**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...** :)

SJ> *raises eyebrows* Oooh, tricky. "Loveable loser", I'll have to try that one.
TRAVELER re: AOhelL> Well, I've got Communicator 4.5, so I'm good for a while.
SPIKE> Those are some good lines. Which reminds me: when are you going to add more to that universe? I've been waiting for so long! (Bad enough that GFW is down and TimeDancer doesn't start for [check Robby's post]).
Well, I should go now. Lotsa stuff to do. Seeya!

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!!! AHHH HA! HA! HA!

Robby> I AM SO GLAD YOU ASKED! Click my name, choose either framed or non-framed, click "Soundtracks", and there's about a zillion MP3's there, in about a zillion different styles--rock, goth, classical, gamesound simulation, you name it. 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". I hope you have a very fast modem. This site also has a lot of very nice MID files. Enjoy!

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
