Steve Gooch-Your right it is you're, but what can I say except that I was tired and my brain was shutting down.

Well I'm heading to bed...Again. I have to get up at the crack of dawn to go guard a gate at an airport to make sure no one goes driving down the runway. I'm glad I don't have to do this every week. I just sit there for almost ten hours doing nothing, except read, listen to music, and play with my old game boy. And believe me you go through all of them very fast. I really need new games for that gameboy. Anybody know of any good games?

Remember that impossible is only a word that describes something no one has seen yet.
See ya later.

Teletubbies- I was curious and watched it for about two minutes once. It consisted of "The wind blew and the kite flew. The wind stopped blowing, and the kite fell. The wind blew..." Over and over again. Ick...

Wilek- Gohan was drunk because he ate a certain fruit that had that effect, not because he drank. But later on in the series he grows up... As far as the guys from Hell having their shirt edited, well, thats kinda typical of the edits I've talked about in the past.

Deuce- Painting the house is NEVER fun.

Sylvia- Welcome!'

Ordell- Mulan is the flippin' best Disney animated flm they've made in years. I liked it more than Lion King, and I saw it over 50 times! DOn't judge a movie you haven't seen...

Valentines people- The song attached today is for all of ya lovebirds out there. That includes you Heather. And someone else I know who intends to make their feelings known today... Good luck to ya... But I don't think you'll need it.

**JIM'S VALENTINES DAY RP**

Elton John,Billy Joel, Michael Jackson, KISS, Weird Al, and the Monkees all stop bickering when they realize whatday it is, and they shape up because of it. They make a quick phone call, and before long, the remaining Beatles arrive. The large group nods at one another, and begins to do what they do best.

"All You Need Is Love" by the Beatles begins to play, and every couple in the joint comes together, despite the terrors being caused by the creature from the basement. Robby and Heather. Brooklyn and Demona. Coyote and Ravyn. Doug ad Kitainia if they're at the party. Kyryn and her betrothed. Anyone else I can name. Use your imaginations people, and enjoy the dance.

OH !@$#@^$#&$*^*^(*!!!! I'm sorry, but my post submitted before it was supposed to and I hadn't written my exit RP yet. Please forgive me for the RP-only post; it's a continuation of the last one. Again, I'm sorry.

**RESUME RP!**

[The team opens the door...to find a more disgusting, evil, and revolting creature than they could possibly imagine. It has the basic form of an enormous octopus, but with 12 tentacles, and its skin is covered in leering, demonic versions of Pokemon faces. It has a huge mouth full of sharp teeth, and it's covered in more of that acid mucus. Even worse...it's surrounded with eggs. It has lain eggs. It sees the team and roars, shaking the house. It then attacks, vomiting acid everywhere and flailing about with its tentacles. The battle is on...]

**RP! THIS ONE'S LONG; I APOLOGIZE.**

[Wilek's team is fighting the Thundercats, who have been possessed by the evil creature Legion. Wilek: "DM, where's that spell?" Dark Mage Wilek: "It's complex, it'll take a few minutes!" While DM's preparing the spell, the TCats and the team are at a complete stalemate that no one can win. Soon though, DMW begins chanting in an arcane language, and the blue glow leaves the eyes of the now dazed but rightminded and cleanmouthed Cats. Lion-O: "What...what happened?" Wilek apprises them and TRC of the situation, then they all set off to follow the trail of acid mucus that the creature left in its wake. Along the way, Wilek then gets out his cell phone..."Miriam? Yeah, it's me. This may be a bad time to bring this up, but I'm not sure we'll survive the next few minutes since we're going after Legion. I'm told some of Zale's goons might try to infiltrate the Dark Star. Tell Rho to cloak it and hyperspace it around the galaxy on a random course. No, we'll worry about that later. OK. Bye." By now they're near the trail's end, the mansion's attic. The Legion is just beyond the next door...]

**PAUSE RP!**

Ravyn, what's your e-mail address? I need to contact you about something. You can mail it to me if you like; I think you know my address. Thanks. ^_^ This doctor thought you might be pregnant when it was just the flu? Maybe he's on the wrong end of the CAT scanner...

<<And besides, they're much more interesting than landscapes. ~Coyote>> <<Though I personnaly prefer landscapes to any form of human artwork. ~TRC>> This is one of the funniest exchanges I've ever seen.

TRC> This guy was walking around ranting with a machete in his skull?! Makes you wonder just how normal the 'normal world' aka RL really is.

Robby> <<Gohan didn't start seeing things, he was DRUNK!>> Isn't Gohan a little kid? BTW, I discovered another edit in a recent ep. Some ogre-ish looking dudes were wearing shirts that had HFIL on the front. You *know* that was played with in a graphics lab somewhere before it got onto the screen.

Deuce> Ecch, if that hospital thing isn't a result of double standards, I don't know what is.

Coyote> Ack! I hope you weren't hurt!

The Teletubbies> I think I've said it before, but that was a long time ago: They are War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death.

Todd> Interesting dream. That *could* be a kewl crossover; too bad I have other plans...

Sylvia> Welcome! And don't worry, we won't garrote you and throw you in the recycling bin if you make a mistake. (And whoever's sneaking up behind her would do well to remember that. Yes, I'm talking to you, sneaking-up-person. Leave Sylvia alone. :P )

Lawrence> <<maybe different Clans around the world starting nameing themselves in different centuries>> That's probably the explanation.

kylynna> Ack you were kicked in the head by a horse?! MAN. Am I the only one in here who's never suffered massive, life-threatening injuries (outside of RP/fanfic anyhow)?

Ironwolf- I dont care about your clones, i think of killing them as a major stress-releaver - were going over stress in health right now (gag choke fall to floor clutching throught)
Demona Taina- gee last time i was in the hospital i berly had to wait a few minuts and nobody joked at all, that probly has something to do with the fact that i was there 'caus i had been kicked by a horse. . . in the head!(ouch!)
it was about midnight, they numbed the gash(very scary, large, and bloody!) cleaned it, and gave me stiches, almost 30! it took almost 2 hours then they put me to bed after making sure i was warm, i already had an iv and had been given morphene(strong stuff) the next day, techniclyit was the naxt day, i had surgery, i had a triad fracture so they removed 2 fragments of bone and moved another back where it was supposed to be.they took a blood sample with a very nasty looking needle, oh, and i had my iv in my right arm on the inside of the elbow. i spent the next couple days in the hospital(for those wondering it was Harborview Medical)4-5 days in all. this happend 4 months ago on october 13, my older brothers 20 birthday (wonderfull present for him huh?)
I was 13 then, i turned forteen on november 21, i still have the scar, it goes from hlfway back under my left eyebrow and ends almost an inch from my eyebrow, during my entire hospital visit all sorts of doctors came to look at my wound, it was fairly unusual, My day nurse was a very cute guy named mark, my doctors and surgens were also extremely cute males, the only nice part obout the experience was them and the basket of ginger bear cookies i was given (the frosting was made to make the bears look like doctors and sugeons*lol*) i cant get my scar fixed until im out of puberty, but i probly wont fix it, its a great conversation starter *LOL*...beat that hospital experience, i dare you, plus i never lost conciucness except wen i was gassed for surgery, am i one tough girl/kid or what?

Sylvia> Welcome to the comment room.

This is a question for TGS in The Sun And The Serpent parters. All of the Gargoyles in ancition Egypt have names, but I thought Gargoyles did not start nameing themselevs until around 1100 A.D. and 1200 A.D. or somewhere around that time maybe different Clans around the world starting nameing themselves in different centuries I would like to know?

Coyote> I missed ya. :)

And it's kinda funny, I saw that very same doctor I had been talking about earlier in a store this morning, and very jokingly wondered if he'd come up to me and ask if I was pregnant. I can't believe he asked us all that, especially since it WAS flu season, and it's kinda funny how when we denied it, he gave us a little lecture on being "active," if ya know what I mean. ;) Weird little witch doctors...;)

**RP!**

**The screen flickers back on momentarily to show Ravyn answering Coyote's question.**

"Yeah, we'd better leave 'em alone." Rav nods. "How about continuing that walk? We'll see what's going on over on the other side of the mansion. Maybe that Green Ranger hasn't left yet..."

**RP!!**

**The screen lights up to reveal ... Coyote and Ravyn approaching the football field, where it appears the game's ended a long time ago: the crowd there watching it has been replaced by a bunch of people flying kites.**

Boy, that was quick. Must not have been much of a game.

<"Look at that!">

**Coyote looks where Ravyn's pointing, seeing Susie and Lucy, the Siamese twins, flying a kite that looks a lot like a Pigeoto pokemon.**

Cool kite, girls!

<"Where's you find it?" "Who ever said it was a kite?">

**PAUSE RP!!**

RL Reason To Change Your Underwear: Well ... let's see ... last night I got home from a short trip to Ann Arbor at 2 AM, this tlateness not at all helped by the fact that I got lost in Pontiac ... twice ... and then hit an icy patch and jumped a curb on the home stretch. There was no damage to the car, but it felt like I'd just hit a brick wall. Soo ... that's why I didn't post last night, in case anybody missed me. :)

Jackal: Hmm ... strange thing to be proud of ... good luck!

Aris: Glad to hear you survived finals. :)

Selanit: Very heartbreaking story. But I liked it.

Deuce: Had to have Graeme fall in love. His sister was already taken, I didn't want to pair up one sibling and leave the other one lonely.

Demona Taina: All that, and they didn't figure out what was wrong with you? Gawd, that's the problem with the medical system today, I tell ya.
Fortunately enough, most of the hospital care I've ever needed has come from military hospitals (one of the only advantage to having both parents in the service). They tend to be more efficient than civilian hospitals ... if you're left waiting for three hours in a civilian hospital, the military one'll only leave you waiting for two and a half.

Ravyn: Thank you. :) Hmm .... very suspicious doctor there. I mean it should be obvious, it's flu season after all (well, duh!). :)

Kitainia: It will depend on how fast I can get the replacement scanner, otherwise I'll have to pony up the funds to have them scanned at Kinko's. I also need to set up that old computer upstairs and print up the character descriptions. Give me time, it'll get done.

Bad guys: The best characters, from a writing standpoint, are the ones who believe in their cause to be right, no matter how evil. Even those who are under mind control ... earler in my cycle I had a lot of fun writing scenes with Angela, while she was under the influence of the Obedient Child Spell. I also enjoy, to a point, writing scenes with Samson under the same spell.

Wilek: Yes, thank you for the compliment. But some others of mine ... if you think I'm a good artist, remind me to never show you pictures of a villain I created for my cybercomic (put bluntly: picture the Punisher with the same amount of muscles, a giant left glove, a serrated-edge dagger ... and female.).

Ordell: I believe you may be under a misconception created by a line in the film that appeared infrequently in advertising. "Mulan" is not solely about cross-dressing; it's about a woman who proves, beyond a doubt, that anything that any man can do, a woman can do equally as well ... or sometimes better, in the case of Mulan's tactical skills.

Jaden: Yes, I can. It's an Irish blessing, actually.

Jewel: That sounds interesting, a Renaissance choir. What kind of repertoire do you folks have?
As far as the Teletubbies go ... I'm completely convinced they were created by someone suffering from a bad trip on the brown acid.

**RESUME RP!!**

<"Hey, that's cruel!!">

**Ravyn jumps up to where the twins are holding on to a lead, which, when viewed to the source, is revealed to be a leash on the Pigeoto.**

Let it go, girls.

<"But ..." "No buts. Besides, its owner might be coming for it at any time.">

**Just then, three kids and another Pikachu approach the conversation. The smaller of the boys, wearing a vest and a ballcap, is screaming at the group.**

<"GIVE ME BACK PIGEOTO!!">

**Susie and Lucy drop the leash, jogging away from the advancing trainers. They come up on where Pigeoto has landed, at the feet of Coyote and Ravyn.**

How did they get their hands on it, anyway?

<"He flew away on me earlier. I thought he was inside dancing with the rest of them, but I think those girls found him first." "Maybe the leash isn't such a bad idea, then ...">

**The suggestion by the female trainer ignites an argument.**

<" ... can control them ..." "... still owe me a bike ...">

Oh-kay, then, I think we should leave them alone. What do you think?

**The screen winks off before Ravyn can give a reply.**

Speaking of teletubbies, I agree with SJ. There is something just inherently not right about them. I watched one episode and was freaked. <shudder> Barney may have horrified me, but Teletubbies are just scary.

Hi all!!

I haven't got much to add.

Kitainia & Wilek: You are more than welcome to pinch the idea. however, my players didn't like the encounter for some reason. It may have to do with the sudden realisation that just because the mage has a ring of flight, that doesn't mean he's capable of hand-to-hand combat with a gargoyle who's bigger than him. Or that a crossbow 3 is not fireproof. But they Wised up quickly. It only took 3 more consecutive defeats before they decided that trying to fight Jezebel and The Star's Get was a losing propostion...

goodnight all!!!

Ordell> You are making what sounds like a very harsh judgement on a movie you've never seen. Seems unfair to me. Anyway, Mulan is not "about" cross-dressing. It has cross-dressing, but that is not the "theme" nor "purpose" nor anything else. It exists because it existed in the original ancient Chinese poem from which the cartoon was drawn. Mulan is a young woman whose father is drafted by the Chinese army to do battle. He is too old to go, but if he doesn't, his family will be shamed (you have to understand Chinese culture to understand this psychology). So to save her father's honor, Mulan cuts her hair and takes her father's place in the army. She has to dress as a boy because girls are forbidden to fight. This is not something she does for pleasure, and it's not something she did before she joined the army. There are also characters who cross-dress at the end of the movie; Disney does rack in the jokes about gender lines. But that's not the heart of the movie. The heart is Mulan strugglling to do something she has never done before for the sake of her family. If you don't like cross-dressers, that's no reason to avoid this movie. If you want a better reason not to see it, I'll give you one: the ending is anti-climactic and wholly unrealistic. Eh, see it anyway. Overall, it's okay.

Timedancer?> I assume the talk about kids moving through time refers to the Timedancer fanfiction. I haven't read it so I'm not familiar with the subject, but I can comment anyway. If Brooklyn raised his kids timedancing, that would not be like a military upbringing -- it would be worse. The military will station you in one place for a couple years minimum and you have society to interact with. Timedancer kids would move far more constantly and they would be allowed to interact with other creatures very little, since that would alter history. The consequences would be gargoyles who were completely alienated from their own race, who were socially incompetent, and who developed inadquedate opinions of life, communication with other creatures, and love. A family that is that insulated and that uprooted would quickly become very dysfunctional and would stay that way.

Arg. Just got back from Renaissance Choir. We have a concert tomorrow, and had a 3 hour rehearsal. My throat is dead. The director, Ted, is a sweet old man, but I swear to God, I'm going to kill him. Because I have a three octave range, he has me sing everything from tenor II to soprano I. Which is fine. Provided I not go straight from singing tenor to soprano back to tenor, because the register shifts are hell. Despite my telling him repeatedly that this is killing my throat and I can't do it, he still does. Today I went from tenor to soprano to tenor to soprano all in a row. And then we did three songs in a row where I sing alto. Had he put the alto songs in between, I would have been OK. Instead, my voice crashed and burned, especially since I only got 3 hours of sleep last night. I love Ted, really I do, but I'm gonna hurt the old man if he keeps ignoring me about this, because I *know* I'm doing damage to my voice like this. My voice teacher has told me repeatedly that I have to put my foot down because it's not good for me. I do put my foot down. Ted says "OK" and then forgets.

Ordell: Umm, are you serious? About Mulan? Or are you just being sarcastic?

Demona Tania: I hate hopsitals, too. I've been into them too many times (I've have X-rays, EKG, electrocardiograms, and MRI's). Evil, evil, evils places. Doctors are also evil. And psychologists/councillors (For any of you who read my fanfic, Chrsitian's little visit to the shrink was based on a visit I, in sheer desperation, took to see one last semester when I had a nervous breakdown.) But hospitals are the worse...next, of course, to doctors who are a little *too* unhappy that they can't operate on you.

The Hawk and Crow: aww, how sweet, Emrys has a love interest. *trying to think of ppl who don't have a love interest* Owen and Puck, and of course a bunch of those Unseelie losers. (no offense, cool characters, but they're EVIIIIL so i call them losers). Hm.

Kylynna: So, you posted. lucky you. learn how to spell, girl-friend! you said that gargoyle is cute...well, i don't kno if i could think of any gargoyle as cute...and about the fanfiction thing, i don't kno if i can do it after all. there are already a bunch of betrayals and evil sadistic insane ppl running around like chickens with their heads cut off. i don't want it to get any more confusing. mebbe over the vacation i can think of something.

Werewolves vs. Vampires: WEREWOLVES FOREVER!!!!! THE GLASS WALKERS SHALL TRIUMPH!!!!!!!!! *cough* my vote is for werewolves. because they (ok, most of them) serve the good, Gaia, and not the baad. and, they're ALIVE. ;)

Lexy- The strength of Macbeth and Demona's immortality is unkown. We know they can survive a sword through the gut, but we don't know what would happen if their heads were cut off, or if they were to be suddenly crushed by several tons of burning roller coaster. Its very plausible that some massive injuries will finish them off, spell or no, its just never been tested. And besides, in the heat of the moment, it would be very easy for Thailog to forget that fact anyhow.

Greg's versions of the kids... I dunno. I'm betting that Tachi would have been trained to be very tightlipped about what to do when she got to Manhattan, circa 1996.

And as far as the kids missing who they grew up with- Who's to say they didn't spend 18 years timedancing, with like, six months in the future? I imagine for them it would be the equivilent of having a dad in the military, never having time to settle down too much in one place and always moving...

**DRAGONBALL Z SPOILERS**

Ordell- For one thing, Dead Zone was a bad dub. It was missing several minutes of footage and phrases... (For instance, Gohan didn't start seeing things, he was DRUNK!) But it was one of the first two movies they did, and the staff was still trying to figure out how to fit a story into a 45 minute period. (Yes, they had done 22 minute episodes, but those were part of 8 hour sagas) They got real good at this by the 5th and 6th movies, (The battles with Freeza's older and more powerful brother Cooler) and they created the best fight ever made in Movie 8, where they face the legendary super saiyan Broli... Look around for some fandubs to try and find those movies. They are SO worth it.

Well, then Thailog says to Demona, "Do you wish to perish!?" and she replies.."my vengence is all you've left me with"..well anyway the point is they met in the ep "Santuary" (demona had just arrived in Paris after the Avalon battle and she was under the W. sisters spell..didn't remember what had happened..) well Thailog met her and got that whole, 'lets kill Macbeth and run off with his cash' plan.. Later he was told by Goliath and Elisa that Demona and Macbeths magicall link ment that if he bought it so would she. SO why did he say to her, "Do you wish to perish when he knew full well that she would not?:) I think of stuff like this when im supposed to be concentrating at work:) well...do ya think it was a mistake in the writting of the ep..or was Thailog just being dumb at the time:P hmm...mabey both?

*nuther profound thought from the mind that brought you, "Thailog...brain fart or not??"

OK. Now if we go with Gregs plan for TD. Which would make Tachi (aka Ariana) 6 or 3 in human years. Then how do YOU think Brooklyn and Katana (aka Sata) would have kept the lil girl shut about the future?? She would have grown up in the year 2158. So how do you cover up when she says.."Daddy, wheres my buddy 'blank'"..or Mommy can i watch my fave video" "um...well ah..see we dont have it..dear..it hasn't been invented yet":) ya right! how do ya reason with a three year old!?
Just wanted to know what your thoughts were on this.....

LAST Q I PROMISE!

not really a question i guess..just wanted to hear from others..know has really ever brought up anything about Nashville (aka Grime) ok..he is 28..or 14 in human years. SO imagine this if it were to happen to YOU when you were this age. All of a sudden, after YEARS of surching..u end up in a time where..its not the right year..but it _is_ your Dads home..in the future. You grow up there..you make friends with the clans children (Broadways and Lexs grandkids would have been his playmates) then puff! You make it to your Dads correct home AND year..and so now you will stay there..FOREVER. Your friends..you will never see again..you will die before they are born. As you look around..there is knowone your age or even close....man..i feel so bad for him:( and at that age too.
WELL any thoughts??? please give um!

Hey all,

[Yawn] Quick post, then sleep.

Jaden > <May you be in Heaven fifteen minutes before the devil knows you there.> Isn't that an Irish proverb? And isn't it "know *you're* there?"

Geez, I'm like almost asleep here.

Imagine this- Can anyone here imagine someone saying this to you? "May you be in Heaven fifteen minutes before the devil knows you there."

X-man-I like Storms power to control the weather.

Nude Art-I really don't see the problem. Some people see it as porn, but it seems more like a way for a person to express him/herself.

Blade movie-I liked it, bought the sound track as soon as it came out.

DumlaoX-That's a great idea, now if I could only draw.
Robby-I can just imagine a good picture for that. The two kids arguing, Brooklyn with a hand slapped against his face and Sata has her arms crossed with an amused look on her face.

Has anyone heard about a movie called Prince Valiant?

Well I'm going to sleep. See ya later!

TRC > I don't think they'll keep Apophis dead. There is always the sarcophigus, like the guyy from the Tok'ra was saying. I loved the episode that came on a few weeks ago called "The Fifth Race," and that will probably be canon for most of the episodes next season.

About Mulan > I refuse to see it. I'm sure that I'm not 100 percent correct, but I feel that (just from seeing the previews) that it about cross-dressing. I know there are other things in there, but it's about cross-dressing. People at Disney have become money-hungry Communists. Gargoyles was probably the last good thing they ever will put out.

Did anyone see Dragonball Z: Deadzone this afternoon? The World's Strongest (which they showed last week) as better, in my opinion.

I must be off. Party time.......

**PARTY RP**
TRC is still looking around the mansion , with considerably more caution after the last incident with the shoddy repair job . He is heading down into the basement when something flies past him at breakneck speed , throwing him off of his feet . He reflexively puts up a shield to absorb the impact of the wall . It's not enough however as he is still fairly stunned and with horror he realizes that the slime on his shield looks like it might actually be eating through it . He slumps to the floor in a heap and shakes his head to try and get his senses back . In this time he makes his post .
**PAUSE RP**

DumlaoX : You'r not going to believe this but I finished a pic. today that would have done pretty well . At least in my opinion it would have . It was a half decent pic of the head and upper shoulders of Goliath with a crescent moon behind him , I drew his eyes aglow but I could change that .
I was thinking It might be appropriate for the "Cast your spell , one more time ." scene , would that be appropriate or would I have to draw in the magus and Princess Katharine too .

Doug : I got the stories , thaks for sending them , I'll give you a review as soon as I finish them . (NB- That may take a while as I am actually pretty busy on the weekends .)

Wilek : I would'nt worry too much about that art form if I were you . Mind you I could be wrong . But that is an integral part of drawing the human anatomy . Though I personnaly prefer landscapes to any form of human artwork .

Selanit : What you said was not corny , more a good example of the type of people we have to deal with every day of our lives . If some other form of intelligence asked us what type of people there are , I'd tell them that story .

Airwalker : I do'nt know about any websites , but there are several good books you can bye . The problem in making your selection is finding one that does not just show you these people's drawings , but actually gives advice on techniques . When I started drawing , I , like most people , was not very good , but I found that I enjoyed it so much I just kept drawing , eventually I just got better and better and I can now pass as a halfway decent artist . Once you bear a love for your work , and keep practicing you can go all the way , I also recommend that you try copying art style that you like , maybe from a certain comics , get a feel for the style , and then branch out on your own . A sort of cut and paste technique . Good luck .

Demona Taina : I know the frustration and the rage that you feel . Once down here , a guy broke a couple of bones and suffered from various other painful injuries and then he saw another guy walking up and down the halls , badly cut all over his body , the guy was actually pacing the hall swearing that he was going to kill the guy who had done it to him . Apparently someone had chopped him up with a machette , and he just walked to te hospital and the doctors seemed to pay little attention to him . What's that !! not too bad you say , well here's the clincher . THE MACHETTE WAS STILL IMBEDDED IN HIS SKULL !!!! The guy with the broken bones had some sense however , he insisted that they let him get out of the room and treat the other man . Now THAT is total ^*&#'ries .

Heather : I agree with your assesment of Mulan , that was the funniest scene in the whole movie IMHO .

Ayone who enjoys a good romantic comedy : I recommend that you all watch "Overnight Delivery" it has one of the best lines at the end and a pretty good script . It's become one of my favourites and I urge you to try it if you have'nt already .

*sniff* Bye bye Brimstone .

Anyone in here caught SG-1 .
--SEMI-SG1-SPOILER --
YES , he's DEAD!!!!! .
--END SEMI-SPOILER--

Xena : That is the strangest thing that I have heard in a loooong time .

**RESUME RP**
TRC gets back up and hear's the screams of several people back in the main hall . Deciding that he is no where near powerful enough to deal with it on his own , he runs down into the basement , bouncing off the walls as he is still unsteady on his feet from the blow , though being VERY careful not to step in the mucus . He finally reaches the bottom only to find a rather Bizarre scene . He walks over to Wilek , Ironwolf , the dragons , and the Ghost Busters . "TRC:Care to let me know what the heck that was ."

**SOMEWHAT LONG RP!**

[At the party, Jason's chatting with the Thundercats, who are watching the critter hatch from its coccoon while the team tries to freeze it. Jason: "So why are you guys cussing so much lately?" At this point, the TCats begin speaking in an alternating-sentence fashion, like the Weird Sisters, so I won't bother keeping track of who speaks. "It is the will of the Legion. Our souls must be made impure for Its service--or perhaps Her service, since we now know Her gender." Jason: "What the..." TCats: "The Legion subdued the insipid <censored> minds that once controlled these powerful bodies, so that Her will could prevail, and She could have powerful protectors to guard Her birth. We must now fulfill our duty..." Jason now realizes that the Legion is the thing in the coccoon, as the 'Cats proceed to attack the team.] Sorry, but the whole cussing Thundercats thing was weirding me out, and I had to rationalize it somehow or risk cranial implosion.

**PAUSE RP!**

Coyote> <<sometimes I suffer from Rob Liefeld syndrome ... huge-chested, tiny-waisted, huge-thighed, microscopic-footed characters>> Well, you did well enough with me and Miriam. ^_^

Blue Caeru> <<You're supposed to use the existing ongoing stories?>> Well, you can if you like, but I'm not sure it's absolutely necessary. And that portrayal of your life...that's why the CR exists, because it's better than RL. ^_^

Kylianna> Generally, we refrain from killing each other here. The Lawyer, Mr. Disconnect, annoying media personalities, and idiots from our respective RL's are fair game, but not each other.

Jackal> Eh...you're proud of an AIDS test? Hoo boy...

Selanit> Whoever wrote that post created an absolute masterpiece. They should write fanfic.

Demona Taina> Ack. My sympathies. I hope your stomach problems were nothing serious. I've never stayed in a hospital, at least not as a patient, and after reading that, I don't think I ever will.

Happy birthday Alison! :D

Jonathan> <<the gargoyles flooded the foundry floor with 6 inches of molten iron and trapped the flight-impaired pc's on top of anvils and such>> I have GOT to work that into a fic someday.

Argent> <<Which makes a better bad guy/ girl: one who thinks they're what they're doing is right, or one that KNOWS they're evil. (and usually enjoys it...)>> Well, the former is more realistic, but the latter is a lot more fun to write for and watch and read about and such.

Airwalker> Hear here, I'd love to learn to draw so I won't have to pester ppl for commissions. ^_^ At the moment, the best I can do is dig up an emulated copy of WWF Warzone and get a screenshot of something I make with its character generator. (Which might be a viable option, if that game's generator is as versatile as I've heard...)

**RESUME SOMEWHAT LONG RP!**

[Wilek: "What the--" The Thundercats knock Jewel*D out from in front of the Legion's coccoon, effectively knocking the wind out of her and shutting down her ice breath, and then attack the rest of the team. By now, the possessed TCats' eyes are glowing an evil blue, a side effect of their possession. Jason: "Guys! Don't hurt the Cats, they don't know what they're doing!" Dark Mage Wilek: "I have a spell that can help, but it'll take a few minutes--oh, no! Look!" Everyone turns to see the Legion's coccoon empty, and a trail of acid mucus leading out of the basement. Egon: "We have to find out where it went!" Alucard: "But first we must return these warriors to their right minds!" There are plans regarding what the Legion looks like and where she's headed, so don't disrupt please. Thanks. :)]

Selanit- Your evil twin had a very nice post, not corny at all. It said quite a bit and was one of the more interesting non-insane posts we've had for a while.

Taina-Thats the way hospitals work. Make you wait for three hours so you think the doctors are impiortant people who are busy. I've finished full novels in one hospital visit several times.

SJ- I don't give a flip about the Wonder Twins either. I'm glad you killed them. Just pointing out the inconsistency, thats all. If I hadn't, I might have asked why you didn't kill Marvin, Wendy, and Wonderdog as well. In fact, kill them soon. Kill Space Ghost's sidekicks Jan, Jace, and Blip the Monkey while you're at it. Hmm, Hanna Barbara had a formula didn't they? Two dopey sidekicks and an animal... That almost applies to the Herculoids too!

Blue- I remember the George Went and beans bit very well. But even more fun, the SKippy and Slappy Woodstock bit...
"Who's on stage?" "Who." "The guys on stage." "Who." "The band." "Who's on stage?" "Thats what I'm asking you!" And that scene played for 4 minutes and 38 seconds. It gets real fun once its repeated for that long...

Ravyn- Glad you're enjoying the songs! They're mostly there to enhance my RP bits, but I may keep throwing random stuff on even after the party ends.

What makes a better bad guy- Well, since villains come in endless variety, simply asking if they think they're doing the right thing, or if they're pure evil is too broad. Usually when a villain is pure evil for no reason, its because of bad writing, but can produce some really nifty characters. If they think they're doing the right thing they can be far more interesting. If they know they're doing the wrong thing, but they're doing it for certain reasons, also good. Then there's to Joker type, who I'm not certain about...

Survey- I know we've covered favorite Gargoyle moments before, but what about favorite Batman: TAS moments? Mine would go to the first Christmas episode where Joker's entire scheme amounts to a pie in Bat's face, most of the episode Tyger Tiger, and when Robin slugs Batman in a very recent one... Anyone else?

**JIM'S PARTY**

While trying to ignore the sudden surge of Sesame Street and Muppet characters, Jim greets Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and Lucy who had apparently yanked the ball away from Charlie brown just before he kicked it, causing it to crash into the mansion. (Who knows how it got through the forcefield.)

Elsewhere, several dragons are meeting. Draco and Puff run into Mushu, and the big fluffy puppydog dragon from the Neverending story. (Was his name Falcor?) Gilligan from Gilligan's island approaches them, and fun ensues.

At about that point, Burt Ward realizes Adam West has run off, getting himself into trouble with the thing in the basement. So he makes a phonecall to get some REAL help to arrive. (He'll be here by next post. Click the name to figure out who...)

Meanwhile,IN the basement, everything is being done to stop the creature from coming out, when Lion-O realizes something. "What the @#$&? Its a female!"

Robby: Hey, don't walk on my joke, man! ;) Seriously, like I care which Wonder Twin could do which. I killed them off--that should show you just how much love I have for them. :-p

Brimstone: I hope you guys like tonight's episode--It will most likely be the last one (unless WB grabs a hold of it. I mean, they really should. My local WB affiliate airs Nightman. NIGHTMAN. If that crappy show can get airtime, so can the much superior Brimstone).

TECH HELP: Thanks, everyone. See, I was in a bind, and you guys helped me out! I'm proud to say that today I downloaded Netscape 4.5 (it only took an hour to do so), and this very night I was working my literary magic on Composer.

However, the wacky weather here in the nation's capital (must be the acquittal screwin' things up) caused the power to go out, not once, not twice, but thrice. So,
HERE COME'S A DIS CONNECT DEATH!!!!!!!!!

****WARNING: Mr. DC's GONNA DIE******
Sevarius Jr. walks up to Mr. Dis Connect. "Hey."
"Hey."
"Could you hold this?" SJ hands DC a large side of beef.
"Um....Sure, I guess."
"Okay, thanks. I'm gonna stand over there."
Suddenly, a large pack of wolves storm the Comment Room, followed by a pride of lions, and several wandering bears. Not wanting to be left out of the action, the CR gators trot over. They all smell one thing--Meat. More specifically, the meat in DC's hands.
"Ohhhhhhhh crap."
I won't go into details here folks. Let's just say that he was divided up equally between the four sets of remarkably civil beasts, and they're digesting them comfortably right now. Except for his head, for I will now be using his bleached skull as a coffee cup. Have a nice day!

**RP STUFF**

At the secret base, Thailog, Guod, Jerec, and Asil are holding a meeting. Admiral Nipon is currently addressing them via the viewscreen. "My fleet of twelve Star Destroyers, three Super Star Destroyers, one Eclipse-class Star Destroyer, and one World Devestator has just left base and is heading for the Earth system. ETA two weeks of hyperspace travel. I trust the Dark Star is out of commission?" "Serpent will be sent in very soon," Asil says. "He's ready for the mission. (Note to Wilek- As soon as Jim's party is over, Serpent will infiltrate.) I hope your fleet is ready to help us take over Earth." "We are," Nipon nods. "See you in two weeks." He clicks off and Thailog nods. "Alright," he says. "Now let us see if we have the money to pay off those demons who have been selling us weapons recently." He calls Marsh, who appears on the viewscreen looking harried beyond belief. "What's going on?" Thailog asks their financial supplier. "Hackers!" Marsh shouts. He goes on for several minutes, describing experiences similar to what happens to Preston Vogel in Pistoff's fic "Sit on my Interface." "I just got out of jail!" Marsh whines. "These damn computer jerks are ruining my company. Even Micheal Meade isn't fast enough to solve all the problems they're putting in my computers!" Thailog nods at Asil. "Contact our hacker Tyl. Until you take over NORAD he's not doing anything. Maybe he can help Roger."

The screen changes to Kitainia and the others, who are still waiting outside the B&H Building. (This is before they hear Kenny's cries.) Kitainia turns to make a post in the Comment Room.

**PAUSE RP**

Nude Art: I agree with Doug about this. Nude art can be the most interesting kind. As for posing nude, as much as I enjoy it, I regret not getting as many catcalls as Doug does. :)

Taleweaver: The way I heard it, Shu kept Nuit and Geb apart at Ra's instructions. I wonder if it'll be the same in TGS.

Fire: You're very much welcome. :)

Green Baron: Sigh, same with all cats. LOL!

Robby: Good. I'm doing the right thing. $ BTW, expect more Kenny development in this and subsequent posts. $

DumlaoX: Good idea on the quotes. Too bad I don't have the time or skill to do pics for all the ones I think are memorable. Hope someone else does.

Coyote: You're welcome. BTW, are we any closer to seeing more WCC pics?

Blue: You don't have to use the existing stories for RP. You're perfectly welcome to add to them with your own ideas, and/or start your own stories. So don't worry, whatever you want to do in RP is fine as long as you follow the rules (no sex, no really gory violence, only one RP post a day, and no RP-only posts). Good luck.

Selanit: Very cool bit about the chalk drawing. Next year's Valentine's, I might do something like that.

Demona Taina: Congrats on getting out of the hospital alive.

SJ: There will be a Blade sequel? Good, I'm looking forward to it.

Happy Birthday Alison Wilgus!!

Jonathan: Thanks for that great RPG idea. Our characters better hope Keith (our group's GM) doesn't hear it! :)

Okay, that's all for now. I have to finish watching tonight's Brimstone, and then Doug and I are going out to a Mardi Gras party. Later all!

**RP AGAIN**

Suddenly Keith interrupts Kitainia and taps his headphones. "Kenny's in trouble! We gotta go help him!" "Right!" Kitainia nods, parking the car. Lathrop quickly teleports the party upstairs to the meeting room. Bakkur and Hotsettler have just finished extracting Kenny's DNA and they and the Sevarius clones are about to head down to their basement laboratory. Kenny has died from the pain of the needles and is only just now coming back to life. The evil lawyers turn as the Ravens teleport in. Bakkur smiles. "Ah, Kenny's clients, protecting their attorney. There's a huge reward out on all of you, you know. I think our firm shall collect." The twenty normal lawyers in the room draw machine pistols. Bakkur and Hotsettler order them to attack, and flee the room, Sevaraii just behind. The Ravens draw their own weapons and quickly shoot, hack up, and spell-blast to death all the lawyers. Keith takes out the two burly ones by knocking them out the window with his nunchuks, and they don't get up from the fall. After they're all dead, Kitainia rushes to Kenny and helps him to his feet. "They took my DNA," Kenny gasps. "They said they were going to use it to become like me!" "We know," Kitainia says, handing Kenny one of the lawyers' machine pistols and all the clips she can find. "Come on, let's go kill some lawyers." "You're expecting me to help?" Kenny asks, looking at the gun. "Why not?" Stephanie smiles. "Don't you want revenge? These guys have killed you twice now." "Revenge," Kenny thinks. "I don't know. I'm not even sure how to use a gun on someone." Jammer demonstrates with his own MAG rifle. "Point barrel at bad guy, squeeze trigger, they're dead. You run outta ammo, eject the clip, put in another one, cock, fire again. Got it?" Kenny nods. "I think I can figure it out. Thanks. Let's go kill some lawyers besides me!" Kitainia and everyone nods, and they leave the boardroom, ready to chase the firm partners and do battle. The screen goes out, to be continued.

Demona Taina> Ouch! Hope that you're okay now. And yes, I hate hospitals too. The one here is kinda annoying sometimes, because you could be bleeding to death in the waiting room and still have to wait 2 hours to be seen. And my basketball team has not had good experiences with that hospital. When half the team started feeling sick a month or so ago, our coach forced some of us to go to the hospital for some flu medicine. It ended up being a blood test, then the doctor coming in and asking if we all might be pregnant. When we said no, he asked if we were lying to him! He actually gave one girl a pregnancy test! Finally, he decided we all just had the flu and prescribed some medicine. Doctors...;)

Coyote> **grins** Thanks for the welcome back! I really do appreciate it, and I missed you too...kinda. ;) And thanks for the compliments on my X-Men tastes! I like yours too. :)

Selanit> Aw, that was a truly beautiful story. I loved it. Give my compliments to your evil twin...;) Really, it was great.

I almost feel guilty posting here about selling garg cels ... it's almost an ad, after all. But posting on garg message boards is the only way I have of contacting the interested. If you're not, skip this message.

This post has also been sent as an email to those who have told me they are interested in buying my cels. I have decided to sell 2 cels. One is a headshot of Demona and the other is a headshot of Xanatos, no backgrounds but matted and in plastic. I will put them up on my website for viewing as soon as I get time. Email me if you want to be informed when my URL goes up.

I will be selling them through "official channels" to guarantee the honesty of both myself and interested buyers. I will be using the online auction house Ebay, which has a good reputation. However, the cels will NOT BE ON SALE FOR 3 WEEKS. I don't have enough time to sell them immediately and I will be on a 2 week trip the last week of Feb. and the first week of March. So I will put them up for auction in early to mid-March. I will be putting up scans of them before I go on my trip, though, so people can view them and consider their interest in the meantime.

Well, that's it. Have a good day!

Demona Taina> Your experience in the hospital sounds awful. I hope you feel better and don't have to go back there anymore! I used to volunteer in the ER waiting area of a hospital, so I know that experiences like yours do happen, unfortunately. I think I saw all kinds of things there, and that was only the waiting area! I can't imagine what my friend who actually volunteered _in_ the ER saw.

Oh dear, I wish I could remember what else I wanted to post... hmmm. Um, okay, here's a fictional scene from my life that kinda explains why my posts never really sound like they came from a sentient organism. A form of my often strange sense of humor:
*****a fictitious life scene*****
(I wearily enter my apartment-with a 40lb. backpack in tow- after a day of seemingly endless lectures, and lie face-down on the living-room floor, too sick and tired to do anything else)
Me: *sneezes* I think I was supposed to vaccum the place last weekend... *snoring* zzzzzzzzzz...
30 minutes later
(My roomie, who I haven't seen for a week, enters the apartment, dragging an equally large backpack in)
Roomie: *in a monotone* Hi. How are you?
Me: *looks up and smirks* Hi. Nice to meet you.
Roomie: Heheheh, nice to meet you too. Wanna go to the mall this weekend? I have to get something for my boyfriend.
Me: *shrugs as best I can while lying prone on the floor* Sure, why not?
(my roomie's phone rings)
Roomie: *shrieks happily* Eeee! It's him!! Gotta go now, bye! *flies to her bedroom and shuts the door*
Me: *talking to the recently vacated space* And I'm fine; you? *grins, amused* They're so cute.
(I get up, and on my way to my bed, groggily walk into a wall, leaving a nice lump on my forehead)
15 minutes later
(A sharp, high-pitched ringing echos throughout my room. I reach under my bed for a large hammer to obliterate my alarm clock once and for all, then realize it is the phone. I consider throwing the hammer at it, but remember it is 10 feet away and that my computer is right next to it.)
Me: *stumbling to the phone and answering it* Hello?
Person on the Phone: *in a nasal, annoying tone* Would you like to take a survey?
Me: Um, actually-
Person on the Phone: It'll only take a minute.
Me: Uh-
Person on the Phone: Do you like beans? Do you like George Wendt? Do you want to see a movie starring George Wendt eating beans?
Me: *knowing that they will only call back if she hangs up, starts beating her head on the wall, hoping to eventually reach unconscious bliss*
*****end fictitious life scene*****

Hi all!
Demona Taina> If I didn't say hi before, I'm saying hi now! Stomack problems? I get those sometimes too.
Only mine can not be easly cured. It's my degiestive system, it's too slow.
Every so often I would barely eat anything and my stomack would hurt like you wouldn't believe. People thought I was going to starve to death. For the longest time the doctors could not figure out what was wrong with me. They poked, X-rayed, and they even stuck a very small camrea down my throut to see if I had an ulser or something [yuck].
Good news was it wasn't an ulser or anything like that. My doctor suggested it was probably because my stomack has a slow degiestive system, and try to eat more light food (like fruits & vegtabales, and less red meet and patatoes).

Have to go, talk to ya all later!

Hi all!!

Todd & Wilek: Save your Wrath; GDW, the publisher of Dark Conspiracy, went Bankrupt and collapsed in 1995. And don't Cheer - I liked their games, Even if I disliked the Gargoyles.

Ironwolf: Oh, just Skills & Powers. There's been so much talk of a completely new redesigned-from-the-bottom-up edition I thought that was what you were talking about.

On a General Note about gargoyles in role-playing games. I never have trouble getting my players to respect them. Not after they killed one and the rest of the clan came to kill them. 6 gargoyles vs. 8 pc's doesn't sound fair does it? after one little fight in an iron foundry the pc's decided that gargoyles were too dangerous. Of course, the fact the gargoyles flooded the foundry floor with 6 inches of molten iron and trapped the flight-impaired pc's on top of anvils and such probably helped...

goodnight all!!!

**Kyryn looks into the CR**

SJ> If you have Netscape 4.5, the composer should be part of it. Go to the Communicator menu at the top of the screen. Composer should be on the dropdown list.

Demona Taina> Ow! I don't like hospitals either. It sounds like the ones in Puerto Rico are just like the ones in the United States -hurry up and wait.

Selanit> Well, thank your evil twin for telling a beautiful story. It's things like that that make me keep my faith in humanity. Random, or deliberate, acts of kindness and beauty are always welcome.

Kylianna> Pleas refrain from killing any of the CR posters. Things like that can lead to flame wars, which we don't want in here. We've all generally agreed not to kill each other. The RP has its own rules, but the one thing agreed is that we will not do anything that endangers the CR dwellers (except Kenny, the CR lawyer, and Mr. Dis Connect. They are immortal, so we can vent frustrations on them all we want to)

***PARTY RP*****
"We gotta freeze this thing, NOW!" Wilek shouts urgently.
"We'll do it!!!" Two voices ring out simultaneously. Everyone turns to see the Wonder Twins, from the old Super Friends show, march up to the cocoon.
"Let's do it!" they shout. They press their fists together.
"Power of an Air Conditioner!" Zan shouts. "Power of a bucket of water!" Jayna screams. Immediately, they transforms into those separate objects. Jayna immediately splashes herself in her liquid form all over the cocoon. Zan begins to blow a concentrated gust of cold air....but neither of them realize that Zan's electrical outlit has gotten a little too close to Jayna's watery form.....
There is a spark. Then an explosion. And in the blink of an eye, the Wonder Twins are no more.
"What the heck happened?" Peter asks.
"Total molecular disintegration," Egon replies passively.
"What @#$*in' @#$* moron invited the @#$*in Wonder Twins any @#$* way?" Lion-O shouts.
****PAUSE PARTY RP****

Bert & Ernie move over, here comes Tinky Winky: You know, regardless of what your opinions of Falwell might be.....That just ain't right man. Teletubbies are just so damn disturbing...

Blue Careu: Hey, you should give yourself more credit. Your RP WAS good, not stupid! :)

Fire: Yes, an X-Men movie WILL happen. The script is either done or in the absolute final stage. The director will be Bryan Singer, the same guy who did the outstanding noir The Usual Suspects. From what I understand, there will be quite a cast of X-Men (probably at least 7) and the main villain will be, of course, Magneto. If you want more info, I suggest going to the website "Ain't-It-Cool-News.com", then running a search for X-Men. Click on my name to go there.
As for casting....well, nothing's official yet. I've heard lots of rumors that they're wanting Patrick Stewart to play Xavier, but that's not final. Angela Bassett was rumored to play Storm (which, no offense, I disagree with--Storm's not in her forties), Cyclops is rumored to be played by Vince Vaughn (please....please God no) , Buffy for Rogue, and I've heard rumors that everyone from Robert DeNiro to Kurt Russell to Russell Crowe (who'd be PERFECT, IMHO) to Sly Stallone to Gary Sinise to death metal singer Glenn Danzig would play Wolverine. I doubt that Van Damme would be considered, probably cause Wolverine doesn't speak with a Belgium accent, and there is that fact that Van Damme hasn't had a hit movie in, oh, about a century or two now. Plus lots of people hate him (well, everyone I know does...)
My pic for the characters:
Cyclops: One of the Baldwins. There'll all pretty interchangeable.
Wolverine: Russell Crowe (the man can do INTENSE!)
Jean Grey: Model Angie Everhart or former Baywatch star Angelica Bridges (cause honestly, giving the proportions of comic book women, we don't need her to ACT, just look good)
Storm: Tyra Banks (She can't act either, but who cares?)
Gambit: Brad Pitt
Xavier: Patrick Stewart
Jubilee: Natalie Portman, or maybe the young girl on Party of Five (get past the voice, she's be half-way decent)
Magneto: Tough one...maybe Rutger Hauer, but he'd have to lose a lotta weight
Rogue, Beast, Skipper and Mary-Anne: I really don't know who'd be best to play the others.
Anyway, look for the movie to (if all goes well) debut Summer 2000 (which, consequently, will probably be the date for the first of the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy.....)

Doug: There WILL be a Blade sequel. Enough fanboys went to see the first one, so the new one will be made. I've heard that Michael Morbius (of Spider-man fame) is being considered for the baddie.
Oh, and where do I get Netscape Composer? Do I have to buy it, or do I need to download it from somewhere?

Kylianna: I hate to tell you this, but YOU KILLED A CLONE!!!! HA HA HA HA!!!!!!! There's dozens of them, here me!!! DOZENS!! YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHICH IS THE REAL ONE OR NOT!!!!!
Seriously, don't ever do that again. I ain't joking.

Jackal: Ever listen to Stern? There's a funny little bit about a "Hank the Angry Dwarf Greeting Card" where Hank says different messages for different occasions, and one of them is "Congratulations! You finally got AIDS!".....Oh well, I thought it was funny in a sick, sadistic kinda way.
Oh well, hope you're healthy. I wouldn't want that particular little virus on anyone.

Demona: What the heck was wrong with you? Geez, you went through the gauntlet. Hope you're okay now. :)

Hello, people!!!

I just came from the hospital. Just how many people in here HATE hospitals? I do more! Just wait 'till I tell you what they did to me...

I had this AWFULL ache in my stomach. They took me to the hospital. It was empty, and I thought that it was going to be fast an easy. It was at 2:00AM! The nurses were just telling jokes at each other! And I was agonizing!!! I cursed them in my mind... Anyway, they had me waiting an hour, imagine me, sitting in a lonely chair, AGONIZING, trembling for no reason at all, about to throw up, and the nurses telling jokes!!! [snarls]

They FINALLY checked me out. I was trembling even more, and they sticked something in my mouth for 60 darn seconds!!! [eyes glow red] When they finally took it out, I sighed in relief. They sat me in another chair, I looked around, and they had a needle in their hands!!! They said "We need some blood..." I could see the evil smile on their faces!!! I was trembling, and they took TWO BOTTLES of blood from me! And they just said "Thank you", while I was about to faint! I forced my eyes to roll back to their places, and they took me to the doctor. I was still trembling, of course, and he started to ask me some questions. He asked me if I was pregnant!!! I almost fainted!!! Then, they told me that after the doctor checked me out, they were going to cure my ache. Can you believe that THAT doctor was as slow as a turtle!!! He was slow, and the ache started again, and I almost screamed! And he just pointed at me and said "Guilty." They took me to a bed, and they asked me to turn around. I did so, and I could see a HUGE needle on the nurses hands! I was about to scream and run! They pulled down my pants a little, and injected me that stuff, in my butt! Can you believe that it still hurts??? I can barely sit! And, do you know what they injected me? A sedant! Grrr...

So, as I was telling you, they needed to take some X-Ray's of my stomach. The guy that did so was handsome, but not as Goliath, of course... [smiles] My eyes were closing by themselves because of the sedant, but nothing happened in the X-Ray room.

They took me to my bed, almost asleep, and they rested me there. No pillow, no blanket, I was freezing!!!!! FREEZING!!! They had me waiting 30 minutes for the IV, and I was trying to keep my eyes open. The nurse finally came with three IV's. No, I swear that this is the truth! And nothing more than the truth! Anyway, the nurse took out this HUGE needle, and she asked me to close my fist. I did so, as fast as I could, and she looked for my vein. Right in the wrist... [shudders] That hurt. When she finished, I looked up, and they had me connected to two IV's at once, a little one, and a big one. I couldn't take the sleepiness anymore, and I closed my eyes...

I don't know more after that, until I regained consciousnes...

I woke up because the nurse called for me, about eight hours later! She called for my name, two times because I didn't answer, and she sticked something in my mouth again, for 60 seconds! I hate that! She took my pressure, and walked away. I cursed the nurse again because I had a beautiful dream... I was with Goliath, in paradise... [smiles]

I looked up, and the two IV's were gone, instead, I was connected to another IV, bigger! I rolled my eyes, and wished to go home... I looked next to me, and my grandma and my mother were eating, and I asked them to give me some, and they said: "No, sorry! The doctor said you couldn't eat!" And they ate more. I had an AWFULL thought, I thought that the doctor was laughing sinisterly, even harder, and harder, and harder...

I growled. "I hate hospitals!!!" I screamed to the night. Everyone looked at me, and then resumed what they were doing. don't want to go to a hospital again. Never again!

At least, the ache is gone. And I thanked them for the sedant. I needed it!

Note: Her butt still hurts.

***************PARTY RP*************
Ironwolf looks around”Hey can’t we use the forcefield surrounding the house to cage the beast? Or at least slow it down?” Looking at the Ghostbusters”think you can rewire redirect, or re whatever to the frocefield?” noticing part of the creature moving toward the group “excuse me ” walking to the front of the group”Lockheed if this doesn’t work you are porting out of here understand! Snort? No that was not a question!” Shifting to his fighting form Ironwolf grows about 3 feet. The large dagger shift up with him and now resembles a short sword. Energy left over from his trip through the frocefield crackles up and down his spine and his eyes glow white as he waits for the creature to try and attack the group (especially Jewel D)or the call for them to go in.

"Jewel*D! Freeze!"
(Jewel*D cuts off the flame, and her eyes fade from the deep red to frost blue. Meanwhile, the creature is breaking out of it's cocoon. Wilek grabs Lockhead out of the way, and looks at Argent.)
"What is Jewel*D WAITING for?!?!"
"You can't just go from valcano inferno to Artic ice storm! Jewel*D needs time to cool down!"
(The creature is slowly emerging. Everyone begins to charge up any sort of weapon they have.)
"Uh, Argent, it's coming!"
"Just a minute!"
"We don't HAVE a minute!"
"You're right! NOW!"
(The room temperature drops considerably, with icicles forming in the rafters. Jewel*D blasts out air that's so cold it BURNS. The cocoon freezes on contact...)

Art> One of the most beautiful pieces of art I've ever seen no longer exists. It was done in chalk on the sidewalk at my university. I passed by the artist as he was starting on the way to class one morning -- there was nothing but a few lines on the pavement at that point, I figured he was just writing out an ad for something or other. But he was still there when I got out of class an hour and a half later, painstakingly applying the chalk, layer upon layer. You know the picture of the two little cherubs? The one where the little boy cherub is kissing the little girl cherub on the cheek? It was that picture, rendered in chalk on the pavement. I watched him working on it for a full hour before he finished.

And it was *real.* It practically breathed. It was better than the original, if you ask me. The artist only did a close up of the two cherub's faces, against a light blue circular background. Coiled around the edges he created a scroll that said "Happy Valentine's Day, Megan. I love you."

What a wonderful gift to bestow on someone, and all the more beautiful for its ephemeral nature.

This was yesterday. I walked back to the place to look at it again. But when I arrived, there was only a particolored smudge on the pavement, like a puddle of blood from a mortally wounded rainbow. People were walking on it, which I didn't mind so much. The picture was destined to fade and pass away, and the artist knew that when he chose the side of the busiest path on campus as his campus. But one hulking churl actually *kicked* at it as I watched. I had to turn away.

Humans are such contradictions. Among us we have people who will spend hours pouring their skill and artistry into chalk-paintings for the sake of love. Among us also, we have arrogant, shallow cretins who will actually go out of their way to destroy a lover's gift to his beloved.

I believe that there are more artists than destroyers. I have never doubted that even for a second. There are moments of sorrow, though, to balance the joy to which we are heirs. By our creation of misery, we come to know its opposite -- ecstasy. Or perhaps it is the other way around.

TMNT> Great topic, they were my favorite too. My opinion is that the producers kept on getting horassed by the kids parents to make the show 'tamer'. Also the fact they really cheapend the animation and story plot of the show. Other wise the charactors were o.k., my favorite is Leonardo (swing those blades, dude).

****TIMEDANCER SPOILERS****

It's getting very interesting, this has to be my favorite of all the series. I was a bit surprised to read the part when Brooklyn sang. That would have been great to see animated. I can't wait to read Part III.

****SPOILERS END****

I would like to leave you with a joke. It's about a Magician and his parrot.

It takes place during World War II, on a cruise ship.
A Magician poorly entertain the guests and crew. Everytime the Magician messes up a good trick, his parrot mocks him in front of everyone.
The captian tells his first mate to kick the Magician and his parrot off his ship immidately before the guests get really restless. So they put the Magician and his parrot on a life boat, and left them floating the middle of the ocean with the Magician's trunk of tricks.
The Magician and his parrot watch as the cruise ship dissapear from the horisine, then they look at each other. The Magician suggests that he tries to do every one of his tricks until he gets it right. The parrot simply rolls his eyes and lets out a fustraited sigh.
Meanwhile, far off in the east there is a Russin sub that spotted this little boat with a man and a parrot. The captin assumes that it is spies and orders his crew to send out a tarpido to blow them out of the water.
After failing every trick he had, the Magician decides to try one last trick. As he's about to finish the trick, the boat is struck by the tarpido. The Magician, the parrot, and the trunk of trick are thrown up into the air. They land in the water with a splash, except for the parrot who simply float down, and lands on a piece of the boat.
The Magician looks around with a perplexed look on his face, while the parrot calmly looks right, then left. Then looking more and more confused right then left. Finally he looks at the Magician with a fusterated expression. With a heavy sigh, the parrot finally says: "Alright, I give-up! What did you do with the BOAT!!!"

(Hee Hee!)

Gabriel- I'm not the mad one who made the story four parts. Originally it was only two. But they were two really LONG parts...

James- You HAVE gone insane, admit it. Now you're just plain rambling. Water buffalo?

Dumlao- GREAT IDEA! The scene that jumps to mind is another Sata line. "Why did we have children again?" "The moon was full, the birds were singing..."

**JIM'S PARTY**

Jim walks into the basement to see where all his guests are going to. "Hey guys, whats going on down here?"
"Um, we're kinda trying to save the world from this mutating Pokemon thingie!"
"Oh, okay. Whatever. Just don't blow up the house. Insurance has been murder the last 18 times that happened." Jim leaves nonchalantly, apparently not aware of the sevarity of the situation.

In the topside part of the party, Jim notices a dragon arrive. "Draco! Buddy!" The dragon with the Sean Connery voice address Jim.
"Yes, I am here. And I've brought a friend!" Coming in right behind Draco, is Puff, the magic dragon. "Would you believe it? He was just froliking in the autumn mists in a land called Honalee." About then, yet ANOTHER guest arrives at the front door. Jim goes to answer it, and in walks the entire muppets and Sesame Street crowd.
"Um, okay..." At about that point, a football crashes through a side window. "Now what?" Jim asks, as he sees a someone he hadn't expected to see. (Click the name!)

*walks in and looks around* Wow, there are so many posts here I feel like I've been gone for at least 2-3 days! *g*
Anyway, salvete familiares. And thank you to the people who said my writing is decent. :-)

RP: You're supposed to use the existing ongoing stories? *rubs her forehead* Oops, guess I was too busy off in my little world, indulging myself. Sorry. :-P

Ironwolf> Thanks for clearing it up on the AD&D cartoon. Now I'm getting all nostalgic for those 80's cartoons I watched. *sigh*

X-Men: I used to read all the X-books. I agree, Cyclops and Jean Grey got annoying; he was too straight-laced and she was too touchy-feely. They kind of fall into stereotypes sometimes. I think Storm is all right though. I don't really have a favorite character, but I liked Shadowcat from Excalibur, and I found Rachel Summers really interesting. Her character goes through so much.

Creativity Demons: Hey, they were really harassing me today. Now that my brain had enough energy, I envisioned all sorts of bloody scenarios for that RP I started (not that I plan on inflicting any more irritation here by continuing to post it), but couldn't record them properly on paper. The stress relief becomes another source of stress... well, not actually. *g* I like messing with sentences. ("Scalpel, please!")

Hmm... did I miss anything I wanted to mention? I hope not... oh yeah, I'm a newbie still, but welcome, even newer-comers!

Valete.

**RP!!**

**The screen lights up to reveal ... the Thundercats, moving through the mansion and progressively turning the air around them blue with all the profanities. Coyote, Ravyn, and Jason discreetly move aside, letting them pass and trying not to listen to them.**

Hmm .... interesting ...

<"What's up with them?" "Whoa dude, this is pretty f*BEEEP!*d up here.">

**Coyote whaps Jason upside the head.**

<"Thanks. I needed that.">

I gathered.

**PAUSE RP!!**

RL enjoyment (for once): Two good things happened this evening ... my aunt let me borrow her shower, so I'm feeling better than I have in *weeks* (at least since the hot water pipe burst), and I got to watch Lucy Lawless beat up on Calista Flockhart on "Celebrity Deathmatch." And the coolest part was that Lucy won the match! (Although the *way* she won ...)

New fic: Thanks to everyone who's given feedback on "Friends and Mates."

RL Ravyn: Welcome back! We missed ya ... I missed ya. (kinda ;)
And you have impeccable taste in X-people! :)

jewel: Your muse is quite the diva from what I gather. :)

Nudes: Well, I never got the chance to do a life class ... wish I had, then maybe some of my anatomy would be better. (sometimes I suffer from Rob Liefeld syndrome ... huge-chested, tiny-waisted, huge-thighed, microscopic-footed characters, both male and female.) Tried to do my own life-studies with my ex ... but she wasn't too receptive.
As for nudes in fine artwork ... many are very tasteful in the way they're done. And besides, they're much more interesting than landscapes. :)

Argent: From what I understand, the new ones are going on Kids' WB ... not sure the age of them, though. The syndicated "Pokemon" is already going through second-rotation on the first season ... Tuesday they re-aired the Fuchsia Gym episode.

Christine: YESS! **high-fives fellow Steve Jackson Games devotee**
I've had so much fun creating GURPS characters ... just never got a chance to use them ... and besides that, I lost my books!! (I bought exactly two: the GURPS Master System and GURPS Supers.)
BTW ... I know you were a consultant/writer on a couple of GURPS books, right? I've been dying to make up GURPS character sheets for some of my fic characters ... happen to have a spare cheat sheet I could buy off of you? :)

DumlaoX: A very good idea, my friend. Run with it! :)

Heather: Glad ya found your room! :)
Actually, I should've done it last night, but I forgot that I have Netscape v. 3.0, which can do uploads. :)

**RESUME RP!!**

Well, I'm going out to get some air. The cussin' Thundercats kind of wrecked it for me.

<"Wait up, I'm with ya.">

Jason?

**absently turns** <"Oh, you two go ahead. I think I'm going to have a chat with the T-Cats.">

Whatever.

**Coyote and Ravyn head outside, near the tank. Coyote looks up, knocks on a side panel.**

Hey! Gearhead!

<"WHAAAAT?!">

You two aren't wrecking the inside of my tank, are you? Tank Girl already took care of the outside, I don't need any more redecoration.

<"Nah, we're cool." "Don't worry about him, Coyote, they'll keep it straight.">

Okay ...

<"Come on, let's take a walk up and see how that football game's going.">

**Coyote nods, letting Ravyn lead him as the screen winks off.**

Hello.

**** Mulan Spoiler *****

I love it ! Mulan and Musha made a great team , well so did that little cricket Cri-kee. ( I'm not kidding that's the cricket's name ) Hmmm...the three soldiers Ling (guy in yellow) , Pou (big and large guy in blue) , and Yo (Saying , it's like saying wow but the first w is a y)are excellecent supporting characters.
My favorite scene was when Mulan was trying to bathe in a pond and those three came in and she tried to get away from them...and you know why too. And when Ling wanted to get to know Ping (aka Mulan) , Mushu bit Ling in the butt. And he thought it was a snake and those three ran ! ** laughs **
And when Mulan got her horse Kon to cover her up from showing Mushu was brushing his teeth from biting Ling.

" That was vial !" Musha quote. Then after Mulan got a towle over she said that " I don't want to see anymore naked men." Then right after she said that the whole army of naked men ran past her and her eyes were the size of golf-balls.
After they ran past Mulan and Mushu , Mushu said to Mulan " I ain't biting anymore butts." And he shook the toothbrush at Mulan as he said that.
Over all it was a good movie. Go get it.

***** Ending of Spoiler....maybe *******

Anyway , I got it yesterday and I watched it four times. And my mom even likes it ! I was so surprised.
This June a new animated movie is coming out ! Tarzan !
** blushes ** Sorry , but..** looks at Robby and smiles sheeply ** I can't help it but Disney's Tarzan is cute.
** walks away and blushes redder **

**RP!**

[In Jim's basement, the team is looking on as Jewel*D and Lockheed do their best to burn the dark coccoon to a crisp before it can hatch. Ray: "Uh-oh..." Wilek: "That's never good." Egon: "The increased temperature is accelerating its metabolism and growth rate! We have to lower the temperature in here! Now!"]

**PAUSE RP!!**

Stormy> <<Creativity Demons: I find all this rather weird...my demons are characters from my fics who take on enough personality to step OUT of my fics and start hanging around my real life, usually making smart-arse comments.>> That sounds exactly like what happens to J. Michael Straczynski. And look where he is now. ^_^ <<I wonder if the design of the Gate is copyrighted?>> Probably, yes. It's not technically a character, but it's still a proprietary design, like a tricorder or a superlaser.

Jonathan> Ack, that Dark Races game sounds hideous! Someone should reach through the phone line and *tweak* that game company's collective nose. Alas, my modem doesn't yet have a feature that allows this. (But Miriam's organization is working on something...)

Dumlao X> <<I want a most memorable quotes section. Quotes from the episodes of TGS.>> Well, Sata's "cheerfully strangle you" quote springs to mind, as does one of her lines from The Witness. In fact, there are a LOT of those sorts of lines...And I apologize for the whole Greek art discussion. It's my fault for bringing it up and I had no idea it would blossom into this whole big blasted discussion. If I get back from the party alive, you'll be within your rights to bludgeon me with a drunk penguin.

Favorite X-Men characters> Well, my only experience is with the animated series, so I wouldn't know as much as comic fans. Probably Gambit, Lady Deathstrike, Mr. Sinister, the Shadow King (or whatever he was called; I don't remember the real name), Dark Phoenix, the Shi'Ar, and Professor Xavier.

**RESUME RP!**

[The coccoon begins to split open. Dark Mage Wilek: "I think we're dead." Wilek: "There's only one thing to do. Blow up the house and hope we take this thing with it and escape in time." SJ: "Are you nuts?! Don't you remember? Jim's last house got blown up and I don't think even HE's rich enough to afford his house getting destroyed at every stinkin' party!" Argent: "Yeah, Jewel*D can do ice just as well as fire!" Wilek: "OK, try to freeze it, put it back into hibernation. If you're successful, we can hack it apart in its sleep. Forfexx will LOVE that job." Alucard: "And if they *aren't* successful?" Wilek: "I don't know...I just don't know..."]

OK, everyone, a proposal to throw around here.

A little while back (a few days ago) I hit the Dawson's Creek website. Like I said before, I'm a big fan. In any case, there was one section that caught my eye. In this section, it had a scene from the show and a quote or quotes to go with it. I felt that this was a great thing, really emphasizing the good dialogue.

Here's my proposal.

For the main TGS site, I want a most memorable quotes section. Quotes from the episodes of TGS. Along with that goes a picture depiction of the scene where the quote pops up in. That way, if someone wanted to look up what people thought were the best quotes or more memorable ones, they can go here and see pics as well.

Here's where you fans come in.

While I will post this up on the official site, the drawings and quotes come from you all. If you feel you have a quote you like and can draw the scene to go with it, do it. When it's done, send it over and I'll put it up on the site. You can go solo on this or do it in groups, but all I need is the pic, the names of those involved, the source of the quote, what ep, and the quote itself. TGS staff has no involvement in this whatsoever.

This is your chance to put something down for the series. Are you up to it?

Hi everyone around!

Fire: Ra was the first of the gods. he beared alone the first pair of gods: Schu and Tefnut. They had the children Geb and Nut, who were parents of Osiris, Isis, Seth and Nepthys. Osiris and Isis were mated and get together Horus, who becomes the first pharao. This is one of many legends and it conform on the creation myth of Heliopolis, but there are others too.
If you want to know more abou Elfquest, you can visit the official homepage. It's on: http://www.elfquest.com/
There also updated infos about the film.

Sorry Deuce, I would have liked it to have on of those T-shirts.

Art: Nothing about Renaissance or greek art. They are both very beautiful and i think it deosn't count wether the bodies are naked or not. Main thing you can recognize it as body. but there is also this so called modern art with its lines and points. I don't understand this kind of stuff and i don't understand people who buy it for a lot of money.

Robby: FOUR PARTS!!!!! YOUR'RE MAD (sorry)
I WILL DIE OF SUSPENSE BEFORE I'VE READ THE LAST PART!!!!
-DEEP DISPAIR- sighted
It's such a great story.
***Spoiler TD***
I loved the part when Brook entered Isis temple. It was Brooklyn like we all know and love him. It was surprising that he is a singer, but I liked it. Is their a melody for the song? Oh, their are so many questions. What is it about Meryt? She is a gholem now and brooklyn said it was his guilt. How and why? I thought Apep is banned.
***end spoiler TD***
FOUR PARTS!!!!
you know there is ETERNITY between now and two weeks later!!

**RP ACTION**

Jerry and Tom watch as Kitainia and the others wait outside the B&H Building. Jerry calls the Bishop and asks, "What should we do? We can get them now if you like." "No, wait," Galante commands his goons. "The device I gave you. Detonate it first." "What about Kitainia?" Jerry asks. "I came to Las Vegas to fix her demon-posession and get her back from that guy you said corrupted her to evil. Shouldn't that be my first priority?" "Silence! The device I gave you will solve all your problems and mine, as well as Kitainia's." "How? This is just a chaff super-bomb that will knock out Las Vegas's electricity for a few days, right?" "Yes," the Bishop snaps. "Now go to the place I told you and detonate it. Then worry about your old girlfriend." "Alright," Jerry shrugs, hanging up the phone. He and Tom drive off, just as Kitainia and the others notice Kenny's cries for help.

The screen switches to the hotel room. Mist and Gubio are both hacked into the Marsh system, spreading viruses that are wiping out files and destroying his systems. They are not doing any damage that can't be repaired, but reparing it will cost Marsh a huge amount of money. In the meantime, Gubio downloads the plans for the MG-5000 Flying Battle Tanks, hoping to later look at them and find a weakness in case the Ravens ever have to take them on. Doug watches them at work, nods, and turns to face the CR.

**PAUSE RP**

Coyote: Yep, that was a small thing, considering what happened in your fic. I enjoyed it very much, btw. Good job. Can't wait till the next one. (Hope that when I have Graeme fall in love, I'm able to do it as well as you.)

Blade: Good movie. The bad guy in there would do well for the voice of the Rose in my fanfic, he was a good character. So were Blade, Whistler, and the girl. Wonder if they'll make a sequel to Blade, I'd watch it. :) Too bad Blade will probably never meet Buffy or Faith, they'd go well together. Oh well, he will be meeting Slayers in my fanfic saga. Heheh.

Morrigan Scenarios: I like #6 the best. Emrys and Corbie, hmm... I wonder what will happen with them.

Wilek: $ Cool virus. I'll have Gubio save that for his final blow to Marsh's system. We want to annoy him a lot and cost him an enormous amount of money before we nuke the system entirely. Thanks. $

Green Baron: Thanks, read the guestbook and posted. I liked Atilla's comments. Anytime you and him want to get back into the RP, feel free.

Lawrence: Kitainia and I don't practice Wiccan ourselves, though we have both known people who do. We also know a pagan couple on campus named Ezra and Sarah, but they're not involved in the witch stuff.

Estra: Nice fic, I liked the action and characters. Keep up the good work!

X-Men: Cyclops and Phoenix get on my nerves sometimes, too. I think that's partly due to the fact that they try to be parents and leaders to all the other X-Men. In my fic saga, this has so far annoyed Rachel to no end. Fortunately, she won't be bothered by them for a while. Not until after "End to the Rage," anyway. Then the next time we see her she'll be the one bothering someone. Wait till my as-yet untitled Party on Avalon fic to find out who.

TRC: Kitainia and I sent you the fics. Hope you got and enjoyed reading them.

SJ: Word Pad is what I use to write my fics, it works fine for me. If you can't use it for some reason, try Netscape Composer (which you'll need anyway to make the file .html) or Microsoft Word. Those are the two best programs for making stories, too bad I don't have the latter. Whatever you decide to do, good luck.

**BEGIN TIMEDANCER SPOILERS**

New Timedancer ep: Good job on this one, TGS Staff. I liked the character development on Brooklyn, Sata, Meryt, and the Egyptian clan. Still don't know how Khensu became a bad guy, maybe we'll find out in the next part. I also like Apep, he's a very menacing bad guy. Good complement to Isfet. Wonder who'd be doing his voice if the ep were televised.
Only two small problems I have with him. 1. If fay and dragons can't hurt each other, how did one side ever manage to win the war? 2. I thought blue dragons breathed lightning, not called it down out of the clouds. Oh well, small difference. Apep is still a very neat Dragon King. Wonder if all the dragons in TGS are bad guys, hope not.

Altogether another good job. Can't wait till Part 3 next week. Thanks for the entertainment, TGS Staff.

**SPOILERS END**

AD&D: Yeah, the monsters have to be given personality, too. Otherwise the game's a huge yawn. And like Kitainia said, the players, the GM, and the house rules are also as important as the game's canon rules. That goes for GURPS and all other RPGs, too. Of course, bringing in cool Gargoyles and Dragons (like the ones Todd mentioned) is also a very good idea.

Nude art: I like it myself, but porn is disgusting to me. Pretty much agree with Fire and Jewel about the ethics of it. As for nude modeling, Kitainia and I have both done it. (Guess who got more catcalls.) You can get a lot of money from the easy job, all you have to be able to do is ignore the class Beavis and Nutheads (or have a big friend eject them) and stand still.

Robby: $ That's Kitainia's intention. She wants to save Kenny from constant pain by making him a cool and funny character. She's doing it because she pities the guy. Odd, isn't it? Oh well, as long as we keep getting cool RP eps out of it, the Kenny development is okay with me. $

Guess that's all for now. Back to watching Vengeance Unlimited. Bye.

**RP AGAIN**

Gubio taps a few keys and smiles. "The virus I just sent is really nasty. It will scramble and encrypt all company e-mail correspondence. Given how much pro decrypters charge for their work, breaking it should take a sizable chunk out of Marsh's savings." "Good work," Doug tells the hacker. "What about all that stock you bought, what are you going to do with it?" "I'm going to sell it in a couple days, Mist tells me the price will go way up." "How does Mist know that?" "My cat has a stock instinct. I don't know how it works, but it's always right. I'll sell the stock, get big money, and start buying up shares of Marsh Industries." "Won't Marsh notice you doing that?" "Not if I keep distracting him with computer problems. The cash they take up, coupled with the mass workers' strikes that have just started at his factories because of my viruses preventing the workers from getting their paychecks, and Marsh will be forced to throw stock out on the market just to keep paying for his company to exist." "And you keep buying it until you have a controlling interest?" "That's right. I already own four percent of MI's stock, the guy I'm giving the company to when we're done with it has another twenty. All we have to do now is get twenty-seven percent more." "What if the proceeds from that stock you got doesn't cover it?" "Jammer wasn't the only one in the casino last night," Gubio grins. Mist meows and calls attention to her diamond collar. "Some old bald guy who was in there put that on Mist after she helped him win a game of craps. I figure it ought to be worth whatever money I need." Doug nods. "Okay, good luck. Keep it up. I'm gonna go see if Kitainia needs any help at the B&H Building." Gubio and Mist keep working as Doug leaves. The screen goes blank.

Sorry everyone, the t-shirt idea has been scrapped. I'll post pictures of me wearing mine, though. :-)

One thing I was thinking about: there's a big difference between nude art and pornography. Nude art is beautiful to some people. I find some of it disturbing, but some of it's neat. And no, I'm not one of those immature losers that snicker every time I see some.

The biggest difference is their raisons d'etre. Nude art exists because... well, it's art. Porn exists.... *long pause. Longer pause. Deuce picks up a dictionary and leafs through it. He reads briefly, then turns back to the room.* OK, porn exists to "cause sexual excitement". Nude art is there 'cause it's art.

I think.

All new people> Howdy! Nice to see y'all 'round these parts! :) **hands them all welcome cookies**

Nudity in Art> Heh, you guys should've seen my freshman intro to art class. First day of school, the teacher has a slide presentation of famous art, and all the little immature weirdos went nuts. Although I will have to say, nudity in art is fine with me. Artists do some very beautiful paintings of nudes, and I don't see anything wrong with deciding what to paint, so what if it happens to be a nude person? And, like Green Baron brought up, you can get some good money by posing for an art class...**evil grins**

$I definitely *love* everyone's RPs. They've really helped liven up this party to where it'll go down in history! (well, maybe not quite, but ya know what I mean.) :)$

X-Men> My absolute fav character ever is definitely Jubilee. She rocks!!!! Second to her would be Gambit and Nightcrawler. And no offense, anybody, but Cyclops and Jean Grey really got on my nerves after a while. Although I *did* like their wedding...

GREEN BARON - There was a theory floating around in Arthurian scholarship for a while that Morgana la Fay was a later adaptation of the Morrigan, but the general consensus now is that there's merely a coincidental similarity betweeen the names. (There was a similar theory about Cuchulain and Arthur's nephew Gawain; I don't know if that's still taken seriously. For that matter, it was once even theorized - although I doubt that it's taken seriously any more - that Cuchulain's father Lugh might have been a partial original of Lancelot. For myself, I believe that Lancelot was pure fiction with no Celtic antecedents, a creation of the High Middle Ages).

More FRPGs out there which portray gargoyles in a bad light? Boy, talk about being insensitive! And people wonder why so many humans hate gargoyles. Somebody needs to have a talk with the people in charge of the role-playing game companies about negative stereotyping :)

Kitainia- By the time you're done, I don't think it'll be so easy to mercilessly kill Kennyon occassion anymore. You're really developing him!

AD&D- I've been Dungeon Master in a few games of this at school. And whenever I've been as much, people have actually begged to be let in. Apparently I tell a pretty dang good D&D story... But then, I don't use the blasted books that speicfy the monsters, I use my own. And believe me, Dragons and Gargoyles are much funer creatures in my games...

Nude drawings- Um... I'm an artist myself, but its generally a subject matter I don't handle... But then, I generally draw anthromorphs anyhow... They've got fur even if I didn't draw clothing.

Fire- Wendi Pini (The main creator, artist, and writer of ElfQuest for 21 years now) hasn't given an update on the movie recently. Last I heard they had storyboards done, and some of the early pencil animation was donw. That was a year and a half ago. When Wendi says more about it, I'll be sure to let you know.

Length of Sun and the Serpent- Clearly,my mind tricks worked, at least on Malibu. While it was my original intention to make it seem like a two episode story, in the long run, it will be four parts. I don't lie about this, because according to the schedual, the week after it finishes a story I helped on comes out.

Hmmm... *decides to use the Brook and Sata pic*

*** POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR "THE SUN AND THE SERPENT: PART II" ***

Great story!!! I'm beginning to think that if Brooklyn doesn't tell Sata the whole story about him and Meryt that she will end up "cheerfully strangling" him... He was a bit insensitive at times.

I loved the scene where Brooklyn walked into that place with all the females. Especially his comment about "First there was famine, now there's feast" or whatever was said... ;)

How long is this thing gonna be anyway? It's a great story and I can't wait until next week to read the third part of it. I'm glad Timedancer's back... I'm a Timedancer freak... ;)

Anyway, that's all I'm gonna say for now... See ya!

The janitor looks at the room, promptly hands her a mop and a bucket and leaves.

Hey all, I was just reading the 1st week of the CR archives. I noticed that Rahsaan was the second poster in the CR, and the second question asked was Fire Storm's question about the relationship between Brooklyn and Meryt. Seriously funny in light of the current eps of Timedancer.

Dungeons and Dragons cartoon > anyone who's read my book knows that Solarrin is just the Dungeon Master's evil twin ...

Other stuff > I will be at Radcon in Pasco, WA, this weekend, so I won't be back until Monday. My first real appearance and signing! Yay!!! Oh, but the Curse of the Shadow Beasts site is down at the moment; hopefully it will be fixed soon. Which can also be said for my furnace. Two weeks now of making do with a propane space heater and an electric blanket. Brr. Going to be nice to go to the con just to sleep in a warm room!!

I think the propane fumes are getting into my brain ...

In her vision she makes it back is all bumed out and bobby walks up to her as a surprise.

**Green Baron arrives**

Hello everyone.

AD&D 2nd edition> I never really got into the original, but I like the 2nd edition. Perosnally, I don't understand all the controversy over the game. I played it, but it had no negative impact on me or really too positive of one. it was just fun, but it got boring since no else played it with me. Dracandros created rules for having Gargoyles as PCs and NPCs. he posted them as true Gragoyles as opposed to the constructs in the game. They would be great with certain realms liek Ravenloft, Mystara, or Masque of the Red Death (btw, those three were my favorite Universes). Masque of the Red Death was not magic focused and it was in the 1890s of an alternate Earth. Being from New Orleans, I loved the way I could use my city's history to make a game setting. I also like the alignments and the use of them, and I preferred to add individuality to the monsters as opposed to making them fodder. As for the cartoon, it was okay, but I owuld have loved a show set in the Mystara Universe or Ravenloft.

Stormy> I'm taking my first law class, too, and the Professor is a hoot. BTW, Louisiana is the only state in the US that does not follow common law.

Kitainia> Attila is a naughty little kitty, but he's a cute one, so he can get away with it :)

Muse> I don't have one. I guess I rely on the Virgin Mary for inspiration, but I have never asked her for inspiration with writing. I guess I should.

Creativity Demons> They don't have any forms. they are flighty and inconsistent as tehy fly around my head and then leave. I need to catch them and use them :)

Nudity in art> Sorry Wilek, but I will have to respectfully disagree with you on this case. The nudity in Classical Art is wonderfully done,a nd afte rthe age of 15, I stopped acting like Beavis and Butthead when I saw any. I recall there is art like this in teh Vtaican musueums and teh Sistine Chapel, and if the Pope hasn't ordered this stuff covered, then I guess it's okay :) As for paintings of certain acts being done, I find that less tasteful, especially photographs, but I don't think it should be censored or outlawed. I do think bookstores should use discretion in selling such stuff.

On a related note, my College is paying $50.00 for people to pose nude for some art classes. I shoudl find out about it. $50.00 is $50.00, and that is great for just a few hours of posing nude :)

Jewel> I'd have to agree with you, especially since this form of art may get me $50.00 :)

David> I wonder if Leonardo and Rafael made statues of David too :) **dodges ripe tomatoes**

Kermit> What will you say next? Are you going to reveal that Santa Claus is a child molester?

Steve> Actually there is a connection. Both Talon and Panthro are panther-based humanoids :)

Morrigan> I wonder if Morgan LeFay was a variation of Morrigan, or have I said something herectical?

In that case....

A girl that is engulfed in flames suddenly jumps out of the lurking shadows and sets of several fire balls all around the room. "Oops" she says, "Sorry... I forgot that I was collecting swamp gas for that project of mine... heh..." Glances about and then turns off her flame.
*End RP entrance*

X-men> How can I *not* comment on this one? First off, There's going to be an X-men MOVIE?! YES! Is there a web page on it? Also, My fave X-men are Gambit and NightCrawler. (though, if Joseph still counts as an X-man, (if he survives...) I'd have to count him as one of my faveoites. Fave X-men females have to be Marrow and Rouge. And I have to name my fav. villian to. Mister Sinister. *shudders* he's just so creepy. BTW, who ever thought it cool that Gambit helped him kill a whole bunch of mutants, ARE YOU NUTS!? Oh... wait.. never mind. I forgot where I was. ;)

***TGS TIME DANCER SPOILERS***

Great new Episode! ^_^ T'was fun! I could encourage more pictures though. Liked the effect of Brooklyn in the Dragons eye. Teres just one thing I'm wondering, and it may be nit-picky. In Eqyptian myths, I thought Ra was the son of Osiris and Isis. Only, Ra was concieved after Osiris was dead and Isis was in the form of a falcon (subsaquently had a falcons head) but lets not go into that part of the Egyptian myths (they had some pretty... intresting ones.) Am i wrong of are ya'll just changing that about for Time Dancer? I loved how ya'll handled the Egyptian gods and goddesses, even though you did use all of them. (thank you! I don't think I coulda' kept trak of them all) I must, in all congradulate you on a well writen work. ^_^ Now I just have to wait a week to see if Sata saves their ever-loving butts or what! ^_^
***End TGS TIMEDANCER SPOILERS***

Nudity in art- being an artist myself, (not professionally yet, but I'm working to it. ^_^) I understand the art side of drawing nudes. Its hard, challenging,and fun. (keep that mind out of the gutter! ;) ) But I also see where people use that wrongly, and as an excuse to advance and indulge thier own fetishes. Like anything, it can be used for good or bad.

Kitiana- did i get your name right? Anyhow, thanks for the thing-that-whatever-it's-called-name-just-flew-out-of-my-head of This weeks Buffy. I can't watch it much anymore, but it was nice to find out what is gong on. ^_^

Robby- Dang, that Hurcules Episode sound awsome! I'll have to wait for the re-runs... Also,

ElfQuest Movie- I'm guessing you know more about this than me. Have you heard any idea on when it will be coming out?

ummmmm-
**RP EXIT**
Fire looks around, trying to think of something to say when a distant bell rings.
"Darn. Time to go. Bye, ya'll!" Fire smiles and bursts back into flames, and lifts off the ground, preparing to fly away. Then she pauses rembering something.
"Oh, yeah... I forgot! I brought a gift for ya'll!" She flyes strait up, over everyone, and opens up her small back pack. She reaches her entire arm and upper body into the small backpack, and pulls out a pie that is bigger than she is.
"oops!" She said "innocently" as it "slips" from her grasp and falls filling first towards the CR people.
**SPLAT!** As the CR people start to pull themselves from the pumkin-pie mess, she smiles down and says,
"BYE!" And flys for her life.

Hey all, just slept through my only class today and I'm *not* proud of it!

DumlaoX RE mp3s > All righty. Looks like you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't. Isn't security a pain when you don't have enough memory? <The trouble with MP3 sites is that they die out as quickly as they spring to life> Yup yup. Which is why I never miss an opportunity to strip-mine a good one once I find it. :)

Also, I was thinking about this today. A nice feature for the CR might be a seek function that sends you to the first post of the day, searching by date. It would make it easier to find where you left off without having to scroll down through a large amount of posts.

Creativity Demons > Lately mine have changed their song from "Forget about schoolwork! Write!" to "Forget about schoolwork! Play Quake!" Must... resist... temptation... :)

TRC > Next time you sign onto ICQ you'll get a message that "Zimorodok" has added you to his contact list. That's me. Bionic6.zip will be on the way soon after.

AD&D > Never got into it much. A friend tried to get me to play, but after playing the Star Wars RPG for so long it just seemed so much more complicated. That and the fact that the guy who tried to get me into it was the biggest doofus that ever walked the earth.

Jonathon > Join the madness! Don't be afraid, we won't bite... hard. :)

Okay, gotta go. Later all.

Hi all!!

I usually don't post here, (you all scare me.)but I just thought I'd answer todd's piece on Gargoyles in AD&D.

Todd: If you thought they were bad, you should see the Gargoyles in the Dark Conspiracy: Dark Races vol. 1. There are four types of Gagoyles listed.

Gargoyle, Lesser: There are Male & Female Gargoyles but they're not interfertile - they can only reproduce by having sex with humans, which is ultimately fatal for the human in question.

Gargoyle, Mediterranean: Thay're very good at passing as stone statues. They also like humans - especially the Heart, liver and brains, But they will pretty much eat an entire human.

Gargoyle, Rock: They don't care about humans at all. If humans leave their nests and queens alone, then they don't annoy humans. Yes, that's right, I said Queen - rock gargoyle broods are organised like bees...

Gargoyle, Subterranean: Originially, scouts for a dark lord, they thought that Humans could be conquered easily. They've spent about 10,000 years hiding in the darkness, hating us since we kicked their butts...

But the Gargoyles in Nightlife are cool.

Ironwolf: Ad&d 3rd edition? I don't what to buy ANOTHER set of rules. (carefully ignoring the fact he's bought 6 different editions of Traveller...)

Goodnight all!!!

Creativity Demons: I find all this rather weird...my demons are characters from my fics who take on enough personality to step OUT of my fics and start hanging around my real life, usually making smart-arse comments. Like BLACK WINGS PASSED OVER--the Holocaust Fic--it came out of Dylan P. Blacquiere taking me to the art gallery in Charlottetown where there was a Holocaust exhibit, and we were discussing fanfics and he said to me, "What do you think Wagner would make of this?"

I could HEAR Wagner's voice.

As soon as I got home, I wrote the story.

Gabriel: RP (Role Play) is kind of an ongoing story where, if you choose to take part, you build on the story written by other posters, writing yourself in as a character. There's no prescribed plot...everyone just adds their own ideas.

Deuce: Regarding shirts...I don't know about contacting Disney. Technically, the Gathering T-shirts for '97 broke copyright violations because they had a drawing of Brooklyn on them, unsanctioned by Disney. I don't think they got in any trouble for that, but just in case, That's why the '98 shirts didn't include any direct pictures of the characters, and the '99 shirts are based on fan-made characters i believe.

I dunno if you CAN contact Disney and say, "I want to make shirts based on whatever, how much will it cost me?"

Though...come to think of it...I wonder if the design of the Gate is copyrighted? TimeDancer is NOT a Disney copyright--the idea is Greg's--and if you're not putting a pic of Brooklyn on, then you're not violating Disney character reproductions...A pic of the Gate is probably blurring the lines, but you're not reproducing a Disney character....

I can't see any problems at all with a Dark Ages shirt that had, say, this pic of Asrial on it, as long as you cleared it with Christi Hayden *who drew the pic) and the TGS staff who created Asrial. Seeing as it's not a Disney character.

But I've only taken one law class in my life...this may be one for Pogo...

Muses> Oh the girls love this. My muses are the original ones. It leads to the obvious question can one dragon share his room with 9 women. (Eat your heart out Three's Company) Mostly I hang out with Clio. Especially while working on pieces like Sun and the Serpent and Ill Made Knight. She takes history very seriously. For Physics and Calc though, I turn to Urania. The muses are very creative but some like Terpsichore are capricious. I guess that's the difference. Me talking to the muses and they talk back. But aside from the muses I also get help from some of the other gods, like Quetzlcoatl and Thoth.

Incidently in the myth I researched, Shu, god of wind kept Geb and Nuit separated, but it could just as easily have been Re. Egyptian myths are more fluid than others.

Wilek, calm down. The crisis you are referring to had nothing to do with discussions of nudity in art. *That* was a rather vulgar discussion of sexual matters which was followed by a flame war between me and Jackal.

This is way different. Nudity is different to sex, and this discussion relates to art, not sex. Ofcourse DumlaoX has final say about this matter, but since I believe he had said he didn't mind a circumcision discussion (saying that circumcision is a a matter of hygiene, not sex) I'm quite certain he'd agree with me on this one.

But ofcourse if you don't want to enter the discussion, you are quite free to remain outside of it. Just calm down. Remember, DON'T PANIC. :)

Sorry for the 3X post, but my mind's just not right lately. Maybe it's the octopi's fault; they've been busy on my fourth fic (finally).

We almost got the room taken down last time with something like this. Let's not do it again. 'K? OK, maybe it's my fault for whining about it in the first place and thus eliciting these reactions, and I apologize if that's the case. But really, I never intended it to become this. Can we drop it please? Thanks.

One thing that I do like about the 2nd edition AD&D version (although I've only seen the books in stores and haven't bought them): they're very literate. They had an entire section in the Player's Handbook of "historical/legendary" originals for the various character classes, even including some relatively little-knowns (such as Archbishop Turpin from the Charlemagne legends for the priest class), that wasn't in the 1st edition.

(Of course, one regrettable feature that's the same in both editions: slandering gargoyles as evil monsters. One of these days, Goliath and his clan are going to sue TSR for libel, assuming that Demona doesn't break into their offices first and shoot them with her laser cannon :) Hmmm.... Interesting fanfic possibility).

The one exception to not having the 2nd edition material, I might add, is "Legends and Lore 2nd edition", which I downloaded once from the Internet, and which contains information on various legendary beings, adapting them to AD&D. It includes a number of familiar figures from "Gargoyles" and TGS: Raven, Coyote, Grandmother, and the Thunderbird from American Indian legends, King Arthur, Merlin, Morgana la Fay, and Garlon for the Arthurian legends, the Morrigan and Cuchulain for Celtic myth, Odin and Loki from Norse myth, and so on.

Actually, though, the only RPG that I really pay that much attention to these days is "Pendragon", a very good role-playing game set in Arthurian Britain with admirable research. I highly recommend it to any RPers out there who also like Arthurian legend.

**RP ALERT**

Kitainia and everyone in her group (except Gubio, Mist, and Doug) have arrived at the B&H Building. "Okay, people," Kitainia says as they stop the car. "Gubio got the blueprints of this place for us. It has 30 floors. First is lobby and cafeteria. 2nd offices, storage, and breakrooms for the firm's now-law-affiliated employees. 3-26 lawyers and their staff's offices, conference rooms, and breakrooms. 27-28 file storage, 29 law library. The top floor has the senior and managing partners' offices, and the big meeting room." "Kitainia," Jammer asks. "Why are you telling us all this? Kenny's the only one going in there, right? Right?" "Yes, but in case we have to go in ourselves. You never know." Kenny nods, grabbing his briefcase. "Okay, I just have to go up there and tell those guys I'm not dead. And conclude our meeting, be right back." "Wait," says Keith, clipping a mike to Kenny's inside coat pocket. "So we can hear what you and the lawyers are saying." Lathrop also slips a glowing crystal in his pocket. "Take this, too. It will allow us to teleport to your location if you get in trouble." "Thanks, guys," Kenny nods at all of them, he then gets out and heads inside the building. As the team settles down to wait for him, Kitainia turns to make a long CR post.

**PAUSE RP**

Doug's Creativity Demon: I've seen it a few times, it's nasty. Big, mean, built like an ape. Other than that it kinda looks like Bud Bundy. Enough writing allows Doug to drive it away. His muse is me, or so he's told me. As for my own demon, I think it's the Demon Bud's evil mother Peg. Twice as mean, ten times the whiner. And Doug's my muse, too. :)

Kylianna: Same to you, thanks for the compliment.

Todd: Sorry I got the name wrong again, it is awful hard to spell. Maybe I should just call him Merlin.

Robby: $ Thanks. Hope you like what's in this post. It's another major Kenny bit. $

Favorite X-Men: I've always had a crush on the Professor, don't know why. Must be my thing for intelligent men. <elbows Doug in the ribs, Doug grins> I also like Magneto, Jubilee, Iceman (who will appear in Doug's fanfic sometime), and Wolverine.

**WARNING- BUFFY SPOILERS**

Mandi: Synopsis? Ok. Buffy and Faith got a new Watcher who's a real dork. They both rebelled against him, in the process letting their Slayer hormones take too much control. Angel and Giles were much displeased by this. In the meantime, a bunch of "Eliminati" vamps came to town, led by an ugly fat demon named Balthasar. The vamps tried to get this powerful amulet for the demon, but Buffy and Faith stopped them. Taking the amulet, they trail the demon to a warehouse. Realizing they don't have enough weapons to beat him, Faith decides to rob a sporting goods store of weapons. Buffy helps her for a moment, but they are interrupted by cops and forced to flee after knocking them unconscious. Meanwhile, the Mayor is making plans for some kind of "ascension" after a "hundred days." He and Trick capture an Elim vamp, and the Mayor's assistant is sent to spy on and find the others. Buffy and Faith go after the Elim vamps again that night, fighting their way through an alley full of them on the way to the warehouse. In the process, Faith stakes the Mayor's assistant, mistaking him for a vampire. She and Buffy try to save him, no luck. They bury their feelings and continue on, meeting up with Angel, who reveals that the vamps captured Giles and the jerk-dork Watcher guy. The three head to the warehouse, free Giles, kill the vamps, and shock Balthasar to death by knocking a light into the bathtub he's trapped in by his enormous weight. Bal dies, but not before warning the Slayers that "When he rises, you'll wish I'd killed you all!" Then the scene switches to the Mayor and Trick. Mayor does some arcane ritual, Trick releases the Elim they captured. The Elim cuts the Mayor's head in half, but the halves go back together, and Trick stakes the Elim dead. The Mayor grins, checks off "Become invincible" on his list of things to do, and says that the "hundred days have now begun, I cannot be harmed until I rise." Obviously, he is really some kind of super-powerful demon. The last scene of the show has Buffy confronting Faith about the man she killed. Faith disposed of the body, and totally does not care about what she did. Hopefully, she'll suffer for this attitude next week. That's all.

**BUFFY SPOILERS END**

Selanit: I like Scenarios 6 and 4 the best. Thanks for posting the ideas.

Blade: I saw that movie. Very cool. Good action, acting, and so much blood. I like the last thing, too, of course.

Green Baron: Saw your cat's post on the guestbook. Naughty Atilla. :)

Estra: Read your fic, liked it. I liked your original character, and the well-coreographed action and plot. Keep up the good work!

TRC: Doug e-mailed you the stories using my account. Hope you got them and that you enjoy.

Gabriel: We know Ra's not Marduk, we saw Marduk subservient to Titania in "A Call to Arms." And he's not Avallach (Oberon's dad), either. Avallach was dead long before "Sun and Serpent." Sounds like you have some catching up to do on TGS.

Demona Taina: Ah, so I'm not the only one who likes going one-on-one with my boyfriend in a game of b-ball. Doug and I like doing what you and Goliath are, too. Of course, I usually win. :)

Fleur: $ Forgot you were with us, sorry about that. Hope the above description of the B&H Building was good enough. $

SJ: Oh yeah, the Metal Gear names are dumb. But the characters are cool. The reasons for the names are that Metal Gear Foxhound soldiers are given code names based on their qualities. Revolver Ocelot- uses a revolver, and likes torturing people, like cats torture mice. Vulcan Raven- likes ravens, carries a vulcan gun. Sniper Wolf- likes wolves, she's a sniper. Solid Snake- he's a solidly powerful soldier, and as deadly as a snake. Etc.

AD&D: 2nd Edition is much funner with house rules. Especially the ones our group has dreamed up for Group exp awards, improving ability scores through training, and some other things I can't remember right now. The players also contribute very much to the quality of the game, as does the GM.

David: Actually both Michelangelo and Donatello made one. I've seen both, don't know which I like better. They do look mostly the same, after all.

**BEGIN SPOILERS FOR COYOTE'S NEW FIC**

Coyote: Great job on this one, friend. I like Lili a lot as a character. And Graeme and Liberty make a very good couple. I also liked what you did with Arianna, Rosanna & Rain (glad they made up, I didn't like to see them fighting so much); Brooklyn, Sata, and Vinnie (LOL at that drunk scene); and Coyote. Good cliffhanger also, can't wait to see the next story. Keep up the good work!

**END THESE SPOILERS, BEGIN ONES FOR NEW TIMEDANCER RP**

Sun and Serpent Part 2: Great job on this one, TGS Staff. I really liked the character development done on all who appeared, especially Brooklyn, Sata, and Meryt. Great plot development, too, both in 1952 and the flashbacks to Ancient Egypt. I liked the development on the Egyptian clan, especially Harthoth and Nuit (You know, the Egyptian dieties Geb (earth god) and Nuit (sky goddess) were lovers, forced apart by Ra. I wonder if we're going to see something similar happen with the characters Geb and Nuit in these episodes). I especially liked Brooklyn's reaction to the Temple of Isis, and his Caanova attempts had me ROFLMAO. It was also great seeing Sekhmet again, she's cool as ever. <grin> The other bad guys were also developed well, especially Khensu and Isfet. I also like Apep, he oozes evil. A good candidate for Evil Dragon King (and don't worry, readers of Doug's fanfic, we figured out a way to work in both Apep and the EDK Doug already has (Null). Just as long as Apep dies in Sun and Serpent, and I think he very well might. <fingers crossed>

Nice pic of Brooklyn through Apep's eyes. The big battle with Apep I also enjoyed, great action and character development. I liked the cliffhanger, too. Can't wait to see more of this episode, hope the week between now and when I do flies by. Thanks for the entertainment, TGS Staff!

**SPOILERS END**

Traveler: Now you have your dragons? Happy? If you want to see more, Doug will have "The Blackout" posted at GFW real soon. But just so you know, he is waiting for your e-mail on "Captives" before he posts the story. That, and when he has the six or seven scenes left in the work done. :)

That's all for now, must sleep. Later.

**WARNING- ANOTHER LONG RP INVOLVING KENNY IS AHEAD**

The screen changes to Kenny going into the B&H Building. He takes the elevator to the top floor, walks up to the secretary, and says, "Hi. My last meeting with this firm's lawyers was rudely interrupted. I'm here to talk to them again." "Oh, alright," the secretary shrugs. "They're just finishing a big firm meeting. Go right in." Kenny nods, thanks her, and goes into the conference room. Bakkur, Hotsettler, and the others don't look surprised to see him. "Hello, Kenny," Bakkur says. "We thought you'd be back." "You did?" "Yes, we did some research on you. It seems you're immortal, and nothing we can do will make you stay dead." "So you're not going to kill me again?" "No, that would be a waste of our time. The Ravens chose their lawyer well, the one lawyer we can't kill, so surprising." Kenny nods, taking a folder out of his briefcase. "Thanks for not killing me, dying is very painful even if I always survive." He sets the folder on the table. "I have here testimony from all the Ravens and the other people who are being sued by you in this case. It's backed up by hard evidence and proves that Roger Marsh, your boss, is financing and working with a cadre of terrorists led by three psychotic clones that is hellbent on taking over the world." Hotsettler laughs. "Tell us something we don't know!" Kenny's face blanches. "What? You guys know Marsh is working with Thailog, you're not just his employees?" The B&H lawyers all begin to laugh. "We're part of the cadre, as you put it," Bakkur grins. "When Thailog takes over the world, we lawyers will be in charge of the courts, and the only law firm that exists on Earth. As the modern world cannot be run effectively without attorneys, Thailog and Marsh put us all on retainer, working for them in all legal matters in exchange for the promise of which I just spoke." "Really?" Kenny asks. "Why are you telling me this? I mean, I could tell the Ravens." "No, you couldn't." "Why not?" "Because we have a use for you, Kenny." Bakkur snaps his fingers and a secret door opens, then five clones of SJ's dad enter. "You are immortal, and the good doctors here think it's because of your genes." "My genese?" "Yes," Bakkur nods. "The invincibility gene. You have it, Mr. DC has it, soon we shall also have it." "Excuse me?" "You're going to make us lawyers immortal, Kenny. Like you. Take his DNA, Sevarii!" The clones draw huge-needled syringes and advance on Kenny as the same two burly lawyers from before leap up and grab him so he can't run away. Freaking at the sight of the needles and the thought of them going into his skin, Kenny begins screamin. "Help! Kitainia! Keith! Traveler!! HELP!!!!" The screen unfortunately fades out, to be continued.

X-Men I want: Gambit, Gambit, Gambit. One of the few times I've ever really had improper thoughts about a drawing (until I came across RYoichi Ikegami's stuff; my roommate and I are planning "Wall o' Ikegami men" so we can go into estrogen shock every day) And aside from Gambit, Nightcrawler. I loved him. And Wolverine.

Les femmes d'X: Rogue and Illyana Rasputin (yeah, I'm old school X-Men).

X-Men that could be dropped into a pit and never seen again: Jean Grey, Cyclops, and Storm. Please, just go away. The three of them take "annoying" to all new heights.

**PARTY RP!**

[In the mansion's basement, Wilek, Dark Mage Wilek, Alucard, Harrison Ford, the Ghostbusters, Argent, Jewel*D, Ironwolf, Lockheed, and SJ--there seems to be some confusion regarding who exactly is here; is this list correct?--are facing an enormous, slimy, pulsating, softly glowing coccoon. Wilek: "Ecch. We'd better take this thing down before it hatches. Man I wish I had one of Traveler's flamethrowers. Maybe we can use Kiss' music for psychological torture; it's been proven to induce pain in a lot of sentient species--including gargoyles, if I'm not mistaken." SJ: "Dude, Kiss rocks. Don't insult them like that." Wilek: "That was a joke. But...why would I kiss or insult rocks? <g>"]

**PAUSE RP AND BEGIN NEW TGS EP SPOILERS!**

Wow. WOW. This ep was *incredible*. A real toad strangler (which, let me assure you, is a Very Good Thing). Ma'at's remark about helping with a weighing was...somewhere between creepy and hilarious; the latter because it was so casual. I wonder if the doggoyle Ammut was THE Ammut, Devouress Of Souls. (Yes, the original Ammut was female.) If it was...then I wonder if Brooklyn realized that the thing licking his face was in the habit of eating ppl's hearts. Interesting to see Sekhmet again. What really surprised me about this ep was that numbers song. I had no idea Brook was so musically inclined! I'm a music enthusiast myself, so this really adds a new and interesting dimension to this character. The picture...well, it was well executed, but Brooklyn looked *really* doofy. Very out of proportion. Was this just because of the curvature of the reflection? As for the big battle at the end...it was custom-written for Traveler, wasn't it. :) Once more, with feeling: *WOW*. Another really, really good ep from the TGS staff...and another blow to my already tenuous sanity, knowing that there are two more parts...

**END TGS SPOILERS!**

Coyote> Read your new story. There's little I can say, other than it's great! As usual. ^_^ (A new TGS ep and a new Clan Manhattan story on the same night? Joy overload! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!)

Selanit> Hm. Thanks for the input about that program. Now all I have to do is find a skilled programmer with a lot of time on their hands. I'd try it myself, but my programming skills are like unto those of a moist lemur. :) BTW, my octopi may be showing up in my fics, albeit without wings or fur. Look for mention of an alien race called the Psyll.

I agree with everyone who's said this: Let's drop the whole Bert And Ernie thing! Or has it already been dropped?

Richard> If I haven't said it already, welcome to our ever-so-pleasant little madhouse! And thanks to you too, about your input regarding that program. :)

Stormy> Your creativity demons MAKE you write? What I wouldn't give for some of that; my octopi never let my stories proceed when I want them to. When I least expect it though...They're capricious little boogers.

Theresa> Flaky? LOL!

Kermie> Big Bird? Please.

Deuce> A TD shirt? Ultimate kewlies! Man I wish I had one of those. Too bad I'd have no way of getting one; I dare not give my mailing address over the Internet and I can't go to the Gathering. Dang it. :(

Godzilla> Oh cool, we have a 300 foot tall lizard now! Welcome, and try not to destroy the building. ^_^

SJ> There's nothing actually wrong; Notepad's just inherently unable to handle large files. I learned that the hard way while writing my fics. Until I got my new machine with Netscape Composer, I had to do everything in WordPad (which I prefer to Notepad).

Kaioto> <<how ~does~ one go about getting on the A-List for such events?>> You're a CR dweller, so you're automatically invited. :D

Blue Caeru> You're a rather good writer; you certainly know how to build an atmosphere.

Ironwolf> AD&D: Oh, the show and the game, I remember it. I wasn't sure if that was what you were referring to. I've never played it. Anyways, I really liked the show. Did they ever make it back to their reality?

Robby> I think your party is hilarious! And THANK YOU SO MUCH for actually reading my crappy RP and saying it was all right so I don't have to feel stupid. Maybe I'll save it for later use so I can retool it. I've never written action stuff before, but I think it's good for my venting.

TODAYS EPISODE OF HERCULES ROCKED! For those of you who didn't see it, it had a crossover with Aladdin! It was great! Jafar returned, Al returned, (In his king of thieves outfit no less!) Jasmine returned, Abu returned and was associated with Icarus... Jafar got Hades to laugh maniaclly... Its a shame the episode was so blasted short and typical!

Kermit- Big Bird? Shut your mouth.
<I'm just talking about Big Bird!>
I can dig it...

Argent- Fun credit card commercial. But such things usually are.

Mandi- Haven't had time to read the misting just yet, but I will shortly.

Muses- Mine is difficult to decribe, but I have him drawn out on paper. He has taken a personality all of his own, often commenting on my stuff even when I don't want to. Yall have met one of his many forms as Jim Iza Noying (general personality and name he takes), but you just don't know him till you've see him as an anthromorph!

Stormy- Longer name may be a good idea. Story's is too dang similar to yours! And Fire Storm and Firestorm have the same problem!

Estra- Your story is another thing I have to check out later. Eesh, trying to read every garg fanfic on the net is getting tougher now that I'm writing it too...

Elfquest movie- Ah... If what Wendi Pini says is true, the storyboards are totally done and a lot of the early animation is finished. Now its only a matter of time before Cutter, Skywise, and Leetah and the other 3 dozen elves make it to the big screen. I've already bought my ticket.

Gabriel- Temporarily, the Archmage, Atalanta, and Phoenix Gate pictures are broken. Steps are being taken to fix them.

Also, RP means "Role Play"

TRC- I liked Marrow as well, but she's already been watered down to only a portion of the character she was, since Cannonball left. Gotta admit, its always fun to see a whitebread being attracted to the darkest member of the team...

Taina- At first I thought you were just hyper like another Demona I know, but now I know the truth, you ARE insane.

Godzilla- Woah, cool! First Kermit, now you... We're getting all sorts of celebrities lately. Sign my autograph book?

Deuce- Hate to say it, but produce more than one shirt, and Disney will likely get at cha. Our middle school had the rights to use the songs from Aladdin, but someone made some patches of the carpet ride that went on uniforms and BAM... We were in trouble.

Fluer- Please, provide this evil Earnie web site if you can!

SJ- GREAT RP BIT! Those guests are as unexpected as they come, and they add ANOTHER musician to the party...

Also, I agree with your X-Men assesment completley. Though I personally believe Sinister is infected with the legacy Virus. All the clues are there.

Kaioto- With one of Jim's parties, EVERYONE is invited. So come along and join the fun! There's only a couple of days left, (I intend to end it the 15th if the various bits have come together by then) but plenty of time to have fun!

Blue- Not bad stuff at all. Pretty decent actually, I don't think you have to worry about anyone laughing at you.

Coyote- Egads, another story I have to read...

**JIM'S PARTY**

Elton John stares at Michael Jackson. Jackson stares at KISS. KISS stares at Weird Al. Al stares at Davy. Davy stares at Demona, not at all concerned with whats about to go down, his heart is broken.

(Play song attached to my name for optimum effect)
Elton hums a single note. Michael hums the same note. KISS does the same. Elton hums a string, and the others copy him. This goes back and forth until something interesting is created.

Meanwhile, a large rumbling comes from the front lawn. More guests have arrived. Jim pulls himself away from the take on 'Dueling Banjoes' and greets the Thundercats!
"THUNDERCATS ARE LOOSE!" he calls out. The cats come in, each in their own fashion, all swearing like there's no tommarrow. "Gee... They've changed."

Uhh ... guys? Is anybody going to play anytime, or are we just going to stand here and stare at each other?

Story: Thanks for the info on "Metropolis."

James: Oh sure, they all say that ... and then next thing you know they're commanding tanks driven by doggoyles and rescuing seal boys and water buffalo men ... ;)

Kennedy at the Berlin Wall: Hmm, I actually thought it had something to do with Kennedy's accent, that the Bostonian twang turned "Berliner" into something else. Oh well ...

Richard: Welcome.

Green Baron: *L* You crack me up with your astute take on Teddy Kennedy. :)

Coldstone: I'll e-mail you privately about the screenplay. I think you'd be interested in it ... at least I'd hope.

Creativity Demons: Actually ... to tell the truth, I have no creativity demons. They never attack me, mainly because they know I'm much stranger than they are. :)
I do, however, have a muse ... I finally found one.

Demona Taina: You, my new Puerto Rican friend, are quite possibly one of the most twisted folks I've ever had the privilege to meet. Not that I'm complaining any ... I'm not. :)

**RESUME RP!!**

Princess Estra -Well I liked the story, nice action. I had only two complaints. One was an editing mistake.
the door left open, and her that her caretaker, a young woman named May,
Change that. Only other bad comment is why didn’t the three psychic solders gang up on her? Elisa could have then been a distraction to them letting Sylvia beat them.
Good stuff. Nice action. Neat use of her powers. Over all a nice intro.

Blue Caeru CAN it Be. You have heard of the game right? This Cartoon was about six kids who played AD&D. They went on a carnival ride devoted to it and got zapped into the world of (Que. theme music) Dungeon and Dragons. I loved it. It let you see what you always imagined on the screen. Sigh the good old days of cartoons are gone.

Kaioto > AD&D was as good or as bad as the players. Name a better game at the time. Now 3rd edition looks pretty good. Ever looked at Deadlands?

Sevarius Jr. > Mabey you can either bye works(fairly cheap) or save by chapter in notepad or chapter parts ex chapt1a, chap1b etc. Those are the two simplest I can think of.
To the Staff I and lexy have been discussing liz's age. so please tell us how old she was at the beginning and her age now!! Please with chocolate and whipcream and sprinkles with a cherry on top!

Ironwolf> AD&D? What cartoon is that?

Greetings, everyone. I am stressed out and I've decided to vent by getting creative, so here is my first attempt at an RP. Other than that, this post pretty much has no purpose, so everyone who's not interested can just move along...

****beginner's RP starting here, read at your own risk (of dying laughing at the bad writing :-P)***
Blue Caeru walked into the cavernous stone chamber, willing her footsteps to fall silently on the black marble floor, which had odd designs etched into it. She abruptly stopped when she reached the center of the room to survey the unfamiliar environment. The torches lining the walls did little to dispel the dimness, adding to the already ominous atmosphere. She felt her heart beat slightly off-rhythm and then quicken, a sure intuitive sign that this was not a good place to be. Her breathing quickened as well, and Blue sought to control her visceral reactions as she concentrated on listening for the softest sound and looking for the most minute movement. Suppressing a sigh, she wondered what had compelled her to enter the seemingly abandoned fortress in the first place. "Curiosity," her mind whispered mockingly, "the same kind that killed the cliched cat." Blue unconsciously shook her head; she had to do it anyways, as the purpose of her journey was to learn all she cou-
She suddenly snapped out of her musing when a faint but cold breeze rustled her long, midnight-blue coat and stirred up loose strands of her dark hair. She cursed under her breath as she realized she had allowed herself to lose focus, and when she looked up to find the source of the disturbance, what she saw caused her to panic and freeze...
***end stupid beginner's RP (hope you're still with us)***

Whew, I think I've been reading/watching too much action/sci-fi/fantasy lately; maybe I should just sit down and open up my copy of "Crime and Punishment." I don't even know if I'm going to continue this melodramatic venting. :-P I would have liked to be humorous, but I think I'm still too stressed. I also would have liked to include some violence, but my brain is too low on energy. All right, I suspect my post is quite long already, so I'll leave the CR alone now. :-) Bye!

*Walks into the CR with a Quarryhammer in both hands, striding purposefully over to the document center over at the corner of the room. " 'scuse me. Pardon me. Look out ...' Arriving at his destination, the first machine to get his unwelcomed attention is the color copier. Aiming for the , 'Fragile, put nothing on top of this machine' sign, he burries the hammer head deep into the color Cannon, which makes a feeble shower of sparks before expiring. At the sound of the ring-beep, he hefts the hammer over one shoulder and sweeps it horizontally like a baseball bat, catching the fax machine and sweeping it off the counter where it is crushed thoroughly on the wall.
Satisfied that his first two attempts were successful, he jacks the hammer and lets the whining buzz of the charge begin to climb, as a maniac grin splits his face. He sets his feet, hefts the hammer and swings, screaming 'Malakai!' at the top of his lungs. The resultant explosion causes a significant dust cloud which takes a few minutes to clear. When visability is again significant, he is pounding what appears to be the remnants of the duplexing tray into commemorative plates that he proceeds to distribute amoung the CR contributers ...**

Creativity Demon: My creativity demon is this 5 inch tall orange-colored Yiddish Leprochaun named Murry. He and his pet ferret live in the Duplexing tray in the English deartment were I work. The ferret does not bite very hard, but Murry sounds an aweful lot like Gilbert Godfrey to tolerate for long ... Anyway, the only way to appease them from tormenting me is by giving over at least three large, nearly completed copying projects to be sacrificed in the bowels of the copier from hell. The department head refuses to get rid of the damn thing because the tech guy keeps telling him that all Konicas come in flaming red and are delivered by guys with pitchforks ... ah never mind.

Robby SJ Coyote: Normally not much of a party goer, but you guys know how to throw one hell of a rave ... hm ... how ~does~ one go about getting on the A-List for such events? :)

Blade - Gave me a whole knew appreciation for Snipes ... want to strange a writer or two for the way vampires were done on immunities and abilities etc. but I loved the flick ... And God help the man who stands between me and getting that sword for my wall ...

Wilek - Hey, the one rule I have always respected White Wolf for and hold true to any game I play is this ... if it ~can~ be killed, it can be killed by decapitation. Final Death for vamps, period, and werewolves do not pull arms legs and heads back together like in the flicks ... as for immortals ... well, we all know how Highlander goes now don't we ... :)

Mandi Robby - Have been reading that Mystery Science Theater (I think that is what it is) link. It is quite amusing.

Old School Cartoons: I grew up on Thunder Cats, GI Joe, Voltron, Silver Hawks, Bionic Six, Dungeons and Dragons and various others. I;m living proof that violence on TV does not breed violence IRL so long as you make it a point to dehumanize everyone that gets hurt/killed. hehehe ... Actually, I think having stereotypical heroic role-models in those shows was what made them redeemable, the kind that loathed to take a life or fight needlessly.

Old School AD&D: I loved that game :) Where else can a seventh level Ranger w/ 18/92 strength inflict 15-19 pts of damage per hit with a dagger to an ogre? While we're at it, look, a Cavalier! Hey, he does not have 18's in Strength Dex and Con yet ... YET being the opperative word. Why did they ever think they needed to revise things I wonder? :)

Thought: 'This statement is false.' What? No Back to the Future Style explosive end to the continuum? Paradox disappoints as a spectacle in this world ... (Good thing we have Mage to work with ...)

Has anyone heard about the casting of "The Queen of the Damned" movie? It ticks me off alot that they're skipping the second book, and they might not even make this one, which might be better. If Anne Rice can hold out until 2001, all the rights to The Vampire Chronicles reverse back to her, and Warner can't do anything.

To tease or Not to tease> Fun as it may be. I don't think I'll tease Sun and Serpent this time around. 'Let the story speak for itself. The rest is silence.' We dragons can be very cryptic.

Just a side note, I was pleasently surprised at today's Hercules and the Arabrian Night. Feature everyone's favorite street rat. Typical crossover stuff, 'my bad guy takes on your good guy' my sidekicks get along with your side kicks. But hey, it was good to see Aladdin and Jasmine again.

There is one thing I can give you all about Sun and the Serpent. The voices I heard for the characters writing it.
Khensu - Christopher Judge. (Stargate fans will get this one.
Meryt - Helen Slater (She played the voice of Talia in BtAS. Daughter to Rache Al Ghul)

A lightbulb flickers on over SJ's head. "I got it! I know how we can solve everything!"
"How?" Everyone asks.
"Just gotta make a phone call." He picks up a nearby phone and punches in a number. "Hello? Ace? Yeah, we need you and the boys down here, STAT. Yeah, bring your stuff. Okay, see you in a few."
"Who did you call?" Wilek asks.
"You'll see. It'll take them till the end of the post to get here."
****PAUSE PARTY RP*******

I NEED TECH HELP!!!
Okay, here's the deal: I'm trying to write a fic, but Notepad, for some reason, doesn't wanna take files if they're of any considerable length. Wordpad sucks dead donkey, and doesn't do jack. Any suggestions as to how I should go about things? I've never written anything this long before, so any secrets you experienced authors can tell me would be appreciated.

Interesting bit of Real Life: I was in Borders Books today, and what did my little eyes behold, but a Gargoyles: Book and Rubber Stamp Kit. For only---ONE DOLLAR. A steal! I mean, it's kinda cool....it's got Demona, and Elisa, and Davey, and Lexington, and Brooklyn, and 2 Goliaths....so anyway, I take it up to the register, and the clerk gives me this look, and asks the required "Will this be all sir?", and I say yeah, and he gives me this look like, 'You do know this is a kid's toy, don't you?', and I give him a look that says 'yeah, I know that, but Gargoyles is one of the best animated television shows ever, it's funny, it's dramatic, it's wonderfully written, it's perfect in every little way, and I, good sir, am a proud Gargoyles fan, so give me my stinkin' rubber stamp kit', and he gives me this look that says, 'whatever, weirdo.' So I pay him, and leave.
But afterwards I beat him with a tire iron for his impudence.

Okay, maybe the tire iron bit wasn't true.

Creativity Demons: Mine looks just like Robert Blake in David Lynch's LOST HIGHWAY. If anyone's seen that, you'd know he's a veeeeeeeery scary lookin' dude.

Doug: I don't know if you like this kind of thing, but McFarlane Toys (best toymakers around, IMHO) have made a whole slew of Metal Gear: Solid action figures (they're not dolls, dammit!). They look kinda cool, but the names are just so freaky....."Revolver Ocelot"? Sheesh, you ever wonder if these creators aren't just playing jokes on us?

AD&D cartoon: I vaguely remember that. Early eighties, right? My mom wouldn't let me watch it, cause at that time she still bought into the "Dungeons and Dragons are evil, satanic games designed to corrupt the nation's youth" craze that was going on.
Heck, just the other day she mentioned that it "really worried her" cause I have a lot of White Wolf Vampire and Sandman: Death stuff hanging around my room....Geez, parents! Can't live with them, but you need their financial support!

Goliath vs. Jordan: Something tells me this is one championship Michael ain't gonna be winning.

Deuce: Hey, cool T-shirt design. Get everything finalized, as far as price, when you could send them out. But put me on the list.
Say, howzabout a Sevarius Jr. t-shirt? Yeah, me in a James Bond pose, with a couple of beautiful women hanging on each arm.....with the title "Hey's only a LITTLE crazy" stenciled somewhere.....I know I'd buy one! Several boxes worth actually....(Wait--does this mean I'd have to pay royalties to myself?)

X-men: My two faves are the underrated ones--Beast, and Iceman. Beast is a comical genius--I only wish they'd have used more humor for his character in the tv show.
Iceman, on the other hand, is a freakin' riot. He's funny and in recent years they've finally began to give him his props, really developing his character (and making him a stronger fighter). I mean, he does have a really powerful mutant ability; he can make his body into ice, and freeze most anything. He's a lot deadlier than he's given credit for.
My LEAST fave X-men are Cyclops and Gambit. Cyke cause, well, in every incarnation I've seen of him, 'toon or comic, the guy's a total 'starch-in-my-shorts' dick. As for Gambit....well, I know he's supposed to be the "tall, dark, and handsome" sexy bad boy, but I've never liked him. Didn't like his relationship with rogue. But, for a moment I thought he was kinda cool for actually participating in Mr. Sinister's little Morlock genocide.

***RESUME PARTY RP*****
Tires can be heard screeching outside the mansion. Everyone crowds around the door to see who's arrived.
"Well, they're here!" SJ announces proudly.
"Who?" Egon Spengler asks.
In through the door storm storm four men dressed in gaudy, bizarre outfits. They're faces are painted, and they're each carrying a musical instrument.
"KISS??????????" Everyone shouts in unison.
"Yeah!" SJ shouts, triumphantly. "Ladies and gentlemen, I give you KISS!"
For a moment there is silence.
"How the hell is KISS gonna help us out?" Demona shouts.
SJ scratches his head. "Um....Hmm....Well, uh.....um....whoo boy. I, uh...I don't know. I just wanted them to stop by, I guess. They throw a meeeeeean party."

T-shirts> Estra, you're on the list.

TRC, I won't be going to the Gathering '99, and 2000 is too far away to plan for. I plan to have the shirts done by May, and I'll have to snail-mail them out to y'all, after receiving the amount agreed on.

I figure that I'll have to charge between $12 and $20 per shirt, depending on royalty and production costs. I'll likely have to pay royalties to Disney; anybody have any idea how I could get a hold of them? And how about TGS: would I be violating any copyrights?

HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [echo]

Coyote The Bando: You hate dentists? [laughs maniacally, points to Goliath, still with the machine holding his jaws together] Wanna be next? Don't worry, it won't hurt a bit... Right, Goliath? [Goliath, muffled: "No!"]

Deuce: [can't take curiosity] What happened with Goliath?? TELL ME! TELL ME!!!! If you want, email me the answer. I'm just so darn curious!

[thinking of something] Okay, here it is. Michael Jordan is 6' 6'', right? And Goliath is 7' tall, 8' feet counting the wings, and Pika can barely reach Goliath's toes, so, imagine those three playing basketball!!!!!!!!

And here it is!!! Jordan has the ball! Goliath runs after Jordan, eyes glowing white, trying to get the ball, Pika runs after them at the speed of an ant! "Chu..." Pika gets angry! OH NO!!!! He shocks Goliath!!!! "AHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". Goliath roars in pain as he gets blasted off the building!!! Pika follows Jordan! Jordan looks behind him, Jordan hurries to the basket!!! PIKA SCHOCKS JORDAN!!!!!!!!!!! "AAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Pika gets the ball. But... what is this??? Goliath lands in front of Pika, and he uses his tail to throw Pika to the people!!! "CHUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Goliath gets the ball, he hurries to the basket, he spreads his wings, he jumps gracefully, and he STRIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Demona Taina- [walks in] Hello, handsome. Remember me?

Goliath- [cringes] How could I forget you?

Demona Taina- Let's get this over with, shall we? [snarls, spreads her wings, gets the ball from Goliath's hands, spins in the air, throws the ball into the basket] Beat that!

Goliath- [still awed, shakes his head, eyes glow white] As you wish, Taina... [roars, runs for the ball]

Demona Taina- This is like a dream come true, handsome! [laughs, still with the ball, bounces it as she runs for the basket]

Goliath- [roars, spreads his wings, leaps into the air, lands in front of her]

Demona Taina- [gasps, leaps into the air, spreads her wings, jumps over Goliath, throws the ball, but misses the basket] Darn!!! [lands on her feet]

Goliath- [runs for Taina, gets the ball from her hands, hurries to the basket]

Demona Taina- [snarls, runs for Goliath]

Goliath- [jumps for the basket, just as Taina is about to take the ball from his hands]

To be continued...

[laughs maniacally] I always wanted to do that!!!!!!!!!!! [can't take the laughter] Me! Against the man of my dreams! I love that guy! How can he be so handsome??? HOW!?!?!?!?! [sighs romantically] And tomorrow! The conclusion of the basketball game! [smiles evilly] Live the suspense...

[posts link to her picture this time] Wanna see how Taina looks like? Then, click my name! I drew that pic with pencils, and I colored in paintbrush.

[thinking of something else] Nope! That'll be all! And please, click my name! [smiles evilly, clicks the submit button]

My Muse - The wench deserted me and then went to work for my brother , can you believe it , I clothed , fed , cared for and appreicated it and the blasted thing runs off with that backstabbing curr . Never payed me for designing his Program's start up logo either . I miss her though , since I have'nt been able to turn out any quality art since she left .

My Ghoul (Creativity demon) - *Pulls out pen and paper and starts to write as he says the following* She is the most beautiful , kindly imaginative helpful creature on Earth , she is too good to me and I am undeserving of her grace .
*he shows the room the paper , on which is written . =
**She is an awful tease , gives me the best ideas and then takes them away before I can use them . She's also got me tapped and has a large wad of C4 within my abdominal cavity , to which she has the detonator switch .** My demon wispers what I am supposed to do into my ear with sweet seductive tones and then does'nt let me sleep until I consent to her whims . *he grabs his forehead and winces in pain* , HEY CUT IT OUT , its true . Take that nail out .

Deuce : I need some cheering up , could you send me that list as well , I'd like to be able to find something to laugh about given my current mateless/partnerless situation .

Steve Gooch : Very interested in that bionic 6 stuff .

Demona Taina : Glad to see that the room has acquired some extra spice , was kind of dwindling for a while .Have you ever watched "The Dentist" or "Little Shop of Horrors" . You fit the bill of the psycho dentist in the latter better but still . We have merely witnessed a small amount of the insanity that I can practically taste within your mind . And welcome to the room .

Teasers(as in the people who tease ) : I have convinced myself that you are responsible for any and all insanity in this room .

Doug : I am becoming EXTREMEMLY frustrated with trying to access your stories on the GFW . Could you please E-mail me a copy of Inheritance and Captives .

DumlaoX : Thanks for replying to my question . Sort of . Personnaly I'm more comfortable with once a week , but whatever is good for you .

Favourite X gal - That'd have to be Marrow . Strange I know , but theres just something about a reforming cold blooded killer with bones growing out of control who got one up on Wolverene . My favourite X-man is Colossus .

Selanit : I like scenario 2 best . It also strikes me as pretty likely .

Deuce : Boy would I love one of those , maybe we should think of a T-shirt for all the others as well following the same theme .
I can just imagine one for the main saga .-
Black shirt , picture of the city in shadow at dusk , with the Aerie in the middle , shadows of the gargoyles in flight around it , and a faint picture of Madoc laughing (picture Oberon at the end of "The Gathering I " at the end where he had grown huge and we saw him through the windows) with his arms extended , a small model of the world between his palms . Then you have "Ragnnorok" in some fancy font and "The Gargoyles Saga " in the back . I think I'll try drawing that one . Though I am destined to fail . Chalk it up to bull headedness .

**PARTY RP**
Calf is seen stolling through the halls of the mansion , the sound from the party is still strong enough to shake the loose plaster , as he looks over the semi-rebuilt architecture . A loud crunching sound reaches his ears and he feels the ground slipping away below him , he quickly jumps back onto firm ground and observes the huge slab of concrete fall away from the floor leaving a gaping hole . Horrified , he runs forward and prepares an preservation spell in case a friend or lly has been injured . He immediately relaxes however as he sees Kenny's upper torso and Mr. DC's claves sticking out from under neath the slab . Kenny looks up and anger flashes across his face . Kenny: Ca'nt you leave me alone , just once I would like to go for ten minutes without being made to suffer grievous bodily harm at the hands of one of you sadistic vermin . TRC:Hey , for once I swear it was an accident . Kenny : Sure , right . TRC turns away as he continues to hear Kenny scream at him . A moment later , another huge slab comes down finishing off Kenny . TRC looks down at his handiwork . TRC : Well I suppose I should commit the crime if I'm to be blamed to be blamed .
**END RP**

Not too good I know , but as I said , the Muse left me . And the demon does a it pleases .

Ok you all, about this "Berliner" stuff: Kennedy wanted to say with: "Ich bin ein Berliner" that he is, or has become, a citizen of Berlin, but in Germany we know that "Berliner" is also a jelly donut, a native pastry of Berlin. And so it becomes very funny to hear that Kennedy is a pastry, althought we know what he meanted. You see the sentense has two meanings like "boot" or so.

Morrigan: She is a Irish war-god and she helped Medb, or perhaps Maeve (queen of Connacht), to murder Cuchulain (today Rory). She appeares in three shapes, but usualy as rave. The other shapes are as woman or as giant. In Irland they say, if you see her you will die soon.

Apep: I have read that Apep, or Apophis, is a egyptian serpent that fights every day against Ra, because it wants to keep of the sun to rise. If Ra wouldn't bann it before sunrise the world would become dark forever. Apep is also the equivalent to the babylonian chaos-dragon Tiamat. She (yet female) fights against Marduk (Lord of the sky) but lost. And Marduk created the world out of her death body. The Hebrew called it Leviathan. After all I think it could be possible that Apep/Tiamat is one of the old dragons, which has fighted against the third race and perhaps Ra/Marduk was one of the leader of the fairy folk or even Oberons/Madocs father, who died in the dragon-war.

scenarios: I like your fifth most, because there could be happen much more. Perhaps Madoc will find the bug and create then wrong infos or something like that, but this would grow to James Bond or something like that.

cartoons: Nearly everyone has watched one or more f/sf catoons, but what about the comics? There are a lot comics like "Elfquest" or "Semio"(french) which are far better then the old cartoons, but never get filmed (Elfquest perhaps soon). Most of the cartoons are after comics and so I think you can't seperate them.

X-Men: I like Gambet ( I don't know if the name is right but he is this guy with the exploding cards) most. And their is a series with nearly the same style. it is called here Wild-C.A.T.S.

OK, that's ALL. I'M DOWN AND TIRED AND GO SLEEPING NOW!!
Ciao, you all.

Forget it: Deuce, I'm interested in your T-shirts. I think they would look cool. I would buy one, if you would write how.

Kermit the Frog> Blashphemy! Big Bird CANNOT be gay! ;-)

Selanit> ["A Muse works *with* you, whereas a creativity demon throws out a tantalizing idea and then does everything it can to frustrate attempts to actually *use* the idea."] Sounds like Amy to me. :-) {NOTE: THIS IS AMY. PAY NO ATTENTION TO DEUCE. HE'S NUTS. I ONLY LIVE IN HIS HEAD BECAUSE THERE'S LOTS OF EXTRA ROOM.} Damnit, I told her to stop that!

Actually, I prefer this definition for a creativity demon: A being of pure mental energy that is attracted by intelligent and articulate people (don't know why they visit me). It flies through the air then lands on you. It digs its claws into your hair, climbs inside your brain, and spawns there. It can be released through the putting down of words on paper.

OK, idea: Who here would be interested in a TimeDancer shirt? I was thinking of this design today, and I could make them and sell them for a good price. How's this:

Black shirt
Back has the Pheonix Gate (I'd need a good quality line drawing, though). Underneath in white lettering: "To everyone else, it was five minutes — to me it was forty years."
Front has the word "TimeDancer" in funky lettering (need a cool font, too).

I could make these at school and sell them for a decent price. I plan to make one for myself, but I can make at least ten more. Any takers?

Hi ho! Kermit the Frog here!

As a close friend of Burt and Ernie, I can safely say they are not in fact, gay. They are actors paid to do a roll. Sharing a bedroom and taking baths at the same time is merely in the script, for the conveniance of having the two together for whatever scene they are needed for. Big Bird however, is another matter entirely.

CREATIVITY DEMONS: I dunno...Wagner and Luther are often quite willing to help me write their tales. Unfortunately that time often comes at A) The middle of the night B) When I'm SUPPOSED to be writing an essay C) Just before I told a friend I'd meet them for dinner ETC...you're starting to get the picture...another problem, they are VERY persistant and insist on getting their own way...

This is lots of fun when the computer lab is closed.

WAGNER and LUTHER: WRITE! WRITE!

The trouble with MP3 sites is that they die out as quickly as they spring to life. That's why the hunt for stable sites and good files is tedious. However, there's always the search engines :)

http://www.palavista.com

TIGRON-- Believe me, we are fully aware of the TimeDancer situation. There is a limit to which places we can visit and such as well as a time limit on the series itself. However, I can't disclose the info about all that at this time.

WIPING THE ROOM-- 6 for 2X, 3 for whatever, 4 for 1X. Since the whatevers can go either way and can affect the outcome, I gotta stick with the way things are for now and go once a week. Unless, of course, the room starts getting overtly huge each and every week.

STEVE-- I would do FTP except a) no space and b) the space I'm currently using to do temp storage only long enough so the people that requested them get a crack at it. Give them access to that and tons of problems erupt.

TMNT-- The history goes like this. Was on syndication. became a hit then moved to CBS (not ABC). Died out as soon as CBS killed their Saturday Morning lineup. Live action resurrected on FOX. Now cancelled.

Till next time...

Kathy> What? <scrolls down fast> Oh, cool! You mean I get to pick whether I'm a male or female carrot?? That ROCKS!

Starsinger> No, the food translation is correct too. JFK *meant* to say "I am a citizen of Berlin." But there is also a type of jelly-donut native to Berlin which is called a "Berlinner." As I understand it, you can tell whether you're talking about the donut or the citizen by the "ein." If the "ein" is there, then you're a donut. If not, then you're a citizen of Berlin. Please note that I've never taken German, so I'm hazy on the details. I'll check it with a friend of mine (Urban Hamid), who speaks German fluently. Also Swiss, Arabic, French, and English.

Interesting point yall. In the movie they mention how the slayers powers work. I seem to recall it all evolved around um hmmm Hormones and such. Now if Faith is totally giving herself to the ummm ?craving or thrall?of the power it could effect her psyche. remember she said after killing vamps she ummm dang pg umm got certain feelings um Frisky yea that will work. After all the female is the more violent of the species( a certain Drummer reminded me of this * checks sky for falling anvils, safes, or other heavy objects*:o) so a slayer is or can be more intense(that or Faith is an adrenaline junkie). Any thoughts?

Ironwolf switches back to his human form. Noticing the a group going to the basement proceeds to following occasioning wincing at MJ’s performance upstairs. "Uh guys, I'd kind of prefer the answer to my question BEFORE that thing hatches..." looking to see what they are talking about “Gulp, Lockheed wakiei wakeie” Setting the dragon down Ironwolf pulls out a large glowing dagger form behind his back. Looking at the glowing runes he walks up to the group” This is not good. What is that??” Lockheed meanwhile rubs his eyes looks around the room and sees the coccoon.”EEEp” launching himself form the ground he then tackles Ironwolf’s head” Do you mind lock I’m talking” noticing the others and Jewel D Lockheed releases his deathgrip on Ironwolf’s head and composes himself on Ironwolfs shoulder. Just then...........

Just a statement that I am glad to see new episodes of Timedancer again. I think it is the most vibrant of the series provided here and would hate to see it get less attention than say dark ages.

As for the picture any gargoyle program, your main problem would be the artwork. It also wouldnt be as easy to code as it looks on the surface. I would say you would be looking at several hundred hours of coding/program design at least, and at least twice as much art design -- not to mention the initial research. Less and you would end up with a mr potatohead gargoyle version. The police have put many tens of thousands of hours into their system of taking descriptions etc and making a computerized drawing of the suspect.

My personal creativity demon (or "muse", as she prefers to be called) is a super-intelligent shade of the colour beige, who usually manifests herself as a catgoyle: a feminine form of that doodle I posted here a couple months ago. Her name's Amy — as is her nature, she named herself. :-)

Bert and Ernie> I agree with Argent. Drop it. PLEASE.

Mandi> Read the MiSTing; it was hilarious! Have you read the one playing on the press release announcing Seven of Nine being added to Voyager? They broke into song, using the tune of a Beauty and the Beast song. I won't go into it here. :-)

Buffy & Blade: Balthazar looked exactly like the vampire "Pearl" in the Blade movie (only Pearl was twice as big and hideous). Plus like Gooch said, there was a lot of sword play, an ancient ritual that left the main villain seemingly invincible, and a whole lotta other Goyer-esque stuff.

I'd recommend Blade to anyone in here. If I may say so, it is a hardcore, balls-to-the-wall, not-afraid-to-get-bloody-as-hell-and-in-your-face action flick. WITH great effects (especially when the vamps die, which is similar to but better than the "dust cloud" Buffy uses), and ultra-violence! (Snipes is perhaps my new favorite cinematic badass.....If I were to ever write a Buffy fic, he'd definitely have to guest star)

Saw it. Loved it. Bought the DVD. Can't wait for the sequel (which WILL happen!)

Quickie before I head off to work.

Robby e-mailed me about said MiSTing, and I checked the main MiSTing archive to find that the FortuneCity site the file was housed on was dead. So to make a long story short, I managed to get it off DejaNews and upload it to my site. It's a hysterical MiSTing, and I figured I might as well share with everyone.

SELANIT> Did you get your Welsh translation? If not, scroll down to my name Monday night. It's there.

The whole "Jelly Donut thing" - What happened was Kennedy went to visit Berlin, he was giving a speech where he was *supposed* to have said I am a Berliner. He goofed the last word up, so instead of calling himself a citizen of Berlin, he called himself a type of pastry native to the city instead.

BUFFY - I also LOL over the Mayor's check-list. It was probably one of the funniest moments this season. (I haven't seen "Blade", and actually, when I saw Balthazar, I thought more of Jabba the Hut). I might add that I also found it rather satisfying to see the new Watcher as such a coward and far less effectual than Giles. And Faith killing the man and then announcing that she just doesn't care was positively chilling. (Incidentally, was that man the sidekick of the Mayor's - not Mr. Trick - whose absence at the big invincibility ceremony was puzzling the Mayor?)

And yes, I noticed the "Illuminati" play on words, although my closed captioning gave it as "Eliminati". I still suspect that the word-play was deliberate.

Wilak>> Your translation is correct. At the heighth of the Berlin airlift, when Berlin was sealed off by the Communists, an airlift was made to prevent Berlin from falling into Communist hands. At the rate of one a minute supplies and everything was airlifted into Berlin for over a year. President Kennedy visited Berlin during that time in order to keep the moral of the people up. If you ever check a map, Berlin, at the time, was completely cut off from west Germany being surrounded on all sides by east Germany. Ich bin (I am) ein (a) Berliner (Berlin or from Berlin).

Wilek> You have pink furry butterfly-winged octopi in your head? COOL! *My* creativity demon is a little green thing with three legs, one eye, nothing that could really be described as "arms," and a large nose with a hand directly beneath it so he can thumb his nose at me. He's half mad, and lives alone in a quaint little cottage somewhere between my brainstem and my occipital bun. Occasionally he goes out on dates with cute creativity demons from other people. I don't know where they go on these dates because I usually black out as soon as he leaves, only to wake up in inexplicable surroundings. Don't ask. Gargoyles defend me lest he ever marry.

Now, as for the program idea your pink furry butterfly-winged octopi gave you -- it could concievably work. <<perhaps it can be HTML/CGI/JavaScript based>> This too is concievable. HTML and JavaScript aren't really programming languages, because they have to be interpreted by another program (i.e. a web browser) to run, so they couldn't do it on their own. You *might* be able to do it with a CGI script or a Java applet, but it would be a serious pain to code. You'd be better advised to program it in C or some other non-web-oriented language and just offer the program for download.

<<How hard would it be to write some kind of computer program that does that for gargoyles?>> Do you really want to know? It's nowhere *near* as easy as it sounds. This sounds like a project that would take a *long* time to plan, code, and fumigate for bugs. I have precious little programming experience, so I can't tell you *exactly* how hard it would be. I know plenty about HTML and JavaScript (and anything I don't know I can figure out.) But when it comes to real honest-to-goodness software development . . . go find Dilbert. <G>

When I find him..."]

**PAUSE RP!**

Click my name for a place where y'all can find a "Things I'll Do When I Become An Evil Overlord" list. Funnily enough, I encountered this on my own just before we began discussing it. <Twilight Zone theme>

Thundercats bloopers? Heh...hearing those voices speak in that manner would probably give my brain the neural equivalent of the Windows 95 'blue screen of death'. ^_^

Reasons for Gargs' cancellation> Well, I thought Greg said it was over ratings, although I think I can remember him saying Eisner never wanted Gargs to succeed (although I could be wrong about that last).

I think I'm the only one in here who hasn't seen the Reveal Everything X-Files ep, and I'm never likely to since I can't find out when the spoony thing comes on. Just one thing I want to know: What's CSM's full name? I may need it...

Traveler> <<Vampires vs. Werewolves- Easy, the lycanthrops don't turn into crispy critters if the sun hits them>> I've heard that the bit about the sun frying vampires was something of a myth; that they actually could function quite adequately during the day, although they were much weaker than at night.

Hm, from what I've heard, I think I'm rather glad that I've never seen ABC's Saturday morning lineup. You know, Gargs seems, to me, to be an attempt, not only to simply make a good animated drama, but to save animation from becoming a heap of boring irrelevant babbling crap and start a renaissance of truly great shows like there used to be before network execs started this whole blasted three-hours-of-educational-programming-a-day kick.

A few nights ago, the pink furry butterfly-winged octopi that live in my mind--the same ones who invented Forfexx's cerebral drill from inside the victim's stomach--gave me a creativity demon that simply will not go away. You know how some video games, like Deadly Arts and some wrestling game whose name escapes me, have character generators, where you can choose a character's various physical characteristics and such and the game shows you what the character looks like? How hard would it be to write some kind of computer program that does that for gargoyles (and possibly mutates)? Just pick from various things like coloration, build, wing style, etc and you'd have a pic of the character you're creating. I think it can be done. It might not even have to be a program; perhaps it can be HTML/CGI/JavaScript based. I'd try it myself if I knew the first thing about programming...

Fleur> Welcome back! Hope you didn't become too sane while you were gone. ^_^ <<If it gets _too_ big we can always swap 'the tree in the CR' to 'the CR in the tree'>> Too kewl!

Kaioto> Incredibly kewl stake collection. Hm, I kinda thought that was what wargs were; I've encountered them in a video game.

Demona Taina> OK...I can see right now that you'll be perfect for this CR. :) (Hm...When did we get a shark?)

Theresa> There you are! We were wondering where you'd gotten off to. ^_^

Green Baron> <<I once heard a rumor that Sesame Street would make Bert and Ernie lovers>> OH FOR THE LOVE OF <insert deity of preference>, NO!

OK, I've heard so many interpretations of the word Berliner that I don't know which one is right. Maybe someone should go to Altavista's (?) document translator and solve this.

Kitainia> <<What Asylum?>> Glad you mentioned that. I transferred here from...oh, I don't know what it's called; it's the asylum from the delightfully twisted PC game Sanitarium. (Does anyone here have that? It's an excellent game.) I wasn't actually a patient; I was one of their many, many stone gargoyle statues (except I think I was the only one who woke up every night).

Aris> <<Is it just me or wouldn't it be simpler for them to remove their clothes just before sunset?? Or are they afraid of scandalising the humans during the day?>> Probably, yes they don't want to embarass the humans. Of course, it would be simpler if they had their own private quarters in which to sleep unclothed, to keep from scandalizing anyone. You know, I think the only reason gargs started wearing clothing in the first place was to cater to human sensibilities. Of course, in ancient Greece it wouldn't have been a problem, given the kind of statuary they were in the habit of producing. (Why anyone in their right mind would create a statue without clothing is beyond me. I fantasize about taking a Quarryhammer to Donatello's David. But wait, that wasn't ancient Greek. Hm.)

Dumlao X> I think the room should stay the way it is, wiping once a week. Twice a week would get annoying real fast.

Tigron> If I haven't said it already, welcome back! ^_^

Doug and Kitainia> Y'know, Gubio might be interested in a computer virus I read about in the novelization of the PC game Descent. I'm not sure of the specifics, but I think it gradually takes control of the system it infects, and if it's discovered, it wipes the entire storage medium, including itself so no one gets the chance to analyze it. (Should that have been in $$?)

What's all this about the Technocracy and such?

Selanit> I don't know which of your scenarios I like the most! ^_^

*** TGS spoilers ***

I've been thinking about this last episode. As far as I can tell, the Morrigan has taken on the form of a youthful lass named Corbie for the purpose of "playing" with Emrys.

So far all the comments I've seen on this development have been focussed on how ticked off Emrys is going to be when he figures out who Corbie really is. Adolescent pride will be shattered, youthful anger shall explode into a really big battle involving lots of pyrotechnics. This is, of course, the most likely outcome.

But we shouldn't blind ourselves to possibilities. There are no impossibilities, only varying degrees of probability.
So, let us consider some alternative outcomes to this problem.

First scenario: The Morrigan, during conversations with Merlin about topics related only vaguely to the Gathering, might suddenly see the light, repent, and defect from Madoc's camp. If this were to happen, she would become a powerful warrior for good, a valuable source of tactical information, and an intensely interesting character. In regard to the actual writing, there would be countless opportunities for the writing of clever dialog between Emrys and Corbie, talking about the rash of Vampyres, each carefully saying far less than they could. The conversion itself would provide a terrific opportunity to play with the idea of a fae torn by conscience. *After* the defection, one could get whole episodes out of lonely quest for acceptance among the mortals and halflings she was previously at odds with. Not to mention Madoc's attempts at vengeance on the Morrigan for deserting him. All sorts of potential there.

Second scenario: Corbie might actually come to care for Emrys, though not enough to turn her back on Madoc. In this scenario, the Morrigan might end up in an untenable position spying for Madoc on someone she cared about. Unable to live with the possibility of giving Madoc information she knew might endanger Emrys, she instead tries to work both sides of the equation, feeding false information to both Madoc and Emrys, the idea being that she can protect Emrys from Madoc by simply making sure they never encounter one another. Eventually she is discovered in a way in which Emrys loses trust in her, she is cast out of the Unseelie Court, and left to wander the world alone and friendless.

3rd scenario: Just like scenario 2, only the Morrigan commits suicide rather than live as a pariah.

4th scenario: the Morrigan does *not* fall for Emrys, and also remains completely loyal to Madoc. She sets up some huge, diabolical plot for her own amusement, but is killed in a freak accident involving an car crash and a truck loaded with iron fence pieces. Her plan fizzles, in a way which benefits *someone,* either Unseelie or good guy.

5th scenario: The Morrigan plays with Emrys for a while, and there's all sorts of mayhem. Emrys figures out who she really is early in the game, but keeps his temper. Shortly before the Morrigan returns to the Unseelie Court, Emrys manages to plant a miniscule bug on her. When she arrives at Unseelie HQ, it detaches itself, replicates, and thorougly bugs the place, giving the forces of good a distince tactical advantage. The Unseelie, preferring to depend on their innate skills rather than machines, fail to notice these bugs for quite some time.

So that's a bunch of scenarios. They are all possible -- some more so than others. What do you people think?

Coyote: "Metropolis" is a great movie; however, there are different versions depending on who orchastrated(sp?) it. The version I saw had verious new artest do different moments, and the tenting was done in verious different colors not just black and white. There is a version that I haven't seen (but want to) where the orchastration is done by Queen.

Remakes: The movie most needing a remake (in my opinion) is "Farenheight 451." They just didn't have the ability to do the special effects for the story back in the 60's.

***Spoilers for Buffy***

A great episode. I have to say that the demon in this episode, while not that scary, has got to be one of the grossest things I've ever seen.

Didn't catch any similarities to Blade, but that's probaby because I never saw the movie.

The stuff with Faith was pretty cool. On a side note,last year while on a Buffy Message Board, I saw a thorey that
Drucilla(sp?) had been a Slayer before she became a Vampire. I think it would be rather interesting if Faith was vaperised some time in the future, next seasonish perhaps.

Just some useless trivia, while wathing Biogrophy last night I discovered that Drucilla was the name of one of the Roman Emperor Caligula's sisters, the one he had the affair with.

**RP BEGINS HERE**

Scene- Marsh's office. The man himself is sitting behind a computer, typing something. All of a sudden the machine reboots, then a picture of a bird skeleton dressed like the Grim Reaper appears on the screen as it boots up again. "Hahahaha," the image laughs. "I am the Grim Raptor. I have killed all your network's computers. Hahaha!" "Damn hackers!" Marsh curses, pounding the computer's side. He grabs his phone. "Get Micheal Meade (the world's most highly priced computer virus killer) in here now!"

The screen switches to the hotel, where Gubio is hacked into Marsh's computers while Doug looks on. The rest of the group has gone on to the B&H building. "The beauty of this virus," Gubio grins, "is that it locks out all terminals on the network except the one you use to hack in. First it eats their security, then it starts growing. And while it's growing, you can play around with their system however you want, screw things up bigtime. Then when they get the virus eradicated, which takes a long time since its file gets so big, the damage you've done remains." "What kind of damage are you going to do?" Doug asks. "None yet," says Gubio. "This is an info run. I'm after anything on Marsh's system I can get. Passwords, credit card numbers, system data, whatever looks interesting. And whatever can help me get back in later to start screwing around." "Good luck," Doug says. "I'll leave you to your plan." He turns to make a post.

**PAUSE RP FOR NOW**

Werewolves/Vampires: I like both of them very much. Don't really have a preference for one or the other. They're both vicious as heck, and thus can be equally deadly.

**BEGIN BUFFY SPOILERS**

Saw Bad Girls tonight. Cool episode. I liked the plot and character development on Giles and Buffy. The Mayor is evil, now there's no question about it. As for who he really is, I can't wait to find out. The new Watcher (forget his name) was everything I expected- what a dork! The vampire Illuminati were also neat, even if I do like the real Illuminati much better, and their master was DISGUSTING. As for what was done with Faith, ouch. Can't believe she actually killed an innocent person and doesn't care about it. I hope that in the next ep she learns the price of her evil deed, the preview made it seem like she would. Faith needs to learn a lesson, she needs to learn Slayers aren't all-powerful and above the law. Even if she did have some great lines and character development in this ep, she still did a lot of wrong things. I hope she learns to accept the light instead of the dark in the next episode. Faith would be a cool bad guy, but I think her character is needed much more on the good side. That's all I have to say about that.

**SPOILERS END**

TRC: Thanks for the Galaxy Rangers page. Too bad I missed what looks like a really cool show.

Demona Taina: Crazy in the dictionary has your picture by it, and boy do you look great! <grin> Thanks for all the funny scenes, hope you keep thinking them up.

Saw a Superman ep today where Lois kicked ass. I wonder, she looks so much like Elisa in the WB's new Superman cartoons. And she acts a lot like her, too. Maybe there's influence? :)

Deuce: Please send me a copy of those 99 things. I'm curious as to what they are. :)

Mandi: Yeah, oh well. But Faith will be in my Buffy/Gargoyles crossovers. The clan will run into three different Slayers. Buffy, her, and one partly of my own creation. Wait and see. :)

Fanfic Progress Log: Going through The Blackout now. About eight or nine scenes left. I should have it up in a week or two, if I keep at my current pace. Then I'll do "End to the Rage," "False Vengeance," and my first Buffy crossover. After that, I'm not sure what will happen next. But I have a lot of fanfic material to clear out of my head, so the saga will go on. :)

Traveler: You're right about women. <grin> Glad you liked my fic so much, I await your further comments on it. Hope you send them in real soon.

Fleur: Welcome back, congrats on getting into university. BTW, I'm over my cold now. Sorry I've been forgetting to mention it.

Story: I liked Orko, too. My favorite He-Man character. Glad I'm not the only one in here he cracked up.

Steve Gooch: You're welcome. And yeah, it is rare and enjoyable to see tactics executed flawlessly on screen.

Green Baron: Mind please telling me the URL for your guestbook? I would like to read what Atilla wrote, and write something myself, but couldn't find the link on your website.

Kylianna: Cool name. Glad I'm not the only one who hates being called a newbie, despite knowing the meaning of the word. Thanks for the compliments.

Robby: Ah, so I'm not the only one who's played Micheal Jackson's dancing arcade game. Cool game, even if the premise was a little skewed. I liked making all the bad guys dance along with me. <yet another grin>

Jubilee: I like her, too. Jubilee and Magneto were always my favorite X-Men characters. And, consequently, the ones I'm developing the most in my fic saga.

Coyote: Ssh! Don't spill your secrets yet! Wait till the fic actually comes out to do big spoilers like that. Teasers should be reserved for small but attractive stuff. Ask Spike, she's the mistress of them. Just some advice, I'm still looking forward to reading your fic.

That's all for tonight. Bye!

**RP AGAIN**

Gubio has extracted all he needs from the system. "Just in time, too," he says. "They just got past the lock and started zapping my virus." "What now?" Doug asks as Gubio gets out of the system." "The virus will eat all their account files before it dies. That will make Marsh spend a ton of cash having his company's financial status reorganized." "Good idea. Next move?" "I'm going to hit the NYSE, baby!" Gubio laughs. Doug sighs, rolling his eyes as the screen fades out. To be continued.

Anyhow, here's another site that has the thundercat bloopers, but not the Silverhawks ones... However, this page DOES have them written out if you can't play them. But again, fair warning, they're loaded with foul language...

Sorry for the 2x post but....

Gooch: Hey, you're right....now that I think of it, they're were an awful lot of "Blade"-like scenes in tonight's Buffy...ah well, a good tv show compliments a good movie!

And.....I'd just like to congratulate GWYNETH PALTROW for her Oscar nomination for "Shakespeare in Love."
In case you haven't guessed, I would gladly sell my soul (and frankly, yours as well ;-p ) just to spend a moment in that woman's presence.

No RP tonight. Just cause.

******BUFFY SPOILERS!!*****
Illuminati mention!!!!!!
Okay, I know technically the name wasn't *exactly* the same, but it was close enough!
Cool episode tonight. I especially liked the direction they're taking Faith in--she's going total sociopath on everyone. Plus.....well, Giles got to kick a little ass! I know that they're some Xander marks in here, and Lord knows I love the guy too, but Giles....I'm a big Giles fan. And I've always known he can get a little brutal if he wants to. (Remember Ethan? Giles took great delight in beating that man!) So it was good to see him take charge and kill some vampire booty!!!
****END BUFFY SPOILERS*****

Jewel: There's actually a couple of Sandman scripts out there. There's one at Drew's Script-o-Rama--click on my name to go there. Check under the film scripts section (section N-Z). That particular draft was done by Elliott/Rossi, and I believe Neil supported it. The second one can be found at Roger Avary's website at www.avary.com/HOMESTUFF/sandman7-10-96.html (it's broken up into several pages of material). I haven't read both to see which is the better one, but hey, at least they don't start with "Foolish mortals" or some crap like that.
As for "Mefisto in Onyx", I had heard that was optioned for a film. I hope this means that production is being stepped up. At one time Samuel L. Jackson was rumored to play Rudy, the protagonist, which would be absolutely freakin' ubercool!

TMNT: Hey, I loved that show! But, as it's been said in here before, the comic book is much better (much darker, and much more violent). However, I think that once Turtles went to Saturday mornings, it began to decline (gee....wasn't it on ABC? Hmmm....I see a pattern emerging). I also believe the last season was just horrendous, with the Turtles fighting NONE of their regular cast of characters, instead battling these horribly drawn alien bugs....it was a mercy kill in the end.

Kylianna: I sense a lot of anger in you, newbie. You'll fit right in! ;)

X-Men: Is anyone else as excited as I am that the X-Men MOVIE will most likely hit theaters in only the summer of next year??? Finally, my fanboy dreams are coming true!

ThunderCats tapes: They are hilarious (and darnit, I wish they worked!!!). I especially like the one where the whole crew delivers one long string of expletives for no good reason. :)

Kaioto: Mage is a tough game for me to play. I usually stick with the Vampire games, they're more friendly to the novice RP'er.

Frank Herbert fans: If there's any of you in here, I read today that Frank's son is working with Kevin J. Anderson (the guy who did all those Star Wars books) to write a DUNE prequel trilogy. Geez, is the whole world Prequel crazy?
Sam Jackson in SW: The Phantom Menace: "Hey Yoda, pass me that lightsaber. It's the one that says 'Bad Mutha F***a' on it."

Bert and Ernie: I heard that too. I mean, as soon as I was old enough to understand such things, I did find it odd that two grown men lived together AND took baths together....Just as long as Big Bird's straight. No offense to any homosexuals, but leave the Bird out of it.

**RP!!**

**The screen lights up to reveal ... Coyote still performing the Chicken Dance in the middle of the dance floor, along with the bunches of Pokemon. Suddenly, the appearance of the King of Pop snaps him out of his silliness fit, he becomes extremely self-conscious, and leaps back off the floor.**

Well now ... that was interesting ...

<"You've got that right. I don't think I've laughed harder since ..." "HEY!">

**Coyote and Ravyn look up toward the balcony to see Jason standing there.**

Where'd ya go?!

<"I've just been standing up here for a while, and they just showed up! You won't believe this!">

**PAUSE RP!!**

Traveler: Ahh, either you are a Spanish speaker ... or you just happen to know that one line. Care to help me translate my fics into Spanish, por favor?

New folks who I missed last time: Welcome, folks! And I swear upon everything that's holy I won't ever call any of you "newbies," else I inflict the said punishment of having my cerebral cortex shoved into my larynx ... to *myself.*

Jewel: Dudette! Sick! ;) (IRL, when I saw your comment about the Fruit Monster, all I could do was rest my head on the computer desk and laugh really loud while moaning "Oh, my Gawwwd ..." :)

Fleur: Welcome back! And yeah, car troubles once again. Sucks to be me ... oh well, I'll live.

Story: Hmm ... remind me sometime to tell you about the 14-inch Lexington vinyl decal I had made for the rear window of my Charger ... the self-same Charger that's in the shop right now.

More love thoughts: At work today, I happened to listen into one end of a very strange conversation when I called the store's warehouse ... whoever was holding the phone said something about, "If the guy's cute, it's flirting; if he's ugly, it's harassment." Oh-kayyyyy ...

Demona Taina: Oh Gawd ... you have no idea how much I fear dentists, do you? Ohhhh boy .... every time I hear a dentist's drill, I cringe. :)

Remakes: As far as I am concerned, the one remake that absolutely unnecessary was the shot-for-shot remake of "Psycho." Completely unnecessary and the work of a hack! **sets fire to Gus Van Sant in effigy**
For my money ... the one remake that I *want* made would be a remake of "Metropolis." Now *there's* a necessary remake, simply because not enough of us have had the pleasure of watching this great silent science fiction work ... including me. I keep hearing great stuff about it, if anyone in here's seen it, could ya tell me how ya liked it?

DumlaoX: Twice-per-week wiping works for me.

Robby: Give it up for another Jubes fan! **applause**

**RESUME RP!!**

**Coyote and Ravyn rush up the staircase, to the room where Jason had been resting. They look inside to see quite a surprise.**

What the ... where did *they* come from?!

<"Dunno, they just showed up." "Coyote, what's going on?">

Umm ... err ... it's ... related to my latest?

<"Latest fic?">

Yeah. Come on guys, let's leave them alone.

**Coyote leads Ravyn and Jason away from the room, where we see Graeme and Liberty ... kissing? ... as the screen winks off.**

**END RP!!**

PS-- **I HUMBLY APOLOGIZE FOR THE BLATANT PLUG WITHIN THE RP!!**

Hey all,

Computer problems partially solved. D: has been formatted, ScanDisk *claims* it has fixed all errors, but we'll see. I've got a feeling that Mr. Murphy isn't quite done screwing with me.

Thundercats files > Robby, they're WAVs, but in some different format. Different rate/channel/resolution or something that makes it impossible for my default WAV player (CoolEdit) to read anything but static. According to that, "the current sample format is nonstandard and not supported." I've tried fiddling w/ settings, to no avail. Hope you can find one of those other sites.

Green Baron > Actually, Panthro was voiced by Earle Hyman.

DumlaoX > Wipe it once, wipe it twice... which method will breed more insanity? On one hand you've got the anonymous complainer(s) who would love a smaller file to DL, and on the other there's the book-length posters who... would... probably... also not mind a smaller room. I'd go with wiping bi-weekly. And regarding the mp3 situation: ever consider FTP?

Deuce > Hate to burst your lowercase bubble, but you capitalized the "K" in 400K. :)

Axle > Welcome! Be sure to check your coat, hat, and last vestiges of sanity at the door, or they will be summarily confiscated.

***SPOILERS FOR TONIGHT'S BUFFY EP***

Geez, never thought I'd be posting spoilers about this show... then again, never thought I'd be *watching* this show. 'Cept some people in the dorm turned me on to it. Anyway...

Anybody else notice all the "Blade" ripoffs in this episode? Big, slobbering, fat vampire? Bad guy getting cut with a sword and healing right up? Although the mayor's list (Board meeting... Become invincible... PTA Meeting... Haircut) had me ROTFLMAO.

Oh, and one last thing: "Illuminati Society?" Bwahahahahahha... My garg-loving friend and I were the only people who got significance from that!

***END SPOILERS***

Ed, Fleur> Good to see I'm not the only one having problems with dialect in my fics. I'm too tired to elaborate, but I'll just say that's one of the major things that's been driving me crazy with the Buffy/Pendragon fic. And "The Tomorrow People", one of the other series I write fics for, drives me crazy in that respect.

Speaking of Buffy: Will anyone who saw the episode tonight please mail me with what happened? IT WOULDN'T TAPE!

Kitania> Thanks! As for the rest of the character interactions, I'm working on it.

Robby> <<Kitty Pryde is one of my faves too, though Jubilee is my favorite one of all.>> I came across a MiSTing that you'd probably like, just for one of the host segments: Servo and Crow doing "There's Something About Kitty." E-mail me if you haven't read it - I need to check for the URL.

Fleur- You should have done an RP. You might have stood a chance of beating Traveller's record setting twelve screen post. Ah well...

Durid- Beastwars IS getting the former Gargoyles writing team. Which is both good and bad news. Good because they're a great team, bad because they're rebooting the show from scratch.

Fire Storm-Look, I rememberred the space! Um, the reason you can't play the Thundercat's bloopers probably involves the fact that there are 4 or 5 different sound players.. WAV, MIDI, etc... The bloopers are probably something your computer doesn't pick up. I'll hunt for another site with them. There's at least 3...

Demona Taina- Yep, you're slightly more insane than the most insane one here... Be sure to pet the CR gators, they're real friendly!

Green Baron- I'm starting to worry about your cat. Attilla is online as often as you are. Can't be healthy for a cat.

As far as Bert and Ernie being lovers... Isn't it obvious?

Gargoyles wiping out Ninja Turtles... Oh, this is a topic I like... **Cracks knuckles, prepares to make a long essay on the subject, stops when he sees the room looking at him** All right, I'll keep it short. No, Gargoyles didn't kill the turtles, their cartoon did. They became real popular from 90 to as late as 93 depending on who you ask. Their show went on for another 3 years, which is downright amazing since their popularity WAS dead. Of course, the show got something of a makover its last two seasons. It was darker... And better... Gargoyles had nothing to do with their death. (After all, they went until 96!) And anopther thing... Oh wait, I said I'd keep this short.

Ironwolf- Kitty Pryde is one of my faves too, though Jubilee is my favorite one of all. And the best part of Beastwars is that it has good animation, and good writing, (The characters actually interact on different levels! Gasp!) and wasn't afraid to make fun of itself. The biggest obstacle the series has/had is that it WAS based off the original Transformers...

Gabriel- Pancake? I dunno... I've heard from like 4 different history teachers over the years that he said "Jelly donut"...

Dragons in the garg universe- Hmm, I seem to remember something about dragons being mentioned in the outline for one series or another at some point in the season...

Fruit Monster- I say it again, that is SO wrong.

Kitainia- Your RP just keeps getting better! Good stuff!

Room wiping- I dunno, I kinda like it just being wiped once a week, but I can sympathise with the computers that can't keep up and such. Whatever happens, though it would make reading back posts more difficult on Thursday, and some would be missed, as is the situation now with Sunday posts... Would kinda take the fun out of top ten as well...

Tigron- Heck, I just like your name!

Deuce- ALL LOWER CASE? EEESH...

**JIM"S PARTY**

Sixteen thousand Pokemon, and one Coyote are dancing to Elton John's rendition of the Chicken Dance. Suddenly, a voice calls out.
"Hold it Elton, making people dance is MY job."
"Oh, it's you... Go away."
"No. I had a video game and a movie where I did this, so I should do it here?"
Jim looks at the strange man. "Did I even invite you?"
"No, but I crashed. And Elton, I got just two words for you..." (Play the song attached to my name!)
Elton John takes that as a challenge, and prepares to battle.

kylianna> "newbie" is not an insult, it just means that you're new here. and bashing someone's cerebral cortex down their larynx (the correct spelling) is usually looked on upon as an illegal activity. :-) oh, and i _love_ your name.

KITAINA - Actually, it's "Emrys" rather than "Emyrs". (It's partly my fault, actually; I probably shouldn't have chosen such an unusual Welsh name for his alias, but it seemed right for him at the time; well, spilt milk now). Emrys meeting Willow? That could be interesting. (Although Heaven knows what she - not to mention Buffy - might inadvertently do to his adolescent hormones - particularly since Merlin's always had a bit of a weakness for the ladies, a long-time problem of his by his own admission).

ED - I doubt that Demona had any connection with the Wars of the Roses (although I have a theory about how her visit to Renaissance Florence could have affected history there - it's not part of any TGS plans, so I can safely share it with the room at a later date). Incidentally, Henry VII was a big King Arthur nut (he even named his eldest son Arthur, although he - the son, I mean - died young and so his younger brother wound up becoming King of England instead as the infamous Henry VIII), particularly because the Tudors were of Welsh origins, and one wonders what Arthur and Merlin would have made of them. (For that matter, Sir Thomas Malory's "Le Morte d'Arthur", one of the biggest works of Arthurian literature, was published in 1485 by William Caxton, who sent Richard III one of the first copies - not that Richard had any real time to read it, with Bosworth so close. He might have liked it, though, since Richard was very enthusiastic about knightly pageantry and heraldry - he even founded the present-day College of Heralds in 1484).

ARIS - Chuckled at your creativity demon. I feel a little sorry for Katana, and one can only wonder what Fox would be doing if she'd accompanied Alex along on that adventure.

Demona Taina> You are INSANE! *laughs* When I have time, I'll have to challenge you to another food fight to help relieve you of that excess energy.

Selanit> "I am a carrot" in Welsh? You have such fascinating thoughts at times... *for some reason, thinks of Pinky* :-)

Kaioto> Right on about Valentine's Day, and infatuations. :-P BTW, you can kick pretty much all of the fashion designers' butts; nothing like practicality, I say. *g*

80's Cartoons: I,too, watched He-Man, She-Ra, My Little Ponies, Transformers, G.I. Joe, Thundercats, and some others I can't recall. But I think they all had more plot than most of the cartoons they have on TV now. On a related note, I think the only show on ABC's Saturday Morning lineup worth watching is "Doug." I know you all are going to think I'm really strange, but I think that show is funny; it mocks itself and the culture in its own way. BTW, I don't care much for "Pepper Ann" either.

I think that about does it for now. Farewell, everyone.

HI CR LOVERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What I was going to say, I just read an episode of TGS. COOL ONE!!!!!!! It was Fallout, or was it Fallowt? I just forgot!!! I only know that it was something like that... And... for the person, or gargoyle, or shapeshifter, or fae, or animal, or werewolf, or clone, or fae, or human, or something that wanted me to get hooked... YOU WON!!!!!!!! I got hooked!!!!!!!!! HOOKED!!!!!!!!!!! HOOKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Okay, you get the idea...) I AM GOING TO READ ALL OF TGS!!! ONE BY ONE!!!!!!!!!!! BECAUSE I LOVE IT!!!! I WANT TO MARRY IT!!! Now, I am overeacting...

I actually pitied Goliath in that episode. He was blushing, it was the night after Elisa kissed him. He was like in another world, thinking about that brief kiss. The clan had to snap him out of those thoughts, because he didn't answer, he was busy thinking about that. And, guess what? He wanted that kiss to continue!!! Grrr... how I envy Elisa... GOLIATH!!! PICK ME!!!!!!!!

You should have read Goliath eating!!! Potato salad... yuck... and he ACTUALLY wanted Elisa to make some potato salad!!! I HATE POTATOES!!! I DESPISE THEM!!!! THEY GIVE ME NIGHTMARES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, he got REALLY angry when watching TV. One station was telling the Top Tens, and they said that Gargoyles were the Top Ten!!! And... they said that the number one way to know if you are infested with Gargoyles were... two words: GARGOYLE GUANO!!!! [snarls, smashes the TV with a kick, blasts it off with her bazooka] HOW COULD THEY!?!?!?!?!?!?! GARGOYLES DON'T DO THAT!!!! Ummm... do they? Well, they also said that Gargoyles were a sign!!! [confused] A sign? Watch it... the eight sign... [ghostly laughter]

I was wondering something... if TGC sucked so much, them why they named the fourth season TGS??? The names sometimes get confused, you know. So, a word of advice, watch the typos. Watch the keyboard. Read your message before hitting the submit button. Because TGC, and TGS are two very different things. AND PEOPLE CAN GET REALLY ANGRY AT YOU IF YOU MISTYPE THOSE TWO!!! [looks at the keyboard] And the "s" and the "c" are very close... [in a brief whisper] ~watch the c~

I had a funny thought earlier... Pikachu against the mighty Goliath!!!!!! BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!! The mighty gargoyle, three hundred pounds of pure muscle, seven feet tall, large tail, LARGE wings, WITH THESE MIGHTY VOCAL CORDS!!! [smiles romantically] And a handsome face... [giggles] Against the tiny Pikachu, barely reaching Goliath's toes, not being able to look at his face... [laughs maniacally] I'LL POST THE STORY TOMORROW!!!! Or when I'm able...

[has an awfull thought] Potatoes... the potatoes are atacking us!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIFES!!! RUN!!! THE POTATOES HAD GONE INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Currently, as we speak, the members of the Breakdowns staff (of which I am the Senior Staff Head of) are working on the development of Season 2 of "Dark Ages". As to when it is coming back, only time will tell, but once I have a handle on our progress, a general announcement of the premier date will be released ASAP.

As it stands, enjoy the rest of "Gargoyles/Pendragon" and "Timedancer"... there's a lot of great stuff coming, and you DEFINETLY don't want to miss any of it! :)

Hey, I had no idea people missed me this much! It's the Fang and Sharon idea, isn't it?

When I asked about learning more about the Morrigan, I was talking about a web page; I don't exactly have the time to hunt around for an old book. If there are no such pages, though, I understand.

I think we should wipe twice a week IF the board gets over X number of postings on Wednesday, if it's possible to write the code for that. It wouldn't get so packed, however, if we cut down to things we really want to say, as Demona Tania learned so heartily. :-)

Two series a week? Does this mean Dark Ages is coming back? Don't take this the wrong way, but I kind of hoped it would be written for more than Timedancer. I mean, Dark Ages has to be pretty short-lived, with the finite time frame it deals with. But if we allow Timedancer to continue for much longer, sooner or later we'll know the future before it happens in the main series. Now I, for one, think that would be pretty hard to deal with. So I think we should make a decision on how long we make these two spin-offs last. I'm not trying to stop people from writing, I'm just asking them to be careful.

STEVE-- Got your letter. Thanx much for the sound advice.

QUESTION-- Now that we have 2 series running a week, I gotta ask this, just to be curious. Is it better if we let things stay as normal with the comment room (wipe once a week) or if we do a wipe twice a week (for each new ep)? Like I said, I need feedback to know what to do. Either way, as always, old comment rooms will be archived.

Incidentally, I’ve often wondered whether Richard III had a similar Shakespeare-induced PR problem to Macbeth, but as far as Greg Weisman’s plans go, I suspected that having done one king like that, making Richard a ‘good person’ as well would make his plots look stale. Of course in the original, there was Castaway and Demona, and Thailog, Fox and Xanatos all being fairly similar and actually worked perfectly well together and apart. I think it would be more likely that Richard III, in Gargoyles terms, would be rather ruthless, but then Henry VII would be more of a Xanatos-type character. Regarding TGS though, I’ve been secretly hoping for a Richard/Henry episode in Timedancer for a while, as I can imagine lots of possibilities that could spring from that. What if there were Gargoyles at Bosworth and who did they side with? If they were on Richard’s side, did this contribute to the idea that he was evil, as he allied with demons? If they were Lancastrian, had they been persecuted beforehand? Was Macbeth involved in any of those wars? Since we know Demona was in Italy in 1495, it could be quite realistic that she was involved in Bosworth and later fled were she either on the losing side, or scared of Henry’s regime. Unfounded speculation of course, but I’m sure some fascinating stories could spring from it.

Fleur: I know what you mean with troubles in fanfic. In my latest story, TO REST, I’ve had the words “boot” and “shopping” in one of my Brendan and Margot scenes. When Vashkoda proofread it she had the suggested alteration of it to “trunk” and “groceries”. While I took her point that I was writing to a largely American audience and so it would be wise to use the Americanisms, but then again I would feel very uncomfortable trying to mix in and out of American grammar. I’ve always tried to avoid informal references to ‘mother’ (and luckily, I can’t think I’ve had situations really arise, although ultimately I will have). Now, on the one hand I feel very awkward using ‘mom’ but on the flip side characters like Elisa would use that. Although I criticise, I also sympathise greatly with the TGS staff responsible for Pendragon to this end, as they seem to manage it all quite well overall. (The only two exceptions that really stick out in my mind as funny are ‘a lot of quid’ and Arthur throwing a ha’penny about, given that coin no longer exists.) I can actually often hear the pronunciation of ‘mom’ by just thinking back to whiny kid voices in American TV. Actually imagining other characters like George or trying to emulate the sound myself is quite hard. The best thing I can work out is that, especially in an accent like Elisa’s, the shape of the mouth is actually far more hollow, so your lips and tongue actually close inwards at the end to sort of ‘hold back’ the ‘o’. That sounds rather odd when written, but I can’t demonstrate.

Robby: Thanks! ;)

Demona: Greg Weisman, the creator of Gargoyles, actually said that he was expecting mail to the effect the Gargoyles were demonic and the show Satanic, but he never got very much at all.

*** SMALL SPOILER FOR LAST TIMEDANCER ***

Something I find quite humorous (unintentionally so) in the last story is that the Egyptian gargoyles just like Primus in Rome, actually prefer going to sleep with their clothes on, and thus each having to go through 365 different garments every year. That would bring down the whole Egyptian economy! (ok I am exaggerating a little bit but still...)

Is it just me or wouldn't it be simpler for them to remove their clothes just before sunset?? Or are they afraid of scandalising the humans during the day? LOL!

Though I've not yet written any fanfic, I've had some ideas for a story or two, and one of them involved Timedancer and his family (along with a 16-year old Alexander) travelling back to ancient times, and among other things the embarrassment that comes about when they discover that a female gargoyle of that time prefers nudity. Especially since there are two hormonal male teenagers among them. ;) (Katana: "Nashville-san! Look the other way!")

**RP HERE**

Kitainia and all of the Ravens except Jammer and Tricia are grouped around a table in the hotel resturant, discussing the recent RP events and what should be done next. "We don't know where Thailog's secret base is," Doug says. "If we can find it and destroy it, I think it will deal the enemy a possibly fatal blow." "That's if we find it, Doug," Kitainia reminds him. "And it could be anywhere. We'll have to capture one of the bad guys next chance we get and ask them." "It'll have to be a high-up," says Shauna. "Drones and thugs know zip." "Look," says Kitainia. "We can't deal with this now. Our priority has to be the lawsuit. Janice just got an order from her boss, FBI Assistant Director Kincaid, telling her to make sure we devote all our resources to getting it settled as soon as possible. Our activities have been causing quite a stir in the media, and the government is having trouble keeping it all under wraps. The press jumps all over this lawsuit, it could cause trouble for us." "Alright," Doug says, getting up from the table. "I'll go find Kenny and Jammer, we need them to discuss our lawsuit strategies." "Right," Kitainia nods, turning to make a post in the CR.

**PAUSE RP**

Hey everyone, I'm back! Sorry it's been so long, I had a lot of work to do last weekend. Now here's a few replies.

Christine: Got your payment, thanks for sending it. Becca's quite an artist, we liked her picture of Chulthuoodles. :)

Glad everyone liked the last Kenny RP bit so much. I've been wanting to do that for some time. Maybe the bit at the end of this post will generate the same reaction. <hope>

Welcome to all newcomers, welcome back to all who have left and now returned.

Mardi Gras: I was there once. Long time ago. It was fun, if one ignored the crowds, the smell, the people defecating or fornicating in the street, the loud screaming, the fundamentalists on a few street corners damning it all, the beads and other stuff people occasionally threw at you, the drunks, and all the other things about it that weren't that great.

Tarzan: Maybe the soundtrack's from Genesis, that band Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel used to be in together. Anyway it sounds like a good movie but I haven't seen the trailer yet so I'll wait till I do to know whether or not I should put it on my "to-see" list.

Payback: Pretty good film. I liked the action and the characters. The plot was so-so, but the rest was great. I give it 3/5 stars.

Deuce: Glad you got out of your situation okay. Welcome back to the CR, hope you don't get in such trouble again any time soon.

Fruit Monster: Something tells me this guy should be eating pomegranetes (sp?), of the Hades variety. I too think it is ridiculous for them to replace Cookie like this. Oh well, I don't watch Sesame Street anymore, and I haven't since I was 6, so I don't know if I can comment on this.

Remakes: I thought the Miracle on 34th Street remake was great, if only for Richard Attenborough and Dylan McDermott's preformances. I agree with Robby about the other remakes, though.

Mandi: Great scene for your Buffy/Pendragon crossover. You are going to do some scenes with Giles and Una or Leo, and Willow and Emrys, in there, too, right? I have creativity demons. :)

Valentine's Day: I don't really like the commercial aspects of this. All the hearts and Cupids make me naseous. But the romance aspect is great, and I'm very addicted to those little heart candies <pops a few>, so I am in a way looking forward to the day. <grin>

What Asylum?: Doug's transferred here from New Bedlam. He once roomed with Homer Simpson and a guy who thought he was Micheal Jackson. I transferred from Pescadero. Yes, I knew Sarah Connor, I even saw that Terminator help her escape. (Just kidding, of course.)

**WARNING- NEW EP SPOILERS**

New Episode Comments- Finally, Pendragon again. This ep established some threads that I think will become major conflicts very soon. Such as Emyrs and Corbie (who would have thought those two might get together?), Riggs going Vampyre, and Norman finding out about Emyrs living with Arthur (If the Illuminati discovers he's Merlin, uh oh). The plot was a little loosely connected and there weren't any really big events, but it was still good. I also liked the sketches Christi did a lot. Hope we see a good Timedancer ep this week. :)

**SPOILERS END**

TRC: I used to watch He-Man, Bionic Six, Tiger Sharks, Silverhawks, and Galaxy Rangers. All good shows. Too bad the cartoons today don't have plots nearly as good. Gargs did, but it's gone. <sigh> Oh well.

Demona Taina: Okay, we have found the CR's craziest person. You! <grin> But those scenes you had made me laugh, so thanks for the entertainment. If you can keep producing great stuff like that, you must be the good kind of nuts. :)

Traveler: That's alright, I was just curious if anything had happened to you. I can understand Half-Life keeping you away, I've also played the game. As for Apep being the dragon king, that could be neat. I can hardly wait to see if it's yes or no. But are you so sure that his release will be a good thing? I mean, Brooklyn did say "If he releases Apep, all is lost." We know Apep is NOT a nice guy. Personally, I hope he's not the Dragon King. I think the TGS dragons need more character, so far all we've seen and heard about them makes them out to be big vicious firebreathing monsters and little more. I like the dragons in Doug's fanfic saga, of which there are both good and evil specimens, all of whom think in startingly humanlike ways, much better. BTW, Traveler, if you want to see these dragons, they'll be a subplot involving them in "The Blackout." Doug will have it out as soon as he can. :) In the meantime, he's waiting for your e-mail on "Captives." (Yes, I was told to say that.) He's also glad you liked the story so much, and hopes the same applies to future fanfics.

Fleur: Doug's well now, it was just a passing cold. And if the Leos are taking over the world, there's at least one Leo who they need to contact about it (me). Especially if the sicknesses was their plot, because I caught Doug's cold last weekend and just got over it yesterday. :) Thanks for your comments on my thoughts about parents and children.

Okay, that's all for now. I have a class to get to. Bye!

**MORE RP**

Doug returns with Kenny, Traveler, a very mad-looking Tricia, and a very sorry-looking Jammer. "Uh oh," Kitainia says, seeing their looks. "What happened?" "I found Jammer in the hotel casino," Doug says. "He just lost all the money we got from that valuable stuff we got from Galante's house playing roulette." "I was trying to get more money," Jammer complains. "If I had just bet on black instead of red..." "Jammer!" Kitainia yells. "How are we going to pay for Kenny's fees now?" "Yeah, guys," Kenny says, crossing his arms. "The fee was the only reason I'm staying in this life-threatening situation. Now that you can't pay me..." "Guys, guys!" Gubio suddenly jumps in. "Everyone calm down. We don't have to take this to trial." "You have an alternative?" Doug asks him. "You know we can't settle this out of court, they won't agree to any sum we can pay!" "It's simple," Gubio grins, tapping his laptop. "We make Marsh unable to afford this lawsuit." "How?" Kitainia inquires. "The guy has more money than Ross Perot." "I have a cunning plan." "As cunning as a fox that's just been promoted to Professor of Cunning at Oxford University?" "No, even more." Gubio taps his laptop again. "Marsh Industries is entirely run by computers, my area of expertise. If we can use his system to ruin him..." "Gubio, your ethics!" Doug reminds him. "My ethics support this," Gubio points out. "The guy's a corrupt CEO, he's helped finance the takedown of several big websites over the years just by buying them up and then taking them down because he didn't like the stuff that was on there. One of them was ILS, a site good friends of mine helped build. I must get my revenge on Marsh for that. Besides, he's financing a guy who's been trying to kill us, and is attempting a hostile takeover of the world. Ethics do not matter here, Doug, they support my plan." "Alright, Gubio," Doug sighs. "Explain your plan to us." "First we continue with this trial thing," Gubio says. "Distract Marsh, make him think he has the upper hand. Don't worry about Kenny's fee, I think Traveler can cover it." "What?" "Hey, you can afford Cochran, you can afford him." "But, but..." "Shut up and say yes," Gubio snaps. "Kenny staying with us is an integral part of the plan." Traveler sighs and nods. "Okay, but this plan better work, Gubio." "Trust me, it will," Gubio says. "All we have to do is..." He goes on for several minutes and everyone nods. "Okay," says Doug. "Go ahead and implement Stage 1. We're headed back to the B&H Building." The screen fades out.

Hello people!!!

I know, I know. I've only been here for only two days... AND I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the FIRST comment room I'd ever been to, because every time I tried to post into a comment room, I had to register, and my stupid and ugly browser wouldn't allow me!!!! [smashes browser with her fist, blasts it off to the moon as she hits it]

Yesterday, a friend told me that she was laughing her head off, and I mean LAUGHING, at TGC. Then... why!?!?!?! Why the new staff had to ruin gargoyles??? Were they jealous??? Were they too stupid??? They keep telling me that TGC sucks, even the most DEVOTED fans. It is Gargoyles!!! The characters are still there, but ruined!!! Goliath turned into a phylosophical machine, Hudson into a blind bat, Demona into a cry-baby, Brooklyn into a runaway kid, Lexington into a stupid guy, I mean, WHY!?!?!?!?! Such a good show!!!!!!! RUINED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [eyes glow red]

Not even TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) was as good as Gargoyles. I mean, it is true that the turtles lasted 10 long years, and I loved them too, but the story lines were kinda dull... one episode didn't fit with the other. (If they did, I've totally forgotten...) That's why they cancelled it! And.. now that I noticed, TMNT was cancelled one year after Gargoyles arrived. Did Gargoyles have something to do with the turtles cancellation? If they did, GOOD!!!

I have a page of Gargoyles, my temple, and I'd make a page of TMNT if I hadn't forgotten everything about the show. I have the Leonardo action figure, the original, and two Power Wing Goliath's, such huge wings, but I love those toys, and when I'm too hyper or too bored, I fight Leonardo with the Power Wing!!! I squash Leonardo with Goliath, strangle him, and I kick Leonardo off the computer!!! And then, I make an attempt to roar, like Goliath, and I make Goliath laugh maniacally!!!!!!!!!!!!! MWA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [points to the Leonardo in the floor, in a million pieces] BROKEN TURTLE!!!!

Well, I already said that I was a puertorican, didn't I? [brings out a map] Here it is. [points to the Caribbean Sea] If you can't find the Caribbean sea, locate yourself in Central America. Look to the right... (Or is it left???) You see those four islands and very little one's located in the form of a bow? The one that follows Cuba, the one with the form of the vacuum cleaner, and next to La Espańola, Haití and Dominican Republic, is Puerto Rico, my little island. [smiles, glues the map to the middle of the room] Hehe, bet you can't find your house...

Hey... [looks around] Where's my sanity!?!?!? I had it before I entered the room!!!! [looks around, lifts the couch, looks under it, places it back where it was] My sanity!!! [looks in the microwave, when it's making some popcorn] AHH!!! HOT!!!! [the bag of popcorn explodes] HOT! HOT! HOT! HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! [jumps into the pool, spots a shark] SHARK ATACK!!!!!!!!!!!! [swims to shore, breathing heavily] My sanity... [smiles evilly] LIKE I CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BWAN HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [drill noises]

Hello everyone

Fleur> Welcome back and thank you. **Hugs**

Starsinger> Welcome back **hugs** I was wondering what happend to you.

Demona Tania> Welcome to the crazy room. Where did these rumors come from? Since Mike Eisner is Jewish, I can assure the second one is wrong :) Walt Disney was Catholic, and he would have loved Gargoyles. As for Gargoyles returning to the air this year, I'd recommend a novena to St. Jude :)

You are hyper. I'll give you that :)

Deuce> Could you send me that list. Th eonly advantages I know of being single is saving money :)

Jewel> LOL!! I think it's pretty funny, especially since I once heard a rumor that Sesame Street would make Bert and Ernie lovers :)

Thundercats> I remember that show, especially since I've seen it on Cartoon Network. I really liked the way it ended.
BTW, I wonder if Panthro was played by Rocky Carrol, since he sounded just like Talon.

Ironwolf> I hope you're parents aren't too imposing on you. A few months ago, I was planning to become a Priest, and it had little to do with my parents' wishes either way. I came form a fairly watered-down Jesuit-influenced Catholic family, and when I started College, I fell in with the Rosary praying Tridentine Mass loving Mother Angelica fan crowd, which is wierd, since people don't usually get more conservative in College. My old High School Principal is one of those "progressives", and he was a little disturbed when I told him about my then-plan, because I would be one of those cassock-wearing priests. Now, I plan to get married some day and then be a Deacon. I hope you make the right decision regardless of which you take. As for Lent, I just plan to go to Mass every day, and I need to think of a few other things to give up. I can never keep my no TV pledge so I odubt I will try that again. As for meat, I can without it on the assigned days, but I doubt I could give it up for 40 days, even if I took a break on Sunday :)

Guestbook> Attila signed my guestbook, and he was quite mean about it.

Hello!

I have some questions about Brooklyn being Goliath's height in Timedancer... well, he punched Goliath's handsome face in Future Tense (I'd kill Brooklyn if he made a scar!!!) he threw Goliath to a wall!!!!!!! [eyes glow red] Just wait 'till I get him.... (Goliath let himself get hit I'm telling you! He pitied the poor red guy. He could just punch his beak, burying it behind his head, but Goliath is the man!!!!!!!!!!!!) Then, Goliath rubbed his chin!!!! AWW!!! Matt helped him up, Brooklyn walks just in front of Goliath. He looks at him in the face!!! (Hey... I think he's the first that ever done that... well, maybe Thailog.) Then, Brooklyn sees Demona, he hugs her, and snuggles into her. Notice that they have almost the same height. A while later, you can see that Demona doesn't reach Goliath's shoulders! HOW ON EARTH!?!?! How can Brooklyn be taller than Goliath IF Brooklyn is Demona's height, and then Demona is not taller than Goliath!!! Explain that!

Sanity, huh? Well, my sanity is gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GONE!!!!!!!!!!! [laughs maniacaly, running around the room with the Quarrymen's hammer] STAND BACK OR YOU ARE SHOCKED!!! BWA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Evil streak there. Or is it... Evil Strike there??? RUSTY ENGLISH!!! RUSTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [grabs the hammer once more] [walks slowly toward Coyote] Hehe... open wide... [drill noises]

Hehe, I'm a dentist. The teeth dentist. (DUH!) Who needs their teeth checked??? [evil smile, walks into the TV, just when it's airing "The Price", drags Goliath out of the TV, sits him on the special chair. Hehe... those fangs look good, handsome. Open wide... [drilling noises] Goliath hesistates, glowing eyes. What!?! I am the dentist, you are the patient! OBEY!!! [gets over him, opens his mouth wide] "No!", Goliath said, turning his head. You know what? You are getting on my nerves... [eyes glow red, gets the drill machine, sticks it into Goliath's mouth] MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[You can see, later on, Goliath with some kind of machine holding his jaws together, can't speak]

[still walking around the room, one eye twitching] I'm not afraid to use this!!!

**RP STUFF** The second team of Warg and Giak nearly secured their target as their charge from the brush erupted across the path. The rider's spear rent and long gasp in the cloak of the warrior-monk as he twisted asside desperately. The green forest raised his blade to keep his eyes on the Warg and rider as they slowed vied for position against one another. Out numbered and out weaponed, the forester had to give ground, slowly backing off and down the path, his eyes locked on the two.
While his eyes followed the muscles of the mount as it loped nearer, his other senses searched desperately for the surviving rider of the Warg he had just dispatched. As his nose and ears concentrated and strained, his eyes betrayed nothing to the Warg and giak before him. Step by step he was forced back towards where the mountless Giak stood poised, his axe raised, looming upon the saddle of his former mount. Closer, closer, and closer, until suddenly the very smell in the air changed. With a wild slash, the warrior-monk smacked the spear point which jabbed and fainted, feeling out his defenses. Compounding the slack, he whirled and brought his blade up into a dangerous vertical arc … at the same moment the leaping Giak's body completed its own arc. The blade kissed flesh and tasted blood, but from behind its wielder heard the chilling sound of a trained predator confidently about to make its kill … **END RP STUFF**

While I was away from the room I did a LOT of screwing around in BIOS and managed to get the computer to recognize C: and D: properly (for some reason they had switched for a while - not good when my only OS is on C: and it wants to boot from D:). Then, after running ScanDisk for about 5 hours (no joke) I found 31 bad clusters and got a message that read something like:

"There are damaged secotrs on your hard disk. Back up files immediately, as this usually occurs immediately before catastrophic disk failure."

IOW, after I reboot the next time, D: is history. I had this happen last November, and it was baaaaad news. It's like the computer just shouted, "ICEBERG! RIGHT AHEAD!" :)

Jewel > Thanks for the suggestion, but it was more than just drive-renaming. That problem's been solved, but it's been replaced by even bigger ones. (read above).

Deuce > ILS is back up (partially). They can't display the lyrics, but you can search for a song by giving in lyrics. It's still backwards and screwed up, but it's a small victory.

Doug > Tiger Sharks! Yes! Thanks a bunch, that name's been bugging me. BTW, if you're in the mood for a really good, technically and tactically correct, action movie, check out "Renegade Force," a 1998 HBO movie. Stupid acting and premise, but excellent action scenes directed by, and starring, current SWAT team members. It's a rare occurrance when you see balaclava-clad men forming a train correctly, entering a building flawlessly, and having their fingers off the trigger! I was impressed; me, the eternal tactical nitpicker.

TRC > I've got a 5-meg video clip of the opening for Bionic Six, if you're interested.

Traveler > Thanks for the link, but perhaps I phrased that wrong. I've already got an Amiga emulator and some software that should allow me to jury-rig a connection between my PC and the Amiga's floppy drive. Of course, I have no idea what any of the technical engineering jargon means, so I'm out of luck just now. Anybody here an electrical engineer or know somebody that is?

Fleur > Post a little longer next time :) Give the Masked Complainer something to REALLY moan about :)

All right, time to read the D: drive its last rites and format. Catch y'all later.

True sign of a desperate man... E-Mailing your english college essay to your best friend's house, waking them up at one at night, printing it out on their printer, and on pink paper. Amazing how low a man will sink when he has an important project due in a couple of hours and his printer decides to fritz.

STEVE-- I'll post the cool MP3 FTP site tomorrow morning.

POKEMON-- I play the game. Love it to death, though I have to find more time to devote to it :)

DEUCE-- Gotcha!

FIRE STORM-- Oh, hell, why not. I'm certainly game for it. Now to just get my ROMs together on ZIPs and have that on CD before I get my MP3s done as well.

CR ARCHIVE-- http://tgs.gargoyles-fans.org/cr/archive.html

LEX'S RANGE-- Oh yeah. That line. Well, I really can't tell you because it was something I concocted for a TimeDancer episode later this season. That's all I can say about it :)

MP3 LIST-- Updated. As always, hit the name to get to the ROM & MP3 list I have.

Till next time...

Hi all,

Sorry about that first post. Pushed the wrong button, oops!
Robby: The Bloopers were great. I loved the Thundercats when I was younger. I even had a pair of T-cats sneakers.

TRC: I have had a picture of Orko (the little red floating magician who's magic never worked) on the rear window of my truck. Occasionaly, I get rather enthusiastic(sp?) responces from the other drivers.

***RP ENTRANCE***

The suddenly rise, and in flies in Durid, or rather is blown in, for he only stays by grabbing on a tree brance and hanging on for dear life. ***END RP***

Ok,don't know how long I can stay here, I get one problem with my modem fixed, and another pops up.

Fluer> Did you get my e-mail? Don't know if it got sent or not.

Brooklyns height> my 2c. I don't think that Brooklyn crouches because of deferance to Goliath, rather he has a 'youthful slouch'. True, if he stands up he is almost eye-eye to Goliath.

Beast Wars> It's getting a new writeing team? Is is the former Gargoyle's team? Or do I just have hopeful thinking?

***RP EXIT***

"Blast it! You mis-say just ONE word in a spell and...." the tree branch that Durid is holding onto breaks and the winds once again take hold of him, pulling him high up into the sky, "WHY DOES THIs AlAwyas happen toooo...." And his voice fades in the distance.

NO RP - THIS POST IS LONG ENOUGH AS IT IS.

Hi guys! Well, I am now officially enrolled at University. YEA!!! (That’s kinda why I haven’t been here for so long - that, and the fact it’s taken me about four days to read all the posts I’ve missed. :) )

Okay, got some catching up to do.... (I know some of this is _really_ old, but I couldn’t resist...)

Tood> Thanks for the info on Maddoc. Two wizards called Merlin? Kewl....

James> >I will be keeping my sanity thank you very much< Good luck, brave knight, in succeeding where so many have failed. :) I liked the musical roleplay.

Deuce> >Someone calling Garlon "Mickey".< *LOL* Creativity Demon: Garlon goes to Disneyland.....

Robby> >Is this place just so crazy that stuff like that passes for normalcy now?< Yep. :)

Genetics debate> I know, I know, Selanit opened this subject ages ago, but this is something I'm _really_ interested in. Just a little something for the positive side of Genetic engineering : Scientists created a bacteria that produces natural, usable insulin as a waste product, providing diabetics with cheap, easily accessable medicine. Of course, the thought of people 'creating' the perfect child scares the stuffin' out of me, but the fact is, GE is like all things - it's only as bad as the people who use it. (But I _do_ like Zath's bioluminescent house plants idea. :) )

Selanit>>Wouldn't it be wonderful to raise some of the other species to our level?< Ohhh, that would be great. Of course, dog food would probably have to get a _lot_ better.

Argent> Congratulations on your Green Belt!!!

Hi Fire! *Waves at the lurking shadows. :) *

Mary Flanders> Hope you did well on your finals.

ED> I'm Australian, so I say 'mum', and I also find the 'mom' thing a little awkward. This doesn't help my fanfics much, as my proofers (hi guys!) will tell you. (As Kyryn said, it was like my characters had spontaniously changed nationality. :) ) What makes it even more difficult for me is that one of my friends in high school was _named_ Mom. She was always complaining that people had trouble saying her name properly.

Okay, I gotta try this: A line of plus signs...


Cruelty to animals> *grrrrr* There is no punishment painful enough for people like that.

SJ > I've always found it extremly confusing, that most Australians, and even British folk, can do American accents perfectly. < > But when us Americans try to sound British or Australian, we sound like freakin' morons. Someone explain this to me!!!!!< Simple, two word explanation: Television Shows. After ten minutes of Ricki Lake or Jerry Springer, I can speak with a near-perfect American accent, and then run around saying things like 'you go, girlfriend' and 'You <bleep>'! :) (j/k) But there are so few Australian and British shows on American TV (none, I think), Americans just don't get a chance to listen to Australians or Brits speaking. Oh BTW SJ, Lucy Lawless (Xena) is from New Zealand. Calling her Australian can result in NZers doing some grevious bodily harm. :)

Hi Blue, fancy seeing you here! :)

Kitania> *Applauds* Your post on violence on TV and kids, especially the last paragraph, should be put in a book on how to bring up your kids. Well said.

I'm not going near the violence and sex debate.... except to say I don't mind the level of violence in the RP's. (Yes, I know, I'm _in_ the RP's. Excuse me while I collect my award for stating the bleedin' obvious. :) )

Hello Cannon!

Traveler> >"Sanity-defeated"? Please forgive my mistake, I'm glad to see you've overcome your psycological handicap.>:))< It was a long, hard battle... but hanging around here helped. *g*
> A portal opens over the Norfolk Island Pine Fleur had placed in the CR. Manicial laughter can faintly be heard from the other side as Traveler's armored hand comes through, sprays the pine with some glowing liquid< *Fleur looks at the tree. It is six feet tall, and glowing* Traveler what the hell have you done to that tree?!? *Sighs* Me and my big mouth. Oh well. If it gets _too_ big we can always swap 'the tree in the CR' to 'the CR in the tree'. I've always wanted a tree house. :)
Okay, I'll bite. What's a Buffalonian? (After all, curiosity only killed the cat - it didn't fiddle with it's genetic structure. )

Robby> ALL of TGS in one weekend? First your animation collection, now this. There is only one word I can use: wow. $I’m afraid I’m gonna miss Jim’s party, :( but, in my absence... *pulls out cellphone and starts dialing. A few minutes after she hangs up, a delivery truck pulls up outside Jim’s partially rebuilt mansion, driving straight through the force field and neatly avoiding the various battles/football games/whatever. four huge men get out and carry various boxes inside.* I noticed you didn’t have a Karioke machine. Hope you like it. :) *As soon as the Karioke machine is set up, a pair of drunken party-goers stumble up to the microphone and start singing, (perhaps slurring is a better word) a sad ballad. After a while, one of them passes out. Fleur grins* _Now_ the party has everything!!!$

Complaints guy: So the size of the comment room makes your brain hurt? My advice: Get a bigger brain.

Coyote, Fire Storm, Lady Mystic, Argent, Doug, anyone/everyone else> GET WELL SOON!!! (All these sick people. I’m begining to suspect a conspiracy.... THE LEOS HAVE BEGUN THIER INVASION!!!! >:) )

Hi Trey!

To whoever it was that did the ‘Elisa in a Mastercard Comercial’ > ROTHFLMAO. (You know, my sides are getting awfully sore...)

TRC> Welcome back! Really interesting stuff about Hyenas. You’re probably right about Disney having it in for them - a certain Gargoyles villian comes to mind. :) I was also wondering about the twin’s scan on Lex, back in ‘Out of Time 2’. *Opens eyes anime-wide* Please TGS writers, tell us what it means. PUH-Lease?

Hi Story.

The Rock> Man I love that movie!! Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage were the Best!!! Fav. Quote? ‘I’m surprised you made it through puberty’ and that incredibly chilling speech Goodspeed made about the effects of the gas. But I agree with SJ - Cage is a fantastic actor, but he just doesn’t seem to fit the image of Superman. Of course, if the movie ever went through, I probably would have ended up getting out the tomato sauce and eating my words. Cage is very good at making every role his own.

Green Baron> Welcome back!! Bummer about Jessica. *sympathetic hug*

Mulan> I saw that in an advanced screening at the movies (and the tickets were free!! :) ) I loved it. Brilliant characters, great plot and, for once, the message/moral was a bit more subtle than you usually find in a Disney film. But, as much as I liked the other characters, Grandma was my favourite. She was an absolute crack up.

Deuce> I’m glad the stuff with your parents worked out. Just a suggestion, if they’re still a little worried about the CR, why not show them a couple of episodes from TGS? After all, it’s the foundation of the CR, and, since the TGS stories are better than nearly anything you’d get in a bookshop, it might impress your parents, too. After all, anyone who appreciates it as much as we all do can’t be _that_ crazy. (overun with creativity demons, maybe, but not evil. :) ) Good luck with your driver’s test. And please, send me that ‘99 best things about being single’, around this time of year, I _really_ need it. Oh, and where do I sign up for the club? :)

Dumloa> Congratulations to you and Alison on your first year anniversary!!!! And in case you have any left - Good luck on your midterms, hope you aced the ones you’ve already done. TRC meant that part where one of the twins say something like ‘It’s never had such a good range before’, and then Ari fakes knocking Graeme into Lex to ‘test it’. (I think that’s how it went- it’s been a while since I read Out of Time)

Heather> *breaths a huge sigh of relief* I’m glad the surgery went well. Hope the physio and tests and stuff go even better.

Kyryn> CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Your wedding plans sound very kewl. Like nearly everyone else here, I’d love to see the photos.

Mandi> Ew, sorry ‘bout your roommate problems. *Does classic double take* Wait. You have a new fic up? YEA!!!! (Guess where I’m going after I post this? :) )

Coyote> re: car troubles> D*** you’re having some bad luck with your car. Again, my sympathies.

Jewel> ‘If I ever become an evil overlord’: I remember reading parts of an article along those lines. It had all these rules like ‘All my workers will use clear plexiglass face-covers on their helmets’ and stuff like that. hehehe.
Fire Storm> Opps! I think I’m guilty of not putting the space in. I’m sorry, it won’t happen again.

Hi Eric!

SJ> Oooohhh, I remember that guy with the sword. A friend of mine was there, and I know this will sound really bad, but most of the people in the crowd were reacting pretty much like you did. Pissed the police off no end (understandably, since he _was_ threatening to kill people).

Hello Kermit. *starts singing ‘who said that every wish/would be hear and answered/when wished on the morning star/somebody thought of that/and someone believed it/look what it’s done so far.....*

Um, Exin, not to be rude or anything, but why don’t you just say hi? I have no idea what it is you’re trying to do, (whether it’s something really creative, or you’re just typing anything to be annoying), but how ‘bout using the keys with letters on them? (j/k) Seriously, post a message, we won’t hurt you. (after all, we have Kenny and Mr Dis to hurt :) )

Cookie moster> WHAT?!? NO, SAY IT AIN’T SO!!! May the demons who run PBS die a thousand horrible deaths..... and then a milllion more. :(

Mardi Gras> Um, the only Mardi Gras we have is the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras in Sydney. It’s possibly just as colourful, if not more than the one in New Orleans Always good fun to watch. :)

SOROW> Welcome back!

I was wondering - what’s the URL for the CR archive? I’m dying to take a walk down nostalgia lane, now that I have the time.

Hi Gabriel.

Greg ‘Xanatos’ Bishansky> Greg Weisman had a brother and sister called Jon and Robyn? Wow, _there’s_ a brotherly tribute. :)

X-Files> Okay, Tomorrow night the new season of the X-files starts here. New Begining, or whatever it’s called. (boy, that name sounds familiar :) ) Why? Because, like every where else, our ratings season ends at the begining of summer. Of course, in the the Southern Hemisphere, that’s around November. I CAN’T WAIT!!! But thanks to the people who put up spoilers so future eps aren’t ruined for me.

Welcome Demona Taina. Don’t worry ‘bout posting a few times, we all make mistakes. :)

Hi Tigron.

Welcome Kylynna! (Oooh, so many new faces! Fun!!!)

Phew. Finally, I think I’ve caught up.

TTFN!

Wilek- Cartoon Network still shows Thundercats where you are? No fair. We get the Superfriend...

SJ- I have all 13 of those Thundercats Wavs myself. And all but two or three of them are inapropriate for this room in original form. But you gotta love hearing Lion-O cussing out Snarf! And Mum-Ra shouting... Well, what he shouts... Lion-O... "I should have known the terrator meant us no harm when the sword of Omens didn't... What the **** am I talking about?" By the by, BIG Thundercats fan here. Remember that from the 80's, but far more clearly from when Cartoon Network picked it up.

And your Beast Wars opinion doesn't upset me at all. I know I'm biased, having missed the original series more or less. I remember bits of it, but not enough to count. I most definatley understand your opinion, and have to agree with it almost. Except the CGI is about as top notch as it gets at the moment, not counting the FF movie... (The CGI in seasons 2 and 3 is far better than that of season 1.) And also, they DO interact with humans. Granted, they're neanderthals but...

ABC's current Saturday lineup- Its all garbage except for Hercules. COMPLETE AND TOTAL GARBAGE WITH NO REDEEMING QUALITIES WHAT SO EVER. That is my opinion on Disney's current lineup, and thats final. Whats worse is, I hear they're gonna flip the screen upside down for three weeks to tie in with something. Eesh.

Brooklyn's height- I said it before and I'll say it again. He was practically Goliath's height before he timedanced, you'll note he is always in a crouching pose, to defer to his leader. He becomes quite taller in "Kingdom" when he stands up straight, and in "Future Tense" he looks Goliath in the eye. Add to that 40 years for him to grow, count the horns and mane of hair, and he's probably got a few inches on the big purple guy.

Jewel- I used to have the addy where those Thundercats snippets can be found. I'll look for it shortly. They are so much FUN! But very potty mouthed... Snarf (In a really annoying voice) "Lion-O! You've.. You've got to use the sword of Omes to call the Thundercats!" "Shut up you ****."

****Party RP****

*a vortex opens in the mansion and Traveler steps out* Traveler*throws up his arms and announces*: I AM THE LIZARD KING!!!!!...No, wait...that's Jim Morrison. Hmmm...how about: I AM THE WAFFLE KING!!!!!! Weird Al: Hey! That's me buddy!!!, I have that copyrighted!!!! Traveler: Oh yea, I forgot about that...btw, YOUR WAFFLES RULE!!! <Well anyway better do what I came here to do then get back to Kenny, Kitainia, and the others. Just a quick stop at the buffet first though...> *after finishing his quick snack, looking through the crowd of party goers he spots his targets: the last two Rangers: Green and Pink. He starts off toward them drawing the Daikatana from over his back. The sword is like no other; the blade forged of a sickingly black metal so dark the light around it seems to warp and disappear into it; the entirety of it wraped archaicly in ruins the likes of which mortal or fey have rarely, if ever seen, much less understand. At this point, the two rangers notice.* Green Ranger*turns to TRC*: Hey who's that comming toward us. He looks like trouble. TRC*sees who and starts to back away*: UH-OH, that's Traveler. And he's got that sword out. He never has that sword out. I'm outta here... Traveler*looking extremly pleased*: I come with a message from your master. Pink: Zordon? Green: Haim Sabin? Traveler*grins evily*: No, the Dark Lord of mass media himself, Rupert Murdock. His message is this: "You're... CANCLED!!!!!" *as it is said, he brings down the blade on the two unsuspecting Rangers, taken off guard by the statment, neatly cutting both in two. Then reaching inside his duster, he pulls out his infamious CR flame-thrower, and begins to immolate the two bodies. Then Jim Isa Noying walks up.* Noying: Was that really necassary? You know the rules. Traveler: Yes. They were the last two members of the most despised and hated show in all known and unknown realities. Besides, the order came from Mr. Murdock himself. It seems he accidentaly saw a few minutes of the show. He had just come out of his coma and the first thing out of his mouth was "Kill them, kill them all, not on my network, no, no, it can be...never again..." then he passed out. Your party rules don't apply to ThEM. Noying: Alright, but what about the mess? Traveler*whistles*- I'd get out of the way if I were you.*hehehe* *a stampede of the mutated rabid pokemon animals runs past taking the bodies with them as the security force chaces after them towards the basement.* Noying:OoooK

****End Party RP****

Yea, Yea, I know I said I was going to post on Friday, but I had just come from a day of classes, running around, etc...(Not to mention the fact that I picked up a copy of a little known game called Half-Life.>:)) You've all heard the hype about this game, all the accolades, but aren't convinced. I'm not far into the game but allow me to inform you: THIS GAME SHINES. I'm running it on my 166MMX with 32MB of RAM in low-res and using software rendering, the damn thing is still beautiful looking. And the game play, oh the game play, Good Lord and I thought Unreal was great. Haven't yet gotten a chance to fool around with the editor though...*hehehehe*

>Kyryn- MARRIED?!!! Your getting hitched?!! Well CONGRATULATIONS!!!

>To The CR In General- To all those from the past who have returned, WELCOME BACK! To all those who are new to this place of wandering id's, welcome into the fold. *insert mainical laughter here*

>Dragonball Z- This show KICKS! Some of the best fight scenes I have ever scene. Note- Dragonball Z: DeadZone this Friday at 4:00pm on Cartoon Network.>:))

****WARNING: BELATIED REVIEW OF THE FIRST TIME DANCER EPISODE THIS SEASON. HARD HATS ARE REQUIRED.****

>The Sun And The Serpent: Part 1- Welllll, this one certainly flew under everyone's radar didn't it? Including apparently, some of the staff if Dumalo X's post is to be believed, or that could have been more of the staff's trade mark tourture (Ex. Robby's little "two episode's when it's really four" plan), but in any case the episode was posted and OH BOY was it a doozy! Finaly...At loonnngggg last, the seemingly shattered continuity of the first season of Time Dancer because of that one episode is being repaired. Then we find out in the ep. the Brook was there for THREE YEARS!!!! And that Myrt and him were "VERY close". Not to mention the whole "we were good friends, but now I must have you killed" mage that Brooklyn bumps into every time he vists Egypt. To quote Sata who put it so elegantly "If you do not explain to me what is going on right now I will cheerfully strangle you." (That IS one of the most briliant lines this season for all of TGS) And something else I noticed, but this is only a guess: Is it true? Could it be? Is Apep THE inprisoned DRAGON KING?!!!! **Traveler appears infront of Ra's temple 6000B.C. as Toth and Isis are walking by. He spray-paints "Fey oppressors unfair to Dragons", "Release Apep" and then "Traveler W/H>:)" before disappearing. Isis: Who and or what was that?!! Toth: For once I don't know, and for some reason I don't think we want to.** Really though, this was an extremely well written story, and although not the planned season premere, did pretty d#&$ good in its' place. Question: We don't know all of the fey that have survived to present day, but we know some. Bastet being one of them who had a so far bit role in this TD episode. Remember we saw her at the meeting Titiana held on Avalon to put her plan of traing human mages into action. But, my question is this: Is Toth still around? How about Isis? Or is Apep released in the upcoping episodes and both the Human, Gargoyle and Fey populations get taken down a notch or two.*hehehehehe*

****END OF THE TIME DANCER SPOILERS. PLEASE RETURN YOUR SEATS AND TRAY TABLES IN THEIR FULL UPRIGHT POSITIONS.****

>Superman Movie- No, uh-uh, sorry not a good idea. Nick Cage as "The Boy Scout". Really BAD idea. No offence, the guy is truthfuly one of the best actors out there, and his action movies are so far proven to kick ass, but I just think >>ANYONE<< as Superman in a movie at this time would be wrong. That part of the franchise is and should be dead. Oh yes, a decade or so down the road they'll probally try to start it up again. Will they succeed? Who knows. But for now, let it rest in piece.

>Deuce- Jeez, you were banned from the room and made it back all in between my posts. I think that perhaps I should post more often.>:) But anyway welcome back. Oh and send me one of those "99 Best Things About Being Single".

>X-Files- I just saw this weeks episode. YES!!!! IT'S ALL COMMING TOGETHER FINIALLY!!!!!!!! *starts to dance a happy jig around the CR* AH! HA! IT'S ALL FINIALLY GOING TO MAKE SENSE!!!!! OH JOYUS DAY!!!

>Fire Storm- Sounds like a classic case of mild food poisening. I say mild because before I could classify it as accute, you'd have to be bad enough to be admitted to a hospital and near death.>:) Heh, heh, I just got my HP 8100i.>:) BURN BABY BURN!!!

>Steve Gooch- <<So I've got 500 pages of text just sitting around on floppies at home, waiting for me to find a working Amiga emulator and hook up its disk drive to my serial port.>> CLICK on my name. Just a little something I found on accident. Go to emulators and then Amiga. Hope it helps.

****WARNING: SPOILERS FOR THE HAWK AND THE CROW. WATCH OUT FOR BIRD DROPPINGS>:))****

>The Hawk And The Crow- Well, it couldnt last forever, now could it? I am of course refering to the current TGS episode and how it isn't really up to "snuff". The premise was interesting; but the follow through was a bit lacking. The plot seemed to jump around to much without anything connecting one scene to the next. It was simply: one scene here, then the story suddentaly switches over to some other location. And OH-MAN, I would not want to be anywhere near Merlin when he finds out who Corbie really is.>:)) As for that Minion, why do I get the feeling that his mutation will come out a little differently then expected?...

****END OF EPISODE SPOLIERS. IT'S SAFE TO TAKE YOUR HATS OFF NOW FOLKS.****

>Vampires vs. Werewolves- Easy, the lycanthrops don't turn into crispy critters if the sun hits them.>:) Plus there just cooler IMO.>:))

>Batman Reyond- Someone mind telling me when this is on? I see the comercials for it on WB but they never bother to mention the time!!!!

>Jewel- Would it be at all posible for you to forward me that "Things to do when your an Evil Overlord" list? Would it help if I said the magic word? Please?!!!!!!!! *hehehehe*

>Coyote the Bando- "Welcome to the house of insanity" huh. Cute. *hehehehe* Who's insane here?!!! *hahahaha*

>Doug- I AM THE PHANTOM READER WHO GAVE YOUR STORY FIVE STARS!!!!! More on that in an e-mail. BTW, you should rephrase that to: "It's not a good idea to keep >>ANY<< lady waiting. (Or they'll slowly and painfully tear you to shreds.>:)

>Kitainia- Sorry for unknowingly making you wait.

Dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, dragons, AND THE HOPEFULLY SOON TO BE RELEASED DRAGON KING!!!!!!!!

****WARNING!!! WARNING!!! WILL ROBINSON!!! DANGER!!! DANGER!!! TRAVELER'S RP IS BEGINING!!!!!!!!!****

Meanwhile, back at the hotel in Las Vegas... Kenny*Laying on the bed resting(he was just pushed out of an office building>:)*: Ahhh...my head...anybody have some asprin? Traveler*sitting on the ceiling*: Come on Kenny you've been through worse...come to think of it, MUCH worse than that. Kenny: Yes, as a matter of fact I seem to remember yu hacking me to little pieces just like you just did those two Power Rangers during one of yor first few posts! Traveler: Yea well, everybody was doing it?!! *hehehehe* Kenny: And why are you on the ceiling anyway?! That's freeaking me out! Traveler: Why? Why not? Or how about because? Hmmm....so many reasons. Anyway, do you think you can get the case to trial? Kenny: Ummm...Probally. Well, as long as they don't kidknap me or something. Traveler: How about calling Roger Marsh as a witness... Kenny: Why? Oh...I get it. The book...right? *hehehehe* Traveler: If all else fails, and even then I think I'll use it in court. *hehehehehahahaha* Kenny: Oh this is going to be fuunnn!!!!!!! Traveler: Well, if anyone asks for me, I'll be on the gameing floor...uh...watching out for enemy forces that might try to raid the hotel while were here naturaly, and Doug's team...yea that's it...

I mean, if we sell or ship the CD's to each other, anything paid would be for the CD and not it's contents.

Well, for those who have ZIP (Or virtualy any other format) disks full of files, I can transfer them to CD-R for a small fee.

Anyone else in here with a SparQ drive? Those have GOT to be the coolest! Too bad the company went bankrupt on us. :'(

Okay, it's too late for me to do any serious reading and remember it tomorrow, so some catch-up.

Todd> <<The scene with Cordelia in your ficbit reminds me of a similar scene with the vain Princess in "Spaceballs">> Oh, good! I was wondering if someone would get it (and hoping it wasn't too blatant).

Kyryn> I don't remember if I said this before, but if I didn't - Congratulations!! :)

Demona Taina> Welcome to the insanity! Enjoy it! And as for your TGS questions:

1) As of the end of Timedancer, Sata is Brooklyn's mate. She originally came from feudal Japan, and they got married in the episode "The Promise."
2) Brooklyn's 40 years older because, due to circumstances I don't have space and time to explain, the Phoenix Gate appeared in Wyvern, and when Brooklyn picked it up, it whisked him away on its own. He ended up being thrown through time (i.e. Timedancing), jumping from random time period to random time period for the equivalent of 40 years. (Which is the premise of the Timedancer spinoff.) Basically, he finally made it back home a few minutes after his disappearance - but for Brooklyn, it had been 40 years, and he had his mate Sata and his two kids with him. E-mail me if you still don't understand.
3) It's never exactly been answered why he's wearing the Future Tense outfit. We can only speculate that sometime during his travels, he may have ended up in a similar time and donned the armor somewhere along the way. It was 40 years, after all. :)
4) Er, I don't know if he's really Goliath's height. I've got to look at the pics again. But in 40 years he could have gotten taller. We've only just begun the second season of Timedancer - a lot of things are yet to be explained.

Someone brought the Freakazoid tape to the Gathering last year and played it in the video room. It was hysterical, I agree!

And yes, I did read this, and I think you used "hyper" correctly. :)

Doug> Thanks! Although part of me wants to have Rory run into Faith instead of Buffy, but then I couldn't explain Cordelia's presence so easily...oh well.

It's almost 11, I have to work tomorrow, so that will be all. Good night!

I am a carrot in Welsh: carrot - (n.) moronen [moron, f.]
I am = ydi i (literal 'am I')

So roughly "Ydi i moronen or moron (depending if you're a male or a female carrot.)

Pronunciation? You're on your own, kiddo. Welsh makes my head hurt.

**RP!!**

**The screen lights up to reveal ... the soggy Gearhead climbing back into the tank. The pink Power Ranger isn't too far behind him, climbing back into the Commander's Seat with him. Coyote turns off the hose, as Ravyn turns off the water at the wall.**

Oh well ... let him have his fun.

<"It's close to Valentine's Day, after all.">

**nods** True. **turns to Jim** Thanks anyway.

<"No problem.">

**Coyote and Ravyn turn back to the interior of the mansion, where Jason is jogging up to them.**

<"Guys, you won't believe this ...">

What? **looks to dance floor and sees sixteen thousand Pokemon in a line doing the Chicken Dance** Awww, nuts!

**PAUSE RP!!**

**SPOILER FOR "HAWK AND CROW"**

One thing sticks out from this story ... Emrys' criticism of Shakespeare. Well-deserved, if you ask me. :)

**END SPOILER FOR "HAWK AND CROW."**

Reasons for Gargoyles' cancellation: Actually ... one theory I had heard was that the head of children's programming for ABC (who came on after TGC was given a commitment) viewed "Gargoyles" episodes, declared that it wasn't a kids' show, and used her influence to convince Disney to cancel it. Of course, the fact that her *prior* job was as head of programming for Nickelodeon, it shouldn't come as any surprise as to why the current crap on ABC's One Saturday Morning is there ... because it all has to go through an intelligence filter, and every last bit of intelligence in them has to be wrung out, God forbid these shows make kids *smart!* ;)
(Not to offend anyone in here ... but every time I see scenes from "Pepper-Ann," I have to resist the urge to press my thumbs into my eyes.)

Kyryn: I'll be there, if you throw a party at GWT. Right now it looks like I'm going to do a lot of partying there ... I'll be sure to bring plenty of ginger ale. :)

TRC: I was a viewer of SilverHawks. I thought it was pretty cool ... wish I could've gotten some of the toys for it. Dang.

Robby: Would take me a while to do ... I took three years of high school Spanish, have a couple of dictionaries around here ... but I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to translate phrases like "If Oberon wants to save his sorry @$$, he'll pay up when you call in his favor." :)

Demona Taina: You have to read "TimeDancer" for the answers to most of your questions. Basically ... Brooklyn was lost in time for forty years when he got shanghai'ed by the Phoenix Gate. During his travels, he picked up Sata (who became his mate) and had two kids with her (Graeme and Ariana, the twins). They also picked up a doggoyle puppy (Nudnik, the little thing that looks like Boudicca). While the trip lasted forty years for Brooklyn, he was only missing for five minutes.

Sevarius Jr.: Actually ... that ad's for a small part of the new Universal Escape park in Orlando (Marvel Island, a huge part of the park dedicated solely to Marvel Comics properties). But you're right, that *is* probably as close to a live-action Spider-Man we'll get (although it seemed a lot like the old '70s show: mute Spider-Man, y'know?).

**RESUME RP!!**

<"Why? What's wrong with the Chicken Dance?">

Umm ... remember those random fits of silliness I mentioned, Rav?

<"Uh huh.">

I think I'm having one right now ...

**Coyote seems to be in a trance, as he jumps into the middle of the dance floor, performing the Chicken Dance with as much gusto (maybe more so) as all of the Pokemon in the room. Ravyn slaps her forehead in an "i don't believe this" motion, as the screen winks off.**

***PARTY RP****
Sevarius Jr. frantically searches for a weapon to toss at the mutated Pikachu, but all he finds is an empty soda can, the remote control, and the latest issue of Architecture Digest. They have no effect on the monstrous Pokemon.
Suddenly, Pikachu erupts in flames, melting colorfully into a pile of goo. SJ turns to find Kari holding a flamethrower.
"K-Kari?"
"Hey, just 'cause I'm beautiful doesn't mean I can't be a badass."
***PAUSE PARTY RP*****

Old Cartoons: He-Man!!!! I loved that show! I watched every episode! I still have every toy locked in some closet somewhere! Even saw the live-action movie with a very young Courtney Cox. So yeah, I was a die-hard fan.
By the way, I really wanted to play you guys some old Thundercats WAV files I found. They're.....they're quite naughty. Let me just say this: I can't picture our own beloved Garg cast speaking as such, but the ThunderCats voice crew have the filthiest mouths this side of Tarantino. But those files were so dern funny though....

Demona: Hey, looks like you were a little confused when you came in here. Know what that means? The MADNESS is already starting! BWAH HA! BWAH HA HA HA! ;)

Deuce: Hey, don't get on Chris Carter's case too much. Remember that this is just part 1 of a two parter--can't give away all the secrets. Besides, being a person who's never heard "The Truth at 10:13", I was suprised by some things last night, and other "secrets" finally confirmed my suspicions. So all in all, while not the best 'Files ep., it was enjoyable.

Beast Wars: This is gonna upset Robby....
When this show first came out, I thought it really sucked. I mean, first off it was based on Transformers--a show that was very near and dear to my heart, and I didn't want to see it be remade in some half-assed sorta way. Secondly, it was done completely CGI--and anybody who's seen the movie Spawn can attest that sometimes a pile of dog doo looks cooler than some CGI (I'm sorry, I really, REALLY hated that Spawn movie--WORST effects I've seen in a long time).
But the show's growing on me. The writing seems to be pretty good, and the animation, while still not nearly as lifelike as it could be (I do realize it's working with a smaller tv budget) is pretty decent. Still, I must admit I miss the old days where the transformers could interact with humans in modern day times.

Sandman: Hey, I recently found a sight that has the Sandman movie script--the GOOD version. If anybody wants it, let me know, I'll email it to ya.
Oh, and I think I asked this before, but would anybody like to see a Sandman/Gargoyles crossover? I got an idea tonight. The problem is, Neil is such a great writer, any attempt by me to use one of his characters is gonna probably come across as crap....

Spiderman commercial: Has anybody seen the Universal Studios commercial where Spiderman is fighting Dr. Octopus on the wing of a airplane in mid-flight? THIS IS THE COOLEST COMMERCIAL!!!! I know it's very fanboyish for me to love it so, but hey, this advertisement is probably the closest to a Spider-man movie we'll ever get.

Todd: Yes, those were some very odd last names Ed came up with. You may know me by my real last name--Mr. Biggelsworth!
(Remember Robby--Mr. Biggelsworth is your supreme ruler!!!) ;]

[Wilek, Dark Mage Wilek, Alucard, Harrison Ford, the Ghostbusters, Argent, and Jewel*D are busy fighting off increasingly deadly and evil Pokemon. Argent has managed to capture several, and the others are doing well, but they're still outnumbered...]

**PAUSE RP!**

Click my name to see an odd little thing I slapped together from screen shots of Demon's Crest, one of my favorite SNES games. The main reason I'm mentioning it here is that the characters look an awful lot like gargs. ^_^

TRC> You can find all kinds of emulators at www.emux.com; they're bound to have an NES emu. And I remember Silver Hawks and He-Man; those used to be two of my favorite shows. I still have a lot of the toys...but I missed a few as well. What I wouldn't do to get a mint-condition Miraj (sp?)...And good luck with the willpower thing. You're braver than I am, buddy.

**SPOILERS FOR THE NEW EP**

Well, this one was...short. Shorter than perhaps it should have been. One scene seemed to imply that it was Oberon and not Madoc who was responsible for the odd weather; we really must learn why. One thing I LOVED about this ep is Emrys' review of Shakespeare. I've always thought Shakespeare was overrated, and I really enjoyed Emrys' take on things.

**END SPOILERS**

Demona Taina and Kylynna> Welcome to the abyss of the benevolent psychopaths! You'll fit right in, just as soon as we get rid of that annoying little thing called sanity. Open wide...<starts up a jackhammer>

Selanit> <<Does anyone know how to say "I am a carrot" in Welsh?>> Ich bein einen Berliner. Oh wait, that's "I am a sausage" in German. Wrong food, wrong language. Sorry. :)

Kyryn> The fish mysteriously vanished? Hm...maybe you should have a small scanning team come over, just in case.

I think I'm starting to see why some of you don't much like Valentine's Day. On that day, the Travel channel (I think) will be hosting a SIX HOUR MARATHON showcasing--are you ready?--the best places to kiss. OH PLEASE! Six blasted hours of places to kiss? It's more interesting to watch Owen do Xanatos' taxes. Yeesh.

Steve> Ack! Sorry 'bout your computer.

Jewel> Hey I remember Thundercats! That was one of the kewlest shows ever. It's still on the Cartoon Network every day; I'm glad channels like that are preserving such great programming.

**RESUME PARTY RP WITH MR. DISCONNECT DEATH!**

[Quite suddenly, the rampaging Pokemon seem to hear something from the basement and begin to leave for that location, although no one else hears anything. In the rush to get there, they trample Mr. Disconnect, then eat what's left of him; apparently they don't like what he did to Steve. Once the beasts are all gathered downstairs, everything becomes quiet. Much too quiet. Alucard: "I've seen this before...my father's beasts sometimes gather in one place and hibernate for a few hours in a cocoon, then emerge as one massive and powerful demon. If we don't kill it before it awakens, it will be unstoppable..."]

Steve: Does your D drive icon have a CD-ROM drive icon overtop of the D drive icon? If so, reassign the drive to something like J or K, and your D drive will be accessable again (to reassign the drive, go to the Systems control panel, then go to the Device manager tab, and click on your CD-ROM drive and click on properties. Go to the settings and find "Reserved drives letters." Make the starting and ending letter some random unassigned letter, click on OK and restart. That should at least fix that problem.

Silver Hawks: I *loved* that show when I was little. It rocked the universe. That, and Thundercats. <g> I had the biggest crush on Tigra and Liono when I was little. "Thunder, thunder, thundercats, ho!!!"

Thanks for the welcome, guys!!! [hugs everyone and everything]

Gargoyles got cancelled because of the ratings??? [now even more confused] I was told that they were cancelled because of lack of sponsors, because Disney's new president (?) was a catholic and thought that Gargoyles were demons, that Mighty Ducks got them down, or TGC was too dull??? Why don't they make up their mind??? It gets me even more confused!!!

What I was going to say, I don't read TGS. Confuses me. Anyway, who's Sata??? And who's that little doggie that looks like Boudicca??? Why is Brooklyn 40 years older??? Why is he wearing Future Tense's outfit??? Why is he Goliath's height!?!?!?!

[reads previous posts] Yes, I am an artist named Demona Taina. [bows] And... I know that MANY people use the Demona name, I used it too, Demona, plain like that. It brought me lots of trouble when choosing names for webpage, email, guestbook and stuff. I registered, WHAM!!! The name was taken!!! That annoyed me... That's why I added the "Taina" a while ago. ("Taina" was the female of the "tainos", puertorican's indians.) I am a puertorican!!! Ta, ta, ta... See? Some puertoricans know english!

[thinking of something else to say] Okay. Is there any chance that Gargoyles are brought back to the air? I want to see new episodes!!! [besides TGC] NEW!!! NEW!!! NEW!!!!!!!!!!!

And.. many programs had made fun of our precious Gargoyles. Like "Casper", the three evil ghosts were waiting for their dates, and they had to wait until sunset. When the "gargoils" woke up, the trio didn't like the Gargoils, they wanted ghosts. I have to tell, those gargoils didn't look like Gargoyles. They looked more like mermaids! Their wings small, their waists huge, and no tail. If the gargoils had a tail, I don't remember.

Freakazoid also made fun of Gargoyles. Picture this, Goliath, totally shadowed, in his thinking position. His wings very small, yet it looked like him. Freakazoid popped just next to him, and they talked about something that I forgot, but I do remember something... Freakazoid atacked Goliath with salad, and Goliath's back hurt. [bursts out laughing] Cool one, Spielberg!!!

[keeps on writting] I don't know if anybody would read this... but... it's a start!!!

[groans] I am disconnected right now, I am just typing and typing and typing and typing and typing... until my grandma stops using the phone! I hope it's soon...

Ta, ta, ta.... Ta, ta, ta... TA, TA, TA!!!! TAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hehe. I am hyper today. [doesn't know the meaning of that word, but has heard it lots of times, groans] Where's my english-spanish spanish-english dictionary??? [searches for it like crazy, can't find it] Ahh... well. It can wait... [laughs for no reason] Hehehe........

Robby> Why? you ask why I'd want to say "I am a carrot" in Welsh? The answer is a long tale, filled with intrigue, romance, fantastic battles against mind-boggling odds, and improbably long apprenticeships to various craftmasters.

The epic can, however, be summed up in this concise package:

"Because."

As an addendum to this somewhat curt summary, it should be noted that a long series of tests, algorithmic probablitiy calculations, and spurts of dumb luck have led me to believe that the Easter Bunny is, in fact, Welsh. Deep research has also indicated that said bunny is nearsighted and so unbelievably trusting that it will believe anything said to it in its native tongue.

Ergo, in order to capture the Easter Bunny, I must wear orange and learn how to announce that I am a carrot in Welsh, thereby allowing me to, at long last, thank the Easter Bunny for that particularly glorious Easter Egg hunt that I so enjoyed at the age of three.

MU HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!! NOTHING CAN STOP ME NOW!!!! Well, maybe a gargoyle, but that just means I'll have to work during the day, and keep my eyes peeled for psychotic redheads in business suits toting Mark XI.4 Grav-Pulse Flechette rifles.

Gabriel: The "Nick Knight" show is called FOREVER KNIGHT over here. There were three seasons of it. In the last season, Schanke (nick's partner) is killed and is replaced by a blonde woman named Tracy Vetter--there are also new vampire characters. How to tell what season you are seeing:

Season ONe: The police chief is a Native American man named Stonetree
Season Two: The police Chief is an Asian woman (forget her name)
Season Three: The police chief is a black man

SPOILERS FOR LAST EPISODE OF FOREVER KNIGHT***

In the last ever episode, Nick kills Natalie by accident and asks Lacroix to help him kill himself...you never see that happen on screen, but the implications are pretty strong...I dont' think they'll be reviving the show. More's the pity.

**LONG BIT OF VENGEANCE AGAINST MR. DIS. CONNECT**
This is for offlining me after I had nearly completed my post four times. And OTHER things as well...

The scene begins in a gymnasium. We se an old man who looks sort of like Mr. Miyagi from the Karate Kid, surrounded by twenty student, who all resemble Mr. Dis Connect, who for the purposes of this skit, we'll call Greg Uberman. "Now my pupils, you are ready to learn the concept of Tae Kwan Leap... Concetrate, and focus your energies." The room goes into a loud hmmmmm... as everyone concentrates.
A voice breaks the silence. "Um, master!"
"Yes, Greg Uberman."
"Um... How long is this gonna take?"
"To a true pupil of Tae Kwan Leap, a year is as a day..."
"A year? But I wanna kick butt now!"
"Patience my son..."
"All right old man, I'm gonna take you out if you don't teach me something now!"
"Greg Uberman, you fail to grasp te concept of Tae Kwan Leap... Come closer that you may learn."
"All right! This is more like it!"
"PAy attention class. Boot to the head." WHACK!
"Ow... You booted me in the head!" The master turns to again address the rest of his students. "Now class..."
"Wait shorty! I ain't done with you! You got me when I wasn't ready! Try that again!"
"Boot to the head." WHACK! Greg Uberman lays in a pile on the floor.
"Um... I think I'll just lay down now..."
"Now class, back to our meditation.?"
Another student who looks like Dis Connect speaks up. "Um master, he had a point. I wanna kick butt too."
"Have you learned nothing from GregUberman?"
"Two things master. One... Anger is a weapon to be used against your opponent. Two... Always get in the first shot. Boot to the head!" Whump!
"You missed." The master notes. "Boot to the head!" WHACK! The internet employee look alike hits the wall. The rest of the class looks on.
"GET 'EM!" The wise master smiles, and proceeds to decimate his class.
"Boot to the head. Boot, boot, boot..." WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! Before long, many forms of Mr. Dis COnnect, aka, Greg Uberman, are in serious pain.

**END LONG BIT OF VENGEANCE AGAINST DIS CONNECT!**

Kermit- I like the handle... SO when you gonna do a real post?

Demona Taina- ANOTHER artist named Demona? Gee, there's Crazy Demona, Demona May, you, and like half a dozen others... Weird...

Selanit- Wh would you WANT to say "I'm a carrot" in Welsh?

Coyote- Your stories in Spanish? Hmm, that could be interesting...

Tigron- (Begin playing Welcome back Kotter theme) Welcome back. I always liekd your name, hope you stay around this time!

Ed- FUN REVIEW! Unique, inventive, funny... Great!

Kyryn- Geez! In preparing to attend the Gathering, I'd forgotten all about A-kon! Geez! Gotta start planning for that...

Ironwolf- So why are you hauling around Lockheed instead of Kitty Pryde anyway?

Gooch- ya know, rants like that are what we have Mr. Dis Connect for. Good bit all the same.

One Eyed Squid- Opps! Sorry about that! I've gotten out of habit of placing spoiler warnings... Haven't actually done a real story review in a month. I'll be more careful from now on. And partially in my defense, some of what I said IS only rumor at this point!

**JIM'S PARTY**
The Ghostbuster arrived twenty minutes ago, and even with the help of Alucard, Harrison Ford, Adam West, and more, the Pokemon are just plain running rampant. SUddenly, Jim remembers, Music sooths the savage beast! So, he runs by Elton John and asks the legend to play something. "Crocadile Rock perhaps?"
"No Elton... We need something that'll draw those critters out... We need..."
Elton goes wide eyed at the suggestion. "I can't play that!"
"You've got to try Elton."
"All right..." The rock grea goes into a number he never performs, in hopes of taming the mutating Pokemon...

Finally, the Rangers teleport what's left of the robots back to wherever they came from before.)
(Argent's still laughing as Skyver stands up and stretches.)
"Well, that was diverting. See 'ya around, Argent."
"Thanks Sky... Wait, how do we get the force fields down?"
"With the way this party's going, I wouldn't suggest pulling them down just yet."

hi there,
TRC(nice of you toi translate it): Yes, I know Silver Hawks and a lot of the other shows. Here, in Germany, they were sending them over the last few years, so I think they are more new to me then for you.
Werewolves/Vampires: Vampires are first for me. Had anyone watched Interview with a vampire? This was great and of course Bramstoker. i think vampires are more interesting because they are after all more human then werewolves, but they have also the bloody side of their life. Has anyone ever seen Nick Knight(the series)? There you can watch this. Besides, does somebody knows if there are new ep's of it? There are little infos about it here.
*****SPOILER(new ep)*****
Ok, I think it was a good ep, because of Emrys/Corbie, and the Shakespeare part (I'm a fan of him), but I've missed the the pursuit of the last ep. Especially, of the leaving of banshee. But all in all i think it was a nice pause from the big storyline. I think TGS must fill up the holes until 2000 because the war (with fights and so on)will starts then.
****END SPOILER****
Ok, this for TGS.
Last question: Has somebody read Sworddancer by Jennifer Roberson? I try to get the fifth part, but here isn't any bookstore which has it or is able to order it. Hope for any anwers. Ciao

**RP STUFF**

Doug and those with him are driving through Las Vegas, headed for Kitainia's hotel. Doug turns to face the CR.

**PAUSE RP**

Traveler: Glad you're back. $ Kitainia wants you to post before she does, so she can read any RP reaction you have to the events of last week. So make your post soon please, it's not a good idea to keep a lady waiting. :) $

TJ Veil- Don't worry. I'm about 1/3 through with it now. The conflict is set up, the action is happening, and I just have to resolve it all. I'll get it done soon, don't worry, and then it will be posted. The cliffhangers and many other questions about my saga will be resolved!

Mandi: Looking forward to reading that crossover. Thanks for posting the teaser scene.

Hawk and the Crow: This ep was okay. Not a lot of action, but it did set up some conflicts that may be very important in the future. I liked how all the characters were developed, too. So okay job, thanks for the entertainment, TGS Staff!

TRC: I remember Silver Hawks and He-man, they were among my favorite shows when I was a kid. Teela was my favorite He-man character, she helped inspire Laura James. Never heard of Galaxy Rangers. As for Rushmore, I might go watch it. Depends on if I have time this weekend or not.

Demona Taina, Kermit: Welcome to the CR, newcomers. Remember to check your sanity at the door, but don't be surprised if it disappears while you're in here and you never get it back. Muhahahaha!!

Tigron: When was the last time we saw you? Too long ago! Welcome back to the CR, man, hope you won't go away again any time soon.

Steve Gooch: I remember Bionic Six, too. And Tiger Sharks (that show you're referring to)! I still know the theme song for that one. "You got a tiger by the tail, hold on, Tiger Shark..." <sigh> The price of a photographic memory.

Not much to talk about this early in the week, I guess. Later all!

**RP AGAIN**

Doug and the team drive on to the hotel, soon arriving and meeting up with Kitainia. "Okay, what's been happening with you guys?" Doug asks the rest of the Ravens after the usual reunion pleasantries have been exchanged. They all head inside the hotel for debriefing. Jerry and Tom take note of the group gathering together from the street traffic, then drive their Range Rover on to a nearby garage. The screen goes blank.

I figured I might as well tell y'all about this:

The International Lyrics Server has been shut down and their servers have been confiscated by the police. The National Music Publisher's Association has sued them. Am I the only one who thinks their priorities are a bit misplaced? I mean, look at DumlaoX: this guy is a copywriter's nightmare. Don't you think that their time would be better spent tracking down this heinous criminal (*wink*) than suing innocent people? I thought so. (No offense, Dumlao, just making a point).

ED - Where on earth did you find all those surnames? Ones like "Firrington" and "Porrisbly" are entirely new to me. Not to mention "Mogroth" (which looks almost like a typo from the Silmarillion). You certainly qualify for the Charles Dickens Award for Colorful and Unforgettable Last Names.

And glad to hear that you liked the Shakespeare's nits part; I might add that the nits that Emrys brings up are all genuine ones. (For some mysterious reason or other, he's avoided making any comments on Richard III as portrayed by Shakespeare, even though there's been a much greater effort made at trying to improve Richard's reputation than Macbeth's. In fact, it's a little surprising that the rehabilitationists - aside from Greg Weisman, of course - haven't done much to salvage the Scottish king's reputation).

Silverhawks and Bionic Six> I used to like those shows. I really liked the animation quality for Bionic Six.

Steve> Try checking your BIOS and CMOS settings. It sounds like the system screwed those up somehow. I've had Windows do that to me once or twice before when it crashed. It's probably lost the settings for the hard drive. I sympathize with your computer problems since one of mine currently won't recognize the mouse - no matter what I do.

Greetings

***Spoilers for new ep***

Hmmmmm, a little shorter then we're used to, but by no means unenjoyable. Now that I think about it, it was rather nice to be able to an entire story in one period
instead of reading it on and off throughout the day.

The acctual story was both well written and enjoyable. I found Emyrs's fustration with being a kid again rather amuseing, and the "chance" encounter with his new girlfrien is definetly going to devolop into something more.

There is one small thing that is bugging me. What is the problem everyone seems to be having with Shakespear being historicly inacurate. I can understand why Macbeth and his lady might habor a little resentment toward old Will, but Emyrs? Let's remember two things. First, the history books of the day were written to entertain, not educate. Historians often took liberties to make the books more intresting. Shakespear couldn't have written the accuratly if the information he had read was inacurate. Secondly, and more importently, Shakespear had to be very carefull not to insult those in power, namely the monarchy. If he did he would have ended up with his head on the pike. And I think the Queen would have been very insulted if one of her ansesters was made the villian of one of Shakespear's plays. I seem to remember someone saying it was something like this with regards to Macbeth, and, although I have never read Henry V, It's more then possible it was the case here to.

***End Spoilers***

Robby: I know Beast Wars isn't even related to gargoyles or TGS, but could you put some spoiler warnings when discussing things that haven't happened yet. I useually try to avoid spoilers for all my shows, but since this room has nothing to do with Beast Wars I wasn't on my gaurd and would have prefered to remained unspoiled. Thanks.

Hey all, been a while.

TRC > I remember all those shows. Loved Silverhawks. Was a total He-man freak. Anybody remember Bionic Six? And what about that show with the people that lived in the undersea dome that could turn into fish hybrids? This has been bugging me for years that I can't remember the name. All I remember is the leader's name was Mako.

DumlaoX > Heh. Care to share the IP of that gold mine site with the group?

Now, another rant... you've been warned!

***WARNING! STEVE'S BI-MONTHLY COMPUTER RANT***

GRRRRRRRR.... this one takes the cake. Even worse than when my HD crashed last november. My computer had been on for 3 days straight running Winblows, which is trouble to begin with, and when I installed some IntelliMouse drivers to get my mouse wheel back (after the HD crash last year), all hell broke loose.

ScanDisk screwed up, Windows locked and crashed, and suddenly my D: hard drive has become a CD-ROM! It seems the new drivers weren't recognized and I... Can't... Open... the D: drive. What does that mean? All 6.4 gigs of mp3s, multimedia files, and Quake are completely inaccessible.

What's that you say? Uninstall the mouse drivers? BTDT. Didn't work. Y'know what this calls for?

[Steve whips out an MP-5/10, flicks it over to full-auto, and fills the motherboard with 10-millimeter hollowpoints. Then, standing over the smoking wreck of bullet-ridden PC, he crams a thermite hand grenade into the carcass and laughs maniacally as the stubborn machine flames and melts into a molten puddle of plastic and metal.]

Ahhhh, that was therapeutic.

We are also going to be throwing a party at A-kon (for those who are in the Dallas area the 1st weekend in June). This is a huge anime con. For info, click my name. Who knows, if I can get Okami to show up at GWT, we may throw a party there as well. I'll at least try to get him to put in an appearance to meet folks.

Demona Taina: Gargoyles got cancelled because ratings weren’t high enough. You can only be first at the beginning of the week, when the room is cleared.

***SPOILERS & COMMENTS FOR “THE HAWK AND THE CROW”***

Rather than doing another drab little assortment of comments, I thought I might try a little more of a light hearted approach for my review of the latest Pendragon tale. So here we go!

Mr. Mogroth addressed his class. “Today, class, we’re going to take a look at a TGS episode! Now, pay attention everybody and get ready to make notes. Right now, class- what do you notice about the introduction?”
“Sir, sir, sir!” yelled a boy at the front, his hand shooting his hand up in the air.
“Yes, Mr. Thompson?”
“It says previously on Gargoyles, but it’s a Pendragon episode.”
Mogroth gave an exhausted sigh. “No, Thompson- I mean something relevant.”
“Well… Mr. Hill’s a bit like you sir- no sense of humour!”
Mr. Mogroth grinned sourly. “I can certainly think of a few members of my colleagues to whom he could quite adequately describe. But, Mr. Thompson, I thought you might mention something like Emrys and his fine knowledge of literature. Oh, for a pupil like him rather than you bunch of donuts!”
“Hey, sir! That’s funny?”
“You bunch of donuts? Well, you are laughable…”
“No, sir- Emrys is hilarious! But why would you want a pupil as outspoken as that sir?”
While the twinkle in his eye remained, a withered expression crossed Mr. Mogroth’s face. “Well, Mr. Hill evidently hasn’t realised that teaching outspoken geniuses is better than teaching pondweed.”
Another voice spoke out. “Sir! Sir! Is this set in wartime England?”
“No, Mr. Firrington, why would you think that?”
“Well, Corbie uses the word “rotters”! It sounds like something from Enid Blyton or Richmal Crompton or…”
“Good point, Firrington, but if you’d paid attention to the date at the top you’d see it said 1998.”
“Sir!” Chumpton said, “the date’s behind!”
“So are you, Mr. Chumpton.”
The teacher signalled for Porrisbly to speak up. “My comment sir, is on how interesting Arthur’s comment is on Merlin growing up again is.”
“Excellent point Porrisbly!”
(A bit of rubber threw through the room and hit Porrisbly on the cheek at this point, for his contribution).
“Hey, sir!” Thompson again spoke out. “Why are these thugs so stupid? Why can’t we have Madoc or Loki, or Demona or Coldsteel or…”
“They’ve been in episodes over the past few weeks- pay attention Thompson, and your marks may improve!”
Firrington spoke again. “But sir, it’s a point- why are the thugs travelling from speaking in that “I’m rock ‘ard, me” tone to “yes, dear chap, I’d rather fancy being a Vampyre” tone.”
“You’re just reading off the MEET THE MINIONS notes we did- make some fresh contributions, somebody!”
Once again, Mr. Mogroth turned to Porrisbly. “Sir, I’d like to say that I think Rigg’s eagerness to be promoted to a Vampyre is a brilliant demonstration of the control Lucius has over the minions. I am also highly impressed by the way Corbie and Emrys are developed together, and it was good to see how Leba, Elaine and Norman featured!”
“Thank you, Porrisbly. An excellent critique.”
“However, it does seem to lack a real driving force, and the mediocre English accents do grate in places. Also the ‘current king’ would be better changed to ‘current monarch’ given that Shakespeare wrote much under Elizabeth I.”
“What?” shouted Mr. Mogroth, acidly. “I will not tolerate such disrespect to TGS writers in my classroom! You are going to the Headmaster's office this instant!”

Well, that’s quite enough of that stupidity! ;) Ultimately, although this ep is quite flawed, it was worth it for the hilarity of seeing Emrys rip it out of Shakespeare! I loved that! In fact, I’m going to print it out. :)

Oh, and the sketches were cool too, Spike! :)

For more information on the Morrigan, read the Tain (sometimes spelled Daoine). It's Irish epic literature. All sorts of gud and bluts. If you don't have the time to wade through ancient Irish cattle raids and berserkers, consider reading "The Godmother's Apprentice" by Mercedes Lackey -- there's a decent amount of information about the Morrigan and her sisters in there, and it's hysterically funny to boot. <G>

***SPOILERS FOR "THE HAWK AND THE CROW"***

Corbie is an EXCELLENT character, except that she's obviously the evil Morrigan. That bugs me, since I know that Emrys will find out sooner or later, and I don't think he'll be very happy. :-(

As usual, Spike did some excellent drawing, even if these were just pencil sketches. Definitely helped put the picture in my mind of the character.

(NOTE: Not everything on the "prendez" section is ready yet; some of the files were too large to upload at the time. I'll fix that later).

Demona Taina: The reason some people charge money for pictures often has something to do with one of the following: 1) The cost of paper, pencils, other supplies--I myself tend to go through black awfully fast... 2) The fact that they'd be buried in work if everyone could just demand as many pictures as they wanted for free 3) All the time it takes to do those pictures--if you've got enough requests, drawing's like work...and if you can't enjoy it (because of you not feeling like drawing, but someone's commissioned a pic from you and wants it done within a reasonable amount of time) you're getting paid for your time and effort.

I'll fess up.... the character sketches of Corbie were the ones I did waaaaaaaaaaaay back this time last year when the original outline for "The Hawk & The Crow" was being hashed out. I generally only initial pencil sketches -- see the funny "csh" squiggle just under the sitting figure? I'll admit that the story's changed somewhat from my original draft, but stories have a funny way of doing that.

If you people only knew how often I leave a TGS outline and meander off on a tangent and come back again to the main story....!! *laughs* It's a wonder TGS lets me write for them at all.

***End TGS Spoilers***
\Vampires Vs. Werewolves- My vote is with Vampires. They are so creepy. And I don't mean like the way that they have portrayed vampires recently. Like with Buffy. great show, but the vampires are more like animals, than the really evil creatures they are. I always seen the best vampires portrayed as luring thier victoms in, making the victomes trust them, rely on them,and then betraying that trust, and enslaving the victome to the desires of the vampire. Its just really creepy, because even though the victome is tricked, they choose their fate, because the vampire generally encourges a behavior that seperates the victome from others, and causes them to focus on themselves. (Best example I've see was self pity.) Thats why I think Vampires are the worst creepies yet.

He-man- I remember this well. ^_^ That and She-ra, the Thundercats, Rainbow Bright, My Little Ponies. A lot of the cartoons today lack any story line, or are simplistic and pointless. funny, I guess, but I don't like those types. :p There are some good one out though. ^_^ I have to agree with whoever said that thing about the WB. They do tend to have a lot better programming! ^_^ Bye!

Kaioto and Demona> Oh, don't worry so much. I doubt the regulars will get too annoyed. After all, every single one of us was new once. And we've all made mistakes as well. I know *I* certainly have, anyway! <G>

*** TGS Spoiler Alert ***

In case the authors read this, please keep in mind that my comments here are meant to be constructive, not an attack.

I can't say I liked this episode much. It was nice to see Corbie again. (I *think* I remember her from previous episodes, anyway.) <G> The one thing about the story that I really *did* like were the pencils of Corbie. Who's the artist? The pic wasn't signed.

It started off well, and it continued decently. As individual units, each scene is fine -- the Morrigan's departure from New York, Emrys' departure from school, the thug's departure from humanity, they all work internally.

But there's really nothing to string the scenes together. The motion of the plotline is jerky. Having started all of these different threads, I expected them to start feeding into one another. Instead, the story ended abruptly, with little or no effort to weave the threads into a larger whole. IMHO, the story needed to be either twice as long as it was to show some relationships between the disparate scenes, or else it needed to choose one or two scenes and focus on how they play out. As it was, the texture of the story felt . . . incomplete, lacking the emotional involvement necessary to make me want to hear more.

That is what I think of the story as a discrete unit. As a part of the larger TGS whole, it strikes me as an interlude to firmly establish a previously unimportant character (namely, Corbie) before plunging ahead with the rest of the story. Like a short breath before pouring out a long sentence.

I can understand the reasoning behind occasionally turning away from the main plot for a short time in order to introduce new elements. It is sometimes necessary. In this particular case, I think it could have been done more smoothly. I identify in the story three new elements: the Morrigan going to London, Corbie meeting Emrys, and the thug-whose-name-I-can't-remember asking to become a vampire. Any two of these elements could have worked up into quite a good story, but trying to do all three in a story of this length was too much. And the bit with Arthur meeting Elaine and her shadow outside the school could have been left out -- it had the air of someone saying "Oh, by the way, this happened too."

So that's what I thought. Out of five stars, I'll give this two.

DumlaoX: So... How was the date? I noticed you cleared the CR on time (Bummer. I was hoping it would be cleared earlier today or around 2am!)
I know the two of you don't live in the same area...
Do you ever video-confrence? If not, how come? It is easy! All you need is a Pentium 150 (on each side) and some $80 video cameras! (Quickcams)

LM, PG, and I went out to Olive Garden tonight. At least the day ENDED fairly decent...

"But then I wouldn't be close to you, sugar lumps!"
<Swearing, Cursing... loading... aiming."
"Fine. THIS will make you stay!"
<Elisa whips out her Avenger Minigun and turns Mira into swiss cheese.>
"Consider this a divorce!" Elisa says as she stands over Mira's smoking corpse, blood staining the concrete as it speads.

NOTE: NOT the Elisa from Gargoyles!

Okay, I've never been here before, but, there is always the first time, huh?

I've been wondering, why they cancelled Gargoyles? Such a good show! It has everything, everything. Romance, adventure, time traveling, love, betrayal, pain, suffering, laughter, handsome guys, ugly guys, cool themes, well, everything cool.

What happened with TGC anyway? Just because it was made with another staff why it had to suck??? I've been waiting two long years for those series, and I want to see them! That's why I am getting them mailed to me. I want to see them! SEE TGC!!!!!!!

I never read TGS, just a few episodes. It sounds cool, but it's too long for me. Because I am a native spanish speaker I can't read the stories like americans do, but yet, I understand them.

TRC- What I've heard about Beastwars is almost definatley official, it came straight from the writers themselves. A shame,but maybe they'll see their error yet. The season/series finale in 6 episodes is supposed to do a decent wrap up job... And I recall saying I didn't like what they had done to Dinobot... That he looked messed up and half borg now and wasn't nearly as cool as a villain... (Incidentally, fairly reliable rumors say Tigertron and Airrazor will return in the final episodes, and that the new Dinobot may be closer to the original than he first seems...) I like Cheetor's upgrade though.

Silver Hawks and He-Man I remember vaugley, but they were slightly before my time...

And also, admit it... Holding out on Timedancer for a month is just a good idea... That way you can read the whole story at once instead of having to wait a week between each part...

To anyone wondering where I'm getting all my sound clips from, I'm including a link. Throughout the rest of Jim's party I'll be supplying such music bits, to try and make the RPing a slightly fuller experiance. I'm either dedicated or I've got way too much free time...

6th or 7th .

**PARTY RP**
TRC is seen in the Kitchen of the mansion wearing an apron , with "Worship the Chef" written in the front . He is plucking a large , decapitated chicken . He then seasons it thorouhly and plops it on a large plate before he turns to the CR to make his post .
**PAUSE RP**

To Whomever altered the format of the "Add Comment" area , many thanks . I much prefer this format to the origional .

God bless the WB , I find that they have more sense than alot of the other networks that show nothing but reprocessed garbage these days . Carrying on Brimstone is one of the best moves they have made so far . The one thing that has superseded this move in genius is carrying Beast Wars . Speaking of which .

Robby : If what you have said about Beastwars is true , then I immediately revoke half of my faith in the WB as a good network . Where did you find that GB sound clip anyway ? Also , I think you may have mislead some of the readers here last week , they did'nt bring back the origional Dinobot , they just made a new one . No offense intended .

Vampires vs. Werewolves : Werewolves all the way people , they are without question the coolest , well second coolest fictional creatures ever . Though IMHO vampires are a very close third .

My DMV Dilema : Thank everyone for all your kind words and support . I must admit that right now I am able to go to sleep with a HUGE smile on my face because of the experience . (I just imagine running every teller that gave me trouble , down with a bulldozer inside of the building *satanic grin* ).

Samurai Pizza Cats : I have never heard of this show before in my life , though I must admit that you have all piqued my curiosity with all your talk , so do'nt just leave me hanging , where can I fand the version for the emmulator .

Speaking of these old shows , does anyone in here remember :
Silver Hawks
Galaxy Rangers
He-man
or any other of those great shows from years gone by . Galaxy rangers used to be my favourite , and silver hawk my second favourite .(NB.- These were my pre-Transformers days , I feel that nothing has , or ever will top this show being my favourite .)Also , does anyone watch "That 70's Show" , it currently ranks on my personal top ten .

Dragon Ball Z : They may well have cut some of the more awesome action footage from the series . I once saw one of the origional comics where Vegeta was fighting Rekoome (s/p?), and the initial hammering was rather downplayed , I remember that it involved a severe back breaker that would have snapped anyone in half .

I have decided to perform a test of will and not read any Timedance episodes for a month . If I can do this , I will have proved to myself that I have a strong will , and I can get Daddy off my back . Or at least the words wo'nt sting as much since I will know that I possess the strength .

Anyone else here going to see "Rushmore" . This movie looks like it might have a prank war of epic proportions . Sheer morbid curiosity demands that I see it .

**RESUME RP**
TRC is about to place Boo's well seasoned , headless body into the oven when a mutated charmander burns through the door . TRC barely manages to duck and roll out of the way as the flames sweep over every exposed surface in the room . Unfortunately he had to drop Boo to get ou of the way in time and the chicken was burned to a cinder . He slowly gets up , and looks out the door , he notices Locheed's well fed condition , the dancers in the background and the general hell raiseing going on in the main room . his gaze then drops slowly to the once Charmander looking up at him from the door . His black eyes begin to take on the appearance of glass as he reaches for the largest , heaviest , sharpest kitchen knife , and slowly begins to advance on the more than slightly worried Charmander .
