**Sevarius Jr. and Kari are dancing to "Be Prepared while the Voice Wars still rage on....***
Firestorm: I'm gonna have to disagree with you about SG1. I've only seen a few episodes, but I thought they were, on the whole, very good and entertaining. My opinion is that the MOVIE wasn't that great. It had plenty of potential, but for me, it never quite paid off.
Gargoyle toys: I agree with whomever said that McFarlane toys should have a go at them. I mean, Ice Storm Brooklyn??? What was Kenner thinking? Todd could do them justice, make them look realistic. Can you image how truly demonic Demona would look? And I'd pay the 10 bucks to buy them (geez....I remember when 5 bones for an action figure was considered highway robbery. Damn inflation).
Oh, and speaking of Todd McFarlane, you Oilers fans should rest easy. As I understand it, McFarlane's portion of the team is pretty tiny. As for new uniforms....well, I don't think they'll be too bad. They may have a few more spikes and chains than usual.....
X-Files: There was a discussion about this in the other CR. I'm afraid, after watching this week's episode, that they're getting away from their base material. I thought the show was funny...but c'mon, where's the seriousness? Where's Mulder's paranoia?
Oberon vs. Galactus? Hmm, I'm gonna have to bet on the big guy here. Oberon may be powerful, but Galactus eats worlds. WORLDS. He EATS them. Which makes me wonder, how the hell does the Fantastic Four kick his his sweet putooty so often?
Spike and Buffy's mom: My all-time favorite scene is the one where Spike shows up and asks for Buffy's help (to stop Angel? don't quite remember) and gets the third degree from her mom.
"Do I know you?"
"Sure. Remember? You hit me with an axe. 'Get away from my daughter!'"
Demona: Welcome! I'd love to see some of your artwork. As for hiring you, I'd have to know your prices first!
**SJ and Kari are just getting into the song when the Voice War hits them like a monsoon. The Rob Paulsen/Jeff Bennett/Frank Welker characters are tearing each other apart. Meanwhile, a group of ninjas, who had crashed the party just for kicks, decides to join the fray. They are followed by several dozen Hell's Angels, who hate ninjas in case you didn't know. Several members of the Fundamentalist Extreme, who believe that most of the Voices are evil demons, begin to brawl as well. Things really begin to heat up when a band of traveling Mexican midget acrobats are accidentally tossed in a sweep of Godzilla's (you choose which one) tail. Following them into the fight are: two samurai warriors, the complete starting lineup for the '87 Mets, some mobsters, some cops, about a dozen angry minotaurs, a horde of rabid badgers, a gang of angry soccer moms who have mistakenly confused the badgers for the latests toy craze the "Furby", and an entire firm of lawyers (all who look remarkably like Tom Cruise) who want to sue everyone for infringing a few thousand trademarks.
SJ has had enough.
"EXCUSE ME!!!!" he shouts. "I HAVE WAITED ALL WEEK LONG FOR THIS DANCE. NOW EITHER CUT THE CRAP, OR GET THE HELL AWAY FROM HERE!!!"
Reluctantly, the gang of fighters all move to another part of the mansion, grumbling under their breath the whole way.
"Whew," SJ says. "Now, where were we?"
He and Kari continue their dance....."

Stargate SG-1: No, the series DOES suck, IMHO! The movie was, by far, one of the better Sci-Fi movies made in this decade. The series does not do the movie justice. That flamer Apaufus <SP> is such a wimp! Ra's left pinkie is WAY cooler than Apaufus's entire army AND himself!
But, I will give the series SOME credit. A few of the episodes are decent, some actually good, but there are more bad episodes than good, IMHO. (LM and myself are fair fans of the show. Stargate is DEFINATELY one of LM's top ten favorite movies.)

Oh my... Remember that long time penpal named Margaret Demona May Stephans I mentioned a few days ago? It seems she's online, and in the CR ... You people don't have to bother telling her she'll go crazy in here, she already is...
And it isn't an idle boast on her part, her artwork is VERY, VERY good... If she ever gets it scanned in, she'll be giving Spike a run for her money...
Ah well, Hiya, and welcome to the CR...

Ravyn: Yes, I happened to catch the second half of "Ice Wars." Uh huh ... you must have caught the part of his program (he did Bee Gees highlights from "Saturday Night Fever" as his artistic program) when he jumped into the stands, took off his white jacket (revealing that he wasn't wearing a shirt under the vest) and apparently planted a passionate kiss on a female member of the audience. And people wonder why he's a fan favorite ... especially with the ladies (you should've seen the way he flirted with the judges during his long program at the Olympics this year when he did "The Three Musketeers!").
Must go now ... mother is feeding the dogs broccoli, and everyone with dogs knows that dogs with perpetual gas is bad, but dogs with perpetual gas that have been fed broccoli are *much* worse!

**A hologram of Mandi appears, sitting--no, wait, kneeling--in front of the computer in her dorm room, not her mother's 486. In the background one can hear some banging, gasping, and the occasional muttered curse.**
I'm back at school! *sigh* Weekend's over. My poor dad got me a computer cart for an early Christmas present, and, well...neither of us anticipated the understatement of the label "Some Assembly Required." Geez...
To Robby, Doug, and anyone else who has a ton of fics that they can't showcase on the GFW archive yet: SEND THEM IN! I won't be able to upload them tonight **glances over shoulder** for several reasons, but I can accept fics and am planning a major update tomorrow. **knock on wood**
Kitania--Maybe it was Doug. I don't know, I had so much trouble fighting my folks for online time this weekend that I couldn't keep track of anything.
**Glances over at the building in progress** Uh-oh, that's got to be all for now; Dad needs some help. I'm never going to hear the end of this one. :)

**RP!!**The screen lights up to reveal Coyote's party (Coyote, Jason, Buick and the Gearhead) running for Coyote's tank. The Gearhead is still *incredibly* hung over; it's taking all of Coyote and Jason's strength to keep him on his feet.**
Come on, the guys need backup! Everybody pile in!
<"God, he's almost as heavy as you are!">
HEY!
<"Whazzup ...?">
Come on, man, you've got to get in and start this bad boy up for us! There's a big battle brewing in the mansion, and they need our backup!
**The Gearhead mumbles something about "rubber vomit," falling into the belly of the tank and starting the ignition sequence. Coyote is once again at the Commander's Seat, with Buick behind the controls and Jason riding along the outside.**
All right, we're comin' guys! And while the tank's warming up, let's make some replies!
Thanksgiving: It was pretty cool on my end ... can't complain too much, after all the Lions won their fourth Thanksgiving game in as many years (beat the Steelers 19-16)! And that's something to celebrate, considering it brings us up to 5-7. The bummer ... Michigan State lost by 31 yesterday (YEESH!!).
Kitainia: You'll get your chance ...
Doug: You're welcome, and thanks.
JEB: I like the re-design of the site ... much easier to deal with, at least on my end. And hopefully sometime soon I'll be able to complete the fourth TGE entry I promised you (and send you the second half of INGO)!
Mandi: Wilek says it all. He's sent me no less than 13 revisions to his original recruits (I may be exaggerating, Wilek please correct me), mostly giving me information that he left out the first time. But I don't mind ... like I told him once, I *am* a patient Bando.
Wilek: The Edmonton Oilers are a professional ice hockey team (NHL) ... if TM came up with *those* uniforms, I would be very worried about the state of my favorite game (I already am concerned mainly because of those stupid rink and rule changes they've made for this season. Agree or disagree, Deuce, Kyryn?)
Fleur: Happy Birthday! And you won't believe it, but I've got another one! **the floor in the CR opens up to reveal another Chocolate Execution cake rising up out of the floor** Enjoy!
And just FYI (for future reference), the CR appears to be running on North American Eastern Standard Time.
Garg-related names in our RL's: I think I've already mentioned to some people here that I have a sister named Elisa (and up until last June her last name started with "M") ... but I don't think that I've mentioned my middle initial stands for Alexander ... or that in the course of my work I've passed by, on a couple occasions, an establishment called "Mazza Towing." I know, one extra Z, but still! Or have I not mentioned that I'm about an hour south of a city called Lexington ... scary ...
**RP!**
Are we ready to go?
<"All systems go, boss ... BELLLCH!!">
Ew, Gawd, open a window down there! Full speed ahead, Buick!
**The tank's treads spin on the steel floor of the Onslaught's trailer, zooming out of the trailer and toward the front door of the mansion. Buick, however, has no intention of stopping: he continues to floor it all the way through the front wall, bursting in on the fight between the partygoers and the Fundamentalist Extreme.**
FIRE!
**The tank fires a huge warning shot over the heads of the fighters.**
And the Good Lord and myself ... we gonna come down and kick yo' @$$!!
**The tank speeds into the thick of the battle as the screen winks off.**

**PARTY RP!**
**The battle rages on all around her as Ravyn searches frantically for Alex. She carefully avoids the Bennett/Paulsen/Welker brawl and cheers for Stone Cold as he wrestles Big Tommy. As she makes her way onto the patio by the swimming pool, Rav finds a still tipsy Alex hiding in the bushes. Quickly, Ravyn finds a towel and wraps it around him before turning to address the room.** **END RP FOR NOW**
Coyote & Doug> Oh, classified info, I see...well, I can't wait for WCC so I can find out what's up with Changeling! Man, I just know I'm gonna go crazy waiting for it...;)
Fleur> Whoa...those are some weird coincidences with names there! I really haven't had anything like that happen to me. I consider myself lucky that way...:) Hmm...a call from Vogel at Cyberbiotics? Weird...:)
Did anyone else watch the Ice Wars ice skating special that was on Friday night? I usually don't watch ice skating, but I was flipping channels and caught Phillippe Candeloro's routine..._very_ good routine...mmm...*drool* ;)
JEB> Love the new site! :)
Christine> Aww...that pic of young Jericho is _so_ adorable! :)
**MORE PARTY RP!**
**Ravyn grabs Alex and drags him into the mansion's kitchen. "Okay, pal," Rav starts, "We've gotta get you sobered up, and fast!" She rummages through some cupboards, eventually taking a glass and mixing together all the liquids she can find and then dumping in a ton of tabasco sauce. She gives the drink to Alex. He doesn't look too happy. "Are you sure this is gonna work?" Alex slurs. Ravyn grins. "Sure. I saw it in a movie." Alex pinches his nose, closes his eyes, and downs the drink. Ravyn ducks behind the counter, preparing for the worst...** **END RP** ;)

KITAINA - Sorry, but we won't be doing a "lust spell" episode, courtesy of Sekhmet or anybody else. Standards and Practices, you see. And we've one or two staff members who are very devoted to S&P and who would protest just such an episode, very loudly. You should have heard what they said about the "Hooters" scene in "Equality" :)

I'd just like to note one thing... as I said on the page, the Gargoyles OverPower idea was not originally mine, it's Lady Lianara Telraven's. I just grabbed it and ran with it, as you see. In case you didn't know. <:)

**BEGIN RP** The screen comes on again. As his followers approach the mansion, Pastor Paul notes the presence of Godzilla and company, as well as all the various mutants, fay, Halflings, and gargs. "They've summoned demons!!" he shouts. "But do not fear, everyone!! We have the power and arms of the Lord!! We are the Remnant of his followers, and we shall triumph against this present darkness that is here now!!" Several of the clones draw iron Quarryman hammers as they keep coming up the drive. Doug meanwhile gets everyone into a defense wall, while accepting an apology from Boris for attacking him earlier in the party RP. Stephanie, who by now is fully sobered up, draws her katana and gets back to back with Methos. "Really sorry I threw up on you a while ago," she says. The other Highlander immortal nods, keeping on his face a bemused grin. "Forgiven. I've had many such accidents myself." As the enemy draws closer, Kitainia takes up a sniping position in a nearby tree with the laser she borrowed from Demona and still hasn't returned. She then turns to face the CR.**RP END FOR NOW**
Hello, everyone! So good to be back. I had a great Thanksgiving. Good turkey and pie, good family time, and such good expressions Dad and Ray had when the Cowboys lost! :) Hope everyone else had an experience that was equally great.
Coyote: Looking forward to that wrap party, as well as the Gathering itself. Thanks again for posting the group listings. I like who I'm with. All the members of Clan Austin are also, IMO, in the right place. I too can hardly wait for the finished product. I hope that in my part, I get to use Steamer, my motorbike, and this laser gun against the person I borrowed it from. <grin>
Green Baron: Like Doug said, we're going to let you handle any direct famous political figure involvement in this RP saga. Since you're the one here who knows the most about that, the issue is probably safest in your hands.
Wilek: No, the strongman's name is no coincidence, as Doug said.
TMNT: I liked the turtles a lot, too. My favorite character was always the Rat King, who made a good villain, as someone who could be both comical and menacing. Shredder was a good villain, too, if a tad pathetic a lot of the time. [Favorite Shredder moments- (in the ep where the Turtles get to find out what a world without them is like) "A world where I don't rule? Take me home with you, please!" and (when he gets turned into a baby) "Krang, help me, I need to grow up!" "I've been trying to tell you that for years!"] Ninjara sounds like an excellent character, too bad she never guest-starred on the show.
Todd and Nicodemus: Thanks for all the info on Sekhmet. Her character is all the more interesting to me now that its history is known. I wonder if any evil Unseelie love goddesses like her are going to try casting lust spells on the Manhattan clan to create chaos. It would be a very risque ep, but (IMO) would have a great potential for comedy, character development, and plot.
Robby: You have all those fics and you haven't posetd them anywhere? That's terrible. Writers are nothing without an audience other than themselves, you know. Please let us all know the minute you have any one of them somewhere up on the Net. And send me copies if you like. In return, I'll give feedback and hopefully make you feel good.
Mandi: I too laughed at that scene in "Lover's Walk." But where did I ask you if you had seen the ep? I know it was a mistake on your part replying to me about it, I forgive you, just want to make sure I'm not making one as well. And if you had me mixed up with Doug, well, that's somewhat easy to do. After all, I have adopted many of his mannerisms, and vice versa, since we fell in love. :)
Traveler: I don't know if we'll need your help, Fundamentalist Extreme clones and gangbangers are cannon fodder for us. But those Borg at the back of the enemy could be a problem. You have any weapons to which they might not be able to assimilate themselves?
Christine: Well, however long it takes! I will be waiting for both your new fic and your new novel. If the novel of "Black Roses" is half as good as the fanfic story was, it will definitely get a reserved spot on my shelf. Finished CotSB on the bus by the way, great job!! Though I must tell you that because you had to break Cat and Arien up at the end, my tears stain the page. They also stain the keyboard as I think of it now (uh oh!). After all she did for him and vice versa, how could you do that to the best traditional fantasy couple I have yet to see? Oh well, I take comfort in the hope that somewhere in the trilogy's upcoming voulmes, their situation will change. Looking forward very eagerly to Book 2.
Dan: Very big welcome to the latest victim of our CR's siren song!! Muhahaha!!!!
Robby again: Aack!! Please don't do a Christmas shopping countdown. You'll only create agony in the people who haven't started theirs yet (like me).
Doug: You just had to taunt people with a line from an upcoming fic. Oh well, here's what this fan (and I think, also you) considers the best romantic line from your existing stories:
Laura in "Choices:" "You can take it (her necklace) from me when I die, no regrets. Just don't ever think I'm going to turn away from you. I can't do that, Gerard."
That one always makes my heart beat faster, especially after all the build-up you did for her and Agony's love. Oh well, you pick whatever line you like for the survey. You are the writer. I also like Changeling's line a whole lot.
Robby one more time: Don't worry. We will be moving this fight away from the mansion very soon. In Doug's next post, to be exact. We just want to give everyone at the party who wants to a chance to contribute before we have the bad guys chase us into the Fiesta Texas amusement park.
Looking forward to the new Pendragon ep tomorrow night, wonder if we'll see Morgana, Brianna, or Jennifer again. I liked all three of them last season, hope they also appear in this one sometime.
That's all for now. Bye!
**RP BEGINS AGAIN** The Ravens and their allies start to engage in full all-out battle with the Fundamentalist Extreme. Shap draws his holy avenger and gets into a fight with two men who have picked up their large crosses-on-rollers and are swinging them about. Meanwhile, Stone Cold confronts the would-be modern Samson Brother Big Tommy, who flexes his muscles and grins. "My faith gives me the power to smash flaming bricks with my bare hands," he boasts, to the wrestler's guffaw. "So I shall use it to smash you," Big Tommy goes on. "You're going down, pal," Stone Cold grins back, leaping into the air and coming down on top of his opponent in a hard body-slam. "So says Stone Cold!" They begin a wrestling bout while Kitainia takes aim at Brother Dave with her gun. As the screen fades out, the battle goes on. To be continued next RP.**RP ENDS, SO DOES THIS POST**

Wilek- Actually, I did not forget those voices of Frank Welker's, I purposely ommited them. I think I covered this earlier in the week, but the list of voices I have written down for Frank goes over 900 seperate characters, and even then, it is not a complete list. So, for the same reasons I didn't list every Rob Paulsen and Jeff Bennet voice I could, I didn't list a LOT of Frank's. As it is I still went a little overboard...
Um, I think Lex and Brooklyn go down on all fours for balance. Lex because he's already low to the ground and his web wings add weight that causes problems when standing up. (And actually for him, its more like down on all sixes...) And Brooklyn hits all fours fairly often because of that whopper beak of his. I think. That's what I've always assumed anyway...
And yes, I also believe Be Prepared IS one of the coolest songs ever, (Zira's Lulabye is also very good, but not quite as cool...) and it seems Kari agrees with us. The question is, is it appropriate for her first dance with SJ?
Just a reminder people! This is THE last day for the party! Finish off whatever you are doing, or take it somewhere else and continue it, or pretend a few of your future posts take place before the party ends. Whatever, it ENDS when the new story goes up! You'll have two hours, TOPS, after that happens!
Another reminder- ONLY 25 SHOPPING DAYS LEFT UNTIL CHRISTMAS! (Should I add that to the Timedancer countdown?)

Everyone please excuse this post's length. It's been a great Thanksgiving and I have so much to talk about now that I am finally back! I also will try not to post such long RP as I do at the end once again, but hey, I had to make up for two missed days.
**BEGIN RP** Doug and all the Black Ravens come downstairs dressed in Zylon (lighter and stronger than Kevlar) body armor under their usual clothes and carrying all their gear. Doug notices the just-resumed Godzilla battle and groans as New Godzilla summons Godzukie and eighty Baby Zillas to help him kill old Godzilla and deal with Anoth's possible wrath. Doug waves to Lathrop who conjures up Rodan, Mitsuki, Ghidra, MechaGodzilla, and several other Japanes movie monsters to help out the old Godzilla in his fight. As the party quickly becomes a war zone, with battles between the movie monsters, the wrestlers, and the actors' voice roles raging, the Ravens calmly walk over to the breakfast table and begin to eat some food. As he bites into a stack of waffles, Doug makes a post to the CR.**END RP FIRST HALF**
Well, I'm back from my Thanksgiving vacation. It was great. The food was as always excellent, so was the family time. Longhorns beat A&M at the game, so I got to gloat to just about all the rest of my family (who are Aggie fans), too. :) Best of all, I didn't return to find my apartment robbed. Knowing your home can still be a sanctuary feels so good. <grin>
I also managed to do research and answer my own Jerry Garcia question, so nobody needed to worry about that. Glad nobody did. Now on to replies.
Kyryn: Okay, I assume you and Bandit will be leaving our party to track down these gremlins. We shall miss you, but that is a valuable enterprise to the saving of the world. So good luck. They do sound like good nuisance bad guys.
Mandi: Glad you saw it. I loved the scene with Spike and Buffy's mom. Who would have thought they'd become friends? Oh, btw, I was the only one who asked you if you had seen the ep. Kitainia did not, I wonder why you told her you saw it in one of your posts. Oh well, it was probably just a small mistake. I'll send you some fics later, I'm going to bed after finishing this and tomorrow big Thanksgiving weekend homework assignments are going to eat up all my time. Please hold your questions till then and keep them to e-mail from now on so I don't give too much away.
Robby: Looks like your party is going well, and getting violent. Of course, it is about to get even more so. Thanks for the info on who Ninjara was.
Ravyn: Glad you're coming along with us. Better get Alex sobered up fast if he's coming, the action will soon begin. As for Graeme and Changeling, like Coyote said, I can't reveal much. Let's just say there's a certain very important difference in futures for the Graeme of his universe and the Graeme in mine as far as Changeling goes and leave it at that. You and everyone else can find out the story behind my universe's Graeme and his future with Changeling in my (one scene from completion) next fic!
Jaden and Coyote: So glad you two are also coming along.
Here are my answers to the latest poll:
Theme-setting: (from "To Be Immortal")
"Don't worry, David," said Fox. "I forgive you for the momentary lapse in judgement."
"Thank you," said Xanatos. "Now my only question is, can I forgive myself?"
Self-contradictory: (from "After the Flood.")
Agony talking about what's bugging him- "You know what, Laura James. The gargoyles, Silvan's planning to exterminate the gargoyles. I have a feeling Duval's planning to do something about it. I don't know if I should help him or not."
Most irrational: (from "The Fall of Nightstone.")
Seth to Goliath after the former has just gunned down Wolf- "Sorry, big guy. He got in my way. You want to get in my way, too?"
Romantic: (from "Through the Ages.")
Changeling: "The longer and more difficult the hunt and chase, the greater the prize!" (Wondering about the context? You'll see!!)
Significant plot-wise: (from "One Psycho to Another")
"Yes," Demona interrupted him, feeling that confessing now might be her one chance to stop the crowd from rotating their reactions to her one-hundred and eighty degrees. "I was that gargoyle once, but I am no longer. That is why they let me go, let me return to my protectorate, to you. I once wanted to destroy all your kind, I confess, but now I do no longer. I am not a monster now, nor were the other gargoyles in this city ever. The sooner you humans understand that, the better it will be for us all."
Most out-of-character: (from "Webs and Stone")
Goliath to Spidey and Black Cat- "You are both welcome here anytime," he said. "You are part of our clan." (Many have pointed out to me that those two would not be accepted as clan after only one night of helping the gargs, and they convinced me to agree. I'm much better at writing the characters now.)
Enigmatic: (from "Clash of the New Olympians")
Mackovic talking about the Illuminati's goals- "As long as we achieve our purpose and at the same time run the world well, I am happy."
Stephen RS: I too adore your lying, cheating, and stealing line. I will quote it at the next wedding I attend.
Wilek: Maybe Renard did figure out she was Titania and maybe not. One question I have is how he found out about Oberon's attack in "The Gathering." Greg didn't reveal it, so we can only speculate. I have the sneaking suspicion that it was Anastasia/Titania who gave Renard the alert.
Traveler: Come with us if you like, we're going to leave the party real soon.
Todd Jensen: Thanks for the hope. I share it. I'll be glad to send you a copy if the archive's not up in time. As I said before, this one is only a scene away from being done. I'm so happy I've gotten you interested in my work, bwa ha ha ha!! And you're right about writing stories of immortals, they can be terrific fun!
Lawrence: Yep, and Quinn should also be giving birth to George's kid if she hasn't already. Hope these threads are soon resolved.
Coyote again: Thanks for posting who will be in what group. Looks like all the characters Kitainia and I gave you are in the proper place. Looking forward to the main event, and of course your next fic.
Welcome Dan!! Yes, you will go mad here. I already have, and so did my girlfriend once I got her to come in. Even more than we already were. I hope you enjoy the experience as much as we. :)
Army of Darkness: Love that movie. My favorite part in there is when the undead girl says "You found me beautiful once" and Ash goes "Honey, you got REAL ugly." And of course, "Good? Bad? <shrug> I'm the guy with the gun." Ha!! At the risk of pseudo-typecasting, if my fanfic ever got made into actual episodes, Bruce Campbell could do the voice of Seth.
People with Similar Names to Gargoyles Characters': There's a Gabby Vogel whose boyfriend is named Owen in my psychology class. I've also met a Dr. Sato, a Donald Xavier, and a Robin Carter in my life.
JEB: Nice new site. I like what you're doing with the overpower card set. Everybody should definitely check it all out!
Okay, that's all for now. I'll of course leave everyone with some more RP!
**RP BEGINS AGAIN** Outside the mansion, a large crowd of Fundamentalist Extreme people and their cloned followers forms up after coming out of the mansion across the street. Under Pastor Paul and Brother Roy's direction, it begins chanting off a lot of its usual rhetoric, basically damning everyone involved in the party for their "mortal sins" of licentiousness, drinking alcohol, dancing, playing strip poker, and generally having a good time. It soon degenerates into blatant death threats towards all inside, simply because they haven't been behaving in the same redundant, boring and hateful way as the Fundamentalist Extreme. Having finished their breakfasts, the Ravens notice the gang of jerks and wonder if they should do something. Doug sends out Shap to stall the protesters while the rest assemble some help to scare them off. The large black paladin nods and heads outside.
Once in front of the crowd, the FEs immediately begin saying that as representatives of "God's judgement and will," they will now discipline "his sinning children." Shap holds up his hand and says, "Whoa, people. Judge not lest ye be judged, remember. Let him who has no sin cast the first stone." "We'll make sure you sin no more, corrupted fool! Here's your wages in death!" shouts back Brother Cliff, who of course was expecting Shap to say the above. As he cocks back his arm to throw a rock, Shap pulls out his Bible. "I said whoa, guys," he snaps. "I've read this thing, too. Only with an open mind. I know Jesus doesn't think partying and drinking are sins. Otherwise, why would he make wine his blood and turn water into wine to let the Cana wedding party go on?" This causes the Fundamentalist Extreme crowd to all stop dead and pull out their own Bibles, looking for the parts Shap mentioned, which they in their biased attitudes either forgot or did not bother to read. Asil takes that moment to land in front of them, while Guod leads the gang bangers and army of Borgified Highland citizens to form ranks at the group's back.
"What are you fools doing?" Asil snaps at Pastor Paul. "We're looking up a Biblical story we didn't know!" he replies, provoking a growl from Asil. "You don't need to be doing that!" Kitainia's evil clone roars, adopting a style of rhetoric similar to Pastor John's disguised-devil wife. "I'm an angel and you're God's true followers, remember? Both you and I know what your God wants!! Destroy these sinners!! NOW!!!" Suddenly frightened, Pastor Paul and all his followers quickly put away their Bibles and draw clubs and rocks. Some also pull out guns and grenades. "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!!" chuckles the militant Brother Dave. "Respect people's lives or we'll kill you!!" adds the blantantly inconsistent speaker Sister Suzanne. They then all charge the mansion, chanting promises of punishment and death. Shap turns and runs away from them, joining up with Doug and the others who have come out of the mansion to defend. This includes all the Ravens, the now-calmed old Godzilla and his friends (they killed the new Godzilla and all his spawn), Methos and the McLeods, Stone Cold Steve Austin (the only wrestler who's still conscious and able to fight), and whoever else wants to join in. As the screen goes blank, the battle begins. To be continued next time!**END RP AND THIS POST**

**RP**
[Wilek looks around at the various fights that have broken out and makes a phone call. After a few minutes, Tony Jay's characters--much fewer than the other actors', but quite powerful!--come in and attempt to stop all the fighting between the other characters, or at least get them to stop chasing Fleur.]
**PAUSE RP**
Robby> "Be Prepared" is one of the kewlest songs EVER. And you forgot a few FW voices, like Ray Stantz of the Ghostbusters and Helios of the New Olympians. Understandable mistake, given all he's done...
Mandi> <<Has anyone else who's submitted WCC characters suddenly had ideas that would contradict what you've told Coyote already?>> Heh...ask Coyote. :}
Deuce> If the Oilers wore something like *that*, I'd probably start watching whatever sport they play, even though I don't like sports. re Babe> My condolences.
McFarlane Toys> I have some of their Manga Spawn figures and I find them extremely kewl. I wish that company had made the Gargs figures. After that debacle, I lost a lot of respect for Kenner.
Fleur> It's not a Gargs name, but someone named James Kirk once spoke at a school that a friend of mine used to attend. He didn't look or sound a thing like Bill Shatner though. The creepy thing about all this is that, under some quantum mechanics theories, every fictional universe ever created is actually a real alternate universe. That means that somewhere, Gargoyles is reality, and reality is Gargs. Eep.
Has anyone noticed that Brook and Lex seem to perch on all fours a lot more than the others do? I wonder why.
**RESUME RP**
[Wilek goes over to his Halfling friend Anoth and has a whispered discussion with him. Anoth nods, floats up to the eye level of the battling Godzillas, and telepathically tells them to either call a truce or take the fight elsewhere. The two lizards stalk off. "Blast it," Q grumps, "I had a bet going with Titania and a couple of fellows named Kosh as to who would win. Oh well, perhaps I'll do better on the Oberon/Galactus fight." Wilek then remembers that this mansion has an incredible pool and goes upstairs to change into some swimwear. He comes back downstairs and enters the pool room, only to find that Jake, Teri, Goliath, Elisa, and a few other swimmers are standing around--out of the pool--with very confused expressions. W: "Teri, I thought you were chasing Alex." T: "He got away." W: "Oh. Uh, what's up?" Elisa: "See for yourself." Wilek dives in...]

A LONG BIT OF PARTY RP** (Kari sighs, and absently watches the war. She has no interest in how it turns out, she was allowed to read the script three weeks ago. She knows what's in store tomarrow for the closing ceremonies, and really doesn't care. She's just feeling rather lonely. Then, she hears a voice...
"Would you care to dance?" She turns to see Sevarius Junior, and she readily accepts. They walk down to the dance floor, which is somewhat removed from the war. "Hmm, what music to play?" Kari wonders.
"Well, there's always that Beuty and the Beast bit..."
"Naaah. That really isn't apropriate, neither description fits either of us. Lets see... Jim has a complete collection of every Disney song ever done..." Kari looks among the CD's and cassettes, trying to find the right one. SJ suggests, "We could always play the Timewarp... My dad tought me the steps to that when..."
"Nuh uh. Kari shakes her head. I've found what I was looking for." She hits the PLAY button, and it isn't one of Disneys romance songs at all. SJ is a bit taken aback as "Be Prepared" begins to play...) END PARTY RP FOR NOW.**
SJ-Follow up on that if you will... Kari is interested somewhat in the scietific field...
Buit as far as Marvel doing a version of COIE, they did, sorta. A while back they had a whole Onslaught thing, and then had a "Heroes Reborn" thing, where they basically started part of their universe over from scratch. However, sinc eHeroes Reborn has now been wiped out, I suppose it doesn't really count...
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 38 AND 39 DAYS UNTIL TIMEDANCER SEASON 2!
SOROW- Comic store backstocks are a good idea, but I would suggest calling the stores first, before you travel around town trying to find the issues you're missing. It will save you a LOT of time and gas...
On the X-FIles figures, the McFarlane versions are pretty good, but anyone notice there isn't a Cancer Man figure? It's because of the... Accessories he would have to be packaged with. (In other words, a pack of cigarettes.)
Fluer- HAPPY B-DAY!
Actually, I 've had more than an encounter with someone in the garg. universe, I've been writing her as a penpal for years! Her ACTUAL name is Margaret Demona May Stephans, (REALLY, its her real name!) and she's a red head... She's a lot nicer than the gargoyle Demona tho...
JEB- The overpower set looks promising. When you do Demona, be sure to give her a card labeled, "GIANT LASER GUN" or something to that extent... And that's quite a sizeable archive you've got!
Gee, another fairly slow commenting day... I wonder whats going to happen when the Gathering comes around? Hmm...
Also, excuse the long RP posts, but this is the next to last time I'm doing them for a while, so...
PARTY RP CONTINUES**(After Fleur has been dealt with, all the voices of Rob Raulsen and Jeff Bennet turn to look at the new group of attackers, and their expressions go into shock when they realize who they are dealing with. The legend, Frank Welker himself has had his personas join the fray, and he has done more voices than both of them combined.
Bronx,Boudicca,Cagney,Raptor(the bird in Hunter's Moon), the Bear(Eye Of The Storm), Kiron(The New Olympians), Stone of Destiny (Pendragon), Cop #1, Computer Voice Analyst (Ransom),Baby Alexander ,Crom-Cruach(Banshee from The Hound Of Ulster, but not the Sheena Easton form!), Gilgamesh,Banquo, Big Daddy(Loch Ness) and various sound effects from Gargoyles, Freddie from Scooby Doo, Santa's Little Helper from the Simpsons, Sheldon, Bo, and Booker from Garfield and Friends, Megatron, Soundwave, Rumble, Frenzy, Wheelie, and Ravage from Transformers, Bandit, Jerimiah Surd, and a bunch of others from the Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, voiced from Dexterıs Laboratory, Fall-Apart Rabbit and Toots from Bonkers, Furball, Calamity, Gogo Dodo, and Little Beeper from Tiny Toons, Flavio the hip hippo, Ralph the Guard, Buttons, Thaddeus Plotz, Chicken Boo, and a bunch of others from Animaniacs, The Chameleon from Mighty Ducks, Abu the monkey from Aladdin, Waffles and Chainsaw from Goof Troop, Muzzle from Road Rovers, a few muppet babies, Ducktales characters, apparently some Superfriends, a whole bunch of others and just about every animated animal character there is. And then some that arenıt, including Tokka and Rahzar from Ninja Turtles 2! One of the voices turns toward the person writing this all down, and scream really loudly. Oh yes, he also did Spockıs screaming in Star Trek 3. Go figure.
Mare looks at the scene in worry, for she has not read the script, and doesn't know if this is going to work. Is she too late? Will even the hideous weapon she has revived work? She looks on as the creature begins making a horrible noise sure to stop the three way war. ³ICE ICE BABY!² Some cheezy music starts playing in the background, and some people faint with fright. Vanilla Ice had been brought back. (TO BE CONCLUDED!)

**RP**
Scene: The party at Jim's mansion is still going strong. Fleur, happily in the realm between sober and drunk, enters the main room, grinning but looking around as if for somebody. She spots Guad and walks over to him.
"Hey Guad, you seen Doug or Kitainia? I wanted to tell them I'm having way too much fun to go home now."
"They're upstairs, getting some sleep, along with the rest of their team," Guad answers around his toothpick.
"Okay. I'll just leave a note on their door, just in case I don't see them before they leave. Oh, by the way Guad, be careful outside. Some gargoyles just learnt the hard way that they just aren't built for jumping castles. Could be a while before it comes back down."
As Fleur walks upstairs to leave her note, she turns to the CR to make a few comments.
*END RP...FOR NOW!**
Hi All!! To all those in America, happy thanksgiving. (we don't have it in Australia, but heck, I'm all for something that combines families and large amounts of food. It makes life so...interesting, don't you think? <evil grin>)
Oh, guess what! The pound called a couple of hours after I posted last time, and told me they'd found my brain chasing cars and if I wanted it back, I better get down there. So my brain is back where it rightfully belongs, and we've come to an agreement - I will get more than three hours sleep every night, and it won't dissappear again.
X-Files> WAHHHHH!!!! Stop torturing me! Please! The new episodes don't start for me until next year, and videos are only just keeping me going. Skully kissed... SKINNER?!?! Somebody point that girl in the right direction, namely, the tall guy _with_ hair, initials F.M.
Hey, has anyone here ever met somebody who has the same or similar name as somebody from Gargoyles? I know a Robert Bluestone, an Elisa Marshall, and on Friday at work I had a phone call from a Peter Vogel. You know what the scarey thing was? He worked for a company called CB technologies. <hums theme from Twilight zone> The whole time, I had to bite back the urge to ask him if CB stood for CyberBiotics.
Spike> Just out of curiosity, in 'Disobedience' did you put the Terry Pratchett reference in before or after we started talking about him in the CR? My favourite TP scene was in 'Small Gods' with Om and the eagle. (and I'll leave it at that for the men in the CR) I just love the way he described that scene so your imagination filled in all the blanks.
Dan> Hello! Buckle up, wave your sanity goodbye, and hang on tight - it's going to be a bumpy ride!!!
Okay, gotta go now, but before I do...it's my Birthday on Monday. (that's tommorrow for me, but with the international date line and everything, I have no idea when that is in CR time)
TTFN!
*RP BEGINS AGAIN**
Coming back down the stairs after sticking the note to the door, Fleur hears the shouts and screams and the various animal noises of the Voice War. Bolting outside, she notices a fire hose and starts grinning again.
"You know, a party just isn't a party without a water fight"
The blast of the water knocks most of the combatants off their feet, and nearly sends Fleur flying. After several minutes, Brooklyn manages to get to the main water valve and turns it off. The water slows down then stops completely. Fleur looks down at the hose, then back up at the people/gargoyles/everything else, who have forgotten about their war, and are now focussed on her.
"I probably should have thought this out a little more."
Fleur bolts off, with everyone else in hot pursuit.

Ravyn: Let's just put it this way ... Doug gave me some rather sensitive background information about Changeling, which I am not at liberty to discuss in a public forum yet. In return, I gave him some rather sensitive information which will be covered in future fics, which I am also not at liberty to discuss right now. When the time is right (read: when WCC comes out, and maybe even before), the connection will be revealed. ;) Sorry ...
Deuce: Funny you should mention the McFarlane X-Files figures ... I just bought the Scully and Mulder (suited versions) figures for my mother for Christmas (she's a doll collector and an X-Phile), to go with the X-Files Barbie and Ken set ... so she has a set of fairly accurate faces (the action figs) to go with the totally inaccurate ones (the Barbie dolls)! But boy did that get pricey ... I wound up shelling out about $90 for everything!

"That's nothing. You should see what Dru did to this party clown last week. She ripped off his--"
Their conversation is cut short as the Classic Godzilla inadvertently crushes Spike beneath his feet. SJ is a little upset.
"Hey, G-money! Watch where yur going, big guy!" Godzilla just shrugs waddles away.*******
Deuce: Todd McFarlane and the folks at McFarlane Toys make some cool stuff. I'm a fan of their Movie Monsters line and, of course, all their KISS figures.
Crisis: I loved that old series! Finally, DC got it's act together and killed off all the crappy heros and earths. Plus they actually used the word "continuity." Now if only Marvel could do the same thing to clean up it's cluttered X-men books....
Wilek: Yes, Army of Darkness was what made me a Bruce Campbell fan initially. That's a fun movie, isn't it? And all the quotables! Hail to the king, baby.
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, I know I did. I'll be working these pounds off for days!

And now for something entirely unrelated: I was at the store today looking for a Christmas present for my little brother (I got him some little Hot Wheels motorbikes), when suddenly I saw them: the X-Files movie toys! They were hilarious! They came in two-figure packs, and I saw all the figures. They included:
Mulder in a suit (w/ "infected" human in a tank)
Scully in a suit (w/ similar human)
"Infected" firemen (with one of those weird cryo-stretchers)
Mulder in arctic gear (w/ alien)
Scully, similarly clad (w/ alien)
Alien (w/ Og the unfortunate caveman)
The Scully and Mulder (S&M?) dolls looked very little like their human counterparts, the aliens looked ridiculous (although we never got a good look at them in the movie), and the "infected" humans looked disgusting. Overall, very cool. (They were made by McFarlane toys).
Speaking of Todd McFarlane, he's a part owner of the Edmonton Oilers, and I hear he'll be designing their new uniforms... that's gonna look weird.

Another general comment to the room: Has anyone else who's submitted WCC characters suddenly had ideas that would contradict what you've told Coyote already? (Don't panic, CTB...I'm not going to do that.) Just wondering, because it's driving me nuts on my end rewriting "The Sky's the Limit."
Random thought for the day: For those who liked Des'ree's "You Gotta Be" single from way back in '95, she put out a new album a few months ago, "Supernatural." If you like her stuff, BUY THIS ALBUM! I've been torturing my floor section playing "Time" over and over again. :)

Coyote--You're not going to want to hear this, but I just checked the WCC ranks, and, uh...you forgot one of my characters. Is Razor going to survive long enough to get put into a team?? Aside from that, thanks for putting Maia and Drew on the same team. :)
Deuce--I second that. Stargate SG-1 is far superior to the film that spawned it, IMHO.
NOTICE--If you want to send a fic to be hosted on my Simplenet account, feel free to start sending them in.

Hi there, Bobby! If you're around, I'll be logging back into the CR around noon Saturday. Maybe we can finally manage that online chat time. :-)
Re: Disobedience... Great job with the story. I'm actually sort of surprised that it took this long for Hudson to suggest Jeffery Robbins as a trainer for Nudnik to Graeme. I would've thought that getting young garbeasts trained quickly would've been even more of a priority back in the Dark Ages, when there was even more likelihood of the clan losing youngsters due to some sort of improper behavior getting them into deadly situations.
Looking forward to the next episodes, guys & gals! Keep up the good work.

SOROW: Best guess, go to your local comic shop and check their back-issue boxes and bins; usually you can find them if they categorize the comics by company (in which case, it's usually under Marvel "G."). Just be careful about getting excited if you see something that says "gargoyle" on it searching that box: Marvel also put out a four-issue mini in the mid-'80s called "The Gargoyle;" it's an entirely different (and *BAAAAD*) concept which is their own character.
I've also heard that Mile High Comics also has back issues, and they do a lot of business on the Web; however, I've searched their website until my eyes blistered and I didn't find a single )(&$# issue.

Wow, a whopping total of 21 posts Friday, and I provided three of them. Whats the deal? Do some of the other CR visitors have lives or something?
BETWEEN 39 AND 40 DAYS UNTIL TIMEDANCER SEASON 2!!!
Firestorm- Don't worry any about Metroid 64, for some reason, Nintendo hasn't even thrown that one onto the drawing board yet. And while Zelda 64, along with Starfox 64 are almost tempting enough to make me get an N64, my neighbor has one, so I don't have much to worry about...
Coyote- COIE... Its a good story, I have all the original issues. But I will probably be getting the collected edition for Christmas, just for the cover alone. The comic store I frequent just got an actual size reprint... Drool city...
Wilek- Crisis on Infinite Earths was... Wait, Coyote already covered that very well... Um...
Tony Jay also did the voice of Megabyte on Reboot.
Also, I told everyone to try and AVOID killing Kenny the CR Lawyer during the party, he's a guest after all. Thankfully, everone has obliged so far. And PLEASE people, don't kill him yet. Not until the party is over! He's still a guest until then!
**Once again, a moment of silence for Flip Wilson, the man who gave us the saying, "The devil made me do it!"**
PARTY RP RESUMES** ("Blast! Jim's been distracted again!" Mare is frantic, she realises the danger involved here. "Kari, any ideas? Kari?" Mare looks around to see that Kari is nowhere to be seen. She's probably off brooding somewhere, upset that nobody likeable asked her to dance. (Hint hint SJ) Mare's attention is fully fixated on the war. "There's only one thing left I can think of. I hoped I would never see this horrible thing unleashed again in my lifetime, but I have no choice. It is the lesser of two evils. I think..." Mare comments, as she goes into the basement of Jim's mansion, and finds the crate surrounded by fifty or so locks and labeled, "Do not open until X-Mas 2050." She grits her teeth, opens the box, and forces herself not to look at the horror she has unleashed...) To be continued...

Wilek: "Crisis on Infinite Earths" was a DC Comics maxi-series they put out in 1985-86 in order to clean up their universe's continuity. Prior to "Crisis," the DC Universe was made up of multiple dimensions and multiple Earths. For example, "Earth-Prime" was the readers' Earth. "Earth-1" was the current DC heroes. "Earth-2" was the one which had the heroes from the WWII era. There was also an Earth where the roles of the heroes and villains was reversed; an Earth where there was only one superhero; and my personal favorite, "Earth-C," the one populated by anthropomorphic animals (they put out one comic about Earth-C called "Captain Carrot and his Amazing Zoo Crew," which was my personal favorite when I was ... oh, about eight years old.). Anyway, the story involved a cosmic villain from the anti-matter universe (the Anti-Monitor) who discovers he can gain more power by combining universes, thereby destroying them both and absorbing their combined power ... and began doing so with all of DC's Earths. The heroes (*and* villains) from the multiple Earths band together to fight the Anti-Monitor. Among the significant events of the series was the death of the Flash (the Barry Allen Flash) and Supergirl (Kara, the original one who was just recently resurrected in the WB's series).
Anyway, this huge story is one that I will be studying in an attempt to keep WCC straight, as it involves a similar concept (characters from multiple universes banding together in one to fight a common threat). Another one I might study is "Zero Hour," which is another DC continuity cleanup miniseries, this one involving its timeline. And the biggest gimmick about the hardcover "Crisis" edition is the painted cover (a combined work by Alex Ross and George Perez; it contains 563 characters and the original is ten square feet.).
And Teri's weapon wouldn't happen to be that multiple-weapon thing that Zorg sold to those camel-aliens in "TFE" is it? (Just wondering; TFE is one of my favorite movies.)

**RP** [At the party, a now barely-clothed Alex Wonder is streaking the party. Wilek: "Oh, shoot. Can somebody do something about him?!" Teri goes out to the landing craft, gets a triad cannon, and pursues Alex with it. For those of you who don't know, a triad cannon is Miriam's organization's version of that one very kewl weapon from The Fifth Element.] **END RP**

"Oh, you can't help that. We're *all* mad here. I'm mad, you're mad..."

SJ> I saw "Army Of Darkness" tonight, and I think I can see why you're such a fan of that guy. You've got to respect someone who has the brass cojones (sp?) to cut off his own hand with a chainsaw and use said chainsaw as a prosthetic. And the mirror scene gave Dark Mage Wilek an idea for later...

**RP** [W: "Jim, didn't you say that we'd be killing the Lawyer at the end of this?" Jim nods. W: "Here's something nice to play during that." Wilek puts the 'Chef Aid' South Park soundtrack CD in the CD player and switches it to the rap song "My Homie Kenny Gonna Die Tonight". W: "Normally, I can't stand rap, but I like this one." That's when Anoth, who had been playing Vulcan chess with Kosh (and beating him at it!), comes in. Anoth: "Wilek, do you remember those vampire eagles your clone gave you?" Wilek nods. A: "They're in some kind of trouble in the movie screening room. Apparently two of the guests--one Sonia Belmont and someone named Buffy, I believe--seem to consider them some kind of threat." W: "Uh oh..."] **RP ENDS**

**RP!**The screen lights up to reveal Coyote opening the door of his guest room in Jim's mansion. Just as he does, Alex Wonder speeds by in the kilt, prompting Buick to run after Alex.**
Now Buick, don't get that kilt away from him! Yeesh ... **turns to screen** Well, I thought it would've calmed down overnight, but I guess it hasn't yet. Oh well. Anyway, while I'm getting my "morning coffee" **holds up a bottle of Pepsi**, let's get some replies in.
Thanksgiving: Hope everybody had a good one!
Spike: Kewl, another Avery story just in time for Christmas! YESS!! **composes self.** Sorry.
MAui: Hey there, nice to see ya! Have you checked your party yet? Click my name to do so. **PLEASE NOTE: Those who have checked it already, it's changed since last night because of some corrections (including correcting the credit for one character's creator (OOPS!)).
Fire Storm: Good to hear about the truce.
Christine: Hmm, I'll have to check out "Black Roses."
Ravyn: Team Bravo will rock in more ways than one ... ask Doug about why Changeling will feel slightly threatened on Team Bravo. Fun will be had by all.
Robby: And they called me *MAAAD* at the University! BWAH-HAH-HAH-HAH!!
**composes self**
Sorry once again. But yeah, I've received many many many e-mails that say I'm either a genius, a fool, or a madman for taking on this project *willingly.* But I plan on getting a lot of guidance on the project ... part of my research materials for WCC will include every well-done major comics crossover I can get my hands on. (Let's put it this way: As part of my Christmas list, I already asked my mother for the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" hardbound that's coming out this coming week).
Heather: Like the site. I *Really* like the site. And I'm familiar with Morpher: it's a fun program, isn't it? I haven't had the pleasure of using it myself, but I've heard the capabilities and seen some of the things it does. Now I wish I had a machine that could run it! :P
**RP!**Coyote pulls his eyes away from Buick's merry chase to see Jason walking up to him.**
<"Friend of yours?">
Don't know him personally ... but he *is* Ravyn's companion. Speaking of which, are we set to roll later today?
<"All set. We've moved all of her necessary equipment to the tank.">
Good. Because if I recall right from last night, there was a pretty big buildup across the way, and we may see some action before too long today. Is the Gearhead up yet?
<"He's up, but he's really hung over.">
I see ... let's go snap him out of it.
**Coyote and Jason walk down the hallway toward the room holding the Gearhead, planning to do something to speed along his recovery from the booze. Buick runs after them, with a piece of plaid fabric in his mouth.**
Oh no, BUICK!!

Heather- Coll stuff...
Dan- HI! Don't worry too much, we usually only talk about gargoyles the first couple days a week when a story goes up. After that, it breaks up into just about anything. Right now, and until Sunday, there's a big party going on, as you can see if you check the older posts. You can still attend, and have fun!
By the by, stay around here too long, and you'll go crazy. It started happening to me last week, and the people who have been here longer than I have BEEN crazy... But you'll like it here, I promise!

Thanks you guys.
Well I made the covers by one Paint Shop Pro 5.01 and the morphing program called Morpher.
It's pretty easy.
And my favorite god-like being , Q is in it. With some surprises in it. And forthe people that know Star Trek Q comes in right before the Voyager ep "Q and the Grey" .
How did I make the Q and the Star Trek universe real ? Well.... in the Animorphs books there are aliens called the Ellimist. They are like the Q but they say that they don't interfer(sp) with primitive species. But the Ellimist saw us humans make up a powerful race of god-like beings so they made the Q Continuum and by that the "Star Trek universe" that's in another universe.
And they took all of the actors who played the Q's on Star Trek there by.... we have my man , John De Lancie as Q. For real.
So everything from the last encounter with the Q. From the episode from Voyager "Deathwish" is real. But Q and his niece ( that I made up ) went to the Earth in the Animorphs universe to help them fight the Yeerks.
And my others books I'm making covers are....
#4 : The Prophets - Cassie morphing a ferret
#5 : The Return - Marco morphing a white tiger
#6 : The Exile - Ax morphing into Jake
Well, The Frontier is still be writeen but #1 and #2 . The Continuum and The Ally are my favorite so far. Enjoy !

PARTY RP**(Jim looks a little upset, Elton John's voice isn't stopping the war. In a hurry, he runs around and finds all the voices that could possibly stop the war. Gilbert Gotfried, Sean Connery, James Earl Jones and Urkel all try, and none of them are enough. "No good, we need someone everybody hates to make them stop..." And then, Jim spots an unnivited guest... "That's perfect...") ** END PARTY RP
Hmm, not much to talk about today, since everone was busy with Thanksgiving...
40 OR 41 DAYS UNTIL TIMEDANCER SEASON 2, DEPENDING ON HOW YOU COUNT.
Just a reminder people- The party goes until Sunday, and closing ceremonies will be Monday. So get in your partying over the next three days while you can...
Wilek- I don't think Tony Jay has done that many animated voices, because he's only really got his natural voice, and there's only a certain character type he can do. Off the top of my head, he also did Virgil the chicken in Mighty Max. (Fowl actually.)
Spike- New Avery story coming? Cool... Well, I know something that everyone will be reading next month...
PARTY RP CONTINUES** ("Hey guys! Look over there! Barney!" The war between the Rob Paulsen and Jeff Bennet personalities moves in that direction. Purple stuffing soon starts flying. Unfortunatley, since the voices have finally been able to hurt something, (Puck cast a spell earlier to keep them from hurting each other) their fighting continues. Shame really, they were getting tired and starting to realise no one was going to get hurt...) To be continued...

[At the party, Jake hears all the commotion coming from the kitchen and checks to see what's up. For several minutes the commotion continues...then stops, to be replaced by chomping and slurping, then a window-shattering belch. A now contented-looking Jake staggers out of the kitchen. Wilek wonders what that was all about, goes into the kitchen, and sees the skeleton of a 15-foot turkey. W: "WTF?!" Jake: "Hey a guy's gotta eat you know. Besides, when you're built like this you need a lot of food. I have a pretty high metabolism." For those of you who don't know, Jake's probably strong enough to beat Goliath in a fight.

"Umm...No."

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY!
Check this out: here at the ol' Sevarius homestead we're having: turkey, corn on the cob, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, biscuits, green beans, cranberry sauce, cornbread, and apple and pumpkin pie. I plan to pack on at least 4 or 5 pounds before the weekend!
I was afraid that I'd have to go out of town, but I managed to get everybody here at my place for dinner. And my mom and sister cooked, so if you excuse me, I'm gonna go pig out....some more.
****Suddenly, a loud noise can be heard coming from Jim's kitchen.
"What's that?" Angela asks.
"Oh nothing. I just injected some growth serum into Jim's turkey."
"Growth serum?"
"Yeah, you know, to make it a little bigger. We got all of Jeff Bennett/Rob Paulsen's personalities to feed you know!"
*Suddenly, someone runs past screaming something about a 15 ft. turkey destroying the kitchen, as the noise grows in volume...**

**Two dozen panicked turkeys suddenly swarm into the room, followed by Bronx, Nudnik, and Cavall, who chase the flock happily around the room for two full circuits before racing out again, leaving a trail of feathers. Owen comes in and glares at the mess. Glancing around to make sure Oberon isn't watching, he turns into Puck, who promptly spins around the room Tasmanian Devil-style, getting rid of all the mess before someone can complain. Having done that, he snaps his fingers, and Mandi appears in the room. Puck vanishes.**
Oookay...Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Fanfic quotes--I'll wait until I get back to school and can get into my fanfics. I'm sure there's several, but I can't think of anything right now.
DumlaoX--Oh, okay. Feel free to send it over.
Kitania--Yes, I did see "Lover's Walk", and laughed so hard at Spike drunk and whining to everyone about his love life!
**BUG'S LIFE SPOILERS**
I saw it last night and liked as much as I did "Antz," if not more. The animated outtakes were hysterical! Of course, there was one line that started me laughing that no one else thought was funny: when one of the ants was referred to as "Dr. Flora," I cracked up--now I can tell my physics prof he had a cameo! (Of course, the character was female, but I thought it was funny at the time.)
**BUG'S LIFE SPOILERS END**
Actually, this is all I have for a post today, since the rest of my day will be monopolized by my family. ;) Have a great holiday!
**Mandi exits. A lone turkey sneaks in the door, brandishing a sign that says "Eat ham this year!" Puck appears, glares at the turkey, and snaps his fingers. They both vanish in a puff of smoke, a strangled gobble, and a few singed feathers.**

**RP!**
**Ravyn and Alex finish their dance and head over to see what's going on in the war between Jeff Bennett's & Rob Paulsen's personalities. After ordering out for pizza, Ravyn turns to make a short comment.** **END RP FOR NOW**
Coyote> Yeah, that was great timing! And I would love to see a showdown between the WCW and the WWF too. There could be some _really_ interesting matches in there! And yeah, I guess I'll tag along with you on this adventure! :)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, everyone! Have a great one! (And thanks for trying on the turkey dinner, Todd!) ;)
**MORE RP!**
**The pizza delivery guy arrives and knocks at the door. Alex Wonder goes to answer it, but as soon as he opens the door, he realizes that the pizza guy is really Barney the big purple dinosaur in disguise. "Hello, new friend!" Barney laughs annoyingly. Alex screams and slams the door, running like heck away from the monster...** :)

Okie-dokie, let's shake the tree and see what falls out.
Theme-setting:
"Avery, youre a mockingbird," Uncle Leroy said. "Most of the time, youre content to sit in the tree, mind the nest, and sing your sweet song simply for the joy of singing it. The minute your nest is threatened, wham! You are a spitfire, a one woman wrecking crew." ---Leroy Bishop, "Mockingbird"
Self-contradictory & Most out-of-character :
"Tina is a lovely human girl but you need to think of the clan." ----Goliath to Lex, "Angry Young Gargoyle."
Most irrational:
"Only if you can catch me, you big blue heifer."
-----------Avery to Demona in "Avery's Bad Day."
Romantic:
"Thank you. You gave my first time back to me." He sighed softly. "We bonded." ---------Lex to Tina in "Faith."
Significant plot-wise:
Izzy got a curious expression on his face as Dennis left and stared after the musician long after the door closed. "Something's wrong," he murmured.
"Cousin?" Gomez asked.
"It's probably nothing," the thin man said, shaking his long, golden hair around his shoulders. "But I've got the weirdest feeling that the piano man's luck is running out. Strange."
-----Izzy and Gomez from "Angry Young Gargoyle."
Enigmatic:
"Voyeur," Rhiannon snorted. "Not tonight. All the elements are aligned."
"You know what will happen."
"Yes."
"Shall we tell them?"
"They'll find out for themselves," the serene voice said quietly. "As it should be."
----Rhiannon and Puck from "Rockaway at Midnight."

*BLAISISM, RATHER THAN TRUE RP*
*"Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! And in honor of the occasion, I've brought a traditional Thanksgiving dinner to the comment room! It's in the next room - turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, the works!"
Todd throws open the door to the next room, and there sees Bronx, Boudicca, Nudnik, Cavall, and the Yorkshire barghests in there already, their front paws up on the table, devouring the entire Thanksgiving dinner. Cagney is on the table, eating any scraps of food that the hungry gargoyle beasts missed.
"Hmm.... Looks as though we're going to have to keep the pets around here under better control." Todd glowers at the beasts and the cat, and shuts the door with a sigh. * BLAISISM ENDS, FOR NOW.
DOUG ELDER - I'm looking forward to your "Through the Ages" fic, by the way; "vast-sweep-of-history" stories have always delighted me. Maybe that's one reason why immortals are so much fun; since they can live for centuries or even millenia, think of all the history that they can participate in over their lifetimes. I hope that the GFW site gets its fanfic portion back up and running real soon.
*BLAISISM RESUMES* *"Well, I did have a small back-up Thanksgiving dinner planned," says Todd, heading over to another room, and wheeling it in on a trolley. But just then, Garm and the yell-hounds from the Wild Hunt burst in. Todd has to flee as the Unseelie dogs bear down upon the trolley, devour every scrap of the meal, and run out again. "Aw, nuts!" *BLAISISM ENDS*

SOROW- Actually, keeping track of certain voice actors is one of my hobbies. I have 638 listings for Rob Paulsen, 543 for Jeff Bennet, I lost count around 900 with Frank Welker, 397 for Kath Soucie, 59 for Jim Cummings, and 47 for BJ Ward. (I know, Jim and BJ I only started a couple months ago.) I could have included a far more complete list of characters, except I don't have those lists typed up, so I REALLY didn't want to do so for the comment room's benefit. And besides, if I had written out all 1181 voices Jeff and Rob have done, not only would my fingers be falling off, but the CR would NOT forgive me for that, and it would STILL be an incomplete list. But the general idea got across, I have too much free time during vacation...
I first heard about the fourth turtles movie around fall last year. It was going to ride on the sucess of the series, and use characters from that cast, but with better costumes. Since the series has been cancelled and I haven't heard anything about it in a while, the movie probably has as well.
Hmm, now I'll have to rewatch the Peach movie. I don't think I caught that one. Make Jeff's list go to 544...
Wilek- I'll check out the sounds in a moment. I have the fastest modem available, but I have a lousy server that cuts off if something needs to load for more than a few minutes... (Blasted AOL...)
And while the Avalon Archive is good, I plan for my stories to go to their own page. (Vain I know, but...) The main reason being, there is going to be a LOT of artwork accompanying them... That, and I still have editing I want to do first...
Traveler- Well, I've bookmarked THAT page. Once again, I'm kinda surprised there are turtle fans in here. Especially turtle fans who actually know about Ninjara and the MM... Makes sense I guess, Turtles were sorta the parents of Gargoyles...

**Scene: The "Bird of Prey" is parked in Jim's driveway, and Traveler, Fleur and their team are scattered around the mansion relaxing. CC is chaseing swimmers around in the pool. Traveler is now idley sitting around with Draco, both playing the new "Legend of Zelda" game (Don't ask how an approx. 50ft.? dragon is able to work an N64 controller), while causaly placing bets on the individual outcomes of the huge brawl in progress across from them. Just then Doug walks by and Traveler waves him over. Traveler: Two things Doug; One: I just heard Kitainia wants us to drop off Clan Austin in well, Austin. In the "Bird" that'll be no problem, but afterwords, if nothing else comes up, I would like to offer my services to your group or Wilek's, after the party wraps up of course.>:) I don't know if Fleur want's to come along as well, we'll just have to ask. Two: Are you familiar with multiple realitys? Draco and I are having a dissagrement; who would win in a fight between Glactius and Oberion? Doug: Interesting, but why would you want to know? Draco*snickers*: Look behind you lad, its about to happen. Scene fades out.**
WHHOOO BOY! I really have to post more often. Look how much this room has filled up since it was wiped! As for my opinion on the whole RP in the CR thing; *looks up* well I think my answer's pretty clear.:)
****I would like to propose a moment of silence in rememberence of Netscape. Go out and download the latest version of their browser now before AOhelL has a chance to &^%@$@#^&% it up.****
****Oh no, look out, it's another EPISODE SPOILER!!!****
Disobedience- Ahhh, another Manhatten Clan based story. I like, I like. Very nice portrail of the characters(both in writing and in pics, both new and old) ("Miss Kitty" *hehehehe*). It was nice to see the Puck out and about again.>:) One question though that's been bugging me for awhile, whatever happened to Fang after he escaped in the first seasion? Somehow though, I get the feeling that the "reading material" George Harrison obtained pertaining to Sevarious is going to play a part in answering that question when the episode is released. Oh no, did I just answer my own question?>:)
****Horray!!! It's the end of yet another episode spoiler!!!!****
>Cyrway- <AA Update> Let's just say it's shaping out very interesting...> Shapeing out interestingly you say? So that means Brooklyn only dies about what? 2-4 more times? *hehehehe* *ducks as an angry Eddie fires several blasts from her Ion cannon at him* BTW I'll take your advise and keep my distance from Artemis.>:) <Wanna see a fair race? Drop a Porche 911 engine right into the back of any Beetle after 1960 and weigh down the front. It'll beat any American sports car on takeoff...because of the power tweaked in the engine and the weight of the Bug, it's the ultimate racer!> I'll take your word for it.>:) And lemme guess, because of the type of "tinkering" (assuming it's been done to the carb) your car is now "technicaly" illegial to drive?>:))
>Sevarius Jr.- Mmmm.....pie. And where is that mini-fridge? I want my leftover pizza back!
>Fire Storm- See how they spontainously combust.>:)
>Coyote the Bando- Arrgghhh!!! 9600bps?! My God, what are they using at that ISP? Old ARPAnet equipment?
>Nicodemus- Impressive. Most impressive. Thank you.
>Robby- *Said in a joking mannor* Good Lord, do you have any idea what you have done!!! It was bad enough you mentioned Ninjara in Cyrway's presence, but you also commedted on the MM!!! You have no idea what you have just unleashed. To get an idea, click on my name.:) *hehehehe* And yes, CBS and FOX did kill that comic.
>TO EVERYONE- HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! Also, if you get the Sci-fi channel, tomorrow and friday are going to rock. BTW, I missed the last episode of B5, anybody know offhand when TNT is going to play it again? Well that said and done, I must go and read Wilek's new fic. and try some of those Castlevania mp3's. AND........
Dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons,dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, and yet still unbelieveably, incredibaly, unpredictabialy, amazingly, astoundedly, uncomprehensbly EVEN more dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, AND THE DRAGON KING!!!

I recommend "Reincarnated Soul", "Iron Blue Intention", "Prayer Of A Tragic Queen", "Calling From Heaven", "Bloody Tears", "Vampire Killer", "Wicked Child", "Dwelling Of Doom", "Cross Your Heart", "Hearts Of Fire", "Out Of Time", and "Poisoned Mind".

Don't worry, I'm not mad at anyone. I just went shopping with my oldest brother and he bought me four CDs as a late b-day present. I also wasted fifty bucks on clothes. But you know girl stuff.
FYI> Since I was( and sort of still am, a huge TMNT fan) I read on the official Turtles Website that they're going to make a fourth movie. About what, I have no clue.
Robby> Boy, I could totally relate to your Jeff Bennett/Rob Paulsen(you spelled his name wrong) list. Since they're my two favs I could probably even tell you the ones you left out:)
TO ALL> IF YOU WANT TO HEAR JEFF BENNETT SING IN A REAL LIFE BROOKLYN ACCENT, WATCH "JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH".(He doesn't do the talking voice though.)

PARTY RP**(Jim looks at the war going on. "Wow, I don't think any of my parties have ever broken out into a war before! Funny how no one's getting hurt though..." Jim's sister Kari looks at him. "They may not be getting hurt, but they're causing a LOT of damage. Something has to break this up.)** END PARTY RP FOR NOW
41 OR 42 ROTATIONS OF THE BRIGHT CIRCLE IN THE SKY BEFORE THE NEW SEASON OF TIMEDANCER STARTS, DEPENDING ON IF YOU COUNT THE DAY IT PREMIERES OR NOT.
Happy Turkey day everyone!
Hmm, Kate Mulgrew's engaged? That's nice. Especially nice for her that the media hasn't made anything out of it in the last five years. Heck, that's downright amazing!
I would put down stuff from the poll, since I currently have 18 fics, (And growing!) but since none of them are up anywhere yet, and only three people have read them, (At this point you have to e-mail me and ask for a copy. This will be fixed soon, I'm working with a friend on it.) any lines I give will be unidentifiable... However, there is one line that ties in with theme setting, self-contradiction, most irrational, romantic, significant plot-wise, out of character, AND enigmatic, so I suppose I should include it. Granted it came from various characters in various situations, but the line DOES apply to every one of those in the four or so instances it pops up in... And what is this all purpose line you ask? Well...
"You killed me."
Some takes have an exclamation point or a questiong mark, not to mention emphasis on different words... Its not the most romantic line I got, but it ties in with everything else, and it does pop up during a romance scene...
Wilek- Yes, I can see how Castlevania music WOULD be good listening for gargs... Where can I find the MP3's for it?
SJ- When you finish dancing with Angela, you should ask Jim's sister Kari for a dance. You may or may not have noticed, but she hasn't talked to anyone except her brother for the whole party. She doesn't have a date, and no ones asked her to dance at all...
MORE PARTY RP **(Jim considers the situation. "Well, considering its a blasted war, which oddly enough hasn't woken any of the sleeping guests up or anything, just yelling 'stop' isn't going to do it. I need SOMEONE with enough personality to get all of the Rob Paulson and Jeff Bennet Personas to stop..." Jim runs over to Wierd Al, who is in the middle of "I lost on Jeapordy", and asks him to stop. They need a voice who will attract attention, and who is already at the party. Moments later, the hopeful solution is on stage. "LADIES AND GENTELMEN, SIR ELTON JOHN!")** END PARTY RP.

**Sevarius Jr. is watching Frankie groove along with a couple of gorgeous swimsuit models. So far, he (SJ) hasn't had too much luck with the ladies....In fact, Venus just turned him down for a dance.
"You have a lovely shell."
"Get lost, creep!"
*Sigh* "Oh well, at least Frank's having a good time. I wonder where he learned to country line dance?"******
I'm a little bummed out, guys. BABYLON 5, perhaps my favorite show of this entire _decade_, ended tonight. It was a beautiful episode, but it left me so sad. Kind of like the feeling I got when I knew Gargoyles was over....However, good for B5 (and bad for Gargs) is that B5 already has a spin-off show in the works. But B5 was such a great show....Like Gargs, it made you think, about who you are and what we believe in. Great show, one of the best. Still, it's sad. Kind of like saying goodbye to an old friend.
I may be going out of town....don't know for sure. But if I don't get a chance to say it later, let me say it now:
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope you're turkey tastes great!
**SJ walks up to Angela, whose talking to Broadway off to the side.
"Umm, Angie---I mean, Angela, sorry--um...do you wanna...I mean could you....would you like to dance with me? You can say no, I'm used to the rejection."
Angela and Broadway exchange glances. Good-naturedly, Broadway says, "Go ahead. Let's give the guy a break."
Angela turns and smiles at SJ. "Sure, I'd love to dance with you."
"Really?" the joy on SJ's face was evident. He takes her hand in his and they begin to dance to the 'Beauty and the Beast' soundtrack Ravyn supplied.
<HA!> SJ thought. <This "lovable loser" schtick works everty time...>

**No RP this time; this post is a bit short for that. Besides, I'm not feeling particularly creative at the moment.**
Madoc knowing about Alex> Actually, I think that's a very, very interesting development. Besides, it might offer the opportunity for the TGS staff to do a much better remix of the TGC episode "Ransom" (I think), which was about someone trying to kidnap Alex. From what I hear, that ep was VERY poorly done.
That reminds me...did Halcyon ever figure out that Anastasia was Titania?
Deuce> A way for DNA-altering psychos to kill a main character without being pointless or drawn-out? Well...I'm not sure I can help. All I can think of is them capturing her and mutating her in such a way that she doesn't survive, and that meets none of your criteria...
Robby> One good source of music to read TGS by is the Castlevania game series. I often listen to MP3's of Castlevania music while writing fics.
Taleweaver> Sekhmet became a love goddess after getting drunk?! LOL!
Coyote> Stuff like that from my own works? Well, I only have one fic up, so this list will be a bit incomplete...
Most irrational> Me: "HIT THE DIRT!" in "Begins The Dance" (click my name to read) when I think several others and I are about to come under attack
Significant plot-wise and theme-setting: Me: "If we don't retrieve [the Phoenix Gate] before its next jump, it will destroy everything."
Dr. Wright: "Everything as in...?"
Me: "Everything as in *everything*. Every world. Every timeline. Every moment in time. Existence will cease to exist."

Thanks everyone, for all the comments about "Disobediences". Like Christi said, it was a fun story to write, and it was a personal honor to have written it with her. :)
Aris (re: Brooklyn's leaving): It's not an in-joke. It's another TGS engima. And thanks for the comments on the Robbin's parts... those were one of the toughest to write, considering I'd only seen one ep with him in it.
Sailor Moon: Yes, I was the one responsible for bringing that into Ariana's character. I saw that Graeme mentions in "Out Of Joint" that he likes Japanese cartoons, so I figured that he had his favorites, and Ariana has hers. And Sailor Moon just seemed to fit. True, we couldn't mention the show by name, but it was fun writing it in. (and got a great Sailor Ariana/ Tuxedo Graeme pic out of Christi to boot! <grins>).
Bando's Question: <I'm curious,of all the writers in here from your own works (TGS eps *included!*), I'm curious to know what dialogue lines you think fit these
categories:>
Theme-setting - ""Ah-ha! I can see the doubt in your mind, Goliath! How about I do this: I'll make it only temporary, for a few days only. Plenty of time to take care of your
Human-friend, and then, if you wish, I'll return you to normal after that." - Puck, making his offer in "The Gift"
Self-contradictory - "I came here today for two very important reasons. The one, is to wish both you, Goliath, and you, Elisa Maza, nothing but lying, cheating, and stealing." - The first part of her wedding toast to Goliath and Elisa, in "A Midsummer's Joining"
Most irrational - "At times like this, I miss my wings!"
Goliath (in human form) in "In Avalon's Nursery"
Romantic - "Never forget your time here, Matt Blue-Stone! And, always know there is one that is here to welcome
you, in Avalon!" - Elektra, speaking to Matt at the end of "In Avalon's Nursery"
Significant plot-wise - "He has . . . he has my baby!!!"
Demona, speaking to Elisa in "Alliance of Hearts"
Most out-of-character - "Jalepena! Why didn't you say so?!?" - Goliath, after being told he's nearly late for his own wedding in "A Midsummer's Joining"
Enigmatic - "~master . . . the time is come . . .~"
- The Time-Traveler, Kenta, in "O' Hallowed Avalon: Part One"

Just a little news to pass on to the Fandom...
Kate Mulgrew, voice of Titania and also known as Captain Janeway of the Starship Voyager, got engaged over the past weekend. Her husband-to-be is Tim Hagan, who's currently the outgoing Cuyahoga County Commissioner, right here where I live. Small world, huh? The strange thing is, they've been seeing each other for nearly five years and this is the first I've even heard about it. A discreet politician - what _is_ the world coming to? :P

Hey, folks. Just to keep things interesting around here, thought I'd toss this one up.
I was just looking through my own works, and certain lines were popping up toward me as significant in different ways. I'm curious, of all the writers in here from your own works (TGS eps *included!*), I'm curious to know what dialogue lines you think fit these categories:
Theme-setting
Self-contradictory
Most irrational
Romantic
Significant plot-wise
Most out-of-character
Enigmatic
It'll be interesting to see how these come out. Here's the list for my own works.
Theme-setting: "With your shield or on it." -- Elisa's last words in my cycle before her death.
Self-contradictory: "Magic that deals with souls is never an exact science." -- Owen, in "Soulscape"
Most irrational: "You've been eating a lot of beef, haven't you?" -- Lina, upon first meeting Liberty in "By the Grace of Oberon."
Romantic: "Remember that I love you. Now and forever" -- Elisa/Rosanna near the end of "Soulscape." (And yes, I know I paraphrased Goliath's main line from "Awakening:" that was intentional.)
Significant plot-wise: "Sorry, dear sister. But it's your fault. You let your guard down." -- Angela at the start of the ambush in "Prodigals."
Most out-of-character: "It's good to be home" -- Demona, at the beginning of "The Innocent Warrior." After reading this one over and over, I'm now realizing that Demona would *never* say something as trite as this.
Enigmatic: "You can't hide it from me, Rosanna. I know the Mazas too well." -- Coyote after making it known he knows Rosanna's feelings for Rain, in "Life and Death at Castle Wyvern."
I'm interested to see what the other replies to this are ... self-critique is always the most cruel, especially in retrospect, and I'd be really interested to know how much everyone's writings have evolved. :) It's a learning experience for me, as well ... learning what to avoid in my own writings. Hopefully it's a learning experience for everyone who tosses quotes up.

** Deuce is still writing in the little jean notebook. **
Thanks for all the ideas. They're ALL awesome, and they've given me plenty to think about. I think I'll take the best parts and fuse them into the plot outline as I go. Now, if I can only finish without busting into tears... although I probably won't do that until the final draft.
TMNT> I was, like, OBSESSED with the Turtles between kindergarten and grade 2 (which would be for only about a year, but that's another story). It was a pretty cool show/comic book/franchise while it lasted. The new show doesn't do it justice. I avoid it.
C++> I don't know Jack about that, but I'm trying to learn DHTML. Anybody know how to change the style of a segment of text onMouseOver? (Like the S8 main page, but with text). I've tried some JavaScript stuff, but it keeps screwing up.
MANDI> Not to, um, LAUGH at you, but I'm running at 50.6 kbps right now... hehehe....

KYRYN-- Indeed, you are correct. He's a radio vet from way back when. Glad your fiance was a fan of his old stuff and hopefully will become a fan of his latest material. And if he likes that, tell him to order the Volume 2 CD :)
MANDI-- Doesn't matter. This CGI script was written in C++ and if there are any problems you can spot in any way, it would be appreciated. Besides, from what I kinow (i.e.- none) basic knowledge of C++ is good enough for diagnosis of this. But like I said, I'll send it to you Monday.
Have a happy Thanksgiving, everyone. And if you are traveling, stop reading this and go home now before the crowds eat you alive :P
Till next time...

**RP!**The screen lights up to reveal Coyote in one of the guest rooms of Jim Noying's mansion, investigating his face in the mirror. When he notices the camera looking at him, he turns around, yawning.**
Hey, guys. Well, I'm just about ready to crash here ...
**A loud CRASH is heard outside the door.**
Very funny, Jason.
<"Sorry, I couldn't resist!">
Hmm ... Jim, I apologize for Jason breaking up your pots and pans just for a cheap laugh. Anyway, one last batch of replies and I'm out.
Kyryn: Okay. Thank you for clarifying.
Doug: My party is with you when you leave. Ravyn, are you with us?
Green Baron: I would've suggested Kennedy for a Joxer there ... hmm, that's a hard one ... give me a few days to think about it.
Fire Storm: The Free Press called it "another 600-pound gorilla," in reference to how Microsoft is being portrayed in its antitrust suit. Anyway, I still think it's going to be a grand mess.
Cyrway: Boy, you're worse than the TGS staff in stringing us along!! (j/k)
Ravyn: Sorry. But you have to admit, it gave Alex some pretty good comic timing, there ... and to tell the truth, I personally would pay the exorbitant PPV prices to see a tag match between WCW and WWF: Austin and Michaels vs. Goldberg and DDP, just to prove once and for all which circuit is better. (And after that match, you can do the factions against each other: I would also like to see how both NWOs (white and red) would fare against, say, the Truth Commission or DOA or DX).
Robby: The moment you have been waiting for is here ... you have WON the 50 cybercookies, since nobody else knew that Marvin Aday is the real name of Meat Loaf. Name your flavor and I'll have the 50 airlifted to San Antonio.
**RP!**Coyote is about to shut off the light when he hears scratching on the door. He opens it up to reveal Buick standing there.**
What're you doing here?
<"Arf.">
Oh, you want to stay here tonight? Okay.
**Coyote closes the door and turns out the light as the screen winks off.**
**And the real Coyote appears in the room.**
Yes, it's the real me, wishing everyone here a happy and safe Thanksgiving. Good journey and fortune to all of you traveling, and I hope to see you back here *very* soon.
**Coyote brings around hearty handshakes for the gentlemen and bear hugs for the ladies.**

**RP!**
**Ravyn is about to bet on Shawn for the fight between him and Stone Cold, but Goldberg & Page attack and drag the two off. Ravyn sighs as Goldberg shuts the door. "Oh, well, I guess Shawn won't be coming back..." Beside her, Alex Wonder smiles widely. "Nope." He says happily. "Guess not..."** (end RP for now)
SJ> *grins* Wow, a whole post dedicated to me! I feel so honored...wait a minute...Shawn isn't a pansy! But it was SO funny to have Stone Cold show up! Thanks! :)
Coyote> Hey! *laughs* You just had to drag Shawn away, didn't you? ;) That's okay, though, it was a great idea! Even though Shawn & Austin could take out Goldberg & Page any day of the week...;)
Doug> Ooh! A fight through San Antonio?!? Sounds great! :)
Everyone, have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!! Eat lots of turkey, then look forward to the month of turkey sandwiches that will follow...;)
**RP!**
**Alex Wonder is so happy about Shawn leaving that he decides to take a risk...he goes over to the stereo and puts in the "Beauty & the Beast" movie soundtrack. As the title song starts to play, he walks over to Ravyn and holds out his hand, er, talon. "Care to dance?" He flashes a smile, and Ravyn can't resist. "Of course." She replies, and the two start to dance around the room...**

Bugs life stuff, not spoilers, but stuff... It was a good movie, and I won't compare it to ANTZ, they are very DIFFERENT movies, its an unfair comparison. Bug's Life is a lot more colorful and funny, while ANTZ is dark and serious... Also, anyone who sees Bugs Life, STAY FOR THE CREDITS! About a minute in, they go into a hilarious blooper reel! It is sooo funny...
Now, BUGS LIFE SPOILER
"It's a rock."
END BUGS LIFE SPOILER
On Mulder and Scully- I hope they never get together. It would kill the current chemistry they have, and besides, the producers said the show will END if they ever get together... But, its the last season anyway, so if they were to start a romance, I suppose it would be fine...
Doug- Ninjara is a female fox character who was the GREATEST thief in all Japan and stayed around the Ninja turtles for some time, dating Raphael. She was cool, and could kick any one of their buts. Should have sent her to the party instead of that annoying Venus character...
Deuce- The nastiest death I can think of, that isn't quick and pointless, but isn't too drawn out, is perhaps a 24 hour virus, with NO cure. No real side effects, so the death isn't drawn out, but you know the character willdie, so you have 24 hours to write in anything you want. ANd if you want it to not be meaningless, it can be a injected when she saves someone's life by taking it or something. Just my thought on the matter...
Kyryn- As I said above, Ninjara was actually in Ninja Turtles first, for about 4 years. But the artist Chris Allan liked her so much, he moved over to Furrlough a few years later after Turtles was cancelled. I was ecstatic when I saw the cover to an issue he was in, he's one of my fave artists ever. I immediatley did my best to catch up on back issues...
And on a similar note, YOU KNOW ELIN WINKLER? Woah, that's cool. But wait another couple months, and I may no longer be just a Furrlough reader, I may be a contributor... I'm working on a submission right now...
Cyrway- Obviously, I'm the one who mentioned Ninjara... And the Mutanimals were cut in their prime. They had just gotten past that huge story arc they started with and BAM, cancelled... And then they were outright killed in Turtles later...
Gee, who knew there were other turtle fans in here?

Just a few things to clear up before I run out. **Dave appears, hovering over her shoulder** Okay, it's gonna be quick.
FANFIC HOSTING--Until further notice, feel free to send me fics, but don't expect them up until Sunday night. I'll post the link here when I get it up. This comp is not equipped to FTP large files without a lot of free time.
DUMLAOX--Oops. I don't know CGI, I only know C++ programming up to stacks, linked lists, and class libraries. Does that make sense? :)
DOUG--Yes, I did see Buffy, I made sure to get home in time to turn it on. (I even talked my way out of my evening class.) I was laughing my head off at Spike drunk through the whole thing.
Anyway, Dave is not being patient (but I'm not patient either,) so I'd better get going.

Everything you wnatd to know about Sekhmet but were afraid to ask> Just adding another tidbit to our august knowledge of the goddess. After that business with destroying humanity and getting drunk on blood red beer, Sekhmet was transformed into Hathor, goddess of love.
I like here as a villianess too. There's something I like about stylish villian, like Scar, a gentlemen's gentleman air. Sekhmet may kill you, but she'll look good doing it.

**RP** Kyryn is seen loading up the motorcycle with her electron pulse cannon and a number of large items with tubes inside them. Buick and Bandit have just finished discussing the finer points of driving/flying various vehicles and Buick is heading back to Coyote and the others. Kyryn looks up.**END RP**
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Safe journey and safe back for all those of us on the roads and in the air!
Coyote> Buick is with you guys. I'll still be hanging around for some of the RP.
Green Baron> The name is Kyryn not Kryvyn. Although that variant works. I might use it for a twisted alter-demensional character at some point :) I agree that we need to watch out for each other more. That is one of the reasons why I think that many people liked Gargoyles. It wasn't a show where everyone was out for themselves (as is the case in so much of the world today). It was partially about helping out others and watching out for each other.
Doug> I'm still with the RP. I just may not be able to post quite as often. I also figured I'd add an interesting sideline. These are the true gremlins (not from the movies) who love to play tricks on people. They are more like a type of unseelie however, in that their pranks are usually vicious and end up destroying property and sometimes people. I've just been having so much trouble with electronics lately that it seemed natural that the gremlins were responsible.
Robby>Aha! another Furrlough reader.*l* of course I know who Ninjara is. If I didn't, my friend Elin Winkler, head of Radio Comix, would probably beat me upside the head with a rolled up issue. (Elin is also president of the SAAS)
Akira is definitely *not* gargs music!
Todd> Thank you for the information about Sekhmet. I knew a lot of the info but there were some new tidbits.
Aris> One would assume that since the British clan has had beasts for a long time, they would probably know how to train them. With that in mind, Lucy's puppy would not present as big a problem as Nudnik. Nudnik's main problem was that he had been allowed to get away with things for far too long.
DumlaoX> Thanks for the info on London and the House Party. Unless I'm mistaken, London used to do the London and Englemann show on another LA station in the 80's. My fiance Okami used to love their stuff and sometimes sits and listens to his old tapes and says how much he misses them. Now I can send him to the site!
Starsinger> What part of Texas?
Deuce> You can always have her save someones life. That's always a classic. But make sure that it leaves a lasting impact on the remaining characters.
**RP** Kyryn spots a gremlin going into the mansion across the street. "Uh oh, maybe I'd better hang around here for a while. After all, the hub problem was in SA"**END RP**

** Deuce is writing furiously in a denim-bound notebook. As the screen flickers on, he looks up. **
I'm working feverishly (hehe, love that word) on a plot outline for my fanfic "Stolen Heart". I've been half-heartedley working on it for at least two years, and there have been almost four "final drafts". And now... I need help. I want to kill [a main character], but I need help on how. She's being pursued by some psychotic DNA-tampering weirdos (think SJ's dad, but even less stable), and she takes sanctuary in the Aerie. This all takes place about 2015, although the date has changed six times since I first conceived this. A basic "Tasha Yar" death (quick and pointless) doesn't seem right, and as for a more drawn-out, poignant suffering, I don't think I could do that. My friend accuses my of being in love with this character. Seeing as how she's more than a little based on a girl I've liked since childhood, that's not too far off. :-) So, any suggestions?

**RP WARNING** At the party, Thailog, having slept off his drinking, comes stumbling down the stairs with a hangover. Halfway down, he is pulled into one of Guod's teleportation portals and sent back to his base. All but a couple (Sevarius Sr. and one other) of the other RP bad guys who came are also zapped back. Doug notices the portals and wonders if he should be concerned. He then shrugs and opens a portal of his own, this one going back to the twisted and complex world that is his mind. "Yo!" he then shouts, giving a sharp whistle. All the fanfic characters he brought to the party, realizing it's time to go, start walking over and begin entering the portal, thanking MrNoying for the party as they go. Doug turns to face the CR.**END RP FIRST HALF**
Alright, first, everyone please excuse the length of this message. It's my last one till Saturday, and I have a lot to say. Happy Thanksgiving!!
Thanks again to everyone who supports the RP, and everyone who has since the last message. The vote is in, the ayes have it, the RP stays. I just recommend and know that we will all abide by the rules for it. Thanks to all who are participating and continue to do so.
Garlon as a mouse: Hahahahaha!!! I like it! Glad he was only a mouse for a thousand years, otherwise he still would have been one in his one appearance in my fanfic so far (which in my timeline happened about nine thousand years ago). I think I will give his gargoyle form the rat tail, thanks to Kitainia for the suggestion. :)
Cats and Fay: I hope the Seelie have some good cat fay to equal out the bad ones. Freyja and Bast should do nicely. Thanks to Todd and Nicodemus for all the info on Sekhmet, it was very interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing her again. I'm also wondering, because of her (ex?)-husband, if she has anything to do with Madoc joining up with those gnomes that were making the Quarrymen hammers.
Kyryn: Happy gremlin-hunting!
Ravyn: Sure, you're welcome to come with us. So is Shawn, Alex Wonder, and whoever else you want to bring along. Please read the RP plan below so you know where we'll be taking this in the postings ahead.
Zath: Nice creativity demon you have for the RP there. I don't think it will happen, we have no plans for Janice to have a love life or meet the CR Lawyer as of right now. Someone would probably start killing them both repeatedly if it did and Janice is not immortal. Thanks for the laughter, though. Your CD did inspire a lot.
SOROW: Don't feel bad. People haven't responded to my reaction to Gargoyles MUD areas question last post, either. Guess they're indifferent to mine, or like it probably is with yours, they have nothing to say about it.
Robby: Re Calvin and Hobbes, Hobbes could only really move around by himself in Calvin's imagination. That added to the comic's feel, and was a very nice story arc (I loved the unlikely personality Calvin gave his imaginary friend!).
SJ: Yeah, orgies do tend to mellow me out, generally. But in a place like this, with something like that, it wouldn't be long before me or some other poster I care about got involved with the wrong person, or we got some sexual bizzare things like BDSM involved. I just don't think this is the place for that stuff (and I know I'm right), so it would be my duty to get mad. As well as any decent-minded poster's. Glad it's not going to happen, of course.
Deuce: Glad I'm not the only one who wishes Mulder and Scully would just go ahead and get together. <thumbs-up> to you, man!
Mandi: (*WARNING: BUFFY SPOILERS) Did you see Buffy last night? It was excellent!! If you didn't and need a synopsis, please e-mail me and I shall send you one. Spike was so great in that episode that I just have to talk about him, <grin> (Favorite lines- "I'll just go find Dru and torture her until she likes me again! Love is so funny." and to Buffy and Angel- "I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it!") Ditto for Willow and Xander in the ep. (BUFFY SPOILERS END*)
Mandi again: Thanks for the offer to host fanfiction. Mind if I take you up on it? I'll send you "Clash of the New Olympians" when we're back from our vacations, and "Masterpiece," too if you don't still have the earlier copy I sent you. If Chris doesn't have the archive back up when I finish "Through the Ages" (up to the 1803 Lewis and Clark scene now), I guess I'll also be sending you that one.
(*FANFIC SPOILERS!!) Speaking of my next fanfic, does anyone here know the exact year Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead died? Was it last year or the year before? I need to know because I want to do a very emotional scene with him and Agony in the story, and haven't been able to look for the info on the Net. Finals, papers, and family gatherings ahead tends to eat up your time. :) If you can tell me, please just say the year in here and I'll thank you when I get back from Thanksgiving. And don't worry, the scene will have Agony killing Garcia, but it won't do one of my favorite modern rock stars character injustice. (END FANFIC SPOILERS*)
Coyote: We shall certainly enjoy that party, looking forward to it! You better read the RP plans below, too. You're part of them.
Green Baron: Right now we have no plans to include Jim Bakker in the RP as a direct villain. We just needed some Jesus-he-knows-me hypocritical and wealthy Fundamentalist Extreme guy to own the mansion where Pastor Paul and his Remnant (that's what his traveling group of Fundamentalist Extreme people is called in real life, btw. Shap, Stephanie, Kitainia, and myself have all encountered them before) get their troops together before they attack. Jim Bakker was the best one I could think of, because I wanted someone whose character I would not have to explain. If Bakker does come into the RP, we will use Jessica Hahn (whoever she is) against him. And no, we won't do anything to James A. Baker, we too agree that he's a good guy. I think, as far as political figure involvement in this RP goes, we should let you handle it. You're the political expert and would best know how to handle evil corrupt politicians. :) Feel free to bring Sister Sue, the Orange Duke, and anyone else you like into the action. Glad you too will keep on supporting us.
Firestorm: Urgh!! Oh well, Netscape's browser shouldn't change too much. I really hope AOL doesn't mess with a good thing. I like Netscape just the way it is.
Robby again: I don't, who is Ninjara? And, though I never did read too much of the Turtles comics, I thought what I did read was at least as good as Fox's old TV show. The only real comic books I read are Garfield, Calvin and Hobbes, Dilbert, Knights of the Dinner Table, Prince Valiant, Daredevil, and Lady Death. Daredevil is my favorite action superhero comic. (*FANFIC SPOILERS!!) I'll be featuring Daredevil and Bullseye in the next fanfic Marvel crossover I write. (Yes, Kingpin and Rose will be in there as well!) (SPOILERS END!!*)
Wilek: Thanks, I too think it's a cool idea. Regarding Karnov, no his name is not a coincidence. He's going to be an evil version of that Nintendo strongman hero, partly inspired by Kitainia's desire for revenge on him. She also used to own the game, and let's just say she never was able to do too well on it. :)
Aris: Any paragraph of Kitainia's or mine that has asterisks at its beginning and end is either a Spoiler or RP stuff. Two asterisks for RP, one for Spoilers. That should help you differentiate. Glad you're able to let the RP stay, and thanks for all the comemnts you made on "Disobedience." You said just about everything I did before my first episode review accidentally got wiped. I will abide by the RP rules at least, don't worry.
To all Partygoers: Let me go ahead and share with y'all our plans for the RP when we get back. We're going to have the bad guys attack at the end of my next post (this Saturday), and do a little fighting with them on the mansion grounds. Then Kitainia, the rest of the Ravens, the bikers, and myself will lead them away from the mansion on a merry chase through Fiesta Texas (which Robby tells me is nearby), down the River Walk, and eventually to the Alamo where we'll make a stand against them. That way they won't interfere with the party or its closing ceremonies too much. Coyote, Jaden, and Ravyn can chase the bad guys along with us or catch up later while they stay at the party. If you guys who are staying want, though, I will have Pastor Paul leave Brother Dale (his gang's answer to Brother Roy, a guy who is known for long repetitive FE-rhetoric speeches and saying that whoever blatantly disagrees with him must be demon-cursed or -posessed. He's one of those who thinks people are taught Christianity is the root of all the bad things in history these days. His kind of Christianity, maybe, but not the good kind!) and a few Fundamentalist Extreme and gangbanger clones behind for y'all to play with. Do to them whatever you wish, even death is allowed. :) So we won't be here for the party's closing ceremonies, but we will have other important business. Also, don't worry about the guy who stole Tricia's wallet and keys, we'll handle him in the RP. This has been a revelation of our basic plans. :)
Okay, that's all I have to say now. See everyone again after Thanksgiving!!
**RP SECOND HALF BEGINS** Doug closes the portal to his fanfic universe, and then walks out to the Onslaught. Keith is there, locking all the Ravens' vehicles inside the trailer of the truck. "Ready to say good night?" Doug asks him, and the Ravens' ninja/GM/stockbroker/mechanic/janitor nods, slipping the keys back into his pocket. "I'm glad Splinter came here," he grins. "I learned some new moves from him." "That's great," Doug says. "Are you sure the truck is locked?" "Yep, nobody's getting in there. At least not without a lot of blasting and hot-wiring. Jammer has the only other keys, I think we can trust him not to surrender them to anyone." "I think we can, too," Doug agrees. "Shall we go on, then?" Keith nods and they head back inside, going up to the guest rooms to get some sleep. Meantime, at the mansion across the street, the chopper bearing Guod and Asil makes its arrival. The screen blanks out. To be continued on Saturday!**RP ENDS**

ARIS - "CYOTI" was a sort of first-draft name for the Coyote robots in a Writer's Bible for the first season of "Gargoyles" written by Greg Weisman himself, which we happened to come across; the section in it on the Pack provided the foreshadowings of "Leader of the Pack" and "Upgrade" in it, mentioning not only the future introduction of "CYOTI" (it was an acronym for something but I forget what) but also the transformation of Wolf into a wolf-man and the cybernetizing of other Pack members (as wound up being the case with Jackal and Hyena).
I'll admit that I still prefer to stick to "Coyote", though, and I'm inclined to view "CYOTI" as more of a first-draft name, like "Dakota" for "Demona" or "Xavier" for "Xanatos". But that's just my attitude.

And the Zed/Casey/Halfings thing? Keep an eye on it.... that little subplot just only getting started.

RP> I don't mind it as long as it's clearly separated from the rest of the message. However, I beg the role players to abide by the forementioned rules and write clearly, in capitals and asterisks when their RP ends. Please, don't write warnings only when it begins, and don't write just an indistinguishable </RP> or 'Rp ends now' which I'll have to read the whole paragraph if I want to notice. Just make it as clear as possible, so that those of us who are not interested in RP can skip it. I apologise if I'm being pushy, but I just don't have a lot of time in the internet and I want to read only the messages. Sorry.
Nicodemus> Very interesting stuff. I'm always interested in learning more about ancient mythologies. Thanks.
Last TGS episode> I finally managed to review it. 'Yorkshire Adventure' will have to wait though.
*** Spoilers for 'Disobedience' follow ***
In a Nutshell: Excellent.
Okay, was this foreplanned? That both stories would concern gargoyle puppies? Hmm... I wonder: if Leo and Una had known of the troubles Nudnik would bring, would they so willingly give Lucy a puppy?
The 'Owen frustrated and/or tired out of his mind' always brings me a smile, no matter how many times I see it. Though this certainly didn't reach the levels of depth and meaning of despaired Owen in Merlin Missy's 'Consequences' (when will the next part come out Missy?), or Jewel Faulkner's 'Without You', this was nevertheless a *great* way to start the episode. The beginning hooked me to the story, the same way the beginning of 'Yorkshire adventures' almost drove me away. Kudos.
It was about time we saw Graeme and Ariana fighting. Up to now they seemed the most friendly siblings in all of the planet and it was unrealistic. Kudos again. But I want to know what all those japanese insults meant. Pretty please?
I think the reaction of the clan at Owen's request *was* believable... somewhat. Here comes though the first small flaw. It's reasonable that the clan be shocked at Owen's request: Gargoyles do treat beasts as part of the clan and family and would never abandon them.
But *really*, Brooklyn suggesting they leave? That's silly and illogical. Sorry. It felt like an in-joke (which it most probably was: Is it you, Stephen, or Coyote who has Brooklyn and Sata moved to San Diego?) but an unfitting in-joke. I don't mind in-jokes when they don't mess up with the logic of the situation (I didn't mind the aardvark reference last season for example) but this was a different case. Sorry everybody was overreacting and it wasn't making sense: They have Madoc to worry about, and they'll leave because they can't housetrain Nudnik? And why San Diego?
Isn't 200 pounds a bit much, btw? (200 pounds are 100 kilos, right?)
Though, as always, I'm doubtful of the need for yet more recurring characters, I have to admit that Sekhmet had *style*. A very lovely adversary. I wouldn't mind seeing her again, if this isn't at the cost of the regulars' screen-time.
I *loved* the background on Garlon. A mouse? LOL!
I loved seeing Robbins again, and I loved the way Hudson thought of him to train Nudnik. Robbins was always a mentor character and that was a very good way to use this attribute of him, in an unexpected way. More on him later.
Is this the first time Zed and Casey appear? Once again I'll complain for the introduction of even more recurring but I'll have to say that these ones were very well defined, just as Sekhmet was. Congrats if they are new ones. If we've seen them before, I'll have to read the previous stories.
All these skirmishes between the good guys and the Unseelies help give the war a sense of inevitability but more importantly of intelligence as well. It's good that the bad guys can actually plan instead of simply rushing into battle and getting beat up.
C.O.Y.O.T.I? An acronym? Is this new or do I simply not remember it? What does it stand for?
I liked the Puck/Garlon combat as well.
But my favourite part in the story, were the Lex scenes:
Until I have absolute proof to the contrary I'm going to insist that Lex was reading Terry Pratchett. Say it's so, Spike and Coldstone? And it was *great* that we got to see Liz again. (by 'see' I generally mean see her have an impact to the situation) To expand on this:
When I first reviewed 'The Rising I & II' you'll remember that the one scene I was most ecstatic about was Liz's discussion with Lex. I felt that it was the best Lex moment in the whole of TGS. But moreover (and with no real evidence, just a gut-feeling) I said that Liz was Lex's guardian angel, that she would help him out more than anyone else.
Proven right, wasn't I? In 'The Rising' she made him open up. Now she made him laugh. I hope for Lex's sake that we'll see more of Liz. Kudos to the writers, once again!
The Lex-Ariana scenes were also great. I loved her timid question, her impulsive hug, the hints of her future knowledge. I loved his sad reaction and his curiosity. To expand on this: Lex is always one of the most observant of the clan (as seen in 'Possessions' for example) and in 'Out of Joint' he was the one to notice that Brooklyn's answers didn't make any sense. This has extra-significance since Lex is quite probably the one who has the most to lose and sacrifice in the future. Where will this whole thread lead? What do Ariana and Graeme know? Do Brooklyn and Sata know even more than their children? How dark or how sad is Lex's future? I'm quite intrigued.
Loved Liz's program.
That Madoc will know about Alex is worrying one way or another, but how much will he know? Will he know that he's Titania's grandson, and that therefore she was Anastasia? If so, please use it to bring Titania and Halcyon back to the story. I miss them both.
Throughout the Robin plot I was making mental notes to myself thinking of this review. They went like this: "1. Robins should know about Hudson by now. Is he an idiot? Minus point. 2. Robins should never let a child go and get in danger. Minus point. 3. Robins KNOWS about the gargoyles? Cool. Delete first two negative points and replace them with positive ones."
I had liked a lot the TGC episode where Robins revealed that he knew about Hudson. I'm glad to see it here as well, so that I won't have to say that TGC dealt with him better than the Saga did. I also loved Graeme's reaction: "Hey, no way! I had a bath!"
Finally I loved the artwork. Christi Smith Hayden is one of the most talented artists out there, and quite probably THE most talented.

Hi everyone
Belated B-days> Happy Birthday to anyone who's had one since my last post.
Disobedience> Great story.
Sekhmet> I thought I might give my rendition of the legend (though Todd's got it mostly right):
Ra, ruler of the Egyptian gods, originally was a strong, vital warrior and wizard, but over the years he grew old (odd, since he's about the only one of his pantheon to be noted as having aged; also, he wasn't quite as bad off as Halcyon Reynard, since Ra could still walk without help) and man became less respectful of him. More to the point, some conspirators tried to overthrow him. Wondering what to do, Ra called a council of the gods. Eventually, it was Ra's 'father' Nun (god of the primeval waters) who suggested sending Ra's Eye after them (it's unclear whether the "Eye of Ra" was a title or an actual physical object) in the form of the goddess Sekhmet.
Well, Sekhmet took care of the rebels, but she became so enamored of killing that she just wouldn't stop. By the time she finally decided to sleep at the end of the first day, she'd wiped out half of mankind (though she more likely wiped out half of Egypt). Of course Ra was horrified at this turn of events, and to save humanity he concocted a plan. He had a great quantity of beer brewed and then mixed with red ochre. The resultant blood-colored liquid was then poured out on the plain near where Sekhmet was sleeping. When the goddess woke up she saw the mixture and, thinking it was blood, began to lap it up. Soon she'd gotten herself drunk to the point where she passed out. This gave enough time for the humans to make peace with the gods, and for Sekhmet's bloodlust to dissipate.
Sekhmet wasn't all that happy about what happened, though, and went off to Nubia (a land to the south of Egypt) to sulk. So Ra had to send in his vizier, Thoth, to cajole Sekhmet back to Egypt (Thoth was successful). Soon after, Ra left the throne of Egypt to his son and took to the heavens (more than likely, he'd gotten tired of putting up with the fractiousness of his court and just wanted to have some peace).
Actually, there's a lot more to Sekhmet than destruction. She was a queen at one time, with a family (her husband, Ptah, was sort of the Egyptian equivalent of Haephestus, and was thought by the people of Memphis as the creator of the world; her son, Neferten, seemed to be a god of fragrance (_don't_ quote me on that, though!)) and rulership over Memphis. One of the few warrior-deities in the Egyptian pantheon, she was one of Ra's champions against the forces of evil. Later on, however, she was relegated to the wastes of the desert to the west of the Nile.
Sekhmet was a solar deity, representing the destructive aspect of the sun (i.e., the force that produced drought, sunstroke, etc.), and was complemented by the goddess Bast (or Bastet) who represented the beneficent aspect of the sun (the part that ensured good crops, warmth, light, etc.). Sekhmet was more into war and wild cats, while Bast was more the party-person and was associated with domesticated cats.
One last thing about Sekhmet: her 'worshipers' wouldn't have included just a bunch of war-mongering cultists. Sekhmet was also the patron goddess of disease, and as such was prayed to by Egyptian doctors. It wasn't so much that she could heal someone of a disease, as that she could remove the disease from the person's body. As such, she was something of a patron of medicine (which was fairly important, since Egyptian doctors had a reputation in their day about as sparkling as that of Viennese psychologists in the 20th century; i.e., they were what most people of their day thought of as superior healers).
Sorry to be running on like that, but I just wanted to be informative on a subject I, too, have some interest in.

<RP> I apologize in advance: My RP entries are gonna be pretty long for the duration of the party, since I arrived late, there's only a few days left, and there's a lot I want to do. [Wilek comes downstairs wearing a pair of white denim jeans, and his hair is now in the "dog-ear" style popularized by Puck, the Magus, Jackal, Hyena, and others. Wilek: "Trying a new look. You like?" He then sees the small war about to erupt over the fight between Raphael and Brooklyn. W: "Oh shoot. Should I lend a claw?" Miriam: "I don't think so, Mr. Nereus. You'd be torn apart, no matter which side you take." W: "But all those characters will be torn apart too! We can't just stand by and do nothing!" M: "You've seen how many characters are involved! We'd never survive an interdiction attempt." W: "WE wouldn't, but...HEY PUCK!" The trickster pops in. W: "Puck, about a zillion characters down there are about to pull each others' guts out. Some of them are your allies, one of them is YOU, and somehow I don't think you want them all chewed up in what's about to start." Puck: "I think you're right, blue boy. But I can't save more than a few, you know." W: "Then save who you can! Some of them don't even exist in the Gargs universe anymore, like young Macbeth since he grew up, the Magus since he's dead, and a few others." P: "How 'bout I just make them all unable to kill each other?" W: "That'll do." Puck casts his spell and the characters are essentially immortal, at least until the party's over. P: "Eventually they'll get sick of fighting and just go home. I know that's what happened with Mac and Demmy. Besides, Yakko's a fellow trickster Fey anyhow. A former student of mine in fact." W: "Kewl."]</RP>
The main reason I commented about the possibility of Vogel=Loki is the irony: Puck basing his human identity on someone who was himself the false identity of another Fey. It would have been quite funny to watch them become aware of this...
FS> Netscape is the best browser? Well...when I tried to use the thing, it started downloading virus-ridden COM files into my cache. My virus checker found and killed them before they could cause trouble, but I'm now a confirmed MSIE user.
Fleur> <<'every living thing on Earth will perish.' It _was_ true, but alright! I admit it! To quote a certain billionare: I've always wanted to say that.>> You too? I'm hoping to work it into my fics...
Mandi> About two seconds before reading one of your recent posts, I was thinking, "Whatever happened to that psychotic dog of hers?". Ever wonder?
Garlon as a mouse: I FINALLY understand why Todd promised not to give him certain lines...heh, I wonder how Garlon would deal with Attilla, Kitty, and Mist...
Kitainia> The psycho circus has a strongman named Karnov? I have a Nintendo game called Karnov, and the hero is a firebreathing circus strongman. Is this a coincidence?
SJ>I just got the PC game "Frankenstein: Through The Eyes Of The Monster". Guess who plays the good doctor. That's right, dear old Dad. And not just the voice: he has the full-on Sevarius attitude. Scary.
SOROW> My situation was the same as Kitainia's--I didn't know the answer to your question. Sorry.
Whoever asked> Well, Owen Burnett is technically mortal, and is killed just as easily as any human. I'm guessing it would be much the same way for Garlon's mouse form, except Oberon wouldn't have Garlon age so he'd suffer even more. So if he were eaten, he'd die. Which goes to show that he was probably never eaten.
Doug> <<For the record, though human construction workers will also be there. I'd like to show the two races working together.>> Hey, kewl idea.
Heather> Actually, Fleur's possession idea sounds really good; you might want to use it.
<RP> [As the multitude of characters below launches into their futile war, Wilek looks around for something to do...and sees several Nintendo 64's loaded with several copies of the new Zelda game. He jumps off the stairs and glides directly into the game room. W: "Jim, I'll buy a copy of Zelda 64 off of you at any cost." Jim: "OK...a speeder bike." W: "There are a few out at my landing craft." Jim runs outside to get a bike, and Wilek pockets a copy of the best N64 game ever.]

Puck asks Jim, "So, am I too late for the magic show?" "Heck no Puck, it's going on right now. But the guy I got isn't very good..." Puck looks towards the show, and sees a moose and squirell. "Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabit out of my hat!" As Puck watches the failed attempt at magic occur, he senses something, and turns into Owen Burnett. He then leaves the area, sensing trouble is about to start...

Cripes, this is going to be a rather large post... I have very little doubt it is going to be my largest ever... And talking about it doesn't help...
43 DAYS TILL TIMEDANCER SEASON 2! 42 IF YOU DON'T COUNT THE THURSDAY ITSELF. And on that note...
Firestorm- I'm counting down as a service to everybody. Calling out something like, "Only 2 days left until Timedancer Season 2 starts!" made my heart jump. For half a second, I thought maybe I had missed a piece of REALLY good news. Yeah, you mentioned timetravel a line later, but still, the shock had already hit my system. That just ain't nice! But feel free to do that again in forty days...
Bug's Life comes out today for those who have forgotten as much. I plan to see it, and I'll give my review on it later.
And while the Dragonheart soundtrack is great gargs. listening music, the Akira soundtrack is NOT good for Gargoyles. And while on the subject of soundtracks, I know I brought this up last week, but it was near the end, does ANYONE know why Disney has not yet released a Gargoyles soundtrack? Even though there's now like, EIGHT for the Lion King?
More cat info: My first high school had a cougar as a mascot. My new one has a panther as a mascot. Wierd.
SJ- I too prefer the Turtle's comic forms, and I have all 438 comics, counting all four series, (Mirage, Archie, and Image) various spin-offs and one shots, etc. etc. I included Venus not because I like her, (I despise her in fact) but only because I figured somebody might make a big deal out of it if she wasn't there. Since no one even mentioned her, I guess I could have just left that fool out... Ninjara is a much better character that I like and would have had more fun with at the party, but I'm willing to bet almost no one would know who she was... In fact, DOES anyone here know who Ninjara is?
Coyote- And the answer is *BEEEEEEP*. Don't know how no one else guessed that. Do I get my 50 cybercookies now? I can wait a little longer, but I'm hungry!
Todd- Thanks for clearing up the Sekhmet thing for me. And its spelled Miraj? I never would have guessed, but that is a much cooler spelling...
Raptor- They have said Timedancer Season 2 will start January 7th, and if you haven't noticed, I'm counting down to it. Patience is a virtue, and we WILL be rewarded, as they claim there will be at more than six months of stories when it hits... (On the downside, my countdown is bad for them, because if they ARE off, everyone will know it.)
Theresa- Okay, I slipped on Rattrap true... And the black Panther was a character named Ravage, but he was only in three episodes of Beastwars... Does anyone else here think Silverbolt looks like a gargoyle?
**More Party RP. Again, this will be my longest one _EVER_, and I don't intend to ever try and top it. (³We donıt think so.² All the many characters of Jeff Bennet look behind Raphael, and see a cast of characters equal to their own. Its the many voices of Rob Paulson. Helios from Gargoyles, PJ from Goof Troop, Jonny Pew, Fowl Mouth, Concord Condor, and Arnold the pitbull from Tiny Toons, a bunch of smurfs and snorks, Casper the friendly ghost, Yakko, Pinky and Dr. Scrachansniff from Animaniacs, Didgeri Dingo, Axil Gator, Francis X. Bushlad, and Daniel Platypus from Tazmania, the Mask, Hardrive from Swatkats, Mighty Max, Gusto from Gummi Bears, Hathi from Jungle Cubs, Hydro Man from Spider-Man, Squishington from Bump in the Night, Throttle from Biker Mice from Mars, Antoine from Sonic the Hedgehog, Major Glory and a bunch of other Dexterıs Laborotory characters, Hadji and a lot of other people from the Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, Arthur, Brainchild, the Crusading Chameleon, and the Terror from the Tick, among others. The sides are about evenly matched, both voice actors have done more voices than I can ever possibly name, especially in the CR. A war is about to start at this party, and it isnıt going to be pretty.) Especially if the many characters of Kath Soucie and Frank Welker become involved... But I donıt think Iım going to list them. This was harder than I thought it would be!

ONLY 2 days until Timedancer is released! (If you count Timetravel! <G>)
DumlaoX: Pride (in the name of love), I still haven'd found what I am looking for, with or without you.
Also, the Stones "Anybody seen my baby"

****RP WARNING****
**The strip poker game is still going on. Louisiana's Senator Mary Laundrieu (the Laundrieu's are one of many corrupt New Orleans families and she probably slept her way to more than one office and if you see a picture of her, you can see how) repalces Demona at the poker table, causing Carl Levin, Ted Kennedy, and Bob Packwood to start salivating. On another side of the room, Barney Frank and Jim Kolbe are singing while they are very drunk. Since Barney's here, it means the House Judiciary Committe is out, along with Henry Hyde their Chairman. Henry has been driven a little nuts by all the partisan bickering so he's chasing Maxine Waters with a gavel yelling, "you're out of order." While he's chasing her, he notices the Catholic schoolgirl scouts, primarily Brigette. Brigette rushes up to Henry Hyde and shouts, "Uncle Henry" while she hugs him.**
Garlon> I noticed the mouse-like details, but I recall he organized the frauds to kill Merlin. I guess Oberon did thsi during the banishment.
Doug> I back you with the RPs. They are fun and I can use them to vent out at certain people I really dislike or applaud those I like, which I will do in a few minutes.
Kyrvyn> I agree with you on the Second Ammendment. If more responsible citizens had a gun and helped their fellow neighbor, we wouldn't need more police. We just need people to care about each other.
Kitainia> Reagrding Jim Bakker, I recommend using Jessica Hahn against him. I just hope you don't do anything to James A. Baker, George Bush's Secretary of State. He's a good guy and not anything like Jim Bakker.
Discovery Channel cameramen> It is sad to see cute littl ebaby animals get killed, but teh cameraman's job is to observe and record, not to interfere. Who does that sound like :)
Starsinger> I guess it must be good to have soem peace and quiet. As for cat-a-pulting, I'm tempted to do that to Attila some times, like when he wakes me at 3AM.
**RP Resumes**
**While the people playing teh poker watch teh amusing scenes between Henry Hyde and Miss Waters, Maryland's Parris Glendenning tries to steal the money and clothes on the poker table. When he makes his first grab, a chokrham (sp) hits him in the heart, killing him instantly. Everyone looks in the direction of the throw to find Washington State's Linda Smith immitating Xena with Michigan's Ronna Romney carrying a large staff like Gabrielle. I wonder who will take Joxur's role**

Hey, guys. Well, we're all about ready to crash. The movies were both GREAT! ... unfortunately we had to sign secrecy clauses before they showed them. Dang, I really wanted to tell you guys all about them ...
<"Lighten up, Coyote. Have a drink">**Jason opens a Budweiser and cocks it back.**
Thanks, but after a while I just go for the non-spiked drinks. **Coyote picks up a bottle of Pepsi, opening it.** Anyway, let's make some replies, then get ready for bed.
**END RP FOR NOW!**
Coldstone: Acclaim well-deserved, Mr. Sobotka. The ep was excellent!
Kyryn: We didn't forget about ya. I knew you were still here ... actually if I recall Buick's still with you. He really likes you, I hope he doesn't go with you on your gremlin hunt, he's the only one who can operate my tank!
Robby: Are you sure Demona's really going to be willing to host another game? I mean after all, she lost her shirt ... her belt ... and her skirt in the last one! And on top of everything else, she was stoned, too. If you get her with all her faculties, I don't think she would be willing to. I'll give everybody until my next RP post (tomorrow evening) to guess who Marvin Aday is, then I'll give you the 50. If someone guesses it right, you will be reimbursed per our arrangement.
Doug, Kitainia, Ravyn: It's not so much a burden as it is a pleasure to host fics by the woman whose work inspired mine so much. You're quite welcome.
Mandi: Hope you've at least got a plastic bag over the machine ... I'd hate to think about your hardware being ruined by roach dusting. BTW, who's not letting you take the comp. home? I'm assuming it's your property, who really has the right to dictate to you where you have to keep your own stuff? (Because I'm pretty sure the school doesn't have that right.)
Wanna talk about slow dial-ups? My modem can negotiate with the ISP ... at its *fastest* ... at 9600 bps. The modem itself is a 14.4, but the fastest the ISP's modem can handle from me is 9600.
Ravyn again: No problem. As for Rosanna, well, she does have a clan to lead. However, I thought she could use a break from her personal troubles, and she's had a *lot* recently.
Kitainia again: Cool. You're all invited to the WCC Wrap Party at G99 (which could quite possibly become the biggest (in terms of attendance) room party in Gathering history.)!
Robby again: Quite a lot of cat info there. Mind if I add one more?
There are seven U.S. professional sports franchises who use cats as their mascots, or as part of their logos; none of which are basketball teams. The seven teams are:
Football;
Detroit *Lions*
Cincinnati *Bengals* (tigers)
Carolina *Panthers*
Jacksonville *Jaguars*
Baseball;
Detroit *Tigers*
Hockey;
Florida *Panthers*
Nashville *Predators* (their logo is a sabre-toothed lion's head)
Notice that of these teams, four are in the South, two are in Florida, and two are in Detroit.
SJ: Just look at my out RP, and enjoy!
Deuce: So Calgary won the Grey Cup, huh? If you didn't like *that*, I wonder how you felt the one year that the short-lived Baltimore Stallions won the Cup?
**RP!**All eyes turn toward the source of a loud CRASH!: Austin and Michaels, while brawling, have been taken surprise by Diamond Dallas Page and Goldberg storming the party. Before they can do anything about it, Michaels finds himself on the receiving end of a Diamond Cutter, while Stone Cold feels the fury of the Jackhammer. Coyote and his party go wild!**
YEEEAAAHHH!!
**Page and Goldberg acknowledge the crowd, drag the other two wrestlers out of the room and close the door. (Sorry SJ, Ravyn! ;) Everyone returns to what they were doing before as the screen winks off.**

**The glimmer that signifies Star Trek teleportation half-solidifies into a human form, then stops halfway. The form turns and bangs on an unseen console. "Work, you piece of junk!" Mandi finally solidifies in the room, shaking her head.**
Wow. I never appreciate my net connection in my room until I come home and have to use Mom's slow comp. From a dialup, the RPs are difficult.
Heather--I'll add my $.02 to the plagiarism debate. First off, since you've never read Angie Ippolito's fics, then you can't have plagiarized from her in the first place. This sort of fanfic writer's collective conscious happens all the time and in other genres; I came up with a weird non-Garg crossover story and started writing it, only to have a friend post the first few parts of a crossover with the same premise on her site! However, I planned to take the premise in an entirely different direction, so I e-mailed her about the similar idea. She didn't have a problem with it, so I started writing it.
Even if you don't e-mail Angie, go ahead and write it. It's not plagiarism by any means since you've never read her stuff, and if you're really worried about plagiarism, explain the situation in the disclaimer. If someone does try to accuse you of plagiarism, point them in my direction--I'll vouch for you in a heartbeat, since your African clan is perfectly original, and I'd like to see how you handle the transformation idea. Besides, what you've shown us so far is really interesting. I say go for it. :)
Zath--Well, my Creative Writing prof is really serious about the class. We have to complete a polished short story (minimum six pages) by the end of the semester as well as a rough draft of another story and four or five polished poems. What makes this workload a workload: the workshop. Every class, we have to comment other students' works and share them with the person. For story drafts we have to generate a full page of comments and critique the writing; for rough poems (2 sets) about half a page of comments per poem. The comments are what take forever, but it's worth it for the feedback. The workshops we've done have been really serious and the criticism is actually helpful. For her part, Dr. Gottfried definitely puts a lot of effort into her critiques--the short story draft I turned in got a 2-page response, and the poems each got a full page from her. I got so wrapped up in revising that my story ballooned to 18 pages. I think this class has been more helpful with writing than any other I've taken, although it's taken more time than I expected. :)
DumlaoX--I'm serious about the C++. I've gotten all my programs in class to work on time, so I might be able to help if you still need it. **knock on wood** Although I don't know a thing about Java or CGI.
**X-FILES SPOILERS**
Deuce--I was laughing my head off at that X-Files episode. And a friend of mine came into the dining hall yesterday exulting because "Scully kissed Skinner! Scully KISSED SKINNER!" to quote her verbatim. Yeouch. Personally, I wouldn't mind if they got together as long as they didn't over-do it; I'd prefer a Tracy-Hepburn romance to anything melodramatic just to preserve the banter. But I can wait until they get together (if ever).
**X-FILES SPOILERS END**
Anyway, Mom needs the phone. Dinner was great, but I miss my comp already. 'Tis all...

Sekhmet was an actual figure from Egyptian mythology, a lion-headed goddess who was created by the sun-god Ra for the purpose of punishing humanity for showing little respect for him (Ra was getting on in years, had become almost the ancient Egyptian equivalent of Halcyon Renard as far as physical vitality was concerned, and humans began to make fun of him for it). Sekhmet enjoyed her job a little too much, however, and tried to actually wipe out humanity altogether (one wonders what a certain red-haired female gargoyle would have thought of that - and let's hope that Demona never manages to emulate Jackal with Anubis and similarly becomes the avatar of Sekhmet). Ra didn't want the actual destruction of humanity - he merely wanted them to learn their lesson and gain some humility - so he hurriedly called Sekhmet off by getting her drunk and then taking her back to the realm of the gods (or something like that; I forget the details) while she was sleeping it off. (The werecheetah bit is probably our invention).
Miraj from "Aladdin" would have to be only a cousin to our Sekhmet (and when I saw her in the series, I always thought of the other Egyptian cat-headed goddess, Bast, myself).

** WARNING! POSSIBLE X-FILES SPOILERS! **
KITAINIA re: LOVE ON TV> Oops. heh... You misunderstand me. I WANT Mulder and Scully to fall in love. Well, technically, they're already IN love, but I mean I want them to wake up and realize it. When Mulder finally got the nerve (or the drugs) to confess his feelings, Scully though he was joking, as is the norm with him. This is why I was so frustrated.
You should have heard me synopsizing the ep for my friend, the world's biggest 'shipper: "Scully kisses... Skinner. Mulder kisses... someone who looks a LOT like Scully. Mulder tells Scully he loves her; she rolls her eyes." Stef was having an apoplexy (whatever that is). :-)
** END X-FILES SPOILERS! **
ROBBY re: DISCOVERY CHANNEL CAMERAMEN BEING UNCARING A--HOLES> Yeah, that bugs me. What's really awful, though, is when you walk into a restaurant, sit down, and discover that there is a large-screen TV placed where you cannot avoid looking at it while you eat, and every thirty seconds it shows an adorable little animal butchered before your very eyes by some bug-ugly creature from the depths of hell. This actually happened to me in a crappy little hotel restaurant in San Diego. I lost my appetite for the undercooked burgers very quickly. <re: FOOTBALL> The Hamilton TigerCATS lost the CFL Grey Cup last Sunday, losing to the *shudder* Calgary Stampeders. Yecch.

**Warning: RP stuff. (If you're not a wrasslin' fan, you might be a little confused).
I'm dedicating this little post to fellow wrasslin' fan Ravyn Maza.
**The Bird of Prey has finally landed at Jim's party, and the occupants are all set to enjoy a little R & R after spending the past few days fighting to save the world.
Sevarius Jr. and Frankie jump out of the ship, decked in their traditional party attire: shorts and a Bermuda shirt. SJ is wearing shades.
"Well, Frankie, finally we get to rest up and relax. No more fighting scuttlers, clones, or anything for the next few hours, at least. And---Hey, what's that noise?"
**A distant rumbling can be heard as it grows ever closer...Until finally, a huge monster truck speeds onto Jim's lawn, ruining the flower bed. A large, bald-headed, really pissed-off looking man hops out with a cooler of beer.**
"My God Frankie! It's 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin!"***
AOhelL: Please....please no. I hate AOL. I had AOL, but I switched. Now I have a simple Netscape browser, and I know they're gonna screw it up!
Doug: Flame war? For what, an orgy? Geez, that kind of thing usually mellows people out....
Turtles: Ugh, you had to include the girl turtle. Personally, I'm a fan of the original TMNT comic (which was filled with gratuitous violence and death). Fox ruined the franchise!
Angela as Yoko: Well it works. They both screwed up a good thing, be it Qmen (a good bad thing) or Beatles....
Movie reviewers: Well, I think it's subjective. You like what you like. If you think Titanic is a huge piece of crap (like me--remember before you flay me alive, that's just my opinion!!!) and "Rugrats" should win the Oscar, hey, that's the way you feel. Personally for me, I hated almost all the quote/unquote "best films of the year" like Titanic, Armageddon, Saving Private Ryan, etc., and I loved the smaller, simpler films like Blade and Rush Hour. They ain't winning the little gold guy, but they were fun to watch!
Robby: Pull for the Vikes.
Oh, and I loved both Thundercats and SwatKats as well. Dr. Viper kicks butt!
HAPPY TURKEY DAY: I'm probably going out of town, so if I don't get to say it, have a Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
**SJ and Frankie approach Stone Cold in hopes of an autograph.
"Sure, son! Anything for a fan," the large wrestler says. He signs two beer cans and hands them to SJ and Frankie. "Say...are you 21 yet?"
"Um...no sir."
"Then make sure you don't drink that. How about your friend? He 21?"
"He's about 200 some years old, Mr. Austin."
"Well, then hell, drink up."
Suddenly, Steve sees his most hated enemy, SHAWN MICHAELS, playing Twister.
"YOU!" Shawn shouts in anger.
"That's right, you long-haired little nancy boy. I wanted to enjoy the party, but it looks like I'm gonna have to beat your pansy ass. Austin 3:16's gonna stomp a mudhole in you, then walk it dry!"
Shawn and Stone Cold square off, about to trade blows. Meanwhile, SJ and Frankie are trying to make bets on the fight......

Hmm, no party bit right now, I posted RP earlier today at 1:30 AM... Suppose I'll have to make better use of my RP time from now on... Ah well, not much to talk about anyway. Just cats...
Lets see, I can't see Elisa ACTUALLY throwing Cagney at Garlon, but it DOES present a great visual image.
I still think Sekhmet seems a LOT like Mirage from Aladdin. And I gotta wonder if this is just accidental or of its because both characters originated from the same myth or wherever they came from...
Also, while cats may not be scared when they do certain things, lifting their tails straight up when you pet them does NOT mean they are happy, it is a cat's way of saying, "Smell this."
CATS is a very interesting musical. The costumes are great, the dancing is good, most of the songs are good, and the story is... Well, I'm not sure if there IS a story...
Lions and tigers are both cats, but bears are not. Nor do lions, tigers and bears live in the same area usually. So why did Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the tin woodsman begin chanting as much? Granted, there WAS a lion, but we never saw a tiger or bear...
I have a small siamese cat, and his name is Baby. Don't laugh, I didn't name him.
Hobbes from "Calvin and Hobbes" was a stuffed cat, yet he was always actually able to do stuff without Calvin. Anybody else think thats a litte wierd?
Thundercats was an animated show in the mid 80's all about cats, and I loved it at the time. I also liked the show Swatcats, which is a bit more recent. Go Razor!
At the party, someone was using a cat-a-pault. For those of you who didn't catch the joke, they were taking cats, and launching them into the air.
Beastwars has a cheetah, a gorrilla, a white tiger, a mouse, a bird/wolf, a manta ray, a rhino, a black panther, an eagle, a raptor, T-Rex, 2 spiders, Pterodactle, crab, scorpion, scorpion/snake, and a fire ant. While almost all of them are cool, of those creatures, only three of them are cats.
There's going to be a football game Thursday between some Vikings and Cowboys. I'm not sure who to root for. My dad comes from Minnesota, the Cowboys are a lot closer to where I've always grown up. I could just root for whoever's winning the last thirty seconds, and then claim I rooted for the winning team... However, neither is a team of cats.
Anyone else ever turn on the Discovery channel right in the middle of a cat documentry, get hooked into it, and then you get really pissed off at them when one of the little cubs dies and the cameramen didn't do anything about it?
Now THAT is a post about cats...

**RP ALERT** Back at the party, Kitainia approaches the only other female still awake who is not watching Shawn Micheals, her best girlfriend Shauntara Lockdale. Shauna is standing at a window, holding her bow ready as she watches the mansion across the street. "What's the matter?" Kitainia asks her. "You notice how many vehicles have arrived over there in the last few hours?" the Ravens' archer asks her. "Including a tank, two helicopters, and a lot of vans and cars marked with pro-Fundamentalist Extreme and -gang slogans and icons. I'm worried." "That mansion belongs to Jim Bakker, according to Green Baron," Kitainia points out. "I heard he, Jerry Falwell, and a lot of the rest of their crowd are stockpiling a lot of weapons, food, and ammunition in preparation for the 'coming millenium crisis' they're all so worried about. Could it have something to do with that?" "If that's true, I'll be most worried about those like Bakker and Falwell when and if the crisis does come," Shauna sighs in response. "But these guys are definitely here for us. I spotted T'angelo and his 'boy' Bruce Johnson getting out of one of the cars with several of their gang underlings." "Oh great, the gang who tried to kill you and your brother when you wouldn't join," Kitainia remembers, rolling her eyes. "Look, they probably won't attack us until they all arrive and get organized, if they are going to attack. Why don't we get some rest while we're waiting for that possibility?" "You can if you want," Shauna growls. "I'll keep an eye on the bad guys. I'm tired, but there's so much coffee in me right now I have to stay awake." "Okay," Kitainia shrugs, turning to face the CR.**END RP FIRST HALF**
Coyote: Doug and I will try to bring the rest of the Ravens along with us to Dallas when we go (right now, it definitely looks like we're coming to the Gathering). I'm sure if we can get Stephanie to come, she'll want to meet you. So do I. :) Thanks for posting and letting me, among others, enjoy Skydancer's fic.
Unseelie Successes: I think they're going to be a serious problem for the clan. The more wins they achieve, the more serious the problem will get. I think Alex's possible kidnapping by Madoc will definitely serve to bring him to Oberon's attention, as Titania should try to rescue her grandson somehow and will probably recruit the other Tricksters' help. Then sparks are going to fly.
Garlon as a mouse: I think it's hilarious, thanks to everyone for answering my question about it. I should tell Doug to give the gargoyle form Garlon displayed in "Choices" a rat's tail if it ever gets used again, just to be cruel. <grin>
Cagney Attacking Garlon: That was just a creativity demon, I know it won't really happen. Thanks to everyone for their comments on it.
Deuce: Come on, if it's well-written and builds character, as well as both characters wanting it (all apply for Mulder and Scully, just like for Xander and Willow, Buffy and Angel, David and Sonia, Goliath and Elisa, Sata and Brooklyn, and a whole bunch of other TV and TGS character couples I can name), there is nothing wrong with love! Unless people get jealous. That's my opinion, anyhow. I know I'm in probably in the minority by holding it for the X-Files couple. <Sigh> Oh well, they'll still get together no matter what any people who are sure it won't turn out right think. So ha! <insert chuckle, grin, and eventual apology here>
Kyryn: Good luck in your gremlin hunt. We'll miss you and Bandit at the circus, but that's okay, we already have plenty of recruits.
Ravyn: Happy to have you with us, feel free to bring Shawn along as well if you want. The circus does have a strongman named Karnov and several trained gorillas we'll need some serious muscle to take down. (We already have Boris, Big Al, and Bigger Dave, but the more the merrier. <grin>)
SOROW: Sorry, I didn't know the answer to your question and there was a lot of other stuff to think about. That's why I didn't reply.
This will probably be my last post before I get back on Saturday from my Thanksgiving vacation, so good bye to all for now. And happy Thanksgiving, too. Don't forget to tell us all how it went when you get back. Later!
**RP AGAIN** Kitainia notices Jeeper (the tall thin squirrel-faced albino biker with a white ponytail) regaling a crowd with tales of Area 51. She sighs and rolls her eyes in his direction. Jeeper answers her with a grin. Realizing she is very tired from all the partying and needs to sleep, Kitainia waves good night to the rest of the party goers and turns to head upstairs. The screen goes blank, to be continued next time.**END RP AND THIS POST**

I also liked the "cake and pie" comment from Zed. It put me in mind of a similar statement by two hackers in the Dean Koontz book Watchers

This is a short post so no RP ths time. Also, sorry my last RP was so lame. I was tired.
Mandi: What kind of assignments does your creative writing teacher give? Mine gets most of her ideas out of a book that supposedly has exercises that will all be good for "K-12th". To give you an idea how bad it is, it's bright pink with a big cartoon clown on the front. Just yesterday she made us write poems where each line started with a preposition. I don't know about the rest of you, but that's something my school made us do back in 6th grade (and most of yesterday's poems were about the same quality).
Fleur> <<Ever seen a twenty foot dragon try to hide behind a pot plant?>> Yes I have. His breath accidentally set it on fire, and things just went down hill from there...
Regarding Garlon> Is it safe to ask if Garlon ever got eaten during his time as a mouse (*remembers finding mouse butts (but never the head) on the door mat*) or would that just spawn a "what if Demona got her head cut off" type of debate?
I guess that's it for now. Bye all.

**Ravyn calls out, "Left hand, green!" Alex Wonder and Shawn Michaels grunt and scramble to place their left hand on a green dot, but Shawn gets tangled up in Alex's tail and falls down. Alex jumps up and down, laughing. "HA! I won, I won!!" As he bounces away, Ravyn turns to address the room.** Heh, heh...Anyone else for Twister? ;)
Coyote> Aww, Rosanna left? Ach, well, we'll all miss her. :) And thanks for hosting Skydancer's fics for a while; I missed them! Thanks for the offer of the tank, too; I might need to take you up on that if Alex doesn't come on the missions.
Doug & DumlaoX> *salutes* I will gladly abide by your rules! :)
Doug & Kitainia> Thanks! I'll probably tag along for a while on your adventure...it seems pretty fun. I don't know if Alex will go, though. ;) And Doug, I think having the RP in this room gives the room more character. Without it, it just wouldn't be the same, so put me down for keeping the RP here. :)
**MORE RP!**
**Ravyn grabs Alex's arm and starts to drag him off to the room where they're gonna show movies. Suddenly, loud whistles and screams erupt from the corner. Ravyn looks up and notices that all the party's female guests are gathered around, watching Shawn Michaels "put on a little show." Ravyn runs off to watch, leaving Alex alone. Alex grins and sighs, heading off to the movies by himself.** END RP...FOR NOW...

Grrr. I'm going gremlin hunting. First they tried to fix a transformer on campus and managed to fry about 20 computers (fortunately none of ours), then we had little things like light pens that had to be reset. And, to top it all off, I left for dinner yesterday evening,(figuring I would come back and read the new ep) and the internet was down when I came back because some idiot at the hub in San Antonio blew an upgrade and crashed the router our lines use!!!!! (I won't even go into the problems I'm having with my home systems right now)
Had to vent.
On plagairism> Britannica Online defines it as "the act of taking the writings of another person and passing them off as one's own. If only thoughts are duplicated, expressed in different words, there is no breach of contract. Also, there is no breach if it can be proved that the duplicated wordage was arrived at independently". Therefore, there doesn't seem to be an issue with Heather using her original idea for her fics. It is obvious from her later post that she has not read Angie Ippolito's work. Unless she is using one of Ms. Ippolito's character's, she shouldn't need to ask permission. Because, if that's the case, then a whole lot of us are guilty of it by using Disney's original characters and storylines. I've also noticed plenty of overlap in ideas.
The above is my opinion, not TGS's or anyone elses.
The cat/fey issue> Most cats hiss when they are startled, not necessarily angry. (I've startled the semi-mythical patchcat enough times to know). So I don't think that there has to be antipathy, just a reaction.
OK, now I'm off to read the ep.

CATS AND FAY - Of course, you've got to wonder where the antipathy of cats for faerie-folk leaves Sekhmet and Grimalkin, not to mention any mythological deities associated with cats out there (such as the Egyptian Bast or the Norse Freya, both of whom would surely be Third Race in the Gargoyles Universe). And for that matter, what response would the Mutates have towards the fay, on account of their physically feline appearance?
I don't think that Elisa's going to use Cagney as a weapon against Unseelies like Garlon, though; can you seriously imagine her throwing him at them like that?

WILEK: Following the TGS rules, TGS isn't allowed to name any trademarked names, like Coke, or McDonalds...or Sailor Moon. So, while they can't explicitly SAY that Ariana's a Moonie, I think the suggestion is pretty obvious. :-)
Garlon as a mouse for a thousand years. What a wicked idea. You know, i WONDERED why he was constantly described as "mousy" last season!! ANd Spike, the artwork is just beautiful...especially the middle pic of Sekhmet.
I'm sorry to hear that Dark Ages won't be out till next September...that was my favourite of the four series. Glad that it's not been cancelled, though.

Thanks for all the lovely comments on "Disobedience." It was a lot of fun to write!
Regarding Garlon: He's got a rather sordid past. As punishment for siding with Madoc during the 1st Unseelie War, Oberon turned Garlon into a mouse for a thousand years. His 'coming out' was rather eventful, in that his transformation from mouse to man took several years and involved having to hide things like fur.... mousey ears... a tail. To this day, Garlon still has a touch of an overbite and that's why he seldom shows his teeth when he smiles. He REALLY dislikes anything that reminds him of his time as a mouse -- cheese, mouse traps, Mickey Mouse, and so on. He's got a severe dislike of cats -- which why he's not crazy about having work with Sekhmet.
Speaking of cats, one of the interesting things that popped up our research is that traditionally cats are sensitive to the presence of the fay. When a cat is seen to be hissing at something unseen, it is said that the cat is sensing a faerie. Cagney attacking Garlon is not as far-fetched as you think!!

**Mandi dashes into the CR, slamming the door behind her. Outside, we can hear the sounds of explosions and shouting.**
Remember my aunt Donna's dog? She's baaa-ck! Of course, even a furball as big as she is should know better than to try to steal Bronx and Nudnik's dinner. (Not to mention that she kind of got dog hair all over George Harrison, who's really ticked off now...)
Robby> I think that was the Illuminati, and it really wasn't a win for the good guys, considering the basilisks hatched at the end anyway.
DumlaoX> Well....I am managing to survive a C++ Data Structures class this semester, and I have some knowledge of screwing with Borland 5 (although I won't be able to get to a compiler over break).
Doug> To add to your tally, I personally don't mind the RP. I agree with DumlaoX's rules since that would just make it easier to pick out amidst CR discussion.
Fleur> Missing brain? I know the feeling, although it's never resulted in me being *early* for anything....I had trouble getting on the Hotmail server around that time last night, but it seems to be working now. Of course, My Deja News has crashed...*growl grumble growl*
I too also hope Madoc doesn't get his claws in Alex. Of course, if Fox managed to blow him through a wall to save her son, it might be worth it. ;)
**TGS SPOILERS (well, sort of, but nothing earth-shattering)**
Stephen> Don't be surprised. You came out with an episode involving Jeffrey Robbins, a new Unseelie like Sehkmet, Puck getting to have some fun with flying nachos, Garlon getting the brunt of a ton of mouse jokes, an important twist in the story arc (if they know about Alex, they'll eventually trace it back to Titania, and if Madoc still wants her...), that was so well written, and you're surprised?? ;) Well, don't be. Where "Disobedience is concerned, your hard work has definitely paid off!
**END SPOILERS**
Stupid Movie Critics > While we're at it, let me see...the critics for the paper here, to give them credit, did like Titanic, The Truman Show, Men In Black, and As Good As It Gets, while trashing Godzilla and Armageddon (sorry, I got free tickets to both of them, and got my money's worth despite Keith David in the latter). But they're automatically biased against any and all Adam Sandler movies ("The Wedding Singer" was NOT a hack job!) and got overly nitpicky over ST: First Contact. I don't read their reviews anymore myself. If you do read movie reviews, take them with a very large bag of salt.
Fic hosting> I've got a Simplenet server, and I'm considering hosting new fics off my Garg page (if I get a chance to update in the near future) although if I get around to it, it's going to be pretty bare-bones. But I do have space, so if anyone wants to send me anything, I'll put up a temp archive too until the GFW archive is fixed. Updates over break will be tough, though; I'm stuck with Mom's 486 over Thanksgiving. They won't let me take my nice PC home even with the threat of roach dusting.
Anyway, must try to get Hotmail to behave. Missy was going to visit since she graduated from the college I'm attending, but now she can't do it. :( Oh well, I get to go home tonight anyway! Real food!
Have a great Thanksgiving, everyone!

Chatting with one another about various things, they all go inside the mansion to await the arrival of their forces' commanders.**

"Being a super-nerd, you know how to do these things. It does tire me out, though." "Let's get you on to bed, then. You know where Keith went?" "He wanted to talk to that big rat who came with the turtles about something. Have you seen Mist?" Doug shakes his head. "We better go find her before that cat does something bad."

The vote is in now, 3 would like for it to move (2 of those three are ambivalent towards the saga itself and have said so, but they're still counted on this side) vs. 11 who want it to stay. So, it stays. Just one request, let's all abide by DumlaoX's rules. I think we will anyway. As long as we do, I'm sure we won't get this thing out of hand. Thanks again to Dumlao for posting those.
Todd: No offense meant, taken if you thought there was one. I can understand your problems with clutter, hope the suggestions posted in here earlier help. Glad you have no problems with it other than that.
Deuce: Thanks for the ISP recommendation. Xoom definitely goes into my list of possibles. Now that I won't be hosting a CR, though, the space I need is less. However, I'll still be looking for a lot of it. The more I can put on there, the better my site will be. (Don't worry, there won't be any spam or porn.)
Wilek: Trust me, keeping up with three CRs is no sweat. I keep up with three as a poster (this one, the main one, and Christine's book's one), and four others (two Buffy CRs, a Highlander, and an Ally McBeal one) as a lurker. Now that's something to be amazed at. :) Thanks for telling me about the Gargoyle construction icon, I will look for it when I start coding up my page. For the record, though human construction workers will also be there. I'd like to show the two races working together.
SJ: Yep, RPs are weird and fun. I like that, too. Personally, I'm glad you didn't get to turn the party into a massive orgy. That would have started a flame war from this (pretty much) one-woman man. Thanks for the compliments about my wisdom. :)
Theresa: The joke with Mist below is my idea, but the thing with your cats wasn't, so please don't come after me. Glad our plot is keeping you interested.
Loki as Vogel: Yeah, that could be interesting to see. But I doubt it would happen in real life. Vogel choosing honor at the end of "Outfoxed" doesn't fit with Loki's personality in my mind.
Angela as Yoko: It always amused me to think of the main bad Quarrymen and other Gargoyles-haters as the Beatles' evil clones. George was Paul McCartney's, Castaway John Lennon's, Clifford Ringo's, and I guess that makes Banquo have to be George's. Since from what I've heard George was mainly a follower rather than a leader, that could be understandable. It particularly amused me to think of Margo as Linda McCartney's evil clone. Linda was sort of a shrew, after all, even if a good woman. :) Yoko could work well as either Angela or Fleance, but Angie of course works better. (I must stop calling her that!)
Firestorm: Really hope Netscape doesn't sell out to AOL. Oh well, if it's gonna happen, it probably won't any time soon. Netscape is suing Microsoft for trying to take over the Internet browser market right now, and appearing to be doing the same themselves by selling out to the other main browser company besides them and Microsoft won't look good for their case.
Stephen RS: No, you did a VERY good job. :) Thank you.
Coyote: Thanks for posting that link to Skydancer's fic. Everyone should read it, I think. The imagery alone makes it worthwhile.
Fleur: It's all a big misunderstanding on your part, sorry about it. Since you were in another party, as is Wilek, and Jaden and Coyote are currently with me, I only addressed them when I said they could stay with us or not when we head out. They both will, probably. You may come along, too, if you like. Or go somewhere else, wherever you want to take the saga. Your choice, since you control your RP character's actions. Same goes for Wilek and those with him. Clan Austin, though, will be sent back to its protectorate as soon as the party concludes. It is needed there.
DumlaoX: Glad you got the rules, looking forward to seeing how much editing you'll do on them. :) Thanks one more time for your support.
BTW, I've been thinking of hosting a MU* system on my website when I get it up with some Gargoyles areas. That's if I can learn to code it (I already know how to build mobs, items, and areas), and get a good staff to help out and of course people to play. As my fellow fans, what do you people think of this idea? Just curious. Prospective Gargoyle-related areas on the list now include the Eyrie Building, Cyberbiotics Tower (and Fortress 2), the Labyrinth, Avalon, Nightstone Unlimited, Quarryman HQ, New York itself (with Mr. Jaffe's store, Central Park, and the Clock Tower among its features as well as the city being connected to all the other areas), Doc's Funplex, Shadow Island, Gangland Neighborhood (with the gang members from my fanfic as mobs), and Location Classified (aka Illuminati HQ). The last four are locales from my fanfic saga. I'd also like to feature people from various fanfic universes as mobs in the areas if I can get the creators' permission, such as putting Jericho somewhere in the Nightstone Unlimited area, and George and Richard at Quarryman HQ. And of course I'd also do Brocken Castle, Maddox Technologies, and the Rockaway as areas if I gte permission from the authors of them. Anyone have any thoughts on this they'd like to share?
That's all for now, talk to y'all next time!
**RP SECOND HALF STARTS** Gubio and Doug hear a loud voice yowling "I'm in the mood for love," outside and look to see Mist singing it while perched on the top of a Mazda (I think that's the commercial). "Your cat's been in the punch," someone tells Gubio, who sighs in exasperation. He then walks out and picks Mist up, nodding goodnight to Doug as he strokes her into a restful state and then heads upstairs. Doug waves goodnight to them both and heads back to the party as the screen fades out. To be continued. **END RP IN THIS POST**

DOUG-- Got the rules you sent me. Thanx much. I'll do some personal editing on them then put up what we have for the official rules.
FIRE STORM-- Sending the package Wednesday? Great. heh, been wondering where that went :P As for the rooms, just give me the TGS ones. That's what I need now. Thanx.
BTW, what particular U2 songs are you looking for? I'll have him on the hunt ASAP.
WINDOWS-- Jeez, you people can handle a lot. Well, then, that goes down in my list of improvements to the site... once I get the darn script working :P

PARTY RP(Jim looks around. "I don't get it. Where is HE? I figured he would be here by now..." Jim is bothered. This guest was one of the crucial ones to the party's success, and he isn't here yet! And then, Jim hears the voice of the one he seeks. "Heeeeeeeeerrreeeeeee's PUCK!")END PARTY RP.
44 DAYS UNTIL TIMEDANCER SEASON TWO. 43 IF YOU DON'T COUNT THE THURSDAY IT COMES OUT.
Coyote- I don't think anyone knows who you were refferring to. Can I have my cybercookies now? I'm hungry. Oh all right, I'll wait until Wensday.
George Carlin said that? That's George all right...
And considering the strip poker game was the most... Frequented spot last week, I'd say you did the right thing starting it. I don't think anyone was interested in the party until that started. (Memo to self, book Demona to host strip poker game at next party, advertise this fact when time comes.)
DumlaoX-I WILL abide by the rules! Also, I've managed 18 windows at once.
Todd-Angela as Yoko? Hmm, well, we've never heard Angela sing, but if she's terrible, I think the shoe fits.
Wilek- Loki as Vogel? Not only does that sound fun, but likely! Too bad Loki has been trapped in the Phoenix gate until recently...
SJ- That party idea could see light outside the CR I suppose...
Zath- I have to agree,their hair probably grows back into shape immedatley to how it was cut when the spell was cast. But while it DOES explain that, you have to wonder why NO ONE'S haircut changed any over the 3 years of the show... Of course, the clothes didn't change much either...
Mandi- I don't think the chicken encounter a few weeks back counter as an Unseelie win... Wait, was the Unseelie involved in that, or the illuminati? SO many plot threads...
Fleur- I said the party would go until Sunday, and I would then pull closing ceremonies for my first post Monday. (Well, not counting the grab for a spot in the top ten...)
PARTY RP(Brooklyn scans the area for the ninja turtle he now hates. He sees a turtle, but he's not sure which one it is. They all look alike except for the girl. He gets ready to attack...)END PARTY RP

Before I forget to ask for the billionth time, is there any way I can get that awesome black Gathering '98 t-shirt? I saw the pic when I was fooling around this site only God knows when. (It has the small garg on the front and the white outlines of the gargoyles on the back.) I was hoping I could order one or that they would have one at the Gathering '99. Can anyone tell me anything?

**RP STUFF.**
*The TV switches itself on, revealling the Bird of Prey slowly coming into land on Jim's front lawn. Fleur, Traveller and CC, Shallow Mouth and Clan Austin step out and start walking towards the front door. Suddenly Traveller stops. His mouth opens and shuts repeatedly, but no words come out. Finally, he speaks. Well, screams.
"DRAGON!"
Draco the dragon, who is getting comfortable near the pool, looks up as Traveller starts running towards him.
Ever seen a twenty foot dragon try to hide behind a pot plant?*
**END RP STUFF**
Hi all! *starts looking around.* Has anyone seen my brain? For some reason, it's just not in my head today. I've lost the ability to tell the time, and arrived an hour early for work, I've had trouble spelling my own name, and I've been in an incredibly weird mood all day. So be warned - this post will probably get strange.
*SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS*
Oh, boy. Thank-you Spike, thank-you Coldstone. My boss thinks I'm crazy. She's probably thinking of booking me into a mental hospital for people who suddenly start laughing in a dead quiet office (not that today has helped convince her of my sanity). Lex had trouble hiding his laughter in front of Goliath? Know the feeling. Seriously, congratulations on a great story. *giggles* 'I HATE CHEESE! *chuckles* bubble gum bombs and crazy puppy-goyles. *slaps self* Better stop thinking about it, or the boss'll get worried again. Did spawn a little creativity demon though. During the battle, Puck gets _really_ mean, and introduces Garlon to Greebo. >:) All Discworld fans will understand.
Oh, but PLEASE, don't let Maddoc sink his claws into Alex. Unless, of course, it means the little cutie gets to fight back. <evil grin>
*END SPOILERS, BEGIN REPLIES*
Doug, Coyote> *scratches head* Um, where did I go??? Is this some big misunderstanding, or are you trying to tell me something? :)
Robby> Please don't end the party until Monday.
'every living thing on Earth will perish.' It _was_ true, but alright! I admit it! To quote a certain billionare: I've always wanted to say that.
Heather> Cute pic. With your little prob, um, the only thing I can think of is _very_ wild, and probably the result of too much Terry Pratchett and my currently AWOL brain, so don't feel at all obliged to take it seriously. Maybe your gargs could have some sort of magical talesman that allows them to 'possess' (for want of a better word) animals that are wearing a matching talesman during their stone sleep. Crazy, I know, but it's the best I can do at the moment. :) BTW, did you get my em?
Hey, has anyone tried to get into their hotmail accounts and been told they're doing server stuff and you can't get in now? I've been having so much trouble with them at the moment, I'm begining to think they don't like me. (can't imagine why... >:))
TTFN!
**YES, MORE RP STUFF**
*Leaving Traveller to his little dragon thing, Fleur, SM, the few remaining ST's and Clan Austin enter the mansion. Just before the TV turns off, there is a flash of light, and a robed man and an orangatan appear on the front lawn. Seconds later, a chest with hundreds of legs gallops over to them.*

Fire Storm> Ohmigod! I heard that too!! Makes you wish there was some way we could keep Netscape from selling out!! AOL is going to completely trash a perfectly good browser if they get their claws in it! And it's not like Netscape is inaccessible to AOLers anyway; just connect with AOL, minimize it and open Netscape! They don't have to go and buy the darn thing!
Excuse me. I just got the Creative Writing story from hell done. (18 pages!) And there was much rejoicing. ;)
**TGS SPOILERS TO COME! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!**
I loved "Disobedience"! I, too, thought it would be like "The Fox Came Back" and was happy to be proven wrong! Loved the Garlon mouse jokes (especially the flying nachos), Jeffrey Robbins admitting that he's known for a long time about Hudson, etc. etc. Sekhmet's a nice addition to the Unseelie, too, and I loved the "Miss Kitty" crack along with Christi's beautiful artwork.
Only one thing is nagging at me, and that's the Unseelie succeeding in yet another mission; they have another powerful artifact, a lot of Xanatos' files, and they know about Alex. The buildup is starting to get somewhat frustrating; flying nachos and bubble gum aside, it would be nice to see it come to something, or to have the Unseelie actually be thwarted at one of their tasks. But I think that's just me. :)

You know what? I almost never went onto the mainland into Algonac. Except to go to Henry's. But I mainly stayed in the islands inner canals and lakes.
I want to go back there SO bad! Going on 8 years of cottage withdrawl.

Fire Storm: No, the fire started near the State Park. My aunt nearly had to be evacuated, it started encroaching on her property (she lives along the river, backing into the park), but last I heard they had it under control with minimal casualties ... two firefighters are in the hospital with smoke inhalation injuries. But I know they were evacuating people as far into town as Washington street, which is only a hop, skip and jump away from where I am.

**RP!**The screen winks on to reveal Coyote underneath the tank late at night, with a flashlight and a Chilton's manual, looking over the undercarriage. He flips a couple of pages further into the book, then consults the undercarriage again.**
Oh, hi. I'm just checking up on the tank for now before we head out in the morning. We managed to finally keep Lina and the Gearhead away from each other, but the Gearhead's too drunk to look at this still, so I'm doing it because I have a higher tolerance for alcohol. Anyway ... ah, hell, who am I kidding? I can't fix this thing any more than I could fix the stealth bomber.
**Coyote rolls out from under the tank, sitting up. Rosanna comes out to join him in the cool night.**
What's up with you?
<"I think it's about time me and Lina got back to your fics.">
Oh, please stay for a while longer. I promise I'll try to keep Jammer away from you.
<"That's all right. Lina wants to leave, anyway, I think she's starting to sober up.">**Rosanna bends over and hugs Coyote.**<"Thanks for letting us out for a while.">
No, thank you for letting me. **Coyote lets go of her. She jogs over to Lina, who raises the Avalon stone. Though Coyote can't hear the spell, a flash takes the two gargoyles away.**
Okay, this is as good a time as any to make some replies. **END FIRST HALF RP!!**
Wilek: I like the CD, it would certainly make sense. And your corrections are duly noted.
Text-only room: That's the room I always use, but it's still slow. That's mainly because the computer I run is slow anyway ...
SJ: Ah well, too bad. Maybe next huge Noying party.
Starsinger: Crystal sounds like either of my cats (two) when we try to give them a bath ... except that's considering one of them absolutely *loves* water (she used to drink from a leaking sink faucet when it was leaking; she drinks by sticking her paw in one of my dogs' water dishes and licking the water off), she just doesn't like being completely wet.
RL interfering: Evidently Algonac has made the evening news here ... there was a huge forest fire out our direction, but not near where I am.
My mistake ... it led the newscast! It should tell you something about how small our town is ... I'm getting excited because our town's getting publicity, and it's because of an uncontrollable brush fire!! (Another indication: half of the newscasters can't even pronounce "Algonac!")
Don't worry, I'm not in the line of the flames (at least I don't *think* I am!), and I'm still uncooked.
Kitainia: Okay. But I would still be interested in meeting the genuine article next June, if she manages to get to the Gathering. I'm cool with this.
**RP!!**
<"Hey, Coyote!">
Jason! C'mon out, it's a lovely night!
<"Coyote, come on back in the house! They're starting the movies!">
Ooooh, movies! Gotta go. **Coyote jumps up, taking a passing glance at the tank across the street, at the other mansion.** Hmm ... that's odd. Oh well. **Coyote follows Jason into the house as the screen winks off.**

**RP** The screen comes on. Kitainia is entering the arcade, carrying a pile of clothes. She finds Tricia (still in her underwear) playing Goldeneye against Buffy, Venus, and Lex. Tricia sighs as she is gunned down for the three hundredth time and gives up. Kitainia gets her friend's attention and hands her the clothes. "You shouldn't have left them on the floor like that," she says. "Somebody stole your wallet and keys." Tricia growls and quickly puts her clothes back on. "Did you tell MrNoying to check everyone as they leave?" she asks, and Kitainia nods. "But we got a bigger problem," the half-garg then says. "Your boyfriend..." "We're seperated, remember?" "Yes, but do you realize what's it doing to Jammer? He can't be satisfied without you, he's getting practically every female here mad trying to find someone else with whom to snuggle up. We need to get him off to bed, now." Tricia nods in agreement, and they head off towards the punch table, where Jammer is still hitting on Carrie Canbea Pest. As they walk over, Kitainia addresses the CR. **END RP FOR NOW**
Heather: Sorry I didn't say this before, but nice pic of your African clan.
Coyote: Thanks for the info on Herbie. Don't worry about Stephanie, I think I can trust you to date each other in the RP as long as you can trust yourselves. Just remember you'll probably be interacting with her as portrayed by the RP posts of Doug and myself if anything does happen between you two, I don't know if I could entice my sister to come in here herself.
This RP Debate: Doug already knows my feelings on this, so now I'll tell everyone else. I fully support it for all the reasons before mentioned, especially the atmosphere and help with friendship and interpersonal skills that it provides. The opportunity to take out stress and enjoy oneself within it is also great. I say we keep it in here, it's a good thing. As long as we abide by the rules and don't go overboard, I think it will remain fun and interesting for all involved. Thanks to everyone who has given it their support.
DumlaoX: Thanks for posting those rules, I will abide by them forevermore. Thanks also for not throwing our fun activity out of here like I have the feeling some people might want.
Todd: Don't worry, you haven't ticked us off. Doug will say more in his next post to alleviate your concern. I agree that RP clutter can be a problem, one thing I always do to get around it is use the text-only comment room. I then scroll down as it loads and usually stop loading once I get to my last post. Since I almost always respond to every topic of interest I want to whenever I post, I only respond to new issues (and thus don't need to load the old ones over again) by loading the page this way.
Deuce: Our critic flamed Meet Joe Black, Titanic, and a whole bunch of other good movies, too. In fact, he's wrong about almost every film he reviews. Some films, like Kurt Russell's last one, he is right on the money about. On all the others, though, especially the good ones, he's just like the critic in your hometown.
Chaeslon's video: It's truly spectacular, if you haven't seen it already you really should.
Wilek: That might be neat to see, but I doubt it would really happen. Vogel could be an Illuminati member, though. I know in Doug's fanfic universe he is. (That will later be revealed to those who follow the universe and has already been implied, according to Doug.)
Zath's comment about Garlon makes me wonder something. Just how much is Garlon an evil Mickey Mouse? Oh well, I know that probably the intention of the TGS Staff when they created him. I have heard that they wanted a devious villain who could make himself invisible and teleport at will. What I'm wondering, though, is where they got the idea to also make Garlon the "Ratboy" of TGS and why he is. Don't get me wrong, I like it, it's great for his character development. I'm just wondering why him. If any member of the TGS Staff can say, please respond.
Jaden: That's okay, we won't either. That's the main reason why we're going to try and put the RP on hold until we all get back from wherever we go over Thanksgiving weekend.
Coyote again: Thank you for hosting Skydancer's fics, they're very entertaining to read and I was missing them. Too bad you don't have the space to also host everyone else's. Oh well, Chris Rogers WILL get his archive back up soon. I hope.
That's all for now, see y'all next time!
**RP** Kitainia and Tricia find Jammer at the punch table, chatting with Carrie Canbea Pest. "So, lovely lady," Jim Murdoch is saying to her, "I'm alone tonight and you seem to be alone, too. I thought we might want to, you know, hook up." "Wait a second," Carrie butts in. "I know you Ravens, I thought you were going out with Tricia." "We're seperated right now, she's very mad at me. Mostly because I accidentally stood her up. Got caught in traffic heading across town to get her for the last date (this happened in RL, and of course carried over to the RP), and she couldn't see that it wasn't my fault. I also made a few too many catcalls at her, Rosanna, and Demona during the strip poker game. So I'm free, and our host tells me you are also free. Want to be free together?" Carrie sighs and points a finger over his shoulder. Jammer turns around and sighs. "Tricia," he says, noting her bemused expression and hands on hips. "What's up?" "I'm ready to forgive you, Jim," his girlfriend replies. "On one condition. We go upstairs and don't come down till morning, starting now." She grins, a smile that Jammer returns. "Let us be off then," he laughs, and they head for the stairs. Kitainia watches them leave, and offers her apologies to Carrie as the screen fades out.**
**The picture changes to the mansion across the street, where Borgis and Butt-Borg's assimilated army of supporting characters has just arrived in their tank (from the "Virtual Stupidity" computer game), Anderson's camper, and Todd and Leroy's cars. Virtually every character from Beavis and Butthead (except Daria, the Spanish and science teachers, and the convience store clerk) has come along. The two Borg-morons laugh as they lead their army of new virtual slaves into the mansion to rank up with the Fundamentalist Extreme already therein. "Master Guod should be arriving soon," Butt-Borg says, stealing a look over at the party and momentarily regretting he's not there as the screen goes blank.**THIS POST'S RP ENDS**

**RP STUFF** Zath goes up to the bar to get a soda, but is stopped by the bar tender before even asking. "I think you've had enough for one night, kid."
"What do you mean? All I want is a ginger ale."
"Yeah right! You've been tossing back shots all night. You didn't really think that changing your shirt would fool me, did you?"
"I've been wearing this shirt ever sunce this party started and I haven't touched a drop of alcohol... well actually there was that punch, but I only touched it. I didn't drink any."
"Look, kid, don't make me have the bouncers throw your butt outta here."
"All I want is a Canada Dry. Is that too mu-" *suddenly Zath is interrupted by a very familliar, if slightly slurred voice.*
"Hey Jack, gimmie another double, an' don' be afraid ta fill it ta th' top this time..." The dumbfounded bar tender looks back and forth at the two identical people sitting in front of him. Sevarius Sr. appears and starts singing about how in just 7 posts he can make you a clone, while Zath just sighsand turns to post some comments.**END RP STUFF FOR NOW**
I must not be watching enough Gargoyles. The other day I heard something thumping up on my roof and it actually worried me. (turns out it was just a stray cat up there catching lizards. Kitty's RL counterpart was not amused. Who knew a car's tail could fluff up fatter than its head?)
Weird RP Creativity Demon> What if one of the Ravens got up in the middle of the night to get a drink of water and found Agent Ripowski down on the couch, snuggling with Kenny the CR Lawyer?
Kitiania> <<So Garlon really was a mouse once, huh? Wonder when we'll learn how he got changed back.>> It was probably right after Walt died.
Deuce> <<Thinks of Lonesome Dove: "Oh my God, Woodrow! They ****ed him!" "There must have been dozens...">> That's awful...*evil grin* I like it.
Wilek> Vogel=Loki? that would be interesting.
Theresa> When in doubt, blame it on Thailog, although I thought I saw some of the old Monty Python gang wandering around in here, and I seem to recall that they have quite a reputation for cat abuse. Look, there's John Cleese now. Get him, Kitty! *"grrrrrreow!" snarl, slash, slash, chomp, gnaw* Eewww... Perhaps someone should get a mop...
Okay, I have a weird question. It clawed its way up out of my brain during science class (we were dissecting squid in case anyone was wondering why I smell funny) and the stupid thing has been bothering me ever since. Is Macbeth's hair affected by the immortality spell other than turning grey)? If he shaved it off, would it grow back in the next few minuted? I know this sounds really dumb, but why else would he and Demona both go for 1000 years without changing their hair style?
Okay, I'll be quiet now and come back when I have something a little less silly sounding (don't blame me, I've only slept 2 hours in the last 32, and those 2 hours were very long ago indeed.). Bye all.
**MORE RP STUFF** Zath is just about to attack the clone, who is still trying to wheedle some booze, becaues not only is it probably part of one of Thailog's evil plans, but it's really obnoxious too, when suddenly a little yellow girl with spiky hair comes up and starts tugging on the clone's sleeve. "Hey, Thaz, that tofu burger you wanted is ready." Zath raises an eyebrow and watches as Lisa Simpson pulls the clone out of the room. As the scene fades out, the bar tender finally sees the error of his ways and gives Zath a ginger ale.**

Wilek You're right. Garlon would have no chance in my cathouse. The kittens are in the climb everything stage. One of them was going after the phone cord and I bad talked like a momma cat and he sessted and desisted. It also set off the other cats with strange looks at me.
RPing For the most part I tend to scan and read lightly. I'm mostly indifferent, but I do try to follow the plot. The party is fun. Strange, but fun.
By the way, if I every find out whose brilliant idea it was to cat-a-pult MY cats into the pool they will wish they only were a mouse to be played with. Crystal was not amussed at being in the water. Not to mention sleeping with a wet cat in your face.
Have fun kids.

Roleplays in another room? Hey don't ruin our fun!
I say that, if we follow the rules that our wise young friends, Doug and Dumlao, have set for us, and don't get too crazy, we should be fine. I for one love roleplays. It gives me a break from my usually tediously serious life. I mean, last week I had a conversation in here with a mini-fridge. A MINI-FRIDGE. That's about as weird as it get, folks! Roleplays are fun, they're exciting, they build writing/people skills, and they're cool. But I agree, we gotta follow rules and not get carried away.
Unfortunately, that means that the post I had planned where Jim's party degrades into a mass orgy will never see the light of day....Alas!

*RP* [The Sentinel-class landing craft and SJ's TIE scimitar are parked on Jim's front lawn, and everyone is at the party. Wilek and several others are coming out of the SW:E1 and ST:I screening room. Wilek: "That was the absolute coolest thing I've ever seen! I especially loved--" He realizes that he's now speaking to the entire comment room and shuts up so as to avoid spoiling the movies for everyone else.] I kinda fast-forwarded the RP a bit, since there's only a week left for the party. Don't worry everyone, nothing kewl happened that I didn't mention. *RP*
****"DISOBEDIENCE" SPOILERS AHEAD. SIT! STAY! GOOD PUPPY. WANT A COOKIE?****
GREAT EP!! I was ROTFLMTO throughout most of it, especially Graeme's fight with Sekhmet and Puck's fight with Garlon. I had no idea Puck could hold his own so well in a fight. Creativity demon: Garlon vs. the mutates! Or Garlon vs. our own Theresa! LOL! And the art was great too! Interesting angle on how Sekhmet was so pleased that someone was still worshipping her. Is that one reason the Unseelie are trying to take over--so they'll be worshipped by mortals again? Finally, I thought it was interesting that Ariana is a Sailor Moon fan (I know that you didn't actually say the name, but there is only one group of cartoon characters that can be described as "sailor senshi"!), especially after seeing that one Halloween pic. :)
****END SPOILERS****
Creativity demon: Wouldn't it be interesting if Vogel turned out to be Loki? :)
Everyone whining about how big the room's getting> Try using text-only. It always loads in something less than a minute on my system, and my system can't connect at anything higher than 30-something kbps. (Right now it's at 16.8 and it's not giving me any trouble.)
Doug> I agree with you on all the positive aspects of the RP, I know it's great practice for my own fics. However, if an RP room were made, that means I'd have THREE rooms to keep up with. Eep. Speaking of under construction icons, I remember seeing on someone's web site such an icon with a gargoyle doing the constructing. If I ever get a web site, I'll ask permission to use that. I don't remember what site it was on, though...
Dumlao X> I agree with your rules and will abide by them. I already have been anyhow, but I thought I'd make it official. ^_^ Also, I don't know how many windows I'm capable of having open, but my record is like 4 or 5 and I usually do 1 or 2.
Todd> Your last post made me wonder what the Beatles would actually think of gargoyles--although from some of the things I've heard about that bunch, I'm not sure we'd *want* them as allies. Yikes. Believe me, this party is tame compared to some of the disgusting tricks they've pulled.
Coyote> Minor correction to all my WCC characters: They're not from 1998. They're from 1997, from the period between the TGS eps "Out Of Joint" and "Reprisals Part 1". I figured this might have a major effect on how you wrote them. I posted it here because I didn't want to use e-mail for something so minor. :)

A couple things that couldn't wait:
DOUG> You made some valid points there. *thumbs up* For the record: I have nothing against the RP. I wouldn't mind it being moved into another room, though, so I'll side w/ Aris. As for an ISP, try Xoom. 11 MB of free space (increases every few months as they compete with GeoCities) and lots of great features.
DUMLAOX> Netscape, MSIE, and every other browser I've ever encountered (and that's been a LOT), has this hard-coded eccentricity. For everyone else, I suggest typing your post in a third-party word processor (Notepad or SimpleText works great), then copy-and-paste into the textarea. Also, I have four windows open (in Netscape 4.5/Win98).

RP - My only objection to it was that it tended to swell up the room to an unwieldy size; I've no problems with it other than that. I hope that I haven't offended any RPers here (Doug, for example) with my remark; I just get concerned when the room reaches a 200K size by the middle of the week.
GEORGE HARRISON - While it is indeed a Beatles name, and the Beatles used to be known as the Quarrymen (when I mentioned that in the gargoyles newsgroup once, one of the other people there commented in disgust, "I'm never listening to the Beatles again!"), the presence of a Quarryman with that name is pure coincidence; I know because I was the one who suggested that his first name was George and I definitely didn't have the original George Harrison in mind when I suggested it. (Incidentally, one of our staff members once commented - although I forget whom - that after the way Angela served as an influence on Richard breaking up the Q-men in "Turncoat", the remaining Quarrymen would probably start nicknaming her "Yoko" :)

Also, send me what you have on rules for RP, please. I'd like to add it to a CR rules compilation I wanna make up. Thanx.
CYRWAY-- Yes indeed, George Harrison was a member of the Fab Four a.k.a. The Beatles. After the band breakup, he went on to create the film company Hand Made Films, which was a production company responsible for one of my favorite films, Nuns On The Run.
RULES-- Well, so far so good when it came to the responses. Glad no one has jumped down my throat about them yet :)

Deuce: Yes, I own a Dodge. Specifically, Lexington ('85 Charger). No need to feel sorry for me, it's a halfway decent car, it just needs some little things ... like working door handles ... an un-blocked heater core ... a non-leaking gas tank ...
DumlaoX, Doug re RP rules: I will abide by these rules as they are laid out. And just so you know, I went by Robby's description of the party as the wildest anyone's ever seen as a justification to include the strip poker game. Not only that, but it gave me a chance to write out-and-out comedy, something I don't usually get a chance to do. I mean, you have to admit a lot of funny stuff can evolve from a strip poker game.
As for anything pornographic, if you noticed I never got explicit. Let me tell you guys, I have an incredibly over-active imagination and could have gone into detail ad nauseum, but I didn't, because good taste dictated that I didn't. Double entendre and innuendo, as long as it's not explicit to the point of there's nothing to wonder about anymore, I would not consider pornographic. Look at my last RP post: you couldn't tell whether Lina and the Gearhead were killing each other or having sex, beause *I never described the sounds coming out of the room.*
Y'know, suddenly I have the image of an old George Carlin routine where he talked about "I'd rather have my child watch two people making love than two people trying to kill each other." If I recall right, he took this one step further, proposing that we replace the word "kill" with the f-word in all those old Westerns we love. ("All right, Tex, we're gonna **** ya now ... but we're gonna **** ya slow!")
And now that I've let that out of my brain, where it can't consume any more of my brain cells, I think it's time for me to shut up.

SOROW: Click my name or go to http://crystalcove.simplenet.com/castle/ to access Chaeslon's site. Enjoy!
MrNoying: You're right, the party is going to be attacked. The plan right now is, we go to sleep Wednesday, wake up Saturday night, and the attack comes when the new ep is posted. Guess it will happen during the closing ceremonies. Perfect timing, Asil! Thanks for your excellent comments on and support of the RP. Also, thanks for the party. It was a lot of fun.
DumlaoX: Same thanks goes to you. I also thank you for posting the rules. Kitainia and I will definitely abide by them all. From now on, something like **RP WARNING** will start our RP paragraphs, and something like **RP OVER FOR NOW** will be at the ends. Pornography and flames were never planned to be in the RP, your rule doubly enforces our plans to keep them out. And we will of course abide by our own rule of talking about many other things in addition to the RP (that's why Kitainia hasn't made her post of the day yet, she's waiting for more about which to speak). In addition, we'll keep up our RP courtesy rules of only one post related to it per day, and story format. I think right now the RP is definitely going to stay in here, as long as we abide by the rules. Thanks to everyone who commented or will comment for their support of a good thing (or provoking said support).
DumlaoX again: Thanks for the mention of help from Chris. I'll definitely talk to him for advice when I design my page. I'll also contact Christine, Aimee Major, and Gore, they have the biggest and best Garg-related sites on the Net after GFW. About the staying text, I have no problem keeping two Netscape windows open. I do it all the time. It's just really annoying when you type a whole scene-by-scene critique and review of an ep with some really nice comments, then accidentally hit two keys and it all gets wiped. Then you have to type it all over again, and can hardly remember what you wrote. I'll start using Copy on my text for security after I finish each paragraph, that should help guard against accidental wipes. Thanks for telling us why you can't really get text to stay in here, guess we'll have to do without. But thanks for the effort just the same.
Later all,

ROBBY-- Don't worry about the people coming to hurt you for counting down the days till TimeDancer. I got your back on this one :)
STAYING TEXT-- Um, guys, one thing about the request to have the text be there if you hit the wrong buttong then hit "Back" to go finish things. It cannot be done. Yes, I know, it happened before and I was lucky enough to experience this. But, honestly, it didn't happen all the time and I used all types of browsers to do this. My guess is that it might have either been a good bug in the CGI script or a bug in the browser being used but whatever it was, recreating it is gonna take a LONG time. Believe me, I'll work to go find it, but chances are that finding it again is gonna be slim to none.
COMMENT ROOM FIXES-- Just waiting for a little help from Gorebash on the script (he's a busy man, ya know). Once that's done then the rest of the little fixes requested will be implemented.
QUESTION-- Is there anyone in here that can't handle 2 browser windows being open at once? Just curious.
TGS CR ARCHIVE-- Thanx everyone for the help. Right now I'm waiting for a package from Fire Storm to see what he has in terms of comment room archives. Depending on what's there, I might take up offers from others in here to get a copy of what they have. I need these things so I can make a section in the site where we have a full history of our little comment room. That way, if there was anything we wsnted to look up from previous rooms, it's there. Heh, it was one of the most requested things we had, so why not :P
DOUG-- If your site has gargoyle related info in it, you could talk to Chris Rogers (crogers@imp.wyvernweb.com) about some webspace.
RP-- Talk about this has come up frequently in this room. Might as well hear what the site maintainer has to say about it.
Honestly, I don't read it much. I personally search for work related stuff among people's posts. However, in no way shape or form am I advocating that all RP be moved to another room entirely. Hell, if this place was just PURE TGS and nothing else, then we'd be almost barren. Even though I don't read it, I enjoy the fact that people do come in here and share a thing or two.
However, there are times where it does get out of control and the post is nothing BUT the RP at hand. That isn't a good thing because people who don't like the RP have to wade through lots of stuff to get what they want.
Therefore, thses are the official rules for the TGS comment room. Read them carefully and abide by them.
-Everything is welcome here to be posted except pornography, pornographic links, useless spam, viruses, and flames to another person (which would start huge flame wars). Breaking this important law the first time warrants a warning from me. A second time this law is broken by the same person, it earns a ban from the room. The unbanning of said person can only be done directly by me and it's gonna take a lot for that to happen (Hell, it takes a lot to piss me off in the first place, let alone get banned).
-Role Playing (RP) is allowed in here without any restrictions save one. The RPing MUST be accompanied with text about something else NOT related to the RP. The other restriction is that it does not involve gratuitous descriptions of sex (i.e.- you can have Demona shoot someone's head and play strip poker but you can't have her run around in the nude).
-Anytime RPing is done, it must be accompanied by a header and an ending indicating that RPing is being done. This header and ending is to be done in all caps and accompanied by asteriks.
-Anytime spoilers for TGS episodes or fanfic is being done, it too must be accompanied by heading and ending warnings done in all caps and accompanied by asteriks.
-All comment room pictures can be used by anyone posting except one pic: DumlaoX. That is my personal pic and is used only when I post.
-Final rule: ENJOY! These rules are just meant to keep order. Besides, no one ever does anything in here so far that has broken any of these rules and I doubt anyone will. I just wanted to give an official word on things people are questioning around here.
And that is that. I might go post these rules somewhere in the site. I dunno. Right now I just needed them said.
Till next time...

(Jim is talking to Wierd Al. "So, when's the Cat-A-Paulting?" "Sorry Al, someone started that early, you missed it." "Aw shoot.")
Judging from some of the RP setups, I think the party is going to come under attack soon. I should warn Jim... Nah, he didn't invite me... But, since at the party, most of the guests are finishing what they are doing, quite a few are leaving now, and only a few haven't yet arrived, I've decided the party will end come next Monday. So, it goes until the end of the week, and when the new story goes up next Sunday/Monday, I'll cover the closing ceremonies. Do whatever you want until then, there's still rides and a rodeo and a movie theater with preview of ST:I and SW:EO, and I think the strip poker is still going, without Demona. Enjoy.
Jaden- I know how your server going down feels. Mine fritzes constantly.
SJ- I know Pi is used in higher level math, but what is the point of a number that has no end?
Coyote- KITT? As in the one from Knightrider? THAT brings back memories... Especially bad ones about TEAM KNIGHTRIDER... Ick...
Cyrway- Someone knows their cars...
Firestorm- Go ahead and lurk, it saves time in your schedual. It's probably not a good thing that i generally post twice a day...
RP Poll- I don't mind it at all, and the writers are getting better at not overdoing it. Despite the added RP of the party last week which most people participated in, (And face it, most of you had fun with it!) the whole site stayed well under 400K, and it was a long week too. (The page didn't get cleared until right before Midnight!) I wouldn't go to another room just to RP though. And I am trying to keep my bits under control, with no more than six opening and closing lines from a post. I make it even less when its a short post. But I think after the party ends Monday, I'm going to take a break from it for a while anyway. So my vote is, keep on doing it, it isn't hurting anything, and its kinda fun.

Hi to all!
Doug> What is the link to Chaeslon's site? I really want to see that music video and I couldn't find his last post.
****SPOILER'S AHEAD****
I absolutely loved Disobedience! I really liked how they had more character development on the Twins, Lex, and the garg beasts. And my favorite part was when Brooklyn actually suggested that they leave the castle. Wouldn't that have been awful? I think the Twins are so cute. But I still say that Brooklyn and Demona need to have their little apology session.

One other thing: (A Shameless but well-dserved Plug) Chaeslon has just created a very nicely done Gargoyle music video and posted it on his site. You all ought to go take a look at it, the link to his page is on his last post in the main CR. Once you're in his page, enter the laboratory and from there, download and watch the "Flight of the Gargoyles" Internet video! Later,

**The screen comes on. Doug finds Orion talking to the vampires. "So what do you people really want?" he asks them, and they grin. "I want the world to bow down to me, to let me grin as I drink its blood," laughs Spike. "Oh, please, Spike, don't tease me," Drusilla grins. "I just want to be happy," Angel shrugs. "And because of my curse if I ever am, I'll go bad." "That's a terrible curse," Orion sighs. "I'd take it off you, but I don't think your creator would like that too much." Doug taps the clerice on the shoulder. "We have to get on to bed," he says. "Big day tomorrow." "Alright," Orion agrees. "I seriously doubt I'd get anything interesting out of this possible conversation." Spike and Dru both snarl at him as he walks off. Doug turns to face the CR.**
Holiday-Driven Stories: I don't know if I'll be doing any of those myself, unless I can fit it into my universe's main action. Character and conflict are just easier to write and more interesting for me. BTW, in case anyone's wondering, the next saga installment is coming along well. This is going to be another Agony-related one, but it will be entirely told from Brooklyn's point of view as he encounters the immortal time and again while timedancing "Through the Ages." The story will also answer a lot of questions about Agony, Seth, Silvan, VJON, Graeme and Changeling, and how Brooklyn knew of the danger to the Gargoyle race of which he warned Duval ("Final Hunt"). It will bring some Buffy elements into the universe also, setting the stage for a future crossover. Connor McLeod will show up again, too. I'm doing the series of events in pretty much historically chronological order, from the time of Cain to 2038 (by which time my saga will be over, probably). Right now, I'm up to the scene in 1789.
Coyote: No, Kitainia and I have never seen Love Bug. But we still thank you for the info on Herbie, I guess he's another sentient car character. Glad you like the plan to cut off the RP for the holidays. I think a certain couple of folks in here will like it, too. Let me respond to them below.
Aris and Todd: I appreciate your comments about RP clutter, and your proposal to have another CR built for it alone. I think that could be a pretty good idea, it would nip all the complaining about it in the bud before it even began. Not to mention giving RP-lovers like MrNoying, Wilek, Kitainia, and myself a place where they can air their stories without fear of people shouting them down for cluttering up the room. I know that's killed a few good stories of the kind told in the RP before, like the TGS Lawyer on trial one MrNoying had. I support the idea, I've even proposed setting up a seperate RP Comment Room for it myself when I build my webpage over the X-Mas/New Year break. So, don't worry, your idea is not going to be totally flamed herein. I just have a few concerns I feel I should air.
1. It is my opinion that chat and comment rooms should be places of interaction between people, not just places where people make comments on one thing and that's it. It's good for a CR to be started off dedicated to one thing (TGS in the case of this place), and for posters to always keep it in mind when making their posts, but at the same time it's not good to restrict your thoughts and postings to just talking about that one thing when you're in here. That would get boring fast. I know what you're going to say, the RP is also just one thing, and there are way too many posts dedicated to it and it alone. I have said many times before that I don't like that, that it needs to stop happening in here. In fact, the RP rules I made and will keep on following clearly state that RP posts are not to be made if that's all you have to talk about, if so I've asked people to please hold off the posts. That has kept the clutter down some, already, and will continue hopefully.
2. This RP is a good thing for many of us. For me as a writer, it helps me build my skills, just like fanfic. Developing the plot as well as all the heros and villains and the other characters is good practice for me (I too intend to get published someday) and I assume other writers as well. We can also entertain people by doing it, and I know that most writers will agree that a story is wasted if it can only be read by the one who writes it. A story that's worked on in a group like this also builds creativity and interaction skills amongst us all, that's also good help for our writing skills. I'm not asking for comments on the RP, people's interest is enough. I'm just taking note of the good things it does for writers like myself.
3. More than that, it also does good for some people whose only friends may be the folks in here. I know I'm not one of those, but probably at least a few of those involved in the RP are. The interaction we provide them with, the friendship and all it entails, can really do good things for these people, they can find the friendship and camaraderie in it that they can't in real life. Of course, the opportunity to vent by bringing in their enemies and taking them out also helps them clear their minds of anger and angst. As long as we all keep doing this intelligently and fairly, I don't think it will insult anyone. The pure friendship it provides, the talking alongside it about various things, these are good reasons for the RP to exist. I know that the people whose few friends are in it only probably appreciate it a lot.
4. If we were going to take it somewhere else, where would it be? I know, my eventual homepage has been proposed. But I don't even know where my page will be yet, let alone if I'll be able to find an ISP that'll give enough webspace to set up something as big as the RP and archives of it might in all probability become in a room devoted to it alone. I also wonder just how many people would come to a room devoted only to the RP saga, I think one or two people have said before in here that they definitely would not be doing that. Diversity of interests and topics is good, I wouldn't want to create a CR where that is lacking and thus the clientele of posters and lurkers would only be relegated to a chosen few. That is the last thing I want, and I'm sure it's the same for the other RP posters. After all, if you can have Internet friends, why not have a whole bunch of them and new ones at least every now and then?
So, in short, this RP is clutter, I agree. But it is definitely not useless clutter. It can easily be avoided through the use of brackets, asterisks, and other warnings around its seperate paragraphs and people can skip on to the things about which they care. I know it makes the room huge, the rules set down before (like only one RP-related post per poster per day, no RP postings if there's nothing else to talk about, don't take the battle into the CR, put it in its own sectioned-off paragraphs, keep it in a story format where the action and character development builds on itself, and so on) should serve to keep it running smoothly and from going out of hand. But of course it still clutters the room up that way, so you two and any who agree with you will still be complaining about that. Your complaints are valid, but please consider the good things RP does for this room's people as well as the bad before you start the debate. I'll say it again. It may be clutter, but it's by no means useless for the people involved. It helps keep us friends in here, not just fellow fans of TGS. This interest is very good for the CR, as opposed to it being just a place to comment about one thing.
However, the sheer size of this RP story, and its making the room long and difficult to load, is a valid concern. So maybe it should be moved elsewhere for that reason. I think there are more people in here who support the RP's presence rather than oppose it, I'd like to do a poll of opinions from all the posters on this issue to find out just how many are on each side (Right now it's 2 to 2, opposed are Todd and Aris, for are Kitainia and myself). Also, when you people do poll, please say whether or not you think it would be a good idea to have the saga moved out (I already know Todd and Aris's opinions), if enough people say yes I will try and set the room for it up on my soon-to-be-created site over the Holidays. Thanks to all who respond for your comments and possible support.
Speaking of my homepage, I'm in the process of learning HTML, that's why I haven't started work on it yet. I also need to know where I can find a good ISP to host my page. The page at FortuneCity was taken down after the system crashed while I was updating one time too many, I'm hoping to find a better place when I build my real page. Somewhere with reliable status, large webspace amounts (the page is after all, going to hold my fanfic, any fanart based on it, personal profiles of Kitainia and me, lots of links, and now possibly an RP-devoted CR), and good security against viruses and such. If anyone has any ISP recommendations to make, please do. I'd also like to know if anyone can tell me where to find CGI and HTML files for things like a CR, under construction icons, etc. I already know I'll be using the same CGI as this page uses for my comment room if I make one, and wonder if I should e-mail Gorebash asking for it or if I can somehow just download it from his site. Any help my friends in here can provide on this, and getting my webpage set up, will be appreciated in the extreme. :)
That's all for now, I leave you with the last bit of today's RP happenings from me.
**Doug walks over to the mansion TV room to see Agent Janice Ripowski watching the news. Her new friends Jane and Daria are beside her, making snide remarks about the party and the RP's every aspect as well as the report. Agent Ripowski is taking notes on it all. "The city of Highland has undergone a mysterious evacuation today," the reporter is saying, "with only a few residents left behind. They all say they're glad the people who left are gone, that a lot of the annoyances are now out of their lives. One must question, though, where have all the so-called annoying people gone? Stay tuned to Channel 14, and we shall try to find out." Doug catches Janice's attention and tells her about the plan to go sleep off all the partying and then leave. She beams a bemused smile back at him, and says, "It's about time. Enough craziness has gone on here tonight. There is lots of other work to be done." "I know," Doug replies. "I hope you'll be going on to sleep soon as well, we'll need you to chronicle our saga and report on our conduct and practices through that clipboard of yours." "Soon as this program's over," Janice answers him, turning back to the news. "Good night." "Night," Doug says, walking back to the main party room as the screen goes blank. To be (in all probability) continued next time.**

** FOOD SPOILERS!! **
Chicken tastes awful starting about a day after cooking (and any time before).
** END FOOD SPOILERS!! BEGINNING STORY SPOILERS! FOR THE FIRST TIME IN WEEKS, I'VE READ A STORY EARLY ENOUGH TO WARRANT THIS BANNER. YEAH! ANYHOW, IF YOU'RE READING THE CR BEFORE THE STORY, YOU HAVE PRIORITY PROBLEMS. GO. READ. COME BACK. **
Wow. Amazing. Spike, Coldstone, you guys are to be comemmorated(sp?). That was a fantastic story. Thank you so much for the inclusion of Brooklyn's kids; they are far too underdeveloped, IMO. Good to know that Robbins is clued in about the gargoyles, too. As for Garlon and Puck, I was LMAO the whole time, just imagining Puck in a bad mood. Spike, the illustrations were terrific. That is one hell of a gift you have.
** THAT'S IT FOR SPOILERS. AND YOU'RE STILL HERE? GO READ THE DAMN STORY!! **
Now, some replies:
KITAINIA re: EOTS REVIEWS> I know what you mean. I personally HATE our local reviewer, because he slams every movie that I've ever liked (w/ a few exceptions), and then he just LOVES movies that aren't worth 1/10 of their budget.
SJ> Uh, your declaration of pi degraded after two digits. It's actually closer to 3.14159265358979.... (I know, I'm picky).
COYOTE> You own(ed) a Dodge? My condolences. :-D
DUMLAOX re: FIXING CR FORM> Doug has a good idea, but from what I know of HTML, I'm not sure if that would work. Anyway, if you do fix it, could you maybe double or triple the height of this little window? It's a little cramped, and editing huge images is really tough. Thanks a billion!

Oh, and one more thing!
I'm officially starting my own fiction, involving some people you'll recognise from my fics.
Nexus will include Kade and Chris.
Torn Souls with Nate Lovecraft and Artemis, Tristan, and Minerva Ryder (who appears sort of an Una Person type of deal, if anyone else reads Moorcock.)
Okay, back to the Gargs...more specifically, Coyote's Fairline...
Heh...Herbie never talked, and KITT didn't have an additude...Christine didn't talk either, but she gave me the creeps. I created Artemis because I love Pontiac GTOs, and my father has had one even before I was born, same year as Artemis, only light blue and a convertible (and the original engine). Another thing is, Elisa's Fairline is an automatic. Back in those days (1958) automatics were a luxury...and, if anyone has ever noticed, she has a column shift...at first I thought it was a three-on-a-tree, but if you ever noticed one instance I think during the Awakening series, there's a closeup of her hitting the gas. No clutch, unless Ford had a "slap shift" back then, like some VW Bugs in the early 70's. (Had one of those too.) Also, talking to my uncle, who's a county sherrif for Kennebec County, police aren't allowed to have standard-transmission cars, at least in Maine. Of course, since when did I follow rules?
Back to Herbie...anyone ever actually read about the Beetle in the Outklaw's driveway? (Now in the Mason's Driveway?) It's a 1963 ragtop...there is a reason for that...
I'se gonna back to work...I'se rambled anough as it is...
Stay tuned...

**The screen lights up to reveal a door. Loud shouting is heard on the other side, then a flash comes through the cracks in the doorframe. Finally, the door opens, and Coyote comes out.**
Whew! Oh, hello. Well, after a lot of shouting, not to mention Lina casting some weird spell, I finally managed to get the whole story out. It seems that both Lina and the Gearhead had both been imbibing rather heavily in the spiked punch, and well, they were too drunk to know what was happening, one thing led to another, and the next thing you know they're waking up in the guest room. I hate to think of what might have happened during the time they can't remember.
Anyway, while everybody cools off, let's make some replies!
Doug: Good plan. While I won't take any offline time over Thanksgiving, I will take a break from the RP, to allow myself some extra time for other things.
Kitainia: *LOL* Nice CD there! I can just imagine that happening!
You're kidding! You've never seen "The Love Bug?" That's where Herbie came from. And I think we can get along without KITT for a while.
Regarding Stephanie ... you can inform her that I too enjoyed the dancing. As for any qualms I might have about dating, I don't think I would have any. Anyone who's ever met me knows I have the patience of Job when it comes to everything ... except driving. ;)
Ravyn: Come along, join the party! If you need a lift, I've got plenty of spare space in the tank.
Starsinger: I was going to put up a Thanksgiving story, but it seemed out of place, so the next holiday that will bring a G:CM volume will be Christmas. I have something in particular in mind for Christmas ... but there's three volumes to come before then. (I'll also try my best to have a New Year's volume, too)
Cyrway: Thanks for the comments. Although ... you say Artemis doesn't like Fords. What'll happen if she gets around Steve Bluestone's Cadillac? ;)
***RP!!!***
What's that weird noise?
**Coyote listens to the door. The faint noises within are enough to cross his face with anger. Just then Jason and Rosanna walk up.**
<"What's up, Coyote?">
They're at it *again!* I just got done chewing them out over this deal!
<"Well, you know Lina can't control that stone very well.">
Yeah. So?
<"I think it's acting stranger than usual. I heard Lina say something to the extent of 'screw this.'">
**Coyote's eyes widen.** Ohhh, no! Come on, guys, we've gotta hose them down before they get too far!
**Coyote, Jason and Rosanna bust down the door of the guest room just as the screen winks out.**

Sevarius Jr.> Well, you *could* have used a little more accuracy in writing Pi. I'm not mathematically inclined by I do know that it begins with 3.1415....
DumlaoX> I have about 8 archived TGS pages. I'll have to check them and tell you which weeks they are, then I'll tell you the dates and you can ask for the ones you want.
New story> Haven't had the time to read it yet. Will do so soon.
Past story> Haven't had the time to review it last week, and this week will be even busier. Hopefully I'll manage to write it in time.
Is it possible that a comment room for Gargoyles RP alone is created? I think it would help everyone if it got separated, so as not to overwhelm this board.

**The screen changes to Kitainia, who is escorting Stephanie to bed. "Did you enjoy the party?" she asks her sister, who is still recovering from her alcohol-induced tipsiness. "Yes," Stephanie nods. "Coyote's an incredible dancer, much better than Keith. I just can't believe I threw up all over Methos, he's going to hate me now." "Don't worry," Kitainia tells her. "I'm sure he knows that even immortals have a little accident now and then. You can apologize to him tomorrow, he'll understand." "You really think so?" Stephanie asks as Kitainia motherly tucks her in. "I know it," she replies, pecking her sister on the forehead. "Get some sleep now, good night." She then turns to head back downstairs, while doing so she addresses the CR.**
Well, Lady Mystic, now you know you aren't the only one who has to be a mother to her younger sister. Even if mine is a college student and only a few minutes under my own age, she still has frequent times when she needs a mother. And since Mom isn't in town, more often than not, I have to fill in. :)
Coyote: Thanks for the info on Fairlane. Who is Herbie? Also, some of you may be wondering why Knight Industries Ten Thousand isn't with us in this RP. It's because we gave him back to the Foundation for Law and Gov't, who claimed they needed him more. Oh well, we'll manage just fine even if we are one vehicle short!
Also, don't worry about Stephanie. I think she enjoyed the dance with you. I also know you're a good guy, I have nothing to worry about if she's with you. On the other hand, you very well might have qualms about dating someone like my sis! I think I've told everyone before about her chronic optimism and egomania. She is also an immortal Highlander in RP personality, and this drinking problem of hers she is currently coping with both in the RP and real life. Oh well, she is still a nice girl. And a good person, no matter what. I'm confident that whatever happens, she will pull through.
"Enemy of the State": Nice movie. Great preformances from Will Smith and Jon Voight. Gene Hackman's character I didn't really get that well, but he was good, too. I also liked the two female characters in the show. Good plot, action, humor, and character development as well. Our newspaper's main movie critic totally blasted the movie (mostly for what he thought were outdated themes), I'm glad he was wrong. When Will Smith gets Oscar-nominated for this, I will be wanting to see Chris Garcia's (the critic) face!
DumlaoX: Please fix the problem Doug mentioned, if you can. I know it's a hassle to get it set up, but think of the hassle it will save all us posters who have trouble hitting the wrong keys while typing after it is implemented. More people than Doug and me have noticed and are at least slightly disturbed by this, right? <raises her hand>
Comments on the new ep: (Spoiler Warning!) Great job, Spike and Coldstone! I must confess that when I read the synopsis DumlaoX gave, I was expecting the ep to be like "The Fox Came Back." Very glad it was not! This ep was not only very funny with all its jokes about cats, computers, misbehaving gargoyle beasts, and especially mice, it also had great character development and plot. I liked what was done with Robbins, Arianna, Lex, Hudson, Nudnik, Owen, and Graeme. It was also good to see George again, and view his fellow Unseelie Halfling's great personality quirks. Loved what happened to Casey when Lex put the computer worm inside his head. Sekhmet is also a great new villainess, I can see her and those were-cheetahs going up against both Arthur (that Earl Spencer reference clearly shows that she is a British noblewoman, so she very will might) and Farah Maku in upcoming eps. The way Graeme defeated her was my favorite scene, he is quite the ingenious little garg. :)
The fight between Puck and Garlon was also very well-written and coreographed. I liked how they interacted with one another, and the good character development on both. So Garlon really was a mouse once, huh? Wonder when we'll learn how he got changed back. I also have a creativity demon about him I better share:
[Scene: Garlon is being held at gunpoint by Elisa.
Garlon: "Now, now, detective, you know those bullets aren't iron. They'll hardly do me any harm."
Elisa: "No. But this will." She grins as she pulls out Cagney and throws him in Garlon's face.
Garlon: "AAAAAAHHHH!!"]
Hehehe. I also really enjoyed those great pics, both of Sekhmet and the gargoyle kids. Your talent for illustration is as great as your one for writing, Spike. Congratulations to all on the TGS Staff, especially Spike and Coldstone, for another great episode. Thank you very much for sharing it with us. (Spoilers at an End.)
Ravyn: Well, if you and Alex want to come with us, we'll be happy to have you along. Stick around the party for now, we'll be here for quite some time getting everyone to bed, then ready to go after our Thanksgiving "nap." After that, you can come with us to the upcoming conflict at the circus. I have a feeling that with the bad guys we'll be encountering there, we'll need all the help we can get. :)
Okay, that's all I have to say for now. See everyone in here next time.
**Kitainia reaches the living room and watches as Doug and the two big bearded bikers (Al is a brown-beard, Dave is a blonde) carry Boris upstairs. "What happened to him?" she asks Elena. "He drank too much and got rowdy," the Hispanic Raven sighs. "Your boyfriend had to knock him out." "Ach," Kitainia grimaces. "I just put our other drunk member to bed. Is everyone else okay?" "Shap and Lathrop have already gone up to bed, I guess Steph and Boris have joined them now," Elena replies. "Shauna's playing darts with the turtles, and Orion's discussing something with those vampires who just arrived. Gubio and Keith are hard at work on the Mech outside with Mist, Agent Ripowski's made some new friends she's talking to, and Tricia was headed for the video arcade last I heard. I think I saw Jim (Jammer's real name) hitting on our host's sister over by the punch." Kitainia rolls her eyes. "But none of them's drunk." "No, I don't think so," Elena nods. "Good. How are you?" "Tired as heck. All this talking, dancing, and enjoying oneself has wiped me out." "Get on to bed then, Doug and I will round up the others and then come up ourselves. See you in the morning." "Okay," Elena yawns, turning and going up the stairs. "Thanks for bringing us by all the fun, Lis. Good night." Kitainia watches her go, then heads in the direction of the refreshment table to find Jammer and Carrie Canbea Pest.**
**Meanwhile, inside the mansion owned by Jim Bakker across the street, Pastor Paul and some of his Fundamentalist Extreme underlings (who of course include Ken, Roy, and Big Tommy, the three survivors of UT's FE) are watching the party's events through high-powered X-Ray telescopes and other equipment. "Everything's going according to your brilliant plan, my angel friend," Pastor Paul says into his cellular phone. "They're all getting so drenched in sin they won't be able to fight back worth anything when we strike." "Excellent," Asil replies from the other side. "Keep them under surveillance until the rest of our forces arrive. Ta ta." She hangs up and turns to Guod. "How did you manage to convince him you were an angel?" Doug's evil Borg-clone asks with a smirk. "Must be the wings," Asil mockingly laughs. "And those drama classes I took. I also tend to agree with his crowd's twisted view of Christianity, unlike any real angel would. The fools. Pastor Paul and his followers may have no traffic with devils, but in the end they are even more corrupt than the last bunch with which we allied." She and Guod share a bout of maniacal grinning and laughter as the screen goes blank. To be continued next time.**

**The screen lights up with the Maxi-Mart in Highland, Buttis and Butt-Borg walking in. "Can I help you?" asks the clerk. "We want some nachos," Butt-Borg says. "Nachos are two bucks, Pay up," snaps the clerk. "No!!" Borgis roars, leaping onto him and tearing the clerk and his store apart in a spray of merchandise, blood, and nacho cheese. Butt-Borg laughs for a long time, then says, "You dumbass. We were supposed to ass-im-uh-late that guy." "Rats, I did it again," Borgis growls, stepping up from the remains of the clerk's corpse. "Never mind, dude," Butt-Borg shrugs. "We have enough troops already, let's go find Master Guod." Humming a Judas Priest tune, they both walk out of the store.**
**The scene shifts to the party, where Doug is coming up to the Ravens' paladin, Shap. "Darn it," Shap sighs. "What's the matter?" asks Doug. "I've been trying to purify all the spiked punch. Used up all my spell energy in a futile quest." "Sorry," says Doug. "Listen, why don't you go upstairs and rest for a while? We got a big day ahead of us and lots to do." "Right," Shap nods. "Thank MrNoying for me. Despite the futile quest, his party was a lot of fun." Doug nods that he will, then turns to face the CR as Shap leaves.**
First off, thanks for all the comments on my creativity demon. And thanks to Robby and Coldstone for answering my question about Jonny Quest's dog. As for Riker's beard, he can go with or without it if he wants. Some women like beards, some don't. I'm glad to be with one who does. Just as long as Jonathan Frakes's other famous role doesn't shave, I'll be okay.
Coyote and Jaden: Glad you'll both be coming along for the ride. We are going to be staying at the party a while, though, so please enjoy yourselves all you want. The plan right now is for Kitainia and me to talk to all the other Ravens (thus doing character development stuff) and tell them the plan, then go upstairs and "sleep" while we're offline over our Thanksgiving time away. When we get back from that, we shall wake up, get ready, and leave.
DumlaoX: I have a request to make. Can you please make it so when someone accidentally or on purpose changes the size of the "Add to Comment Room" page or leaves it and then comes back, all the comments they've typed stay there? I've had a few problems with accidentally doing that by hitting the wrong keys tonight and it's really annoying having to type these comments over and over again. Please fix this problem if you can so the comments will stay in the window when that happens, like they will in the main CR. Thanks.
Comments on the new ep: (Spoiler Warning!) Masterful job, Coldstone and Spike. I liked what you all did with Hudson, Maeve, and all the other characters who appeared. Garlon had some good character development in this one, I enjoyed all the mouse-related gags with him. The Halfling hackers and George were good, too. Sekhmet I particularly enjoyed, she makes a good catlike (in terms of personality and looks) villainess. The way Graeme defeated her with his slingshot and the gum was my favorite scene. I also liked the fight between Puck and Garlon, and all the comments Puck made about how he likes humans and Garlon's phobias and quirks. Great job with Robbins, too. He's one of my favorite minor characters on the show and I've missed him a lot. He functioned well as a teacher and a friend in this story and I enjoyed seeing it all, particularly the part where he used the lines from "Dying of the Light." Good character development on Lex and Arianna, too. It's pretty clear that as long as he has Ari to give him ego-boosts and Liz to be a friend, Lex will probably stay good. Good foreshadowing as well, I wonder if Madoc's going to try and kidnap Alex now that he knows what the boy can do. Lastly, let me comment on the great pics. I loved all three of them, Spike should try to get a job as an animator if the show ever gets revived. I particularly enjoyed the characters' expressions. All in all, most excellent job. (Spoilers End.)
I had more in-depth comments, but since I accidentally tapped the wrong keys and changed the window size, wiping them all, they could not be said. Please fix this problem, Dumlao, so it does not happen again. That's all for now.
**Doug turns to the mansion's front door. Buffy, Willow, Xander, Cordelia, Oz, Giles, and Faith have all just walked in. Spike, Drusilla, and Angel try to follow. "What's the matter?" Boris, who has by now drank quite a lot, asks. "We haven't been invited in," Angel sighs. "Get in here, you idiots!" Boris chuckles. Spike grins in reply, "That works for me." The vampires then enter and join the party. Doug, recognizing the possible danger two of them pose, walks up to The Bore. "I think you've had a few too many," he tells the Ravens' Russian muscle-and-heavy-artillery man. "Time to go upstairs and sleep it off." Boris crumples his beer can in one powerful hand and snaps, "I'll tell you when I've had enough!" He then takes a swing at Doug. Doug sighs, catches his fist and flings him to the floor of the room in a quick judo throw. He then delivers a chop to the back of Boris's neck, knocking him unconscious for his own good. Doug then waves to bikers Big Al and Bigger Dave, who walk over and help him carry Boris upstairs. Its first and hopefully last rowdy drunk disabled, the party goes on.**

**Jaden couldn't believe that he had lost most of his clothing in the first hands. The only satisfaction was the fact that Demona hadn't done much better. Kitainia came over to the table and said, "Okay people, we're leaving in the morning so it's time to go upstairs and get some rest."
Wearing nothing but a leather jacket Jaden made his way up-stairs, silently thanking that he had fur, and collapsed.**

Robby> A bit too far? Me? Surely you jest.
My surverer was down almost all weekend and I was going out of my mind trying to get back here. Well I'm off to read the new TGS. See Ya.

(Previously, at the party...
"So Jim, what HAVE you and Mare been up to these last few posts?"
"Well...")
Its funny watching the early rush, as people try to claim spots in the top ten, and are completley off! There were multiple sixths, and after five there were another 7 people claiming to be in the top ten! Still, I got in REAL early this week, I was waiting... Heh heh.
44 DAYS UNTIL THE TIME DANCER SEASON TWO. 45 IF YOU COUNT THE THURSDAY ITSELF. (And remember people, nobody get mad at me for doing this countdown. I'm doing the count for myself anyway, and I'm posting it for your benefit. It isn't my job to torment you guys or anything. Blame the staff, not me. Of course, I'm doing this as a bit of kissup to get into the staff for season 3...)
Theresa- Your fourth spot is becoming a nasty habit! This is how many weeks in a row? I finally managed to break my spot in 11th after claiming it for a month...
SPOILERS
Bananas have about a three day eating period. Eat them anytime before or after that three day period, and they will taste quite nasty.
END SPOILERS
STORY SPOILERS (Of course if you people are reading the CR before the story after the top ten spots have already been claimed for the week, you need to be hit a couple of times anyway to get some sense knocked into ya!)
Yeah, a Manhattan story! And a FUNNY one as well! I was ROLLING! Good job writers! Good job artist! Etc.etc., normal praise about how I wish I could do that, yadah yadah... This was a good fun tale! OWEN pissed off, a fight between the twins, lots of nasty foreshadowing, Garlon vs. Puck, the promised flying nachos scene, the line "I HATE CHEESE!" and Robbins stealing what was one of the few good scenes from the Goliath Chronicles... Well, it wasn't actually stealing, it was his line originally. All good.
And then there's Sekhmet who, I believe, is going to be my favorite Unseelie. I like cat characters! She reminds me quite a bit of Mirage from Aladdin, and she was my favorite villain on that show... Coincidence, or are both characters based off the same thing?
END STORY SPOILERS
(Jim notices that the strip poker is breaking up a bit since Demona left, and sighs. Mare had managed to keep him away from the whole thing. So, he decides to answer the question. "Well, me and Mare were..." At that moment, another guest arrives, really PISSED off at Jim and Mare.
"Why for you feed me food, however tasty, that go boom?" Taz is not happy about how Jim and Mare have been tricking him recently, ala old Looney Tunes and Tazmania skits. Meanwhile, Raphael and Brooklyn are almost done with their fight. And with a final punch, Brooklyn goes down, and Raphael grins wickedly, standing over his fallen opponent.)

===WARNING!!! SPOILERS FOR "DISOBEDIENCE!!"===
Spike, Coldstone: GREEEAT job! As I read, I noticed little things that really appealed to me, i.e. small tidbits integrated from Spike's fics (the way gargoyles smell, Xanatos industries having Cray supercomputers), not to mention the explanations of Spike's spoiler from last week. (Just keep Borgis and Butt-Borg away from Garlon for a while! ;)
Re Graeme's trials an tribulations training Nudnik: This is one dog owner who wholly appreciated that (especially since the younger of my 2 dogs is a complete moron ...). Wish I had at least Graeme's luck, at least Nudnik let him walk away for a moment (as opposed to my moronic dog who would rather dance a lambada with you than leave you alone.)!

WILEK-- "Brave hearts", eh? OK, Illegal is on the job.
FRODO-- You have the soundtrack? Great! Um, actually, send Rolling Calf the MP3s since he was the one that requested them. Thanx.
Anyways, enjoy the new ep.
Till next time...
