus pressure. Sorry if I scared anyone.

Yup, those were in fact the same three girls that looked the Trio over in the subway during "The Mirror." I tried to describe them as closely as possible to the show, the only difference being that I gave them the names of people from the S8 chatroom.

Sorry.

ROBBY> Good luck in finding whoever's been sending you threatening stuff. Most likely you know this person, otherwise s/he wouldn't be threatening violence. I know all about evil e-mails. I recently received a letter from a certain "A-nonymous A--nonymous": some jackass taking advantage of Hotmail's stupidity. Basically, it said "leave the people you've been bothering alone or your life will get worse than you could ever imagine". *sardonic grin* Well, I took the proper procedure: replied with a VERY nasty letter, hacked into the account and changed the password once my message was read, and informed abuse@hotmail.com. Hehehehe.... Thing is, I KNOW who did it; know her personally, as a matter of fact. So, I then told the principal she was sending threatening e-mails from school, and she lost ALL computer privilages(sp?) at school. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.

**Mandi comes in normally, although she looks a little frazzled.**
Ugh, excuse my appearance. I've literally been passing out at intervals this weekend, and I don't know why. One minute I'm sitting on my floor trying to do homework, and the next thing I know, I'm waking up two hours later.
Anyway...**TGS SPOILERS AHEAD**
First off, I was initially disappointed that the "Previously on Gargoyles" bits didn't lead in to what I thought they did. (Todd, Kathy, before you moan at my obsession, let me finish.) Having said that, once I got into it, I really didn't care! Dulcinea is a great character, and having seen "Man of La Mancha" I got the song stuck in my head all morning....at least it wasn't "Impossible Dream"! :)
Good to see Kevin finally find out about the gargoyles, instead of dropping out of sight like so many characters in Season 1 did. (Hint. Hint.) This episode would have been great to see, especially the bit with the two hunters completely missing the parade of weirdness that passes them by. LOL!
**TGS SPOILERS END**
That's all for now. I have to get caught up today since I was out cold most of the weekend. :)

TGS Spoilers *****
The Yorkshire Adventure: A good story, introducing a great new character and with a few amusing scenes. Particularly the scene where Cavall and the beast dash past the hunters without being seen (This would work even better onscreen :D ).
I'd have liked to see the Illuminati's hunter developed further, they wouldn't hire just anyone for a job like this, yet he seemed rather arrogant in presuming no-one else would be coming after the creature. Dulcinea managed to beat him without much trouble, so it is doubtful he could have handled Arthur and several gargoyles.
Aside from that, being an inhabitant of Yorkshire myself, there were just a couple of quibbles - even used once the term tavern seemed very out of place, the word just isn't used any more. Also the cliched name 'Higginsbottom' made me shudder (mind you stuff written in the southern half of the UK can be just as bad), so it's no major problem.
Aside from these points it was a very good ep and bodes well for the future, provided all these elements are actually going to be incorporated at some point.
Babylon 5 set up several things that appeared a big deal at the time, but were never utilised much. I hope TGS will prove to have better continuity.

**No RP from me tonight, no time (sniff).**
I really liked "The Yorkshire Adventure" and I too laughed at Kevins reaction to Leo, Griff, and Cavall. Sort of makes you wonder how you would react to a similar situation. Dulcinea is a cool character and I hope she sticks around for a while. She and King Arthur have that pyshic connection thing going there.
Oops gotta go see ya later.

(Jim looks at the now cleared rooms at his mansion, and waits for the others to arrive.)
Well, who else here likes getting threatening e-mails? Show of hands? (None are raised.) That's what I thought. I just love getting messages from someone cussing me out and saying he is going to hunt me down and ah... Well, the actual e-mail was a bit too nasty to recap here, needless to say, it was not pretty.
I've already notified AOL about it, AND called the police. They're patrolling the neighborhood as I type. I'm making sure all the doors and windows are safely double locked, the dogs are nearbye, and the alarms are set. (And we DO have bars on those windows) and I'm going to be extra cautious over the next few days. Oh yeah, death threats are always such pleasant and fun things to recieve.
What's kinda interesting is, I've just been scrolling down the image list over my last few posts, and Jon Castaway is up for this post. Appropriate almost...
(Jim continues to sit around at his mansion, waiting for the gang to arrive. He knows they have a mission to worry about, but he's already prepared a BIG ol' party for everyone to enjoy when they arrive. The party could last for days, and make a nice breakup for the RP...)

**The screen comes on again. The Ravens, now fully resupplied and all back together, are heading for San Antonio in the Onslaught. Gubio and Mist have now returned to them via a spell of Elena's, and are both in the corner of the trailer mumbling "Dragons, dragons," uncontrollably. Kitainia is waking up Orion nearby. "What do you want?" the cleric asks. "I was just having the sort of dreams I'm not supposed to." "Can you cast a cure greater disease on Mist and Gubio?" Kitainia asks him. "They probably have important information for us and they can't say it right now because of the dragons virus. Which, by the way, was also in Gubio's e-mail to me." "I'll get right on it," the cleric says with a smile, walking over and beginning his ministrations. Kitainia turns to make a CR post.**
MrNoying: Get your spare bedrooms ready. By the time of the next post, we will be in San Antonio. I assume we are still going to be staying at your house.
Jackal: Nice first fanfic. Chris is a way more interesting (and violent) Brooklyn's brother character than any I've seen before. Good job on charecterizing him. Can't wait to find out more of his past. How often do you think you'll be posting new chapters? And about the pic, yes, I want to know what it's of. Please tell me. Send the answer by e-mail if it's too depraved to say in the Comment Room.
Wilek: Thanks for the compliment. I too think Dulcinea is one of the more capable women on Gargoyles. (Though the big award for being so goes to Dame Elisa Maza!) Also, great character development on DMV. Wonder what's going to happen to him before it's all over. And I hope you soon encounter Miriam's Dark Jedi friend. I just know he's got to be somehow mixed up with Thailog. :)
(Warning: Episode Spoilers!)
The latest ep was another good one. I like Dulcinea as a character, and hope to see more of her, as well as Gusto and Sunny. (Creativity Demon: The two of them end up trying to train the remaining "Barghests.") Kevin's character was very humorously developed in the story, I was laughing out loud at his reaction to meeting Griff, Cavall, and Leo! Also, good portrayals of Arthur, Griff, and Darien. Hope we learn more of the latter in the future. I'd like to know exactly how he first got involved with Madoc. And also what happened to the warehouse of his Faulk saw the vamps being taken to. Did Arthur arrive at the place to find it abandoned?
Nice pics, too. I liked especially the ones of the "Barghests."
Overall, another good job, hope and know that it shall continue!
(Spoilers End Here.)
Doug: I also noticed the similarities between the girls in "Equality" and the ones in "The Mirror." Bet they really are the same girls, it'd be just like the TGS Staff to show us more of background characters!
That's all for now. Later!
**Kitainia sees Orion has finished casting his spell and it has worked. She starts walking over to talk to Mist and Gubio about what they found when someone taps her on the shoulder. She turns to see the Ravens' government liasion, FBI Agent Janice Ripowski. "What do you want?" Kitainia asks her. "I have to debrief Gubio." "Attempting to brush off your gov't liasion," sighs Janice, marking something on her clipboard. "I have to talk to you about your team's recent conduct, Ms. Telman. I do not think you've been doing a good job." "Excuse me, we're kicking bootie here and taking care of the bad guys. Isn't that what we're supposed to do?" "Yes, but you could try negotiating with them before you start the bootie-kicking. You don't have to engage in as much mass murder, breaking of traffic laws, and property damage as you have been, and I don't think Washington would approve of you planning to execute prisoners without a fair trial." Kitainia sighs and rolls her eyes, wondering why they had to hook up with the government. "Sorry," she tells Janice. "This is our first time working for the government. We've just been acting like we usually do, and we've been getting results from it. Frankly, Agent Ripowski, I'm not sure what you propose would work on these bad guys." "You could at least try it," Janice snaps back, to a nod from Kitainia. "Alright," she sighs. "Next time we will, and see what happens. Now if you'll excuse me, please go take things up with Doug and Keith Wang-Matthews. I have to debrief Gubio before we reach San Antonio." Janice nods and walks off as Kitaina begins to question Gubio and Mist about what they found in the Marsh Building's computers. The screen fades out, so that will be revealed next time.

Sorry for the double post but I just finished catching up and had to add this . I konow its a bit morbid , but its my nature , you should see some of my drawings .
(TRC is seen at the Warfs , he is watching a 4foot by 4foot crate that is rocking violently while being carried by a crane about to load it onto a cargo ship heading for the states . Suddenly , a plank of wood on the side of the crate is broken from within and a sharp claw slashes one of the straps to which the crane is attached , the crate then falls the twenty feet to the ground .
One of the port workers slowly approach the crate . When he is 5 feet away something flashes out of the crate and yanks him against the side , his screams bring people running , and he is unable to fit through the space that the broken board has left . . . . not all at once anyway . TRC reaches the crate and pulls out his shock rod as the man's body is pulled into the crate . He immediately begins to shock the contents into submission .
"Bad " he yells , " I told you never to do this again , you know how long it takes me to get through all the police forms . *sigh* . " TRC motions to the other workers , some of which have suddenly turned green and wet their pants , for the another plank , nails it on and proceeds to rap the box with steel straps . The crate is then lifted into the ship's cargo hold by the crane .
Well SJ , happy Birthday , hope its been good so far . Your present is enroute . (looks at ship) . I probably should have fed him before we left , but at least this way he wo'nt be so hungry when he reaches you . And keep some Cyanide handy for when he arrives , its the only thing that acts as a strong sedative , but do'nt worry even on his worst days it only takes a canister to put him down for an hour .)
Doug : Could you please send me a copy of your latest via the usual medium (E-mail) . And do'nt be so pessimistic , just because your caliber is'nt as high as many of the other writers right now does not mean that you never will be .

[Wilek, Miriam, Jake, Teri, Anoth, Forfexx, Raoul, the Doom Commandos, TRC, the bikers, the five Dark Troopers, SJ, and Frankie are in the Area 51 research facility. Two vampire eagles finish taking care of the security guards, and Dark Mage Wilek, who is standing in the rafters, calls them back to him; they perch on his right forearm in the traditional falconer's style. In his left claw he's holding a large white flag... Wilek: "Stay back, everyone; we don't know what he's up to." Dark Mage Wilek glides down from the rafters and speaks. "Don't you cretins recognize a blasted flag of truce when you see it?! I'm here to help!" SJ: "What? Last time I saw you, I was chained to a rock, waiting for a flock of those *things* you're holding to rip me apart." DMW: "Things have taken a turn for the worse. That buffoon Thailog may have called the Empire AND the New Republic down on our heads. The former will kill us because we're not human, the latter will kill us because of this entire Solo debacle. Either way, we are in decidedly deep snot if Thailog decides to use the Millennium Falcon for...you *do* know what he's going to do with it?" W: "Yeah." DMW: "Then you realize just what we're up against. I don't want to be executed any more than any of you do; I have every reason to want to help stop Thailog. You'd think that a clone of someone like Goliath would think things through a little more. In summation: I want in." W: "And how do we know we can trust you?" DMW: "Quite honestly, you don't. However, if you don't let me help, I'll try to stop him on my own, and you just know we'd end up stepping on each other's feet. If, on the other hand, we work together, Thailog doesn't stand a chance. Well?" W: "Mind if I think it over while I make this post?" DMW: "Post?" <looks at the screen showing the CR> "Ah, that. Of course."]
SJ> Ah, it's the birthday of the very model of a modern mad geneticist! Happy birthday! If we weren't all stuck in Area 51 I would buy you a gift...remind me when we get out of here.
"All things are true"...didn't Kosh say that once?
****SPOILERS****
Dulcinea ROCKS!!! She is one of the more capable women I've encountered, and I know more than a few from this very CR (ie Miriam, Teri, Kitainia, Theresa, many others). This Brazilian dance fighting sounds interesting. And I was LOL while I was reading the scene where those two idiots are kvetching about how nothing exciting ever happens when Arthur and co. are gliding around not twenty feet away! And that quote, "things only get stranger from here"...That will be added to more than a few "Favorite Line" lists, I think. Right next to "I will kill them" (that's one of mine) and a lot of the others I've encountered. And I don't dare go without commenting on the pics. Especially a photo of a real place that you used! What, did you people base this on a real myth? These eps get better and better.
****END SPOILERS****
TRC> I'm glad you mentioned Future Tense. One of the things I liked about that ep is the many changes they made to the characters and locations, especially Claw, Lex and the Eyrie. Interesting that they gave Claw actual hair instead of just the fur that he always had. (Anyone ever notice that that particular hairstyle is rather popular in the Gargs universe? Puck, the Magus, Jackal, and Hyena all have it.)
Which reminds me...Greg said that Claw became mute due to emotional trauma; if there were another contributing factor, he would have said so. What I want to know is, what caused this trauma? The mutation alone? And what would it take to get him talking again?
[DMW: "As a gesture of good faith, I'm willing to give you my little pets here, Hades and Tenebria. You'll find them quite useful in the battles ahead. Besides, Tenebria's expecting eggs, and a vampire eagle simply can't take care of children and keep up a very active lifestyle like this. Well?" W: "Mind if we think it over?" DMW: "You have one minute." There is a muted discussion among the members of the team. DMW: "Time's up." Wilek speaks for the group. "Alright. This is against my better judgment, but...you're in."

No RP for now .
Hi all , Sorry I have'nt been in here for a few days . I would have posted the day prior to yesterday (Friday for those of you who are a little too frassed from tests to work i out ) , but I made the mistake of deciding to read the rest of the posts first , and I just finished . Thank you all for slowing down a bit .
Survey :
Most Worrisome : All of Future Tense and every single event that pushes Lex further towards the edge .
Most Romantic : I liked The Kiss best of all , but I also liked all of the "I need a detective scenes " . And from TGS my absolute favoirite Romantic scene was the "he protect her , she protect him scene " . That last scene at the end of "Fleeting Encounters" had SUCH potential but Brook shot that one down right good .
Most humorous : Owen getting soaked in Christines "Lead me not ".
Best line : Angela - This still is'nt your true form .
Oberon - Now your only drivelling .
Jaden : Truly excellent choice of a RP character , werewolves are my absolute favourite monsters , I gave my character magic because I love monsters of that sort , but I did'nt want to limit myself , thats why I mainly stick to telepotation and metamorphisis .

**The screen comes on again. Bandit has just finished picking off a large group of cowboy clones that came up on horses and in pickup trucks to aid the main rustlers. As the heroes' convoy speeds onward, it soon outdistances the gray pickup and its three trailing redneck mutants. As they pull back onto IH-35, the pickup, Jammer's old high-school nemeses Travis and Ted inside, speeds up and tries to get alongside the Taurus. In the back of the truck, Ted pops up and drops a lit stick of dynamite into the car's open left rear window. It lands right in Doug's lap. He quickly throws it back into the pickup's bed, blowing up all the other dynamite, weapons, and ammo they had in there. Ted screams as the explosion vaporizes him, Travis leaping out the driver's side door as his pickup is destroyed in a blast of heat and flame. He runs right in front of the Onslaught, which Jammer has driven from the truck stop to help, and it is unable to stop (not that the driver wants it to!) before crushing Travis under its huge wheels. Jammer pulls alongside the Taurus and gives Doug a thumbs-up. Doug returns it, noting that the three mutants are flying away and they are now pursued by nothing. "Back to the truck stop, everyone," he says. "We'll collect the rest of the team and then head onwards to San Antonio." Doug then turns to make a CR post.**
Jackal: Catchy beginning to your saga. Chris is a good villain, though I wonder a lot about his past. Especially as he relates to Brooklyn. Your fic is a tad violent and full of swear words, but that's okay. I have no problems with that sort of stuff as long as it doesn't take precedence over character and plot.
(Warning: Episode Spoilers!)
Another nice job on this one, TGS Staff. I liked the gargoyle beasts thing, and Dulcinea is a nice new character. I like her style! :) BTW, is she supposed to be the woman in the background of that picture of the beasts in there? And if not, who is that? Good character development on Arthur.
Kevin was also well-charecterized in this episode. I loved his reaction to finding out about the clan, hope we get more character development from him soon. Gusto and Sunny (aren't those names from Gummi Bears?) were also good bit characters, I liked them as well. The dream angle was a good plot twist, and I can't help but wonder how that glowing hound prank wrapped it all up so convienently. :)
Keep up the good work, can't wait till the next one.
(End to Spoilers!)
BTW, I just read Equality again, and I noticed something about the girls Brooklyn meets at the mall. Are they supposed to be the Subway Gargoyle Girls from "The Mirror" in human form? If not, there sure is a resemblance!
That's all for now, later!
**The heroes drive on and arrive back at the Flying J truck stop. There, Boris, Shauna, Shap, and Elena have captured and hog-tied the two Borg morons (because they were in great pain, it was even easier than expected) and are interrogating them. "Where's your boss?" Elena asks Butt-Borg. "Uh, shut up, hot chick," the moron snaps back at her, laughing. "You will do me and then you will be ass-im-uh-lated." "Yeah," laughs Borgis. "Like, resistance is futile, or something." Elena looks at Doug and says, "Can we shoot these guys now, please?" Doug nods. "If you're sure they don't know anything." Suddenly the two Borg-morons vanish in a flash of bright light. In their place is a note from Thailog. Doug picks it up and reads it aloud. "I see your clone's moronic assistants did their work of keeping most of you busy well. They're back at my base now, where you can't touch them, as is their master. See you at the circus." Doug growls and crumbles the note in his hand as the screen goes blank. To be continued...**

Woah, triple post. I'm not doing it on purpose, new stuff just keeps coming up!
SJ- Happy B-DAY! And many more to ya...
Coyote-I have the Road Rover's Sonovovitch bit on tape. In fact, I have all 13 episodes. (You say 15? There can't possibly be two I never saw could there? Nah, I probably just haven't counted right...) But whats funny is, in the end credits of that episode, Sonovitch is displayed prominently and underlined. Anyone who wants to know what the heck I'm talking about can ask, I'll put up the lyrics.
Geez, I'm only on the Broadway pick... Long way to go before Xanatos... Oii...

Hmm, 11th again. This is the third week in a row. Wierd.
Interesting story this week, though I just really can't get into the Arthur stories... Give me Manhattan clan anyday.
Christi Hayden Smith- I am REALLY enjoying your stories. Very good stuff...
Hmm, though Tony Jay IS a good choice for Madoc's voice, there's someone else who works, and has been requested to do a garg voice already. Patrick Stewart. Think about it, he works very well as Madoc too...
And I gotta finish now if I want the 11th spot I claimed!

Just a quick note:
SPOILERS!!
I liked "The Yorkshire Adventure", though I found it to be somewhat predictable. Arthur's insomnia was a good touch. Anyone who has ever switched to a night schedule or been living with someone who has a night schedule does deal with this. Dulcinea's capoeira training was a nice touch too. It's good to see someone using something other than karate or kung-fu. All in all, a nice ep and a good solution to the apparent problem of the number of garg-beasts that are left.
END SPOILERS!
'Later all.

Eighth!!! (anywhere from 8th to 12th, probably.)
SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!**********
Great new addition to the story ... I am looking forward to seeing more of Dulcinea. BTW, must compliment you guys on the slick "Blazing Saddles" reference in the middle of Dulcinea's butt-kicking on the hunter ("Well, don't just stand there holding your hand in pain." I was LOL at that line!).

I was just thinking about Brooklyn and Sata's children, Graeme and Ariana. They both belong to two clans. The Ishimura clan and the Wyveren/Manhatten clan.

**Onscreen Kyryn looks over at Coyote. "A .22! Neah, you need something with more firepower for distance sniping. Like this!" Bandit hauls out an Enfield Mk4 Model 1 'T' .303 and starts knocking bad guys off horses and vehicles. Kyryn grins, keeps driving, and turns to post**
The rifle I mentioned above is Okami's favorite weapon as far as tactical shooting goes. I had to put in something serious - a .22 just doesn't cut it for sniping and/or knockdown power.
SJ> Happy Birthday!
Robby> Congrats on the nephew!
The poll: Everybody has already gotten all my favs.
Spike> ROTFL. Your favs for your own fics exactly matched what I was originally going to put up. Manure bombing <evil grin>
Coyote> <g> 'Til next time!
Well, I'm off to read the new ep.
**Kyryn turns and drives. Bandit growls at her as her weaving makes it hard to get good shots. The screen goes dark.**

Ack! wrong color below.
SEVARIUS JR-- Happy b-day. Make it a good one.
WHY-- Why did I post this ep now instead of early Monday morning? Well, I have a Chemistry midterm tomorrow and a Life Sciences Midterm Wednesday. I thought, just in case I don't have enough time to post it on time, might as well do it early. Suffice it to say, if the comment room got cleared, then the new ep must be up :)
Till next time...
