Bronx Wyvern > Aaaauuuuuuggggghhhhh! I want one! Just when I think my collection's getting complete ... darn darn darn! ; )

Doug > thank you for waiting so impatiently (it's good to know I've still got it! <g.). I have a Silver Flame commission to do, and then I will be finishing Dark Beauty.

Off-topic book stuff > I had my first in-store reading and signing yesterday and it was GREAT! What fun! (and speaking of origins for the names of the twins, hee-hee, at some future point Brooklyn and Sata could have picked up the ElfLore trilogy, which stars a charactr named Ariana ...)

Gee, Dumlao wasn't kidding about a late wipe this go around...

65 DAYS UNTIL STARWARS EPISODE ONE!

**BEASTWARS SPOILERS**

Okay, I was upset when I heard Megatron was gonna be turned into a dragon, but now that I've seen it... WOAH he looks awesome!

**END BEASTWARS SPOILERS**

Ironwolf- Yeah, you warned us about Wing Commander, but I had hoped that being a fan of the series and games, I'd see past the flaws.

TRC- I sent you a summary of what happened in BeastWars and War Planets yesterday. Not much, they were reruns. But today, AWESOME new episode!

Kiato- I liked your creativity demon with Lex saying its not easy being green.

Kermit- Welcome back! (Reads second message) To posting!

Jackal- Oh come on man, did you have to tell us about those puppies? That does it, from now on, I just skip your posts.

Okay, its probably a given most of ya will be too busy reading this weeks story to get around to what Heather told ya to find, let alone hunt for the link, so here's a link to her story, and then some. (Click click)Eesh, shamelessly plugging for my girlfriend, there's a shocker.

****TGS SPOILERS****
The Longest Day Part 2: An excellent conclusion to the story. I suspected that Demona's spell would interfer with the unseelie earthquake spell. The scene with Demona and Andrea was very well written. You can really start to see a change in both Demona and the Clan's attitude toward her. One minor problem - though it seems that the dream belonged to maeve it was never made absolutely clear whose dream it was.

Snow day!
I found a really cool deal at KB Toys. They were selling alot of unopened boxes of collecter cards, and one of them was Gargoyles! The original price was something like $30, but it had been cut down to six! I now have a complete set, a nearly complete set of doubles, and about a forth of a set of triples! *BIG smile!*

TRAVELER> [Hotmail thinks my first name is Darth...] LOL!
FANLIGHT and KAHREEN> Nice to meet you! Don't worry about that blue tree by the door, it's our new bouncer.
CELANO> I wanna help too!
SJ> [Do you smell what the Rock is cooking...] I don't think you really want me to answer that, as I am getting rather sick of that question! (j/k!)
BRONX WYVERN> Don't worry about the triple post. If it's not your fault, you have an excuse to hurt Mr. DC! :) Also: Congrats on your find! The only Gargs toy I can find ANYWHERE is one of Macbeth.

USA Today vote> Who won, Animaniacs or Doug?
Names/ Pronunciations>I definately prefer the TGS names. I always pronounced Graemae gra-MAY, but how do you pronounce 'Sata'? SAY-ta or SA-ta?
Quetion> Exactly how much of the design of the Gargoyles is copyrighted?

Uhhh... I'm too tired... and I still have this damn head cold.

<>WARNING! JACKAL RANT START!<>

Jackal: Prozak is for depression, DEFINATELY not for whatever is messed up in you.
Puppies are where I draw the line.
I am very tolerant of most things that people say or do with thier lives. I draw the line at two things:
1. Baby humans (Shaken baby syndrome. :(
2. Puppies
Jackal, you need some serious help. With how your lifestyle is, you are not helping yourself and you are certinaly not helping your children.
Think about this question long and hard, Jackal:
Do you want your kids growing up to be like you?

АААААPossible "censorable" material ahead, depends how you look at it.ААА

<<how'd your test go? You know, THAT one. You okay?>>
Ohh yeah!! I told yall about that..., I forgot. I am Negative! YaY for me! Clap for me damn it!!! hehehehehee I'm on Prozac. Not legally.., but I'm on it. Oww yall guess what! A friend of mine, her dog had puppies about 3 dayz ago, she had 7 of em, and it was cold that day..., ok, cause she had em early in the morning...., I'm guessing 6/7 am. Well, we didn't notice the dog had the puppies until after 1. So we went out there and yall...., it was soo sad and patheitc it was funny. There was 4 little frozen to death puppies scattered in the backyard. And my friend Vanessa, she gets the remaining living puppies and puts them inside the house, and I take the momma dog inside too! Well, me being the person I am..., thought something needs to be done with these 4 dead puppies...., something they'll be remembered for, being there life was soo short...., So I go pick them up and pile them on the picnic table, I tell Vanessa to go get the video camera, she's like why? I said just go get it. When she comes out, she sees me playing with these dead dogs like puppets. OK, I had two of them, one in each hand, facing each other, and I'm acting like they're talking to one another..., like this...
АААHello, how are you?
I'm good, dead, but good.
Really?! I'm dead too, how did you die?
I froze to death because my mom couldn't keep up with all of us.
Yeah!? That's how I died!ААА
Well, that convinced Vanessa I needed alittle mental help..., that I was emotionally stressed or some crap like that. So I took her advice and went and got me some Prozac! I don't feel parnoid, but I feel like some people are watching me..., when I'm out in town anyway. What was I talking about??? Oh yeah. I'm HIV negative, and they gave me 20 condoms, and I was like thanks even though I have no one to use them on, not that I'm bitter, but anyway, moving forward....
<<Hope your absence from this place didn't drive you too sane.>>
I've never felt better. Ohh, speaking of never feeling better, did I tell yall when I got arrested for public drunk..., at Pizza Hut? Anyway, I need to report to my probation officer 2morrow, isn't that cute?!?? I'm thinking of taking the video camera with me..., See, I've never had an offense serious enuf to have a probation officer, might as well document the first time, ya know? They..., well the judge told me that I could not drink or do drugs during my probationary period. Well you know me..., I said can I do drugs after? If looks could kill, that judge would've brutally murdered me. What am I talking about??!??
<<Puff Daddy> but just knowing it's rap is enough to keep me away>>
It's not rap, it's other people's R&B hits..., but your right for keeping away! I'm great if anyones asks.....
<<Then he said to me, that he thinks that all people that do not belive in the Christan GOD should go to Hell>>
Just call him Pysco God boy. Ask him if his God will save him from the ass whoopin your about to give him, hehehehee. But no really, just tell him, "If your God is that ignorant, then I'll want to be as far away as I can get fom him." I speak from experience, I'll burn in the everlasting pits..., how bout you???
<<Maybe then I'll find out how you resolved that situation we discussed in e-mail.>>
I think a few words will sum it up for the time being..., hurt, pain, anger, confusion, don't give a flying..., squirrel. If anyone asks, I'm great!
<<As for God, what does an Almighty being transcending the limits or our understanding by His very ~ existence ~ care what syllables or animal grunts we use to identify Him?>>
The voice of reason!! Listen to this instead. See, I believe in God, (as do demons and devils, so says the bible), I just don't like him.

Kaito It is normal to be 18 and have Sesame Street flashback. For me especially, I've worked on the show for thirty years now. Shame about Cookie Monster. Have you people heard about whats happening to him? He's being replaced by a fruit monster. I think its stupid. Cookie is a good friend of mine.

**RP!**

[On the Avatar Of Ganon...Administrator: "All that remains of Area 51 is now ours. Unfortunately, none of the crew knew where Thailog's main base was, and the coordinates were not stored in any of their computer systems, so we do not have that information." Wilek: "Dang. On the other hand, we *do* have those Metal Gear 5000s." Administrator: "We also know that a fleet belonging to one Admiral Nipon has launched and is in transit to a location known as NORAD." Wilek: "Uh oh...Launch the MG5000s to intercept...and arm them with some of your new weapons. The more we use those, the more our ranks seem to increase... <evil chuckle>"]

**END RP!**

Robby> <<wonder which one is right?>> Probably the TGS staff knows. Howz 'bout it dudez? <g> <<Perhaps NOW its understandable as to why I want to wait to put my stories up for when she's done all the art for them>> Is it ever! I've already mailed her to ask if she can e-mail me a scanned pic instead of giving her my mailing address. Probably going to have her do pics of Miriam, myself, and me in human form (for a future story).

Bronx Wyvern> Congratulations on finding that Bronx toy! (Why did I never encounter one?! I go to Toys R Us all the time looking for Gargs stuff!)

Celano> Your manifesto is fascinating reading...But Undertaker should probably survive. He may be a wrestler, but anyone who has lines like 'I am the weaver of nightmares' (which *must* find its way into my fics) can't be all bad. :P

Fleur> <<*Fleur tries to imagine this, but her mind shields away from the mental image in pure terror.*>> Ohh...does this remind me of a story. A while back, I was besieged by mental imagery of the canon Gargs characters as drawn by Matt Groening (Simpsons artist). To alleviate this, Doug directed me to a twisted little tale called The Simpgoyles (for which I somehow forgot to thank him; I hereby do so). Now, my mind does with Groening imagery what yours does with that song. A substantial improvement over my former state of affairs, I assure you. <<is there a smiley for 'impressed'?>> How 'bout... 8O

Heather> Interesting idea...I'd certainly like to see how the problem would be resolved; the author of such a story would have to be pretty clever...

Steve> <<There ya go, Wilek, you are having an effect on us>> You mean with the technobabble? <ehehehe> Yes...soon we tech geeks will rule the earth, and the technologically impaired will devolve into little more than simple mindless primates who we will train to fetch slippers and play dead! EEEEEEEEEEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHAHAHHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAH! <G> BTW, www.emux.com always carries the latest versions of most emulators (I think), in case you need to upgrade. I think the latest ZSNES is .800c.

SJ> Um...what the Rock is cooking? Jabronie? What language is this? Jabronie doesn't sound like Latin or Greek...maybe it's from one of the Slavic languages... :)

$TRC> Well...you should probably avoid setting events into motion that would destroy a significant amount of our combat hardware (ships, drones, etc), but other than that, probably nothing major. I'm not sure I even have anything planned out at all; I've mostly been making this up as I go along...$

*Staggers in, off balance and haggard* Hi everybody boy was Spring Break a disappointment this year and on top of it all I have an ear infection sigh some weeks it does not pay to get out of bed. Still, it's good to be back. :)

Wish the CR had wiped today ... could'a come back in style ... but that's just pride eh? The words should always be more important than a place in line. *Shrugs*

Ragnorok & Nostradamus: Hey so what, doom comes? I don't believe in destiny, but in free will. Our future is our own. How hard we are willing to fight for it will ultimately determine how much we effect change around us. Our hearts and wisdom will determine whether these changes are for good or for ill. If the world is plunged into darkness by an anti-Christ, then it will be because we sucked so bad we let it happen. If the Unseelie win and enslave mankind, or life is extinguished, it is because to many of us did not assert our A-THORIT-AY! *Ala Eric Cartman* The responsibility does not fall to some guy writing mysticism centuries ago, nor ancient superstitions from a bunch of my bearded relatives that the Norse Fay turned into their servants and worshipers millennia ago. It lies not on the shoulders of a few surviving gargoyles and a few lucky enlightened folks. It lies not in the hands of a blue skinned freak and his pack of lap-dog followers either. It lies in the hands of you and I. The Anti-Christs all got away with their evil because people Chose to look the other way, not some mystical force of destiny. Destiny and luck are merely ways to walk away from a victory with the prize, and a defeat without taking responsibility. The Unseelie are vulnerable to anyone who can lay hands on an iron spike. Stake 'em if you got 'em.

Ravyn: I think the world would be a much better place if people sought understanding instead of hid in fear. I understand the parental mentality, but the situation is still poor. Sorry. Hope to see you bad as soon as you can. Good luck.

Lawrence: Closed hearts and closed minds have no place in the worship of the Maker. I want to apologize for that boy's rude, ignorant, and foolish statement. With people like that kid growing up uncorrected in this world is it any wonder people kill each other over a few lines of unimportant dogma at the cost of all their core values? Judgement does not come for the Christians and the non-Christians to be set apart, but for the wicked and the good to be set apart. Ghandi most certainly went to Paradise. Christ was not a Christian. As for God, what does an Almighty being transcending the limits or our understanding by His very ~ existence ~ care what syllables or animal grunts we use to identify Him? Christ taught that the sincerest form of worship lay in the doing or good and the spreading of love an understanding. That boy who bothered you does not have the slightest inkling of what it truly means to Live as a Christian.

Nature Philosophy in General: God's substance is that which the universe is made out of, and His force of Creation binds all things together. Every living and unliving thing in the universe and any others that exist are connected in common by that force. Every tree and star is testimony to His majesty and sharing such wonder in testimony to His love. God ~ is ~ the universe, the Earth, the sky, the void of space, the grass, you, and me. All exist in the Mind of God, a model of thinking many Catholic Theologians have come across and the Church accepts. So why is it that folks claim to follow the Church and Christ then disrespect ~ anyone ~ let alone those who appreciate the simple gifts of God more than they? There are certainly poor examples of each camp to be witnessed. If you look only at the trees, you see neither the forest nor God. If you look only at the altar and mumble prayers while other things cloud your mind and heart like hatred and greed, then you receive neither God's sacraments nor wisdom. Closed hearts and closed minds have no place in the worship of the Maker.

My Creativity Demon Struck Today: Picture if you will, Lexington - all alone - sitting on the parapets of the castle, his legs dangling off the side over the sprawling metropolis below when he sighs and begins, "It's not easy being green " I wonder what it means to be 18 and still have Sesame Street flash backs? :)

Nightmare: The most horrifying nightmare I can conceive of is the one that haunts me most: The fate of Pontius Pilate. Torture and death are frightening, but a thousand times more dreadful is to have murdered your God.

Wow that was an utterly depressing thought. Well, I guess that's my biggest demon. *Sigh*

Lexy- Fire Storm pretty much summed it up. The names Graeme, Ariana, and Sata were used before Greg said what his plans were, or the fact that the two kids would be different ages. By that point, there were already a couple of canon pieces, and it was too late to go back. As far as explaining some of the names, well... I'm part of the Timedancer season 3 staff, (In theory... Planning has to start for that first... Right now all we've got going is a bunch of Dark Ages stuff... Sigh...) and I have a couple of plans to explain Graeme and Ariana's names. Can't say what they are here for security reasons, and besides, they haven't been accepted yet... But trust me, I'll make sure your request to see why the characters were named what they were named comes up... (Besides, Nudnik was actually named in Out of Joint if I recall correctly.)

***SPOILERS*** Steve< im with you man. TGS is good. i just was really disapointed when they went and changed Katana's, Nashvills, Tachis, and Fu-dogs names. WHY?? why not take the challenge and write in a story to explain WHY these characters where named these?? And why NOT keep it the way it was, Tachi youner the Nashville..oh well.
Just think..how did they get those names..hmmmm I always thought mabey..that Brooklyn could meet Katana..cant speak her language yet..so he goes in and TRIES to talk..but scews it all up..hears the word 'KATANA' mabey a fellow clanmate refering to her blade..so he THINKS thats her name..and uses that to refer to her..later on it sticks.
For Nash..i dont know..heck..mabey they were traveling in an airplane and they were hiding in the cargo area and someone accidentally stamped his egg post marked to NASHVILLE so they ended up carrying that darn egg around till they got used to calling it nash or nashville and it stuck..FU dog, mabey NASH named him when he was lil I DONT KNOW!! but its fun to think these up..not to change the names..*shrugs* oh well..

Darn, I was all set to do my Highlander impression once again.

Movies: Wow, boy am I glad I didn't go see "Wing Commander". Between the reviews from you guys and from the paper, that film must have been one big stinker (but not the worst this weekend--"Baby Geniuses" takes the cake as Most Retarded Film of the Year). I knew things didn't look good when a) they changed the Kilrathi, who I rather liked as felines, and b) made pretty much all of the leads young twenty-something actors (I could go into another rant against Hollywood Youth, but I won't). Yeah, Mark Hamill, Tom Wilson, and the rest may not sell as many tickets as Freddie Prinze Jr., but at least they know the character and can act it well.
Bad news is that I hear "Analyze This" was number 1 again. What is it with this movie? This looks like the WORST film Bobby D's done in a long time. I mean, I'm not a big fan of his, but he's done better than this!

Oh well. I'm looking forward to seeing "The Matrix" when it comes out. Coolest trailer I've seen recently (besides the SW v.2), even if it does have Keaunu Reeves in it. "I am an FBI agent!" "There's a bomb on this bus!"

Gargoyle Archive: AGAIN??? *Sigh* Great, just when they got it working like I liked it.....

Coyote: Need not be ashamed of your feelings, my friend. I thought your little speech was beautiful (although I must admitt I felt a little uncomfortable reading it--it was probably a little too personal for my wandering eyes). You're a real great guy, you know that? I'm gonna be praying for you too, but I know you'll be strong.

Pro Wrestling: All you wrestling haters had better know your role and shut your whole, otherwise I may have to lay the smack down on your candy-asses! Do you smell what the Rock is cookin? Don't mess with me or my pro wrasslin, you jabronie. And if you don't like it, I got 2 words for you: S*** it!!!!!!!!!!!

Farscape: Anyone check this out on the USA network tonight? It's gonna be one of the new shows on the Sci-Fi channel. Looks kinda good, with the folks at Jim Henson Studios doing the aliens, which is great. Regardless of all the new technological advances, I still have a soft spot for animatronics. Give me "Labyrinth" or "Dark Crystal" anyday!
BTW, anyone know the name of the book they did on all the various goblins from the Labyrinth? It had some great artwork in there, and a little background on all the various creatures.

Hey all,

***X-Files Spoilers***

Pretty good episode tonight, all things considered. We finally get to see Area 51 and what's going on there. And while I'm a vocal opponent of "body-switching" plots (sorry, we got waaaaaaay too many of those movies in the 80s), they're handling it pretty well. The scene at the crash site freaked me out, and by the time the gas station was destroyed I was already thinking "localized spacetime distortion." There ya go, Wilek, you are having an effect on us. :)

I was so wrapped up in finding out what the hell was going on - and busy LMAO at some parts (Mulder's escapades with Fletcher's family and Fletcher hitting on the secretary) - that I lost all track of time and the "To Be Continued" brought a shout of protest. Dammit, Chris Carter, you just *gave* us a two-parter a month ago! Argh! Can't wait for the next part, this one definitely gets my approval.

**End Spoilers***

Wilek > Thx for the emulator info, I'll have to check out which version I'm using. Yeah, I checked out the Essential Guide to Vehicles, but never bought it because I was on the receeding edge of my Star Wars kick at the time (hey, I'd already spent hundreds of dollars on SW RPG sourcebooks). Cool-looking book, but I never liked the design they gave for the Sun Crusher. I always thought it looked way too much like a bowling pin than the sleek, fast ship it was described as in the books.

Story idea.....( Might be stupid idea)This is not a TGS story idea.

I know some of you odn't like the show Road Rules/Real World but I was wonder what if during "Equality" Angela puts in an application if herself for the show ? And after she gets accepted......but how could she become human for TWO MONTHS ?

Think about it.

**RP**
The TV turns itself on, showing Fleur plummeting down the elevator shaft, trying to open her wings, but unable to glide in the confining space. Desperately, she half turns and grabs the elevator cable with both hands, and screams as the top layer of skin on her hands are sheared off by the friction. Finally, she stops falling. Hanging there, she hears the sound of bells ringing, and somebody saying 'red alert'. A second later, the elevator shafts starts vibrating slightly. Fleur looks down and sees another elevator coming up.
"Oh sh.."
The TV chooses this moment to switch off.

Hi all,

Coyote> Don't you dare appologise for what you called 'navel grazing'. It's how you feel and frankly, you have every right to feel the way you do. I know it's been said, but I'll add my voice to everyone else's - we're here for you buddy, and like you, we're hoping. *hugs*

Robby>>The hamsters music is the Disney's Robin Hood theme, sped up, sung badly and with an evil laugh at the end< *Fleur tries to imagine this, but her mind shields away from the mental image in pure terror.* Wow, it doesn't do _that_ very often. :)

Kyryn> You out ran a tornado? I'm impressed. (is there a smiley for 'impressed'?)

Traveller> >you have asthma to?< Yeah. Normally it's okay, except when I get a cold or something. Then things get very interesting. That Humanity stuff was well said. BTW, welcome back. :)

Lawrence Stone> I've also had an unpleasant encounter with somebody who thought I should believe as they did. The best, and only, advice I can offer is to try not to let them get to you. It's hard, but when all's said and done, those kind of people are just not worth it.

FANLIGHT> Welcome to the insanity! And I promise I won't confuse you with your sister.

Jewel> I'm with Wilek - What the heck is the story behind that quote?!?

Mary> Ew, what a shocking week. My sympathies.

Bronx> *grins* Congratulations on getting your Bronx toy.

SJ> Of course Al Gore didn't invent the Internet! Geez, everyone knows that. It was Dogbert and the garbageman - they just blamed it on some college kid. :)

Kitania> You really want to read it? Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you. Buffy isn't even the primary crossover, so when I posted it to the BtVS creative newgroup, I changed the disclaimer to warn people. That version of "Wherever You Are" is linked below if you're interested - but you have been warned.

Wing Commander> I pretty much agree with all that's been said. But what really makes me mad is that because of some of the new flicks out now, "Blast From the Past" isn't showing ANYWHERE in this state! Arrgh! It hasn't been THAT long; "Payback" is still in theaters!

**NON SPOILERS FOR WING COMMANDER AND BATMAN BEYOND**

Wing Commander- I started to see this today. About half way through it, I walked out and demanded my money back. It was awful! I won't bother giving a critique, Kitainia hit most of the bad points I saw, but I suppose part of the reason I disliked it is because it was so untrue to excellent games and series... The characters I knew and loved were badly portrayed, and the Kilrathi... **sigh** Ah well, at least I saw the Star Wars trailer a third time...

Batman Beyong- Todays episode was okay... Like everyone else I like that Bruce had a spotlight again, but I dunno... My like of the series was hurt after the Freeze episode, which was excellent. Ah well, bring in Rash Al Ghul and then we'll talk...

**RP ALERT**

At the secret base, the bad guys heading for NORAD begin getting into their vehicles and shipping out. The ocean jump-gate opens again and the cloaked Star Destroyers pull out, heading west toward Colorado Springs. It looks like Thailog's army will soon begin enacting its plans.

Meanwhile at the Marsh Building, Kitainia is guarding the rear as her friends run for the roof and Traveler. The security guards have just destroyed the mad robot, and as she backs up and fends them off with her laser, Kit turns to make a CR post.

**RP PAUSED TEMPORARILY**

DumlaoX: Cool new pic of you. I wonder what the occasion is (you're all dressed up!).

Jackal: Welcome back to the CR. Hope you'll soon return to us in full. Maybe then I'll find out how you resolved that situation we discussed in e-mail. :)

Atilla: <grins, returns nudges with long leisurely pats>

Wilek: Oh, you are so right about Traveler. And I think Doug already told you how I tasted bear meat.

Ravyn: Doug and I continue to pray for you. Hope your parents understand your feelings soon and let you come back. Good luck. <puts up a wax-catching cloth around the lit candle>

Coyote: Don't get too sad about Ravyn leaving us now, we all know she'll be back. Although it is a good thing that the two of you love each other so much. Love like that usually doesn't die, and if it does it never dies easily. I hope you two are reunited soon and eventually have a very long and happy life together. :) BTW, thanks for the great entertainment of "Liberty or Death!"

Deuce: Right. <grin>

Christine: I wish you continued good luck with getting your novels published. Hope I can read them soon. :)

JEB: Don't worry, we will enjoy it. Especially tonight, when Gubio, Jammer, and Tricia host their infamous Bryn Mawr style bra party! (Don't worry, inquiring minds, there will probably be a synopsis of its most entertaining events posted in here.)

Mandi: First Buffy fic? Okay, I have to go read it. Soon as I finish posting in here.

Traveler: Welcome back to the CR. Hope to see you again soon. <smile>

**BEGIN SPOILERS FOR WING COMMANDER, THE CORRUPTOR, AND CARRIE 2**

Wing Commander: Two words for this movie- Insultingly Cliched. The Star Wars preview before it was great, but the movie itself...Ugh. For starters there were major plot holes, and the plot was also comic book style. Little or no explainable character development, they totally snubbed Maniac after his girlfriend died, so much of the action was TOO convienent, etc, etc, etc. I also disliked what they did with the Kilrathi (what happened to those great noble but villainous felines they had in the cartoon?) and got really angry at the movie's treatment of women. One of its female characters died foolishly, and the other only survived so she could kiss Blair at the end. Grr... Doug and I gave this movie a 5/10, thumbs down. At least it had some good space battles.

The Corruptor: This was a good movie. I liked all the character development they did on Danny and Nicholas. Henry Li also made a great villain ("You're under arrest. "Let me introduce you to my lawyer."). The movie's plot was very easy to follow, and flowed great. The action was also excellent. I felt like crying when Chow Yun-Fat(who turned in a very good preformance)'s character got killed. Eight/ten stars, thumbs up.

Carrie 2: Also a good movie. Cool action, great plot and character development, and at the end all the bad guys got what they deserved. (That I always like to see.) Also two very cute leads, both of whom put in great preformances. And the end scene, whoa, that creeped me out. I haven't been that scared in a long time. Kudos to the producers for it. This movie gets a 9/10, thumbs way up. :)

**SPOILERS OVER NOW**

Fanlight: Welcome to the CR. Hope we end up liking you as much as we do your sister.

SJ: Oh, come on, Doug and I are badasses! Aren't we? And we're independent. Guess we must be the exceptions that prove the rule. :)

Oh, btw, everyone, the GFW archive is down AGAIN. Let's all pray that Chris gets it back up soon. And if any of you want to punish Mr. DC for it, feel free. I would myself, but I can't think of anything appropriate.

That's all for now. Later.

**BACK TO RPING**

Kitainia shoots down the last few pursuing guards, just as the Ravens rush through the door to the roof. Traveler and the Stooges are still up there, laughing and clowning around. Apparently they are oblivious to the battle going on in the building. Marsh's emergency escape helicopter is beside them, its rotor blades spinning. Boris fires his bazooka and destroys it, getting Traveler's attention. The others quickly take measures to prevent Traveler from getting away. Lathrop casts an anti-teleportation field on the roof, Shauna points her bow at Curly, Shap his shotgun at Larry, and Mist her chaingun at Moe. Doug and Kitainia cover Traveler with their weapons while Stephanie and Jaden watch the door. "Okay, Traveler," Kitainia tells him. "We got you trapped. I believe you have some explaining to do." "Kitainia!" Traveler grins sheepishly. "Doug! Good to see you guys!! Let me guess, you want to know about my involvement with Marsh and Khaos, Inc!" "Right," says Doug, waving the gun at him. "Start talking." "Well, it's like this..." (We'll let Traveler pick things up from here. He better do it soon so we may continue.) The screen fades out.

I've always thought that Graeme's name was pronounced to rhyme with flame. As for the names themselves, I think Graeme and Ariana are better than Nashville and Tachi, though I don't think it would've mattered if they used the original names, they aren't bad. But I prefer Nudnik over Fu-dog most definately! ;)

BTW, what's with the 'TGS Illustrated Quotes' link? I clicked on it and alls I got was a copy of the main page...

The link to my name is to my site... I updated it on March 6th, and remember to change your bookmarks and links to the new fortunecity URL. (If the bookmark to my page is at fortunecity, you don't have to worry about anything.)

*****SPOLIERS FOR BATMAN BEYOND******
I'm happy to see that the crew is putting out new episodes rapidly.. but I would appreciate it if they would show the other episodes than showing the very first one... cause that just gets boring :P Anyhow, "Shriek" was pretty good, I liked that they inculded Bruce more this time. Sure Terry is the star now, but Bruce began it all, and he should have equal on the spotlight. I'll look forward to see if Shriek will egt his hearing back, becasue he does make a formidable opponent for Terry. We shall see though.

SEVARIUS JR. - You have a point about the fay, but I still think that trying to wipe out the entire lot of them without inquiring into which ones are guilty and which ones are innocent is the same sort of thing as Demona's genocide schemes which would wipe out pro-gargoyle humans such as Elisa alongside gargoyle-haters like the Canmores.

* BATMAN BEYOND SPOILERS *

I liked "Shriek". For one thing, the focus was finally back on Terry and Bruce, where it belonged, rather than using them as just the plot device for foiling the villain. The bit at the end where Bruce revealed that he still thinks of himself as Batman, even after having passed on the torch to Terry, which Sevarius Jr., was a particularly effective touch. So was the bit where he showed Terry the theatre where his parents were murdered, which started it all. Another memorable piece was the silent battle; did anybody else besides me consider it to be positively creepy?

Demona Taina> A lot of what you said is correct, but a couple (like Angela kissing Broadway) was in 'The Journey', the first episode which *was* written by Greg Weisman, and which is considered canon (and which I personally liked very much). And blood was shown throughout the series, not only in TGC.

Graeme's name> I pronounce it to rhyme with supreme: Wasn't "Ari and Graeme, the team supreme" said in the very first episode?

Though I do prefer Nashville... :) but that's just because I like the combination Nashville and Tachi, better than Graeme and Ariana.
I hate "Fu-dog" though. I very much prefer Nudnik.

Spike> Lovely trailer. It seems it will be a cute ep...

Coyote- Dude, first and foremost, you should NOT be appologizing for what you said in here. It was heartfelt, honest, and you needed to say it. We're you friends and moral support here, and if you ever appologize for saying what you feel again, especially about someone you really care about like Ravyn, I'm gonna have to steal my dad's car, drive up there, and hurt you. Remember dude, this place IS like the Cheers bar after all, just without the liquor.

Graeme's pronunciation_ So lets see... We have Graham, Grah-Mey, Nashville, Grame (Like flame), Gray-M, Grai-May... And I probably missed a couple. Gee, wonder which one is right?

Demona May's artwork- Perhaps NOW its understandable as to why I want to wait to put my stories up for when she's done all the art for them...

Republicans/Democrats- My dad has a t-shirt from the '88 election. On it is a picture of a cowboy with two smoking guns. Behind him are a bullet riddled donkey and Elephant, the cowboy calmly saying "That's mah vote."

Mary- Being a fellow 16 year old writer, let me offer this piece of advice. Expect your work to genius quality. If you don't expect it to be the very best, it won't be. But if you do, there's a possibility it may come out genius quality. Ya never know. In my case, its a moot point since I'm editing the entire saga I have to make it flow together while awaiting the artwork... When my stuff goes up, it'll be in such huge quantity it'll have to be genius, whatever anybody says. Heh heh heh.

Gooch- get NBC to do a report on good websites? Possibility, except 1) It wouldn't get ratings so they wouldn't do it, and 2)If this place was spotlighted, great example that it is, suddenly there would be hundreds, maybe thousands of people suddenly coming here and... Hmm...

**ADVENTURES OF JIM IZA NOYING-The Robot: Conclusion!**

Jim looks up from his comic book, and faces the robot. "So, you're going to kill me, is that it?"
"Yes."
"And there is nothing I can say to change your mind?"
"No, I am programmed to come here and kill you. That is my only objective."
"Really?" Jim gives a weak smile, and runs out of his yellow sub, and jumps into a nearby spot of water, hoping the robot can not follow. The robot can, switches on some underwater propolsion, and soon catches Jim. He then proceeds to take the rich boy out of the water, and points a laser at his head.
"Ya know, you could have just drowned me. Would have been done already."
"Dang, I knew I screwed up. Ah well." The small robot points one of his drilled fists at Jim, and powers up his laser. "Prepare to DIE Jim Isa Noying!"
"Woah, what did you call me?"
"Jim Isa Noying. It's my mission to kill you."
"Um, I'm Jim IZA Noying."
"Aw shoot, I nearly killed the wrong guy. Again!" The robot turns away, and sulks off into the distance, his little gears turning and taking him far, far away from Jim.
"That was... Interesting... And rather anti-climactic. Ah well." Jim shrugs, and the camera fades out.
THE END... But I'm sure I'll have more later.

[On the Avatar of Ganon, Wilek recieves a call from one of the ships he sent out: "We've found where the enemy ships docked...but it looks like little more than a big hangar; it can't possibly be a main command base. There are several similar sites nearby; we think they were part of Area 51 before we disintegrated it." Wilek: "Alright...Begin the next phase, except assimilate the base instead of destroying it. I want to know exactly where Thailog's hiding. Avatar out."]

**PAUSE RP!**

JEB> <<have you played the new Castlevania for the N64? That's a kewl game>> That, friend, is a massive understatement. It RULES! :D Especially the music for the title screen and the first Dracula battle. <<Thaddeus Klang? I can't say I remember him>> He was a cobra with black robes, a black hat, a metal jaw, and cybermechanical arms, who was voiced by SJ's dad and was looking for some kind of superweapon in the lost city of Tinnabula.

Kyryn> DANG. How weird can one life possibly get?! Oh, and Don Karnage is a fox, not a wolf. (I'm not speaking figuratively; he's actually an anthropomorphic fox.) :)

Celano> Oh, I do love giving RP information to places that demand my personal info. In fact, I've set up a Yahoo mail account that I rarely check, just to give to services that require it whose security I find questionable. Haven't used it much, but I like knowing it's there. And...can I help you destroy professional wrestling? Please? :)

**RESUME RP!**

[At the secret base, Thailog recieves a communication from Area 51. A frantic lieutenant appears on screen; the sounds of something screeching and pounding on the door behind him are heard. Thailog: "What's going on over there?!" Lieutenant: "I'm not sure. All of a sudden, a bunch of *things* decloaked all over the base...Raptors, sir. Borg velociraptors." Thailog: "What...?" Lt.: "Wilek Fieger I and the rest of our clones escaped unharmed, but these Borg have been assimilating the rest of our crew members left and right; half the base is now little more than a Borg construct. They've hit just about everything; they've even assimilated most of the Metal Gear 5000s--Oh, shoot!" One of the Borg raptors breaks down the door and hits the lieutenant with a dart of some kind; his skin becomes pale and begins sprouting Borg implants just before the commlink cuts off. Thailog gives up communicating verbally, instead roaring and smashing his desk.

Hey all,

Ravyn > If you're reading this, then that's great. However I'm also writing this to everybody in the room. I feel the same as everyone else, that you're getting a raw deal and I feel terrible for you. But I noticed in reading your post that the most 'oft repeated word is "hope." That's what you, and I, and everybody in here needs right now, in this case, in this world. Hope that, as Deuce said, things will get better after they get worse. Hope that your parents will see things more your way. Hope that people will learn that, *IF* (way big "IF") the internet is the bastion of chaos the media sometimes makes it out to be, there are still some places where you can go and be safe and appreciated. Hope that there will be a place that, like in Cheers, "everybody knows your name." Hope that you will someday return to us. We'll be waiting.

[Grim face] I hate writing things like that. Dammit, we need NBC news to do a week's worth of coverage on "Internet Sites that Are Beneficial to Your Children and Won't Harm Them." And I hope that this CR will be one of them :) There's too much negativity in this respect that's frightening parents into believeing that the internet is a dangerous place - when in fact it's not, as long as you have some modicum of common sense.

Lexy > Anytime :)

Wilek > Might I ask which emulator you use? Mine is Zsnes, which doesn't accept chip-enhanced games. Thx.

$Marauder corvettes, eh? Been reading the Han Solo Adventures/sourcebook?$

Traveler > Yes, the Sovs detonated a gigantic thermonuclear device in the 60s - completely in violation of the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty that they themselves had called for. I'm not completely sure of yield, I'll have to look it up. But they set it off at one of their test facilities on Novaya Zemlya, a big island between the Barents and Kara Seas. (Hell, I only say this because I think "Novaya Zemlya" is one of the coolest-sounding phrases in the Russian language. Anybody know what it means?)

Ordell > Still looking for the SW1 trailer? I can hook ya up if you want it.

Coyote > You have absolutely nothing to apologize for, friend. What you call "navel-gazing" we call letting your true feelings out, and there is *nothing* the matter with that. Believe me, while you may not want everyone here to go through your pain, we don't think of it that way. We're here for you, man, the same way we're here for everybody. Consider us an ethereal shoulder to lean on. People come in here to rant about problems or celebrate good things, there's no reason why you or anybody else can't share your pain with us. You didn't *force* anyone to listen to you, we did it because we care, and because I care I won't let you apologize for it. Chin up, pal. Things will get better. And once they do we'll be here to share the joy just like we're here to absorb the sorrow.

Demona Taina > <Everytime they hurt someone the blood was shown. Something that Disney NEVER showed.> Yeah, Disney really went against their "standards" with Gargoyles (thank goodness). I still don't like what they did to "Vows," however - editing out the blood that Xanatos draws from Goliath when he kicks him in the mouth.

<-----I think I'll pick my mommmy today. I'm getting sick of my sister. She's such a goody-two-shoes! I guess she gets that from Dad. ;)

AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God!!!!! I had such a crappy week!!! I say all my teacher can simply go to Hell and let Satan perform mass torture on them!!!!!! With smurfs!!!!!! *takes deep breath and collects herself*
OK, now I feel better. I just had a bad week and yesterday I couldn't take it anymore and I started to cry in English class. I've been getting back assignments that I worked hard on that are all done WRONG and I have to do them over again for a third time. I couldn't get my geometry teacher's signiture for my schedule planning for next year or have him fix a missmarked absence because he threw his back out and was gone for three days, I have a science project due at the end of the month, I made a poster about a Web of life of a vernal pool I visited on a feild trip only she didn't want a poster size she wanted a ordenary piece of paper size so I looked like an idiot with a large poster with me, and then when I got home I had to go spread mulch around my backyard. All in all, Life has been giving me shit.
But on a lighter note I earned 25$ and spent it on a pixie necklace, and various yummy-smelly bath stuff and body mist and a magazine.

Travler>Yes! Perfect! I love the idea! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! Torture all evil souls in Hell!!!!!!

OK, I have been told by some people that they've read my story and like it. They say it's not up there with Christi Smith Hayden or Christine Morgen but they still like it and are dying to read more. This makes me feel soooooooooo much better. I'm only 16 and am not expecting to be a genius(sp?) on the first story. Or the second or seventh. But as long as they want more I'm glad.

****WARNING: RP COMIN' UP, AND LOOK, IT'S WEARING A WINTER PARKA!!!!*****

Thailog and the rest of the villains are all discussing their plans amongst themselves....all except the Phalanx commander, who for lack of a better name, we'll call Phalanx Prime. He has interfaced with the Collective; their race has the unique ability to communicate with one another without the use of common communications equipment. <<I want you to send one of our War Planets. Find wherever the former Dark Star crew has relocated, then engage them in battle. But most importantly--bring me back Dr. Anton Sevarius. We have certain.....plans for him.>>
****PAUSE RP:*******

First off everybody, a bit of a narcisstic plug. Demona May was kind enough to send me a couple of pics she had done that, in my opinion, fit my two fanfics perfectly. Click on my name to see how well they work. She's a GREAT artist, but then again, most of you already know that!

Wilek: Actually, I'm quite familiar with the Temple of Darkness Ascending....

Cute Girls: I know the whole "cute girls" debate was done and over with weeks ago, but I just gotta add my two cents, cause I never did. I'm sitting here watching the USA network's Saturday night shows......All the women are good-looking. Especially Brooke Langton on "The Net" and Peta Wilson on "La Femme Nikita". She can assassinate me anyday! ;)

Graeme: Actually, I pronounce it "Graham", as in "Gray" and "Em". The H is fairly silent.

****BATMAN BEYOND SPOILERS*****
Pretty good episode. Good to see a new one after they played the first episode.....again. For like the fifth time. Anyway, Shriek makes an interesting villain, but doesn't he look like those old from Batman: TAS? You know, the ones that that one guy had...the guy who kidnapped Mr. Freeze.....the design looks familiar.
Plus there was that funny bit at the end.
Bruce: "I knew I wasn't crazy. The voices in my head always called me Bruce. That's not what I call myself in my mind."
Terry: "Oh yeah? What do you call yourself?"
Knowing glance from Bruce.
Terry: "Ah. You would call yourself that, wouldn't you?"
*****END BATMAN BEYOND SPOILERS******

Al Gore: Moron of the week award goes to him. He claims HE invented the Internet. Does it scare anyone else that this guy may become our next president? Personally, I think that the entire upcoming election field needs to be cleaned out......perhaps with explosives......hmm, Mr. Bigglesworth runs unopposed for President. I like it!

Traveler: You're Republican? That figures. All the real badasses are Republican. Ahnuld is a Republican, Bruce Willis is....who's a Democrat? Skinny ol' Tom Hanks. No matter what war film he's in, no way I could buy him killing anybody....
But it makes sense. After all, aren't Republicans supposed to be the "evil" party?

Doug and Kitiana: <<"We stayed up last night celebrating Spring Break in our own way...">> Oh Jesus....Thank you soooooo much, now I got that little movie running through my head......;-P
[BTW, don't get spastic, this was a joke!]

Ebay: You know what's fun about this? Logging online and jacking up the prices with false bids. Yeah, it's cruel. But c'mon, I've seen plenty of morons bidding 100 bucks for a stupid beanie baby, so I have no sympathy. Next time you see a Furby going for $2,000, you'll know I struck again! ;)

Fae: Well, I'm gonna have to agree with Traveler on this one. I know it's not right to judge a specific group of people based on the few rotten apples of the bunch....but c'mon, there are a LOT of fae who are, essentially, @$$holes. From the "I'm-so-much-better-than-you-cause-I-speak-proper-English" royalty, to the trickster fae like Raven, they're mostly jerks. They only care about themselves. So a few of them have taken a shine to the "lesser" races. In terms of family relations, the fae would be that snotty, snobby aunt & uncle (i.e. Oberon and Maddoc, Titiana and Maeve), and they're bratty children (i.e. Loki, Raven, Banshee, etc.) who no one really wants to spend any time with at Christmas but your parents force you too. Down with our fae oppressors! Up with humanity! ARRIBA LA RAZA!!!!
Sorry if I have offended any of the fae population (or half-fae, or fae-loving) of the room.

Ravyn - I know you might not see this, but at least it will be in the archive when you do eventually return (of that I am certain above all else)... I didn't speak with you that often, but I consider you a good friend, and this Missouri Mule will sorely miss you. And personally, I hope you do eventually get to meet Coyote someday. He's a good kid (and I say that will all respect due), and the two of you deserve all the happiness you can get in this world.

Coyote - Well, I wasn't expecting that kind of a closure for the RP, but I am honored for the kind words. Keep your chin up, Don! Things always work out for the best in the end.

Welcome to the room to everyone I missed.

And, to close out tonight...

***** THE REAL CLOSER TO THIS PART RP *****

Sometime later, after a short hop back to the garage, Big Jake and Kerri are saying farewell to Coyote and Ravyn; who are about to ride off on one of Kerri's spare hoverbikes.

"Thanks for pulling us out of there, Jake," Coyote says, shaking the tall man's hand.

"Hey, forget about it!" Jake growls good-naturedly. "Are the two of you going to be alright?"

"Sure, but are you gonna be okay? I mean, it's one thing getting us out of there, but are you sure you want to take our place in the fight?"

"Hey, we've been in worse scrapes before!" Kerri replies with a grin.

"Besides, from what I hear, Thailog has got to be stopped," Jake adds, "and if your friends are as cagey as you've told me, they might not mind a little extra help."

Nodding, the couple turns and saddles up on the 'bike, taking a moment to make sure Ravyn is secure before revving the engine. Coyote then turns to Jake and slaps him on the shoulder.

"Take care of yourself, Jake! Hope you make it through the storm that's coming," he says, his voice choked with emotion.

"Same at you, Dog-Boy," Jake replies. "You take care of each other, y'here?"

"We will," Ravyn replies, hugging Coyote around the waist.

"See you!" Coyote adds, just as he turns the 'bike away and guns the engine, heading off into the moon-lit desert.

Watching the two people riding off into the night, Kerri turns to face Jake. "You sure we want to do this?"

"I owe him big-time, sis," Jake replied. Turning back to face their VTOL jet - Big Bird - he adds, "Come on. Time to light a fire under this thing..."

Hi again.

Just because Im a stickler for anniversaries, this day last year I left the TGS and struck off on my own (whereupon Iwent immediately into literary oblivion). Hope all you people at TGS are doing well, and I hope your projects are also doing well.

And now, for something meaningful to say...

***SPOILERS AHEAD***

The Longest Day -Part 1> I thought it was an okay episode, made better by the central idea and its length. It had good action and character development, and was well-written. And I did like many of the jokes in there.

I did feel, though, that the structure of the story left an unsatisfying taste in my mouth. Theres no series of story threads that run through the whole story. Its more like several short stories coming a couple at a time and connected with Scotch Tape to make a long story. What it says to me is that the planners started out with an idea that wasnt strong enough to be carried by itself through two episodes, so they simply added a number of events until the story reached the right length (not in absolute numbers of pages, but in terms of the amount of events in the story). It would have been handled much better if there were only one or two story arcs in this episode that were all introduced at the beginning, and then used as the primary source of events throughout the episode (the one thread that this here, that of Broadway getting bitten by Rita, and Angelas attempts to cure him, is sort of buried by the other plot threads).

So, overall, while I think this was a good story, it lacks the proper direction and cohesiveness to be truly great.

Brothers in Arms> How would I rate this one? The storyline is one I thought rather pleasant and well executed, more cerebral than the episodes of TD so far. The writing style could have used some work, but not much more than that. The three soldiers rather grew on me as well. So I actually liked the episode quite a bit.

The only complaint, in fact, that I have with the story (aside from it needing a little more stylistic polishing, and its extremely brief length) is that the three seem to be clones of the Trio (Henry/Brooklyn, William/Broadway, and Simon/Lexington). Im sorry, but that facet of the soldiers should have played a much more important role in the story, as far as how Brooklyn reacted to them (that is, if the resemblance was intentional; if not, well, I actually expect a lot more of the TGS staff than cheap character clones...).

***SPOILERS OVER***

Well, its getting late, and I ought to be moving on. See you all later!

P.S. I always pronounced Graeme as Grai-May myself.

"Lucy?" Caspians voice echoed in the hallway before he popped into the room. "Oh, there you are. Your boyfriend the digestive biscuit is beeping you on the computer again."

"He is NOT my boyfriend," Lucy said as she hopped off the couch. She scowled up at her big brother. "And dont make fun of him. Graeme is a perfectly lovely name."
------"Night of the Weird"

*laughs* Apparently, Caspian (and by coincidence, so do I) pronounces Graeme the same as graham as in graham cracker. I've always been rotten at pronouncing things.

Hi, it's been a while, huh?

***BEFORE I FORGET***
Well, i guess that my IRL sister started the same way that I did, thinking that this was a chatroom. Please, forgive her for posting a couple of times, she didn't know. But, don't worry, I explained her what was a comment room, and she will behave. That is, if I let her post again...

Anyway, I went to sleep, and when I woke up, I saw that my sister was in MY computer and in the comment room. I groaned when I saw that she had posted a couple of times. I, of course, gave her the lecture... hehe... she won't do it again. So, please forgive her, she is kind of new to the net.
***END BEFORE I FORGET***

So, I have BIG news!!! [grins] I saw TGC!!! TGC!!!!!!!! [does a littlen dance] AT LAST!!! After two years of waiting for TGC, I finally saw it!!!! I must admit, it wasn't as good as I thought. But, it wasn't at all bad... just a little good...

Anyway, I LOVE the theme!!! It's so cool!!! [hums TGC's theme] Man, it's even better than the theme of the first two seasons, don't you think? The theme was computer animated, and it had pieces of screenshots around. Cool! I could watch it many times over! I bursted out laughing when I saw the pigeons. Hehe...

The magic is gone, the characters have changed, even Goliath has changed! I mean, come on! Goliath blaming himself because Lexington disapeared!?! Hudson being reckless?!? Goliath giving Brooklyn the lecture!?! Broadway kissing Angela!?! Bronx eating sausages!?! Goliath not kissing Elisa!?! [stops to think] Hmm... on second thought... [grins] Kiss me instead!!!

What surprised me was the blood. Everytime they hurt someone the blood was shown. Something that Disney NEVER showed. And Goliath being hit with four sedants!?! Isn't one enough??? Ouch... I can just remember when Castaway shot Goliath in his chest... [cringes] Man... that must have hurt... [concerned] Oh, you poor baby!!! [runs over to Goliath, looks at the wound] Can I touch it? [touches it, Goliath roars REALLY loud] Ooops... bye-bye... [runs like hell]

I guess that I'm not being funny today, maybe I'm tired. Tomorrow, I may come full of jokes. I'll be armed with funny scenes even in my teeth! NO ONE CAN STOP ME FROM BEING FUNNY!!!!!!!! NOT EVEN JIM CARREY!!!!!!!! NOT EVEN FULL HOUSE!!! NOT EVEN THE SIMPSONS!!!

[laughs maniacally, runs around the room spinning, jumping, cackling, covering everyone with silly string] Hehe... got funny? [clicks the submit button]

Quickie post while the phone's not in demand.

Ordell, Deuce> <> I checked out the SG-1.net site, and apparently "Out Of Time" was the season finale. Hey, "Within the Serpent's Grasp" aired at around the same time last year, and it left us hanging too. BTW, if either of you saw
"1969", could you tell me whether or not it aired the week before this? Mom says she taped it, but I can't find it anywhere on all the unlabeled tapes here. Deuce--if you really want to know what happened, e-mail me and I'll send you a synopsis of the ep. I don't think SG-1.net is caught up on synopses yet.

Fanfic characters' worst nightmares:
Callista--She's hanging off the side of the Empire State building and stuck with her mother the entire time.
Drew--A relapse. Enough said.
Sarah--All forms of caffeine vanish from the face of the earth.
Handsaw--The Quarrymen find out just who's been tipping the police off and come after him.
Sam--When she learns what it means for her, being dragged to Avalon.
Madison--Probably something involving Demona, but I haven't gotten there yet.

Coyote> You have my sympathies too, since that's all I can really give. I'm thinking about you both, and hoping that everything works out. Good luck to both of you. *sigh*

Todd> Can you check with whoever's running the TGS mail list that my school account's been taken off this week? The server isn't going to handle the unread volume of mail well--I know that firsthand.

Phone check time....til later!

*sigh* Yes, I'm still here, and now I have two days' worth of posts to catch up on ...

As an aside, I do hereby sincerely apologize for my navel-gazing last night. Though I felt completely miserable about Ravyn's situation, especially in how I thought I might have created it, I shouldn't have forced this room to go through my pain with me.

Stephen: $Thanks for wrapping up our end of the RP ... you couldn't have known what was going to happen, but it sure was convenient. And I liked it, myself I thought it was an excellent way to end it.$

Pronunciaton of Graeme's name: I pronounce it "graym," as I believe it is suppose to be pronounced in the original Gaelic it is derived from.

Parental paranoia: In some cases it is justified. In this one, it is not. That's all I have to say about the matter.

SJ, JEB, Traveler, Wilek, Deuce: Thanks for your support, guys, I really appreciate it. **weak smile** I'll try not to hurt as much, I promise.

Jewel: Don't take offense at this, please. But someone should talk to you about your timing. **sigh**

Doug, re "Liberty or Death": Thanks for the comments. As far as what happened to Samson ... you'll see in the next one what he's been doing.
Oh, BTW, thank you once again for your support, both you and Kitainia.

Traveler: Okay, to answer your questions ...
1) The Rokkans are a race similar to the aliens in ID4. They move from planet to planet, conquer them, leave a small force to rule, then move on. As such, their entire civilization is constantly in motion, save for whoever they leave on conquered worlds. So yes, they *can* run out of reinforcements, and since they really don't have a homeworld anymore, they can't call for help from home anyway.
2) You along with everyone else will see what happens with Thorn in the next one ... let's just say that with Thorn, you can't assume *anything.*

Mandi: None taken. Who cooked marshmallows over the 386 I cooked in the chat room, huh? :)

Fanlight: Welcome to the room. Please forgive me for not being more cheerful.

One more thing before I leave for the night ...

**Coyote reaches into another of his extremely deep pockets, pulls out a tall candle and holder, and places it on the table at the center of the room. Produing a Zippo lighter, he lights the wick, placing a card at the base of the candle. Shortly before leaving he shoots looks at Dis and Kenny that scream "don't-screw-with-the-candle." Finally, he walks out the door. Everyone bends over to look at the card at the base, which reads:**

FANLIGHT - *sigh* This is a comment room, NOT a chat room.

TRAVELLER - Interesting comments on "The Longest Day Part One", but aren't you being rather bloodthirsty? Particularly since you can't blame all the fay for the actions of some of their members. Granted that the Unseelie Court and a lot of the Seelie Court members are pains, but how about the more pro-human ones such as Grandmother, Coyote, and Prometheus? I don't think that destroying the innocent alongside the guilty is a good idea. And judging all the fay by Oberon, the Weird Sisters, Madoc, Maeve, and Loki is rather like judging all humans by Castaway and Sevarius, or all gargoyles by Thailog and Coldsteel.

"It's Jafar Juinior!" -Iago, upon first meeting Mosenwrath, one of the three coolest Aladdin villains, the others two being Miraj and Jafar.

Traveler- Actually, that "We need to hunt" teaser for Sacred paths was in there. I didn't want to tip anything off, so I chose a quote that had very little to do with anything, and then cut it in half. Note that I used ... on both ends, indicating it was a partial quote. In context it doesn't have nearly as much impact as the four words used alone. I think the actual line may have been changed some in the final put up version as well. Whatever the case, I only do teasers for stories I work on. Of course, there is another TD story later this season... Expect some nasty teasing around then...

Bronx-Good luck!

Lexy- My guess is you wait until the next round of TGS staff sign up. Could be a while though.

Duece > I doubt that was the season finale last night. There was no lead way into it. It was mostley a flashback story, like "Politics" in the first season. If it follows the same pattern, there will be to more episodes in the season. Of course, if it is the end of the season, then it was a great way to end it.

SW1 trailer > For three days I've been trying to download this. Everytime something happens. When I do get it downloaded, I can here it, but there's NO FREAKIN' PICTURE. And, I refuse to pay $7.50 to get into a crappy movie just to see it. But I'll keep trying, and I'll be first in line out here in the desert, where we have 24 screen total, and their still showing The Waterboy on two screens. The sad part, people are still going to see it. I had to go to Austin to end up seeing 200 Cigarettes, which was worth it just to here Christina Ricci speak with that accent.

I apologize in advance for my crime. Please skip this post if you have no interest in my Xanatos cel.

The auction on my XANATOS CEL at ebay ends tomorrow, Sunday, at 4:50pm. If you are unfamiliar with how ebay works, I urge you to check it out today, or you will be unprepared for the auction's close tomorrow, when the bidding will heat up. Keep in mind that ebay veterans make their high bids last minute. If you are interested in the DEMONA CEL, it is NOT up for auction yet. Email me if you are interested, I will keep you informed about it. There is a reserve, but it is only as much as I, myself, paid for each cel. I am obligated to sell to the highest bidder, so if you miss the auction and try to make me an offer after, it won't work. Good luck!

**RP BEGINS HERE**

Shap hears the advancing footsteps and tries the office's one door, trying to break it down. "No luck!" he says. "This thing needs explosives! Where's Jammer when we need him?" "Back at the hotel upgrading the truck," Boris calmly answers, aiming his bazooka at the door. "Stand back." Shap and everyone else does so and Boris fires, knocking the door down and on top of the first rank of advancing security guards. "There they are!" one shouts as the guards see the office. "And they killed the boss!! Get 'em!!" The guards and the good guys get into a huge gunfight, the Ravens diving for cover behind the office furniture as the guards shoot at them. From his sniper post behind Marsh's desk, Doug turns to make another CR post.

**PAUSE RP**

Just a quick bit, hopefully one that will encourage Traveler to post again soon. And make some replies, of course.

Coyote: You're welcome about the sympathies. As for Demolition, thanks for letting me use his power. The clan is going to be in trouble with it. BTW, I was thinking about the upgraded gang (they'll first be seen in "Goblins" and "Blind Date," they're not the friends of Jadriel he'll have in "Dragons' Wrath" or whatever I'll call it) and remembered that there's one member who's always playing loud rap on a boombox. Could I please give him Flea's sister's (forgot her name) powers? Just think it'd be appropriate for this noise polluter. Thanks if yes, will understand if no. Next topic.

Robby: It's okay. Sometimes I'm not very good at taking jokes when I hear them. I hope you're right about your words increasing interest instead of decreasing it. I still have yet to get any feedback on "Vengeance."

Dumlao: Hey, cool pic of you. Sorry I didn't notice it earlier. The first is still my favorite, but this one makes you look real nice, too. :)

Wilek: $ There are in fact four different sites for Area 51, you just destroyed the first. Area 51-A is a whole different installation (please let Kitainia and I handle it, we have some plans). So the bad guys still have Site 2, 3, and 4. Feel free to destroy any of them if you like. But watch out, I hear 4 will soon be infested with dangerous alien life forms (other plans Kit and I will soon enact. Muahahaha!!) $

Traveler: Good to see you back, thanks for the great posting. So you're a Republican, eh? We'd never have guessed! Also, good return to the RP. I wonder what you have planned for your character the next time we see you. :) Oh, don't forget. You still owe me feedback on "The Blackout," "End to the Rage," and "Brooklyn at Camelot." And that's just the ones you said you would send me feedback on. Until I get it, I will keep pestering you. <grin> I really enjoy reading and responding to your long critiques of my fics.

Okay, that's all for now. Kit and I have to get ready for our triple feature outing. We overslept this morning because of how late we stayed up last night celebrating Spring Break in our own way <grin>, so now we have even less time to get to the theater and watch the flicks. Will review them when we get back. Later!

**RP AGAIN**

Doug takes out the security man who spoke, then fires again, trying to get the rest. In the process he notices a button on the underside of Marsh's desk that says "in case of dire emergency- push me." He wonders if he should do so, then shrugs and does. Instantly the bookcase in the back of the room slides open, revealing an escape stairway to the roof. A huge robot that kinda resembles Victor from the DarkStalkers games stands in the doorway. It raises its arm cannons and begins shooting at the security guards. The guards dive aside, amazed one of Marsh's ultimate security toys is attacking THEM. The Ravens take the opportunity to dash up the stairway. "Let's get that Traveler guy," Shauna says as they rush for the door at the stairway's top. Behind the door, Traveler can still be heard laughing. So can the sound of a helicopter engine starting up. The screen fades out, to be continued.

**END THIS BIT OF RP**

Hey all, just a quick note just for the sake of putting something up... I'm going out to all the toy stores today in seacrh of a Bronx stuff animal that actually growls. I saw a pic of it so at least I know what I'm looking for! It's so damn hard to find Garg toys...and this isn't something that comes by often so wish me luck everyone, I'm bound to find it!

Graeme> I pronounce it "GrAY-m". Actually, I never say it out loud, but that's how I think it.

Jewel> ["I said once before I am the Great Anti-ROmantic."] Yeah, now watch you meet some guy and do a 180-degree spin on that POV. Love's funny that way.

Traveler> ["...as you can probally already tell from the preceiding RP post which is longer than some stories in the FanFic archive..."] Longer than mine. :-)

Mandi> SG-1 SEASON FINALE?!?!?!?!?! WHAT?!?!?! WE'VE BEEN GETTING RERUNS SINCE CHRISTMAS!!!! That's it: I'm breaking my vow and reading the synopsi of the episodes at SG-1.net. Grrr....

**A hologram of RL Mandi slowly fades in. When it finally comes up, we see Mandi sitting at her Mom's 486, pounding on the monitor. She looks up, realizes she's in, and speaks.**

Yeesh. No offense, Coyote, but after my comp at school with a Pentium processor and a network connection, this sucker is SLOW! Since the room is so full, I really haven't scanned the posts this time. It takes too long on this machine.

Rayvn> Oh, no! It's probably too late for you to read this, but that's awful! I hope everything clears up soon.

Update on the root canal> That does it, I'm changing dentists. I went to the specialist today, and guess what the problem is? My one filling ever has had a crack in it, which means the nerve beneath is dead and decay was forming. I pestered my regular dentist about this a year ago when this tooth was bothering me, and he said he didn't see anything! Arrgh!! Anyway, the specialist knew what the heck he was doing; he did the first half--cleaning the sucker out and putting a temp filling in there for when I get the actual work done at the end of the week. It's not even bothering me this morning, but Mom and I have both decided to change dentists now.

Just saw the Stargate: SG-1 season finale last night. I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it, but this cliffhanger is even WORSE than last year's! How could they leave us hanging when (censored) showed up and threatened (censored) with (censored)?? (Hey, I said I wasn't going to spoil it.)

Fanfic stuff> Just a note that my fics are going to be slowed. I wrote and posted my first finished Buffy fic--a short crossover with another show that I won't divulge or I'll get shot--and now I've actually gotten a LOT of sequel requests. So now I have a couple of creativity demons in the form of Faith and Buffy tormenting me.

A last request before I hit Submit and pray this posts. Anyone who's going to G99 and planning to leave from the BWI airport, please mail me ASAP! Mom is still sticking to the ultimatum that I catch a flight with someone I met last year at G98! (If I know you online, I'll fib and say I met you at the con.) I've got to admit, I'm excited about the con this year, but I miss last year's ride board big time...

Anyway, must be going. Dave's picking me up to go see Wing Commander, and I haven't even made my bed or found my shoes yet. And yes, I've finally stopped linking Bob Kiwi until I get an answer from Jen about its progress. :)

**The hologram begins another slow fadeout. Mandi gets impatient, pounding on the monitor. "Come ON already! Come on!" There is a sudden sizzle-pop, and the image blips out. The audio is still working.**

Traveler: <g> Yup. It's on a tee-shirt. We have lots of fun tee-shirts here at Bryn Mawr. My personal favorite (but I didn't get it at the time they were selling it, because I was a stupid-head) was "Ain't no bitch like a Bryn Mawr bitch." (*Long* story as to how that one came into being...Let's just say it involves Hell Week, Pem East Whore Corps, and Cam the Head of Dining Services/Pimp Daddy.)

Fire Storm; Yup. That was the one. I was watching it on MTV and just cringed.

HI all
Wing Commander> one word sucks! Sorry plot holes big enough to drive a star destroyer through as well as some bad acting made this movie flop. S E was ok, with some really nice dogfights, but I can watch B5 for that. I enjoyed watching my friend play the game more than that movie. Good news Star Wars Trailer rocked !!!!!!

Parents> Look at what the media is feeding parents yall. According to the news the net is full of ax welding cannibal maniacs just waiting to lure their children into there dens of despair. While it is not as bad as the news makes it; it dose happen! Heck Dee Snider is doing a movie just on that line. Thats the problem with the info age you can get info or personal with out meeting. I mean I could be an ax welding cannibal maniac or a twelve year old girl. How do you Tell. So dont be to hard on parents over acting. The best thing to do though is talk to your parents/child. Oh great now we are going to see more talk to you children commercials, Gads I just posted one AAAHHHHHHHH

****REALLY TWISTED TIME TRAVEL RP BEGINS HERE. ALSO KNOWN AS: TRAVELER AND JADEN'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE.>:]****

TIME: 2:00am somewhere in the 1960's (I think, don't shoot me if I got decade wrong.)

*a blinding flash of light is seen for a split second before disapering, and leaving in it's place a smoking DMC. The doors open and Traveler and the werewolf Jaden get out.* Traveler: Well Jaden, we're here. Jaden*looks around*: Traveler...just were and when is "here"? It looks like a construction site in the middle of nowhere....Although that mountion looks familiar... Traveler: It should my hairy friend, you see this the construction site for what will become NORAD. Now would you mind giving me a hand with these? *reaches into the back seat and removes two cyclindrical objects, each about the size of an overgrown golf bag.* Jaden: Sure. If you tell me what we're doing here. *they each take one and begin the long walk into the mountian.* Traveler: Well, all right. We're leaving a "little" present or two, for Thailog's forces once they take control fo NORAD in....well...from our point of reference, the future. Jaden: What?! Thailogs going to take over NORAD!!! Wait a minute...how do YOU know about this? Traveler: Let's just say I have an unwitting inside source on the matter. *hehehehehee* Ah...helping design the original Borg, and as a result leaving a few "choice" commands hard wired into their collective and drones... but enough about that. Jaden: I'm going to try and forget for the moment that you basicly just admited to creating one of the most destructive, evil forces in the universe....and ask you about these surprises, namely....what's in the cases? Traveler: Oh, I never said I creatd them, just...gave the origional R&D a little...help.>:) As for what's in the cases, well I can't just go and ruin the whole surprise now can I? But I tell ya what. Pick one case and I'll tell you what's in it. Jaden: Well, *thinks for a moment deciding* how about mine. Traveler: Ok, but you're going to have to put it down first. Jaden*put it down*: Ok but why? Traveler: Becauseyou'recarringtheonewiththethermial-nuclearwarheadinitandIdidn'twantyoutodropitoutofshockwhenItoldyou. That's why. *Jaden tries to decipher the blur of what Traveler said; he does, then promptly almost faints.* Jaden: You mean I've been luging armaggedden in a box over my shoulder?! Traveler: Yep, and don't complain to me about it, that's the one you picked up back at the car. Now let's finish up here. We've got some more stuff to do before we go "BACK...TO THE FUTURE!!!". [They finaly arrive to the location deep inside the mountian.] Traveler: Ok, now just put them right here, standing up in this depression in the wall. Jaden: But won't somebody see them and have them removed? Traveler: All ready have that taken care of. Just stamp them "TOP SECRET" and even the generals will stay away from them. Anything you want to write on the bomb? *Jaden writes "TO: Thailog FROM: Jaden + Traveler ENJOY!!!" on the side of the nuke. Traveler sniggers, then writes "DO NOT OPEN UNTIL MARCH 1999>:)" on the side of the other package, then presses some commands into a hidden key pad on the thing.* Jaden: Tell me, just what is that thing? Traveler: Can't, that would ruin the surprise. Besides we gota go. *opens a portal and they both step through...appearing a moment later beside the DMC.* Jaden hey wait a minute... why did we drag those to cases all the way in there when you could have just opend one of your portals? Traveler: Well, I wanted to strech my legs abit, and some types of nukes and ustable energy vortexes don't mix very well...heh,heh...found that one out the hard way...my armor was glowing green like a nite-lite for weeks.

****END OF THE BEGINNING OFF THE INSANELY TWISTED TIME TRAVEL RP.****

Well, as you can probally already tell from the preceiding RP post which is longer than some stories in the FanFic archive.....TRAVELER'S BACK!!!!!! WWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! Sorry I haven't posted lately, but things have been, and continue to be busy at my end. I have been checking the room regulary, I just haven't had the time for a "regular length post", so I do know generaly what's going on. AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR THE SHOW!!!

*****A five asterix salute and a few lines of silence for the master, Stanley Kubrick.*****

>Stanley Kubrick- How I feel about this: +()#&$R)*(@#^R*(#%$JNFD@#%&*!$#&*@&*##FOIR(&*^YQWEUIJR()*@$U_()#%HE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *composes himself* The master is dead. In honor of his memory and all that he has given and left us, I will BURN ALL THAT IS HOLLYWOOD TO THE GROUND!!!!! DO YOU HEAR ME???!!!! IT SHALL BE HIS FUNERAL PYRE!!!!! I WILL LEAVE BEHIND NOTHING BUT DIEING EMBERS AND THE SMOLDERING REMAINS OF STUDIO EXECUTIVES!!!!!!!!

>DumlaoX- (Refering to the first picture you put up)- Kick ass shades man. BTW, welcome to the RP...*insert manical laughter here*

>Wing Commander- I'm going to see it anyway, but as for the Kilrathi....I've seen pictures on the internet....Does the phrase "giant shaved cat" mean anything to you?

>Ted Turner- He canceled SWAT KATS (the animation quality of the second season alone was reason enough to watch), and is responsible for the travisty known as "Captian Planet". *shivers from just having to type that name.* He shall be used as kindling.

****WARNING SEMI-DISCUSSION RANT****
>Humanity- Scientists agree, you're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't. So let's all get drunk and play ping pong. Seriously though, (well...the first part is serious, but this next part is a little more in-depth) we are the bast&#d children of creation. Not animal or divine (however you chose to classify that; as your soul/spirit/pure thought etc...). Constantly at war with ourselves and each other because we can't figure out where we belong or what we should do with ourselves. We have the power to alter the world around us, and we're literaly getting better at it every day through the accumilation(sp?) of knowledge. Knowledge seems to be the only thing that really lasts since our lives are so compareativaly(sp?) short, so it is this pursuit we have universally thrown ourselves into. Perhaps our reasoning for this is because we seek to find a purpose to/for our existance. Surely there must be more than THIS to life. To find some purpose, some cause to devote our time and posibbily lives to, so that they will have some meaning besides: you're born, getup go to school, getup go to work, you die. As for the "Sanctity of Life" ideas that were floating around with this debate I direct you to a few select quotes form comedian/social comentator George Carlin: "Life is sacred? Who said so? God? If you read history you realize that God is one of the leading causes of death! Has been for thousands of years!" "I mean, even if their were such a thing, I don't it's something you can blame on God. No, you know were the sanctity of life came from? We made it up. You know why? Cause we're alive! Self-interest, living people have a strong interest in promoting the idea that somehow life is sacred!" "Well let me ask you this: If everything that ever lived is dead, and everything that is alive is going to die, where does the sacred part come it?!!" "Misquitios and flys' 'cause their pests, Lions and tigers...because it's fun! Chickens and pigs...'cause we're hungry! Phesants and quails...because it's fun, and we're hungary!!! And people, we kill people...because their pests. And it's FUN!!! ... So at best, the sanctity of life is kind of a selective thing, we get to choose which forms of life are sacred and we get to kill the rest. Pretty neat deal... Ya know how we got it? We made the whole *&$#$@ thing up!!!". For more hilarious words of wisdom from the same CD I recommend George Carlin: Back in town. Green Barron: for the record I am a registered republican, but Carlin is just so da7m funny.

>Robby- <<COMING THIS THURSDAY ON TIMEDANCER...
"...We need to hunt..." [Robby Monday, March 1, 1999 12:59:02 AM]>> Ummm....Something tells me you were talking about a difrent episode...mind telling us which one? *hehehehee*

Odd note: As I write this I'm watching "Better Off Dead" on TBS's Dinner and a Movie. If you have'nt seen this in awhile, rent it for a good laugh.

>Steve Gooch- Actually I remember seeing test footage of a USSR built 200Megaton bomb (interesting side note: the bomb design was scaled down from 400megatons) that they blew it somewhere in the arctic circle...

>Mary Flanders- (Awhile back you mentioned an atrocity carried out by some local high school teens...Kitainia mentioned that I could probably think up a good tourture for them, so here it is...courtsity of George Carlin. (I can't help it, this is a good one.) All right: Dip them in brown gravy and lock them in a small, dark room with a few rabid wolverines high on angel dust. Let your imagination take what happens from there... *hehehehehehe*

>JEB- Glad you decided to stay on your own terms. Hmmm...Now that I think of it, ever notice how often I post? That's what I do!!!

****WARNING: POSIBLE SPOLIERS FOR THE LAST EPISODE OF GARGOYLES/PENDRAGON. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!****

OK, thiis was a very good episode, had alot of threads packed into it. As for Demona and the spell... (*Traveler poofs in about 4 inches tall on Demona's shoulder* Traveler: Well...What are you waiting for?!!! Cast the spell!!! Save the world!!! So what if a few thousand die? How many people can actually say they took part in genocide? Let alone did it single handedly!!! 'Common, both of the Fey courts have caused more than enough damage to both Human and Gargoyle races to warint this... Did you know that a Civil War they had about 12,000 years ago is the main reason their are so few Gargoyles today? Just say "Screw'em all!!! They've caused enough pain and misery!!!", and cast the spell. Your daughter will hate you for this, but at least she'll be alive and free to hate you... *poofs out* Demona: What the HELL was that?)

****END OF POSSIBLE SPOLIERS.****

>Cyrway- EGADDS!!! SHE'S BACK!!! ALL HAIL THE ALMIGHTY MISTRESS OF THE WEB AND KEEPER OF THE MULTIVERSE!!!! Heh, heh, heh, sorry, haven't heard from you in awhile. Six fanfics ITP you say... that's something to look forward to... DW is one of your champions'?!!! But then that means... *BWAAAHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAhehehheheehheehehhe*

>Stormy- Does Wagner know he's linked to DW? Glad I'm not the one who has to tell him.>:)) Whitbourne's working on a new fic? That picture...uh-oh does Brooklyn have another "nephew" that nobody knows about?>:))

>Another odd note- Anybody else in here listen or even hear of a Canadian band called "The Tea Party"? I've known/listened to these guys since about 2 years ago. Never thought to mention it in here though... There still a small band but if you can find one of their CD's get it.

>Fleur- You have asthma to? I have a very mild case of it, doesn't act up very often though.

>Coyote the Bando- My condolences toward you and Rayvn. Question for your Gargoyles: Clan Manhatten series. When the Rokkans arrived, were they in a small self-contained fleet that had traveled for a long time to reach Earth, or do they have something akin to "Warp speed Mr. Scott"? Because if the latter is true then I could easily see how they could run out of troops if it would take something like 20-40 years to get reinforcements even with light speed travel. BTW, really liked "Liberty or Death". I'm hoping Thorn was flattened along with the troops. Interesting that we didn't see hide nor hair of Sampson though...

>Gabriel- I believe you requested a Mr. Disconnect death? Hmmm... How about we strip him naked, stake him down next to a 3 foot high fire ant colony, and smear him with maple syrup, and let the ants do the rest while we sit back in some lounge chairs casually sipping our drinks while listening to him scream as the ants devour him piece by little piece? (You know this is my first Mr. Disconnect death, how'd I do?)

>Ravyn- NNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Who will use purple if you're not posting here?>:( (Green Baron's only using it for Lent.)

>Socrates- "I drank what?"

>Wilek Nereus- Oh good Lord, the Phalanx and the dark god Dahak???!!! *can barely be heard muttering to himeself* This is starting to feel like a family reunion or an episode of This is Your Life....

>Jewel- Are you all better yet? That cold/flu sounded quite nasty. As for your Mr. Disconnect death...let me just say I join all the other males in this room by saying: OUCH!!!!!>:) (And is that really on a tee-shirt?)

>Godzilla- That's a nice pic of you, have any of you swatting down some jets?>:))

>NOSTRADAMUS'S PREDICTIONS- "Mabus" huh? Sounds like I'll have to change my name...>:]

>Doug and Kitainia- Doug, I ramble? Naw.....*hehehheehehe* Thanks you two for pestering me to post again soon, it's nice to know that my presence livens up the room a little bit.:) (Yes that's a similey face, and take a good look because I don't use them very often.>:) See?>:))

>Sevarius Jr- Soon all of the light-bulbs of the word shall be free!!!!! <> Alright, now I know for sure that James Cameron smokes crack.

>Celano- <<Hey, they're free. They'll want permission, so lie about your age. Hey, lie about your name. Make stuff up. It's not like they actually check.>> HA! HA! HA! HA!, Hotmail thinks my first name is Darth and my last is Vader!!!!! *hahahahahhahahahehehehehehe*

****REGULAR TIME FRAME RP ACTION COMIN' AT YA!!!****

Previously on the Wild World of Sports: <<Code Red, repeat, Code Red." The alarms continue to blare. "Oh, great," Doug sighs. "We're in trouble," says Kitainia. The screen chooses this moment to go blank.>> Stephanie*Walks over to the Xanatos esque security system in the wall of Marshe's office*: Hey, maybe we can use this to help get us out of here...find the path of least resistence, you know? Doug*walks over to take a look*: Good idea Steph, hey!!! Wha the hell?!! Kitainia take a look at the roof camera, is that? Kitainia: TRAVELER!!! Doug: Yea I thought so, but what's he doing on the roof....in a lounge chair infront of wath loos like a...movie screen??? Hmmm...their's an audio button on this screen... let's see if we can pick anything up... *through the speakers, what coulds only be described as Traveler's belly laughing can be heard, along with "MOE!!! LARRY!!! THE CHEESE!!!!!!! WOO!!! WOO!!!! WOO!!!!!"....* Kitainia*groans, slaps hand to head in a "I should have known gesture*: The Three Stooges, why did it have to be the The Three Stooges? Jaden: So that's what he meant by "The Boys"... Doug: Well, we've got to get to the roof. First to confront Traveler, Second....I remember that short he's watching, I want to see the rest of it!!! Screen fades out just as Marsh security's footsteps can be heard fast approaching in the outer hall...

*Kyryn looks in real quick*

Well, the drive up was interesting. Robby, if you heard about the tornado around Knippa, I was about five minutes ahead of it and drove through the hailstorm (fortunately no real damage to the car!). I heard about it, realized it was probably following behind me (que weird music), and kept heading east for San Antonio. The weirdness magnet strikes again!

Fav Disney Characters other than Gargs> I have to say that I really liked the Darkwing Duck characters, esp. the villians Megavolt and Negaduck. I also liked Don Carnage and Shere Khan from Tailspin. Okami can do Don Carnage's voice. - scary - must be a wolf thing.

Later all. I'm off to get some sleep.

Thaddeus Klang? I can't say I remember him...

Ravyn> Well... jeez. I don't know what to say. Except that this really stinks. In fact, it's a downright outrage. The erasing of e-mail is definitely a step too far. But I have full confidence you'll be back with us soon enough. Just remember we're all rooting for you here.

Coyote> I know that I've already said this in IM, and the others have already said this here- but remember that we're your friend, and we're here for you too.

Thanks for reminding me; I also forgot Aladdin! Favorite character (not counting the movies) would have to be either Mechanicles or Mozenrath; although Minos would have to be somewhere on the list because of who does his voice. And of course Jafar is incredibly kewl, although I don't think he was in the show at any time...

The Stars won 4 to 0. I personally would have liked to see the Ducks win, but I don't think there was another Duck fan in the whole stadium besides me. The highlight of the night was when one of the boards was knocked down and some lady was practically unconscious. Not a pretty sight.

Ravyn> I am so very sorry. I know you might be getting tired of the mushy sympathies, but we'll always love and welcome you here. Thanks for keeping my hopes up and hurry back soon!

Gargs nightmares- Broadway suddenly wakes up and sounds like Jon Luvitz.

Hudson wakes up and he's in a newsroom, and he looks like Ed Asner. He has a spunky young woman as one of his main employees, een though he hates spunk, and has an incompetent newscaster to deal with.

Duece- Don't do much small, nope. Considering the blasted thing was on LEGAL paper, and looked to be quite a bit longer than anyone else's in the class...

Doug- No ofense taken. Apparently my joking manner didn't come off very joking-like. But the title being the same as one of mine is coincidence, I know, especially since mine ain't been posted yet. Which is why its creepy and disturbing. Besides, perhaps my saying that has raised some interest? I dunno.

Lexy- Diet shakes almost never work. You'd be better off with plain ol' exercise.

Fluer- The hampsters music is the Disney's Robin Hood theme (The one with the animals) sped up, sung badly, and with an evil laugh at the end. Frightenng stuff.

SJ- Megavolt was fun. But did Aladdin's Mechaniclese seem like Megavolt Jr. or was it just me?

Speaking of which, I KNEW I had forgotten some Disney toon or another the other day. Aladdin. My favorite there would possibly be Rasha.

Dumlao- I also liked your other pic better. Don't know why.

**ADVENTURS OF JIM IZA NOYING-The Robot: Part Two**

Jim looks at the robot claiming to be his new mail order butler. "Okay buddy, I'm going to go have fun, you can do all the chores I hate doing."
"Yes sir." The robot grimaces in an evil manner beffiting an evil robot. Jim goes to another part of the submarine, and pulls out his comic collection, which has miraculously survived the two or three dozen destructions of his mansion. SUddenly, one of the robot's drill arms comes through the door, blowing it to pieces. "I lied! I AM here to kill you! Prepare to die!"
Jim doesn't glance up, and replies calmly and nonchalantly. "Hold on a sec."
"Wha..?"
"Let me finish reading this comic book real quick."
"No!"
"Oh come on, if you're going to kill me, at least let me have one last pleasure." The robot pauses and considers.
"All right." He then sits by idly and waits for Jim to finish. Jim glances occasionally at the robot, and then refers back to his "comic" titled "How To Handle Robots Who Invade Your Home And Want To Kill You."
To be continued!

**RP!**

[Five Marauder-class corvettes are seen launching from the Avatar of Ganon, and engaging their chameleon shrouds before jumping to hyperspace. The Marauder class is the Star Wars tech equivalent of the Star Trek Defiant class, and a chameleon shroud is a lower-power version of the cloaking device. Forfexx: "Ooh, I wish I could be there for the merry havoc the Administrator's new toys will be kicking up..." Wilek: "Don't worry, Forfexx, we'll get our turn..." Note to other rp'ers: They won't be attacking right away. That would be too simple...]

**PAUSE RP!**

$Kitainia> Wasn't Area 51 blown up?$

Preacher Movie> A direct translation of the comic to a movie would probably get the film banned in a few hundred countries; I'm amazed they're trying it. Of course, they'll probably alter certain aspects of the plot...

Favorite characters from old Disney shows> Hm...Probably Darkwing Duck would qualify, partly because of his wardrobe (which was a major inspiration for Forfexx's). I also liked Thaddeus Klang, a TaleSpin villain who unfortunately only starred in one (two-part) episode when he deserved SO much more. He was easily the show's kewlest character. Oh, and I have to agree with Robby's verdict of Magica DeSpell being DuckTales' best character. Why she wasn't in the movie instead of that other guy is anyone's guess.

Steve> <<You found MMX2&3 as ROMs? I thought the special chips in those games made then unprogrammable for emulator use.>> Well, my emulator can, I think, support both SuperFX and DSP, so it shouldn't be a problem. One ROM site I found MMX2&3 on didn't support download resuming though, so Mr. Disconnect decided to take advantage of that. I found them on another site, but I couldn't download them because BOTH links were broken. Dangit. If anyone here has either ROM, I think my mail account could probably accept it...

The Star Wars Trailer> I decided to download the 25 MB Quicktime version...and boy did it pay off. This movie is going to ROCK!

Ravyn> I've said it before...I'm so sorry to see you go...<snif> Hope you come back soon, my friend. <hugz again>

Coyote> Liberty Or Death was GREAT! Of course, I've come to expect that from your stuff. ^_^ And my condolences; I'm sure you'll miss Ravyn even more than the rest of us, if such a thing is possible...

Wing Commander movie> Looks interesting, but I'll probably end up not seeing it because...well, the ships are incredibly ugly. Not just in the movie, either; the cartoon and the games had the same problem. Give me TIEs any day. :)

Jewel> <> I have serious leanings in that direction myself. There's nothing wrong with two characters having a relationship in a story, but if it distracts AT ALL from the main plot--or even worse, gets its own subplot--it gets old, FAST.

**RESUME RP!**

[At the enemy base, Thailog and his mysterious new ally are sitting around the conference table with the rest of the enemy leaders. Zale: "So you want to upgrade our weapons systems with magic?" Kharsus: "I thought *I* was the resident magic user." Stranger: "Fool. I am of the Third Race; the feeble magic of mortals is no match for mine." Thailog: "I think we should take him up on his proposal; we have no other Fey on our side. All in favor?" Guod: "Wait. Before we go into this, I for one want to know exactly who this is." Stranger: "Fair enough. Have any of you ever heard of the Temple Of Darkness Ascending?" Galante: "Those heathens who pass out pamphlets at airports alongside the Moonies and the rest of the pagan crackpots? Ugh, don't tell me you're one of *those* idiots." Stranger: "Heh...To reinterpret a phrase from your own popular culture, 'I'm not just a client, I'm also the president'. In other words..." Galante: "Eh? I'm not sure--wait...no...this cannot be...he is nothing more than a pagan myth!" Stranger: "Your church said that about Anubis, too, once. And look how that turned out. I, ladies and gentlemen...am the dark god Dahak."
Note: He isn't the one from Xena; that's a completely different mythos.]

Cute Couples: I just can't escape PDA anywhere, can I? (I said once before I am the Great Anti-ROmantic. But I do wish all y'all the best)

Doug * Kitainia: <g> Oh, you're welcome for the inspiration. heh heh heh...

Dumlao: Maybe I'm weird, but I kinda liked the other pic of you better...

Preacher movie: I just don't see the appeal of Ben Affleck. I just don't. Samuel Jackson will kick serious butt as the Saint of Killers, and I really hope they get him. And as for Cameron Diaz, am I the *only* person in the world who is sick of this woman?

***WARNING! Dis Connect Death!!*****
Jewel: <Grabs Dis Connect by throat> "Tonight, you went too far. You cut me out of AIM and then made my computer randomly reboot. Twice! In a row! And I know that you're responsible for my computer *randomly* losing its Ethernet connection."
Dis Connect: "heh...well, it's my job...can't a guy take a little pleasure in his work?"
Jewel: <lets go of Dis Connect and smiles> Yeah. I suppose. So I'll let you live. But...but I can't let you get away with crossing a Mawrter now, can I?"
Dis Connect: Pfft. You can't do anything that hasn't been done already. Just kill me and get it over with quick.
Jewel: <still smiling> *Kill* you? For doing your job? Oh, no, no, no. That would hardly be fair now, would it? <pulls out Swiss Army Knife> There's a *reason* why, a few years ago, someone in the New Yorker referred to all us Mawrters as 'Castrating Bitches.' We even have it on a T-shirt.
Dis Connect: <eyes widen in terror> No...no, you wouldn't!
Jewel: <very wide, sweet smile> "114 years of Castrating Bitches. I think it's time I live up to that, doncha think?"
Dis Connect backs away slowly but soon finds himself against a wall. Screams are heard.

***End Dis Connect...dismemberment***

There. I feel better.

Hi all!

Star Wars Trailer> I, too, thought it was good, especially the robot warriors the bad guys had. I saw the trailer, BTW, when I went to see Wing Commander earlier this afternoon.

Wing Commander> Looks like I'm the first one here to see this movie and comment about it.

In general, I thought this was a good movie (it takes a lot to really impress me, so this would probably mean 'really good' to most of you).

It generally followed the WC universe pretty well (I own and have played the first two games in the series, as well as read several of the novels). Some of the differences between game and movie were in ship design for both sides, as well as a somewhat different look for the alien baddies, the Kilrathi. But otherwise, it's fairly faithful to the game universe.

The plot was rather straightforward, but there were some great dogfight scenes (complete with excellent special effects). And the characters are played pretty well (i.e., the acting's not too bad for this sort of movie).

In conclusion, I think it's well worth seeing if you're looking for an action film with plenty of stuff getting blown up, or if you're a fan of the WC game system/universe.

Camcorders: HOW many people are bringing camcorders?
I know P-Fay probally is, I am...

Lawrence Stone: Did you see the news about a month ago? A local Detroit news report (I am pretty sure it was on CNN) told of a local Wicca who was suspended beacuse she wore a pentagram, a symbol that she considered part of her religious beliefs.
Apparently, the school banned several symbols that were part of gangs, and that was one of them. She complained that her freedom of religion was being violated.
Not quite sure the outcome of that. Coyote or any other Michiganders, any idea?

Spiderman: Jim CARREY?!? Oh, please say it ain't so!
Was there ever a MASK 2 movie?

**RP HERE**

The party looks at each other after Fleur has vanished. "Oh my gosh!" Kitainia screams, turning to the bikers. "Where'd she go?" "I don't know," Cobra tells her. Fauline and Tommy also shake their heads in unknowing. "Maybe we should have used the stairs." "Too late now," Doug says as the elevator starts moving again. "We'll have to go deal with Marsh. Fleur's very capable, I'm sure she can take care of herself." "Right," Kitainia sighs, still looking very worried. Doug says a few words to calm her and then as the elevator keeps going up turns to make a CR post.

**PAUSE RP**

Well, Spring Break began today. So far it's been okay. Kit and I had to postpone our triple celebration feature till tomorrow, because a professor kept us overtime (we were planning to just turn in our papers to him and be gone, avoid the boring Darwin lecture we already knew, but then he required us to turn them in at the END of class). Oh well, more time to see the films tomorrow anyway. Reviews will be posted then. Instead of seeing movies today, we visited the Austin Rodeo's carnival and had a lot of fun. :)

SOROW: Not gonna sign up for Clan Feud myself, I'm terrible at trivia games. And as for Graeme, I pronounce it like Wilek does.

Robby: Thanks for doing more of Jim's adventures. And as for my latest fic's title, would you mind please not telling everyone who reads the CR if something about it disturbs you? That could damage readers' motivation to go take a look at it! I swear to you, pal, the fact that my latest fic and your second have the same title is pure coincidence. The plots of them are completely differrent, one is a crossover and the other isn't, etc, etc, etc. You know that I was originally going to call the fic False Vengeance and then I changed my mind because I couldn't see how the False part fit with the fic. There is nothing to be disturbed about, this is coincidence and nothing more. Sorry if I offended you, this had to be said. And will those of you who have read the fic and given it such high ratings PLEASE send me an e-mail telling me why? Thank you.

Jackal: Good to know you're doing okay. Hope to soon see you again in the CR and enjoy the benefits of your insane mind. <grin>

SJ: Never heard of Shining Force before now, don't know. As for the Corruptor, our local critic gave it a bad rap. Like we care. Tomorrow, we shall see it! :)

Wilek: Yeah, that would make a great episode, I wonder if the two Graemes ever did meet one another. I also agree with you about Traveler. And as for Kitainia eating bear, well, she did spend one summer on the road a few years back. She and the bikers she was travelling with killed and ate lots of interesting things. Bear, puma, buzzard, cactus, snake, owl, mustang, jackrabbit, and even coyote once. She informs me that it was all suprisingly tasty, especially the way that the bikers Cobra and Anne prepared it. She still has the recipes, too. I wonder if she'll ever make one of these dishes for me. :)

**BEGIN LIBERTY OR DEATH SPOILERS**

Coyote: Great job on your latest fic. I liked every bit of it. Especially the fight between Rosanna and Demona and the part where Graeme killed Liberty's ex. Cool ending, too. I know Demona didn't die in the UN explosion, but I also hope Thorn is still alive. Kitainia wants a piece of her in WCC, and she's a cool villainess. Also, whatever happened to Samson after he ran away from Thorn like that? Just curious, really want to know.

About Ravyn: Don't worry, Coyote, I'm sure that if she loves you anywhere near as much as you love her (I'm guessing you love her a lot, skipped over the private post you had), she will come back to you. I know what y'all mean to each other and in this situation as in mine and Kitainia's, no jerk parents should be able to destroy that. Kit and I will be praying for you both, and hoping that you keep in touch and are soon reunited. Good luck to both of you, no matter what happens you are both still our treasured friends. Stay strong, you two. Stay together. Until then, we'll miss one of you in the CR and both of you in the RP.

One last thing: Been meaning to ask you something, Coyote. You know that comic series you wrote a long time ago (can't remember the title) with the Flea and that stereo-lady and all that? Well, I really liked a villain in it named Demolition and regretted that you didn't really ever do much with him. If I could have your permission, I'd like to incorporate that guy into my fanfic saga. Jade is going to have Landon and Smythe upgrade his gang members real soon- one will become like Sameer was, one an ultra-fast speed demon, another a powerful cyborg, another will have her body perpetually charged with electricity, and so on. I of course wanted to give one of the gang Demolition's nanite extremities. His name will be Trash, and he'll be among the toughest of the upgraded punks. May I please get your okay to do this? Thanks in advance if yes, will understand if no. On to the next topic.

**SPOILERS OVER**

Favorite Disney toons: I agree with Robby about all the cool ones. Except for Duck Tales. Magica's evil was no match for the comic delight of the Beagle Boys!

Fanfic Characters' Worst Nightmares:

Seth- becoming mortal. Of course the last time we saw him he did experience this. Now he can't kick nearly as much ass as before. Oh well, at least he'll be a more interesting character when he comes back into the saga. That's a good thing.

Agony- Laura dying before he does. Yeah, he'd deal with it, he's lost people before. But I think we all know there'd be a lot of hurt and anger in him if it happened. Good thing that now it probably won't.

Rachel- Not sure. Maybe Alex getting so tired of her being able to outdo him at magic so much and trying to magically reverse what Sevarius and Silvan did to her? <shrug>

Sheppard- His worst nightmare has a name- Wodi Cleaver. Wait till "Tests" to find out who this guy is.

Johnny- His worst nightmare will also be personified. Wait to see Havok the symbiote-enhanced gang leader in "Inner Demons." Coming soon from the mind of yours truly.

Nikki- Being found out for what she is, and then having to constantly deal with idiot macho humans trying to slay themselves a dragon. Her other worst nightmare is Jadriel, and in an upcoming but still untitled fic (I was gonna call it "Dragons' Wrath, but that's been taken by a TGS Pendragon ep), Jadriel and friends.

Jadriel- Not sure. I doubt anything could scare this guy. Anything that manages to trick or defeat him is the next time they meet going to make him really pissed. :)

Mackovic- Things going drastically NOT according to his plans. (Yes, this will happen. :)

Del Dawson- Chavez finally coming after him about his non-regulation haircut. Either that or getting kicked off the force.

Laura- Not sure. Maybe being raped again and not being able to do anything about it.

Gary Parker- Trying to get an interview with Jadriel. Or Demona. :)

That's all I can think of for now. If I come up with more, I shall probably post them.

Deuce: Rats, we thought you did something more sinister. <grin>

Ravyn: SJ gave the best comments on your situation, Kit and I completely agree with them. Like we said before, Kit and I will always be your friends and continue to pray for you, hoping you soon resolve the situation. Good luck, and remember, you are always extremely welcome here no matter what happens. I think we love you, too.

Celano: Good advice to Ravyn, but being a hopeful man of integrity, I hope she doesn't have to take it. :)

Christine: Glad a publisher wants to see the other two books. Good luck to you in publishing them. And I continue to hope you get Dark Beauty up soon.

Lexy: Erasing people's e-mail before they can read it is either a federal offense or it should be. I think I'll write a letter to my Congressman about it as soon as I get the time.

James Cameron: Oh yeah, T1 was way better than T2. Better plot, cooler villain, actual love story. IMO, though, T2 did have a lot of good things T2 going for it. The development done on the three main characters, the action sequences, Arnold's great lines, Dyson (I liked the guy a lot, even if he was a supporting character, it was so cool when he died and dropped the bomb), and the really neat T-1000 special effects. Too bad there won't be a third Terminator. Oh well, like Cameron could top the first two, anyway. :)

That's all for now, later!!

**RP AGAIN, NOW FOR THE START OF SOME ACTION**

The elevator comes to a stop and the team gets out, heading for Marsh's office. His secretaries are not at their desks, Fauline expresses worry over the lack of a welcoming commitee. "Yeah," Shauna agrees with her. "It's almost like they're inviting us in." Mist meows in concurrence. "Well, let's find out," Doug says, pointing at the large double doors across from them. "There's Marsh's office." He walks up and throws the doors open, the Ravens step inside. Only then, as the doors slam behind them, do they notice Marsh's dead body slumped over his desk. "Oh my God!" Doug shouts, rushing over and checking for a pulse. "He's been shot, guys. Somebody killed Marsh before we could even talk to him." "Traveler," Boris growls. "I just bet he did this to throw us off his trail." "Or maybe Thailog did it," Kitainia points out. "To keep Marsh from talking." "That's crazy, sis," says Stephanie. "Doesn't Thailog need this guy for financial support?" "Look," Doug interrupts them, "it doesn't matter who killed him. What matters is he's dead. Lathrop, can you do a speak with spirits spell?" "I'll try," the wizard says, taking out his grimoire and flipping through it, "but you know how difficult a spell that is. Not to mention the energy and time it will require, time we may not have." "Time you don't have, fools!" Executive VP Daniel Kilmer's voice suddenly calls out from the room's loudspeaker. As everyone turns toward the voice, the office doors lock shut and the building's security alarms begin blaring. "Attention, all Marsh security employees," Kilmer announces. "The Ravens are in the CEO's office, our beloved leader is in danger. Hurry up there and help him, eliminate the birds. Code Red, repeat, Code Red." The alarms continue to blare. "Oh, great," Doug sighs. "We're in trouble," says Kitainia. The screen chooses this moment to go blank.

Ravyn> Jesus H Christ...Psyco Paranoid Parenting. *shudders as she flashes back* You have my sympathy. Sometimes the nicest thing about your family is to be far away from them.
Well, the only comfort I can give you is like all bad things, this too shall pass.

However, when I comes to advice on circumventing overbearing parent, here's what I recommend, some of which has already been mentioned.

Find an outside source of internet access. Public Library. Public School, both of which are free but might want your parent's permission. I recommend a brilliant forgery. I survived nearly flunking typing this way. They probably don't know what your parent's signature looks like anyway. Coffee houses, Mailbox's and similar estableshment also frequently offer service, but with a charge. But they probably won't care whether your parents know or not. Best of all is a friend with a computer who won't tell. >:)

Once you find a reliable source, aquire an online email account. Hey, they're free. They'll want permission, so lie about your age. Hey, lie about your name. Make stuff up. It's not like they actually check.

Finally come up with several good stories for leaving the house. A likable, loyal, trust-inspiring accomplice will really help. (could be that friend with the comp. Why, I bet there is some lonely fanboy/girl who'd just love to share their comp with you. Believe me, I used to hang with these ppl, being a lonely, computerless fangirl at the time. You might even find out they're a really neat person under all that weirdness.)And don't worry to much about the 'rents. I speak from experience. Despite what those smarmy, smart-alecky family sitcoms would have you believe, the average parent just isn't that aware of their children. They really have verry little idea of what is actually going on in their childrens lives, and they don't really want to know, because it will only upset them. More than they already are.

So do what you want, because hey, what are they gonna do, shoot ya? (Oh boy, I hope you don't have THOSE kind of parents!)

Night All!

No RP tonight. Don't have it in me. Half asleep as it is.

****WARNING: SPOILERS FOR THE CORRUPTOR*****
This was a GREAT movie! I'm in love with the whole "gangster chic" thing (not the mafia--the mafia sucks. But I love Asian gangsters, i.e. Triads / Yakuza). Chow Yun-Fat gives a great performance, showing his great range and abilities. My only complaint is that they pulled a move similar to "The Killer" and killed him off. Mark Wahlberg did alright. He wasn't a detriment to the plot, but being a huge Fat fan, I would have liked to see even more of him on screen. It had some great action scenes, some intense violence, some pretty mature situations (some of those Chinese ladies were quite beautiful but quite naughty), and a good--if a bit convoluted--plot. I liked the supporting characters as well. All in all, on the "SJ Rating system", this gets 4 big honkin' stars. Or a thumbs up, whatever you prefer.
Sad thing is, this movie probably won't make a dime. I predict Wing Commander will be numba 1, even though it got pretty horrible reviews. Never underestimate the power of the Star Wars trailer (which I don't get.....they've already shown it on TV, for FREE, at least 2 dozen times).
******END CORRUPTOR SPOILERS*******

Ravyn: Oh man.....well, words can't express how colossaly DEPRESSED I am. I've said it before, and I'm saying it again right now, I've never met anyone in this room. Don't know if I'll _ever_ meet anyone in this room. But I would gladly call everyone here my friend, and it really saddens and upsets me to see anyone of us go. All I can say is, I hope things get resolved. We were all lucky that Deuce can still accompany us here. Your parents just need to trust you. You're very bright, and a wonderful person, and you're certainly not stupid. You wouldn't get involved in anything wrong or foolish. I can only hope things will turn out for the best. I'll be praying for you, my friend.

Coyote: We're here for you too, my man. You got our support all the way. Whatever you need.

Coldstone: I read a treatment Cameron did a while back for a Spiderman script. His ideas for Spider-man were way outta wack with the standard mythology. I believed he planned to amalgamate Kingpin with Electro, or something like that. Utter foolishness if you ask me. The problem is, no matter how respected or talented Cameron is, he's not the world's best writer (I know, I'm one to talk, me having never produced/directed/written a film before). Plus, Cameron has the habit of making things "his own". That's okay with Terminator, or Aliens, but when you have a property like Spider-man, which has been a pop icon for 30 yrs. now, and has hundreds of issues of comic-book mythology.....I don't like the idea of him screwing around with the concept. Give the film over to someone else, please.

Darkwing: He had a pretty cool rogue's gallery. My fave was Megavolt though, cause he was just so way-over-the-top weird. Anyone remember that episode where Darkwing's worst enemies (Negaduck, Megavolt, Quacker Jack, Liquidator, and Bushroot) teamed up to take on DW and his hero team? (DW, Launchpad, Gizmo Duck, Morgana, Stegmut, that fish woman) THAT was a cool episode!! So was the one where Megavolt and Quacker Jack go into the future, and Darkwing is this psychotic vigilante. Ah Darkwing, next to Gargoyles you were my favorite Disney cartoon!!

**Coyote enters the room ... suitably dishevelled.**

*sigh* All right, I'm sure everyone here is waiting with bated breath to know how I feel about Ravyn's situation. Well this is going to be it. And this will be one for the record books, kids.

First off, please excuse the huge ending of this post, but it will be exclusively addressed to Ravyn, should she by some stroke of luck be able to read it.

Secondly, I would like to take a sabbatical from the RP, if you don't mind, folks. Stephen came up with a pretty good ending to it. Assume that everyone got back home where they belonged.

Thirdly, anyone who is worried about me: I will survive. Like I told someone over IM (I'm doing bad tonight; I can't remember who it was), I'm not the kind of person who attempts suicide at the drop of a hat. I will be hurting, though, for a *long* time. *sigh* Oh well ... that which does not kill us only makes us stronger.

**takes a pause to burn a book of Nietsche.**

There. With that having been said ...

**LONG, LENGTHY, EMOTIONAL MESSAGE TO RAVYN WARNING!!**

Ravyn: **sigh** Well, you asked me not to reply to e-mail since your parents have access and delete the messages. So I'll reply to you here.

**sniffles, tears begin falling** Oh, God, Ravyn, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry if I was the one who got you into trouble. I'm sorry if giving you happiness on a daily basis made your folks suspicious ... heh, that's funny, happiness being suspicious. If I weren't so depressed, I'd be laughing.

I understand completely, Rav. You know that I'm a patient Bando, I've said as much to ya. I understand that your folks have control over you right now. God knows, if it were any different ...

**choked sob**

You know how I told you I'd found my muse? It probably wasn't much of a leap to figure out I was referring to you. And believe me, Rav, you still are my muse. And there isn't anything I would do to change that. You *inspire* me, Rav. My writings, my sanity, my *life!*

**choked sob**

Are you able to get some 'Net access *outside* of your house? Ever considered Web-based mail? Please do ... that way we can at least stay somewhat in touch, and we'll know that we still care about each other. I can handle infrequent mailing, even more infrequent posting ...
why would I stop being patient just because you've been cut off at home?

I would be using emoticons in this, but I can't think of one that says "sobbing, tearful histrionics."

**more tears fall** Please keep me in your heart, Rav. I know I will keep you in mine. I won't forget you, I *can't.* You've been the sweetest thing I've ever known in my entire dreary existence, the one shining light. You are a beacon on my horizon, calling me home.

Just to prove to you that I won't forget ... remember when we traded maps of our towns? I still have the address ... if I can't be there for you electronically, then I'll do it snail-mail style.

**gives in to more sobs, approaches Ravyn finally**

Please come back soon, Rav. I'll wait for you. Really. Though my heart breaks now, I know that when you come back it will heal. You are my missing piece.

**long hugs** Just remember, Rav ... when life gets ya down ... there's someone in Michigan that loves ya dearly.
**longer kiss**

**END LONG, EMOTIONAL REPLY TO RAVYN!!**

*YES, IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN KIDDIES! IT'S A DIS-DEATH!!!!*
Fleur teleports into the CR, looking incredibly angry. Mr Dis spots her and starts backing away. Unfortunately for him, that catches Fleur's attention. Stalking over to him, she grabs him by the throat with one hand, lifting him into the air. She pulls the sword off her laser cannon with the other.
"This is for that MailerDaemon you gave me the other day," she says, and slices his legs off.
"And _this_ is for not letting me get access, and shutting down every computer I touched yesterday," Mr Dis screams as she slices off his arms, a bit at a time, so it hurts more. Then she drops him, and teleports away, leaving him to bleed slowly to death. When he is dead, the Tree pulls his body over to the moat and feeds it to the alligators.
END DIS DEATH.

Hi everyone!

Steve> They caught that SOB? WHOO-HOO!!!

Robby> >A tree as bouncer? I thought thats what the three CR gators were for?< Oh. Um, Robby, you wanna be the guy to tell a ten-foot, mutant tree that it can't be a bouncer? :) (sounds a bit like that joke: Where does a three-hundred pound gorrilla sleep? Anywhere it wants to. :))

Kahreen> Welcome to the CR!

Kitania> I'm getting better. I got a decent night's sleep last night, and man, I've missed that. Pity it always takes sooo much longer to get better than it does to get sick, isn't it?

Robby again> Those hamsters are strangely hypnotic - but then, I couldn't download the music that goes with it, so maybe the full terror-inducing effect was lost on me.
And I saw the StarWars trailer too!! All I can say is: wow. (said in the very quiet voice of the incredibly stunned. :))

Hi Jackal! Welcome back!!

Ravyn> WHAT?! No, say it ain't so.. What are your parents thinking? *starts sniffling*. I'm gonna miss you. *sob* And I'm not going to say goodbye, because we're all going to see you back here again, somehow. Until then, you're in our thoughts. *hugs*

Gabriel> I don't think there's anything you _have_ to do when you kill Mr Dis, although it might be a good idea to put spoilers up, so people who aren't interested can just skip it.

TTFN!

**RP**
The TV in the corner of the CR switches itself on. Fleur, Doug, Kitania and the Ravens are in the elevator of Marsh HQ. So far, nothing has happened. However, when the elevator reaches the fiftieth floor, a red beam shoots out from the corner of the elevator, moving from one person to the next.
"Hey! What's happening?" Kitania shouts as it lands on her.
"It's a scanner!" Cobra yells. Just then, the beam moves onto Fleur. Half a second later, the elevator stops.
"Uh-oh."
A small cuboard beside the elevator doors opens, revealling a television screen, which turns on. It's Marsh.
"Fleur. How lovely to see you." he mocks.
"Well, you know." Fleur shrugs, "I was in the area, so I decided to pop in and say hi."
Marsh continues to talk about the destruction of his Austin HQ, and everyone suddenly realises it is just a recording.
"I like to think I'm a reasonable man.."
"Oh, for crying out loud." Fleur mutters.
"..all I want is to make a lot of money. You and your little friends have been a thorn in my side for too long. Unfortunately, Thailog, Asil and Goud will not let me kill them. You, however, are another matter. Goodbye Fleur."
As the recording finishes speaking, the floor beneath Fleur suddenly opens, and, before anyone has time to react, she falls through, dissappearing into the darkness of the elevator shaft.
*END RP*
$Please don't rescue me anyone. I'd like to get out of this one myself.$

Hi all around,
Lexy: Wow, I like you nightmares, very...mmh...colourful.

Nostradamus: Thanks to all who answered, now its nearly clear what he has said, but does it cross-over with TGS and when yes, who would be Chiren (his saver o'the world)? Not all the prophecies were clear but some were decoded yet and they fited very well, althought the years should be wrong, so I can imagine that something have to happen soon.

DX: Do you know what happened to the quote page? I know it is only short time away, but I haven't read since three weeks anything about it. Do you still plan on it?

Ravyn: I am so sorry for you. I knew these problems and i had a lot discusion with my parents about it. Now I have only four hour hours a week access. It is terrible because you haven't not enough time for nothing, so I really feel with you.

btw, have I anything to do if I want to kill Mr.DC in RP?
Ok, that's all, try to check after I have read the new TD.

I don't know if you'll get this or not, but here goes anyway: I'll miss you. We'll all miss you. "Life gets worse before it gets better, but it DOES get better." I'll be praying for you. Hurry back! *big hug*

Doug/Kitania> ["What is the problem with parents? Don't they ever consider any viewpoint but their own?"] No. 'Tis the way of parents; us poor kids just have to go with it or suffer (and going with it usually means suffering, too).

DumlaoX has put up a request for CR dwellers to make illustrations of scenes from the existing stories. Those will be put up in a gallery on the TGS site, but they will not be used as CR pics.

Y'know, I've been filing away a lot of the stuff I've seen parents do to their kids over the years. I hope that because I see it and remember it, I can use it to make myself a better parent someday. My folks were pretty good. They were a little strict sometimes (what parent isn't), but they always explained their reasons and usually allowed me to give them my point of view (that didn't necessarily mean that I got my way)

SOROW> Thunderstorms AND tornado watches? Oh, just great. *heavy sarcasm* I'm travelling up to Denton this evening with the cat. This does not look fun.

**Ravyn drags herself into the room, not very happy at all.**

Hey, all. There's been a few more silly family problems, and my parents feel that I shouldn't be hanging around the CR anymore. It's stupid that they're doing this because I've made so many new and wonderful friends online, and I guess they're really paranoid about something. So my computer time is *seriously* limited, and they're deleting all my e-mails before I even get to read them. So this may be my last post for a very long time, like maybe until this whole thing blows over or until I move out of the house next year. :(

I really just want to say that you all have been some of the best friends I've ever had and could ever want to have, and that I hope to check in here every once in a while. I hope. So thank you, everyone, for making me feel welcome here and giving me a place to hang out, even if it was only for a short time. I'll be back someday, I hope.

Thanks again for everything. I hope you all can understand, because I certainly don't...

**Ravyn goes around and hugs everyone in the room with tears in her eyes, then comes to Coyote, giving him a longer hug and an even longer kiss.**

I'm so sorry I have to go. I wish I didn't have to. :(
Goodbye. I hope we get to meet again someday. I love all you guys! **sniffle**

USA Today vote, the Daria/Underdog contest seems to be rife with people using voting programs - the votes total over 500,000 (10 times the votes in the other polls).

Star Wars Trailer> Looks very nice indeed, especially the CGI landscapes. Ships aren't particularly inspired though.

Discworld games. There are literally speaking, 4.
The first is an ancient Sinclair Spectrum text adventure based on "The Colour Of Magic"
The Second is vaguely based around "Guards, Guards" but staring Rincewind instead of the City Watch. It's VERY illogical and difficult. Rincewind is voiced by Eric Idle, and will drive you mad declaring "That doesn't work" when you try and use 90% of the items in the game. Several years old (runs in 320*240 res on a PC)
The one currently available is subtitled 'Missing, Presumed..' and is loosely based around the Death books as you once again take control of an Idle-voiced Rincewind who has to get Death back to doing his job. This one is much better all round. The dialogue is much more extensive and less repetetive and the graphics far superior, looking like an animated cartoon.
Neither of these games in my opinion, really captures the feel or humour of Discworld though, relying too much on weak puns and drawn out jokes that aren't that funny. If you want a genuinely funny game get Lucasarts 'Sam and Max Hit the Road'. 'Missing..presumed..' is a good game though.

Lastly a completely original Discworld PC game is in the way later this month (in the UK at least). Discworld Noir has a totally new central character Lewton, the Disc's first P.I. and looks similar to Grim Fandango in that 3D characters are placed in rendered backdrops. Agan it's an adventure game, but more along the lines of a mystery thriller and will be a little darker than the others (as some of the more recent novels have been). Looking very nice at the moment.

Shining Force Fic.. Could be interesting. Must get back and complete SF3 sometime.

WORST NIGHTMARES OF THE GARGS - Personally, I think a goofy but funny one would be Hudson, after all the months of exposure to TV, ends up with a single TV set with only one channel: showing nothing but Barney and Teletubbies episodes twenty-four hours a day.

CARREY AS SPIDEY - Actually, and I might get rotten fruit tossed at me for saying it, but Jim might not be too back of a choice for the Wall-Crawler. After all, one of Spidey's best traits is that of the "taunt" or wise-cracking to throw the bad-guys off guard. And Jim is a top dog with off-the-cuff cracks.

As far as James Cameron ruining the Spidey Franchise, how can you say that when you haven't given the guy a chance? I personally thought several of his movies were garbage when I first heard about them - chiefly "Aliens" (I hated the first one with a passion), "The Abyss", and "Terminator 2" (I think the first one is a classic, and wasn't too keen on the concept of a "good" Terminator). Who knows? He might just surprise a lot of people if they give it over to him.

And, with Bando's blessing...

***** BEGIN RP SEGMENT *****

Creeping forward in the darkness, clothed in special "sneak suits", are several agents under the command of Kyle and Coyote's Ex. Armed to the teeth, the twelve agents silently prep weapons as they get closer and closer to where the sleeping couple lies.

The team leader speaks softly into his comm-link, "Shadow-Leader to Shadow-Boss... targets One and Two are in sight. Proceeding with the operation."

A hiss of static preceeds the reply. "Proceed with caution, Shadow-Leader! Do you see any sign of the third target?"

The twelve attackers slowly fan out, each signaling back with hand signs.

"Negative... no sign of target Three," Shadow-Leader replies. "Can you pick him up with the cameras?"

~ ~ ~

Back in the command center, Kyle is working the controls to the security net, while Coyote's Ex watches impatiently.

"We're not getting that third target on the night-scopes," Kyle grimaces.

"Forget him! Just tell those morons in the cave to get Coyote!" The Ex snaps.

Kyle growls, "Not until I'm sure where that contact is! Switching over to the Motion Sensors..."

~ ~ ~

At that point, the team in the cave has moved to surround the two sleeping figures. At a signal from Shadow-Leader, two move in to grab Coyote, while the rest of the team covers them with automatic rifles at the ready. As the two bend down, their hands go right through Coyote's body as if it was air.

"$#!%! They're holograms!"

Shadow-Leader looks flabberghasted. "They can't be! We're picking them up on infrared!" He pauses for a moment, then signals the rest to take up a defensive stance. "Shadow-Leader to Shadow-Boss! We've got trouble! Coyote and the girl are gone!"

"GONE?!?" the surprised answer comes back. "Where could they have gone to? We've had them under surveliance all this time!"

As the team flips on their laser sights, the need for stealth no longer a priority, Shadow-Leader replies, "Well you must have bugs in your gear! There's no one down here at all!"

Just as he finishes speaking that last word, a double-chain of .50 caliber rounds comes smashing through the center of the attackers, sending several on their way to a better place.

"Dangit! We're under attack here, Kyle! Throw us a bone and tell me where this is coming from!"

~ ~ ~

Back in the control room, Kyle is frantically working the controls, but something is jamming the cameras and the sensor nets.

"I can't tell you where it's coming from! You're in an ambush! Pull back into the next level tunnels, and I think I can get you some help!"

Coyote's Ex is screaming in rage as she kicks a nearby panel. "Where _DID_ they go? How could your security net miss them leaving?"

Kyle growls over his shoulder, "There's no WAY they can get out with out the sensor net detecting them!" He suddenly pauses, a shocked look coming over his face. "Unless..."

"Unless WHAT, Kyle!?"

He turns pale as he suddenly slumps back in his seat. "No... it CAN'T be him?!"

~ ~ ~

Back in the cave, what remains of the original twelve attackers are scrambling to get back to the entrance to the next level's tunnels, firing wildly along the way.

"Kyle!? You there!? We're almost to the tunnels!" Shadow-Leader says, his voice colored with panic. "Whatever you're going to do, you'd better do it quick!"

Just then, the sound of a pair of thick steel doors opening fills the air.

"Shadow-Leader! He's opening one of the access doors!" Shadow-Three reports.

"Go for the opening! We'll seal the door on the other side, and let the auto-defenses do the rest!" With that, the remaining attackers run pell-mell for the open doors.

It's only when they are on the other side that the suddenly stop short on the edge of one half of a retractible bridge! Seeing that they are over the main access tunnel that leads the remaining two miles down, they turn to head back, just as a quick-sealing security door slams shut, closing them off from the way they came.

"Oh, Great! Shadow-Nine, see if you can get the controls that extend the rest of the bridge turned on!"

One of the Shadows finds the control panel, but it doesn't respond. "It's not working!"

Just then, the sound of hydraulics fills the shaft, as the section of the bridge the Shadows are standing on begins to slowly retract beneath their feet into the wall...

~ ~ ~

Elsewhere, in a small auxilary computer room, Kerri closes down the command terminal and smiles in satisfaction. "Hope those boys don't mind being dropped from the payrole like that," she snickers. She then gets up and heads out through the door she jimmied open...

~ ~ ~

At the same time, Coyote's Ex is slamming Kyle up against the command console, enraged.

"What do you mean there's nothing you can DO?!? Coyote's getting away! You HAVE to do something!"

"Against him," Kyle says defeatedly, "there's nothing I can do... not now, not ever!"

Snarling, she jerks Kyle up by his shirt front. "Just WHO is this @$$ that you can't do anything about?"

The sudden sound of a pair of hammers being drawn back cuts across her ranting, like a pin drop breaking a silence. She turns away from Kyle and looks towards the entrance of the room, seeing a tall man in a brown leather "Bomber" standing there, his cold, blue eyes leveled at the two of them, along with the barrels of his twin Desert Eagles.

"I believe he's refering to me... doll," he says calmly.

Dropping Kyle, Coyote's Ex whirls to face the intruder. "Who, are, YOU?!?"

"The last thing this side of Hell that's six-foot-four you're ever going to see."

Two shots ring out...

~ ~ ~

The scene switches to Coyote and Ravyn, both still curled up together, but, as Coyote slowly comes awake, he notices something different.

"Huh?" he says, looking at the interior of what looks like a fast-moving plane.

Ravyn stirs and leans up yawning. "Good morning... did you-?" Her question is cut off as she realizes they aren't in a cave anymore.

Coyote looks around from the cot where they are sitting. "Oh-kay, something's not right here! Last time I checked, we were sealed up in a cave in!"

A voice behind them replies, "You were. But, I decided that your backs would thank you later if you had a softer place to sleep."

Both Coyote and Ravyn turn to face the speaker, seeing the tall man looking at them, a half-smile on his face.

"Well, Dog-Boy, looks like things are looking up for you," the tall man says, giving Ravyn a wink.

Coyote is in utter shock, a fact that doesn't escape the puzzled Ravyn. "Hon? Do you know this guy?"

Nodding numbly, Coyote gets up and walks over to where the tall man is. "I... I never thought I'd run into you again!"

"Thing of it is, Dog-Boy, I done told you once, remember? 'Any time you're in the deep end-'"

"'-I'll always be there to help, if I can.'" Coyote finishes. A smile breaks out over his face. "Geez! It's good to see you again, Jake!"

Hey all,

Wilek > Sorry, can't send you my master quote-list. I must keep *some* of my secrets... bwahahahaha... Actually, I was just informed that the compiler of the list doesn't really want it spread around too much in its entirity. If you're the patient type, I figure it should only take me three to four years to get through them all on here :)

You found MMX2&3 as ROMs? I thought the special chips in those games made then unprogrammable for emulator use.

***Possible spoilers within, just CMA***

Star Wars Trailer > Excellent. Much better than the first. Odd how the first trailer had more to do with young Anakin than anything else, whereas the latest one only showed him for, what, one half-second shot? Oh well, the lightsaber fights look spectacular, the evil army's tanks and droids look cool, and... one word... PALPATINE!! Bwahahahahaha.....

If anybody's interested, I've got it as a pretty good quality mpeg (big, though, ~20 megs).

***All clear***

Robby > No... no.. *NO!* Noooooooooooooooooooooo Not the dancing hamsters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you believe I got a link to that page while searching yahoo for something on the Maya ciilization? Freaked me out.

<Ragnarock- ABove all else, it just SOUNDS cool don't it?> Hells yeah. I named a fic after it... one that I'll *eventually* get around to doing...

Jewel > <it's only 1/4th done and pushing 40 pages, and I had estimated only 60> That's happened to me many a'time. One example: "Yeah, this should be a short story - 125 pages max." Next thing I know, it's 360 pages and bolted together b/c it broke apart two binders. :)

Lexy > <im SO SHY!! I know for a darned fact i will KNOW the answer to almost everything they throw out and ill just sit there!> Don't worry about it! I was the exact same way. In high school I was a co-captain of our Quiz Club, and a lot of the time I would be *pretty* sure I knew the answer to a question, but wouldn't say anything because there were seeds of doubt and I didn't want to look stupid or cost the team points if I was wrong. Of course, on the times that I risked it and got the questions right (especially on this one cable TV program we did), it was an awesome feeling. So go for it!

Ironwolf > <Brought to you by P.E.T.A ( people eating tasty animals)> LOL!! Hmm, gives me an idea for a quote:

'Night all

==If we aren't supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat?==

Extra! just played the Starwars episode one trailer... All I have to say is... Awesome...

SPiderman movie- All I said was Jim Carrey had expressed INTEREST in the role. Never said anything about him getting it or anyone seriously considering him for the role. Also supposedly whats his name from "There's Something About Mary" is also expressing interest. As long as neither one of them gets the part, James Cameron doesn't direct, and they have Stan Lee supervising,it has half a chance of being okay... Wait, none of thats happening. Dang!

Kyryn- I didn't write 47 pages of poetry, the English teacher couldn't possibly expect any group of students, let alone A student to do that. I analyzed that much. BORING stuff. Luckily I killed about 10 pages with an in depth anlayzation of the Raven... I did however have to write several poems, one of which I may share later when it is appropriate...
Also nice to know another B & B fan...

Wilek- This weeks Daria um... Had the embodiments of various holidays come visit, including the embodiments of Saint Patricks day, Valentine's day, and Guy Fox day. Complete with magic and Daria's sister Quinn trying to keep their parents from having another baby. It ended with them going through a magic portal to a high school full of holidays. UGG. It was the strangest, worst, and most unrealistic episode of the series, completley breaking the character of the show. I hated it, despite some good lines.

Talespin- I always loved Kit's flying boomerang board thingie myself.(Dang, I've forgotten what that was called!) Of course, I was about Kit's age when the show first came on... Hey, while on the subject of old Disney toons... Favorite characters from any given show?

Gummi Bears- Gusto Gummie.
Ducktales- Magica DeSpell. She was the coolest one on the show!
Chip and Dale- Either Gadget or Chip.
Talespin- Kit Cloudkicker and Don Carnage. (Jim Cummings just did such a great job with Don!)
Darkwing Duck- Negaduck.
Goof Troop- Max of course.
Bonkers- None of them.
Gargs- Brooklyn.
Timone and Pumbaa- Speedy the snail.
Mighty Ducks- Toss up between Malory, Nosedive, and Duke L'Orange.
Hercules- Hades.

Worst Gargoyle nightmares...
Xanatos- Owen approaches his boss and speaks up. "Um sir... We've been bought out by Disney."

ANyone else- Demona... Taking up ballet...

Pronouncing Graeme- I pronounce it Grah-Mey.

SJ- Gargs/Shining Force? Coolies! I wanna see that written!

Coyote- Those reference pics never copied TO disk for some reason... As such, they were never sent.

No RP tonight ... I'm feeling a bit creatively drained, and you'll see why if you click my name link. Yes, I finally have "Liberty or Death" up. :)

DumlaoX: You're right, that *is* a much better looking picture. And thanks for the well-wishes. :)

Jim Carrey as Spiderman: No. NO. Nonononoonoonononoonoono!

Fire Storm: 'Sall right. Easy mistake to make, no problem, really.

Stephen: **raises bottle of Vernor's** Thanks. **grins and hugs Ravyn yet again!!** $BTW, do what you will with the RP tonight.$

Demona May: Did Robby ever send you that disk with those reference pics? I am still interested in art from ya. :)

"Preacher" movie: Like I said last week, the director attached is Rachel Talalay, whose former work includes "Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare" and "Tank Girl." In order to prevent Preacher from becoming anothe Tank Girl, it is being produced as an independent feature, so that no interference can come from a studio.
Oh yeah ... and according to rumors, Arseface will be in the movie ... complete with subtitles. :)

Rev. Attila: Both of my cats pass along their own moons to you. :)

Worst Nightmares: All I can say about it right now is from the perspective of my fic character Rosanna, who has *lived* both of her worst nightmares: her high school boyfriend died protecting her from a mob, and she witnessed her mother's violent death.

Hamster Dance: Frightening.

Jackal: Nice to see ya 'round these parts again, dude.

Ravyn: Come back soon, sweetie, we miss ya! **hugs**

**RP! DO NOT QUESTION IT, FOR IT'S WAYS ARE ABOVE YOUR WAYS, AND ITS THOUGHTS ARE ABOVE YOUR THOUGHTS.**

[On the Avatar of Ganon...Administrator: "The assimilation is complete, and the fleet is nearly finished docking." Wilek: "Alright. Now here's what we're going to do..."]

**PAUSE RP!**

Robby> <<More midi sites have bitten the dust. And they were some of the best ones too. Dang>> You know, www.vgmusic.com has some of the best stuff I've ever encountered. It's not as well known as some of what you've been linking to...but it should be. <g> <<A tree as bouncer? I thought thats what the three CR gators were for?>> Not as such. The tree keeps ppl from ever getting in. The gators are backup; they eat ppl *after* they get in. I think... <> The REAL question is: What's more terrifying, that someone actually took the time to make it, or that there are probably ppl who enjoy it? $Hm...that robot looks familiar...$

Speaking of TaleSpin...the absolute kewlest thing about that show was the skyship, the Iron Vulture. (I have a thing about skyships. ^_^) And it was a lot more realistic and took itself more seriously than any other pre-Gargs Disney animated series.

What was this ep of Daria about, anyhow? I don't watch MTV...

**EVEN YET INSANELY IMPOSSIBLY MORE SPOILERS FOR THE LONGEST DAY**

Argent> <<How would Avalon be affected?>> It'd make Hiroshima look like a firecracker.

**END SPOILERS**

Demona May> Um, it's rather dangerous to give your address and phone number in a public forum. We're OK, but who knows who may be lurking...And I'm seriously considering taking you up on your commission offer, if you can e-mail me a copy of a scanned pic instead of using actual mail. I know you can't access a scanner very often, but I'm quite patient. :)

Attila> <<Have I disturbed you, yet>> Nope. You're talking to the guy who helped raise the killing of Mr. Disconnect to an art form. <g>

Speaking of which...
**MR. DISCONNECT'S GONNA DIE TONIGHT**

[Wilek portals in to the CR and stalks up to the door leading to the room's computer center. He kicks it down, strides over to a computer terminal where Mr. Disconnect is messing with several different Internet servers. Wilek grabs DC by the back of the head and pounds his face into the keyboard about ten times, breaking both the keyboard and DC's face, not to mention the desk.] This afternoon, I found several SNES ROMs--namely Mega Man X2 and X3--that I'd been looking for for a *very* long time. I set about downloading them. Now, I have one of those programs that lets you resume downloads, Go!Zilla I think. But the site I was downloading from doesn't support the resuming of downloads; i.e. if the download was interrupted in any way, it had to be started ALL OVER. Now, knowing this, *someone* decided to cause the servers to reset or something every time my downloads got about, oh, half done. So the download kept resetting, and it soon became clear that I'd never procure those ROMs. Now, who do you suppose is responsible for all this? I think I know. [Wilek pounds DC's head into the monitor, grinds his face into the broken glass, throws him to the floor, and kicks him in the <ahem> hard enough to send him flying through the (closed) window--of the 30th story of the building. He falls through a rip in the fabric of space, into the Labyrinth of the Cenobites, where Pinhead is stalking the corridors on some dark errand. PH: "Ah...new flesh..."]

**END DEATH**

Kitainia> <<don't you know that when weathermen make predictions that turn out to be wrong, it's just God deflating their egos?>> Oh, that would be SO kewl! :D <<Bear meat tastes great!>> Do...I wanna know how you know that? o_O <<Traveler's also involved in our game, but I'm not sure what he's up to>> Who is? My friend, trying to figure out how Traveler's mind works is a fairly efficient way to drive yourself out of *yours*. :P j/k

Puff Daddy> I've never heard his work, but just knowing it's rap is enough to keep me away.

Worst Night(or whenever)mares>
Owen: [<in response to a memo> "Mr. Xanatos...what do you mean there's now a strictly informal dress code?!"]
Hm, I'm bad at this...

Todd> <<Alex turns all the regular gargoyles into gargoyle beasts>> LOL! I can just see it! (Ever notice how much Bronx looks like Broadway? O_o)

SOROW> <> Well...I just pronounce it 'Grame' (rhymes with flame); I didn't know there were any other ways...

Doug> <> Or better yet: What if Graeme Devine's dad named Graeme after TGS's Graeme (or vice versa), because of something that occurred during the Timedance? Wouldn't *that* make an interesting ep...

Jackal> Welcome back dude! We were wondering where you'd gotten off to. Hope your absence from this place didn't drive you too sane. :P

SJ> <<Anybody interested in a Gargoyles/Shining Force crossover?>> I probably would be, if I liked that game series...now a Gargs/Castlevania crossover...or Gargs/Blood...Gargs/Zelda...Hm, my ficverse is set up for all three...

**RESUME RP!**

[At Thailog's secret base...that strange new person that no one knows who he is, is again speaking with Thailog. "Do you know who...*these* two people are?" The person conjures an image of...Thailog: "Anoth Mitaxis and Forfexx Argentum. <grr> They have been instrumental in several of my defeats." Stranger: "I myself have made several attempts to overthrow the world's governments; Anoth and Forfexx have foiled them all, along with those two buffoonish freaks they associate with." Thailog: "The mutates?" Weird guy: "Yes. Alone, neither of us can be victorious. But together...this world will be *ours*..."]

**Kyryn strolls in**

*grin and a sigh of relief*

Thanks for the compliments! You folks don't know how I worried over this.

**MINOR TIMEDANCER SPOILERS**

Ed> The name of the tavern? Well, it would have worked except that The Shire Pub is set away from the water and we needed it set near a wharf. But it would have been a nice tie-in. Harrisons relation? Well, they could be related to the ninth president of the United States. *grin* Who knows?

TD time>Well, technically you've only seen three episodes so far, if you count Sun and Serpent as one large one. It's hard to judge a whole season by that. Besides S & S was set in ancient Egypt. Isn't that far enough back?

Kitania> Yeah, the guys probably were upset that they didn't manage to get the bear-- proably when they realized they'd have to face another night of cooked roots and dried meat shreds. *grin*

The three coming back?> Who knows? *grin*

**END SPOILERS**

SOROW> You got tickets to the game! Kewlies! Stars games are always fun. I hope you have a great time!

Selanit> Kewlies to you too! Have fun in England!

Reliquary and Relic: Both excellent books. I just don't recommend reading the opening two chapters of Reliquary during dinner. I almost made that mistake.

Nostradamus> So that's where the idea that we're going to get hit by a sungrazing comet this summer is coming from. Personally, I think that too many people have been watching Armageddon and are busy looking for Millenial catastrophes. BTW, I think that it's kind of silly to assign doom and gloom to a year just because it happens to hit a certain number in an arbitrary system. I think that we're going to have more problems with the people who are panicking over the possible Y2K problems.

Cyrway> All right! Another Darkwing fan! BTW - the idea of Elric for Kids -- snicker, snicker. ROTFLMAO

Snow> *L* - the same thing happens in Dallas and Los Angeles when the rains start after a long summer - everyone seems to forget how to drive just because some wet stuff is falling from the sky. *shakes head* I don't even want to think about all the idiots in Dallas when we have an occasional ice storm in the winter.

Wilek> You actually blew it up! I'm impressed.

Coyote> I switch between glasses and contacts. I like the contacts when I'm driving so I can wear my 'shades (Gargoyles-- what else!)

Reading Eps> Sometimes it gets extremely confusing since I'm editing eps before they come out. I have to store original comments and wait for the ep to be released.

Robby>47 pages of poetry?!? That probably equals the total of poems that I've written in my lifetime! Another B & B fan here. I always found it amusing that in the Halloween episode, Masques, their 'Central Park' was actually shot in Griffith Park in Los Angeles. BTW another section of that park also has the tunnel to Toontown , which is also the tunnel from Back to the Future. I didn't recognize it until I drove through it one day.

Ah well, I've rambled long enough. Gotta go back and work on proofing another ep!

Later All!

"Well...um....." SJ clears his throat. "You look....amazing. You're....even more beautiful!"
She turns to him and smiles feebly. Her eyes glowed a golden color. "Really? I feel a little...odd." She looks down at her armor. "And why am I wearing this metal halter top?"
****END RP FOR NOW!!!!!*****

FanFic question: Hey guys, I wanted to throw out an idea here, see what you thought of it. Anybody interested in a Gargoyles/Shining Force crossover? I got an idea rattling around in my head, but I wanted some feedback first.

Spiderman movie: Jim Carrey? As Spiderman? I think somebody's joking with us. Jim's a funny guy and all, but a superhero he is not. I'm still terrified that they'll give the franchise to James Cameron. Regardless of whether you liked Titanic or think he's a good director, I heard what his "take" on the Spiderman mythos was and.....well frankly, in the opinion of this comic book fanboy, and WARNING: to be perfectly blunt--I could take a dump in a box of typing paper, and it'd result in a better concept. The man would RUIN the franchise, just like Schumacher did with the Bat.

Episdoe 1 trailer: Good news! Don't have to go see Wing Commander to see it! It's now on the net at http://www.apple.com, or just click on my name. You'll need Quicktime to see it, though.

Demona May: Hey, good to see you here! Hopefully much poking and prodding by Robby convinced you to give us a look. Oh, and in case no one's told you yet, "check your sanity at the door".

Lexy: You're daymares were great! ROTFLMAO!!!

Preacher: They still want Ben Affleck to play Jesse Custer. Is it just me, or is this guy way over-rated? I've seen most of his movies, and I don't really see anything special. I guess they just want a "name" actor who sorta looks like the good ol' pastor. But Sam Jackson is perfect for the Saint of Killers. The man is as cool as cool can get. BTW, to all his fans--me included!--Arseface will appear in the movie!

Attila: **SJ protectively hugs his Pikachu** You stay away from my Pokemon!

Doug & Kitiana: Hey, so you're going to see the Corruptor! Good choice! Chow needs all the support he can get...I think Hollywood has it in for him.

Puff Daddy: Ah, of all the things I enjoy sharing, it's probably my hate for loathesome celebrities! Yes, he deserves an ass-whuppin'. This guy thinks he's the s***, but he ain't. Tupac was the greatest, if not for his music, than for his unbelievably charismatic behavior. Of course there's the rumor he isn't dead.....then there's the rumor that B.I.G. and PD had him killed....then there's the rumor that Puffy had Biggie killed so he could gain the spotlight. Ah well, too many controversies.
Oh, and I just heard Ol' Dirty Bas....I mean, Big Baby Jesus was arrested. Again.

Argent- Will those characters be coming back? If I was a betting man, I'd say yes. If I were a TGS staff member, which I am, I'd have to say "No Comment".

Lexy- Brooklyn's worst nightmare... Heh heh. I give hiom several, and make him live them.

Ordell- Don't have favorite TGS episodes myself.

TD episodes need more time periods- Can do! I mean, they're going to **** and ****. And oh yeah, in the one I wrote they'll be goingto ****. Lotsa variety.

Lawrence- Monday hater huh? Look on the bright side, its almost the weekend.

Doug- The title of your latest really disturbs me.

Doug- A request for more of Jim Iza Noying? Okay,can do! But the stuff I mentioned yesterday is a no go. The plans I had there were too closely tied to music. I could still do them, but my heart aint in them. I may get around to using the blues brothers idea some other time when the idea isn't so recently revealed, but not just now. Worry not, I have plenty of ideas...

Sorow- If I go to the gathering, I'm considering signing up for clan fued.

**ADVENTURES OF JIM IZA NOYING- The Robot: Part One**

Jim is just sitting around his new house,a large yellow submarine, when a knock comes at the door. Jim goes to answer, and he sees a little robot, about two feet tall. Drills for hands, tank treads for feet, a couple of twisted antenna with electricity shooting between them.
"Hello Jim Noying. I'm here to kill you." Jim closes the door, effectivley denying the robot entrance. The robot curses to himself.
"Dang, did I say that out loud? Hmm..." The robot pauses a moment, and then shouts through the door. "I was only kidding Jim! I'm really your mail order butler!" From within the yellow sub, Jim pauses to consider. He doesn't recall ordering a mail order butler... But he opens the door anyway and the little robot rolls right in...
To be continued!

**RP COMING RIGHT AT YOU, LOUD AND PROUD :)**

Doug and his team are circling the Marsh Building, on the lookout for a parking spot. Unknown to them, they are being watched by a silent figure hiding in the bushes. "God," Doug sighs as they pass another line of stopped vehicles. "How can there be so many cars in the world? We oughta get out and smash..." "Doug," Kitainia reminds him, "road rage." "Oh, yeah," Doug nods, calming down. "Right, road rage, must not suffer road rage." "Look!" Jaden suddenly interrupts him. "There's a spot!" Doug zips over to it and is about to slide in when a huge SUV barrels down the sidewalk and takes the spot. Doug growls and keeps going, mumbling "Road rage, road rage, must avoid road rage." Hoping it will help him do that, he turns to make a CR post.

**PAUSE RP**

Kick the tires and light the fires, Doug is back in the CR!! Da da da da da da YOWL!!! Sorry, I'm just excited because spring break starts tomorrow. :) So much fun ahead. Okay, now on to my real post.

Christine: Glad you're making progress on Dark Beauty, I will be patiently waiting for it as I work on my next fic. Cool alias. As for your ego, hey, you're entitled to it. Some people have huge egos and lots of accomplishments that justify them. IMO, you're certainly one of those. <grin>

Nostradamus: So far I agree with Kitainia and Steve about this guy. I don't know if I really believe in his prophecies. I just hope they don't come true. Of course if they do, I'll be among the first to stand up against Mabus or whatever his name will be. (Tremble, King of Terror, here comes Doug! And Doug's friends, who can beat your flunkies any day of the week. At least, I hope so.)

Welcome to all CR newcomers. Glad to see more people in here.

Patrick: You're welcome. Don't worry, no matter how much RP we do we are still TGS fans.

TRC: Forgot to say it earlier, but welcome back to the CR!

Selanit: Congrats on your achievement. Have fun in England and let us know if you ever bump into Leo, Una, or Griff.

Wilek: Graeme Devine, huh? I wonder if TGS's Graeme has ever played any of his games? <chuckle>

Robby: Ah, come on, you have to do all that. It'd be so funny! (We need more of Jim Noying in here, plus I love the Blues Brothers.) Oh well, too bad you couldn't. Better luck with your next project, man.

**BEGIN SPOILERS/COMMENTS ON THE NEW TIMEDANCER**

Nicely done episode here. I liked the three soldiers, especially Henry and the character development he underwent. Brooklyn and Sata were also developed well, and there was a cool plot to the episode, if one with little action. I liked the history in it. Kudos to Kyryn, Craig, Constance, and Jessica for a job well done. Thumbs up, 8/10, all my other comments have already been mentioned by Kit.

**SPOILING COMMENTS ARE OVER, YOU CAN LOOK NOW**

Demona May: Thanks for the offer. I may take you up on it, your artwork is pretty neat.

DumlaoX: You're welcome. I also agree with you about Puff Daddy. Whoever capped Biggie should have gotten him, too. After all the two of them blew away Tupac, the most awesome rapper of all time (and one of the only four I can listen to without covering my ears, the others being Fresh Prince, MC Hammer, and Dr. Dre). Puff was driving the car, Biggie shooting. How do I know that? I don't, it's just speculation and strong gut instinct. But I think it clearly expresses my feelings towards those two jack-@$$ jerks. You're right, neither one of them deserve their fame. Just like that little trampy slut Moanica Screwinsky. Ahem, sorry if I've offended anyone.

Reverend Atilla: Welcome back to the CR, glad to see you're still in top form of catness and comedy. Yes, I have noticed Green Baron's political mind. :) BTW, did you know your human inspired a character in my fanfic with a similar name? He'll first be seen in the upcoming "Night of the Symbiotes," where he will preside over the marriage of Angela and Broadway. <grin> Bet the real Green Baron will enjoy that.

Worst Nightmares: Hmm, how would these be for my characters? I'm not sure. Have to think about it. I'll probably get back to you guys on this.

Lawrence: Ah, Mondays are usually terrible. Fridays now, they're usually great. Tomorrow's Friday, hope you're looking forward to it. And as for that a-hole who said you were going to hell, I have four words for him. "See you there, man!" :) Sorry, couldn't resist. Best thing to do about those creeps is walk past and ignore them. You can get arrested if you give them what they deserve. Glad you were able to deal with it.

Another Plug: Once again reminding people that my new fic "Vengeance" is up at GFW. If you want, go read and enjoy. I see a few people already have, and given it a very good rating. Wish they would send me feedback, so I can know what they liked (and if there was anything they didn't). Traveler, that also goes for you. I think you owe me quite a bit of promised feedback. (Patience, Doug, patience. :)

Okay, that's all for tonight. Later!!

**RP AGAIN**

Doug finally finds a parking spot and slides into it before anyone else can. He and the others then get out of the car and look up at the imposing bulk of Marsh Industries' corporate headquarters. "So," Shap says, "this big black eyesore of a building is the home of the guy financing the evil we fight." "Yeah," says Fleur. "Let's go in there and kick some butt, okay?" "We will," Doug says. "If we have to. First we get the info on Traveler." The others all nod, Cobra stepping forward. "Okay," he says. "Here's the plan. We sneak in the side door, head for the sixty-ninth floor. That's the top, and Marsh's office. Once there, well, we know what to do." "Right," Doug nods in agreement. "Let's go in!" They start heading towards the building's side entrance, no one appearing to challenge the group. Watching from the bushes, Mr. Borg-Dreissen smiles. "There they go, Master Guod," he sends out a telepathic message. "Heading for the big man's office, right into your trap." As Cobra opens the door and the Ravens enter the building, the screen goes blank. To be continued.

Monday> I did not like my Monday at all first off, I have GYM now which I do not like, then I had homework, then a boy in one of my classes said that I was going to go to Hell for no reason at all. Just because I am Pagan/Wicca, then the printer would not work for me, then my cordless phone fell down the stairs but I did fix it. Lastly I got a prank phone call so all in all I had a bad Monday

TIMEDANCER - Well, let's keep in mind that most of the TGS staff are Americans, and to most Americans, anything before 1969 is ancient history :) Mind you, I don't like it much myself when a time travel series focuses almost exclusively on the last couple of centuries and ignores the ancient and medieval world, so I can sympathize with the comments here.

MORE "WORST DAYMARES".

GOLIATH - Jason Canmore proposes to Elisa, and she accepts.

BRONX - Nudnik gets mass-cloned by Sevarius into 101 gargoyle beast puppies, who all want to play with him when he wants to nap.

OWEN - Alex turns all the regular gargoyles into gargoyle beasts, both physically and mentally; the beasts all rampage through the castle, playing tug-of-war with the tapestries, digging up the garden, and cleaning out the kitchen.

BROOKLYN - Sata says to him, "I have something to confess to you", pulls down a zipper on her back, and reveals that she's actually Demona in an Ishimuran gargoyle costume.

Kitainia: Yeah, I meant relatively. Compared to the variety of times that the first season had. Anything in the last 200 years is relatively modern. Of course this season will probably be the same, but because these eps were clumped together it would be nice to see more variety. :)

GB-- Um, to tell you the truth, we're full of animals in this house. Got 4 maybe 5 cats and 2 dogs. (Which almost reminds me, take a pic of me with one of them).

LEXY-- Ok, here's the deal on the pics. The only ones allowed here are TGS pics. For the most part, they should be drawn by the staff. I asked for permission to have the fans draw the characters out but it was a no go. As for why I have my own pic, it's to signify my posts as comment room moderator. Borrowed the idea from Gorebash when he had his own pic in the S8 comment room whenever he posted. It was a good idea at the time.

And, yes, definitly bring the camcorder for G'99. Just turn it off whenever an official like Greg asks you to.

KITAINIA-- Sending the RP info to Deuce now. Including the ones from Coyote, Doug, & Wilek. As for Dr. Dre, he does perform but only in guest shots with some of the other artists from his Aftermath label. Currently he can be heard on Eminem's album "The Slim Shady LP". Be warned, Eminem can get a bit too crazy with his lyrics :P

**RP WARNING**

At the bad guys' secret base, Thailog and Zale recieve a comm call from Wilek Fieger I. "The Dark Star has been destroyed," he reports. "My fleet is currently returning to Earth. May we dock at the main base?" "No," Zale tells him. "Our hangar is currently filled to capacity with Nipon's ships. There's no room for your remaining MG-5000s." "We have four other bases," Thailog tells WF1. "Go to Area 51 Site 2 or Site 3, their hangars should have space for you. If not, we still have hangars at Area 51, Site 4, and Area 51-A near Springfield." "I will take my fleet to Site 2," WF1 decides. "I still have evil clones of the Monkees, the Green Ranger, Teri Laughton, Forfexx Argentum, and the mutant drekketh Raoul. Let me know if you need them." "Don't worry," Thailog says, ending the communication. "Thanks for what you've done so far. Out."

The screen changes to San Francisco, where the Ravens are still stuck in traffic as they head for the Marsh Building. Doug is by now in the early stages of road rage, and his hands are sweaty and his mouth growling as he grips the wheel. With a worried look on her face, Kitainia turns to make a CR post.

**PAUSE RP**

Hi, everyone! I'm back. One more day to spring break, wish it came sooner.

JEB: I share Doug's sentiments about your predicament's resolution. Look forward to seeing you at the Gathering as well as everyone else.

Wing Commander: Actually the guy who directed it is the same man who directed and produced the computer games. So I bet it will be very true to them. Tomorrow Doug and I will go for a triple feature at the new Metro Theater downtown (Wing Commander, The Corruptor, Carrie 2) and find out.

Fleur: Really hope you'll get better soon. Being sick is never any fun (not even in that horrible Xena episode).

Robby: Glad you liked my little CR creativity demon. Hope Heather also did. <grin>

Christine: I guess we'll have to be content with your other novels, huh? That's okay. BTW, any news on getting the rest of the trilogy published? Hope so, I want to read it! :) And Dark Beauty.

Green Baron: $ Thanks for the character license, I will do my best to keep them in character. <fingers crossed> $

Welcome to all the new and returning people! Don't forget to check your sanity with Deuce. (Say, I wonder what he does with all the sanity he collects. Hmm.)

Jewel: They should make that Dawson's Creek episode, I'd watch it. Oh, btw, Doug's next fanfic is going to have Spike and Dru as the main villains. But their vampire goons are going to have names of characters from shows Doug and I hate that are on the WB. Such as Dennis, Trudy, Bordon, Iris, Zoe, Duncan, Jack, and Jane. :) We thank you for the creativity demon.

SJ: Oh come on, don't you know that when weathermen make predictions that turn out to be wrong, it's just God deflating their egos?

Ravyn: Good luck on that history test.

Nostradamus: Thanks for the info on his visions, Airwalker. Good to know that he wasn't like Pastor John. And of course that they might not come true. I hope we get the peace vision and not the total destruction one. :) Otherwise I agree with Stephen about what most of the man said.

**BEGIN SPOILERS FOR NEW TIMEDANCER EP**

Brothers in Arms: Sorry I didn't read this sooner, no time. But now that I have, I'm glad I did. Great job, Kyryn, Craig, and everyone else who worked on it. Brooklyn and Sata were very well-developed in here. I also liked the characters of the three soldiers and hope that we'll see them again sometime. I especially enjoyed the development of their attitude towards the two gargoyles, I hope that in the present day other humans soon go through a similar process. There is a need. :) Henry's going from a traitorous drifter to an honorable savior of Baltimore was also very well done.

The ep also has a good plot and it's obvious that the writers researched their history very well before putting anything down. As a result they did a great job. Jessica also did a good pic of Brooklyn and Sata fighting the bear. (Too bad the soldiers weren't able to kill it. Bear meat tastes great! Oh well, I guess we had to please the animal rights people.)

All in all, excellent if short Timedancer story. Thanks for the entertainment and keep up the good work, TGS Staff!!

ED: I don't know if I'd call 1814 or 1937 the modern world. Or 1952 for that matter. Things have changed so much. But you're right, it would be good to see ancient Rome, Greece, or the future again.

**SPOILERS END**

Argent: I hope we see those characters soon myself. Especially Anansi and Dingo.

Dumlao: Comments for the new Timedancer ep are above. I completely agree with you about Puff Daddy. He totally ruined Sting's Every Breath You Take with his adpation of it. Plus Biggie Smalls was not the kind of man one should respect and dedicate songs to. At least not in my opinion. There are many more talented people out there than PD, wish they'd get more attention. I especially like Will Smith and Dr. Dre, too bad the former doesn't preform anymore. And don't be surprised I want to meet you. I need to personally thank you for all you've given us, don't I? :) See you in Dallas, I hope.

Deuce: $ The bad guy's corporation is named Marsh Industries. If you're planning something with it, you better move fast. Our team is about to raid the corporate headquarters and soon after they'll be destroyed. Thailog has already had the CEO killed because he was a weak link in their operation. The evil scientist has made a machine that can turn any rock into gold that the bad guys are using for money now. All that remains is actually destroying the Marsh corporation. Soon it shall be done. $

$ Oh, and to summarize the RP up to now- All us good guys (me, Doug, the Ravens, Fleur, Jaden, Wilek, his team, SJ, Coyote, Ravyn, Dumlao) are trying to stop Thailog's plot to take over the world. We learned of it in Austin when a guy named Shallow Mouth betrayed Thailog and told us about his plans. Shortly after that, he was killed. We must now stop Thailog and his allies from taking over the planet. Said allies include Doug's evil clone Guod (the head of a Borg collective that includes the Brady Bunch, Borgzilla, and the cast of Beavis and Butthead), my evil clone Asil, a powerful wizard named Kharsus, the alien force known as the Phalanx, Jerec the Dark Jedi, gang leader T'angelo, General Zale the crazed militia leader, the corrupt right-wing Catholic bishop Galante, and many of us posters' old enemies from our real lives. We've also eliminated some other of his allies, such as the Fundamentalist Extreme, a Russian Mafia family, a corrupt circus, and a humongous evil law firm. $

$ Doug, Wilek, and Coyote have already sent summaries of what they've been doing so far to DumlaoX. DumlaoX, if you could please forward said summaries to Deuce (Doug lost the one he sent you, but Coyote and Wilek can still directly send theirs, I guess), we'll be very grateful. Thanks. As for our current activities, Doug's and my team is in San Francisco getting ready to raid the Marsh Corporate Headquarters. Wilek's group is in outer space preparing a new orbital defense station for Earth, and Coyote and Ravyn's is in Arizona fighting some guys who also may be allied with Thailog while they try to help some refugees of our war. Traveler's also involved in our game, but I'm not sure what he's up to. Hope this helps you, let us know if you need more. $

That's all for now, later!

**RP AGAIN**

Doug, by now deeper into road rage, beeps his horn at the traffic and yells at the other drivers to get out of his way. Just then the Marsh Corporate Headquarters finally come into view. Kitainia points them out and Doug visibly calms down, changing lanes and heading for the freeway exit. "Almost there," Fleur says as they get off. "Now if we can only find a parking spot!" Doug groans loudly, road rage rearing its ugly head once again. He and the Ravens continue driving towards the building as the screen fades out. To be continued.

**FOR NOW, END RP**

***SPOILERS FOR BROTHERS IN ARMS***

Hmm Harrison, eh? Any relation to another couple of Harrisons from New York, by any chance? :) It might also have been a nice touch if the tavern was actually the Shire pub from WHEN THE BOUGH BREAKS, but never mind.

Anyway, it isnt a bad episode but it seems to lack real focus or drive.

Also, all the TD episodes this season have been set in the modern world. I know that's really picky given of the 6, four have been the same story, and have had flashbacks to another time, but even so... How about some variation like ancient Rome again, or Greece or going 'future tense'. Itd even be cool to have one TD ep going parallel to a Gargoyles ep :) Anyway, Im sure theres lots afoot.

***END SPOILERS***

JEB: Thanks! :) I suppose I have been quiet; the only place I post that regularly is in the Clan SteelClaw room. I havent even got around to posting up my site update (meant for Sunday!) yet. And I feel rather guilty sometimes when I just scan this room, but its so much to keep up with. So I tend just to stick with episode comments ;)

Heidi: Technically they could be dead. But if they were then they might as well rename the Gargoyles series, Slaves given whos left.

Todd: Hm- Mabus sounds more like Mab than Madoc.

The only reason I want this is so that I don't have to start using net-names if I decide to use your episode for my report. It looks rather unprofessional that way. Also, if you feel like contributing but not include your real name, make one up. International entries are excellent. Thanx.

RAVYN-- Define "really close friends" >:) Hehe, nah, you don't have to. Well congrats to you two all the same :)

DOUG-- Kitainia want's to meet... me? Wow. All I can say is... wow. Heheheh. Well, now, then I really hope I can get a crack at going to Texas. Otherwise I hope that the planned committee will get the bid for Gathering 2000 so we can hold it here in Los Angeles :) And there's nothing else I need as of right now. Thanx.

RP-- Thanx to Doug, Coyote, & Wilek for their info. Now that I have that, I'll catch up on their RP adventures, learn what the hell is going on, and see what I wanna do with it. As for a bio of my RP character, lemme see what I can whip up.

SELANIT-- Congrats. And remember, when in England, drive on the left side of the road, cause the left side is the right side :)

SJ-- Actually, there are 2 Discworld games for the PSX, 2 for the PC, and 1 for the Saturn. From what I saw, they were pretty good. And about the pic, that's one reason I wanna change it. I don't smile becuase I don't think I look good doing it. Yet this one just scares the hell outta me. Ah well.

PUFF DADDY-- Somebody go kick his a$$. As a devoted fan of rap music, I can safely say that he can't rap, he can't make good songs, he can't do crap. He bites of B.I.G.'s fame by always tributing to him without any meaning behind it, destroyes all the 80's songs he touches by adding a drum beat and whack lyrics, and his whole voice is so damn monotone that when he and Ma$e did "Mo Money Mo Problems" you couldn't tell who was rapping. And don't get me started on his lack of singing skills (yes, he tried to sing with Ma$e and 112 in the end of the Ma$e album entitled "Harlem World". Not even 112 could save that track from being ludicrous.) There are more talented and more innovative producers and rappers out there (DJ Quik, Master P, Dr. Dre come to mind). Puffy deserves none of his fame.

***BEGIN TGS SPOILERS***

WILEK-- Um... good question. Technically, speaking off the record here, I'd say out of the atmosphere of earth. You get that far and you should be fine.

***END TGS SPOILERS***

Now I got some work to do. And I'll be damned if I don't leave this lab with at least a page of my 15-20 page gerontology report done, safely stored away on a floppy and a ZIP.

Till next time...

SJ: I hear they've already cast Robert Carlysle (I know I spelled that wrong) from "The Fully Monty" to be Cassidy in the "Preacher" movie.

Stupid people and snow: The people in Atlanta turn into the biggest idiots and the word "snow." The weatherman says there's a chance of snow in extreme north Georgia, and everyone in Atlanta and 'burbs runs to the grocery store for milk, eggs, and bread. <snort> Never mind the fact that any snow that manages to get to Atlanta is gone by the next day...

Garg novel: <eyes light up> Get *paid* to write glorified fanfic...hey... Seriously, though (actually, that was kind of serious) if they ever let us, I sure would love to. Shoot, I just recently figured out that when I finish all my fanfic, I'll have written close to or over 1,000 pages (and yes, I sort of started dumbly at the calculator for a few minutes after the number appeared on the screen--and I know I'll go over the number it gave me with "Goetterdaemmerung," since it's only 1/4th done and pushing 40 pages, and I had estimated only 60). <g>I think I could handle writing a book...

Anyway it'l a lovely place plus you've got your own leaking nuclear power plant right on your doorstep (Selafield..unless they've changed it's name again.), the Lake district isn't to far away and the Scottish border is only about an hours drive away...you'll love it.

I heard some one mentioning how half of the Ragnarok tale was that it already happened and half of it tells of what is to happen and that the person was confused about such. Well I believe time is a morbius loop. Time repeats itself as they say. SO of course it something does occur it will again. Probably not for millions of years but someday earth will end as we know it and then began anew. Then millions of years after that Dinosaurs will live again. and than thosands of years after that, man will live again. It is an endless cycle. Then millions of years later it will all end.

I can't believe what just happened. My Religion teacher is on a live-in, so we get a substitute. She shows us the end of the movie we started on Tuesday ("Ticket to Heaven"), and then we all jsut sat around for a while. So I asked her if I could leave early.

She let me! *LOL* Everybody else is sitting there, bored out of their minds, and I'm sitting in the library! HAHAHAHA!!!

Demona May> I've seen some of your work and I might take you up on that.

Axle> TGS is currently set in mid-1998. From what I've seen, the season finale (released early July) will take place reasonably near the "real" date. I think the end of TLD1 skipped from May to July, showing the results of whatever caused those results.

****ALARM*ALARM*SPOILERS COMIN THIS WAY****ALARM*ALARM****
Anyways, Only people are left is Demona and Angela, so it has to be a dream, or maybe a parallel universe. I mean it showed Demona making a call, then jumps to the year 1998...I thought it was casted in 1996-97? Maybe its just a vision on what might happen, like you see in some of those spooky novels? Anyways, another point. What about Brooklyn and Sata and their kids. I would think they would know something (haven't read the Timedancer, gonna start now) And they could have provented it. Granted, they made a pact not to tell anyone anything, but we also know that time can not be altered. I just think a fair warning would be nice from them. So I have come to the conclusion that this is just an illusion or dream or somethin. I'm gonna shut up now and go read :)

-All gargoyles would NOT be safe from this spell. The Guatamalan clan DOESN'T turn to stone during the day. And what keeps them awake? Pendants connected with a magic Sun Amulet. Also: Unless the spell wants to contradict itself, ALL gargoyles WOULD be affected. It's a spell that turns their clothes, weapons, etc. to stone along with them.
-How would Avalon be affected?

And I like being free anyway :) If anyone hasn't seen "October Sky" yet, DO! It is absolutely wonderful.

Hmm, finally have a chance to comment! yeah! Got some catching up to do though...

Movie news: Now that Spiderman is out of legal limbo, I wish it was back. Jim Carrey has put forth interest in the role of Spidey. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

DJ News- More midi sites have bitten the dust. And they were some of the best ones too. Dang... I had plans to use varius songs from them over my RPing for the next two or three weeks. Grr... Blasted lawyers. No offense to Kenny.

Godzilla- Don't know if I said it before, but welcome!

Coyote- Ah, I prefer glasses myself. Easier to keep track of, put on, and no nasty eye infections. Hope your eyes heal tho.

Argent- Yes, it was Mrs. Robinson, and if you were to click on the link noiw, it wouldn't work. Its the places thats just gone down.

Kitainia- Liked the scene you wrote out between DC and Heather. But then, I'm a bit biased ain't I?

Ragnarock- ABove all else, it just SOUNDS cool don't it?

School- Tommarrow is the last night I have a mega dose of homework, and then... SPRING BREAK! YES!

Pokemon/Gargoyles crossover- Actually, I think a couple of the later Pokemon ARE gargs... Charmander in his third form looks kinda similar... And Mewtwo looks like opne missing wings...

Rebecca Glines- More episodes? Happy to oblige! Heck, if I get my way, there'll be a ton of season 3 Timedancer stuff... In fact, in about 8 weeks my premiere as a TGS writer comes in...

Ironwolf- I'd see the gargs movie over a DiCaprio movie any day.

Garg novels- Heh heh heh... There's a reason my stories are taking so long to come out... I'm re-editing them into one nice long story... A couple hundred pages long... And the best part? It'kll have illustration by Demona May when all is said and done. It shall be worth the wait. Oh yes, it shall be worth the wait...

Selanit- Nice to DC? Its a twist, I'll admit. But a slightly fun one...

Buffy episode titled Beauty and the Beast- Hmm, this drudges up fond memories of a late 80's show (Early 90's?) titles Beauty and the Beast. Starred Linda Hamilton and Ron Pearlman as Catherine and Vincent. Anybody else remember this show? Great piece of work that was easily one of the best shows ever before Gargs... And even then...

Mandi- SNow? Hmm.

Cyrway- I had forgotten there's another turtles and mutanimals fan in the room... But Darkwing Duck as well? Coolies!

Killing a cute little character in your stories- I've done it. And the people who have read it never saw it coming and said I was a cruel, mean, and nasty ***** for doing it. But I haven't changed it. Heh heh heh.

Wing Commander- I'm holding judgement for the next two days...

Dumlao- Neat pic of yourself.

Heather- Hmm,I like that Mr. Darcy quote.

Coyote and Ravyn- Dang, I said it before anyone else in the room had noticed and I'll say it again, you two make a cute couple.

Demona surving a nuke- Greg said its never been tested and never will. My theory is, she'd reassemble. After all, 1,000 years of turning to stone at dawn, there had to have been at least one occasion where somebody knocked her head off.

Jewel- Thats a Dawson's Creek episode I'd actually watch!

SJ- I'm the one who introduced Kari. She's Jim's sister remember. But I don't mind at all you doing whatever with her in the RP. I brought her in to give you something to do at Jim's first party. You can even go as far as to kill her if you ever feel the need to storywise. You have my full permission to do whatever the story dictates. Honestly, the goddess thing is kinda cool, differentiates her quite a bit from her brother, whos basically rich and kinda on the childish side.

Wilek- It IS easy to mistake Rho for Star Trek's Ro Laren. I made the same mistake myself. Nice plot twist in the RP by the by.

Deuce- Yup, I like my English teacher, he's a cool guy. Unfortunatley, his idea of major grades involves big, time consuming projects... Ah well... As for evil vampiric English teachers, my seventh grade teacher was a total *****. I won't go into specifics, but believe me, that is the only year I have EVER not liked English.

Dumlao- That IS a scary picture. (Joking. Really.)

Nostradamus- Guy was a kook with good guesses. If all his predictions were true, Earth would have been gone in 1996. I remember clearly that it was supposed to according to him.

This weeks story- Heh heh. Who says it has to be a dream? I recall Greg Weisman once saying a member or two of the key cast would die had the series gone on longer... And gargoyles have the concrete cure all, so death isn't too easy to pull... In any event, doesn't affect me much, since most of my planning is going into Timedancer...

Oooe ay... TALESPIN! Oooeoo... TALESPIN! All the trouble we get in, with another tale to spin! Sorry, just popped into my head for some reason.

TRC- Bigglesworth and you both have severe competition to rule the world. My evil twin Lonny. And egads, the plans he has for April 1rst... They scare me.

Gargoyles/Quantum leap crossover- Even more fun, Timedancer/Quantum Leap crossover. Heh heh...

Selanit- Going to England? Cool!

Fleur- A tree as bouncer? I thought thats what the three CR gators were for?

Tonights Daria- Um, that was just wierd... Hope its just a one time thing. I would be greatley saddened if a great show like Daria started declining, especially since it is one of the few animated series that stands a chance of going on for a long time.

Jim's House Quest- With the loss of the midi site I was using, a lot of fun has gone out of the ideas I was going to do. Jim was going to investigate all over the place looking for a new house, including the Munsters, the Eyrie building, the Simpsons place, New York New York, the Starship Enterprise, varius StarWars locals, the batcave, etc. etc. In the mean time he would have mixed it up with Nazis, police, and a country singer, ala Blues Brothers, to which their theme would have been played. But alas, without the music provided by that one site, that just isn't much fun to do, so I'll skip ahead oh... Three weeks to what was to be the last one, where he finally settles on a new house.

**JIM"S HOUSE QUEST CONCLUSION!**

Outside the CR, a voice yells. Everybody comes running, and they see Jim.
"Hey guys! After three weeks of searching and exploring, I finally found the perfect place to live!" The CR dwellers rush to see Jim's new house, but they don't see a vehicle to take them anywhere.
"Um Jim... How are we going to get to your new house?"
"You're looking at it!" A look of dread comes over everybody. "You're not going to move into the CR are you? I mean, it would get blown up at the next party..."
"Of course not. Just follow me." They do, and they look on with a bit of wonderment.
"Its... You."
"It's in the water."
"It's yellow."
Jim smiles at his find. "Cool huh?" Everyone stares at his new home, while Jim breaks out into song. (There was supposed to be a link to the song "Yellow Submarine" by the Beatles, but ah well...)

[Administrator: "Wilek? Perhaps now would be the best time to tell you...while you were attending Jim Noying's party, my Borg and I developed several new weapons systems. Fortunately, the designs weren't lost in the upheaval that followed." The Administrator proceeds to show Wilek screen images of the schematics for several rather impressive devices. Wilek: "Wow...those will *really* be useful when we get back at Thailog and the Phalanx for what they did to the Dark Star..." Rho: "Wilek, we're coming out of hyperspace." Now, the forward window shows a space station, visually indistinguishable from the Dark Star, orbiting a gas giant planet. Rho: "Here we are, the Avatar Of Ganon." Wilek: "Alright. Administrator, when we dock with the station, assimilate it; upgrade its weapons and such. Once that's done...Thailog is TOAST!"

**PAUSE RP!**

Fellow gaming fans, today is a day of rejoicing and mourning. Rejoicing because the great game company ID Software has hired Graeme Devine, creator of the wonderful games The 7th Guest and The 11th Hour, to work for them. Mourning because the company he used to work for, Trilobyte Software, is now out of business. <sigh>

On to other things. Fellow gaming and import fans, you MUST check out the Game Cave (click my name). They have uber-cool stuff I've never even HEARD of!

Ironwolf> Glad I don't observe Lent...

Coyote and Ravyn> You two are such a cute couple, I don't know whether to laugh or vomit. And it would hurt (and sound weird) if I tried to do both at once. :)

$Doug> <<sorry about the Dark Star getting destroyed>> Thanks. If it weren't for the Phalanx attack, the Dark Star would have recovered...but after everything it had already been through, the Phalanx destabilized the system beyond repair...$

**YET ANOTHER LONGEST DAY COMMENT WITH SPOILERS. DANG, THAT THING'S GETTING A LOT OF FEEDBACK. :P**

What if the end of the ep really IS what's going to happen? I mean, Madoc's already set off the Fimbulvetr (sp?), and the end of the ep is about as close to Ragnarok as I can imagine...

Dumlao X again (nonspoiler)> Check your e-mail. :D

EVEN MORE NEWCOMERS!> Welcome! :D And don't mind the bizarre mutant tree; it's just our bouncer.

Stormy> I'm glad you mentioned Baloo; he's a major inspiration for my wolf mutate fanfic/RP/WCC character Jake Laughton. <Jake waves to the CR> In fact, if Baloo lost that gut and worked out a lot, they'd look *eerily* similar (except Jake has pointed ears and wings, and he's a uniform dark grey instead of having a lighter colored snoot and underbelly like Baloo does; he also wears pants instead of a jacket :P ), and they have the same kind of personality (except Jake's more hyper). (Boy that was pointless...)

TRC> Welcome back! Again. :P $<<anything I should avoid?>> Um...I'm not too clear on what you mean by that. Don't eat pop rocks with soda, don't run with scissors, don't tick off Demona...$ And kewl crossover idea. I'm tempted to write one where he leaps into the body of Miriam. Boy can that be taken out of context. :P [Miriam yanks real hard on Wilek's ponytail.] OW! Sorry.

Selanit> Congratulations! And say hi to Arthur while you're there. :P j/k

Coyote> <> Not really; dead humans can't fight each other all that well. Unless they're zombies.

SJ> $<<give my apologies to Anoth>> Thanks, but it's really him who owes the apology. He told me to relay it to you, with the explanation that the recent events were trying even his legendary patience and control. :)$

Steve> You MUST mail me that text file! Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleeeeeez! :D

**RESUME RP!**

[At Thailog's secret base...he's milling about his quarters, preparing to attend another take-over-the-world planning session, when he happens to notice...an odd individual in black robes and a crested black helmet. The lower half of his face is obscured by the scarf-like collar of his robes. Thailog: "Who the blazes are you, and how did you get in here?!" Unidentified individual: "Both questions will be answered in due time. For now...I understand that two...*acquaintances* of mine are among your enemies." Thailog: "And you want me to leave them alone, I presume?" Unknown person: "Far from it; these particular acquaintances are no friends of mine, and your...amibtions...are quite similar to my own.

Hey all,

***Nasty stuff within, those with weak stomachs should turn away now***

Robby, I'm taking your cue and continuing this vicious death scene throughout the whole post. It seems like more fun.

Remember that Microsoft Employee I killed a few weeks ago? Well, I guess he wasn't so dead because he managed to program Winblows to crash on me FIVE SECONDS BEFORE I could hit 'submit' and send off this post. Beware, this is gonna get real graphic and ugly, real fast.

***We'll come back to this in a sec***

Well, I *was* going to share some news that's made me very, very happy tonight, but right now I'm just not in the mood anymore. Maybe later.

***Steve grabs the SOB MSE and shoves him into a wall***

Green Baron > 1/8th English? You could say I'm a little bit of everything: English, Irish, Czech, Polish, Swedish... just call me European :)

SJ > Your weather troubles remind me of this short story I wrote last year, called "A Light Dusting of Snow." Hehe. Can we say "Blizzard?"

***Steve decks the MSE, sending him sprawling over a desk full of paperwork - nah, let's make that a desk covered with broken glass. Yeah, that sounds better.***

Coyote > Ouch! Your eye problems sound really painful. You have my sympathies. <gold-plated carpeting> No, but we've got plenty of cigarette burns :) I think the no-microwave rule is because of old wiring that can't handle the load, but I'm not sure.

***Steve takes the cringing MSE and puts him through a plate-glass window, which shatters into a thousand razor-sharp splinters.***

Fire Storm > <what about if she was EXTREMELY killed?> I think Greg Weisman talked about this on S8 once... something like "circumstances would make sure that she would not die (i.e. the bomb would be a dud and not go off). Kind of like what happened with Goliath and Griff in "M.I.A.""

***Steve kicks the MSE in the mouth, knocking out several teeth, which skitter away on the floor. He then grabs the MSE's hair and smashes his face repeatedly into the linoleum floor, most certainly breaking his nose.***

Jewel > Really? Your fridge must be well stocked with "milk," then, huh? Yeah, "milk." Gotta love that calcium and vitamin D, yeah. ;-) Cute X-over bit, too.

***SPANGGGGGG!!!! The length of 2-inch-thick iron pipe blows the MSE's head backwards, crushing his cheekbones and knocking out several more teeth.***

Mandi > <I'll be stuck with Mom's 486> Watch out, or Coyote'll rant at'cha fer bashing 486s! <j/k> :)

***The MSE whimpers in pain, but we're not done with him yet. Steve smashes the pipe into his lower back as he tries to escape, then slams his head through a sheetrock wall.***

James Van der Beek > I dunno, I actually kinda liked Varsity Blues, and I'm an absolute staunch hater of spoorts movies in general, high school sports movies in particular.

DumlaoX > Geez, your posts are getting like Travelers' :) Not that that's a bad thing... :)

***Steve pulls the bloody mess out of the wall, kicks him in the groin, and shoves him up against a file cabinet, pulls open a drawer, shoves his hand in, and slams it shut a dozen times.***

Nostradamus' Prophecies > Heh. I'm not one to put any kind of faith in things like this, as most of the time things are subject to entirely too much interpretation in hindsight, and who's to say the guy didn't have three thousand prophecies that never came *close* to coming true? We never hear about those!

Anyway, my roommate's a big believer in things like that, in fact he's got a bet going that New York is going to be destroyed this summer. According to him, that "fire from the sky laying waste to a major city" means "Intercontinental Ballistic Missle with thermonuclear warhead wiping out NYC and everything within 30 miles." Of course, he'll never be able to *collect* on that bet, because - get this - he's getting a job in NYC this summer. :)

As for the 2000/2001 millennium thing, I know that it really doesn't start until 2001, but anybody that lives by that is going to miss one *HELL* of a party! :)

***Steve takes the whimpering MSE and tosses him through a fifth-story window - out into a conveniently-placed fountain. His fall is broken, but so is his arm as he lands on a sharp concrete edge.***

Patrick and the rest of the TGS staff > <it's great to see that people are not only reading, but thinking about things as well.> Hey, you guys and gals keep writing such great stuff, we'll keep reading, thinking, praising, and posting!

TRC > Welcome back. Are you still interested in that Bionic Six intro .zip? If so, ICQ me at 18191724.

Selanit > Congrats! That sounds like a load of fun! (But don't smile so hard you break your jaw... doing so tends to have a detrimental effect on your eating solid food for a couple weeks... trust me, I know. :)

***Steve grabs the MSE by the nape of the neck and rams him into the stone statue at the center of the fountain, snapping his collarbone.***

Fleur > Welcome back! Glad you like the quotes! As for where I got them... bwahahahaha... I've got this *humongous* textfile (49 pgs, 1,649 quotes) I picked up from a 2nd degree friend. From that I picked about sixty really good ones. We should be set for another few months. :)

***Steve picks up the MSE and drags him up nine flights of stairs to the top of the building, then holds him over the edge of the roof. Suddenly [insert standard heroine's name here] appears and exclaims: "Don't do it! If you do, you're just as bad as he is!"

Steve looks at her, looks at the bleeding, barely conscious MSE, looks back at her, and remarks, "I can live with that," and drops him.

"I've always wanted to say that," he says, shaking blood off his hands.***

Oooooh, yeah, that felt better. So much better, in fact, that I think I'll tell y'all why I was in such a good mood earlier this evening. Well, for those of you remember why Steve won't play paintball on the 8th of the month: They got him.

(For those that care but don't know, check out the CR archive for 1/17/99, my post about 2/3rds of the way down. Short version: I was playing paintball last august and got sucker-punched by some irate player, breaking my jaw on his fist. I spent the next seven weeks drinking my meals through a straw and until now getting the runaround by the police.)

Well, after one letter to the Commissioner, things finally got moving last month and they called up the guy I ID'd from a six-year-old driver's license photograph. Told him that they had a warrant out for his arrest. Turns out it wasn't *him,* but it *was* his best friend. The two of them were so scared by the cops that they came out to the station and signed full confessions (one as a witness). The arraignment's in May. WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Haaah. Glad to get that outta my system. I think tonight's quote is more than appropriate.

****RP COMIN' UP, READY TO EAT!! LITTLE LONG TONIGHT THOUGH!****
The team of heroes are numbed over the events of the last few minutes. The Dark Star, which many called home, is now a mass of wreckage, floating aimlessly through space. The others are consoling Wilek, who's taking the destruction especially hard. SJ, however, is otherwise occupied.
"Um....Kari, honey....I really need you to stop glowing, it's freakin' me out."
"Don't.....you....think I'd stop....it, if I....could?" she gasps. She began to shake, and her eyes rolled back into her head.
SJ, in a panic, angrily grabs Dark Mage Wilek. "YOU! That was your necklace! What's it doing to her??"
DMW looks at Kari calmly. "Oh, that. Hmm, it looks like the Necklace of Athena. I'd wondered where I put that."
"Cut the 'I'm-a-high-and-mighty-sorcerer' crap and tell me what its doing to her!" SJ says. He looks ready to explode.
"Ease off," DMW says evenly, although a fierce look came into his eyes. He brushed SJ's hands away. "The Necklace of Athena is a magical artifact I picked up a while back. It allegedly creates a link between the user and the ancient Greek goddess Athena. However, it only works on females, since, of course, Athena is a _goddess_. I was holding onto it, thought I might find some use to it now or later. The necklace is currently establishing the link. She'll be okay in a minute."
True to DMW's words, Kari begins to stop shaking. But the light grows in intensity, until finally a bright flash erupts from the necklace, and then all is calm. Except Kari is now a bit taller....and slightly more muscular.....and she's wearing genuine Amazonian armor. A large spear rests by her side.
SJ's eyes grow wide. "Holy crap.....what...what happened to her?"
DMW gave him a crooked grin. "Well, once the link has been established, the process is complete. She is now the Avatar of the Goddess. Whenever she gets angry or particularly stressed out, she becomes the Avatar. She's quite powerful, you must know."
SJ's brow furrowed, digesting DMW's words. "My lady friend is now an Avatar to Athena...." he mutters. A smile covers his face. "You know, this has possibilities...."
*****PAUSE HOME-COOKED RP!!****

Wilek: Dang! You...you ACTUALLY blew up the Dark Star! I, um...I really didn't mean for you to blow it up. I was gonna have it get un-infected, but.....well, you took the ball and ran with it. I admire you. You had some real character development there! Nothing makes your characters grow like turning things upside down now and again! Oh, and give my apologies to Anoth! :)

Oh, and to whomever introduced Kari to the RP: I hope you don't mind me taking liberties with her, i.e. playing around with her character. In my opinion, I've not been giving her the spotlight enough. If I've offended anyone, let me know.

Deuce: Wha....You're NOT telling me Puff Daddy did a cover for the Smashing Pumpkin's "Perfect"??? Oh....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....someone must pay for this crime. Remember how I said I wasn't a big fan of rap/hip-hop. Number one offender: Puffy. The rap that I do like (Tupac, a couple of songs by Jay-Z and DMX), they're ten times better than PD thinks he is. All the man does is make Biggie Smalls tribute songs (he's been dead for what? 3 yrs now?) or covers of older songs. No talent. And BTW, he KILLED "Kashmir". MURDERED it.

Movie news: 1) Well, it looks like plans are being moved ahead for the Preacher movie. A script has been written, they're working on a cast, but I do believe a director has signed up. I'm amazed this film's ever going to air, cause thought I love it, it's about the most blasphemous/sacrilegious comic I've ever read.
2) Just when you thought you could escape them....here comes the POKEMON movie!! Yep, looks like it. Big screen Pikachu fun! Apperently the movie was bigger than God in Japan.

J. Michael Stracynski fans: Arguably the best SF writer (well, for TV that is) this decade is starting up a new comic book, called "Rising Stars". Looks pretty cool! Gotta add it to my already-to-large collection.

Terry Pratchett fans: Did you know there's a Discworld Playstation game? TRUE! Saw it in the store today.

Dumlao: It appears that some odd looking young man has taken over your picture slot. Yeah, wearin' sunglasses and everything. Looks a bit sinister to me....he ain't smilin' in that pic..... ;)

Nostrodamus: Well, Jewel, depress me already! Great, that figures, the world ends before my professional life really begins. During the SUMMER no less. Can't you wait till September at least? Nothing happens then! I like JEB's explanation better. :-P

TRC: Mr. Bigglesworth says bring it on. ;)

Snow: I'm not complaining about six inches of snow. Except for the fact that they predicted flurries, and we got a snow storm. What I REALLY hate, is all the morons who freak out. I'm sure folks in the colder states, who get more snow than we do here in D.C., are used to it, but for some reason the people here go absolutely nuts when the flakes begin to fall. We had major highways closed because morons were leaving their cars and walking home. Not cause they were in a ditch (although there was plenty of accidents), they're just MORONS. All of whom will be eliminated when I, Mr. Bigglesworth, take over the world (hear me TRC?) :-)

******YOU'VE HAD THE ENTREE, TIME FOR DESSERT!!! SPOILERS!****
Thailog and the villains are celebrating their victory. The evil gargoyle turns to his strange guest, the Phalanx commander. "Well, it appears that your race did come through on their promise. They are truly formidable allies. I'll enjoy watching them work alongside my troops to conquer this world."
<<Of course, Thailog,>> the Phalanx said. But in his mind, where billions of voices spoke as one, he thought to himself: <One day...one day soon, when the resistance is crushed....we will destroy YOU Thailog, and everything you hold dear....then only we, the Phalanx, will rule....>

NOSTRODAMUS - Personally, I don't believe in his predictions. It all sounds like a lot of lucky coninsidences to me (meaning the ones people point out that have already come true). And that's all I'll say about that.

COYOTE & RAVYN - Hope things go well for you two! And come on, Rav! Why not come to the gathering and meet Bando in person? Ah, well! (raises a glass of pink lemonade in a toast) Here's to the two of you!

***** BEGIN RP SEGMENT! *****

After scaling down a venting shaft, the tall man adjusts the strap on the binocs afixed to his face, letting his eyes adjust to the night vision setting. Soon enough, he finds who he is looking for: Coyote Bando & Ravyn, sacked out in the lee of one of the cave walls.

"Well," the tall man whispers, "finally caught up with you, Dog-Boy."

He takes in the rest of the surrounding cave with a slow, practiced eye. He notices the glint of a camera lens - somewhere mid-way up one of the cave walls - and smirks.

"Hm! Looks like the watchers are watching... but I think they don't have a clue about one of their watchees!"

He looks back down at the sleeping duo, and for a moment a look passes over his face, lost in the darkness.

"Guess I'd better see what I can do to even the odds for you, Dog-Boy... unless you or your lady friend become permanent residents down here."

With that, he slowly backs partway into a shadow, taking out a small wired link that is patched to Sara Jane above.

" [HSSST!] BJ to K... Scramble at Locus-FVT... Hold to HSB for my signal, and come totin' FMJ... out! {HSSST!]"

**RP!!**

**The screen lights up to reveal ... Coyote, still carrying Ravyn, continuing down the path that Southard directed them. They've gone two miles into the cavern now, but the maglite is beginning to flicker.**

<"Coyote, you all right?">

I'll be fine, Rav.

<"Take a break. For me.">

**sighs, sets down Ravyn** Okay. Your feet feeling better?

<"Much, thanks.">

**At that moment, the batteries die on the maglite.**

**PAUSE RP!!**

New fic: I know, I know ... tomorrow, I promise, "Liberty or Death" will see the light of day!

Fire Storm: Ravyn already answered this ... sadly, Rav is unable to attend the Gathering this year, but I am. And as she said ... we *are* making plans to meet IRL. **grins at Ravyn**

Garg-novel: I would agree with you, Coldstone, that I am far from being in *that* pantheon of writing ... considering I have yet to write anything novel-length that *wasn't* a collection of shorter stories.

Argent, TRC: Thanks for the well-wishes. **hugs Ravyn again** You're right, TRC; when it rains, it *does* pour. :)

Deuce: **cocks head like a bird** Really? Coolies. **wide grin**

Doug: I wasn't really sure, like I said the meter seemed right.

Christine: Sounds like you and Peter David would make a great writing team ... :)
Oh, should mention this ... being the lazy bum I am, I finally picked up your book and am planning on reading it when I have time to. (a local bookstore was able to get it for me. :)

Nostradamus: Now actually, IIRC I had heard that part of Nostradamus' predictions was three thousand years of peace among humanity ... which would be kind of hard to do if the world ends.

DumlaoX: **looks ar Ravyn again, grinning** Thanks.

Cyrway: *ROTFLMAO* I can just imagine that ...

Selanit: Congratulations, and here's hoping you enjoy England! :)

Ravyn: Good luck on your test. You know I'm pulling for ya all the way. **big hugs, lingering a while, then a couple kisses for luck :)**

**RESUME RP!!**

<"It's too dark in here. I can't even see anything.">

Hmm ... too dark for garg eyes ... I think that's a sign that it's time to set up camp for the night.

**Ravyn yawns** <"I think you're right.">

Maybe in the morning I'll remember which pocket has my spare batteries.

**Ravyn laughs as they both sit down on the floor of the cavern, resting their backs as much as they can against the side wall. Almost as soon as they hit the floor, they're asleep, with Coyote's arm around Ravyn's shoulders.**

**The scene shifts to the hidden office where Kyle and Coyote's ex have been conspiring. They're watching a night-vision camera view ... of Coyote and Ravyn.**

<"At least the bounty hunter did her job right this time.">

**Coyote's ex turns to face Kyle.** <"Whenever you're ready, Kyle, we can start the operation.">

<"Fine with ... hey, who's that?!">

**Coyote's ex turns back to the screen, seeing a third figure, completely obscuring himself from the night vision, crouching down and watching over the sleeping Coyote and Ravyn.**

<"Damnation! Now we have new problems!">

**Kyle slams his fists down on the desk** <"What now?">

<"A simple math equation. We just subtract him to get to who we want, that's all it takes. Proceed with the operation, but advise about the third target, too.">

**Kyle nods, turning and leaving the room. Coyote's ex returns to the screen, zooming the camera in to center Coyote and Ravyn's faces.**

<"You'll be mine once again, Coyote ... whether you like it or not!">

**The screen winks off at this most inconvenient time.**

Nostradamus and his Visions -

With some mention of Nostradamus popping up I figured I'd throw my two cents in on the subject.

Nostradamus himself said that what he saw doesn't have to pass, that his visions are only warnings of what might be if man doesn't change his ways. In fact he gives two seperate futures for mankind:

Future 1 is that World War 3 devastates the planet and ends with the collapse of civilization, a completely devestated planet, and an exausted humanity.

Future 2 is that Mankind takes his warnings and eventually after much trials and tribulations achieves a utopia that lasts until the world comes to an end somewhere around 3417 or so.

Applying this to TGS (since this is a TGS comment room) he may have seen visions of Madoc conquering the world, and of Demona betraying the clan in one quartrain and in another seen Oberon kill Madoc and Demona become a true ally to the clan. As to which one will come to pass, that's dependent on the decisions that are made, the choice between good and evil that we all have.

**Speculation on Current Episode**

(Maybe that's what the last part of the recent episode is - a possible prophecy of Nostradamus', something he may have seen that would happen if Demona failed to make the right choice. It may have been his warning to her to make some serious changes in her life or she would end up in an even worse situation than the one she was in when he knew her.)

Hi everyone!
Well, I didn't get back here when I thought I would, so I have even _more_ catching up to do. Erk. BTW, the disclaimer from my last post still applies. :)

Raganok> One thing confuses me about this - half the myths say it has already happened, the other half say it's going to happen. What's going on here? Do I sigh with relief, or start digging my fallout shelter and loading up with the weaponry? Those ancient Norse had my kind of mythology, but I wish they'd been a more decisive group of people. :)

Mandi> Good luck with your teeth, and I hope you enjoy spring break despite them.

Jaden>>Does anyone else think that Ms. Yale should finally learn the truth about gargoyles?< Hehehe - audio version.
Brooklyn> Er, hi Ms Yale.
Yale> ARRRRGGGGHHH!! *thump*
But I can't decide whether the *thump* would be her hitting the ground in a dead faint, or punching Brooklyn for all those times he and the other gargs have made her life...interesting. :)

A minute's silence for Stanley Kubrick and Joe DiMaggio.

Heather> Cute pic! Well done.

Welcome Brooklyn Wyvern.

Get well Jewel.

Dumloa> I really hope your dad gets better. *hugs* Good luck with your job interview. Um, about your nursing home assignment, do you only want examples from America? If you'd like an Australian one, just let me know - my grandma is in a home, and I did volunteer work at another home.

Godzilla> Welcome to the CR!! BTW, your story was excellent.
Steve> >Yeah, and given my luck that slab will be falling from the sky aimed at me the next time I step outside.< LOL!
BTW, Where _do_ you get those quotes you've been entertaining us all with? They are so KEWL!!

Coyote> Ehhh, sorry about your eye troubles. Um. look on the bright-ish side. People with glasses look much more intelligent than people without them. :)

Welcome Bronx Wyvern. Tell me, are you related to the Brooklyn Wyvern who posted earlier, or is this just a wild coincidence?

Starsinger> I was going to ask you about Christopher, but I was kinda afraid of the answer. I'm so glad he's proving the doctor's wrong, and I pray he'll continue to do so. Go Christopher!!

Welcome Jason.

Wilek>[it conjures a two-headed fire-breathing chicken in the CR,which proceeds to attack the mutant tree. What exactly does that thing look like by now?] *Fleur looks worriedly at the tree. It is perched beside the main CR door, surrounded by a few lone feathers and a very faint odour of singed apples. Fleur sighs in relief.* Well Wilek, fortunately, I think the tree's mutations have stopped at ten feet tall and purple with blue apples and long tentacles instead of roots. But I don't think we have anything to fear from it. After all, the only person it's killed is Kenny, and _everyone_ kills him. And there's something about the way it's hanging around the door that makes me think it wants to be the CR bouncer. Does anyone mind it stopping the 'unsavoury' individuals (such as Barney and smurfs) from coming in? :)

Kyryn> I'm glad your heart murmer doesn't give you too much trouble.
>Kinda ironic that you're so sick. I remember your question from a couple of months ago about pneumonia and the flu.< Yeah, and the cruellest irony is that I'm in the process of re-writing the parts of my 'fic I needed all that info for. Somebody's laughing at me. I think it's fate. :)

Welcome Rebecca. And well said. :)

$Ohh, Green Baron and Stephen have joined (or re-joined, possibly?) the RP. Yippie!!$

Welcome Eclipse.

Congratulations SOROW!!

Welcome Celano.

Selanit> Fingers well and truly crossed. I tried to cross my toes too, but I fell over. :)

Nostradamus> I remember reading an article where the 'King of Terror' was thought to be a comet that would be revealed during a solar eclipse in that's going to be in either August or September. Interesting stuff.

WELCOME BACK TRC!!!!! Sorry you were sick.

(I was going to do an RP, but catching up took longer than I thought, and after the last few days, I have a date with my pillow that cannot be put off. :) )

Thank you for reading.

Reliquary: Yes, I have read that book. Where did you think I got the inspiration for the Astor Tunnels? Great story Preston and Child did in there. Their villain reminds me of the TGS character Adrians. And of course Smithback also helped inspire Gary Parker and Prendergast Jenner Slovak. Yes, I have read Reliquary. Everyone else should, too. It is an excellent book.

Hi every one .

Sorry for being away for so long , I have been unjustly punished with two weeks of flu , coming up to a week of cold and so much internet downtime I will eviscerate the ones responsible once they have been disclosed to me . .

I see we have two more members from staff participating in the RP and more on the way , awesome .

Doug : Did you get my E-mail with my review of your stories ? The mail is still giving me a hell of alot of trouble . Happy _VERY_ belated birthday . Have you ever read "Reliquary" ?

Spam - It's not really some advertisment that I keep receiving , it's mail from an internet server that somehow , whether through someone else's being bored enough to set me up with an account where I have to pay , is trying to get me to sign up , but I did'nt sign up or do any of the stuff they said I have been doing , I have'nt even been to their website . Well , I told them that I just would'nt be paying them , let's see them do something about it . (nb : If I am making a mstake please someone let me know , do'nt just laugh at the Jamaican ) .

Newbies / Newcommers / People who have arrived since my last post : Welcome to the collective , resistance is futile .

People who have returned : Welcome back , what took ya .

Jewel : If Nostrodamus will be right , nothing can be done , meaning the future is set , I do'nt believe that , I just beleve that prophecies are just the events which are more likely to happen . Whatever else happens this year , there's going to be alot of death , more than normal , due to the Millenarians . We'll just have to protect ourselves and hope that enough people realize that the millenium starts in 2001 . (I ca'nt believe Ben Stein got that wrong .) Besides , the issue of the difference in time is quite true . Even the Christian B.C. / A.D. system is still flawed fom what I've heard .

Dumlao : Hope the quality of your life gets better soon . You know we all listen willingly when your ready .

Coyote : AAAAAAAH , Hope your eyes recover soon , glasses are'nt too bad , there are worse things . But I still want to get a pair of contacts , preferrably red glow-in-the-dark , cat irises . Now that will help me to make an impression at social gatherings . my vision is fine by the way) .

Wilek + SJ : $I plan to rejoin your group soon , anything I should avoid ?$ needless to say this should best be done by E-mail .

Coyote + Ravyn : Boy ,when it rains , it POURS . In all honesty , though I am happy for you too , it's becoming a significant part of your RP , not a bad thing really , come to think of it ignore the voice your hearing in the background here . Hope this is "The One" for you two . If not , I'm sure you'll be better for the experience . (Forgive the mention of the improbable please .)

Pictures - I see the Phoenix gate pic is back , nuts , I've grown too attached to the Teen Goliath .

RL me : 6 foot 1 , 17 year old , male , . . . . . human . (Despite the Dna tests I still have my doubts . Personally I believe it was one of those transplant the species experiments .)

Jewel : "Even if they have to wave a voodoo chicken's foot over my head ." Oh please , chicken feet and goat heads are considered to be little more than delicious . Tell you what , I can set you up with a Shaman , (Witch Doctor) , easy . Just send me something personal (not too personal please , that cost's extra , a small lock of hair or a sock would do nicely ) . Take care of all those health problems easy after you take the stuff he sends you , along with alot of other issues . And I can get you great deals on other fine products . From Zomby formulaes to hyper itching paste . The reason why I do'nt use him anymore is that I made a bad formulae and his wife had a few issues with her new hooves .

Sorry for the double post, but I wanted to keep this separate from the G99 news.

First, thank you, thank you, thank you for all the comments on "Longest Day." I don't think I've seen one of our stories generate this much discussion in a long while, and it's great to see that people are not only reading, but thinking about things as well. For a while I had gotten worried that this was becoming just an RP room... I'm glad to see peoples still want to talk about the stories, too.

And no, I will not tell you anything about the ending... you'll just have to wait until Monday. :) All I _will_ say is that it was a very fun story to write, and I'm just beyond delighted at the reception it has received.

A few other short comments...

Garg novel > Did I see _my_ name mentioned? As much as I am honored by being included in that group of authors, I think I'll stick with writing fics and filk for right now... and keep my Dilbert day job. If there's a novel in me, I haven't found it yet. :)

Christine > Shh! You're gonna give away all my secrets! :P

RP REQUEST-- Wilek, Coyote, I need a favor from you two. I need you to e-mail me info about your side of the RP. How did it begin, the plot, location, major players, etc. I have a plan brewing in my head when it comes to my character & I'd like to know your sides of the story before I can formulate him well. Thanx.

Grr, time enough to read but not time enough to reply... WHY IS SCHOOL BEING SO NASTY THIS WEEK? At least Friday I know for sure I'll have to opportunity to dodge homework... Time to make one quick note though...

Next weeks ep- I dunno how it ends myself. I haven't even had the chance to even read stuff from like the last month. (I intend to catch up over Sprin Break.) But personally, I always find its a cop out when an episode ends and its just been a dream... That over the edge episode of Batman was SOOOO cool, until it was a dream... Ah well... Of course, I've heard rumors that Mystery Science Theater is going to have their final episode end in Bob Newhart's bedroom...

NOSTRADAMUS'S PREDICTIONS - Actually, I'm a little surprised that nobody yet has tried to hypothesize that "Mabus" might be a typo for "Madoc", a la "Hister" and "Hitler". (Well, the view that we actually took in TGS was that Nostradamus never said anything in his public prophecies about the Second Unseelie War, on the grounds that it would have produced too much panic, but only wrote it down in some private works which he then entrusted with Demona, and she's the only one who's ever read them).

Dumlao's right about television series that do this sort of thing (cf. the "Longest Day Part One" ending). Remember the "Over the Edge" episode of "Batman" where it looked as if it was all over for Batman and Co.? (I wonder if the production team had seen "Future Tense" :)

***MORE SENSELESS RP ALERT!!!***

Gecko, Brooklyn and Darkwing Duck emerge onto the sidewalk. Brooklyn grips Elric's door handle and is about to open it for DW, when Gecko darts past to the side of a gleaming black 1941 staff car and runs his hands over the sides.

GECKO: Can we take THIS instead??

***Pause RP***

CLAN NEWFIE SNEAK PEEK!

Dylan P. Blacquiere presents the following image, drawn by me, as a sneak peek at a brand new character who will appear in an upcoming Clan Newfie fic...AND THAT'S ALL I'M GONNA SAY!!!

***MORE SENSELESS RP***

Brooklyn smacks his forehead. "Geez, Gecko, you never learn..."
From the distance comes the sound of arguing.
"I'm a better pilot than you any day!"
A German voice replies, "In your dreams..."
"Wanna take this to two thousand feet?"
"My pleasure, mein freund, but I've got you wrapped! I'm Stormy's Champion Eternal now!"

GECKO blinks as the two figures come into view.
GECKO (to Wagner) I thought you didnt' WANT to be Stormy's Champion Eternal.
WAGNER: I'm not thrilled about being cosmically connected to you, but I'm NOT giving up my main character status to THIS loser!
BALOO: *rolling up his sleeves* No two bit Hounsland sky jockey is gonna talk to ME like that...

DARKWING DUCK: *To himself* After the heroic masked mallard is
mysteriously transported to an alternate realm, he encounters
three beings unlike he's ever seen before: two seem to be demonic
creatures, one wearing a Smashing Pumpkins tee shirt, the other,
Great Big Sea, and the third, a grotesque humanoid lizard
skaterat--
GECKO: Hey, I resent "grotesque!"
BROOKLYN: I'm not gonna comment.
WHIT: *offers DW a Molsen in his hand.* Hey, me son, ye looks
like ye could use a beer...
*DW looks up at Whit skeptically, then takes the proffered beer.*
DW: Thanks...don't mind if I do...
***PAUSE!***

COYOTE> Heh...forgive me with this, but it has to be said...
SMART-ASS ROKKAN ON HIS FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH GARGOYLES:
=Okay, when's the Lollipop Guild coming out to welcome us to
Munchkin Land?=

I meant no offense or anything...it's just dizzying to think of a 6'+
garg and a 12' Rokkan together for me...physically, I meant.

Heh...I shouldn't talk...Ares' father wasn't too keen after he found
out his girlfriend was half-Sirian...

Oops...another Cyrway spoiler...

***RESUME SENSELESS RP***
*Whit, Brook, Gecko, and DW are all sitting around Cyrway's
apartment, drinking beer and watching the tube. Suddenly, Cal the
Cat comes streaking through the living room, leaps onto the
window sil...only to find that the window is closed. Cal bounces
off the pane, shakes his head, and sulks back into the bedroom.
The four entities stare at him, then resume watching the
boobtube. Suddenly, during the Lawerence/Waterville basketball
game, Hyena jumps out of the crowd and starts beating up on the
Lawerence Bulldog mascot.*

*Cyrway walks in, looks at the screen, cheers for Hyena, then
walks out.*
***PAUSE***

Mandi> And it's good to be back, lemme tell ya...

***RP!***
DW: LOOK!!! There is a crime being committed! We must aid those
poor innoscent bystanders!
GECKO: Yeah, sure...
BROOK: High School basketball...always has some interesting
twists...
WHIT: For kicks and giggles...
GECKO: And consession-stand hotdogs...
BROOK: Let's go...
DW: *jumps up and drapes his cape around his arm.* Then
let's...get...dangerous...TO THE THUNDERQUACK!!!
GECKO: We don't have a Thunderquack.

No more pencils, no more books, no more teacher's dity looks... for today, anyways. :) Snow = no school. :)

"The Longest Day"> Pretty good episode. (No, I'm not gonna be more descriptive, I don't feel like it. :P)

Aris> Oh. Beg pardon for the misinterpretation. It still sounds fascinating. :)

WB Gabriel and SOROW! :)

Bronx Wyvern> No problemo. Glad to help. :)

Fire Storm> I think, even if reduced to quarks, Demona would still return. But it would take a very, very, very long time to come back from that...

Jewel> I've really liked Apokalypsis so far, BTW. Awaiting the next parts eagerly. :) And glad your sickness is waning. <:)
I'd pay to see Spike and Drusilla in Dawson's Creek. ;)

Balt.-Wash. Weather> Aw, come on, don't shoot the messengers. So they made a mistake. Everyone does. No reason to string them up. <:)

Kyryn> Thanks. :) Musta been fun cons. :)
Klingon Energizer Bunny? That I'd like to see. ;)

Wilek> Mr. Freeze and the Borg Queen? Um, er, uh... no. <:) As for van der Beek, I haven't heard of him either- but it doesn't make the story any less funny. ;)
$Avatar of Ganon? Oooh...$

G99> Steve Jackson, too, now? Hm. Becoming quite the celebrity fest. As long as I don't have to pay extra for autographs (like at most cons), I won't mind, tho. :)

AD&D> I used to play this, until some wacky show called Gargoyles became my obsession. ;) I did include a Disney-gargoyle-like race (the 'dargoyle') in my campaign world, and I believe the stats are on my From the Brain of JEB page if anyone's interested. :)

Doug> Thank you. :) Kitania wants to meet ME? o_O I'm shock- er, honored. :)

Nostradamus> I have one problem with the year 1999 in Nostradamus' prophecy (which is in Century X, Quatrain 72 for reference). According to a book I have, _The Complete Prophecies of Nostradamus: The Millenium Edition_, all Nostradaman dates begin from the Council of Nicaea, AD 325. Thus, all year dates are 325 years ahead. They do not note this in the entry for X. 72, but I believe that is a contradictory flaw on their part. So, it is not 1999, but 2224 that the "King of Terror" will arrive. At least, according to that dating method. I believe this is often overlooked because it fits so well with many people's millenial fears (which is more menacing? 1999 or 2224?).

Selanit> Good luck. :)

***BEGIN MR. DISCONNECT RP***

DX, the TGS room administrator, returns from Blockbuster Video and storms the headquarters of the nefarious Mr. Disconnect. As he enters the room through the use of his gattling gun, DC looks at him. "Look, I'm tired of you coming in here and killing me off. Please, just let me be for one day." "Ok," DX says, "but only if you do me one favor." Before our villian speaks another word, DX ties him to a chair and tapes his eyes open in front of a TV with VCR. He then pops in the worst movie ever made, "Burn Hollywood Burn - An Alan Smithee Film", into the tape deck and leaves behind a helpless DC, screaming and begging for the torture to end.

***END MR. DISCONNECT RP***

DOUG-- Thanx. I'll try and continue to enjoy the RP as long as you'll have me. Also, check your e-mail. Thanx.

***BEGIN TGS EP SPOILERS***

THIS WEEK'S EP-- Been reading the comments about the latest TGS ep lately. Frankly, this is cool. I mean, if an episode like this can garner so much fear, hate, anticipation, & talk, then the staff must really be kicking some a$$ here. In any event, it's always a good thing to wait for a conclusion to an episode. And, no, I don't even know the end of this one. As for the issue of confusion, several TV series & movies have done so without explaining things till the end. We call it surprise & suspense. Anyone remember the X-Files season cliffhanger when they made you think Mulder bit the bullet? I'm sure the writers got some hate for that. Anyways, one of your hypothesis about the episode conclusion and the way TGS will go now is correct. Dammed if I know which one it is.

***END TGS EP SPOILERS***

RP QUESTION-- OK, as far as I know, Doug, Kitainia, and Jaden are involved in one RP which I'm currently trying to get into. About everyone else, are you all in different RP universes or is this all one huge interlocking RP with all of you in different sections. Curious. Very curious.

JASON BARNETT-- Just credit us and Disney and Greg Weisman for the characters in Gargoyles and TGS. Credit goes to the TGS as a staff. Individuals are too much to place on paper. Do that and then you can do whatever the hell you want with your story :)

WING COMMANDER-- How close would the movie be to the game? Well, we do have Chris Roberts directing the thing and he was the creator and director of all the Wing Commander games. This should be as close as we get. And for Fox, it's a sure-fire winner. Budget of only $30 million and with the popularity of Freddie Prinze Jr. and Matthew Lillard, that's easy to overcome. Top that with an exclusive showing of the new Star Wars trailer and we can all safely say money in the bank.

WILEK-- About the MP3/ROM list, I had a talk with someone and I felt it's unwise to advertise a listing of my stuff here. Otherwise the men with the handcuffs could come by and confiscate all my gear. However, e-mail me and I can send you a current list of all the goods.

And, about the psionicist thing and the car... I think it's best if I write up a small bio about my character. Dunno if I should post it here or just link to it from somewhere. What's the verdict here?

btw, James Van Der Beek plays the character Dawson Leary in Dawson's Creek. He was also the main actor alongside Jon Voight in Varsity Blues.

BTW, the car I have IRL. I have a Jeep Cherokee Laredo 1996 model. The AutoPC thing was from a music video by Shaq - The Way It's Going Down. He demonstrates one in the beginning of that video with Oscar De La Hoya.

PICS-- I put up a new pic for my posts. It's one I took last night of myself IRL wearing my new sunglasses. Took it with a Sony Camcorder hooked up to my Snappy. Honestly, the pic just scares me, so what I'll do when I get home is change it to a more eye pleasing pic of myself. Maybe my graduation pic when I was wearing a tux.

And, yeah, that's why I have my own personal pic. I run the room maintenance as well as site maintenance. And... because I can :P (j/k)

MANDI-- Yes, you can say that. Otherwise, it's kinda odd for us to hold casting calls a few months back and cease production then.

REMINDER-- Are you posting a skit or an rp or a spoiler to something? Tell us with warnings. Also, don't do them solo. Post something else in that post along with your rp, skit, or spoiler. I can't stress this enough, especially since, whenever I save the CR for the week I get close to 500k each time.

RAVYN & COYOTE-- Um, what happened? (see, this is what happens when even the administrator doesn't pay attention) :P Either way, nah, you two haven't gotten sugar coated yet. & good luck to the two of you... whatever it is you two are doing (embarrasing for me, isn't it :P )

If Alison ever decides to join our little group here, remind me to behave myself. I might end up breaking every single rule I created and more :P

***BEGIN TGS SPOILERS***

AIRWALKER-- Answers to questions.

1- Technically, if they aren't on the planet, they're fine.
2- We never saw a fay outside of earth so we don't know. However, Games Without Frontiers raises a few questions since we did have Brooklyn timetravel to a place outside of earth and the magic that took him there was fay magic. The argument could go either way.

***END TGS SPOILERS***

STEPHEN-- Kick a$$ with the RP. Hope you enjoy it.

DAWSON'S CREEK-- I wonder how much it would surprise people or disgust them if I tell them I'm a huge Dawson's Creek fan. In truth, since I don't have cable, it's practically the only show I watch on a regular basis.

Wow, that was lengthy for me. Oh, wait, one last thing...

PERSONAL FAVOR-- I need a favor from all of you in the comment room. If you have had any relatives or grandparents placed in a convalescent home, whether they are currently staying there or have been released and are home, I need you. I need stories of all sorts from your experiences with convalescent homes, both good and bad. Visiting people, seeing their conditions, staff treatment of the elderly, activities, etc. I need all this for the big 15-20 page final I'm writing for my Gerontology class and it's due the 25th of March at 5PM. I'll be starting research on my own today but any and all info you can give me is great. It might even get used in my report. I need it told via e-mail and I need your real names (first and last), location (city, state) of both where you live and the home the relative was staying at (no names of nursing homes. Anonymity is best kept in this case). Thanx ion advance for the help.

Till next time...

Nostradamus: His prophecies about 1999 is:
"In the year 1999 and seven months
From the sky will come the great King of Terror."
The name of the "great King of Terror" (antichrist #3) is supposed to be Mabus, or something similiar, and I believe born to a Jewish whore (I don't have the quatrain on hand so I can't be sure). After all, he called Hitler "Hister" (antichrist #2) and for Napoleon (antichrist #1)he rearranged the letters. I personally find it creepy that 1999 is the only precise date he ever gave...

Mandi: I can empathsize with the roommate. My freshman year, my roommate was obsessed with "Melrose Place." Uuuugh.

James van der Beek: He's the drip from "Dawson's Creek" and who was in the movie "Varsity Blues." "Ah doan wan' cher laife!"

Elric for little kids ... what a mind-bending concept! Ya know, if it hadn't been so long since I read the books, I'd almost be tempted to take a shot at it! ; )

Wilek > good suggestion (and very sneaky) about going incognito; alas, I am way too keen on being THE Christine Morgan, my ego knows no bounds, mua-ha-ha! Though if I ever did write a full-out romance novel, the alias Serenity Townshend has a nice ring to it ...

Garg novels > a potential downside to that would be, at least for me, the issue of control. As the TGS Team knows, I am bitchy, demanding, and hard to work with. Having other people exerting any sort of control over what I wrote makes me crazy, even (or especially, see that bit about ego above) when they're right. ; )

Doug > Dark Beauty Part One is finished, but I am holding off on posting it until I've finished Part Two, which has not yet been begun. So it'll be a while yet. I'm working on my Black Roses novel currently.

**RP HERE AND THIS TIME I REALLY MEAN IT**

At Thailog's secret base, the bad guys have just seen the Dark Star blow up and there is mass rejoicing (sorry for your loss, Wilek). "I hope my brother made it off okay," Wilek Fieger III chuckles, toasting with a champagne glass. "Doesn't matter," says Kharsus. "Now the greatest threat to our domination of Earth has been removed." "Yes," Thailog agrees with him. "The only thing that remains for us to do now is actually conquer the planet. No one will stop us!" The bad guys share a round of maniacal laughter.

Meanwhile, Doug, Kitainia, and the others are driving through San Francisco towards Marsh HQ. Doug turns from the driver's seat of Jammer's station wagon to make a CR post.

**PAUSE RP**

Good news everyone! Last night I finished the last couple scenes of my next story- "Vengeance" (took off the False part, didn't see how it would fit). I'll probably be posting it tomorrow or later tonight. Then I will start work on "Slayer Senshi."

Bronx: Welcome. Same to all other newcomers.

Theresa: Sorry if I was picking on Godzilla, I just wanted to give her a little feedback on that tale. $ Oh, btw, we shall soon be fighting a Borgified Godzilla in the RP. Let me assure you ahead of time that this monster has nothing to do with our fellow CR poster and friend. $

Fridge: Whoever said you can't live without one in a dorm is right. I had one in my dorm room the first three semesters I was here and for it I was forever grateful (hey, we students need a place to store our sugar and caffeine). I have a larger one in my apartment now and for it I am of course also very grateful. :)

JEB: Glad you've decided to stick with us, though I would have understood if you hadn't. Also glad you'll be at the Gathering. You're high on the long list of people Kitainia wants to meet there. Right up next to Christine, Dumlao, Coyote, and Greg.

Fleur: Hope you get well soon. I know how bad it is to live with sickness.

SJ: I can certainly understand your hatred for little Hollywood pretty boys. I share it, especially for Van der Beek now that I know he's got an ego to rival Jadriel's. I too would like to see Spike and Dru massacre the Dawson's Creek people. (And turn them into vampires which Buffy, my saga's Slayer, and her clan would team up to stake.)

Stephen: $ Welcome to the RP. Hope you enjoy it. <grin> $

Coyote: Glad your eyes are getting better. Actually Kitainia's CR filk is based on a real song called "DJ's girl." Replace Mr. DC with a jerk club bouncer and delete all mention of CR activities, and you got how it really goes. Don't know who sings it but it's pretty good. We've never heard that Fall of Saigon song.

Peter: Thanks for alerting me to the problem. I went and fixed it, the link is showing the right story now. I also sent you a copy of the story in case my fix didn't work, hope you enjoy! And of course, I would appreciate your feedback.

Christine: Rats. I would have really liked to see your stories in novels. Oh well, at least they're still on the Net. Speaking of which, how close are you to finishing the next one?

Green Baron: $ Actually my mother used to have Fonda for a role model, she doesn't now. Mom used to watch all her exercise videos trying to slim down and look like Fonda. I thought the woman was a hag and the videos were a waste of time (back then my mother never stopped complaining about her or others' weight, still doesn't), so I got mad whenever she insisted on making me miss my cartoons so she could watch them. <grr> So Mom doesn't want Jane Fonda's views or personality, just her bod. That's what I meant by role model.$

$ About Geoffrey: Thanks for telling me who it was. I thought it was Fieger. I also thought our RP version of him was killed in the other CR. Looks like we'll have to be doing something about Geoffrey's apparent survival. <maniacal grin> $

SOROW: It was, don't worry. And thanks for the well-wishes!

Heather: Hey, don't feel bad! It was a good RP, we let you get away with it. (Same deal for Selanit, btw.) Hope to soon see more action from you, with comments beside it of course. Just out of curiosity, what'd you think of Kitainia's CD filk?

Wilek: $ Once again, sorry about the Dark Star getting destroyed. I know you weren't planning on that happening. Oh well, at least your new station has an even cooler name. $

Nostradamus: Never read his prophecies myself, so I can't be sure what they foretell for the world. However if what Argent said he thought will be happening in June is part of them, I really hope it doesn't come true. (But if so, Kitainia and I will deal with things, don't worry.)

Spike: Steve Jackson, too? Oh boy, I really want to meet that guy! (My friends and I are AD&D players, but for most of our house rules we were inspired by GURPS.) Thanks for telling us he's coming. And also thanks for the creativity demon that spawned my upcoming story Slayer Senshi. Gore better have your Tuxedo Graeme and Sailor Arianna pics usable in here by the time it's done, I'll want to put one of them next to the plug/announcement.

Deuce: $ It's coming, it's coming. <chuckle> Be glad to see you in the RP soon. When you come in we'll probably still be in or near San Francisco. $

Okay, guess that's all for now. See y'all again after I've read the new episode of Timedancer!

**RP AGAIN**

Doug and the others drive on, still stuck in traffic and heading for the Marsh Building. Little do they know of the trap that awaits them there. Meanwhile, at the secret base, the bad guys are getting ready to ship out for NORAD. The Bishop and Jerry walk through a large group of gang members putting on ceramic-plated armor and fieldstripping AK-47 assault rifles, stopping at the leader- Shauna's old high school nemesis T'angelo. "My friend here will be going with your team to NORAD," Galante tells the gang leader. "I trust you will be able to accomodate him?" T'angelo looks Jerry up and down, his beady eyes smiling. "Yeah," he answers. "Just as long as this religion-crazed pretty boy knows who's the boss." "Hey!" Jerry growls, looking ready to go at him. A tall blondhaired guy with earrings dressed like a volleyball player and his also blond and slut-garbed girlfriend (btw, these are my first roommate Josh and his girlfriend Kathleen, I think I've already talked about the reasons I hate them and will kick their butts in this RP) grab the guy and hold him back. "Calm down," one of Josh's drunk friends snaps at Jerry. "He's right," says the Bishop. "T'angelo's methods may not be orthodox, but he is in charge of your part of the operation." "Okay," Jerry sighs, his face still retaining a little anger. "Fine. You're in charge, 'T'angelo.'" The gang leader gives him a gold-toothed grin. "Glad you know it."

Usual scatterbrained ramblings to follow.

Jewel> <> I sincerely hope it doesn't come to that.

<<For all you <snort> Dawson's Creek fans out there...>>
Mwa ha ha! Oh, if the WB ever aired something like that, I'd probably watch it just for the carnage!

Sorry, I had a Dawson-obsessed roomie for a term, and she drove me crazy with the show. The only time I ever watched it was to confirm what a friend had told me--that the guy who starred in "The Flash" TV series was now playing Dawson's father. Sadly, she was right, and even though "The Flash" wasn't that great, talk about going downhill...geez...

Cyrway> Welcome back! Whoo-hoo! Creativity demons are fun, aren't they?

Allergies> Mine aren't too bad--dustmites and a couple trees I can't recall right now--but I know some people who have serious allergies. The worst is the nut allergy, especially on this campus. No matter how much we harass them, the catering people who feed us continually forget to label food that has nuts in it! It's caused a few of my friends to have serious allergy attacks in the dining hall.

DC deaths> I just may be participating in some next week. Yep, it's Spring Break, which means that a) I'll be back home for a whole week but b) I'll be stuck with Mom's 486. My folks won't let me cart my PC back just for a week-long break...sigh...

Oops. I'd better start working before Jen (my supervisor) comes in again to ask what I'm doing. :)

Somebody has to die. I just heard the Puff Daddy remix of "Perfect". Whoever is responsible will die in a way that makes DC's various dispatchments look merciful.

Eclipse> If you want your posts to be visible, use a unique and bright colour. As far as I know, I'm the only one using "Off Red", which makes it easy for people to notice my posts, and then carefully skip over them in search of something interesting. :-)

BORING! This was so stupid! OK, I'm as much of a 'shipper as the next psycho, but come on: I know what the A-plot was, and it wasn't the Mud Monster. If they keep going too heavy on the "Scully-Mulder thing", it'll ruin it.

Ravyn, Coyote> *shudders, looks away, and is overcome by sugar shock. Grabs a vial of insulin and shoots it up immediately. It doesn't help.* You two are so cute. It's scary.

Robby> You like your English teacher? Lucky you. I got an evil, vampiric woman who seemed nice, but I could see her kneeling over some poor sucker, gnawing at his throat.

New people> *Deuce goes around, collecting the sanity of the various newbies, and puts it in a jar. He then sets the APG to "Limbo IV" and throws the jar in.* Welcome!

SJ> There's no such thing as too much Pokemon, unless you count a cuteness overdose from watching Pikachu. And you're complaining about 6 inches of snow?! God, don't move up here.

Doug> RP? Where? $Oh, BTW, I'll be trying to join the RP over spring break (last week of March). Could you give me some advanced info on where your groups'll be then? I've got an idea to tie into your story. :-)$

Gathering 1999 Updates!!

As reported by Thomas Revor, Jr, G99 Con Chair:
We are now in the final stages of adding yet _another_ con guest: Steve Jackson, owner/creator/designer/etc. for Steve Jackson Games. SJG is most famous for the games Car Wars, the GURPS role-playing system (of which our own Christine Morgan will be using to run a Gargoyles role playing game!), and Matt Bluestone's favorite game, ILLUMINATI!

And we'll see YOU in Dallas!!

The spell in longest day OOPS
************warning longest day uhh discussion
Actually only half the gargoyles would be protected. The stone sleep protects them form the spell, but due to the earths rotation it would be night on half the planet so all those gargs would die. As for Demona and MacBeth well she is taking some precaution sooo I believe she would live and since the spell could destroy all magic the link might be broken and Macbeth might bite the big one. Now here is a question/thought the spell only effects earth right?? So anything off planet would be safe right? Wait the faye live off the ley lines which would be destroyed hmm so they would starve to death (so to speak).
********end
has anyone read the Master of Winterborn the author escapes me, but it was an excellent fantasy book

Well I be glad when lent is over so I can eat meat. This is driving me nuts I taking iron just to get some energy. yep April 10 I going to have one of my famous Bloody Spaniard BBQs Beef ribs, steak ,pork ribs Flank steak for fajitas ,chicken, burgers, hot-dogs, steak Steak uhhhhhh zap frizz dang it drool sh o rt ed out my keyboard:) heck any body in the Chattanooga area come on down, up, sideways whatever

Well, I'm getting more opportunities to post then I thought.
But first things first:
(Argent searches around for Mr. DC for freezing Frognet until about 3:00 in the afternoon. Not feeling particularily creative, Argent drags DC over to a row of inter-dimensional portals.)
"Let's see. Eenie meanie minee moe- Oh skip it. Which one Jewel*D?"
(The Draco snickers mischievously and points at the portal in front of DC.)
"Works for me."
(Shoves DC in, and three voices chorus at his arrival:)
"Helloooo nurse!"
"Will you be our special friend?"
(Argent seals the portal and continues the post.)

GABRIEL> As I recall, Nostradamus' dooms-day prediction is set for June, 1999. Something about the equivalent of WWIII and the world's most powerful nation falling. (gulp)
COYOTE and RAVYN> In case I forgot to say it, you two are a very cute couple!
SJ> (Pokemon-Garg crossover) You wouldn't need to mess with some dimensional crossover. All it takes for the Pokemon gang to end up in NYC is for them to get lost for the ten-zillionth time! [BTW, I forgot to say I was laughing my tail off at the idea of the whole thing!)

**RP!**

[As the Phalanx advance and SJ tries to figure out what Dark Mage Wilek's necklace is doing to Kari...Wilek: "Great, what *else*--" he starts to ask what else can possibly go wrong, then stops himself for fear that an answer will be offered-- "...Administrator, when you assimilated Guod's Borg, did you get their portal technology?" Admin.: "Yes; I have even constructed a working teleportation device." Wilek: "Alright. Rho, lauch the fleet. Administrator, teleport every un-Phalanx-assimilated crewmember on the station, including us, to any ship that'll hold them. Once we're outside the blast radius...we'll scuttle it ourselves; it probably won't respond to the auto-destruct command anymore." Admin.: "Affirmative." Of a moment, Wilek's team finds itself on the bridge of the Eclipse-class command ship Wings Of Anubis.]

**PAUSE RP AND BEGIN DISGUSTING MR. DISCONNECT DEATH!**

[At the Al-Ahram restaurant, a gargoyle waiter brings wine and special dining implements to a large, ornate table with a hole in the center, around which are sitting two couples looking for an unusual dining adventure. Two more gargoyle waiters drag a screaming Mr. Disconnect into the room and put him in the hole, then clamp him around the neck so he can't get loose. As he begins rotating on the turntable he's sitting on, the diners hammer his skull open and begin spooning out and eating bits of his brain.] That's for giving me busy signals for the last two hours every time I tried to log on and for offlining me just now so I had to redial. Don't mess with me.

**END DEATH**

SJ> Forgot this last time: Great Pokemon bit! Except if Ash tried to stuff *me* into a Pokeball, he'd get a beat down he'd never fully recover from. >:) $And it's OK about Rho; I'm starting to realize just how easy his rank is to mistake for a girl's name. Gotta change it soon--[Anoth: "<ahem> <whispers in Wilek's ear>"] No, Anoth. It was *my* fault for not telling--<Anoth gestures slightly, Wilek freezes> [Anoth: "SJ, I recieved my education from the most brilliant tutors in the world, and I attended the finest finishing school in all of Great Britain. I am more dignified than 'what's up'. Thank you. Wilek, you are too forgiving."] <Wilek unfreezes>--him more about...Anoth, if you EVER do that to me or SJ again, I'll kill you off in my ficverse AND this RP in the most revolting manner you can possibly imagine. 'Too forgiving'? This from a Catholic? Yeesh. Sorry about Anoth, SJ; he's absolutely monomaniacal sometimes. He probably takes after his *father* in that respect. <grr> As I said, I know that very minor error wasn't your fault. <glares at Anoth> BTW SJ, Forfexx offers his thanks for the great fun you let him have with the weathermen. He says he got some lovely screams out of them. >:)$

Kitainia> Thanks for clearing that up! :)

Allergies> When the guy who owns a nearby farm starts cutting hay is when my allergies start acting up. Sometimes I get exhausted just from sneezing.

James Van Der Beek> Am I the only one here who's never heard of this guy? (Hm, Van Der Beek would make a kewl surname for Brooklyn. ^_^)

Even more newcomers> Welcome one and all! And don't mind the gators; they're friendly.

Gargs novel> YEAH! I'd write one if I could do it in less than, oh, the 150-odd years that this particular gargoyle has left (barring illness and injury).

Christine> Well...if you decide to go for it anyhow, maybe you should change the headers of all your fanfics so that they're written under an alias instead of your real name. That way, if anyone finds any naughty Gargs stories on the Net, they can't be traced back to you. It'd help if you got another e-mail address to go with the alias. (Dang, I have a sneaky mind. ^_^)

Steve> <<Or maybe I should just keep it>> Go ahead; I have lots. :)

Cyrway> Welcome back! <<And Godzilla was asexual...at least according to the recent movie>> Actually, he started out a male, but he had the capability to become hermaphroditic (a synthesis of both genders) in a single-gender environment. There are a lot of real reptiles or amphibians (I forget which) that can do this.

Coyote and Heather re DC RP> Aw, don't beat yourselves up; it was just a small mistake. Besides, DC deserved it. :)

**COMMENT WITH SPOILERS**

Airwalker> <<I could picture Elisa, Macbeth, and a few others touched by magic (various humans and one or two fay - probably Coyote and Grandmother) standing on an orbital platform looking down on the earth, watching a green wave sweep across the planet>> WOW. I'm tempted to have someone cast the spell in my own ficverse, just to write a scene like that. I already have an orbital platform...

**END SPOILERS**

Kyryn> Klingon Energizer Bunny?! LOL! I can just see it..."It keeps on fighting, and fighting, and fighting, and fighting, and fighting, and fighting, and fighting..."

The most bizarre creativity demon I've ever had> Wouldn't Mr. Freeze and the Borg Queen make a cute couple?

**RESUME RP!**

[Wilek: "Where are the MG5Ks?" Rho: "That's the one good thing about this whole situation: we got the beacon planted and the MGs are on their way back to Earth. We can find them any time we want and they don't know it. And they think we don't have a station anymore; they don't know about the Avatar Of Ganon." Wilek: "Ok. Let's...let's get this over with." Rho: "Right...All ahead full." Once the ships are at the proper range..."All Eclipses: Turn and fire superlasers. Full power, narrow spread." Wilek closes his eyes and tuns his head; he doesn't want to see the death of the Dark Star. Out the starship's window, the crew can see Phalanx machinery sprouting from the Dark Star's surface just before it's blown to stardust; Wilek sheds a single tear. Teri: "What's wrong?" Wilek: "I...I guess I'm just going to miss it. It's been through so much; served so well...and to be taken down like *this*..." Wilek opens his eyes, which glow as his mood now shifts from mournful to vengeful... "When we're done with Thailog...we will destroy the entire blasted Phalanx race."]

Grumble. That was for crashing Windows 98 and making me reload it on one of the library computers this afternoon.

Aris> Well, I oopsed. My copy of the Edda is at home - in Denton - about 350 miles from where I currently am. It looks like Todd got you your answer though. If you're willing to wait until Saturday night (US central time), I should be able to double check that though. Let me know.

JEB> The costume was originally premiered at TexTrek in the Dallas area 1993, but I missed the masquerade because it wasn't quite done on time. The second one was at Galaxy Fair in Dallas 1994. I actually hadn't intended to enter the contest, since I was performing in a play right before it (the play was a crossover of Forever Knight, Doctor Who, and Star Trek Next Generation - The Forever Knight Dinner Theatre), but they needed more people for the contest. I won the Male Judges' Room Key Award. The final one was at Stellar Occasion 4 in Dallas 1997 and Mhyrr was the emcee for that one. I won the Most Humorous Award for the Klingon Energizer Bunny. *grin*

**LATEST EP SEMI-SPOILERS***

I agree with Fire Storm. Demona would kill herself permanently, even in human form. She is casting a spell that has a direct effect on MacBeth. I would think that would count. BTW, this is my own opinion and not reflective of TGS staff.

**END SEMI-SPOILERS***

**SMALL RP**

Kyryn is seen in the corner, talking to a green-skinned, white haired female gremlin. The gremlin has a huge wrench in one hand and a shotgun in the other. "Right, Cypher. You know what to do if any of those evil gremlins show up? Cypher grins and hefts the shotgun. "Mr. Rocksalt here provides a pretty good incentive. I just can't let those evil creatures smear our reputation." "Good." Kyryn and the gremlin leave the CR**

***BEGIN RP****
SJ can be heard swearing a blue streak as he returns from the bio-lab.
"What's up?" Anoth asks him.
"Well, I finally developed something to wipe out those nasty mutant hornet thingies. But, of course, that was before the Phalanx infected the system."
"We know," Anoth replies. "It looks like we're going to have to evacuate and destroy the station."
"Well, we've got a problem. Cause, you see, some more Phalanx drones have been created....AND THEY'RE RIGHT BEHIND ME!!!"
Everyone turns to see a dozen drones begin to advance on their position....
"Ah, fudge. Looks like we got ourselves a fight on our hands!" Wilek says, his jaw set.
***PAUSE RP****

*ahem* This is not an RP. It's a little game I like to call:

LET'S KILL THE WEATHERMAN.

**SJ lines up the various weathermen from the Washington D.C. area. He blindfolds them, gives the smokers a cigarette, and then reads them their last rites. "I'll be borrowing Forfexx for a bit. Oh, Mr. Forfexx?" he calls. Forfexx appears, a grin on his face. SJ waves his hand at the weathermen, all of whom are sweating with fear. "If you would, good sir."
"No problem."
Five minutes later, there's nothing but a red smear where the weathermen were.
"Thanks."
"Anytime."

FLURRIES. That was the forcast from the morons here in the nation's capital. What we got was SIX freakin' inches of snow. I couldn't do crap, couldn't go anywhere....I had a whole day planned. Now I had to spend the day playing Playstation, when I did want to go spend it elsewhere.
Plus, there's the fact that, for some unknown reason (I'm suggesting inbreeding, but I can't prove it) people lose about 100 IQ points the minute the first flake falls. "Oh my God, what's that white stuff??" Traffic here was backed up for miles.
It'd be cool if I got the day off from school. Thing is, I didn't have any classes today anyway. I HATE you, D.C. weather team! Screw you AND your Doppler 4000!!
****END WEATHER RANT****

Wilek: Sorry, I was confusing your Rho with the Star Trek "Ensign Rho Laren". Sorry, honest mistake! :)

Deuce: Funny thing is, after I wrote that Pokemon bit, I actually scared myself. Cause I think, maybe it could be done. Imagine! Some weird dimensional hiccup sends Ash and the gang to Manhattan....they mistake Gargoyles for Pokemon....fun ensues!!!
Ah...maybe I've been watching too much of that show. ;)

Green Baron: Politics doesn't bore me, but political shows usually do. I steer clear away from them. But I do find Chris Matthews to be a good guy. I do believe he is a Democrat, but he was remarkably fair and equitable to the conservatives during the whole entire Bill Clinton scandal/impeachment, unlike some other "analyzists"....like you Geraldo! :[

Jewel: Hey, that's an episode of Dawson's Creek I may actually watch!

*****RESUME RP****
"Um, SJ" Kari calls out. She's staring at her necklace...the necklace that SJ gave to her during Jim's last party....the same necklace he in fact picked up from Dark Mage Wilek......the necklace is now glowing, light eminating from the various jewels on it's surface.....
"Not now, Kari, we're about to fight the bad guys!"
"Um.....I don't think this can wait...."
"What are you talking abou--WHOA!" SJ turns to see Kari engulfed by the light of her necklace....she begins to glow with an odd blue light.....
"I....I don't feel too good." she mutters....

Southard and party are camped some distance away from the collapsed entrance of the cave, still wondering what they can do...

However, a lone figure standing next to a by-now recognizable hoverbike on a high bluff is watching them through a pair of high-powered binoculars...

(shaking head) "I should have known... looks like trouble just seems to follow you around, eh Dog-Boy?"

He swings the binocs over the grounds around the plane, thumbing a switch on the side to engage the magnetic-resonance setting.

"Well... a lot of metallic silicates in the rocks around here. Hello, hello... a pair of small concentrations of metal, about a mile or so down... Now, how do I get down there?"

The tall man continues to look over the surrounding land area.

"There has to be a venting tunnel or two that leads into that cave... otherwise, those two are going to be suffocating by now." (pauses) "A-ha! Jackpot!"

With that, the tall man puts the binoculars away, turning to mount his 'bike...

Are you going? Are you gonna meet her there? Huh? Huh? Come on... <G>

<>TGS SPOILERS<>

Demona: I think that she would DEFINATELY be destroyied by the spell. Not only is she SUSTAINED by magic and USES magic, using the spell would kill MacBeth. He has also cast a few spells, AND is also sustained by magic.
So when Demona killed MacBeth, she would die.
(Of course, this also brings up the discussion of what EXACTLY do they mean by killing MacBeth? would it count if she:
...hired a hitman?
...a Nightstone building fell on him?
...a Nightstone part in a airplane failed and caused the distruction of the plane?

<>END SPOILERS<>

Also, what about if she was EXTREMELY killed? (eg. 10 feet from a 1 megaton nuclear detonation, fell into the sun, fell out of Earth orbit and burned on re-entry)
Would her molecules re-form back into Demona?
If not, would MacBeth die due to her EXTREME death?

Newcomers: Welcome to the madness. We hope you stay for a long long time. :)

Involvement in Heather's DC death: For my part in it, I completely apologize for encouraging Heather to post an all-RP post. But I thought it would be fitting for her to come to Robby's aid and kill DC. I take full responsibility.

Glasses: I'm slowly getting back into the hang of wearing them. Though I must say, it is very nice to be able to see clearly with more than one eye at a time. :)

I too would like to thank all of you who have given myself and Ravyn well wishes. I think that's why we like you guys so much. **grins, hugs Ravyn, then shrugs** What can I say? Except thank you.

Gargs novel: Christine, you ain't the only one who would be willing to write some for a Gargs novel series. You may be too chicken to approach them, but I'll back off from no man or corporate mutant mouse! (And believe me, if I get the chance to propose the novel series, your name (among others) would be the top of the list.) **calls to everyone else** The line forms behind us!! :)

Wilek: No problem. **reads vial** Yeah, it's right. :)

Jewel: Myself not being exactly the greatest fan of James Van Der Beek, I found that little story *extremely* funny! :)

Steve Gooch: Actually, my problem is that I would wind up with deposits forming on the contacts themselves, which in turn would cut the surface of my eyes ... and then the dust that gets kicked up around my workplace gets in the cuts and screws my eyes up royally. Eee ... now I see my problems are pretty minor compared to yours with contacts.
No microwaves? Geez ... what, they have gold-plated carpeting in your room or something?! :)

Cyrway: I don't doubt you're excited ... seeings as how you submitted so many characters you have at least four on every party! ;)

**POSSIBLY OFFENSIVE MATERIAL AHEAD WHILE I TRY TO ANSWER CYRWAY'S QUESTION!!**

As far as your concerns about Rokkan/Gargoyle interactions ... I apologize for the unintentional double-entendre of this upcoming statement, but size doesn't matter!! **ducks rotten produce tossed from other CR posters** Seriously, though ... the scenes with Graeme and Liberty holding hands have occurred when one or both have been on the ground (once with Liberty sprawled in front of the Castle's refrigerator, and once when they both were dug out of the alley cave-in). As far as Samson and Thorn goes, well, with some guys it's a turn-on to be seduced by a tall (or taller) woman. That's part of what Demona was thinking.

**POTENTIALLY OFFENSIVE MATERIALS END HERE!!**

What I'm basically saying here is that just because the gargoyles would be considered midgets compared to the Rokkans, that *doesn't* mean that, say, Liberty and Graeme can't get together.

Ravyn: **hugs her again, sticks in a couple kisses just for fun :)**

**RESUME RP!!**

**Coyote and Ravyn have traveled a full mile through slick, treacherous rock formations. Ravyn is starting to slow down.**

You all right?

<"My feet are hurting a little ... really hard to do this with bare feet, y'know.">

**nods** Take the flashlight.

**Ravyn takes the flashlight from Coyote, then lets out a soft shriek as Coyote picks her up.**

<"What're you doing?">

Giving you a rest. Don't worry about it, you ain't heavy.

**Ravyn grins, giving Coyote a hug before putting the flashlight ahead of them to continue on their way through the cavern as the screen winks off.**

If I didn't like my English teacher so much, I'd hate him for giving us this nasty, multi-hour consuming project right before Spring break. As it is, I don't even have time to stop and read the room, this is just a ten minute break. Argg... I suppose I'll have some catching up to do around Thursday or Friday. Eesh, I'm gonna be busy with homework until then. Thats just sick.

**Comments on Current TGS Episode included in this comment**

Steve Gooch and Wilek - I don't think that Demona's spell to destroy all magic would mean the doom of the Gargoyle race. According to the story itself, Gargoyle users of magic wouldn't be effected by the spell because they would be in stone sleep since the spell can only be cast on the longest day of the year. The spell only means doom for Fay and for humans who have come in contact with magic. So it doesn't matter that Angela knows magic or that Gargoyles worldwide have a spell of humility cast on them, the Atlantis spell wouldn't effect them. Now would it effect Demona? That's in question since she is human during daytime. (I think that it might kill her in human form but the moment that sunset rolled around she would transform into her gargoyle form and wake up. Magic is all about loopholes. This one looks good.)

I do wonder about two things though:

1. What if you removed those beings touched by magic from the planet? If someone like Elisa or Macbeth wasn't on the planet when the spell is cast then is it possible that they wouldn't be effected by it? (I could picture Elisa, Macbeth, and a few others touched by magic (various humans and one or two fay - probably Coyote and Grandmother) standing on an orbital platform looking down on the earth, watching a green wave sweep across the planet destroying almost all magic except for them and the gargoyles magic users planetside.)

2. In TGS is the magic that the Fay and other magic users draw on linked to the earth? If Oberon was to go off planet would he lose all his powers and just become a tall blue skinned person? If Demona was to cast this spell and a few Unseelie managed somehow to get off the planet, would they still have magic or do they only have power if they stay on earth?

Airwalker> after reading your spoilers i felt alot better because i forgot about the separate dimentions, and the fact that Broadway and Angela would be still alive at that time.

*** MORE SPOLIERS ON "The longest Day"***
After rereading it slowly, taking every detail (oh geez I'm pathetic) I can finaly place some good comments. I liked the story up to the part were Mave had the artifact to destroy the beloved island. What I didn't like was the fact that the details of the earthquake wasn't inculded,(but hey, the story was long...84pgs.) Lex's death wasn't very fair, the poor guy, alot of things changed him, death should've been one. Also, I had no problem with Fox and Xanatos making out, it's like any normal Ally Mcbeal show or Melrose place. A few questions I would like to see answered is our dear Puck still alive? With Alex and family M.I.A I think that there is a good chance Puck wiggled his nose and saved them. With the many deaths in the story, and me being a soft romantic type.. I hope that Elisa & Goliath
aren't truly dust... ::::::sighs:::: One can only hope, and wait till monday!

Longest day> I'm not spoling cause I haven't read it yet but if as someone said, it has MacBeth in it, then by the gods I gotta read it soon. It's a matter of honor and stuff but mostly cause I may have to update my webpage now which tells everything that happens to the guy. A two parter wow. hehe. Gonna read it tonight then.____Gargoyles Book> Hell yah! The first season of Pendragon is essentially a novel in the making peoples.____*WARNING: MONOLOGE* I just finished reading the book "The Faraway Lurs" for the third time. Definitely the Bronze Age version of "Romeo and Juliet" tale. The first reading all I could think about was the sadness of the story. The second time, the happiness. And now this third time, the concept of destiny and fate rang through my mind. I do recomend you other people read it. The paranoia of a 'blood curse' between Troll Tamer and Great Elk reminds me greatly of Dragon Heart and/or City of Stone when I think about it. *END MONOLOGE* ___Ryvern> Here's a big of chocolates (gives her it) Now listen to me a moment cause my roleplay was ruined and I wanna make sure at least someone understands I am MacBeth's watcher and Dawn Angela is Demona's watcher and that Joe Dawson knows nothing about either us or the immortals we watch. Got that (pats her head and leaves)

I still can't feel my right cheek! And my spring show...WOW! It was awesome and I didn't mess up once! Thanks to all who wished me luck cause it really meant a lot to me.

Doug> I am sooooooooo sorry about not getting to wish you a happy birthday cause I knew when it was! So Happy Belated Birthday and I hope it was a wonderful one :)

Lexy> About your survey... I couldn't help but notice the comment on what jobs the Trio would have if they were human. I just have to comment cause I always thought about it too. It's obvious that Lex would probably a computer lord and Broadway would be either a detective or chef(or both), but I always pictured Brooklyn as the first huge gargoyle music artist! Trust me, I would be his number one fan :)

To all the new people in here> You won't get anything but happiness and love from me cause I have this really annoying high on life. Welcome!

Since it's spring break for me(no school) I will make a point to post as much as possible and catch up on everything. Can't wait to the new TD ep and it's good to be back. Gathering 99 will rock! OKIloveyoubyebye!

RAGNAROK SURVIVORS - As I recall, the seven gods who survived Ragnarok (actually, only five of them were true survivors of it) were:

1. Hoenir (Odin's younger brother, a bit of a non-entity who was always in his shadow).

2. and 3. Vidar and Vali (two of Odin's minor sons; Vidar slew the Fenris-wolf after it ate Odin by putting his foot down on its lower jaw, pulling hard on its upper jaw simultaneously, and riiiiip!)

4. and 5. Modi and Magni (Thor's sons).

6. and 7. Balder and his blind brother Hoder, who are both restored to life after Ragnarok is over. (Their being actually brought back to life puts them in a category separate from the other five gods, who apparently avoided being slain altogether).

One other survivor, among the monsters, is the dragon Nidhog, who gnawed eternally at the roots of Yggdrasil. He apparently never actually got to the fighting.

There was, by the way, a very good series of books begun but never finished dealing with the Norse myths and leading up to Ragnarok, by one Thorarinn Gunnarson; alas, only the first two ("Song of the Dwarves" and "Revenge of the Valkyrie") were ever published. They combined the traditional Norse myths of the gods with the story of Andvari's Ring made famous by Wagner's Ring cycle, and even included a few touches from Wagner himself. The books were very good and had a particularly effective portrait of Odin, that I'll get more into later. However, they never reached Ragnarok itself, although they included an effective forecast of it.

I don't know what the status of Ragnarok is in the Gargoyles Universe, myself. Odin is still around, of course, so it probably hasn't happened yet. But who knows?

GARGOYLE NOVELS - If we're going to get any official ones, Greg should at least direct their overall movement. But as somebody (I forget who) pointed out, first we've got to convince Disney that there's an adult audience for those books out there.

**Coyote and Ravyn are now trapped in total darkness. Rav runs to the mouth of the cave, which is now sealed off by large boulders, and tries to push on them.**

"Rrr! They're not budging, Coyote!" **trying to push again, she panics.** "We're trapped!"

**A warm hand finds Ravyn's in the dark, and Rav immediately calms. Although neither one can see it, both Coyote and Ravyn are grinning widely as they hold hands.** <"It's gonna be okay, Rav."> Coyote says. <"We'll find a way out of this.">** **END SHORT RP!**

Ok, my last comment today.

JEB> Not really death of the gods. For that check Jewel's last story 'Apokalypsis'. The story I'm planning concerns mainly the *birth* of the gods and the power struggles that lead to Oberon and Titania becoming king and queen of the third race - in that way it's more similar to one of Nancy Brown's stories and parts of TGS's 'Rising'. Though I've mentioned Ragnarok several times, it will be an relatively small part of the story. But I've still not worked out the details - for example I'm not certain if there were two or three wars of the fays before the 'present' time.

But I think I've said enough about a story which is not yet certain to be written. The next time you hear about it, will most probably be when I announce either my completing it or my abandoning it.

Hi you all, I'm back and, well, I haven't read the last weeks CR 'cause of few time and acess and so I'm not actually informed about whats going on. My execusion if I cross over with some comments.

GREETINGS TO ALL NEW AROUND

DX: Hope your Dad will be OK then.

Heather: like the pic.

****SPOILER NEW EP****
Now this was an strange one. The first part was very well, especially to see Dracon and the Yakuza again and to know that Demona is still closed to Andrea and it there was this funny scene in the auditorium. But the last part? What was that?
At first I thought it was future but like others said there were cross-overs with TD which wouldn't work, especially that that Demona will become close to the clan again and Broadway and Angela have kids. And there is a missing month between the two parts. I can't imagine the staff would let happen it that fast, or even kill the main charakters. And where are the other involved parties like New Olymp and the Pendragon Crew? There have to be good guys around who won't let this happen (I HOPE!).
It could be a dream, but of whom? The only persons who were there all the scene were Angela and Broadway. Perhaps of Broadway because of his illness?
And it could be something like a vision perhaps of Demona but as what said the spell would kill her too, so why would it be necessary?
After all I think this was one of he best eps I had read because there so many posibbylities and in contrast to TD there isn't the knowing that all will went well.

Question: Michel (I thought Nostradamus) is mentioned very often now. I think I remember that there was a important prophecy for August 1998 but I don't know exactly or if it has anything to do with this ep. Perhaps anyone around is knowing it?
****END SPOILER****

Godzilla: I liked your fic, but i agreed with the others to set warnings.

Ok that's all for now. Hope have soon time again to visit.

We got out early from school due to snow, and my work-study gave us the day off. :) Happy day. :)

Godzilla> I like the fiction. Quite good. :) And since you know not to do that again, I won't hold anything against you. :)

DumlaoX> Sorry to hear about all the rough times. But I'm glad to hear your dad's recovering well.

Wing Commander> I'm not holding high hopes for this film. It looks a lot like Lost In Space (which fell far below its potential).

Allergies> Thank the powers I don't have any. Except for the fact that perfumes and colognes make me turn red and my eyes to water.

X-Files>
*SPOILERS* An interesting episode. :) I liked the idea of the Ubermenscher/Talpa. And there were some winning lines between Mulder and Scully. :) What's creepy is that there's a community nearby us that is similarly restrictive on what you can have outdoors and all... *END SPOILERS*

'Tis a pity to lose Kubrick and DiMaggio.

Kyryn> Heheh, sound like fun skits. :) What cons were these at?

Cyrway> Welcome back to the room! :)
Darkwing Duck? You liked DW too, eh? :)

Welcome aboard, Bronx Wyvern. :) As for what free server to move to, I recommend Xoom (www.xoom.com). Minimal ads (on the site anyway), and relatively reliable.

ED> Nice to see you around- you've been quiet lately.

Ravyn and Coyote> Glad y'all are happy together. :)

Fleur> Oy. Hope ya get better soon. <:)

Sevarius Jr.> That Pokщmon-Gargs bit was perfect. *grins* When ya gonna write the whole thing? ;)

Stephen> Thanks. :) You too are joining the RP? Heh, soon the whole room'll be at it. :)

Wilek> Thanks! :) $And here I also thought Rho was male. <:) Thanks for the correction. :)$

Aris> Oooh... death of the gods in a Gargoyles story? Sounds fun... :)

Jewel> (regarding van der Beek) Heheheh. Arrogant celebs needs a nice ego-gutting every once in a while. >;)

I'm the blond one...

*Sounds of fighting are heard in the closet.*

Coyote> I've never been so excited to read someone's fanfic as I am
for WCC...

Okay, I lied. But at least I don't have your phone number to pester
you to finish fanfics like I do Stormy and Whitbourne. :P

*Gecko and Brooklyn trod in, looking bored.*
GECKO: Cyrway, we're bored, and your cat's going psychotic again.
ME: There's some old TMNT and Gargoyles eps in the video shelf. Go
watch them.
BROOK: Yeah, let's watch old memories of what life was like
before Cyrway's fanfiction...
GECKO: Well, look on the bright side...we might get to see the cat
fall into the toilet again...

Godzilla> Interesting fic, if I do say so myself...I think Thailog
repented a little too quickly, if you ask me...but otherwise very
good. And Godzilla was asexual...at least according to the recent
movie... ;)

Gargoyles as a novel> A little side-track, but those who are
familiar with Michael Moorcock (my inspiration and favourite
published author) will get this. I think Disney would be as likely
to put out a novel of Darkwing Duck as they would Gargoyles. To
Disney, the most an animated series could be are the Golden Books
for children. I for starters couldn't do it. It would be like trying
to make Elric for little kids.

*Whitbourne shouts from the bathroom "BOOZE AND SMOKES FOR MY
LORD ARIOCH!!!" There is a splash following.*
BROOK: *deadpan* Whit fell in.
GECKO: He's your nephew.
WHIT: It wasn't me, it was the cat.
*Cal the Cat sulks out of the bathroom, shaking his paws of the
access water.*

Art> One thing I learned while making character sketches: Never
draw a cute 10-year-old equiv. gargoyle named Gabe and show it to
your best friend, then tell her that's the kid who dies in a Shocker
raid. You usually end up being forced to write him in in an
alternate timeline in which the Clone Wars still went on...ooops!
*claps hand over mouth.*

Coyote's Eyes> Ack. Now that I've gotten used to my contacts, I
have a hard time adjusting with my glasses. I notice it a lot when
I'm driving. This weekend I was really sick, and had to wear my
glasses. Everything seemed so warped...and I almost drove off the
road in Albion because I misjudged the turn I've made a
hundred-thousand times before...of course, I was on the verge of
loosing the dry toast I had that morning, too...

GECKO: And driving 75 MPH in a 45 MPH zone...
BROOK: Typical Cyrway...

***CLAN MANHATTAN SERIES SPOILER***
Another thing I've noticed, Coyote, while reading your fics,
interaction between Rokkan/Gargoyle, for instance, Samson and
Thorn, and, of late, Liberty and Graeme, seem a little weird to me.
You told me when I did the pic of Liberty the Rokkans were about
12' tall...almost twice the size of a normal gargoyle. There was a
scene where Liberty and Graeme were holding hands, and it just
struck me as kind of awkward...
***END SPOILER***

Jonathan from NZ> Thank you so much!!! You saved me and Stormy
so much work re-editing AA!

*Brooklyn starts cackling hysterically.*
BROOK: *to Gecko* I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS EPISODE!!! YOU'RE SO
CORNY!!!
GECKO: *under his breath.* I can't believe Cyrway still has
"Michaelangelo meets Mondo Gecko" after all these years...
*Suddenly, a cloud of gas billows from the corner of the room.*
COOL ECHOING VOICEOVER: "I AM THE TERROR THAT FLAPS IN THE
NIGHT..."
*BROOK, GECKO, and WHIT stare at each other, all in total
confusion.*
COOL ECHOING VOICEOVER: "I AM THE HANGNAIL IN THE FINGER OF
CRIME!"
GECKO: I could add on to that one...
COOL ECHOING VOICEOVER: "I AM DARKWING DUCK!!!"
*From out of the cloud emerges a three-foot duck in a purple
costume and mask.*
GECKO: Well...I'm scared...
CYRWAY: Oh, wow! It's the Champion Eternal from my
seventh-grade fics!
*GECKO's and BROOK's eyes bulge out.*
BROOK: You mean...?
GECKO: I think I could deal with the Kraut better than this...
WHIT: Where is Wagner, anyway?

*Cut to Wagner's Mercedes, with him, Rommel and Mauser singing
"Demona's a Bitch" in D minor.*

...TO BE CONTINUED...

Eclipse: The characters pics are from The Gargoyle Saga. All the people, animals and gargoyles have been used in previous episodes. There are no "personal" pictures here (except for DumlaoX and that's because he moderates the room)

TGS gets a credit as TGS. We are a group with revolving membership. All original characters portrayed in TGS belong to TGS. All canon character portrayed in TGS are TGS's interpretation of the canon characters. The original Gargoyles characters belong to Disney and are used without permission.

Hope that helps.

All right, I'm finally going give in to the temptation. I'm going to write a Mr. DC RP!

*** MR. DC RP ***

Selanit pops into existence above Mr. DC's head, and floats there humming. Mr. DC looks up. "Ah! You! You're a new one! Well, let's get it over with."

Selanit glances at Mr. DC, puzzled. "Get what over with?"

"Come on, don't be cruel. You're here to kill me; so do it and let me get on with my life!"

Selanit laughs. "Kill you? Why would I do a thing like that? Why, just the other day you saved me from making an idiot of myself in the chat room by disconnecting me before I could post a really stupid note! Thanks!"

"I said, thanks. I appreciate it."

Mr. DC recoils in pain. "I've got it -- you're trying to kill me with kindness, aren't you????"

"What is it with you and this killing thing? Sheesh. I'm leaving." This said, Selanit pops back out of existence.

Mr. DC wobbles uncertainly, trys to figure it out. Unable to comprehend that someone might not want to kill him, he dies of confusion.

RP WARNING!!
**
Dairy Queen near Wall Street, New York

Warren Buffet is having lunch with Alan Greenspan and a lovable mature cat in a minister's collar.

Warren: Well, Attila I admit that Ted Turner has been a disgrace to capitalism and human decency. I'll talk to Peter Lynch about encouraging all investors to do a massive sell-down of Time Warner Turner. Then, let's hope someone other than Eisner buys them. I'll work with Rupert and Motehr Angelica to take over Time Warner. Berkshire Hathaway could use their industry.

Alan: I see. Once your plant transfer Ted Turner's assests to bonds, I will raise interest rates to 25% and then your plant will sell the bonds at a huge discounts destroying Ted's personal fortune. Then, I will restore interest rates to their normal level.

Attila: Meow!! Yes, that is perfect. I now have to contact Bill Gates and Steve Forbes. Let's call this "Operation Revenge of the Nerds" or "Advanced Finance 645: Insider Trading for the good of humanity."**

Doug> $From your description of your mother I am surprised she would fashion herself after Jane Fonda. If that's the case, I'm surprised your politics aren't to the right of mine as a protest to such views :) My motehr just had a crush on William F. Buckley since she was ten. Geoffrey the Bigot is Geoffrey Fieger, the evil lawyer.$

Sevarius Jr> Politics put you to sleep? Personally, I love politics, but I'm wierd. Chris Matthews is pretty cool an dI think he hosted Crossfire for a time. I also like Ken Hamblin, Cokie Roberts, Sam Donaldson, and Tucker Carlson. I'd love to see all of them on McLoughlin group. Pat Buchanan may be a nut, but his sister Bay is also pretty cool. I can't wait for both of them to be on teh same show together. I've been wondering if they try to keep those two from being on the same talk show.

Actually, the Drudge Report contains some nice information and many columnists, like Larry King, Chris Matthews, and another favorite of mine, Arianna Huffington.

Kitainia> $ You can use them too, though I will let you know if they get out of character :) $

Mandi> I'll agree that the movie was well done and since it's Hollywood and Meathead, I knew how the politics would turn out and that it would be a big Clinton endorsement. What I really disliked about Dreyfuss's character is that it was a delibarate attack on Bob Dole, who is an honorable good-natured individual and he's not some rabid anti-Clinton attack dog (in fact, he's helping Clinton big-time with Kosovo). There are some things that really get to me, and that was one of them.

Steve Gooch> 1/8 English. I have some English blood, but I try to beleive it's Briton and not Anal-Saxon :)

Requiest in Pacem Stanley Kubrick and Joe DiMaggio.

Aris> Wagner's Ring Cycles is a good story about Raganrok,a dn soem of it was based on history, like Gunther and Gertrune were leaders of a village that had a run in with my hero, Attila the Hun.

Jewel> LOL. People with that big an ego need some deflation. I hope you feel better soon.

Re: GARGOYLES IN NOVEL FORMAT: I agree with Christine! If Disney ever gave the go-ahead on that, I'd be begging Greg to let me write at least a few short stories, if not a full novel.

I can also concur with you Chris, on the fact that I have enough fanfic to fill one novel of my own. But, if I was to ever approach Disney with the proposal to do the series that way, I'd rather convince them to let me - and I apologize ahead of time if this offends anyone - buy up TGS and have it printed instead.

Well, that's all for me now, except for...

***** SHORT RP SEGMENT *****

Somewhere in the Mid-West...

As his 'bike hovers on idle nearby, the tall man kneels down to examine some spent bullet casings, lining half covered in the sand. Picking one up, he examines it for a moment, before flipping it like a coin; the casing making a PING! as his thumbnail flicks it.

"Well... looks like you gave as good as you got, Dog-Boy," he says with a crooked smile, the name spoken with familiar warmth than out of spite. "I just hope you and your lady friend are still alive by the time I catch up with you."

With that, the tall man stands up and heads back to his 'bike. Mounting it with a easy motion, he kicks it back onto it's anti-grav "foot, and points it towards the west, gunning the engine as he heads out in a grade-a, number-one b-for-boogie burst of speed...

Hey all,

Coyote RE eye problems > I know what you mean. The first time I got contacts two years ago, I made the mistake of getting this cheap brand that totally irritated my eyes and caused some kind of... how'd the optometrist put it?... "epithelial infiltrates" to collect on my corneas. So I was without them for about a year until that cleared up, only to have it resurface while I was at school. Seems it'll never end, so glasses it is for now. You have my sympathies.

And no, my hall doesn't serve meals, but yes, they do allow fridges. Right now mine's fully stocked with be- uh... *milk,* yeah, milk. :) 'Course, they don't let us have microwaves, so to cook anything I've got to walk down four flights of stairs to get to the kitchen.

JEB > Glad to hear you're still with us! :)

"Hey, Wilek, I guess you'll be needing this assimilation gear back, now, huh? ...Or maybe I should just keep it..." :)

Rebecca > Sorry, but this isn't the place responsible for making new episodes. Fan fiction stories, yes. But the show's been cancelled. You could consider writing to Disney, however. (Oh, and welcome to the CR. Check your sanity over there with Mr. Deuce.)

Garg novels > I think Greg once voiced enthusiasm for continuing the show in book form, if Disney would let him. Personally I think it's a great idea.

***SPOILERS FOR 'THE LONGEST DAY PART ONE'***

What can I say? I flat-out loved it. I was about a third of the way into it and was enjoying it so much, I glanced at the scroll bar and thought, "damn, this is so awesome and not even half done!" A few comments:

It's good to see Dracon and the Yakuza again, but you'd think he wouldn't be so quick to go back to his old tricks after agreeing to work with Elisa to fight the Unseelies. Oh, well, old habits die hard. I was almost angry when he was captured, for the reason that every time we see the guy, he shows up for one episode (fresh out of prison), breaks some law, gets caught, and ends up right back in jail. Kind of frustrating. That's why I liked it when he got away in the end (middle?). 'Course, it also means that Elisa's going to be after him and may not keep whatever semblance of faith she has in their alliance now that he's back on the wrong side of the law. (And I thought that a three-way fight between the gargs, Dracon's guys, and the Yakuza stooges would've been cool to do.)

It's good that Goliath's finally swallowing his pride and apologizing to Elisa, let's see if it'll do any good. The big guy's really had no experience in dealing with a modern relationship (not to mention overcoming the inter-species thing :).

I thoroughly enjoyed the fight with the halflings, and Brooklyn's solution brought a smile to my face. Is it me, or are those halflings becoming less and less human and more and more magical?

I didn't find the... ahem... "objectionable" material all too "objectionable," really. It's nothing that isn't seen on 'Beverly Hills, 90210' five days a week, anyway. And I must admit I was LMAO to both the lecture scene and the intern joke.

The scenes with Macbeth at the studio and Demona watching were entertaining as well, as is Macbeth's continued (difficult) courtship of Joanna Walker. And the scene when he and Demona run into each other is just too funny.

Demona's spell... creepy. Creepy, and shocking. As Wilek said, if Demona cast that armageddon spell she'd be dooming her species, and herself - for were it not even for the "clothing-turning-to-stone" spell, she's still linked to Macbeth. As for Maeve's earthquake spell, I can see her and Demona meeting at a high noon showdown with a "you cast your spell, I'll cast mine, we can all die together," Mexican standoff conclusion. (Gee, hope I didn't just call the ending to Part 2 :)

As for the ending scene, I guess I'll have to go against a bunch of people in saying that I thoroughly enjoyed it. Mostly because I know it can't be true - be it a dream, a speculation, an alternate universe, whatever - I can appreciate it for pure coolness. Sure, they killed off most of the main characters and enslaved the rest. Sure, we got a cliched Demona betrayal (unwitting or not). Sure, they went against what was said in "Requiem." But that only proves that it can't be real. Personally, I can't wait until Part 2 comes out to get some answers, so I'll hold off on judgement of the whole ep based on a cliffhanger ending that I won't believe was unintentional. Hey, we gotta trust our TGS staff to know what they're doing, right?

***END SPOILERS***

Well, that's all for now, got some homework to do. Later all.

Gargs novel > you know I'd be there in a heartbeat ... but I'm sorta trapped because I don't dare approach them about it for fear they'd find out what I've been doing and sue me to death for besmirching their property.

But believe me, the idea has done more than cross my mind. I could easily compile what I've got into at least four novels, one focusing on the Aiden storyline, one on Matt Bluestone, one on Elektra, and one on Goliath and Elisa (or maybe five, if I thought I could get away with publishing the dark and twisted Demona and Jericho storyline).

::sigh:: But I just don't foresee it happening, and like I said, I'm too chicken to go to them with the idea.

heart mummers> Somebody correct me if I am wrong but arent these caused by a faulty connection to the heart valve? My sister had to have heart surgery back in 77 or 76 because hers was so bad. She is real self conscious about the scar, and hid it her whole life. Back then supposedly they were rare, but now I am hearing about more people with them. Are they getting more common or is detection just getting better?

The Longest Day Part 1: Overall a good episode. Some parts of it seemed to be a bit disconnected but I expect that will be fixed in the next part. Personally, I think that the ending was a dream Demona had and that the reference to the earthquake will be somehow explained.

All newcomers> Welcome to the comment room! Once Deuce has checked your sanity I suggest you read the comment room rules on The Gargoyles Saga Website. You should also read Deuce's intro to the CR, the link for which is somewhere in last weeks CR if you feel like looking for it.

****Dis Connect Death****
Peter enters the CR and spots DC messing with someone's internet connection over on the far side of the room. Without a word he raises his hand and fires a ball of plasma at DC, which explodes DC into something resembling chunky salsa on impact. Peter then motions with his hand and all of DC's pieces slide into the moat where they incite a feeding frenzy among the crocodiles. Peter then places a force field over the moat and lets DC stay there for the next few hours.

She did think he looked familiar. Finally, she broke down and said, "Excuse me, but did you go to my old high school?" Aparently, he got a confused look on his face and said no. She apologized for bothering him and went back to her magazine, ignoring him for the rest of the trip. Bet *that* had to hurt his ego...

Fleur> Actually, the murmur doesn't bother me 99% of the time and the other 1% it's just a nuisance. Although I have to take antibiotics before any major dental work. I hope you get to feeling better soon. Kinda ironic that you're so sick. I remember your question from a couple of months ago about pneumonia and the flu. BTW, I have discovered that I definitely am going back to north Texas when my contract is up, since I'm fairly allergic to blooming ash trees and they're blooming all over the place down here.

Thanks to all those who've given me info about the Ragnarok (though I've still not found what I really wanted, which is a list of surviving gods and goddesses, Aesir and Vanir)

In the fanfic I'm planning I think that the Ragnarok will have already taken place in some form; and part of it includes Typhon's defeating Zeus, and Seth's killing Osiris, even though the Nordic fays were the ones mostly hurt. And Avalon is the idyllic land that rose after the Ragnarok.

It gives Jackal, Hyena and Wolf a shot a revenge against Madoc for making them less human than ever then leaving them high and dry. Xanatos recruits them under the logic it's better to have three good fighters with them than against them. I didn't include a disclaimer, I wasn't sure how to phrase it.

[Wilek: "Great; that Phalanx snot is still in the system. What now?" Miriam: "Hm...There's another Dark Star-class station, the Avatar Of Ganon, in the Zeta Aquilae system, whose construction is essentially complete. It simply needs to be staffed and provided with support ships...and none of our fleet is infected." Wilek: "Good. Rho, Administrator, we're moving out. Evacuate the station and blow it up. Take any critical data you need, at least data that's not infected. As much as I hate to say it, I think the Dark Star is done for..."]

**END RP AND BEGIN NEW EP SPOILERS!**

I'm amazed that this one made it past S&P. I mean, that intern joke? Fox and Davy in the auditorium? (Well, with someone like *that* at the podium, I can't blame them...and they *are* married, so it's not quite as bad...) This one was interesting. And that ending...dangit, *I* wanted to be the one to kill everybody! <g> (Wait-a-minute...didn't I post something in here a long time ago about destroying the Eyrie and killing everyone? Hm...the Gargs sub-collective strikes again...) I hope we see what led up to that scene; I do so love when an earthshaking (literally in this case) tragedy happens to the heroes, as long as they still manage to win in the end. And...a spell to kill every magic user on the face of the earth?! DO NOT EVEN GO THERE! Not only are some of my best friends sorcerers and Fey, but...the gargoyles would NOT be safe, since there's a spell on each and every one of us that causes our clothes to turn to stone with us. So Demmy would be destroying the gargoyle race. Including me. No victory is worth that.

Jon Castaway and his sinister grin and nasty hammer are needed right now... SJ, you think you made an angry post? You ain't seen nothin'.

DC, you picked SUUUUUUCH a bad night to mess with me... First of all, I had SEVEN FRIGGIN' hours of homework, which in itself isn't right since school is seven hours long... Not to mention the fact I already know I'll have a similar ammount tommarrow night. And then when I finally get a moment to get on and talk to my friends, you kick me off for half an hour so they're gone when I get back. For that, you're gonna pay sucka.

**DC Death. Nothing special, I'm just gonna kill him.**
Robby approaches his current hates enemy, and starts with a backhand slap that sends the jerk's head reeling, followed immediatley by an uppercut to sends his head the other way. Before DC has any time to react, Robby delivers a round house kick to the head, that knocks him to the floor. While DC is down, I proceed to stop on him and hurt him a LOT. Once I'm done with that, I pick him up, and throw him off the highest floor of the Eyrie building. He lands with a satisfying splat, and as he begins to reassemble himself, I'm there waiting and I kick his head to the ground. Trying to get up, I proceed to break every bone in his miserable little carcass until he hurts. Then I let him heal, and I do it all again. After a while I get tired of just hitting him, so I grab him by the neck and smash his face into a drainage grate, leaving impressiongs in his face. Then, standing on his legs, I pull until he snaps, and continue such pointless violence for some time. It's apparent my adrenaline isn't going to die, so assume I'm hurting the jerk for the rest of this post. And unfortunatley for him, it's gonna be a long one.

New story- Haven't exactly had a chance to read it yet, and I doubt I'm going to any time soon. I'll catch up over Spring Break.

Dumlao- Wish you luck in your dad's condition.

Interesting quote- "The president is like a duck running out of gas." Don't ask me what it means, it was an example in my English book of what a metaphor is not.

Joe Dimaggio is gone? Aw man, this is just getting depressing.

Spam- Its an interesting food product, but a mere annoyance through mail.

**Stops to smash in DC's skull**

Kyryn- I cracked a smile at your bit. If I wasn't curently in such a foul mood, I bet I would have been rolling on the floor.

Coyote- Glasses? Interesting...

**Stops to kick DC in the groin.**

Wing Commander- I've been told the aliens are still feline, which is a point in their favor. This Friday we'll see.

Bronx Wyvern- Hello! Don't mind me, I'm usually a whole lot nicer than I am currently, but I'm in a nasty mood at the moment, something kinda rare for me.

**Growls at DC as the creep tries to escape, jumps on him and tackles him to the ground, sliding him accross pavement, skinning him and ripping his clothes**

Argent- Appropriate song for the occasion. I'll look for that a while after I cool down some and put it up if I can find it.

Note to myself- Stopping to claim 24th earlier was a good idea, you were in a reasonable mood then.

Godzilla- Don't worry about it, mistakes happen all the time. And welcome!

Jason Barnett- Welcome!

**Looks at DC and spits on him.**

Heather- Nice RP, somewhat appropriate to my current mood, though I'm flippin' mad! And I was just gonna do a nice fun continuation of Jim's house quest tonight, but nope, DC needs to be hurt some more.

War Planets- To anyone who has the ability to see this show, WATCH IT! It not only has the best computer animation currently available, but great characters and plot twists and awesome space battles!

**Robby pounds on DC some more. If I were a gargoyle instead of a mere Vinnie clone, my eyes would be glowing. As I grind the loser's head into the ground, I look at him, and take a deep breath. "There, thats enough for now. But fair warning punk, I'm gonna have a lotta homework tommarrow night, I will NOT be in the mood for you!" As Robby walks off leaving DC in a nasty, writhing puddle of mess, along comes Barney, the teletubbies, and a hoard of Smurfs, all bent on making the guy their new friend.**

*** START OF RP ***

In a non-descript gas station, sitting somewhere in the mid-West, a mechanic wearing grimy coveralls is finishing up with her work on an elaborate hoverbike (modeled after the classic Indian Touring Bike); bolting down an armored cowling over the main engine block.

"Hey, tiger! I think we've got Sara Jane here as ready as she'll ever be... are you sure you don't want me to tag along on this one?"

A tall figure is seen in the shadows at the back of the garage, shrugging into a large, brown leather "Bomber", taking the time to adjust a pair of holsters that are currently empty. On the table in front of this person are six extended magazine clips, all loaded, and a pair of .50 caliber Desert Eagle pistols.

"Nah, Kerri, not this time."

The greasemonkey stands up, brushing her hands off before taking a oil-splattered kerchief off of her head, reavealing a cascade of burnished silver hair.

"You sure? I mean, we work pretty good as a team, y'know."

The figure pockets four of the magazines into a set of bandolier pockets on his belt, then takes the remaining two and loads them into the pistols, ratcheting a round into the chambers of each one before slipping them into the holsters underneath his jacket.

"Yeah, but I think I can handle this one solo, Kerri. After all, I made a promise to Dog-Boy that I'd come give him a hand when he needed it the most... from what the 'network' is tellin' me, he's gonna need it, and soon!"

Kerri nods, her violet eyes flashing with concern. Backing up so the tall man can get by, she comments, "Well, just remember what your radio is for. You holler, and I'll crank up Big Bird and come a'running!"

The man straddles the hoverbike, taking a moment to stroke the stylized artwork of a red-headed pin-up - dressed in a french-bikini, chaps, and high-heeled boots - that graced the cover of the cowling.

"Don't worry, hon. If Sara Jane and I need it, we know who to call."

Reving the engine, the tall man straps on a helmet and coaxes the 'bike onto its anti-gravity 'foot'. At the same time, Kerri reaches over and hits a switch, opening the garage doors.

"Take care then, Tiger... come home safely."

"I'll either come home walkin', or not at all."

With that, the tall man guns the engine and, with a growl of power, he speeds off into the desert beyond...

*** END RP, FOR NOW ***

JEB - Great to hear you're going to be there at the Gathering! And I applaud you for your decisions concerning the fandom... glad to see you're sticking around!

AIRWALKER - Hmmm, interesting comments on "The Longest Day". <secretive grin>...

***BEGIN RP*****
"I'm afraid we're going to have to dump one of the reactor cores. That....abnormality is still growing." the Administrator said.
Wilek sighed. "I figured as much. Go ahead. Better to be safe than sorry."
Agent Rho: "The core has now been successfully dumped. Our Borg technology is working to grow another one as we speak, and--what the--?"
Wilek turns to her in concern. "What? What's wrong?"
"That...that growth, or whatever it is, is still being registered! It's...It's infecting the whole station!!!"
"Can you purge it?"
"It's spreading too rapidly! Our systems are going offline!" The lights begin to flicker. "Whatever it is, it's feeding off of our power like a leech!"
"Great!" the Administer shouts in frustration. "Send some troops down there to find out what's going on!"
****PAUSE RP*****

Warning: A very angry post tonight. I'm not in the best of spirits.

X-FILES: Ugh.....yeah, another episode with humor and Mulder/Scully romance overtones!!! Yeah!!!! (NOTE SARCASM.)
I've almost completely stopped watching this show. That two-part "all secrets will be revealed" thing for sweeps brought me back for a couple of weeks, then it's right back to this Mulder/Scully sexual tension crap. You know what I watched? The Scarlet Pimpernel on A&E. Fops with swords. But you know what? I liked it better.

Godzilla: Waitta minute....Godzilla, King of Monsters is a....woman??? This....contradicts all that I find true in life....I must go meditate on these shocking revelations....

Garg novel: Well, that's a nice goal. I'm sure somebody here could do it, with enough time and patience...and ability....say, is Christine free? ;)

This just in: Joe DiMaggio's still dead.

Jason Barnett: Hey, a fan of the ol' Subreality Cafe! As for other TGS stories....what, are you talkin' about fan fiction? I wouldn't think it'd be a problem. I'd check with Dumlao and the others first, but as long as you advertise that the TGS staff is responsible for the TGS characters/concepts, it probably won't be a problem. Still, I'm not the expert.

Argent: "You thought it couldn't happen....."
"The Crossover no one wanted to see....."
"Pokemon: The Gargoyles Saga!"
Ash stares at Goliath.
Goliath stares at Ash.
Pokedeck voice: "Gargoyles. One of the most unique and rarest forms of Pokemon....."
Coming soon!!......(Well, not really)

Doug & Kitiana: Actually, I think Chow-Yun Fat's movies are much better than most of the ilk spewing venomously out of Hollywood's increasingly foul gullet (ha! there's some literary illustration!). Look at his films: He's not just a "potentially great" actor. He often shines in the films he's in. "God of Gamblers" and "The Killer" especially show off the man's great range and ability. The problem is, most Americans don't give a crap, cause they're foreign films (which is a shame, cause I've found that Asian films in general are much better than there American companions). I know people who were ticked that "Life is Beautiful" got nominated for an Oscar. What would you rather have nominated, the "Waterboy"? Any Fat/John Woo collaboration is a masterpiece. In terms of action films (which, c'mon, only really need a thread of plot to sustain them--it's not like Van Damme's going to be doing Shakespeare any time soon, and thank God for that), Fat has turned out some of the more memorable ones in the genre. "Hard Boiled" (which to you folks who like such things, has undoubtedly the highest body count I've ever seen in a film) is a classic. The Corruptor looks to be pretty good, even though it does have Marky Mark in it as well.

As for Ryan Philippe....I know my views on him are probably in the vast minority. I just think that he, and a whole lot of other young actors/actresses in Hollywood today, are getting by on their looks, and not any talent. Does that sound bitter? Yes! Am I jealous of them? Hell yeah I am! I admitt it! They don't know how damn lucky they are! They don't know what "flavors of the month" they really are!
Look at the kids on Dawson's Creek (I'm probably going to really piss someone off here): I saw an interview a month or so ago, where James Vanderbeek was talking about "Varsity Blues". The interviewer asked him if his newfound fame was a problem. He said something like "It's really difficult when I'm in a restaraunt and someone comes over and interrupts my meal for an autograph, but that's okay with me." I thought to myself, YOU MORON, 3 MONTHS AGO, BEFORE YOUR DOPEY SHOW HIT THE AIRWAVES, YOU WERE A BUSBOY IN THAT RESTARAUNT. Don't whine like an infant.
So to sum things up: I have a lot of repressed anger and hatred for Hollywood Youth. Or Hollywood pretty boys. Forgive me, Father, for my transgressions. Mea culpa, and all that.

*** RP ! ( My first !)***
- By: Heather and Coyote Bando

Heather walks into the room with anger in her dark midnight eyes. She growls at the Redcoat that is Mr. DisConnect. She points her sword at him.
" This is for the the rude cutoff of my dear Robert! Have at thee, knave!"
She points the sword toward Dis's throat, making him back off a few feet. Suddenly he hears a whistle. Looking down, he realizes too late he's standing on railroad tracks. He whimpers softly before the locomotive runs him over.
She smiles to herself as she sees the last of Mr. Disconnect's body turn into goo. " Nevermind."
She turns around and whistles to herself as she leaves.

What a RELEIF it is to find out that Godzilla is NOT Crackers.

Godzilla: Sorry. You see... Crackers the Lobster filled up the other CR with about 100 scroll pages worth of garbage and blank space. I feared beacuse of Earthlink, and the (You didn't know) against protocall post, that you may have been Crackers. I am sorry for my pre-judging of you.

I've never posted here before but would anyone mind if I started a TGS round-robin on a storyboard I occassionally post to. It's kind of a weird idea but I think it's pretty good. I just wanted to ask in case the people who write TGS want the official stories to be the only stories written.

Quick, half-post, done between classes. More later.

Warning! A flu virus has joined forces with the asthma. I have had about seven hours sleep over the past three days. (Sitting up, since lying down brings on the coughing fits.) In a bid to combat this new invasion, and hold back the now-increased strength of the asthma, I have been forced to have more medicine, so half the periodic table of the elements is now moving merrily through my body. Therefore, I take no responisibility for this post, and when I am sane, I will repress the memory of ever writing it, and would appreciate it if everyone else would forget they ever read it. :) You have been warned!

Theresa> Er, I've got allergies _and_ asthma. Cats, rabbits, grass, they bring the very attractive red eyes look. Basically I'm about as healthy as a fly in a Mortein factory. :)

Dumloa> Whoo-hoo! Welcome to the RP!!!

Kyryn> Oh, a heart murmer? Owch. I'm so glad I haven't got that. My sympathies.

Robby> 'Gargoyles sub-collective'?. Man that sounds so kewl!! Can I have one?! Wait. Forget I said that.

Deuce> have fun on your retreat.

Coyote/Ravyn> Annoyed? Hell, no! I'm happy for you both. And fortunately, not diabetic. ;)

ACK! outta time! Back later!

**COMMENTS ON NEW TGS EPISODE**

Great episode. But it was the ending that really shocked me. New York devastated, Lexington and the Mutates dead. Demona betraying everyone again, the final end of the clan and Madoc victorious.

I do have one small complaint on that scene. Why is it that Lexington was the only gargoyle from the main eleven to die in whatever happened at the Eyrie? I don't wish any of the characters dead but it seems that the staff seems to pick on Lex alot. He get's turned into a cyborg. His main enemy these days is the immortal all powerful king of the evil fay. And according to the cryptic comments of the twins in OUT OF JOINT 2 his future doesn't seem that bright.

About that last scene I'm sure that it was one of two things:

1. A dream. It's possible that this is some dream that Demona is having as she wonders just what might happen if she deals with Mavis. But what takes away from this is how does she know about any coming earthquake? Only the Unseelie know about that and so that takes away from this possibility.

2. It's possible that it is an alternate universe. We know that in TGS there are alternate realities. This could be the world of TGS:G TWO or it could be a completely new alternate reality.

All that I'm one hundred percent sure of is that it isn't the actual future of TGS because after all, we've seen it in TGS:T REQUIEM. Broadway and Angela are alive in 2168. Demona was on good relations with Angela throughout that episode, something that couldn't exist if she had betrayed the clan to the Unseelie and insured Goliath and company's deaths.

The only thing that seems to remain constant between the last scene of this episode and the REQUIEM future we've seen is the coming earthquake. I'm curious as hell as to what this last scene is all about in the sceme of things and am waiting eagerly for the next installment. So take a bow TGS staff, you've done your job well to inspire such anticipation.

(Just one final statement: If Demona does ally herself with the Unseelie then I will be first shocked and then disappointed. Before she knew Angela existed, I feel that she would have joined the Unseelie in a second. But now that she knows that Angela exists, to make any move against the clan would be stupid as it would alienate Angela completely. And to ally with the Unseelie after knowing what they did to Angela in REPRISALS, what they plan to do to Gargoyles, and to her daughter especially would be unbelievable to me.)

Hey, all.

Thanks for the support last week. :) I've been thinking lately, and come to some decisions.

1) I enjoy my work in the fandom, but there's no need to participate more than I'm able or willing to do. So, overall, I'm sticking with the fandom. I'm just doing things in it as I will. :)

2) The cliquish (as Kaioto excellently put it) members of the fandom are simply not worth worrying over. I can't change their arrogant behavior, so I'll simply treat them as they treat me- as naught but a wisp of air.

3) I will be going to the 1999 Gathering. :) The bonuses of going outweigh the disadvantages of going, and I don't think I'll have another easy shot at it for the next 4 years. So, I hope to see y'all there. :)

I suppose I'll actually have to read this week's Gargoyles- sounds interestingly shocking. ;)

Oh, and I updated my site, if anyone's interested.

Unfortunately, beyond myself, I don't have a topic this post. <:) SYL. :)

**RP HERE, SKIP IT IF YOU WANT**

At the secret base, hordes of enemy troops are being assembled for the upcoming assault on NORAD. Zale stands in front of the gathering at a podium, briefing them. "We shall make our attacks here, here, and here," he says, gesturing to a map of NORAD and the surrounding area. "First, T'angelo and his gang members, backed by Kharsus's doppelgangers, shall infiltrate NORAD as part of its last tour group. When the time is right, they shall draw weapons and overwhelm the facility's security. I am informed that Tyl and Corax have already conjured up and infected the NORAD computers with a powerful virus that will prevent NORAD's security systems from responding to the commands of anyone but us. This should make it easy to take over the facility. Once the facility is under T'angelo's control, he shall use a portal generator we'll give him to gate in our hackers, who shall implement the rest of the plan. Meanwhile, Nipon's legion of Imperial walkers and stormtroopers shall attack Colorado Springs, forcing the city into chaos and preventing its police or the military at nearby Fort Carson from rushing to aid NORAD. Colonel Shreck shall lead them. Nipon and I will be overseeing the whole mission from our Super Star Destroyer orbiting the city and guarded by a lot more of our fleet. Don't worry about the Ravens, Guod and the Phalanx should have them handled before the mission begins. Any questions?" There are none. "Very well, then. You all go get ready for the mission. We depart at 0600. Dismissed." The armies nod, then begin to get up and file out of the auditorium hall.

The screen changes to the Fairmont Hotel, where the good guys are just finishing breakfast. Between bites of her pancakes, Kitainia turns to make a CR post.

**PAUSE RP**

Hi everyone! Welcome to all newcomers, hope you enjoy the CR.

Moment of silence for Joe Dimaggio and that director of so many awesome movies Stanley Kubrick.

Ragnarok: Sounds like a very cool battle. I am definitely there. And I also hope to be in the idyllic world spawned from its destruction. I just hope neither comes any time soon.

SJ: Oh, come on, give the guy a chance! Not all great actors are known for playing cliched badass blowhard KATNers. Some do quiet, romantic, and usually very developed roles well, and I thought that (in this movie at least) Ryan Phillipe was one of those. If you can't appreciate his acting, I'm sure your girlfriend will. :) And as for Chow Yun-Fat, I agree with Doug about him. The man is a potentially great actor who has so far mostly acted in films with dynamite action but cliched and boring scripts. I hope he soon gets better roles. Maybe in the Corruptor he will. Doug and I shall investigate.

Wilek: Good. Doug does that, too. I figured it was a common habit among writers.

Jaden: I agree with you about Margo Yale. She needs to learn the truth. So does Brendan. Until then they will still be entertaining comic relief!

Coyote, Ravyn: Glad I didn't embarrass y'all. Also glad that like Doug and me, you're the kind of people it takes a whole lot to embarrass you two. <grin> In your relationship, I wish you happiness and continued luck. Coyote, Doug and I also hope your eye gets better soon.

Green Baron: Welcome back to the CR, good to see you again. $ BTW, do I also have license to use your RP characters? Just curious, because Doug and I have been developing plans for them and several of these plans are ones I want to implement. :) $

Heather: Great pic! Hope to soon see more of your artwork.

DumlaoX: Good luck with your family and job hunt. $ We shall definitely take your advice about using your character in the RP. $

**BEGIN SPOILERS FOR "THE LONGEST DAY"**

Good title, great ep. I liked all the various plots and how we got to see so many characters developed. I was also cracked up by the making out scene (no problem with that in my book, too bad it's not so for the censors of the world), the Ari-Dracon interaction, and Macbeth's talk show debut (Man, Nicole St. John is turning out to be a pain). Also excellent development on Angela and Demona (I hope that in Part 2, the former finds a cure for Broadway and the latter makes the right choice. They can beat the Unseelie, she just has to realize it. Nostradamus can't always be right!).

About the end scene, I agree with the consensus here. I can't believe so many characters were killed off like that. Things can NOT end this way! It was a great scene, I liked the action and what each character did in it, but it better not be what really happens. The bad guys must not win, Madoc and the rest must get what is coming to them. I hope that in Part Two that scene is revealed as a dream. <begins prayers for next week's ep>

So this ep was another great one, hope TGS keeps up the good work.

**SPOILERS END**

Godzilla: Cool fic, I liked the interaction between Goliath and Thailog. I read it on the archive, liked it there, hope to soon see more from you. However, you should not have posted it in here. This is not the place for posting fanfics. Links and teasers to fanfics, yes, but not actual fanfics. Glad you've learned that lesson. At least it got you some feedback. I know from living with one how much writers value that. :)

Traveler: I too look forward to your long posts, they are always entertaining. Even more so is the reaction to them. Hope you soon put one in here. <grin>

Doug: Slayer Senshi a kinda Buffy crossover? Spike and Dru as the main villains, other Buffy characters appearing at the beginning and end, many people get turned into vamps and subsequently dusted, we get an original vampire villain, one of the clan becomes a Slayer and gets a Watcher (no speculation about this, please!), Graeme acts so much like Xander, major Buffyesque action (I've seen the outlines, I know your plans), and it's a 'kinda' crossover? What do you consider a real one? Anyway, like all your fans, I hope to soon see the finished product. Fortunately, you will soon be writing it down in next week's Spring Break in between your three papers, possible visit to the family, and all the other great stuff we plan to do.

Okay, that's all for now. Later. <salutes the CR, and leaves>

**RP AGAIN**

"Okay," Doug says when Kitainia finishes posting, seeing that they are all done with breakfast. "Let's head out." The Ravens get up from the table and do so, some bound for Marsh Headquarters and others for the hotel garage.

Meanwhile, in Marsh's office, Marsh is sitting behind his desk going over some stock reports. Suddenly Tyl walks in, a smile on his ski-masked features. "Did you fix the virus?" Marsh asks, noticing it. "No," Tyl replies. "But I just found out I don't need to." "Excuse me? My system is dying, man! Get back to work!" "No," Tyl says, grinning from felt-covered ear to felt-covered ear. "Damn it, Tyl, don't make me call Thailog!" "I just got off the phone with him," Tyl says, drawing a silenced Beretta. "I've been informed we don't need you anymore. And that you're a weak link. So you're scheduled for termination. Your pal Kilmer can run the corporation until it dies, then we'll decide what to do with him." "What?" Marsh says. "But I've done so much for Thailog! He can't..." Tyl cuts him off with a bullet to the head. Marsh's body collapses to the desk as Tyl smiles and puts his gun away. "He can," the evil hacker chuckles, "and I did." Laughing maniacally, he then leaps through one of Guod's escape portals as the screen goes blank. To be continued.

**FOR NOW, END RP**

***TGS SPOILERS. DUCK FOR COVER, I'M NOT A HAPPY CAMPER!***

Okay, it went very well. Right up until the last scene. I got to the section, read it, got to the end. All I could think was, "Huh?"

The final sequence in this ep needs one hell of a lot more buildup if it's true. Say, an entire season's worth of buildup. It was way, *way* too abrupt. You just *don't* make kill off half the main characters and enslave the other half without playing it for all it's worth!

And if it's a dream/scrying/foretelling, then that should be made clear, confound it! I *was* enjoying the ep, but the end just ruined it for me. The earthquake thing and Demona's betrayal were not handled well at *all.* Clumsy, unclear, and bungled are three adjectives which spring to mind.

So, I'm going to do something I normally don't do: pass judgement. This ep gets a hearty two thumbs down. I've come to expect better from TGS.

**RP!!**

**The screen lights up to reveal ... the firefight still in full swing. The tank has now finally brought the turret cannon fully around to face the attackers, as the bounty hunter eyeballs Ravyn and Coyote again.**

KEEP DOWN! **Coyote pulls Ravyn back as another shot zings by from the bounty hunter.**

<"Thanks.">

This isn't getting us anywhere.

<"What happened to the tank?" "Sorry, guys, you didn't have any howitzer shells!">

**rolls eyes** And I don't think cans of beer are gonna cut it this time.

**Coyote creeps along the side of the rock the group is hiding behind, sneaking the barrel of his Desert Eagle around the corner and firing three shots blindly. The three shots hit nothing but stones, making no purchase on any bounty hunters or their equipment.**

Somebody needs to make a move!

**PAUSE RP!!**

DumlaoX: Scary stuff there ... but I'm glad your dad's being released. I'm sure I speak for everyone here when I say I hope he's feeling much better soon.

Wilek: **holds up a vial of insulin** We're ready if you do go into sugar shock. ;) **can't resist, hugs Ravyn.**

Fire Storm: *L* Interesting obscure Arthurian reference.
As for the Michigan militia ... I think you misunderstood my RP. I've never been a militiaman, and never plan on being one. Your friends and family are safe from me. :)

**SPOILERS FOR "LONGEST DAY I"**

Boy am I glad I didn't read this one in edits. I might've been tempted to snatch stuff from the ending for WCC. :) This one's a keeper.

**END SPOILERS FOR "LONGEST DAY I"**

Argent: Cute smiley ... and I get it! I get it!! :)

Joe DiMaggio: Argent already beat me to the "Mrs. Robinson" lyrics ... they fit the occasion perfectly. Godspeed, Yankee Clipper.

Steve Gooch: I assume then, you live in a hall that doesn't serve meals. Do they offer fridges, or are they completely cruel? If they'll let ya have a fridge, get one. Trust me, I'm a veteran of college life, survival without a fridge is nearly impossible.

Wavers: I will keep that in mind if any questions should pop up.

Doug: Myself and Ravyn are certainly glad you do. **grins at Ravyn, then hugs her again.**

Bronx Wyvern: Welcome, friend. Speak to Deuce over there, he'll be kind enough to check your sanity. :)

Ravyn: **grins** Thanks for the well-wishes, Rav. **returns kisses and adds a couple of his own. :)**

**RESUME RP!!**

<"Coyote, you and Ravyn get into the cave. Find the Underground.">

What about you guys? <"Or the kids?" "We'll hold 'em here, and keep the kids with us. They'll be safe, so will your tank.">

**Coyote and Ravyn look at each other, then back at Southard and Tony.**

All right. **Coyote gets up to his feet, crouched behind the stone.**

<"Good luck, friends.">

**Coyote nods, as Southard and Tony go to the other side of the rock, weapons blazing. Coyote grips Ravyn's hand tightly as they prepare to run for the mouth of the cave.**

We'll go on the count of three ...

**Ravyn suddenly uses her free hand to grab Coyote's face, pulling him around to kiss him quickly.**

<"For luck.">

**Coyote grins, pulling out his Desert Eagle and pulling back the hammer.**

One ... Two ... THREE!!

**Coyote starts firing the pistol wildly as he and Ravyn run for the mouth of the cave. Just as they dive inside, a shot from the bounty hunters strikes the upper arch of the cave's mouth, bringing it crashing down behind Coyote and Ravyn.**

<"Ahh, nuts!" "Boss!">

**The bounty hunters suddenly turn away from the fight. Southard stands up fully extended.**

<"HEY! What's the big idea?!">

**The bounty hunter turns to face Southard.** <"Thank you, Mr. Southard. You led them directly where we wanted them to go ... straight into our trap.">

**The bounty hunters fire up their vehicles and drive away, leaving the shellshocked party to ponder their options. The screen inconveniently winks off before Coyote and Ravyn's fates can be known.**

OK People. Auntie Starsinger is putting her foot down, hard. Godzilla has already appologized. She didn't know any better and DumlaoX has already let her know not to do it again. SO QUIT PICKING ON HER. She had already posted the fic to the archieve the other day, so it's there.

*** Spoilers for Longest Day *** sort of

Reread Two and Visions. I believe we were seeing the parallel earth of those two stories.

I can't wait for part two.

*** End spoilers ***

DumlaoX I understand where you're coming from with your father. My nephew Christopher has cancer everywhere and his first doctor said he wouldn't live to see his 21st birthday. He turned 22 this last Christmas. So hang in there. You're in my prayers and well wishes.

I know you know where to post fanfic cause I read your story in the Fanfiction section of this site a couple days ago. I also simply love your poem "The snake and the lizard".

Coyote> You're the best! Thanks for answering my question again. **continues hugging him, and returns the kiss** And I'm sorry to hear about your eye. Hope it gets better soon! **adds another 'get-well' kiss** :)

**RP!**

**The same bounty hunter that's been following Coyote's group since New Mexico yells at them again.**

<"I SAID, THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE, BANDO!!! SURRENDER NOW!!!">

**Coyote's eyes narrow.** <"Never!">

**In a movement that seems like slow-motion, the bounty hunter levels a gun to her shoulder, aiming straight for Coyote. Ravyn sees this, raises her .45, and lets out a very gargoyle-like scream before firing off a few shots at the hunter. Miraculously, the hunter is able to roll out of the way and duck behind some rocks without being hit. Tony and Southard arm themselves, and Coyote hurries to Ravyn's side.**

<"Jeez, Rav, what was THAT?!?"> Tony shouts.

**Ravyn, growling slightly, clenches her talons.** "They're NOT gonna get any of us while I'm around. Especially not Coyote."

**Coyote smiles, just as the bounty hunter peeks out from behind the rocks and aims at the group and the screen flickers off...** **END RP!**

**RP HERE, NOT FANFIC, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE!**

The screen comes on with the secret base, where Bishop Galante is picking up a ringing phone. "Yes," he says. "This is your pal Ted, BeeGee!" Ted Turner screams back at him. "How ya doing?" "Fine, and you know I don't like being referred to as 'BeeGee.' I really hate that band." "Hey, man, who doesn't? Look, I got info you should know. Listen." The Bishop does so, and gets a worried looks on his face. "The Catholic Schoolgirl Scouts are coming after me?" he asks. "That's right," Ted tells him. "Jane, Geoffrey, the boss (Thailog), and I just discussed it. We got a plan. Geoff, the little woman, and I are gonna wipe out those chicks before they can even find your hidey hole. You do not have to worry about them. Just go making sure I'll be in charge of all communications when you take over the world, okay baby? Later!" Ted hangs up and Galante sighs heavily. "The people I have to work with..." (Note to Green Baron, please feel free to do whatever you want with this thread you started; since you gave us the okay, Kitainia and I will of course be doing the same. Thank you.)

The screen changes to the Fairmont Hotel, where Doug is heading downstairs to eat breakfast before he and his team head for the Marsh Corporate HQ. As he heads down the stairs to the hotel resturant, Doug makes a CR post.

**PAUSE RP**

Hi everyone, I'm back. Glad to be here again. :) Okay, let's get to commenting.

Wing Commander: I too hope that the aliens in the movie are as cool as the ones in the show and games. Same deal for Maverick, Maniac, Archer (who from the previews seems like she still has good looks and personality, that's a good thing), and the rest of the team. A movie can't be good after all without great plot and character development. At least not in my opinion. I hope that Wing Commander has plenty of both, but until this weekend I unfortunately cannot know for sure.

Coyote: Anytime. The world knows I definitely support romance! :)

Carolynn: Thanks for the Ragnarok description. Sounds like a cool battle. I especially like the end result. Something like it (new and idyllic world rises out of the chaos, the seven races (humans, gargs, fay, mutants, Quicklings, dragons, vamps) live in it in relative peace and happiness, with misery and wickedness still existing, but to a much lesser degree) is of course what I plan to be the end result of my fanfic saga. Hope something similar happens for TGS.

SJ: I actually thought Ryan Phillipe did a good job in the movie. He had a great romantic part, with actual character development. That's much more than I can say for Leonardo diCaprio, Corey WhatsHisFace, and all the other little dorks who are just in Hollywood because they look good. As for Chow Yun-Fat, he's also a good actor. I just wish more of his movies had better scripts. Most of the movies I've seen with him have been cool on action (that's not a problem), but the plots have been overwhelmingly predictable and cliched. Maybe Corruptor will be different, I hope so. Because I think that if Chow Yun-Fat were given the right script and the right role, he could easily do an Oscar-worthy preformance (and we all know how rare those are for stars of action flicks!).

X-Men Villians: My favorite was always Magneto. He works well as both a hero and a villain, I enjoy using him as the former in my fanfic saga a lot (Don't worry, he might get some villain time, too). Sinister comes in second, I'll be using him for a villain in a fic many stories ahead (in season three). In there he will of course be dealing with the Legacy virus (we'll also see the New Olympian survivors again, and Rachel). Bet you're all hoping I get to that fic soon. :) As of now, I am slowly getting closer to finishing "False Vengeance." "Slayer Senshi" (Buffy crossover, sorta), "Dungeon Fortress" (the clan and a reformed Dracon vs. the Ultra-Pack's latest trap for the former and Rodent & JC Bailey's prison gang), and "Night of the Symbiotes" (Broadway and Angela's wedding with special guests Carnage and Venom) will follow it, then comes "Flashback Trek," my Party on Avalon fic involving Seth's coming to terms with his past and deciding on his future. Titania, Coyote, and Rachel will of course be there to help him through the process. <grin> After that, I'm not yet entirely sure.

DumlaoX: $ No format necessary that I'm aware of, besides sticking to the rules. Hope you continue to have fun with the RP!$ Also, good luck with your family and your life.

Moment of silence for Stanley Kubrick and Joe DiMaggio. They will be missed, but their legacies shall live on!

Green Baron: $ I understand that you can't post that often, thanks for the character use license. Hope we are able to do good things with them. I also understand why you brought Ted into the RP. I went ahead and added Hanoi Jane because I've always despised her (she was one of my mom's major role models). BTW, who is Geoffrey the bigot? Their butler? Just curious, and need to know so I can more effectively write him. Once again, thanks. $

Heather: Good picture. I wonder if you take commissions. If so, there's a little pic I'd like you to do for "Slayer Senshi" of Arianna and Graeme.

**BEGIN SPOILERS FOR "LONGEST DAY," YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED**

Good episode. I liked all the little plots and how they were tied together. Good working-out of the events in each plot, too, and the action in some of them. All the characters were developed well, I hope to soon see more of the conflicts that occurred between them. I particularly enjoyed the development of the friendship between Demona and Andrea and Rita as a villain. Arianna's reaction to Dracon's skunk haircut also cracked me up, as did the imagery of Dracon as a football coach. Great to see him up to his old tricks, as well as developed more. It was also nice to finally see the Yakuza again.

Hmm, Broadway's ill and may be turning into a vampire. Uh oh! Hope this problem gets fixed in the next episode (that would explain the lack of continuity with Broadway fighting so hard in the hopefully not last battle). I had the image of the ep's cliffhanger being him going into full vamp-mode and lunging at Angela. That might have been better than the (hopefully) dream scene we got of the Unseelie winning the war. Too bad it will have to remain a creativity demon. Good job on developing the relationship between Broadway and Angela, either way.

Also good job developing Macbeth. I enjoyed his reaction to being on TV (did anyone else spot the Ninja Turtle characters he encountered?), and the comment he gave Nicole St. John was right on track. I hope the show's audience appreciated his reaction. <grin> The lecture scene also cracked me up, I enjoyed the Gathering references in there. The making out also didn't bother me, due to the comedy of it and the fact that Kitainia and I have done the same thing during lectures at UT many times. It's so much fun! :) But people are right, it never would have gotten past S&P if this were a canon episode. <shrug> Oh well.

Demona was also developed well in this episode. I hope she doesn't go so far as to use that really cool but really awful, brutal, and unnecessary all-magic-destruction spell. I'm glad she's learning to accept humanity more, even if she and Macbeth still have bad blood between them. I also really hope she doesn't sell out to the Unseelie.

Which brings me to the episode's end scene. That scene was great. All the characters were portrayed well in it, the action was excellent, and I liked the death scenes. But just the same I hope it was only a hypothetical scene, I REALLY do not want it to happen. Madoc MUST NOT win the war, he MUST NOT take over Earth. Surely the good guys can stop him. After all, there is no such thing as an invincible foe. That whole scene had to be just a dream, a vision Demona had as she reached for the phone to call Maeve. I hope I'm right, and that she does the right thing. If not, TGS will still be a good but VERY different story. Whether it was a true TGS happening or not (I agree with ED and Ironwolf, you guys destroyed too much of the canon stuff about Gargoyles for the scene to be truth, things can not end this way!), it's still a well-written and very chilling scene.

So all in all, this was another great ep. 8.5/10, thumbs up, heavy on the applause. Keep up the good work, TGS Staff. Can hardly wait for Part 2 next week.

**SPOILERS OVER, YOU CAN LOOK NOW**

Godzilla: Brief but good story, thanks for the entertainment. I do agree with everyone else, though. You should have just posted it in the GFW archive, not the CRs. Although you have to admit, it did get you a lot of feedback. :) I hope to soon see more fanfiction from you, and will watch the archive for it. Keep up the good work!

Traveler: Please post soon. I always look forward to your long entertaining rambles. BTW, I'm also still waiting for your promised reviews of "The Blackout" and "End to the Rage." To stop the pestering, get them to me soon. You know we writers don't like people who say they're going to send feedback and then take forever getting around to it. <grin>

Ironwolf: Yeah, most men who are stupid idiots. :)

Okay, that's all for now. I shall give some more RP, then turn the comp over to my fellow poster Kitainia!

**RP AGAIN**

Doug walks into the hotel resturant and sits down with his friends. They order breakfast and then begin discussing their plans for the day. "So I'm going to Marsh HQ to make our proposal," Doug says. "Kitainia, Fleur, Jaden, I want you all to come with me. I'll need your help if things get rough. The rest of you are also coming, right?" "Actually, Doug," Keith says, "I'd like to stay behind. Gubio, Jammer, and I were talking about doing some work on the Onslaught. We're planning to upgrade it into..." "Ssh!!" Gubio stops him. "You'll spoil the surprise!" Keith nods and shuts up, Doug looks at them oddly. "Alright, guys," he shrugs after a few moments. "The truck was damaged a lot coming through Yosemite. I guess it does need an overhaul. You three stay here and take care of it. Elena, you work in a garage and have magic, you stay and help." "You, too, Orion," Jammer adds. "We may need a blessing on the truck." Orion nods, glad his presence is valued. "I'll stay and help, too," says Tricia. "You might need a psionicist." "And a chemical engineer," adds Tom, smiling at the chance to exercise his profession. "Okay," Doug nods. "That means Lathrop, Shap, Shauna, Boris, Stephanie, and Mist are coming with us to the Marsh Building. Right, guys?" They all nod. "Us too," adds Cobra, the other two bikers nodding in agreement. "You'll need us to break you in there." "Right," says Doug. "Okay, we finish eating and then we leave. Plans complete." As the screen fades out, they all nod and go back to their food.

**FOR NOW, RP IS OVER. ALSO END POST**

OK um hmm well it looked like a good teaser you see for novels. You know the stuff they hand out at conventions. They contain a couple of pages in the novel to get ya good and hooked. Shrug I guess I have done to much reading the last week. Picked up 8 busby books I had been looking for and smashed through them. Finished longest day on my lunch break. Two fox trot anthologies in-between the busby stuff. so maybe the story just seemed shorter compared to what I have been reading. Now 2 comments
*****************longest day comments you were warned
Good story nice length I enjoyed it. I wonder if the time travel(if the last part was not a dream or a scrying) will be handled by the Three Sisters? As for Fox Xanatos and puck and Alex. will I think they survived. look at how much magic is in that group! Mabey they pull off the rescue for Demona and Angela? We all know that it cant end like this. hehe the cr would hunt down the people responsibleshudder and nope to horrible to think about. :) find out Monday I suppose sigh
******************end********************
now comment 2. Has any one done a full length Garg novel? I have seen plenty of short stories but nothing of this caliber. Disney might actually bye such as story( it would be cool). These are awfully popular now. look at buffy xfiles and such. They all have novels out. oh well wishfull hoping I guess
se ya

***SPOILERS FOR GODZILLAS PIECE, THAILOGS ABSOLUTION***

Godzilla: If you developed that story more, (and obviously posted it somewhere more suitable) it could be pretty cool. As it stands, Thailog makes the turnaround rather abruptly. Still, its an interesting piece, although I could do without all the gore. :)

***END SPOILERS***

***SPOILERS FOR THE LONGEST DAY PART ONE***

This has the best title. Even better is the quality of the scene switching, and attention to detail throughout. I must admit that this is one of those episodes that would not make it as a TV ep without some chopping, but like CONSEQUENCES it doesnt make the piece seem any less stunning. The cliffhanger is inspired, and the final scene is great. In truth, the way its done reeks yes, oh yes, its destroyed really it is, oh yes it is, sure is. Either the team really are criminally stupid or there is no physical substance of the final scene. Mainly because getting rid of the two leads, several major characters, the setting and the father of the clans future leader is just beyond a joke. But still, its a pleasing tale, with some *very* funny moments. With a cool title.

I'm back from Spring Break, and once again behind on TGS. So, just for variety, I used the Queen of the Fey's pic in hopes that she'll squeeze a few more hours into the day so I can do everything I have to do and everything I want to do.

DumlaoX> I hope your dad gets to feeling better soon. I'm sorry to hear about his illness.

Wilek> I know you haven't been on yet this week, but I wanted you to know I've read your first three fanfics, and they rocked!

Coyote> Seri wanted me to pass along a message. I'm sorry I hadn't looked at the WCC page lately, and didn't know about team assignments. She's honored to have been placed on Team Alpha, especially since it means she'll be with that impressive human friend of Wilek's, Miriam Baxter. Much better to fight alongside the girl with the flashie thing than against her. If you need to get in contact, the author will be unavailable by EM from early May 1999 until January 2000. (Clinicals are great fun, shyeah right)

Godzilla> Welcome to the room. I thought your fanfic was good, but it really ought to be rerouted to www.gargoyles-fans.org where everyone can enjoy it. In the fanfic section, there are details on how to post your work there. Good luck on any further work.

Well, I GTG. Got a paper to write and series to catch up on. I'm looking forward to this week's Garg/Pen. I love Christine's work, so this ought to be fun. :)

**Kyryn looks in quickly**

How many weapons in the costume?> At one point we managed to hide 23. Most of them were odd looking kitchen utensils, so I could wear them without getting security on my case. (Actually, the original costume skit, which I never got to do for various reasons, involved security:

Security walks up: "Ahem, weapons please."
I hand over the visible weapons: a klingon disruptor and bullwhip.
He looks at me and puts out his hand: "Weapons, please!"
I sigh and start pulling out several weapons and handing them to him.
He looks at me and says once again: "Weapons, please."
I hand over several more weapons and he counts them, says thank you, and walks off.
As he walks off, I look at the audience, smile, pull out a crab cracker (when you flip it open, it looks like a miniature batlith (sp?) ) from the center chest area and say: "A good klingon is never totally disarmed"

The skits that I eventually won with: one involved a sharp wooden stake and the quote "Be vewwy vewwy quiet. I'm hunting vampires. (Nigel Bennett, LaCroix from Forever Knight, was one of the judges). The second skit involved a pair of sunglasses and a large bass drum.

I'll have to find some of my pics, scan them and post them to my site.

Heather> Very cool pic!

Steve>Trade? It's a possibility, but only if you want the frog-strangler Texas thunderstorms and the hail and tornados that go with them.

***BEGIN RP***

DumlaoX walked back to his Jeep, smug grin on his face, satisfied that he had gotten the attention of the Ravens. As he sat in his car and started the engine up, he clicked a button on his headset and adjusted his microphone. Seconds later the static cleared and a voice came from the speaker.

"So, how did it go?" she asked.

"Looks like it went well, sis," he answered. "They know who I am, I know who they are, everything is fine."

"DX, you didn't knock someone senseless, did ya?"

"T-Loco," he said with a sound of mock surprise. "You know I'm not a violent man. Only when I have to be. Anyway, anything happen back at base?"

"Nothing much," she said. "Just an order of new stuff came in for you. And the equipment for the comp you ordered came in."

"Great. OK, I'm headed home till they call me. Gonna install some of that new stuff & make use of it with the other clients. Wanna help?"

Silence came before T-Loco could answer. "Nah. Gonna hit the record store & pick up a few albums."

"Sweet. Alright, see ya in a few." The line went dead. DX looked at his watch and then his surroundings before pulling out into the main street, headed for Highway 5. "Auto PC," he called out. A resounding *beep* was emitteted from the car. "Memo to self. Keep an eye on The Ravens. You know no one ever trusts you since that incident in the Philippines. End memo."

The computer beeped. "Memo saved," it responded.

"Ok," DX said. "Play MP3 Busta Rhymes feat Mystikal - Is they Ridin Wit Us, Is They Wildin Wit Us. Also, open Comment Room." As the music pumped through the speakers, DX adjusted his headset, dictating his words to the CR.

SPIKE-- I could, but I already have Gorebash lined up to do something else for the comment room. Besides, what was posted might turn out to be something good. I can't punish a writer that made a mistake by erasing her work before she even saves it.

GODZILLA-- Apology accepted. Just go to the TGS site and read the rules in the Disclaimer section to figure out what to do next time. BTW, for those who don't know, I wasn't shouting, just did it in bold to get attention.

IRONWOLF-- Well, if it was a spoiler, it's rather huge. In any case, let's not fester on the subject much longer. Simple mistake. Nothing more.

THIS WEEK'S TGS EP-- Ok, to be honest, I hardly ever read a TGS episode. But after seeing the S&P comments raised here, I had to read it to see what was going on. Did this cross the S&P line? Maybe. Maybe not. Gotta admit it was damn funny, though. And, in all honesty, that auditorium scene really did happen in Gathering 98. All names and certain situations changed to protect the innocent. (And despite what Greg said that night, Alison & I were NOT doing that. We sat in the front row, right in front of him. I doubt it's wise to do that a few feet from the speaker :P )

Now I'm a bit happier. Off to pay a bill, go for a job interview, and get the brakes for the car fixed. Here's hoping I land a job in the campus computer labs.

Till next time...

And ... is it just me ... it's probably just me ... but why do I keep getting the idea that Maeve spends her free time strutting around in ... well ... just hearing her talk about slaves like that ... yes, Mistress ... it's probably just me ... and as we all know, I have a filthy mind ; )

Hey all,

Been a while. I've been working on this aggravating paper for Atomic Consequences all weekend (actually, I lie... it hasn't been technically started yet :)... But that doesn't make it any less aggravating!

*****X-FILES SPOILERS*****

This has to be the funniest episode I've seen in a long while. All the sexual tension, coupled with Mulder's one-liners like "Wanna make that honeymoon video now?" and "the magic is gone." Really great character development, and a lot of stuff we'll probably *never* see when they get together.

*****END SPOILERS*****

Ravyn > <Wow! All that snow must be really cool. :)> Yeah, I went skiing yesterday and the mountain had about 8 inches of fresh powder... which, of course, was lightly dusted atop three inches of sheer ice. Let's just say that those two things plus a black diamond ungroomed trail through the woods contributed to a rather unpleasant encounter with a douglas fir. ;-)

Coyote > Yeah, I sympathize, me too. When we've got eight inches of snow outside and a howling blizzard going we either A) fight over which dining hall's food is worth a trek outside or B) find a pizza place that's willing to defy county law and drive on closed roads.

Entity > I liked that Asmiov tidbit, it exemplifies my belief that seven days might not actually mean *exactly* seven days.

SJ > You can badmouth Larry King all you like, but I'll always like the guy just on how he basically called Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz a liar to his face on CNN, in regards to claims of Iraq's possession of chemical weapons. I was LMAO at that.
And yeah, Usual Suspects rocked.

Fleur > <That law has been written with letters a foot deep in a great big slab of stone somewhere.:)> Yeah, and given my luck that slab will be falling from the sky aimed at me the next time I step outside.

Kaioto > <Top Ten Fay to injure and why List > This is going down on my "funniest things ever said in CR" file once I get it going. :)

Wilek > Forfexx's haiku is going down in there, too :) Also, interesting scientific theory on gargoyle skin pigmentation.

Kyryn > <the temps in Southwest Texas are into the 70's> Y'know, that sounds pretty darn pleasant right now [looks outside to bitter, swirling snowstorm]. Wanna switch? :)

Robby> <there is apparently a gargoyle sub-collective conscence where garg fans continually come up with the same ideas independantly.> Amen brother. Must be philotic. :)

Virus hoaxes > While it's true that some people get their kicks by frightening online users by making up fake viruses, I don't mind them as much as the sick bastards that get their kicks by making up REAL viruses and letting them loose. As Wilek says, it's better to be vigilant against all possible viruses than get hit by one by accident. I know, win_CIH infected my whole floor last semester, and that was a real pain to disinfect. And Coyote, don't worry about unintentionally spamming the room. It was for a noble cause.

Starsinger > Thanks much for all the virus links.

Kitainia > Congrats on the lessening of spam. You seem to be winning a losing battle.

Heather > Great picture, they just keep getting better!

Jewel > Ug. Sounds like you've got a nasty bug there. Feel better, 'k?

DumlaoX > Glad your dad's getting discharged in a few days. Hope he feels better.

[Hangs head] A moment of silence, please. Stanley Kubrick, Joe DiMaggio, may they rest in peace.

Ironwolf > A teaser is one or two sentences, related to one's own works - NOT seven pages. That was fanfic and it was not appropriate. A link or request for emailing of the story would have been appropriate, along with the proper spoiler warnings.

Later all

Gee did i actually make it to the top ten??
DUECE> hate to say it but it is possible to make a virus that erases everything on your hard drive. I was goofing around one day and well lets say that it even erased the sectors. Do you know how hard it is to rewrite the sectors on a hard drive?? I destroyed the program I was so mad, but if I can do it by accident then someone can do it on purpose. A lot of people automatically open file attachments on email when they open email and this would easily allow access to a virus. those are the only 2 points were I have to disagree with you.

Finally I think Godzilla's post was mabey more of a teaser for his writtings. Yes he nedded a warnning heading around it, but i thought it was apporiate for the cr. Now this is only my view and I am in no way affiliated with the staff or the people running the room so i could be wrong.

well i'll leave with just this one bit of wisdom

Fifth.

Godzilla, when you're new somewhere and playing in someone else's house, it never hurts to ask. Posting a story is far, far, different than the rping that goes on. Also, there, are some people who don't like those things and need warnings so they know they can skip them. There are comment rules posted in the main TGS page. Please, take a moment and read them.

<>WARNING! EPP TALK INCLUDED!<>

NOT A COMPLAINT.

TGS Staff: While I do not personally mind the adult content in this episode (I read Christines work after all), I feel that it may be too... "Sugestive" for our younger readers. (You KNOW the scene(s) I am talking about. The theater... Fox and Xanatos...
I am just curious... TGS said that they were for keeping sexual content out of episodes.
Although I know seeing the Xanatos's, Angela and Broadway, Brooklyn and Sata, AND Goliath and Elisa together in a romantic way is kinda necessary (3 out of 4 will probally have another kid), I think that some parts in this eppisode were TOO sugestive.
Personally, I REALLY liked it in the episode where George got Quinn pregnant, and Brooklyn and Sata's first time. There, it was handled very nicely.
This episode was VERY borderline for what I would possibly call a S&P issue.

BUT! I REALLY liked the quote from Greg in the episode. (I can't compete with sex).
I was ROFL'ing!

The end...
A dream?
Or a prophecy?

<>END EPP COMMENT<>

GODZILLA-- Tell me you aren't a regular to the room. Otherwise... WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR? DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT POST WHOLE FANFIC IN HERE WITHOUT A SPOILER WARNING! This has been a warning.

REASONS-- Ok, people, the reason the post was late. I found out today my dad was commited to a hospital for a fever of 103.5. It might also be because of chemotherapy complications. He just called a few mniutes ago from the hospital and he's recovering nicely. Might be back home in 2 or 3 days, which is great by me :)

Things to do in the next few days. I hope I can finish it up.

Till next time...

Thailogs Absolution

Good and bad, any gargoyle is pray to Quarrymen. Goliath found that out when he found the Quarrymen attacking someone. He chased the attackers off and returned to the victim.

All that was there was a trail of blood leading into the alley.

Goliath followed the trail of blood, being cautious, as the Quarrymen could easily return to finish the job. Electric hammers buzzed occasionally, the discarded weapons strewn about.

He continued to follow the trail of blood until a low moan came from an area near a trash can.

"Help me." A weak voice said.

It was Thailog!

Thailog was badly beaten and bleeding. He had a broken leg and his wings were shredded. His torso was swollen, indicating broken ribs and many more serious injuries. His eyes had been gouged out, and blood ran down his mangled face like tears.

"Thailog" Goliath said.

The sight was so gruesome that Goliath wanted to turn away and run screaming. In all his years of violent battles, he had never seen anything as horrible as this. He shuddered, averting his eyes for a moment before returning his attention to his injured clone.

He had to try and help Thailog. Despite the fact that Thailog was an enemy, Goliath knew it was wrong to stand there and watch someone die.

Goliath carefully picked the injured Thailog up and hurried to the castle.

A flurry of gasps greeted them when they arrived.

"Xanatos! Help me!" Goliath cried. "I have someone who is injured!"

"What in the- Oh my! What happened to him?" Xanatos asked as he called his medical team.

"The Quarrymen ganged up on him. You must help him." Goliath placed Thailog on the couch and grabbed some towels to stop some of the bleeding.

Thailogs white-blonde hair was stained brilliant red from his own blood. Goliath looked down and saw that Thailogs blood was all over his chest and arms.

He stripped the clone to his red loincloth and found more wounds where hed been stabbed by his own armor. Goliath had to turn away when he realized part of Thailogs side had been ripped out, and he could see his ribs and some internal organs.

Xanatoss medical team arrived and Thailog was whisked away.

Pain was all Thailog could feel. He lay there, moaning in agony as the gurney carried him away.

Goliath watched as his clone was taken away, and he felt pity. Pity for the fact that this would not have happened to him if he had joined the clan.

About two hours later, Xanatos found Goliath in the library and told him the news.

Xanatos sighed. "He was injured too badly. The only things we can do for him are ease his pain." He paused to let the effect sink in, then continued when he sensed Goliaths next question, "Thailogs not going to survive the night, Goliath. Im sorry"

Goliath hung his head for a moment, then lifted his gaze to Xanatos once again. "How long does he have?" The giant gargoyle asked.

"Four hours, maybe less." Xanatos replied flatly.

"Thank you. You tried your best. Imay I see him?" Goliath responded, placing a hand on Xanatoss shoulder.

Xanatos nodded and led Goliath down the hall and up to the next floor. He led him down another hall and opened a door. Goliath nodded his thanks and the billionaire left him and Thailog alone.

Thailog was resting comfortably. His face was horribly disfigured, a gauze blindfold stopping the bleeding from where his eyes used to be. Thailogs jaw was broken, bruised and swollen. His leg was in a temporary splint, tape and bandages holding the bones inside. Bandages were wrapped around his torso, holding his ribs together and keeping his entrails from spilling out. His whole body was mangled horribly.

The treatable wounds were treated, easing the pain if nothing else.

"Whos there?" Thailog asked, his voice a hoarse whisper.

"Its me." Goliath replied.

"Goliath? Whow-w-who were those people?"

"Quarrymengargoyle haters. They believe our kind must be destroyed" Goliath replied again, softly.

Thailogs hands made fists, then relaxed, "I did nothing to them! They have no mercy-" he started to cough.

"Please calm yourself. You must rest-" Goliath was saying to his clone.

"Am I going to die?" Thailog interrupted, having not been told.

Goliath was silent.

"Am I?" He asked again.

"Yes," Goliath answered, his voice barely audible.

"Thenget revenge! Make themp-pay!" Thailog coughed again, each spasm causing his horrible broken ribs to cave in against his internal organs and cause him terrible pain.

He gasped for air and moaned. Thailog lay so still for a moment that Goliath thought he was gone. Then Thailog took a deep breath and sighed.

Thailog started to think about what he had done, about the evil he had wrought, and the pain he had caused. He began to realize that perhaps he deserved what had happened to him. There was nothing he could do but waitwait to die.

Then he realized he needed something. That something could set him and his soul at peace.

Absolution.

"Goliath" Thailogs weak voice penetrated the thick silence.

Goliath came to Thailogs bedside, "Im here, Thailog."

"Cancan you ever forgive mefor everythingeverything I did?" Asked Thailog, his voice barely audible. "I understand if you cant. Ive done suchhorrible thingscaused so much pain"

Goliath realized what Thailog was asking. He understood what he meant. Even if Thailog was a clone, he had come from Goliath. He was his son.

Thailog took another ragged breath and said, "Please forgive mefather"

Goliath was surprised to hear Thailog call him that. A wave of pain washed over him, knowing that this creature was his son, no matter how he was created.

"II thought I hated youbut I really hated myselffor being a freak. No childhood, nolife. Im sorry" Thailog reached his hand out, searching for Goliath.

Goliath caught Thailogs hand and held it. He felt tears stream out of his eyes.

"YesI forgive you, Thailogfor everything. I know now, that deep in your heart you were not truly evil. You are forgivenmy son." Goliaths voice cracked on the last words, and he felt hot tears spring from his eyes.

Thailog squeezed Goliaths hand, and Goliath squeezed back in response. They were silent for a long time, and the only sound was Thailogs raspy breathing. But soon, even that sound was soft, and barely audible.

He waited. Thailog could feel death as it approached. He waited for the darkness to consume him forever, but something else happened.

"Light," Thailog said softly, "I see light"

He wondered how it was possible. Thailog couldnt see anything because he no longer had eyes. Yet he could see this light

Goliath quieted Thailog. "Shhh. Tis all right, my son. Do not fear the light, but go towards it."

"Itsits happening" Thailog spoke again, his voice very weak.

"Follow the light, Thailog. There is peace waiting for you." Goliath said to his son, squeezing his hand.

Thailog squeezed back in response. He watched the light become brighter and brighter as he got closer and closer. One last time, his lips parted, and he spoke.

"Imready," Thailog turned his face towards Goliath.

Slowly, one finger at a time, Thailogs grip on Goliaths hand weakened, until his hand had gone completely limp and began to slip from Goliaths. Goliath did not let go.

He watched as peace came over his sons face. He watched the pain as it was lifted from him. He watched as his son died.

"Goodbye, my son." Goliath whispered, placing his other hand on Thailogs.

He felt tears roll anew down his cheeks. Drawing a deep breath, Goliath threw his head back and roared. He roared for the death of his son, for the pain and for the anger.

The roar echoed throughout the castle and faded, startling everyone who heard it.

"Thailogs gone," Xanatos said to Owen.

"Indeed," Owen replied, in his typical expressionless way.

Goliath placed Thailogs hand at his side.

Thailogs face was peaceful now, the angry hardness gone forever.

Sighing, Goliath left the room and leaned on the wall just outside the door. He had watched his son die. It weighed heavily on his heart. But he knew one thing that comforted him greatly.

Goliath had witnessed Thailog find peace, and knew only he could have helped him find it. He had given Thailog the forgiveness he needed, and put his soul at rest.

He had witnessed Thailogs absolution.
