Watching the Oscars now, they're on screenplay. So if they are the reason we're waiting, the competition is winding down. :) Oh, btw, I'm just watching the Oscars because of what Coyote said. I usually find them boring, especially since when they snub a really good movie like they did this year (Truman Show). The paper tomorrow will tell me who wins, I don't care. I just hope they're over shortly.

**Coyote enters, snuffing the now nearly-exhausted candle and putting up a new one, a green and white one reading "73-66." He lights the candle with his Zippo, placing a small stuffed Sparty next to the holder.**
*sigh* Well, I have to be at least somewhat happy, since MSU got into the Final Four, y'know.
Thanks to everyone for your comments on "The Army of the Night." Now I consider this an extremely long hiatus prime writing time for me to get WCC written.
Kitainia: My thanks for your continued support. You have no idea how much it means to me. And I'll send you the screenplay as soon as I finish this.
Robby: There are two versions of "Demolition Man," one by Grace Jones and the other by Sting (the movie remake).
Oh, and you remember that special request I gave ya this last week? Better cue it up. I've been feeling way too maudlin these last couple of days.

*DEATH* (Robby, I hope you don't mind, but you're in this one.)
It's a quiet moment in the CR, until the main door of the CR slowly opens and Fleur strides in. On the other side of the CR, Sli Sludge looks up, then moves to face her. They glare at each other for a long moment, and Robby, sensing the mood, puts on a appropriate song - the one uses in countless 'showdown' scenes in old westerns. The music slowly builds as Fleur and SS circle each other. Claws are nervously bitten, the alligators sink to the bottom of the moat, and the Tree tries to look as inconspicious as possible.
Fleur leaps at SS. He leaps at her. There is a long, painfully one-sided battle. Finally, when SS is little more than a green and red liquid, Fleur stops pounding him.
And there was much rejoicing by all. :)
*END UNEXPECTEDLY LONG DEATH*
Hi all!
Yes, I am finally feeling better! I crawled into bed on Friday night and didn't emerge until Monday morning - andI think that, combined with the get well vibes everyone has been sending me (THANK YOU SO MUCH!) have worked!! THE MONSTERS ARE RETREATING!! WE WIN!! WE WIN!!
SOROW> I'm sorry, but I forgot to say this before - GET WELL SOON! Whatever it is, I hope it's not as bad as it feels. And I really really hope you don't have to go to this drill team camp.
Something else I forgot> Welcome to Lady Melisander
Jaden> >I thought that swearing at the machine was the one true computer language.< Oh yeah. Forgot about that one. But you have to admit, physical violence gets a better response. Especially my version of 'reboot', which requires my father's steel-toed boots. :)
Coyote> *Fleur watches Coyote pining and sighs. Then she pulls out her cell phone, and a few minutes later, the delivery guys enter the CR again, carrying a large, very comfy-looking chair, which they place carefully by the candle.* I have a feeling you'll be spending a lot of time here, so I thought you might as well be comfortable.
Robby/Heather> congrats on your three month anniversary.
Demona Tania> The macarana/gargoyles song was great!! I was laughing my butt off! (not a good thing to do in the Physics computer labs- although it is a good way to mess with people's heads >:) )

Let me just say that everybody is doing a great job with this web site and I hope it goes into a 3rd series.
O.k. read the stories in this site but one thing still bothers me, how come there hasn't been anything about Demona's life on this earth for 1000 years because we ought to know something about that.
Gotto go!

Jaden- Ooh, rotten luck! I know how that feels. I'm a Vinnie clone after all.
Kitainia- Looking for the Demolition Man theme, but without an actual song title or artist or composer name, its not getting very far on my normal searches... If I can't find it before the room wipe, I probably ain't going to without more info.
Lexy- Your top ten list was fun! I especially liked numbers 3 and 8! But number 6 would be even more fun, if it was cut the same way Riker's was in Star Trek 9... And it gets even more twisted if Marina Sirtis' gargoyle character does the same thing she did in the movie as her ST character...
Also Lexy, its a little of all three things. The room is always slow on Sunday, but this week its been particularly slow a lot of the week for some reason, perhaps because of Spring Break.

Hello, CR!!!
Did you like the song? I just came in here and thought: "What about a little song to motivate people to vote"? And that's when the song came to my head. (Me and my imagination!) To tell you the truth, I made the filks in less than ten minutes. I just wrote, and it rhymed! And I'm not kidding! It's the whole truth! [looks around] Don't tell this to anybody... but I sing in the bathroom. [blushes] Well, who doesn't!

Yes, I am still alive. I have my post ready, but since it's less than 24 hours until the room is wiped, I'm posting after the room wipe. As for you two (Doug and Kitainia), see I have my spring break starting the 31st, so that means I've been quite busy and shall continue to be quite busy for some time to come....As for today, I had alot of running around to do and I *JUST* got home from a 5 1/2 hour long StarCraft game. (5 computer against me and a friend. Oh yes we crazy.>:)) We won if anyone's interested. The combined death toll was over something like 5,000 units. Anyway, I appreciate the pokeing and prodding from you two but lately I just don't have the time for any posting except for possibily the weekend. One thing before I go, I wouldn't get *TOO* close to NORAD if I were you...>:))

$ Traveler: Okay, fine, post whenever you want. We'll go on without you. Just so you know, though, Doug and I would like for you to handle your character's interrogation. Please do it as soon as you can, we will take the action ahead while we wait. $
**RP HERE**
The Ravens have arrived back at the hotel, and Doug and Kitainia are in their room. Doug is on the phone with DumlaoX, arranging for him to become their supplier now that Gubio has checked DumlaoX out and found him to be more trustworthy than the demon lord Gothemenes was. An invisible pink imp watches from the shadows of the room, looking very worried. "The master won't like this," it whispers to itself. "The master won't like this at all." Kitainia hears the whispers and wonders if she's hearing things, then shrugs and turns to make a post.
**PAUSE RP**
Robby: Thanks for posting all the great pictures. I like the Brooklyn and Demona one, too, and the Elisa-goyle one is very cute. In answer to your question about who types when we both post, it's whoever's name comes first at the bottom. Sometimes Doug and I have things we both want to say, mutual feelings, you know. A post from both of us lets us say them and saves space while making the statements more profound. That's why we do it. Thanks also for posting the recent great songs (T2 and Taking Care of Business); I have a request. Can you find the theme from Demolition Man? Thanks for trying, no matter the result. :)
Kaioto: Yeah, but a lot of the Republicans want to mold the world to their own image. At least that's the idea I get from some of them. Like Pat Buchanan or Starr. Others are willing to sell out to special interests just to get ahead in the polls, like Trent Lott. Others, like Bob Smith, are to me REALLY annoying. Overall the party seems too critical of humanity, too unable to accept that in this world you have to take the bad with the good if you want to survive without going completely insane. That's why I don't like the GOP, to me they seem too selfish, too controlling, too intolerant. The Dems have their bad points, yeah, but they're more in line with my way of thinking. That's why I usually vote for them. No offense to any Republicans in here, of course.
**BEGIN COMMENTS ON AND SPOILERS FOR THE NEW TIMEDANCER EP**
This latest episode was really neat. Good job on it, TGS Staff! I liked all the development on Brooklyn and Sata, and I could really feel the emotions coming off Morgana and Glyndwyr. Excellent plot, terrific pics, superb imagery. Thanks so much for the entertainment. I would say more, but it's all already been said. Hope that on future fics you continue to do such a good job.
**SPOILERS/COMMENTS ON THIS OVER NOW**
$ Wilek: I don't think we need help with Borgzilla anymore, thanks for offering. For answers to your other RP questions, see the bit at the end of this post. $
Mandi: Doug and I have finished our papers now, thanks for the wishes of good luck!
JEB: Sounds like you made some great stuff. I'll check it out shortly, now that I have the time again. :)
Ravyn: If you're reading this, I just want you to know we still miss you and are continuing our prayers. Hope your parents are paying attention to the e-mails we've been sending and that you can soon come back. <sniff>
**BEGIN SPOILER/REVIEW OF FORCES OF NATURE**
Forces of Nature: Just saw this movie a couple days ago, and thought it was okay. I didn't like a lot of the plot or the jokes, and it was a little too anti-marriage. But the development on the three leads was good, and the end was really beautiful, so that made up for it. Ben's wedding vows went into my quote book. But other than the great charecterization and the ending, this movie got a BLEAH from me. Would have been better if when that guy Steve was coming on to Bridget, she would have thrown her drink in his face and kicked him in the you-know-where. That's what I would have done. The movie also needed a good fight, too bad there wasn't one. Oh well, it had its moments. Parts of it were good. Now I'm looking forward to seeing "The Matrix" next week, that movie looks really cool.
**THIS REVIEW/SPOILERS END, BEGIN ONES FOR COYOTE'S LATEST**
Coyote: Hey man, don't let your loss get you down. If she loves you half as much as you love her (and we all know Ravyn's the kind of person who does), she will come back to you. You'll survive this crisis, I know you will. So will your love. Doug and I pray for it. <grin> Now about your latest fic, thanks for the entertainment. It's good to see you can still do a great job on writing even with all the emotional hardship you're going through right now. Great character development on Rosanna, Puck, Demona, and especially Alex. I liked the scenes with him learning and casting the summoning spell. Cool plot in this story, too, and I'm glad you still have Thorn in action. The Sisters are also good new bad guys. As for Samson, it looks like his condition's worsening. I hope he turns out okay. And of course I can't wait for WCC. Keep up the good work, Coyote, I will be anticipating the next fics you put out (and my part in them). Congrats on your taxes and the new scanner, hope you soon put it to good use. Oh, btw, I also read and enjoyed your bando script.
**THESE SPOILERS/COMMENTS END**
DumlaoX: $ You're welcome. Don't worry, Doug and I will be using your character as much as we can in bits to come. BTW, if you want to come in and do some RP at any time, feel free. You don't need our permission to do it, the only reason we're harassing Traveler is we're going nuts with anticipation over what he's going to do next. <grin> Really, you're a part of the RP story as much as we are, even more considering that you provide the CR. Feel free to come in anytime you wish, friend. We'll be happy to welcome you. :) $
Joey: Thanks again for sharing your plans, good luck with them. Glad at least one person at Dinsey is on our side. I may also be going to see your movie, can you share what it's about?
The Crow: I've watched a few eps of that show. It's kinda interesting. There are better supernatural shows on TV, though, IMO. Buffy, X-Files, and Brimstone come to mind.
Okay, I'm too tired to say more now. Be back later, after the room's cleared. Hopefully Traveler will have posted by then. <fingers crossed> Later!
**BACK TO RP**
Doug hangs up the phone and smiles. "We have a new supplier," he says. "Good," Kitainia nods as Gubio rushes in, a shocked and worried expression on his face. "Doug!" he calls. "Kitainia! We just got this message from Wilek, you better read it!" Doug takes the sheet of paper Gubio hands him and looks at it, Kitainia glancing over his shoulder. They both soon get similar expressions to the one Gubio has. "Thailog is planning to attack NORAD?" Doug asks, looking at the message. "This is not good," says Kitainia. "Not good at all. With NORAD's missiles, and its technology, he could start World War 3." "We have to stop him," Doug vows. "It looks like Wilek is already putting his forces in place to help, that's good. Gubio, send Wilek a reply. Tell him we're heading back to Colorado Springs to counter this planned offensive. We'll meet him in the city, at a resturant called Red Robin. Okay?" "Yeah, fine," Gubio nods. "We'll do that. What about his offer to upgrade the Onslaught?" "Tell him we'll think about it. I'm not sure Borg technology will work as well against Thailog and the Phalanx as Wilek's hoping, and right now I think our truck-mech may be powerful enough." Gubio nods, then turns and leaves. Kitainia picks up the room's phone and calls Janice, telling her what's just happened. "You're still talking to Traveler?" she asks, Janice responding in the affirmative. "Okay," Kitainia tells her, "you better hurry up. We're gonna start packing for the trip to NORAD. If necessary, we'll bring Traveler along as a prisoner, but if you can, please get through with him before we have to leave. Okay, Janice, thanks. Later." She hangs up and looks at Doug, who is taking out their suitcases and putting stuff inside. "I hope we get there in time." "Me too," Doug agrees with her. "We can't let Thailog win this, Kit. No way, no how. We have to stop him." Kitania nods. "Don't worry, Doug. I'm sure we will."

Joey-That sounds soooooo cool!
Has anyone seen that TV show "The Crow" it's very good in my opinion, but for some unknown reason something is always trying to keep me from seeing it. Like today for example the security officers who was going to relieve me never showed up so I had to wait for a replacement and do you know what? He arrived right around the time that the show ended. The has been happening to me all month! And it is really beginning to tick me OFF!!!!

Robby: Yeah, but we kinda wanted to react to his whole relationship with the Marsh corporation, the interrogation, you know. When a guy tells you he's gonna do something, and then you wait and wait and wait and he still hasn't done it...well, you kinda lose trust in the guy, know what I mean? We're worried about Traveler, and we're having trouble thinking up what to do besides react to his revelations. But you have a point. It's his problem, not ours. If the guy can't post or he's not doing it for whatever reason, we shouldn't have to be held up by him. So we'll give Traveler till midnight by the CR clock. By then hopefully he will have posted. If not, we'll be moving on without him. <sigh> Thanks for your support.

Tom Petty's The Waiting doesn't seem to have a Midi in any of the 12 sites I use. Free Falling, Last Dance With Mary Jane, Learning to Fly, Into the Great Wide Open, Dont Come Around Here No More, Won't Back Down... Those are on most of them, but the Waiting? No go, sorry.

And guess who that is. :) <<This is almost an all time lull...>> Maybe it's because everyone's on spring break. Besides, most of the Internet seems to be on a similar lull; a lot of my favorite sites haven't been updated in a *long* time.

Demona Taina> Kewl filks! How long did it take you to write those anyhow? I'm really bad at songs and such...

Blue Caeru: From one college withrawee to another ... I feel your pain, my friend.

So believe me when I say, Blue, that I've been where you are ... in fact I'm still there ... and if you *do* manage to get back in, I'll be behind ya all the way. **hugs**

Gargs are at 72%, from a total of 475,545 votes. This is gonna be a record setter if it keeps up at this rate, and will probably hit millions range...
In other news, Cartoon Network picked the three greatest cartoon shorts of all time to include "What's Opera, Doc?" (Kill the wabbit!) the one with Michigan J. Frog, and the one where Daffy is dealing with a screwy animator. (Namely Bugs.) Good choices, and I was fairly surprised. only one Cartoon Network original made it to the top 50. (And it was one of their best ones.) So they weren't biased in their decisions... Nice. Of course, none of their top 50 were Disney, because of legalities... Ah well...

Hi everyone! My dad was voted the vice-president of my drill team booster club, and he's trying to find a way for me to still go to the convention. Is he not sweet or what? So I still have my fingers crossed.
***SPOILER THAT RELATES TO "IMMORTAL BELOVED" BY DYLAN BLACQUIERE!***
Coyote> Thank you very much for the info. I read in one of those two eps that Brooklyn tried to commit suicide and I wanted to know how and why. I finally found it, read it, and I must admit afterwards I was shaking! Just the whole scene with Brooklyn lying in his own blood is so disturbing. And poor Lex, I almost wanted to cry. But thanks again for the help!
***END SPOILERS***
Not much is going on here, so I'll go finish "A Tale of Two Cities." OKIloveyoubyebye!

Hey everyone. Well, things are _almost_ fixed... I'm going to withdraw completely this semester, then re-enter during the summer. I might have to pay back part of my loan, and I'll probably lose that state scholarhsip, but I can get it again the following academic year if my GPA is high enough. Once the details are cleared up, I'll be free to just chill out for a little over a month. *sigh* I guess that's a good thing, having time to build up my strength and stuff, but I had this strange dream last night where it took me like 7 years to graduate with my BA. Gee, I hope it's not a sign! But really, I don't know what I'm going to major in yet. I just hope it doesn't take me _too_ long to figure out what I want to do. Thanks again for all your help.
Hmm, things have been kinda slow here lately... anyway, I hope the new TGS ep will be up on time this week. I happen to like reading it in the middle of the night, just freshly posted. :-)

Guess what I'm doing right now. Designing a castle set for our school's production of 'Cinderella'. I want to put up Castle Wyvern, but it would be hard fitting a cliff and the ocean or the Aerie building into the auditorium. So I'm settling for the parapets' design with girly flags.

Hello everyone. Anyone here remember Christine's Night Of The Nut People? I think I had something vaguely like that today. It all started when, inspired by our recent Dr. Who discussion, I happened to type 'Daleks' into a search engine. Soon enough, I tripped over a site that happened to be showcasing a fan-created Dalek variant, the Spider Dalek. Needless to say, I was more than a little intrigued, and I began browsing Dr. Who links pages. I eventually came upon...the Dalek Resource WebHome (click my name). Apparently, Daleks are well-loved by those who are into 3D modeling and rendering; not only have rendering enthusiasts taken to creating normal Daleks, but all manner of variants. Now...the madness began. I began hunting down and downloading pics of every type of Dalek I could get my claws on. Crawling Daleks, swimming Daleks, tank Daleks, angel Daleks, I just couldn't stop; I even had to make a whole new folder on my hard disk to make room for the darn things! It would appear that I am now the room's resident Dalek stalker. <g> Christine had her Night Of The Nut Ppl...and I have my DAY OF THE DALEKS! <maniacal laughter> EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! <thwap> Ow! Thanks, I needed that...
Deuce> Hm, if it's such a pain, perhaps I'd better steer clear...But thanks anyhow. :) Oh, and great poem. I'm trying to do one myself, but I'm stuck on the third line...
DumlaoX> Hm...does this Radio function work like Shoutcast (I think that's what it's called) or MP3Spy? If it does, I have a *great* station for it...
Aaron> You mean, Fox made new eps of Dr. Who...?
The Voting> <sigh> It was hard...but I have my loyalties. Fun as they are, the Animaniacs must fall before the Greater Glory of Gargs! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! <thwap> Ow! Thanks.
Robby> Hm...your mascot worries may be more serious than you seem to think; something tells me this bodes ill for conventional animation...

Maybe someone can help me. When I first found sites about gargs on the Internet, I did a lot of exploring. I came across one series and saved two of the stories to my computer. I forgot about them and finally read them last night, but I erased them before I could read the author's name. I know that the titles were "A Gargoyle Went A Courtin' " and "Brooklyn's Wedding." He got married to some chick named Carb. If anyone knows what I'm talking about, please tell me or recommend a search site for gargs where I could find it. Thanks!

Just saw something disturbing. Sonny, the bird who's cucoo for Cocoa Puffs has been replaces by a live chimp named Cocoa. That is not right. In fact, all the cereal mascots seem to have disappeared. The Sugar Bear of Golden Crisp fame dissapeared years ago, as did Count Chocula and his group. Lucky the Frosted Lucky Charms Leprechan? He may still be around, but I haven't seen him in a while. Snap, Crackle, and Pop were actually in a commercial the other day, like their first in six months, with new voices. Again. The three bakers for cinamon toast crunch were parred down to one years ago, and now even he seems to be gone. Pebbles still have Fred and Barney, unfortunatley... Cookie Crisp lost the criminal when the dog Chip became more popular, and the police office shortly after when they tried to give Chip a good guy image. Tucan Sam of Froot Loops, (I remember when the logo only had three different colors in it, and now they've added an exclamation mark to include all five flavors...) still seems to be going, but his commercials are few and far between, and they've been rather surreal lately. Captain Crunch now only makes cameos, and Tony the Tiger... Well, Tony's always been the coolest mascot, and he's still around, but not as often as he should be. What has happened to all the cereal mascots? Is it just a decline in the popularity of animation? Are the many years old mascots starting not to sell anymore? Or is just the matter of a live action chiwawa speaking Spanish sells more than they ever did? In any case, its bad tidings for animated characters...
Dang, am I stuck for something to talk about or what?

Please pardon this shameless plugging, but I keep forgetting ...
As I'm sure I've mentioned in here numerous times, I'm aspiring to be a screenwriter.
**loud yells of "Yeah, Coyote, we've heard it before."**
Well, okay. Anyway, if you're interested (and I mean *really* interested) to see what kind of screenplay I can write ... I happened today to find one on a disk entitled "The Summer Bugles" that I wrote based on a short story I wrote for a class in college. It's not fantasy, nor sci-fi in any aspect ... but if anyone's interested in seeing what the secret lives of bandos are like, let me know and I'll send ya a copy. One of these days, I'm planning on registering it with the Writer's Guild (East, more than likely, since they offer screenplay registration over the Web.).
Okay, I'll leave now. **looks at candle** Or maybe not. **sits back down, chin in hand, gaze on the flame, and ... you guessed it ... pines more for Ravyn.**

Gargs is ahead by 60%, with a grand (meaningless) total of 171,367 votes cast in less than one day. Already we've passed the grand total we had against Ren and Stimpy after a week, and the grand total Animaniacs had against Doug after a whole week. Of course, Tick and Underdog had grand totals of 359,330 and 643,273 by the end of their week. Whats this mean? If we win this round we'll be up against some stiff cheating in two weeks. At least with Doug against Superfriends, and it's meager 1560 votes, or Speed Racer vs. Fat Albert with 1369 votes, you know there was probably actual voting going on...
What was the point of recapping this? None really, but the room hasn't said much at all today so I had nothing better to talk about.

Yeah, the daleks are cool. But I'm gonna have to disagree with them having inspired the borg. I think the Cybermen inspired the borg.
The Master was always a great character, whatever Doctor he went up against. My favorite was Survival, when he was morphing into a werecheetah.

"I didn't do it!"
(Argent arches an eyebrow.)
"Well, someone's suffering from a guilty conscience. While YOU have been behaving yourself, your buddy here's in trouble."
(Sli Sludge looks at Argent.)
"And you are?"
"Argent. The one you seem to take such a delight in by making me sick on holidays. The one you gave pnemonia to on Thanksgiving TWICE?"
(SS is starting to look noticably uncomfortable. Argent smirks.)
"I thought that would refresh your memory." (Quick as a flash, he finds himself in a bone lock.) Oh, allow me to introduce you to my friend." (Jewel*D strides in at half her full size.)
"And now that I'm feeling better, and on behalf of all the other sick posters: Jewel*D! Scorch 'im!"
(Waves of flame temporarily block the screen. When they clear, SS is charcoal.)
NOW I feel MUCH better!

Latest TD ep- Still haven't had a chance to read this weeks. Instead I've been proofing one that comes about 9 weeks from now. Oii.
Role Playing games- Ah geez, the TMNT one! I'd forgotten all about that! that sucker is up in my attic someplace... I may have to go off and drag it out this weekend...
Relationships from fandom- Oh gee, I gotta agree here. It would be immpossible to have a relationship with someone who wasn't a fan of the stuff I like, or at least a fan of something. I have several friends who don't get it, but my closest buddies that I make it a point to stay in contact with do. And Heather is another matter entirely... Lucky me, we enjoy many of the same things... (For the record, we just finished off month number three yesterday...)
Daleks- Face it, those guys inspired the Borg. Personally, they scared the spit out of me when I was younger, because they weren't a guy in a costume. Well, they were, but you couldn't tell because they had no arms or legs... Personally, I always liked the Master, especially against Doctor number 3. (Jon Pertwee)
You know you're suffering from Gargoyle withdrawl when... Um, I usually only suffer side effects after an overdose... When it happens, I get all sorts of funky dreams. Whats really bad, is playing an video game so much in one day, you can still see it when you close your eyes. Its happened to me with Secret of Mana, and Tetris. Scary game, Tetris.
What do non-fan people do with their time- Um,sports I think.
Wavelength- "You know about the hatching? But Sata isn't even pregnant yet!" I said it before, but to be more accurate, I have a vauge idea of the hatching, I was thinking of the laying. Won't be a pleasant experiance for Brooklyn. (Insert evil laugh reminiscent of something Lonny would do.) And as far as Sata not being pregnant yet... How do you know she isn't?
People wanting feedback- I read your stories, but to be honest, I only skim them... I just don't have time to read every piece of fanfic like I used to! I'd gotten up to past 300, well on my way to reading every piece of garg fanfic on the net, and now I have writing obligations to four different series! Ah well... In short, I don't send mail, because I only skimm. Usually pretty good stuff though...

DC'S GONNA DIE!! AGAIN!!
**Coyote enters the room. Dis Connect backs away from him slowly.**
Don't worry, Dis, I have something for ya. Sorry about last night.
**Dis nods slowly as Coyote hands him his peace offering ... a nine inch long Cuban cigar. Dis grins greedily, biting off the end and securely sticking it in his mouth as Coyote reaches for his Zippo.**
Here ... have a light.
**Coyote lights the cigar, ducking behind the table quickly. Dis takes a couple puffs off the cigar ... which suddenly EXPLODES, leaving Dis minus the entire top half of his body. Coyote cautiously stands up by the table, performing his nightly ritual of changing the candle.**
And THAT'S for driving that damn backhoe into my ISP's T1 connection and keeping 'em down for SIX HOURS!!
**composes self**
Sorry. But it's aggravating when an errant piece of heavy construction machinery knocks out yer entire ISP for half a day. **sigh** Oh well.
Kitainia: Thanks for the answers. You're right about the last one, luck has to have played a *huge* role in getting you two together ... **sighs, plants chin in hand and pines for Ravyn some more**
SOROW: You're quite welcome.
Stormy: I don't need mind-altering drugs, either. I've got genetic weirdness from my mother's side. :)
Seriously, though, the heaviest stuff I've ever been on was a prescription for codeine I had once. Didn't do much to me, though ... then again, this is the same guy who gets put to sleep by caffeine.
Lady Mel: As you should feel welcome. We always make everyone feel welcome!
Kaioto: Which CCG's? Any INWO in there? (Please say yes ...)
JEB: Closest I ever got to an RPG was *one* game of Paranoia I tried. Too strange for my taste ... though I do have one of the original D&D sets around here somewhere ... probably in the same netherrealm my copies of GURPS and GURPS Supers went ...
Wilek: Ugh ... WASP stands for "White Anglo-Saxon Protestant." Normally an insult.
Fleur: Thank you for your support.
Durid: I will be sending my message first thing in the morning ... wait, after I try reinstalling my scanner (they said it was fixed ... we'll see ...) ... and filing my taxes ... ehh, might be late afternoon before my eye appointment and the Spartans play.
Fic authors: believe me, folks, I'm trying to find time to read all of these great fics I keep hearing about (Doug, I'll have you know I have a special interest in "Vengeance," since I *really* liked Vengeance Unlimited :). After this weekend, I will have feedback for everyone who wants it. I promise.
*sigh* Don't mind me ... I'm just feeling particularly lonely tonight, so I'm just gonna stick around. **plants chin firmly in hand, sighs once more, fixes his eyes on the candle's flame and pines for Ravyn once again.**

**WARNING-RP HERE**
The TV comes on, with the hangar of Thailog's secret base. T'angelo, Bruce, Jerry, and the rest of the NORAD strike team is loading their vehicles and preparing to move out. "That's the last of it," Kathleen says as she slams a car trunk. "Can we go kill some people now?" "I like your bloodlust, sugar," T'angelo chuckles, clapping her on the shoulder. "Ise also glad it ain't the only lust you have." He walks past her, turning to the others. "Okay, team! Listen up!! Wese moving out to NORAD now, thanks to our late start it's ETA one week. You hear me, one week!" The three stupid goons behind him start singing "One Week" and T'angelo rolls his eyes. "Let's go!" he yells at them and they all hop into their vehicles and head out. A gate opens for their convoy and they zoom down a long underground highway. The convoy contains thirty cars, fifteen pickups, seventeen jeeps, twelve tanks, ten MACK trucks, and over a hundred motorcycles. The troops inside them are too numerous to count. It looks like trouble's ahead for NORAD.
The screen changes to the Ravens, who are still running from the big Borg-monsters clomping after them. As they try to dodge the creatures' stomping feet and fired lasers and flame blasts, Doug turns to make a CR post.
**PAUSE RP**
Hi, everyone! I'm back, no thanks to the guy who nuked my Internet connection practically all day. <grabs DC through a portal to the CR and throws him in the monsters' path. The guy is quickly obliterated> There, that takes care of him. Oh well, at least I finally got my research for the second paper done today, and Kitainia got her second one finished. I'll do the actual paper I researched tomorrow, right now I just want to relax. :)
Robby: Thanks for the garg gestation info. That should be very helpful in fics to come. Speaking of which, "Slayer Senshi" is progressing nicely. This fic will take me a little longer to write than the previous few, but it will be done. Don't worry.
Blue: Good job on resolving your situation. I wish you continued luck. I also agree with your assessment of Andrea and Demona's relationship. That's got to be how it is, and outside our dirty minds, that's how it will stay. <chuckle>
JEB: Hey man, don't congratulate me yet. I still got two more papers to go. I'll do the second tomorrow before Kit and I go see Forces of Nature (really looking forward to seeing that, btw), and the other one I can do Sunday because it'll be short and I'll have nothing else to do that day thanks to the Academy Awards coming on instead of my favorite shows. :( Cool AD&D stuff, I would be interested in seeing more on your site.
**BEGIN COMMENTS/SPOILERS ON NEW TIMEDANCER**
Alright, another Shakespeare tie-in, this time with Henry IV, Part 1! That's one of my favorite Shakespeare plays, btw. I wonder if Brooklyn and Sata will ever run into more major characters from it like Prince Hal or Falstaff. :) But enough about Shakespeare, this ep was very nicely done. I liked all the character development done on Brooklyn, Sata, and Morgana (especially the latter's similarities to Demona, I wonder if they'll ever meet). Glyndwr also made a neat wizard character, I enjoyed his development and the conflict between him and the others. The episode also had well-researched history in it and a really great plot. And like ED mentioned, excellent atmosphere, charm, and interaction. Good job!
The only problems I see with it were in the pics. I couldn't see the second (broken link), and the first had nine stones where there should have been seven (but it was still good). That's not much of a problem, I guess. Overall, good job, thumbs up, I give it an 8.7.
**COMMENTS/SPOILERS OVER NOW**
Wilek: $ Do we need help with the monsters? I don't know, maybe. HELP!!! <Suddenly the Onslaught appears, driving towards the Ravens at full speed while dodging a large group of hysterical fleeing San Franciscans> Okay, good, help's on the way. :) We may still need you, though. If we do at the end of this post, feel free to drop in. Thank you. $
Robby: Man, that is one cute picture. No wonder Goliath really fell in love with her that night. <LOL>
TRC: Good to see you again. Hope you're not still having e-mail troubles. If not, please don't forget to try sending that feedback again. If so, <exasperated sigh> :(
Fleur: Check your e-mail, I sent you the idea Deuce sent Kitainia and me about Ravyn's situation. Hope it helps answer your question from last post. And that your message helps Ravyn.
Durid: You aren't the only one who's been getting little feedback lately. <sighs> I hope people are still reading my fics.
Okay, I guess that's it for now. Later, people!
**BACK TO RP, THIS ONE'S LONG**
The Onsluaght pulls up alongside the fleeing Ravens, and they all quickly hop into the soon-crowded cab. "You got here just in time!" Doug tells Jammer as they keep fleeing the monsters, driving across the Golden Gate bridge. "Yeah," Keith says from his seat beside Jammer. "So we noticed." Tricia, Gubio, Elena, and Orion also nod, the latter quickly seeing to the team's wounds. "Where's everyone else?" Kitainia asks them. "Back at the hotel talking to that Traveler guy," Tom answers. "I hope he's answering their questions." "Me too,: Kitainia says. "But right now we got bigger problems. Those monsters are wrecking the city and they're getting closer to us. We have to take them out!" "Hang on," Jammer grins, pulling the Onslaught to a stop as they get over the bridge and hitting a red button. "Time to put our little improvements to work!" Everyone holds on to their seats as the Onslaught's cab detaches from its trailer, then transforms into a large humanoid robot a la the original Optimus Prime. Its exhaust pipes become shoulder cannons, a missile pod opens on the back, and a sword and shield of pure energy are generated by the hands. Jammer smiles at the others. "DumlaoX helped us build this," Gubio says as the transformation becomes complete. "Is it cool or what?" They all nod as Jammer turns the robot to face MechaGodzilla, who is landing beside them on its rocket-powered feet.
Jammer quickly slashes at the huge Borg-robot, reducing it to a pile of scrap metal with a quick combo of swings and thrusts. He then activates the transformed Onslaught's eye lasers, incinerating the pieces of MechaGodzilla's corpse. The other three monsters have by now crossed the short span of ocean and are advancing on the Ravens' giant mech. Jammer spins the Onslaught around, firing a missile into each of them. Beside him, Tricia targets the shoulder-cannons on Megalon's eyes and obliterates the huge cockroach in several quick shots. The monster crumbles and falls down, crashing into Borgzilla. Jammer temporarily ignores them, giving Gigan the same treatment he gave MechaGodzilla and then turning the Onslaught's powerful eye-lasers on Megalon's healing corpse. Now only Borgzilla, who has gotten back up and is roaring at the Ravens, remains. Jammer blocks a stream of radioactive fire with the Mech's shield, Elena at the same time leaning out the truck's window and firing a mitochondria--total-ignition blast as Tricia hits Borgzilla with the shoulder cannons and Gubio with several more missiles. The monster roars again, taking heavy damage and falling back. Jammer uses the eye lasers to finish it off. "Alright!" he yells as Borgzilla is annhilated. "We got them!" The Ravens cheer and high-five one another. "Okay, Doug smiles. "That takes care of the monster problem. Now we have to talk to Traveller. Change the Onslaught back into a truck, Jammer. We're returning to the hotel."

Quick post:
UPN is trying to find a new show that will put it back into competion with the WB. Shall we e-mail them and suggest Greg Weisman and Gargoyles? Remember, BOTH Greg and Gargs! Click my e-mail to do so.
Yes, I know it probably won't work, but at the very least a bunch of e-mails will get their attetion and keep the production heads from totally dimissing Gargoyles as a failed cartoon. Let's keep the Fandom alive not only in fanfiction, but in the heads of networks as well!
P.S. Did anyone read my last story "And There Shall Alawys Be A Hunter" and try to send an e-mail? For some reason I go NO fanmail from it. I cannot tell you just how depressing that is. I need my fanmail to help summon the creatavity demon!
***RP EXIT***
Durid goes over the Summmon Creavity Demon spell. "Let's see what do I need.... well worn dragon-footed slippers, check. A lock of my hair, check. Blood-smeared keyboard key.... getting that hurt, and I am still re-groing my fingernails, but check. One liter of SURGE of Mountion Dew, need to stop and gorcery store! Three yards of carpeting, I am going to replace that spot I wore out before I start again! Three pieces of fanmail - good or bad doesn't matter....." Looks at everyone, "Well? Can I have some help here?"

Jaden took a long hard look at the latest threat and said, "This is a problem isn't it?"

Hades: Yes some very powerful friends, I must make some new allies myself. Soon, Jaden, I will hear your thoughts and see through your eyes." With that Hades melted into a dark mist and disappeared. Screen fades out.

Jaden crawls into the CR. I thought that I wouldn't make it but I did. Piles of homework were everywhere, teachers appeared from every corner, and books were flying across the sky. But I made it for now.
Ordell- I think the Star Wars trailer is worth the $7.50, if you can't see it off the internet.
Wing Commander-I admit it I saw it. Even though it could have been a lot better, I think that it was alright.
Fleur-I thought that swearing at the machine was the one true computer language.
Mandi Ohlin-<Gargoyles Withdrawl> What if you have a dream about Demona trying to ALMOST all of the human population and you can't figure out why you weren't trying to stop her.
Mary Flanders- I don't think that it is illegal for an 18 year old to just date someone younger, but it is if they have sex.
Well I'm going to have dinner, do some homework, and then read the latest TD. See ya later!

Ironwolf> Actually, I live in Carrollton. It's about 5 minutes off of Dallas. So you can see how deeply upset I was.
Spirits from the Vastly Deep> Not really a spoiler. I just thought it was cool that I'm studying the English Civil War in history right now.
I just heard something very interesting from my dad. I told both my parents the whole deal with drill team camp and G99, and my dad said not to give my hopes up just yet. I asked him why, and he told me that my teacher hasn't even asked the school board if we can go to this camp in Houston. And that means... there might be a very, very slim chance I can still go to G99. Not much of a reassurance, but it's definately better than no chance at all :) Fingers are crossed!

No time for a full post, but on the issue of how long Brooklyn and Sata have been Dancing... Oh, I'd say they're on about their 5,000th year of it... No, seriously, we're not really sure, there's no way of keeping track. But at this point in the season I can safely say they've been married for less than 8 years, and its probably a number somewhat lower than that.
And as far as the hatching goes, well, I have a vauge idea about that. More acuratley, I should have said I know how the laying will go, and how painful that'll be for Sata. And Brooklyn consequently...

*creeps in*
Ok, the past two days have been a little unusual for me. Yes, even me. ;P Yesterday, my 98-year-old neighbor from up the street came over and tried to set me up with his 21-year-old grandson. This is a man who's only purpose for living now is to try and get my neighborhood or me to go out and do things wih him. I'm not social. Leave me alone! :P I'm also desturbed by the fact that he doesn't remember how old I am. Isn't it a felony in California (and everywhere else) for a minor to go out with someone over 18?
The second thing that happened was when I was sitting in the Learning Center at my school reading a newspaper (Learning Center is a place for kids with bad grades to go to work on school stuff. I'm a peer tutor.) about this guy who robbed a bank in my town 16 years ago. It said he was a phsycologically desturbed person and on, and I quote: "one of the newest anti-phsycotic medications, resperdal." WHAT!?! I'm on the same stuff!!! My doctor didn't tell me I am on an anti-physco drug! 'Course, I think I should have gotten the hint when she told me I have a phsycosis and my medicine is usually for people with scitsophrinea(sp?). I just find it eerie to be on the same medication as an ex-convict. *sigh* My life is nuts!
Now I'm off to read the new Timedancer episode. Later!

JEB - Yes, "King Arthur Pendragon" is still in print. It was originally made by Chaosium Inc. (better known for its "Call of Cthulhu" RPG), but is now done by GreenKnight Publishing. I am slightly acquainted with Peter Corless, the head of GreenKnight Publishing (strictly over the Internet). Here are some of the titles in their line-up:
KING ARTHUR PENDRAGON: The basic rules, contain information about Arthurian Britain, character generation, game mechanics, etc. It even has stats for King Arthur, Queen Guinevere, Sir Lancelot, and a few others. Players are usually knights, but there are some optional rules for playing magic-users, although it's discouraged. (Magic is very difficult in this game; you have to either sleep it off for a few weeks after casting a spell, or do a little premature aging).
THE BOY KING: Deals with the early years of Arthur's reign (the Sword in the Stone, his marriage with Guinevere, the Battle of Mount Badon, Morgana's attempts to destroy him, Lancelot's arrival at court, etc.) and allows the player-characters to participate in them. Includes stats for the younger Arthur and Guinevere, plus Merlin, Morgana, and a few others, and a discussion of how Arthurian Britain gradually evolves over the course of the reign (the point when Arthur becomes King is analogous to Norman England, while the Battle of Camlann is analogous to the Wars of the Roses).
SAVAGE MOUNTAINS: Information about Wales.
BLOOD AND LUST: Don't be put off by the title; it's a lot better than it sounds. Some sample adventures, and a description of East Anglia.
PERILOUS FOREST: A description of the Lake District, including Hadrian's Wall. Also allows the player to visit the Castle of the Holy Grail.
THE SPECTRE KING: More adventures, and a description of Cambridge.
PAGAN SHORE: A "spin-off" about Ireland in the Arthurian Age, primarily the Ireland of Cuchulain and Maeve (who are both mentioned), but with influence already from Christian missionaries such as St. Patrick, and from King Arthur, who wants to introduce the code of chivalry and Right over Might to the Irish.
BEYOND THE WALL: Scotland in Arthur's day; a lot of information about the Picts, and even stats for the Loch Ness Monster and the Nuckelavee.
LAND OF GIANTS: All about Scandinavia in Arthur's day, which is also the time period of Beowulf (and also Amleth, the original Hamlet, whom you might recall from Timedancer's "Conscience of the King"); another spin-off. Allows the player characters to have the opportunity of slaying Grendel in Hrothgar's hall before Beowulf can arrive.
LORDLY DOMAIN: Information on being a landed nobleman, running your own estate, castle-building, etc.
The game's well-researched and a lot of fun, and I can highly recommend it.

Hi all.
This is gonna be short, 'cos I think the sick monsters didn't like the taste of Kenny, and they've headed back to me. I don't even feel up to pounding the new immortal, but much thanks to Wilek for inventing him. :)
Firstly, what is happening with this send-a-letter-to-Ravyn's parents thing? It's a fantanstic idea, but I'm not how I should go about it. Should I send it to her email address, with something like 'To Ravyn's mum and dad - please read' in the subject heading, or something else? Please tell me.

Ed- I couldn't get the second picture at the main site either but it does come up at the text site for some reason.
Since I'm already talking about the text site, in the Timedancer season one archives there I can't get into FLEETING ENCOUNTERS and DAYLIGHT. They work at the main site but not at the text site. Just wanted to bring it up so that it could be fixed.
Timedancer Question:
How long exactly have Brooklyn and Sata been travelling as of the latest episode?
(I figured that since they don't have the twins yet that it has to be somewhere in the first twelve years of their travels (since the twins are both 18 plus the 10 years that their eggs have to sit around so that takes up 28 of the 40 years) but exactly far into the 12 years are they?

Wow! Looks like I started a good topic with the RPG stuff. :) You all play a fascinating variety of games. :)
Kitania> Alas, no, I don't work for TSR. I just meant that I made stuff for my own campaign, and more recently for my own enjoyment. Sorry about the misconception. I did get some items posted on AOL's old TSR Online, if that counts. :)
As for what I made... you can find a few items on my site, From the Brain of JEB (click, look under Texts). Most notable for those in here are the Dargoyle PC race (guess what that's based on? ;) and a Ravenloft domain called Veneficium. I also made a number of PC races and classes, magical items, artifacts, a part of a campaign world, monsters (an especial number of them- the monsters were what got me into AD&D :) and lots more. :) I have lots as yet untranscribed or unposted... if you (or anyone else) is interested, I could post them on that page.
Stephen> You play TMNT? That was my very first RPG. :)
Steve> The Star Wars RPG conversions for Exo-Squad and Gargs sound very interesting... I don't suppose you have the texts in electronic form? I'd rather like to see them. :)
I suppose you won't be seeing that, tho... Enjoy your break!

***COMMENTS/SPOILERS FOR ‘SPIRITS FROM THE VASTY DEEP’***
This is sensational. It has atmosphere, charm, great Sata, Morgana and Glyndwyr character bits, *superb* and sensationally vivid writing. Oh, let’s not forget the great suspense that this managed, the way it successfully portrayed the coming together off all the initial questions. Nor should I overlook commending the excellent endings, the fab minor characters complimenting the major ones and bringing back one of the coolest new TGS villains (where has Morgana been in present day is what I want to know? Unless I’m being especially thick, she hasn’t been about since QUEST’S END which is chronologically… 10 to 12 months or something?)
Anyway, this is a spectacular piece. Delightful.
Jessica Entis: Cool pic (the second I can’t view) but isn’t the sky a little light? It looks like the middle of the day, but the gargoyles would be in stone.
Wavelength: I doubt it’s your computer since I can’t get the second pic either. :(

<---Pronunciations of this bad lady's name - I've been saying it May-eve, since I think of Medb(Maab) as the faerie from Merlin, and more recently, Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog. Her characterization is just so much better than those two, I've got to distinguish her somehow.
One thought on 'The Longest Day 1 + 2'
*****************Spoilers***********************************
Wouldn't any gargoyles awake at high noon in NY have been affected? Like gargs in Ishimura? (I'm not sure if they'd be awake at that time, but there would be gargs awake somewhere) And even Demona herself? I can't believe she'd sacrifice herself. Thank goodness she's re-growing her heart and spared the world for the sake of Andrea.

I get similar responses from people about the CR: "Why do you find that so interesting? It looks boring!" What can I say? What this place means to me can't really be described in words; I just have to show people, and hope they understand.
On another note: my Science class is so boring, it actually _stimulates_ creativity! I wrote a killer app for my calculator, as well as a poem, today while my student teacher went on and on and on.... Click my name for the poem, EM me for the calculator program (it's for a TI-83).

****TGS SPOILERS****
Spirits From the Vastly Deep: Yet another excellent episode. I found this one to be very entertaining. I especially enjoyed the comparison between Morgana Le Fay and Demona. Obviously by the 1990's she has still not realized the error in her ways, so I will assume that this issue will be dealt with in future Pendragon episodes. Sata's reaction to Cyngen was very well portrayed as well as her annoyance at not being the calm and logical one for once. The illustrations were also of high quality.

Hey all,
Well, this is my last post before I leave for break in about an hour, so I probably won't be around until, oh, the 29th or so. By then I'll have plenty of catching up to do, so keep things crazy for me in the meantime!
Chat room > I agree with Robby, it's like playing phone tag. Hopefully things will liven up once everybody finds out about the thing, because I really do like the idea.
Wilek > Mail was sent w/ attachments, let me know if you got it or not, as CU's mail server often seems to have a problem with sending file attachments off-server.
Argent > I pronounce it "Mayve." Right or wrong, it's probably how I'll always say it.
Stephen > Well, I never said I *played* Battletech, I just own a couple of books for the game. Kind of a "Hey-this-looks-like-a-cool-robot-so-I'll-get-the-book" kind of deal. Never had the opportunity to play, sorry.
Okay, I've got a bus to catch! See you all in a week!

IRONWOLF: Personally, I can't imagine trying to carry on a relationship with someone who didn't understand the fandom, on account of it being so much a part of my life.
COmpletely hypothetically (on account of Mr. Blacquiere having pretty well ended my days of playing the field ;-) assuming I was single again...
I wouldn't insist that any potential relationship candidates necessarily be Gargoyles fans, (though that would be a perk) but they'd pretty much have to be part of SOME sort of fandom--Star Trek, X-files, Buffy, TaleSpin, I don't particularily care what--enough so that they could understand the importance of fanfic, the enjoyment of watching the show, the discussion of continuity, and not roll their eyes and say, "what do you see in this stupid crap." So many of my RL friends just don't get it and it's SOOOO hard, that I'm really excited about a new fic idea or a TGS episode or someone did a pic for me or whatever, and they just blink their eyes and don't get it...there's this big part of my life I can't even talk about with them.
What do non-fan people DO with their time?!??
I guess, without non-fan people, I wouldn't be able to scare anyone when they realize that Wagner talks to me, or other kinds of psychotic fic-character induced behaviour...BWA HA HA
But when Dylan and I are discussing our creativity demons together into the middle of the night--our "storytime" or "shoptalk" nights--I just think, how much it would suck if the person I cared about most wasn't interested at all in what I had to say...it was like when I was a little kid and tried to share my stuff with my family, who DID NOT CARE.

*pokes her head into the room* Queen Maeve's name is pronounced MEEV, according to my old Celtic Myth professor; same vowel sound as Medb (pronounced MEEB), the name she used when she was the queen of Connacht (see "The Tain", last season).
Belated Happy St. Patty's to everyone what celebrates it.

I seem to be missing a lot lately, so catchup is kind of tough.
Robby> Cute pic! Well, the half of it that loaded before I got cut off... :)
You Know You're Suffering from Gargoyles Withdrawal When:
...you sleep in because you were tricked by a very vivid dream about being lost in Dallas for G99 because you don't have a costume. (Although when my best friend's little brother entered the scene, I should've been clued in right then.)
Analyze This> Last night was designated 'Dad time' (which is what comes of having divorced parents) and I conned him into seeing this flick again. Anyway, I'm glad I did. It was a riot, although the laughs were pretty well spaced out. Crystal and De Niro played off each other perfectly, and Lisa Kudrow was surprisingly good. I won't spoil it here, but if you do see it, do NOT go to the bathroom during the big meeting at the end. You'll regret missing it.
Of course, I've been catching up with my tapes of "The Sopranos," and even then I didn't spend too much time comparing the two. The premise is the same, but after that the similarities end.
Anyway, I just finished the written part of my calculus project, but just realized I have to type the non-equation sections up. Doug, Kitania, good luck on those papers--I understand where you're coming from!
And although it's belated: Hope everyone had a great St. Patrick's Day!

CUSTOM DESKTOPS - Brian, right click on any icon, select the shortcut tab, then look for the "Change Icon" button to switch out any general icon. I recenly downloaded a neat theme from Aimee Major's page, and it's going to stick there for a while.
The only thing I want to know is how can I change the dull yellow Folder icons into any other icon? I HATE having a bunch of them on my desktop!
WILEK - Ah! You like the "Salt & Pepper Shakers With Attitudes", eh? I thought it was corny but cool how they worked them into "The Five Doctors" episodes, and even still had the guy who did the voice of the Daleks alive to have them say "You-Will-Obey!".
NEW TD EP - I've read this one in post-production, and again when it was posted and all I have to say is this: Fans, keep your eye on Anna! She's going to be a big writer in the near future! Great job, Anna!
DARK AGES - Argent, while this isn't offical, I can say that the way things are progressing with Breakdowns and such, if the Staff Writer's give the performance they have been all Season 2 long, you might see Dark Ages Season 2 sooner than you think... but don't quote me on that. It's strictly off the record.
STEVE GOOCH - HEY! A Battletech Player?!? Cool! EM me on what's your favorite Mecha to use!

Role playing games> I don’t think there is a game I don’t play or have tried, only a few I don’t own. Top five hmm Shadowrun, AD&D, Deadlands, Werewolf, Chill, and Champions(ok it is six not five so I have no life sue me). Top RPGS I probably will not try uhh The Sailor Moon game. Actually my gaming has slacked off due to lack of other people. It’s kind of sad because I really enjoy RP oh well sigh
Blue Caeru > good news for you the dropping of classes for one semester will not effect your student loan ( I know form experience) so you will not have to start paying it yet; hope that sets your mind at ease
SOROW > mabey the gathering will be some place close to Houston next year like New Orleans (its not that bad of a drive I have family in Houston and Merecades so lets just say I am familiar with drive times)
minor longest day 2 discussion*******
I don’t know what Andrea’s feelings for Demona are, but she did seem jealous of Elisa. Mabey she was upset that Demona had not mentioned other friends? kind of of weird.
*************************
Speaking of relationships has any one here ever have a relationship work with a person not interested in fandom? Every relationship I have had has been with a girl not interested in fandom and the relationship ended up not working. They just could not understand why I like “stupid” cartoons and games. Yea I know mabey I just need a life, but I do enjoy fandom and I don’t, can't or won’t give it up. I would feel like a traitor to turn my back on it. So am I just unlucky or has any one else had the same problems?
well I am off to Moc for some serious debauchery yall don’t have too much fun this weekend or do :)

Wilek> You got the Riven soundtrack?! Wow! I've been looking for it all over; it's available at the local CD store, but since it's an import, it's about $27. It's been on hold for me at the library since October. :-) Think I could get some MP3s off it from you? (I have the Myst sdtrk. if you'd like to trade songs).

ST. PATRICK'S DAY - I forgot to give everyone here best wishes for it; oops. Sorry about that. Actually, St. Patrick didn't drive the snakes out of Ireland; it's never had snakes to begin with. People were commenting on this long before he ever got to Ireland, in fact.
ROLE-PLAYING GAMES - I used to play AD&D, but I later lost interest in it. The only RPG that I spend much time with now is "King Arthur Pendragon", an excellent Arthurian role-playing game which would doubtless be of interest to "Pendragon" fans, and maybe even "Gargoyles" and TGS fans in general. It's of particular interest in putting a strong emphasis on characterization and internal conflict as well as on such conventional activities in RPGs as battles and adventures. (While officially an Arthurian game, it also has three spin-off books for similar RPGs set in ancient Ireland of a sort that Cuchulain and Maeve would feel at home in, Pictish Scotland - this book includes stats for the Loch Ness Monster and the Nuckelavee, BTW, and Scandinavia in the time of Beowulf).
PRONOUNCING "MAEVE" - Accounts vary, but I always pronounce it to rhyme with "Wave".

LEXY> I also like Wishbone.
LADY MELISANDER> Aloha! What in particular do you want to know about Gargoyles?
ROBBY> That Toon Psyche thing is pretty accurate. ALSO: I KNOW it's Queen who sings 'Another One Bites the Dust'. Give me a break, I'm sick! :)
ANOTHER Pronunciation question> Do you say 'Maeve' Mab, Mav, or Mave?
We all know one of the Spice Girls named their son Brooklyn, but did you hear the name of another one's new daughter? Phoenix.

**NO RP TONIGHT. DON'T KNOW WHY.**
$Kitainia> Need any help with Borgzilla and friends?$
Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! I'm not wearing green; it's one of the few colors I look truly hideous in (green clothing with dark blue skin? <gag>). Whoever tries to pinch me: take your hands off me or I'll take your hands. (I've always wanted to say that. <g>)
Gargoyle Homosexuality (I hereby formally apologize to whoever I'm about to offend)> Isn't this topic rather inappropriate to the room? Besides, I have an instinctual (and quite possibly genetic) 'ick' reaction to this entire subject; there's something about the concept of gay gargs that strikes me, on some deep subconscious Jung-esque level, as being quite impossible and inherently *wrong*.
Deuce (I think)> FINALLY found a copy of Echoes, and it's just as awesome as you led me to believe. ^_^ Also snagged the Star Trek novel Intellivore, a Dr. Who novel about Daleks (the kewlest Who villains IMO), and the soundtracks to Riven and The Nightmare Before Christmas. The Borders book and music store is some kind of collective demigod. ^_^
Steve> I tried to respond to your e-mails, and got some kind of error message, so I'll respond in here: Send them to my Yahoo account, and thanks again! :D <<And I thought it was 20 years, 10 years to hatch?>> Hm...perhaps I was thinking of biological years instead of chronological; sometimes I get the two mixed up.
Robby> <<does this guy also have influence over the love bug?>> I doubt it...his main stock in trade is pathogens--viri, bacteria, etc.; love is more of a psychological disorder, which is a little out of his league. :P j/k <<And considering the size of gargoyle eggs, she probably suffered a very painful pregnancy>> Hm...sometimes I'm not so sure; I like to think that garg eggs are fairly small when first laid, about the size of human newborns, and they gradually grow to full size during the twenty years that they incubate. <<a topic I am not in the least comforatble with>> I'm like that about reproductive matters myself, although this particular discussion has thankfully remained rather discreet. (I'm one of those who fantasizes about impaling Dr. Ruth. And not in some Freudian symbolic way, I mean like Vlad Tepes. He may have been a tad draconian, but you have to admit, he had style.) <<And yes, priorities have a funny way of working some times>> You don't know the half of it, friend. The divas are already outlining my second and third seasons when they haven't even really worked out the details of the first. I wish I could fire them and hire Coyote's; at a story per week, my entire blasted series would have been finished by now.
I've encountered this acronym WASP several times now; what does it stand for?
DumlaoX> Hm, customizing? Well...do you have Windows 98? There are all kinds of Themes that you can select, under the Control Panel's Desktop Themes icon. (You probably knew that, though...) And, also in Win98, you can right-click on the desktop and click Properties to get a few things. One rather kewl option is to create an HTML file that allows you access to your most commonly used files and websites, and set that as your Active Desktop background. Oh, and if you'd like a customizable machine, go to Gateway. That's where I got my PII-450 with 128 MB of RAM, a 12 GB hard drive (of which I've used 6 GB since December! O_o), and other neat stuff. :)
SOROW> Oh no; on top of everything else, you can't go to the Gathering?! Dang it! <looks around, knowing *someone* is responsible for this...DC?> I can *never* go; I doubt the thing will ever come close enough to where I live. New York and Dallas are both too far to drive to, and I am NOT getting on an airliner; those things seem to be held together with chewing gum and string. Ask me about the harikari scandal sometime.
Aris> <<I am a little worried about the difference in sizes between the main comment room and the TGS room>> Maybe it's because more goes on here than there. I mean, we have new eps to look forward to each week (in writing if not on TV); they haven't had any in years.
RPGs> Eh...the only ones I bother with are video games; I *can't* *stand* card games.
**NEW TD EP SPOILERS!**
Hm, this one looks more interesting than the last few. Sacred Paths and Brothers In Arms (?) were simply not to my taste...<<Years ago she'd made a frog puppet for a small, frightened boy>> Eheheheh...this is hilarious if you know just exactly who the boy was. :) Hm, the pic doesn't work. Brooklyn seems more well-versed in medical matters than one would think, judging by his remark about 'phantom pregnancies'. (I hope no one gets too confused about the meaning of that term...) Well, this was a great ep; certainly more interesting IMO than the last few.

Brooklyn when the twins hatch- I already know from outlines how THAT particular scene is gonna go, and believe me, its not gonna be fun for Sata OR Brooklyn...
Argent- It is indeed Queen who sings "Another One Bites the Dust". The same melody belongs to Weird Al's gross song, "Another one rides the bus."..
Kitainia- Those are the five main reasons for your and Doug's happiness? Seem like pretty dang good things to me... I think and hope its the same with me and Heather...
TGS chat room- Hmm, today the problem existed that no one went in there at the same time... And considering the schedual of the posters, it may be quite rare that it works... Perhaps we should schedual a big group get together?
Oh gee, the new TD ep is up, everything I just said is gonna be ignored... Ah well...

Hey all,
Ahh, back to good 'ol blue.
Robby > Thanx for the clarification w/ Sata and the eggs.
Aris > I agree with most people here, the TGS CR seems a lot friendlier than the S8 one (that I've been lurking on for a while). Now the question is why? Hmm, that might be a topic for the paper I have to write.
JEB > I've dabbled in AD&D (very briefly), didn't like it too much. I GMmed for a few years with the Star Wars RPG; love that system. So damn simple. Converted it a couple times, once for ExoSquad, once for Gargs, and currently for a Navy SEALs game I wanted to run online. I own a dump truck load of sourceboks for SW RPG, some for Battletech/MechWarrior, and some for RoboTech. And Robby, I agree, being a GM/DM necessitates coming up with a lot of damn good ideas - hell, I had about five campaings worked out for my SW RPG group, and we only got through two.
Maybe more later, but I'll definitely be getting at least one more post in before I leave for break tomorrow.
Later all

GAME PLAYING - Personally, I never played games like D&D, but I am a notorious techie (I like to build things with the game character/vehicle generation tables), especially with games like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness, Battletech, Mekton Zeta (still trying to make it work), and I'm recently trying to work out GURPS... one of the reasons I am glad Christine is running a Gargoyles GURPS game at G99...
TWINS - Considering that females, for nesessity, only have enough space in their pelvis for one egg, it goes without saying I wouldn't want to be Brooklyn when the eggs are delivered!

Happy St. Patrick's Day to You All.
Demona + Andrea: I have to go with Blue on this one.
Sata: Twins … ouch is all I can say. I wouldn't want to be in Brooklyn's shoes either, however.
JEB: I play too much stuff. Outside of the Collectable Card Games, I've Played Mage: The Ascension, Werewolf: The Apocalypse, AD&D, Legends of the Five Rings, and a few others. I favor the World of Darkness setting personally.
St. Patrick: Born Patricus, to a Roman family. An Italian by ancestry, it seems somehow appropriate that he saved and delivered Eire. I find it quite satisfying that his name is spoken with such high praise and reverence among the Irish. Though some days I wonder about a bunch of people that had to import a patron Saint, I soon remember that they at least picked quality. :) *Ducks the Potatoes and Pies offered in his direction*
Elections: Republicans get a bad rap from the media, hands down. The media paints them many colors and the television drones eat it up. Not to say their aren't some nut Republicans, and almost all the politicians in Washington are corrupt, but Clinton has proven that the DNC have no scruples or standards. Not only that, but they push for Big Brother national government. I'm not even going to get into the Chinese Communist fund raising they do. I prefer the Libertarians to either stinking party. Since I can't elect a Libertarian realistically I'll pull for the Republicans in the "Bungee Jump of Doom." I base this on the basic premise that if they actually keep a fraction of their platform without Slick Willie and Co. screwing them over, they might actually reduce the size of this usurping monster we call a government. All in all, it isn't about the lesser of two evils, but the most self-destructive.

**WARNING, LONG RP AHEAD**
The screen comes on with the Ravens going one on one with Guod and his Borg. As everyone watches, they begin shooting at each other and dodging one another's blows. The Ravens take a lot of minor wounds, but deal back heavy damage. Boris blows away Borg-Alice with his bazooka, Stephanie takes out one of Borg-Todd's gang members with her borrowed shotgun, Doug gets another with his own weapon, blasting the Borg-punk to smithereens with a plasma-charged shell. Meanwhile Jaden confronts Mr. Borg Dreissen, brandishing his axe with a brutal gleam in his werewolf eyes. "Don't kill me!!" the Borgified hippie begs, at the same time using his Phalanx flow ability to dodge Jaden's swings. Jaden growls at him and swings his axe at Borg Driessen's face, splitting it neatly in two. Unfortunately he and the other downed Borg begin flowing back together, their upgrades giving them T-1000-like healing powers. Kitainia sees what's happening and quickly pulls out Steamer, exchanging the tank of water for one from her backpack that's filled with kerosene. She sprays the Borg with it, doing no damage but setting things up for Shauna, who loads a bunch of flaming arrows and shoots the four healing Borg with two each. The now-very-flammable Borg are soon consumed by the flames, this time dead for good. The others stay back, wary of Kitainia and Shauna's preparations for another tandem attack. Nearby, hidden in shadows, a silent figure (Hades) applauds the battle. "You have powerful friends, Jaden," he thinks. "This is interesting." Guod and the Borg keep circling and firing at the Ravens, who continue to dodge their shots. Kitainia continues spraying as many of them as she can while she avoids their shots and makes a CR post.
**PAUSE RP TILL END**
Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone!! :) For those of you who don't know about the day, it's the reason I'm posting in green tonight. The custom is either wear green or everyone you meet has the right to pinch you. Doug and I of course did the former today. <grin>
President in 2000: Don't know who I'm gonna vote for. I like Liz Dole, but I hate Republican politicians with a passion for many reasons that are too lengthy to explain here. Maybe she's not like the majority of GOP jerks currently in office, I don't know. As for George W, I also don't like some of his policies, particularly his support of the so-called "Restoration of Religious Freedom" act. But he does seem the best candidate the GOP does have to offer that I know of. So it looks like the race will probably be him and Gore. I'm not sure if I want to vote for Gore, either. I like some of his ideas, others I don't. Looks like year 2000 elections may be another "bungee jump of doom."
To anyone who's wondering what I'm talking about: A few years back, we had a comic called Bloom County in the paper. My favorite one had Opus the Penguin spoofing the '92 election. He was making the "bungee jump of doom" just like all voters. He jumps one way, he lands on a Bush and gets pecked by Quayles, another way he lands in jail and never gets Peroted, the third he gets Slicked and Gored. No candidate is the clear best choice. I think the cartoonist decipted that election well, don't you? <chuckle, grin>
Lawrence: Sounds like you're handling that jerk well. Kudos to you. Hope he doesn't become even more annoying as a result of your ignorance. That unfortunately tends to happen with a lot of his fellow fundamentalist extreme creeps here at UT.
Lady Melisander: Welcome to the CR. Glad to know you're enjoying it here so far. :)
Robby: Thanks for the info on garg fertilization processes. Man, Sata having Graeme and Ari must have been one difficult birth. At least it was worth it, right?
Argent: I think it's Queen who sings "Another One Bites the Dust," not the Eagles. Still a good song, though. Hope you soon get over your illness, friend.
Todd: I want to know more about Whistler, too. Wonder if he'll ever make another appearance. <fingers crossed>
Green Baron: $ Asil was cloned after my change, so she's also a mutant half-garg. Sevarius Jr. created her last August (I think it was then) in response to a crush he had on me (note- this was a joke I played on SJ, he would never have been involved in Asil's creation if it wasn't for me, if necessary I apologize. :) The experiment did make a clone of me, but for some reason she came out of the tank a total psycho, no one knows why. SJ's assistant Ed Igor told me about her, and I ordered SJ to dispose of the clone. She escaped his lab before he could and proceeded to the UT Campus, where she did some things that really hurt my reputation among the students, particularly the local frats. I won't go into detail on what she did, trust me, you're better off not knowing. Anyway, Doug and I eventually discovered she was around and went after Asil, fighting her in several battles on and off campus. Finally we thought we destroyed her in a fight on the Town Lake railroad bridge. But she unfortunately survived and is now working with Thailog as his top enforcer. Good luck in your dealings with her, and be careful, man. As for whether she has any more obnoxious WASP ministers in her group, my ex-boyfriend Jerry is with her, and he's become a student at being one. I think we've killed all the others, but if you want to put in more, feel free. $
Christine: Doug and I assumed Andrea was sweet on Demona for the same reasons you did. I think Blue hit their relationship right on the head, though. They're just great friends and Andrea thinks of Demona as a role model, not a possible love interest. I hope people will drop this topic now that they know the answer. I also wonder how Andrea's opinion of Demmy will change after she finds out what her friend's been up to the last few hundred years.
DumlaoX: Thanks for posting that yearbook quote, it's a good one. Mine was "Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path, and leave a trail." That's something I've always hoped I'm doing in this life. :)
SOROW: I'll miss meeting you at the Gathering, sorry you can't go. But of course I do understand your reasons. Know that no matter what we'll always be your friends.
TGS Chat Room: Hope people appreciate this. I'll be staying in here more than there of course (I like this place better), but a chat room is needed for some of us. <grin>
Aris: I agree with Robby and JEB about the main CR not getting as much attention. This place also has more to talk about and a friendlier atmosphere, IMO. Things to talk about and friendly atmosphere are of course in the main room, too, but not as much as they are in here. I still check the main room every day for stuff I'm interested in, but I don't post there unless I see something interesting to talk about. Same deal for here, and here I think one finds a lot more interesting topics. That's why we get longer posts. Don't worry, I'm still in full support of the main CR and will post in there on occasion. I will sometimes take your advice, too. But mostly I'm gonna keep hanging out in this place. :)
Blue: Glad to know you've resolved your bad situation. I was ready to give advice if you needed it. Glad you managed to fix things well without my help. I also agree with you about Andrea and Demona, well said. <applauds>
JEB: Doug and I play AD&D, so do all the Ravens. Of course it's not orthodox AD&D, that would be too boring and unfair to us players (and the GM Keith). We get most of our large supply of house rules from our own imaginations, as well as Knights of the Dinner Table and GURPS. You make materials for AD&D, huh? What materials have you made? I want to know if they're in Doug's and my collection. I had no idea we had a TSR employee in here. :) (PS- If you're not a TSR employee, and/or your items aren't published, can you please tell me a little about them instead? Just curious, want to know. :)
Coyote: Thanks for the compliments. <grin> As for how Doug and I manage to be happier than most married couples you know, I put it down to five things:
1. We're actually in love and well-suited for one another both in personality and mutual appeal. Too many married couples lack one or another of these qualities. :(
2. We're best friends as well as significant others. Too many people dismiss the value of friendship in a relationship, our relationship is enriched by it a lot.
3. We're both always honest with one another, no matter what. I can also discuss anything with Doug and vice versa. Blame our mutual high confidence in ourselves and one another for that.
4. We took the trouble to get to know each other very well. Thus we each know what makes the other happy and in most any given situation can predict how the other will behave. This helps us avoid arguments a whole lot, and thus enriches our relationship.
5. Luck, pure luck. <grin>
Hope you and Ravyn have the same when and if you two eventually end up together. I wish you both continued luck in getting back together. I too sent her parents a message, and hope they will listen. <nods at candle, glad its flame is still strong>
Hmm, Traveler should know we want him to do his RP interrogation and he said he would post a "little later" the last time he was here. I wonder what's taking him so long. :)
Okay, that's all for now. Later!
**BACK TO RP**
Kitainia has by now doused all the enemy Borg in kerosene, and Shauna has used her flaming arrows to blow up the two remaining unnamed members of Todd's gang. Guod growls as she takes aim at him, the other Ravens pulling out cigarette lighters and advancing on the Borg goons. "Retreat!" Guod yells. "We need fireproofing!!" "Yeah," Butt-Borg growls. "And a bath. I'll never get chicks to want me with this stink." The party looks at one another, suprised he's actually learned something for once. Then all the Borg goons flee through portals Guod opens, dodging the Ravens' last few parting shots. "You haven't won yet, Doug!" Guod yells just before he jumps through a portal himself. "The strongest of my collective will crush you into dust!!" Then he's gone, and Doug looks at Kitainia. "Uh, what do you think he was talking about?" Doug asks. Shauna points to a large portal opening nearby. "That?" she asks as the Borgified Godzilla, Mechagodzilla, Gigan, and Megalon step out. "Oh, $&*@!" Doug yells. "Yeah," Kitainia grimaces. "I don't think I have enough kerosene left to destroy four fifty-foot tall Borg-Phalanx monsters." "In that case," Doug suggests, "RUN!!!" The Ravens proceed to do so, the monsters shaking the ground as they pursue. The screen chooses this unfortunate moment to switch itself off.
**TO BE CONTINUED, END RP**

Gay Gargs? There's a new, interesting topic.. and from what I know about Demona, it not all that impossible... she's done everything else.
Hello Sorow! It's great being here! ^_^ Thanks!

Everyone seems to be taking over my colour lately...
After an 8000 word paper on the IRA I don't want to hear the word "ireland" for a loooooooong time ;-)
Coyote: *grinz* I don't need mind altering substances...I'm already out of tune with reality as it is...*LOL* Seriously, Wagner's the one with the former morphine addiction, not me...only reason I picked that is 1) There aren't many other drugs in the average military first aid kit and 2) I spent a week in hospital ripped on Demerol, thanks to a ruptured appendix, so I have an idea of what a good strong dose of the stuff is like...WITHOUT having to go around experimenting with it just to find out :-P
Green Baron: Luther's a female...Wagner's granddaughter, actually...her voice sounds like a combination of my own pastor and Reba MacEntire (and do not ASK me where that came from.) I'm a Lutheran, don't know about how "traditional" though, in that I'm not part of the right-wing Missouri Synod, who tend to be fanatic fundamentalists, and thereby rather frighten us Eastern Synod types...

I'm sure there's some deeping meaning in my not being able to go from God. I just haven't figured it out yet. It's probably so that I'll be a better officer, if I even make that.

**Coyote walks into the room, noticing Dis Connect lighting a cigarette over Ravyn's candle. This prompts a scream from Coyote, followed by the loud reverberation of a leftover Desert Eagle Coyote happens to have with him from the RP. When the smoke clears, Dis is minus his head ... but his cigarette is lit.**
There, that's better. That's for making my computer go ape s*** last night while composing e-mail!! **turns to the candle, extinguishes it, replaces it with a new green candle, and lights it once more.** There. See? I can brood *and* be festive at once.
(no, I am not drunk. Yet. But I am nursing a very healthy-sized rum and Coke right now. ;)
Courageous/stupid thing: I know not the outcome yet, but I may as well spill what I did. I was the first one to send a message to Ravyn's parents. I just hope they choose to get to know me better before immediately branding me a perv.
**SPOILERS FOR "LONGEST DAY 2" AND "BROTHERS IN ARMS!!"**
Longest Day 2: A very nice ending to what looked like a near-tragic story. :)
As for Demona's possible sexual orientation ... I didn't see it, really. I suppose it could be possible, but then again it's also possible that she and Andrea may just have gotten to be *really* close friends in the weeks that have passed since "Lethe."
"Brothers in Arms": A very touching story, really. It's nice to see Brooklyn start being homesick for the Clan ... he's very lucky that he has Sata to help him through his dances.

1) You guys seem to be happier than most *married* couples I know ... how d'ya do that? :)
2) The stuff you tell us about your RL's ... recent example your Bra Dance ... makes me pine for college life. Gawd, I miss it!! :)
Mary Flanders: I would've tried more veggie burgers in college ... unfortunately, the food service version of a veggie burger is a Spicy Black Bean burger. Set my mouth on fire every time I tried to eat one. :P

Aladdin Villains> I liked Miraj and Mozenrath pretty well. :) Mechanicles I actually found fun, too. :) Aziz was neat, but kind of one-note and underused. Jafar had potential, but wasn't utilized well in his second appearance. Abis Mal had a few good eps, but most were nyeh. (The time travel one with him was a winner. :) Malcho was interesting (how often do you see feathered serpents in animated series?) but also badly utilized. (When he actually got an interesting goal- kill Iago- then he got a little better.) My definite favorite, though, was Chaos- his ep is the only Aladdin ep I recorded. :)
Bronx Wyvern> I, too, ask- where did you get the stuffed Bronx? Hope your relative gets better.
Welcome back to the returners, and welcome to the newbies! :)
Coyote the Bando> Thank us not- that's what friends do for friends. And good luck with whatever it is you did. :)
**BUFFY SPOILERS**
An interesting ep, this was. Angel was very convincing... but I was sure it was just an act. For example, he only punched Xander- I think Angelus would just snap his neck. And Faith is definitely evil- but I was surprised when she said she was jealous of Buffy, and that she'd always been trying to be a "good girl." I'm wondering if she hasn't snapped.
But, again, where are the repercussions? I believe Wesley said that the Watcher's Council doesn't know Faith was still with them- but wouldn't you expect the Scooby Gang to be just a tad wary of Faith after what she'd done? I think they should have addressed this in far more detail.
**BUFFY SPOILERS END**
Homosexual Gargoyles> It's possible. But, considering the low population of the species, highly unlikely. Bisexual gargoyles are another matter... but let's not get into that.
Sevarius Jr.> Jerry Pearson works for the New York Sentinel. See his TGE entry for more info. :)
Lexy> Wishbone is a good series. :) Anything that can make literary classics fun is always good, and they have a nice wit too. :)
Doug> Congratulations on the paper completion. :)
SOROW> Sorry to hear you won't be at G99. :(
DumlaoX> Like the chat. :) Just hope we get some people in there.
Why is the TGS Comment Room more popular than the Gargoyles Comment Room? I think Robby summed that up pretty well. Also, overall, I think the original comment room just seems less friendly than the TGS one does, less welcoming to newcomers. Of course, that's just my opinion.
Quick question- I know Doug, Christine, and Robby do, but does anyone else here play role-playing games? If so, what games? No reason, just curious. :) I myself used to play AD&D and Rifts, and still make materials for the former.
Hm.... that is all.

****BUFFY EPS*****
All I can say is that Angel is one cool actor. I was really freaked out by the fact the mayor is an untouchable *shudders* but he hates germs! what's up with that?? Boy I wish Buffy would be happy with Angel at least one, I mean after all he was only doing what he asked, she really doens't need space. Maybe Buffy just doesn't know what she wants anymore.

Garg Homosextuality- (yeah I just know I got the spelling wrong sorry.) I got no problem with it. In our lifestyle humans have a choice in what sex they prefer, why shouldn't they?

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
******* long explanation about my situation (sorry)*******
A big "Thank you" to everyone who gave me advice. Well, the situation now is that I will probably withdraw from school completely this semester, then re-enter in the summer or fall. I'm a bundle of nerves right now and I feel like I can't take the pressure anymore... I'm literally losing sleep over this horrendous situation I got myself into and I'm starting to resemble a zombie. I know that withdrawing completely looks terrible, but the other options are worse. It's either all or nothing. I can drop only one class because we are allowed two drops total as freshmen and sophomores, and I used one of my drops last semester on calculus (that was probably the first sign I shouldn't have majored in microbiology). Dropping one class and then still doing terribly in the rest looks so bad that it's pointless. I've spent a lot of time evaluating how I'm doing in my classes right now, and it doesn't look good. I'm such a wreck that I can't study anymore. *sigh* And then there's the financial problem. I have a student loan from the government, and I don't know what'll happen to it if I withdraw, even though I will be back in school very soon. Also, I am on a state scholarship that covers all my tuition as an undergraduate, and it requires that 12 hours be completed each academic year. I only have 9 (from last semester). I could try to get the remaining 3 hours in summer school, but I am worried about making the deadlines for registration. Losing the state scholarship isn't too bad since the tuition really isn't that expensive, but the thing about the loan bothers me. *takes a deep breath* Okay, thanks for listening, everyone. I'm going to speak with my advisor tomorrow, so hopefully it'll all be resolved very soon.
******* you can come out of hiding now *******
Demona and Andrea: I don't think Andrea feels that way about Demona. Andrea is kinda young, so I think she sees Dominique almost as a role model, as a successful person to admire. That explains the "adoring looks." :-) Really, in the 90's it seems that people are questioning friendships more and more. Heck, people from my high school are probably wondering if my friend and I are homosexuals because we hung around each other a lot and we happen to be college roommates now. Well, most high school guys are immature and obsessed with dating girls who look like models, so not very many of them were interested in me, and my roomie has a boyfriend she is madly in love with. Okay, okay, enough about that topic, sorry.
Bye now!

**Robby enters wearing green like everyone else and speaking like Ringo Starr or Wacko Warner, your choice.**
Well hello lads! Okay, so the color isn't exactly green, but its my old posting color and it is grass color, so its close enough to green to avoid getting pinched or whatever. And I'm throwing up Broadway because Griff is a definate brown color, whereas Broadway is a definate green...
Argent- Why do I bother explaining this repeatedly? Ah well... Sata had TWO eggs. The twins could not share an egg, for one, that would make them identical, and two, it will kill them both due to lack of space. There were TWO eggs, and probably a painful pregnancy. Eee, thats what, the third time I've said this?
**Robby suddenly pauses, realizing Ringo Starr and Wakko Warner do not have the appropriate accent for the occasion, and goes into Scrooge McDuck mode.**
Ach, faith and begora, its a bloody kilt, and now I've got to save me pennies!
**Shakes head again, and snaps out of it** Um... That was weird...
TGS chat room- Uh... Okay.
Sorow- Hey, plans change. Don't worry about it.
Aris- I think part of the reason the main room doesn't get as much attention is partly because its actually harder to find just by random surfing, (I didn't know about it until I'd been coming to this one for two months) and the fact that the other room tries to stay only gargs related is tough, since there simply isn't any new gargoyle material coming out, except for fanfic, which can't be discussed in the other room BECAUSE of Greg...

So, then should it be green, althought I don't know this day.
DX: Yes!!!
Gargoyles being homosexuel: Thought that shouldn't be a problem, because the whole clan is the family and I think if there were some more gargoyles there could also be something like a three-mating. And if they want to have children they could get used to a short unity with other gargs, but I thought the children belonged in the former days even to he whole clan. And gargoyles are more friendly to one another then humans and humans are allowed to be homosexuel so why gargoyles not?
Welcome to all new or all who are back!
***comment on new ep****
I think it was a dream of Maeve but what makes me wonder is that no fay has actively done something again Demonas spell. But the three sisters seemed to have knew it and so does Titania but I can't imagine they only "hope" Demona wouldn't cast it or Elisa would be there soon enough, though she wasn't. So can somebody explain this?
Other things I would have said were mentioned before.

**** Weird thoughts of a somewhat depressed, somewhat not, Aris ***
I am a little worried about the difference in sizes between the main comment room and the TGS room - TGS being about 4 times as large as the comment room at the end of each week. Though a large part of the difference is due to the RP and to the comments for each ep, I see many people simply hang out here, start discussions here and never even go to the main comment room. And the posts here also tend to be much longer than those in the main comment room.
That imbalance seems to me to bring a couple of problem, which is what's worrying me. 1) It's getting harder to follow the discussion in the TGS room - it being so large every week- it's easier to understand two medium-sized rooms than to understand one trememdously large and oneb small 2) I still want to think that the "main" comment room is the Gargoyles comment room, not the TGS one. After all Greg comes by from time to time in that room, etc, while people who are not interested in TGS go there. So, I know it's illogical, but the smaller interest in the main comment room, worries about the fandom's future.
What I propose. I don't know. I'm just thinking out loud. Perhaps I propose that if a post of yours or a new topic for discussion, etc, can go equally well on either newsgroup and you aren't interested in posting it in both, consider posting it only in the main comment room. If only to bring back the balance between the rooms and make the TGS room a little less overwhelming and easier to read.

Deuce & Wilek> Thanks for the get well wishes. I have a doctor's appointment scheduled on Friday and hopefully it'll go well.
POST FOR ALL! I'm afraid I have some very bad news. I will no longer be able to go to the Gathering anymore. My drill team summer camp in Houston has now been scheduled for June 24-27, the exact days of the convention. If I could quit the team I would, but I've wanted to be on this team for six years and I have it. I guess I should look on the positive side like I always do, but I can't think of anything positive. It's like my whole life was just flushed down the toilet. G99 was probably the only time I would ever get to see you all without it costing a million dollars, but it just flew out the window. Maybe it'll be in Dallas again in a thousand years. I hope I just don't go hitting at God for this. So anyway, I'm sorry to those of you who I'm letting down. Believe me when I say I almost started crying at school. I hope everyone else has a nice time and send me pictures. (runs out sobbing)

QUICK QUESTION-- Very important question to ask all of you. As you know, some people have confused the comment room for a chat room. Those are 2 very different animals. However, there is a solution.
Make a chat room.
While a chat room, if approved by you all, will not run on the TGS server and will not have a link to it in the comment room (still haven't heard a peep from Gorebash), I will place a link in the main site. It will be a web-based chat room with a few customization options (Name, Color, FOnt Style, Refresh Rate, Language filter) and run on an entirely different server.
So, do we want a chat room for TGS?

Hey all,
What the heck, it's St. Patty's day! And what a beeeeeutiful day it is! Last week this time, we were getting dumped on with snow. Now it's like 65 and not a cloud in the sky... I'm leaving for break tomorrow, happy about that... Y'know what? I think I'm gonna blow off the work I've been meaning to do and take in some rays.
DumlaoX > There are desktop themes that customize your wallpaper, screensaver, icons, and sounds - www.screensandthemes.com - www.windhover.com/themes - klotsnet.com/desktop-themes - are just a few. Run a search for desktop themes on any engine, you'll get a ton ot hits.
I know there are some Gargoyles themes out there (I got one, tried it out, but it's not my style).
Anyway, you can pretty easily customize these things. Make your own custom images and save them into the theme directory, play around with them a little. Hope this helps.

I don't know about Win95, though. The TweakUI utility for Win98 is kinda neat, too: you can change the arrow on the corner of shortcuts to anything you want. Also, try X-Setup (click my name); it sounds pretty good.

COMPUTERS-- Next time I'm going to build my computer. While I had a Packard Bell and it works out great, my Compaq is the computer from hell. Thus, unless I chose a laptop, I am staying away from all name brand machines. Besides, I know what the hell I want and don't want in my machine.
BLUE-- What I was about to say has already been said. Other than that, find a college councelor and talk to him/her. They might be able to pull a few strings for you and find a way for you to stay in college with a relatively lighter workload.
CUSTOMIZE-- OK, need some advice from the more techno-minded in here. I want to customize my computer as far as look is concerned. I already know about the stuff in www.customize.org and in the Control Panel, but what I'm looking for is a way to place custom icons on anything, including the standard desktop ones (My Computer, Recycle Bin, etc.). Also, any other modes of customization you can think of would be killer. Thanx in advance.
THANX-- To all those that submitted material for my big final paper. I assure you that it will definitly be put to good use.
Now, instead of my standard end quote, I'll leave you with this one from my high school yearbook:

Buffy> I've got to hand it to them. They do draw the most colorfully villians I've seen. The Mayor reminds me of an evil Mr. Nelson. Like they took all those 50's TV fathers, rolled them into one and made him evil. I'd rank him up there with Mr. Morder from B5 who was an evil Rod Serling.
The episode was full of surprises.I wanted to throttle Giles. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US THIS WAS ALL PART OF THE PLAN???" I don't think the mayor is a demon, but he's certainly aspiring to be. I'm mean with seeming immortality and invulnerability, what's left?
Jerry Pearson> I believe he works for the Sentinel. Check Fallout 1 and 2 I'm sure he mentioned what paper he's working for.
Speaking of physics got to study for that final. See ya.

Demona and Andrea > odd how this got turned around ... probably just me anyway ... but the hugging, the smiling, the adoring looks ... all just made me think it was Andrea having a more-than-friendly interest in Ms. D. Just my dirty mind at work, I'm sure.
Get well soon, everyone!

Happy St. Patrick's Day. We're all Irish today, even the bloody English are Irish today :)
Coldstone> Actually, leprechaun's only became popular because of a certain Disney film. Thy are actually grumpy little creatures and rather minor beings in the Celtic folklore.
Demona May> I'm glad to see you around. I hope you post more often.
Lady Melisander> Welocme to our crazy CR. I wonder if we're getting invaded by Canada, eh?
SJ> Veggie burgers are okay if served right. There are some days, certain folks can't have meat, so they can make a good substitute. i just have a veggie delight at Subway or maybe a filet o'fish at McDonalds.
Kitainia>$Funny, I thought she was cloned before your change. Is there any more advice you can give me for using your characters. Are there any more obnoxious WASP ministers in her group?$
Blue Careu> Is it to late to withdraw from any classes. Unless you're on major scholarships, you can part-time it this semester and take some summer school classes. For me, I just want to graduate with my Econ/Finance degrees and take a test fro my Broker's liscence. My boss is already talking about me working under him as an Assistant Broker after I graduate.
Starsinger> I agree with you about Demona. It seems there si this drive to make every friendship or partnership sexual, i.e. X-Files, Owen & Xanatos. That's what I like about Fr. Dowling mysteries. There is no such relationship between Fr. Frank and Sr. Steve :)
Deuce> Maybe I should invest in Gateway or Dell, instead of Compaq...hmmm. why not all three :)
Robby> George W would be good. Too bad the regional factor can't let him pick JC Watts for a running mate. I think Engler would be good. Best bet is on a midwestern Catholic Governor or Senator for VP, especially one who isn't perceived to be extremist.

(Does a wild spin in place, reverting to his normal mode of dress and speech) WHEW! That's better! Glad I did that before I started saying, "Always after me Lucky Charms!".
BLUE - I agree with what's been said about your classes. The stress got to me during one of my later semesters when I was going for my Associates in Commercial Art, so I dropped one class so I could ease off. Then, I picked it up later when my class schedule wasn't so hectic.
Anyway, Happy St. Patrick's to everyone! I'll be back later after watching "The Quiet Man" (with John Wayne) this morning.

Though the ones last night weren't very good because my mom bought the ones that come by 8 or 12 that have no real taste in them instead of the ones that come in 4 and have little peices of tomato and cheese and grains in them. Hmmmmmmm..... Plus I'm trying to cut back on my meat intake. My family has a history of heart problems due to diet and emotional health. The only meat I'll eat is chicken and seafood! Yummy! And btw I don't like turkey. Too dry.

*BUFFY SPOILERS BELOW *
One thing I've got to admit; Angel really is a good actor. I was entirely convinced that he's become Angelus once again, and it was a big surprise to discover that he hadn't and that the mysterious hooded wizard that the Mayor had hired was really a friend of Giles who was merely acting himself.
As for the Mayor being a demon - it's not impossible. Demons in the "Buffy" universe can be quite varied. Just think of Whistler from the second season's finale; he's something even more unexpected, a good demon (now there's a contradiction in terms) who helps Angel become able to do something useful with his un-life by becoming Buffy's ally and protector. I'd like to know more about this guy, incidentally. And I am certainly looking forward to knowing more about the Mayor and his Ascension (which, from the evidence, will have dire consequences for all of Sunnydale if it takes place).

Yup, I'm sick too. It's at that wonderful stage where you're sick enough to be miserable, but not enough to stay home.
WILEK> Wouldn't it be possible for Sata to have one egg with two babies in it? Or would that make identical ones?
Demona's human relationships> I doubt she's interested in *that* kind. Note her reaction to the idea of human MALES looking at her.

Blue>> Why don't you just drop a couple of classes. Then you can concentrate on the remaining ones, bring your stress levels down, and not have to totally feel you've failed at your first semester in classes. A lot of people I know take light loads and a year longer to graduate. Dropping out due to health is NOT failure. It's a fact of life we all get stressed out. Some of us handle it better than others. The hard thing is admitting you are stressed and finding a middle solution between feeling obligated to finish no matter how poorlly and stepping back with a reduced load and succeeding with what you can handle.
*** Notes and ramblings on the Longest Day Part II ***
Blood sacrifice>> In most literature there are two types of blood sacrifice. A dark mage uses either his followers or some innocent to raise power. The sacrifice is usually involuntary and while the power is raised, it's tained. A white mage will usually use his own blood or a willing group. That's what Demona did. Demona, Angela, and Elisa were all willing to sacrific the blood needed for the bloodstone to do it's magic. Reenforced by the power of three. By the way did anyone note the Weird sisters behind the scene's manipulation of Demona? It's funny how Demona did everything right by not doing her usual. How did one person in the room guess?? Show down at high noon with spells. I liked how Demona had no idea she succeeded in saving New York by building up the spell and not releasing it.
Why is it two women can't have a real friendship without someone thinking they are gay?? Demona has had several male human friends such as Michael, but I'll bet Andrea is her first female friend.

This post is about the two brats in the picture beside this post, and how they probably came into being.
**WARNING- POST ON GARGOYLE MATINGS, CYCLES, PREGNANCY, AND TWINS. This should be of interest to writers, and few others.**
Gargoyle egg gestation is six months to a year in the mother, its never been specified by Greg or made official. Most fic writers go with nine months, due to the human qualities appointed with that.
Then, after the egg is laid, it takes ten years to hatch, after which point the gargoyle ages at half the rate of a human.
Also worth noting, a female gargoyle's cycle only comes around once every twenty years. Some fic writers have speculated that the females themselves control when this happens after the twenty year period has passes, and the fact that Greg says Sata and Angela wind up on the same cycle seems to enforce this. In theory, once twenty years have passed, they just have a kid whenever they want. The other theories involve them having about a week to a month during their rising to get pregnant, (The fun part being this is done in the air...) and others still indicate that if they don't have a kid then, their opportunity is gone forever. Personally, I don't believe the last idea to be valid, because thats just asking for extinction. (Of course, when talking human/gargoyle hybrids like Spike's Avery character, thats a whole nother ball game...) Whatever you choose to go with is mostly up to you, the writer.
Due to the fact that they only have one chance every twenty years, opposed to a human's very good chance about once a month, normal method of twins, (Two eggs fertilizing at the same time) seems like a high improbability. And yet at the same time having an embryo split while in an egg to form twins would probably kill them both, due to lack of space. So it stands to reason, that by some fluke, possibly attributed to timedancing, on one nice night when the stars were shining and the nightbirds were singing, Sata got stuck with two eggs at the same time. And considering the size of gargoyle eggs, she probably suffered a very painful pregnancy.
And now that I've discussed in full a topic I am not in the least comforatble with, its back to Timedancer Proofreading...

**RP HERE**
Nipon's fleet is continuing to head for NORAD. They pass over Tennessee, over Kansas, and then into Colorado. Eventually, a young officer comes to the bridge and says, "Admiral, we are now in orbit over Colorado Springs." "Good," Nipon smiles. "So when do we attack?" "Soon," says Zale. "Remember, we have to wait for T'angelo's forces to get in place first. That shouldn't take too long." Nipon nods and crosses his arms, glancing at Dahak. "I hope not. For now, the ships shall remain cloaked and in orbit fifty thousand feet above Colorado Springs. Carry on." The officer nods and runs back down to the floor of the Super Star Destroyer's bridge.
The screen changes to the Marsh Building's lobby, where Kilmer has just finished recovering from his apparent death and is now grinning at the Ravens. "You can't kill me, fools!" he shouts. "I've been alive for over two thousand years!!" "I got this jerk, guys," Stephanie says, stepping forward and raising her sword. "He may be a powerful evil immortal, but I've fought those before." "Ah," Kilmer chuckles, drawing his own sword. "A fellow Quickling, and a strong one for one so fiesty and young. I shall enjoy taking your head, and with it all your power." "Don't count on it," Stephanie growls as they begin their fight. Doug and the others back off, willing to let the two Highlander-style immortals handle one another. The now-recovered Three Stooges dash past them, running out of the building and off to God-only-knows-where. Doug watches them leave and then as Stephanie and Kilmer continue their swordfight, he turns to make a CR post.
**PAUSE RP**
Hi everyone. Lots of good news today. First of all, I've finished the biggest of the three papers I had to do over Spring Break. Boy, does it feel good to have it over with. Especially since it was a seven-page report on Fowler's A Passage to India. Talk about a well-written but REALLY boring book. Two papers to go, one a little 200 word synopsis of what I did on spring break in Spanish (that's easy, I'll do it Sunday), and the other a research paper for my Rhetoric on the American City course on the local college drag. I'll do the research for it tomorrow, the paper later. Right now, I'm still on a high over getting done with the first report.
Two, the GFW archive's problems are now fixed, thanks go out to Chris for taking care of them. My two fics that were lost, "Clash of the New Olympians" and "Vengeance" are now both posted again, and whoever wants to should go read them and (hopefully) enjoy. Tomorrow I'll get back to work on "Slayer Senshi." After that, I'll be doing "The Hostage," a fic that deals with Macbeth's character as well as reveals more of Nikki and Jadriel's past. Changed my schedule. :) Oh well, I'll just have to do "Dungeon Fortress" later. This fic fits better in the universe chronology, at least in my mind.
Three, I just sent a very emotional (but honest and respectful) letter to Ravyn's parents, asking them to let her back into the CR. Hopefully a lot of you have done the same, and good results of it. Let's keep the candle burning, and our fingers crossed, and continue to pray for Ravyn's joyful comeback. When she does come back, I think one of Jim Noying's big parties is in order, don't you? :)
Welcome to all newcomers to the CR, and to those who have returned. Good to see all of you here, hope you enjoy the experience.
Kaioto: Hmm, sounds like you and my pal Shap are of like mind about Christianity. Needless to say, I absolutely agree with your words on the subject. Closed hearts and minds have no place in Christianity, nor IMHO should they in the world.
Coyote: I'm confident that your script will have both great action and character development, I know your writing has plenty of both. Look forward to reading the script, hope that you get it done soon.
Blue: First off, lighten up. It's not the end of the world if you do bad in one semester. Or if you have to change your major. For many of us college students, you included, it is a very good idea. Second, it's obvious you have a lot of stress you need to let out. Go play a videogame, work out at the local gym, read a book, do whatever it is you do to vent off the stress until you feel better. Then take charge of your life, think about the situation, and make the best choice available. I know you can do it, you have our confidence. That's the best advice I can give you, good luck.
To all sick people: Get well soon. I know from experience just how bad getting sick can be. Hope you all soon overcome your illnesses.
Tonight's Buffy: Good episode. Kitainia and SJ have already said all the comments I wanted to make on it. I liked the character development in this episode on both the heroes and villains, the action, and especially the plot. Whedon and the Buffy staff did a very cool job on this one, hope they keep up the good work. As for the Mayor, well, I think, he's a demon. Who says they can't be cheerful, after all? Oh well, demon or not, he is still a great villain to have on the show. :)
Sata's eggs: The gestation period for a gargoyle egg is nine months in the mother and then ten years in the egg, right? Just asking because I'm going to have Angela and Broadway concieve a child in my fic saga soon (don't worry, it will be after their wedding) and thus need to know. Thanks in advance to whoever answers. :)
Okay, I guess that's all for tonight. I'm tired, need some sleep. I'll take to all of you again tomorrow. Later.
**RP AGAIN**
"Doug, guys, get out of the building!!" Stephanie suddenly screams. The others nod, then turn and dash out onto the street just as Stephanie disarms Kilmer with a sweeping blow, then thrusts down and slices his head off. The air soon erupts in a Quickening, one so big that it destroys the Marsh Corporate Headquarters in a roar of flashing lightning bolts and flames. Doug and Kitainia look at each other as the entire skyscraper implodes into a humongous pile of dust, then collapses. Stephanie pushes aside a girder and climbs out, brushing dirt off her hands. "He's dead," she tells them, indicating the ruins covering Kilmer. "And I feel so much stronger." "Good," a calm chuckling voice interjects. "You Ravens will need all the strength you have to face me." "Guod!!" Doug shouts, turning around and seeing that his evil clone is now facing them. "That's right," Guod says. "Glad you recognize me." "He brought his friends," Peter Borgy giggles, he and the rest of Guod's Borg collective stepping out of hiding and surrounding the group. "That fool Kilmer insisted we let him have a go at beating you before we even tried," Guod smiles. "Yeah," says Borgis. "What a f$#tknocker!!" He and Butt-Borg exchange their charecteristic laugh. "Guod," Doug tells them, "just let us go. You know we can easily beat you and your goons. We've done it before, you know." "I know," Guod laughs at him. "But now we are upgraded, we are Borg-Phalanx. And we shall destroy you, as Lord Thailog has commanded us to. Prepare yourselves, Doug and his fellow losers, for soon you will die." The Ravens draw their weapons and prepare for yet another round in the battle, then as the screen goes blank, Guod gestures, and his Borg leap to the attack. To be continued.
**FOR NOW, END RP**

Wilek- Sata laying two eggs is a very special case. Twins are extremley rare among gargoyles. I imagine it may have had something to do with timedancing and wierd stone sleep scheduals screwing up her gargoyle cycle. And it actually is two eggs as near as I can tell from the outlines... (I'm not giving out trade secret information that its gonna be twins or anything...) And its once every twenty years an egg gets laid.

Hey all,
Supposed to be studying for an Astronomy prelim tomorrow morning, writing a paper and revising two more... you know what that means. CR post!
Mandi > <Oh, be quiet. :)> I will. Next week, when I'm in your position on the 'ol 486. :)
Bronx > That episode was new! Unless your Fox was showing something other than the body-switching ep, of course.
Blue Caeru > Hey, do we have to tell you what we told Coyote? Tell us anything you want here, we'll always be supportive! I know what it's like to get way behind in work (I'm playing the catch-up game right now). But that's no reason to assume that you're going to destroy your GPA in your freshman year. Look: you've got three more years of undergraduate work to go, that's six more semesters to undo whatever damage might have been done. I don't see how it's possible to wreck yourself practically before you've started. And if you don't like your major, switch! By all means, pick something else! The majority of college students change their major at least once; I know a girl that switched her second semester ever. I wish you the best of luck, in whatever you decide.
(And remember: Psychology is Biology, Biology is Chemistry, Chemistry is Physics, Physics is Math, and Math is just psycho to major in :)

Celano > If somebody taped over my Gargoyles eps with *anything,* the family would have to hire pallbearers - there wouldn't be enough of them left.
SOROW > Ooooooooh, that sounds like it could be baaaaad. I sincerely hope it's not what you say it *could* be - the girl next door to me has chronic kidney problems, and spent the better part of a week last semester completely unable to walk, stand, sit up, or even move. I'm praying for you!
Lady Melisander > Welcome!
More on Compaq > The girls next door to me had trouble with their Compaq on the first day of move-in... right out of the box. Seemed somebody at the factory had *disabled* the CD-ROM!
NEC all the way, baby!
Wilek > Hmm. Never noticed that "Chat:" until you pointed it out to Ordell. Also, I sentcha 2 e-mails (I got your ROM, and a translation patch. Just need to know where ta send 'em.).
<Anyone ever wonder how Sata was able to lay two eggs at the same time, when a female gargoyle can usually lay only one every ten years?> I have. Easy. She didn't. She only laid (sp?) one. The way I figured it was (while working on fraternal twins for a different set of parents for my fanfic) - delving into biology here - both fertilized eggs/embryos joined and were encased in a single (albeit larger) egg, which was split down the middle. One egg, two hatchlings. (And I thought it was 20 years, 10 years to hatch?)
SJ > According to "Fallout Part 2" Jerry writes for the New York Sentinel.
All right, MUST get back to studying. I'm gonna be up all night, I just know it. 'Night all.

Attention RP'ers: I'm probably goint out of town for the next few days. Little Spring Break excursion, but I'll return by the beginning of next week (when, *sigh*, school starts back up). I mean, I've been a little lazy with my end the last few days, but this is just to let you know I won't be here for the rest of the week.
Question: I'm doing a little research for a story, and I've got a question: Exactly what newspaper/program does Jerry Pearson work for? I can't seem to remember.
******BUFFY SPOILERS*******
Pretty good episode tonight. I really thought Angel had once again reverted to Angelus. And I got to give some support to Josh Whedon and the writers for this season--they've _really_ made me hate Faith! I mean, I know Buffy won't just kill her...but I'm leaning towards wanting her to die anyway.
Interesting bit about the mayor, too, how he's been alive for decades and built Sunnydale specifically over the Hellmouth so that he could gain power over the demons and eventually "ascend". I wonder what he is? He sure ain't human, but he's too.....cheeful, to be a demon.
*****END BUFFY SPOILERS******
Gargoyle Homosexuality: Hmm, a risky subject. Well, I don't think it'd be that common, mainly cause there aren't that many Gargoyles left and the ones who remain would be too concerned with propagating the species. But I'm sure that it probably has existed in one time or another. But I'm SURE that Demona probably....experimented. She's one freaky chica, that much is for sure.
Mary: Veggie burgers? Ugh. How can it be a burger without some charred mammal flesh? I didn't crawl my way to the top of the food chain to eat like a rabbit.
Blue Careau: Well, we're in similar positions. I'm taking 5 courses this semester, and I'll probably pass....oh 4 if I'm lucky. Damn whoever created Accounting. Just remember--and this is a hard thing to remember, believe me, I used to lay awake at night having near-panic attacks--if you were to drop out of college for a semester, while things may be bad, it's not the end of the world. I know it may seem like it, but you're smart. You're not a failure or a loser. You'll just "get back on the horse" and do better next time. I know you will. This time last year, I was fearing the same thing; thought I was gonna pass at most one class. But today, just 2 semesters later, I have a 3.5 GPA (and hopefully, it'll stay in that range, if I slay the beast that is Accounting).
Celano: Hey, you can hate wrestling all you want, I don't care. Fine by me. But NEVER lay hands on me, okay? Part of the CR rules, no touching unless I want it. Learn to take a smartass joke.

[Wilek: "Rho, how many ships do you think we'll need?" Rho: "I'm not sure...maybe since Thailog's fleet will be otherwise occupied, and we have his Metal Gears, we can return the station to the Dark Star's old orbit around Earth and conduct things from there." Wilek: "You mean...we'll finally be returning home? Hm...it has its risks...but it may be worth it. Do it. And...Administrator? Change the station's regstry to match the Dark Star's. I want to play with Thailog's mind a bit..."]

Robby> <<because their names are similar>> Ah, I see now. Hm, why didn't I realize that...
Ugh, all these Compaq stories make me very glad I have a Gateway. :)
Kaioto> <<I find magic is a pseudo-natural force>> You know, that fits in well with my own opinions of magic, at least in the Gargs universe. The way I see it, magic is little more than sophisticated energy manipulation; and technology is capable of much of what magic is. Who knows; someday the two may become indivisible...
Coyote> Hmm...interesting...And good luck with whatever it is you did. I hope it doesn't end up killing anyone (who doesn't deserve it >:D ).
Stephen> A teaser for an ep called 'The Waiting Game' that's two weeks away?! Sorry, but I have to kill you now. Nothing personal, but rules are rules. :P
Celano> Eek, you sound horribly ill! Here. <hands her a bowl of the Dark Mage's healing spell enhanced chicken soup> Careful, his magic is a little...odd.
Blue Caeru> Oh man...I'm not sure what to tell you, really...perhaps you should change your major to something that you really enjoy, whatever that may be...sorry, I'm really awful at this...
Fleur> You're sick too?! Ack! <hands her more chicken soup> <<You know, we should introduce a new immortal character to the CR - some sort of sickness bug we can seriously hurt every time something 1 billionth our size beats the proverbial c^@p out of us.>> Allow me to introduce...<a thin, pale-green-skinned humanoid wearing a bandolier which holds several plague mist grenades lumbers into the CR>...um...this guy. He's a Plague Spreader from Heretic 2 who was cursed with immortality and exiled to our world for failing at some task; now he roams the earth making ppl sick. I don't know his name, but he was hired by Mr. Disconnect to exact revenge upon us for killing him so much. He dies and respawns just as easily as Mr. DC, so enjoy. (Can you believe I made all that up as I was sitting here typing? And it takes me months to write a fic. My creativity divas have *seriously* mixed-up priorities.)
Deuce> <<we need some contrast in here>> Without sanity, there is no insanity...And...somehow I get the feeling Demona's straighter than that. I mean, not only could TGS not get away with that, but I myself would be rather put off if it tried such a thing. <<If you ever looked down into hell, you'd see a Compaq on Satan's desk.>> He may be vile and wicked, but I doubt he's that stupid. He probably uses a decent computer, and only designed the Compaq to make ppl think he couldn't possibly be that smart. Nothing worse than a clever enemy...
Any sick ppl I missed> Eek! <more chicken soup>
Demona May> Welcome back! :D
SOROW> YOU TOO?! Oh man...Get well soon!
Ordell> Maybe the reason ppl get so confused is that it says, explicitly, 'Chat:' over the submission form. Maybe it should be changed to 'Comment:'.
Lady Melisander> Welcome! And, being a friend of Deuce, I presume he's pre-confiscated your sanity. :)
Mary> Hm...ack, I'm glad I was an only hatchling. Speaking of which...
Anyone ever wonder how Sata was able to lay two eggs at the same time, when a female gargoyle can usually lay only one every ten years? O_o

<----personally, I'd like to have Demona for a mother because she would never stand to have my sister for a daughter. >:) then she's rip her head off! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE.....
OK, I have something I need to get off my chest. MY SISTER IS A BITCH!!!!! Ahhh...I feel MUCH better. I'm working on my homework and I tell my sister how to make veggie burgers because the moron doesn't know how to (3 minutes on each side. How hard is it to read the directions?). Then I come down stares and find that she couldn't have the courtesy to throw an extra one on the pan for me like I always have for her. I ask her why she didn't and you know what she said? "Why should I? You never made any for me." Stupid bitch. Plus she makes fun of all my interests and thinks I'd be interested in only stupid things. At least I haven't told her about Gargs. Or I would never hear the end of it from her. Personally I think my mother should have drowned her at birth. BTW, she's my older sister. Almost 18 and still hasn't gotten excepted to a university for dance because SHE'S A BAD DANCER!!! *breaths deeply and exhales* Now I feel MUCH MUCH better! >:)

Hi everyone(weakly). It seems my life just got a little unhappy, which as you all know is a rarity in my life. It's apparent that I have some sort of unknown stomach inflammation(possibly kidney infection or ovarian syst) and I may have to go to the doctor :( Im writing about this cause I'm scared! I've never gone to the doctor with a major problem like this before. And it's such a ripping pain that it hurts to do anything physical. So those of you who have a strong connection to God, please pray for me that nothing serious is wrong. My life's going too good to let something like this happen. Thanks!
****TGS SPOILERS****
I actually expected Maeve to succeed in the quake because of what was said in "Requiem." I thought everything Brooklyn saw in the future was set and he couldn't change what would happen. It says ,"Central Park was much larger than it used to be...most of the interior of New York was parklike now, a result of the Great Quake." Because of this, I thought that the quake had to happen. But maybe I'm wrong, or it might happen in years to come. Besides the flashbacks being more than tedious, it was an excellent ep. I especially liked how Demona noticed that Brooklyn and his family weren't afraid of her.
****END TGS SPOILERS****
Almost done with "A Tale of Two Cities" and now I have to regain my strength and get some sleep. I hope everyone is having a nice spring break :) OKIloveyoubyebye!

SPOILERS FOR THE LANGEST DAY PART 2
Glad that the end of The Longest Day part 1 was a thought of Maeve's. I liked the scene when Demona was doing that spell and when she was seeing some of her memiores. It was funny that Maeve's plans were not to be and she got all upset.

Coldstone- You ARE cruel...
Bronx- TGS stands for "The Gargoyles Saga" which is what this entire site is about. COntinuing the stories from where the second season left off, and ignoring the Golitah Chronicle, (Excpet for The Journey"...)
Also, Top Ten is just something the first ten posters declare after the room clears. Its a friendly bit of competition we have, and sometimes its a real race when the room clears on time.
Ed- No problem. Overlooking stuff happens all the time in here. As far as the Chaos episode, that was indeed a Miraj bit. The whole point was for Chaos to mix up Miraj's life and make her do the good thing for once! But I gotta disagree, Jafar was complete psycho which made him fun. And Miraj, while a couple of her eps were boring, I always liked because one, she was a cat, (Same reason Sekmhet is one of my favorite Unseelie...) But some of her episodes were really good, particularly in the episode "The Lost Ones", (I think that was the title) which was the best episode of the series...
Celano- You have every right to be mad.
Blue Caeru- I'm sorry, I don't have any advice for this sort of thing, but you do have my sympathies and hopes it works out.
Fluer- Get well soon. Again.
People running for President in 2000- Down here in Texas we have a potential candidate named George W. Bush... If he runs for the high office, I'm voting for him...

**RP HERE**
The TV comes on, revealing Traveler, Shap, Lathrop, and Janice at the Fairmont Hotel. Traveler is sitting in a chair, with the others grouped near him. "Alright," Janice tells her two helpers, "Lathrop, have you magically sealed the room?" The wizard nods. "Traveler cannot escape from here until he's answered all our questions." "And he'll have to answer them truthfully," snaps Shap. "I got a detect lie spell up just in case." Traveler gives him an evil grin. "Okay, Traveler," Janice says, turning back to face the prisoner. "Let's begin our interrogation. First..."
The screen changes to the Marsh Building, where the Ravens have stopped on the stairway and are giving Fleur healing potions and bandaging her wounds. "Okay," Kitainia says as she ties off the last strip. "That should hold you until we can get back to the hotel. There Orion can take care of things." Fleur smiles. "Thanks. I feel better already." "Okay," says Doug. "The plan now is for us to get the heck out of here. We have Fleur back in the party, Traveler's in custody, and Marsh is dead. No more reason for us to stay around here." Kitainia nods. "Let's go." She then turns to make a CR post as the Ravens continue down the stairs.
**PAUSE RP**
Well, the first of the three papers Doug and I each had to do over Spring Break got done today. As a result, we're both kinda creatively drained. But at least we can still post in here. :)
Mandi: Thanks for posting the link to "Wherever You Are." It was good, for a PR crossover. <grin>
Welcome to all newcomers and returning people!
Deuce: Good idea about Ravyn. Doug and I will begin sending her parents "getting-to-know-you" messages as soon as our creativity comes back and we know what to say. Hope everyone else does the same, and that it works.
Jackal: Big welcome back to you. Glad you're feeling alright. And congrats on not having the HIV virus.
DumlaoX: Congrats on getting your Compaq fixed. Hope it never has problems again. And don't forget to get DC back for what happened, if he was responsible. :) Oh, and very nice yearbook picture. I wonder what your senior quote was. <grin>
**BEGIN COMMENTS ON, SPOILERS FOR LONGEST DAY 2**
Part 2 of Longest Day wasn't as long as Part 1, but it was just as good. There was a lot of great character development in here, especially on Demona, Elisa, and Angela. I too was laughing my head off when Andrea walked in on Elisa and Demona preparing for the latter's healing spell. This episode was also good in plot and I liked how it resolved the last part's three major conflicts (dream, Broadway's illness, and the possible quake). The flashbacks were also a good part of the action, I agree with Kaioto about them. All in all, another TGS masterpiece. Keep up the good work!
**SPOILERS AND COMMENTS END**
Heather, Robby: Read your first story. Nice job. Thanks for the entertainment. I especially liked the romance. Hope to soon see more work from both of you.
Kaioto: Call me an occult/arcane know-little, but what's the difference between a pentacle and a pentagram? On the rest of the magic deal in the latest episode, I agree with you and Todd.
Demona have feelings for another woman? I really doubt it, but hey, anything's possible, right? :) Oh, btw, did anyone hear that on Party of Five soon they're going to have Julia get involved with another woman? <grimaces> I bet they're doing it just for ratings. Hopefully what happened to Ellen will also happen to this (IMO) really boring and ridiculous soap opera of a show.
Green Baron: $ Uh oh, Asil's kidnapping you? Looks like trouble! Be careful with her, okay? Oh, and btw, you can tell Asil apart from me by the fact that she has her hair partially dyed bright violet and cadmium red, her ears are torn ragged on the edges (burn scars), and she always wears some kind of sinister or bestial expression. Then there's her personality, which is like mine but twisted to evil instead of good. It's kinda like Faith meets Callisto meets Demona. Bad news. Other than that, Asil's also a half-garg and looks just like me, especially if she dresses similarly. In whatever plans you have for you and her, I wish you luck. :) $
**BEGIN BUFFY COMMENTS, SPOILERS**
Just finished watching "Enemies." Cool episode. I liked how they developed all the characters in here, especially Giles, Buffy, Xander, Willow, and the Mayor. Faith was also nicely developed, I think it's clear she is really a bad guy now. I still don't get why Xander's not giving her the ultimate cold shoulder. Maybe she gave him a fake apology. <shrug> I don't know. It was also good seeing Angelus again, especially the interaction between him and the Mayor. I agree, the latter is a VERY hilarious villain. The action between Buffy and Angel/Angelus in this episode was also good, and I liked the plot. And talk about shocker endings! :) Buffy, Giles, and Angel sure played a good trick. Hope the next new episode is just as good as this one.
**BUFFY SPOILERS AND COMMENTS END**
Okay, I guess that's all for tonight. Later, people. And let us continue to hope and pray that Ravyn will return to us. <folds hands, kneels, and asks God to help Ravyn as much as He can> Amen. Bye!!
**BEGIN POST-ENDING RP HERE, KINDA LONG**
The Ravens finally make it down to the lobby, where one last HUGE crowd of security guards is waiting for them. In the middle of the group is Daniel Kilmer, piloting a huge ED-209 (from the Robocop movies)-like robot armed with missile launcher and laser Gatling gun. The Ravens step back as he and the guards face them, Stephanie rubbing her brow as though she's having a headache. "Hello, Ravens," Kilmer greets the group. "Soon you will be dead, and I will take Marsh's place as Thailog's economic director. Prepare to meet whatever gods you worship. Muhahahaha!!" He and the guards open fire, the good guys begin dodging and trying to shoot back. Fleur, Doug, and Kitainia carefully angle their dodges so Kilmer's blasts hit the security guards instead of them. The others stay out of the robot's way, trying to take out guards on their own. Pretty soon, only the robot still faces the Ravens and Kilmer is running low on ammo. "Stand still!!" he screams at the Ravens as they once again avoid taking heavy damage from his blasts. "Shut up!" Boris shouts, Mist agreeing with a loud meow. Both then raise their weapons and fire at the robot. Boris's shot takes out the cockpit, Mist's chaingun destroys the legs. There is a loud explosion and the machine comes crashing down, Kilmer slumped over the controls. "Okay," Doug says as the two who destroyed Kilmer lower their guns. "Now let's get out of here." "Hold on," says Kitainia, looking at Kilmer's body. Everyone instantly notices his wounds are healing and the Executive VP is getting up. "It's not over yet." "I know," Stephanie says, stepping forward and drawing her katana. The screen unfortunately chooses this moment to go out.

New Orleans, Louisiana
Green Baron is asleep in his bedroom, when a woman and three men following her break into the bedroom. The female, who looks a lot like Kitania suddnely grabs the Green Baron's neck. "I got you. Orange was right about your weakness. You will never fight a woman, not even in self-defense. BTW, my name is Asil. Your little scouts have been causing a lot of troublke for my plans along with your obnoxious cat. I could kill you, but you're kind of cute. Besides, you'll do better as ransome or we can clone you, or better yet, brainwash..."
**END RP**
Celano> I knew that was why you had those books against wrestling. Now, if i oculd only remember teh Latin. Oops wrong giant books :) I hope you feel better.
Lawrence> I think Kaioto put it best. Besides, if that kid is trying to convert someone, he should do better than threats of damnation. Hopefully, he was from one of those backwoods faiths that wait until someone is a teenager before baptising them, and tehn go to Services were their clerics wear no special garments. I hope that twit wasn't a Catholic. If he is, then I apologize for his stupid behavior, too.
Stormy> Is Luther male or female? Minus the yellow, Luther looks like a Catholic priest. I take it you're a traditional Lutheran :)
Deuce> I wonder about Demona's thoughts regarding women. I doubt that theory, myself.
Kaioto> I am impressed. You definitely have a way with words.
Traveler> Why would I be offended by Carlin? I figured you were Republican. What do you think of Jack Kemp.
Political Update> Steve Forbes has announced he will run for President. I guess if he wins, it will be Revenge of the Nerds IV :)
SJ> BTW, Reverend Attila is a Republican, too. I think Kurt Russell and Clint Eastwood are as well. Let's noty forget Charleton Heston and of course Ronald Reagan. He definitely kicked major ass throughout the world. "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!!" It's so sad that he has Alzheimer's.
DumaloX> Don't mind my cat. He alwasy suggests getting a cta to make someone feel better. I hope your dad's health is improving.
Jackal> I guess I don't find the puppy thing funny. I think you need to stick with perscription stuff. There is no telling what will happen, and the last thing you want is to have a son become an orphan.
Coyote> I hope you start to feel better. There is nothing you need to apologize for.
Wilek> Al Gore makes just as many stupid comments as Dan Quayle. Hopefully, there will be a supise upset and John Kasich will be our new President. I'll vote for John in the primary, but I'll probably vote against Owl Gore in the General Election. Hopefully, I can vote for George or Liddy. Otheriwse, there's the Libertarian party to consider.
Iornwolf> Not too well. I've not been going to Mass every day. As for you, just hang on in there. You can make it :)

*GROSS STUFF AHEAD*
Fleur teleports into the CR, coughing and sniffling. Finally, after an extra big cough, two mosters fly out of her mouth, the flu she had from last week, and the asthma monster. Then she blows her nose, and a third, new virus tumbles out. They begin to move back towards her.
"No!" Fleur screams, "GO AWAY! Find someone else to torment. Like him!" Fleur points to Kenny, who begins to look worried. "He's immortal! You can bug him for all eternity! Go make his life miserable!!"
The sick-monsters consider this for a moment, then leap at Kenny. Fleur sighs in relief, and teleports away.
*END...WHATEVER THAT WAS.*
Hi all,
Yeah, the point of that stuff was that I'm sick. AGAIN. This time it's a lovely little virus that appears to have turned on a tap in my nose. Of course, the asthma just loves it. I'm a little less enthusiatic about the whole thing, myself, especially since I _still_ haven't gotten over what I had last week. You know, we should introduce a new immortal character to the CR - some sort of sickness bug we can seriously hurt every time something 1 billionth our size beats the proverbial c^@p out of us.
Okay, whinging aside,

Get well Kaioto. <<I wonder what it means to be 18 and still have Sesame Street flash backs>> It means you are a legend!! LONG LIVE THE STREET!!! *composes self.* sorry 'bout that. Man, I have got to get off the medication.

As the Ravens leap down the stairs, they come face to face with dozens of Security Guards, all armed to the teeth and pointing those weapons directly at them.
"Put your hands in the air!" The head security guard barks. The Ravens look at each other, then slowly raise their hands. At that moment, a shot fires out from the nearby window, and the head security guard falls dead. Using the distraction, the good guys (that's us!:)) attack the rest of the security guards. After a heated battle, the SG are all either dead or have fled. Kitania turns to the window where the shot was fired from, just as Fleur stumbles through it, her arms covered in blood.
"Fleur!"
Fleur sits up, blinking, and leans against the wall. The others crowd around her.
"What happened?" Doug asks.
"Well, I grabbed hold of the elevator cable and after I stopped falling, another elevator came rushing up. I just managed to kick a hole in the wall, and get through before the elevator squished me. Anyway, there were too many people running around, so jumped out a window. Did you guys know Marsh is dead?"
"Yeah." Shauna says.
"Okay. Well, I decided to fly back to the Onslaught, but then I saw you guys in trouble, so I decided to help out." Fleur looks at her hands, then asks weakly, "Is there a doctor in the house?"

Hi, everyone. I know I haven't been here lately, but I've been preoccupied with harsh reality.
*******COMMENTS ON "THE LONGEST DAY" *******
It wasn't a bad two-parter, but I think I liked part one better. The flashbacks in part two got a bit tedious after a while, and I knew that vision of the future wasn't real, but I felt like it needed a better "explanation." I can't explain how, but that's just how I feel. As some other people have mentioned before, maybe the episode would have seemed better if it was an actual TV episode. *shrugs* Still, not bad at all. I liked the character development.
******* END COMMENTS *******
Okay, I don't know if this is appropriate, but I need some help here. I'm doing so badly this semester that I might have to withdraw from school to avoid completely destroying my GPA. I feel terrible about this. I don't think I studied enough and then I kept getting sick, and that made me really tired so it was hard for me to study at all. And (okay, this sounds really cheesy) I think the stress is getting to me. For the past few days I haven't been able to do much other than barely avoid getting hysterical whenever I think of school. I'm just realizing now that I should never have majored in a science; I don't think I like it enough. Maybe I'll go for psychology or some other social science. *sigh* I feel like a total loser, and the worst part is that I brought this all upon myself. The only way I'd feel worse was if I had accidentally killed someone. There goes any hope for graduate school. And what am I going to say when they ask me why I withdrew? Flu and stress is an incredibly lame excuse. I'd only be able to pull that off if I tried to jump off the clock tower here (not that I'm actually considering it). So I guess I don't have any real excuse at all. I'm going to humiliate myself and my family. I destroyed my academic career and I'm only a freshman. :-( Any advice would be welcome.

*the harpy is ill. she has a bad sinus infection, with a bloody discharge. her head, throat and ear hurts. One of her tonsils is roughly the size of a tangerine, the other the size of a grapefruit. she can hear an irritating high-pitched noise computers make out of her sore ear that she couldn't hear before. She feel dizzy and nauseasous, and her lungs are starting to feel pretty sh*tty too.* So, basically, I am in no mood to be fussed with, not even in jest. I hope you will excuse the ugly display that follows.
Sevarius Jr> I don't give a damn about wrestling either way. It's ugly, nasty, violent, fake, and IMO, stupid, but that has nothing to do with it. I'm destroying it because Dark Man of Peace (StarFire's husband) carelessly destroyed my Hunter's Moon tape because of it. He destroyed what I loved best, so I'm destroying what he loves best, get it? So you s*** it, you little piss-ant! You sound just like my bratty-@$$ 14-year-old punk brother. *kick SJ out of sight, beyond the distant mountains*
Once again, I appologize to the room for this unusual fit of pique, but I listen to enough of that hostile, inarticulate, brain-washed babbling at home, and am in no mood for it here.

Robby: Oops- never mind that last reply. :) it's what comes from having three windows open at once and trying to do everything quickly :) Aziz should have been there more though, but the way he died was the best! For the others you mention though, Jafar was a bit boring, Miraj's catty tales sort of wore thin, but Mozenrath was still cool. Oh, that cat thing Chaos was the funniest. It was called something like "When Chaos comes calling"... ages since I've watched it though. But I remember thinking it was hilarious at the time. Wasn't that a Miraj ep?

**** WARNING SPOLIERS FOR LONGEST DAY PT 2*********
Ha! i knew
it was a dream! Thank god! But then this question refers to what everyone is asking. Who's dream was it really? Besides just the Queen's fantasy, I think it was everyopne's dreams and fears mixed together. One way or another everyone fears the unseelie in some way. I didn't really mind all the flashbacks that Demona was experiancing.. because it related to what she was feeling. I liked the part were Andrea showed up at Demona's house when Elisa was there.. it cracked me up BIG TIME! haha. Anyways, using the bloodstone was a creative idea to cure Broadway, but I was surprized that Elisa was going to help. (Goliath didn't need to say thank you to her!)
Anyways, I was very relived to see it was only a dream. The ending made me have a nice fuzzy feeling to the end. Demona was accepted for at least that night, and Goliath and Elisa resolved for the rest of the evening to follow up on a long awaied convo on them. (whitch is good to see because Iwas concerned what would become of them) all in all, it was a good story.

Robby: Aziz was the green goblin-guy. He appeared in the 2-part tale (as far as I know there was only one) that deals with how Al met Abu. But he was far cooler when he returned to the palace in his super-powerful form.
***COMMENTS INCLUDE ‘THE LONGEST DAY PART TWO’ SPOILERS***
I’m actually surprised by many of the comments here; most of the things people seem to find frustrating seem to me to be the best bits.
I believe (and I think that’s what Patrick’s rather obscure post was pointing at) the whole idea of the dream was that it was not clear whose it was. That’s left for the reader to interpret, and in some ways it isn’t a sole set of fears and ambitions, but a culmination of them. It could be Broadway in his sleep; there are hints that it’s Maeve; Demona is another obvious one; it could be Angela’s fears. The story doesn’t take you by the hand and show you one person’s dream, it shows you a dream and it is left for you to interpret. Personally, I think that’s quite a cool take.
The other point is the flashbacks. I found the way it created a build-up rather appealing. TGS stories are long things, and there are so many of them, that reading them as often as you might watch a twenty-minute TV show is nearly impossible. Dredging up memories here gives (I think) a far greater interaction with the episodes before it, and the whole story seems to work far better with the rest of the episodes. It was similar in HUNTER’S MOON; there was no need for the Gillecomgain flashback and addition in part one. We knew the story before. But by linking it together it added an extra magic. Similarly, by pasting the development of Demona into one solid flashback, it all seems far more vivid.
However, I must say the ‘previously’ section was ridiculous. It didn’t need to be that long, for heaven’s sake! And that was a nightmare to download…

***** WARNING SPOLIERS FOR PT OF LONGEST DAY*******
Ha! I KNEW that it was only a dream! actually to tell everyone the truth I was surprized it turned out to be a dream. But then that goes to the question who's dream was it exactly? I think it was a combination of everyone's dreams and fears put together. Everyone fears the unseelie one way or another. Reading all the flashbacks was a pain I do amit, but it gave a good image of what Demona was going through while chanting the spell. The idea of using the bloodstone to cure Broadway of his vampireness was also good ( yay! Elisa helped but Goliath really didn't need to say thanks)
What I wished was that the buildup of the first part could've backed up the conculsion a little more. Alot of issues and questions ( that are really fun to answer though sometimes on your own may I add) Even so, the ending was well done, Demona was sorta accepted, and Goliath and Elisa thing was really good, cause I was concerned about how they were doing :) My fave part was the Elisa+ Andrea+ Demona thing! I was really cracking up. All in all the story did turn out okay.

Christine> ["...is Andrea sweet on Demona?"] That thought crossed my mind, too. Looks very likely. Which brings up another odd thought: over 1,000 years, has Demona ever "had feelings" for another woman? Sick, yeah, but a point that's nagged at me before.
Stormy> ["Just because someone's getting help doesn't mean they're sick and wrong."] How true. I was in therapy before, and I wasn't "wrong". Sick, yes, but not in such a way I was dangerous to others, and not in the way that means twisted and perverse. I was just sick. Now I'm better.

JACKAL: Just because someone's getting help doesn't mean they're sick and wrong. A friend of mine goes to a psychiatrist to help with some behaviour patterns picked up from her childhood that are affecting her current behaviour, hurting her and holding her back from living a healthy life. And there's nothing wrong with her as a person--it's just the behaviour she needs to learn how to deal with.
Glad you're off the street stuff. Lord only knows what goes in that stuff, and taking something when you don't know how to use it for your situation is like playing around with a nuclear warhead... Wishing you all the best.

Tip of the Day: If you actually go to the gym and work out really hard (e.g. running a mile and a half for the first time in months) give yourself ample time to cool down before heading out into the 30 degree weather. Even if your ride is having a spaz about leaving on time. *sniffle* Instant head cold. Go figure.
Steve> <<I'm on a LAN (T1 or T3, I can't remember which). >> Oh, be quiet. :)
**TGS COMMENTS**
Airwalker> <<Personally I feel that Demona seems to have mellowed out too much.>> Well, I can see where you're coming from with that one, but consider the circumstances. She's probably still recovering from "Lethe" in the first place, which kind of shook up her beliefs about humans. And from coming *this close* to casting that spell. This may sound like a weird excuse, but even Demona was to crack under stress from time to time. And before the Unseelie popped up, there was never something so ominous hanging over all their heads. Madoc and company want to enslave humans and gargoyles, period. Even for a thousand-year-old immortal gargoyle, that's got to be a major source of stress.
Besides, if the miscast spell released enough magic to screw up the Unseelie's plans, it must have physically taken a lot out of Demona. No matter how much she hated Elisa, she seemed too drained to really bother with a lot of venom. She wasn't exactly in top form when Elisa confronted her.
Angela as a moderating influence is one thing; the threat of the Unseelie hanging over everyone compounds that big time. If/when that threat is past, maybe a little of the old Demona will resurface - a defense mechanism she can afford to resort to again.

Doug> Yeah, well, "Asking for Directions" is driving me crazy. Too many ideas keep messing me up. I only saw the second half of the last part of the PRLG pilot when he actually fell to his (presumed) death, and cranked that out on a sugar rush. Glad you liked it, though. :)

**COMMENTS ON CURRENT TGS EPISODE**
I KNEW it was a dream! But whose dream was it? It seems to me like both Angela and Maeve shared it which leads me to think that maybe there might be someone else in the background who is manipulating the entire situation beyond the Seelie and the Unseelie. Could it be Oberon? He seems to have mysteriously disappeared. (I would doubt this because Oberon doesn't strike me as being bright enough to be a master manipulator.) Or maybe it's Queen Danu who has also vanished from the playing field?
As to the flashbacks, I feel that there were too many of them. One or two were alright when they expanded on the previously seen scene, like the Nostradamus flashback or the addition to THE RECKONING.
Personally I feel that Demona seems to have mellowed out too much. When Elisa found her in the park there didn't feel to me anyway like there was enough tension. Demona is supposed to hate her, and the attitude that I would expect that she would have around Elisa is one like "Be happy that I tolerate you as a curtesy to my daughter. Otherwise I'd get my lazer out of my office and hunt you through the Park like the animal that you are."
Even with Angela around as a moderating influence, Demona should still be arrogent and causing everyone around her to instantly become nervous (well except for Angela, Brooklyn, and his family). I keep seeing the scene from HUNTER'S MOON 2 where she is locked up with Goliath, Brooklyn, and Lex. Her behavior then seemed a little more right, with her just casually walking past Brooklyn and Lex like they didn't exist as she moved to the front of the cell. As it is she seems to be spending a lot of her time recently crying and fighting with her concience.
Goliath's attitude at the end was perfect as there is no greater hate than true love betrayed. And I did love the Andrea/Elisa/Demona scene. It was very funny.
Overall it was not a bad episode and despite a complaint here and an opinion there, it was a pretty good read.

Thank you everone. I appreciate your support. Really. *sigh* And I now see that my apology two nights ago was the wrong thing, so nobody has to come and hurt me. Besides that, last night I found the gumption somewhere in me to do something about this situation, which, depending on the outcome, could be either the most courageous or the most stupid freaking thing I have ever done. Until I know the outcome, I'm not going to say what I did.

SJ: Yeah, while IM'ing with Robby after posting it that night, I made an offhand comment to it that it's the best writing I think I've ever done ... followed by another one that I should write depressed more often.
Of course, he brought me to my senses ... the side effects aren't worth the quality of writing.

DumlaoX: I know what ya mean about Compaq ... my inkjet printer is a Compaq product and is the biggest pain in the ass printer I've had to deal with ... to put it bluntly, I have to spoon-feed it one page at a time, otherwise it gets a paper jam. :P
Stormy: **looks over post to Jackal** Morphine and Demerol? Yikes ...
Robby: Boogie blocks ... **shudder**
Doug: Fully agree about the action film bit ... hopefully the screenplay I work on off and on will be a decent character-development film in addition to the action.
Okay, I haven't read the new eps yet, and probably won't get a chance until tomorrow night ... when I post next I'll have opinions on them. If my courageous/stupid thing has an outcome by that time, as well, I'll tell what I did.

Personally, I think that the people most likely to be offended with depictions of magical rituals in TGS are already sufficiently offended by the notion of beings that turn to stone in the day and have batlike wings, fangs, claws, and horns being portrayed as noble protectors rather than evil demons that it won't make that much difference :)

Wilek: I don't know about all the magic stuff. Personally, I have issues with Satan and Satanism. Magic and mysticism are a different ballpark, however. I don't fall in for the Inquisition notions of magic being all the work of the Devil. More often, I find magic is a pseudo-natural force, just a power to be harnessed and used, its good or evil determined by the magic-user. Diablorie is another story. I find powers invoked from Devils, Demons, and Daemons to be a counter balance to holy forces on the clerical magic nature. Self-mutilation and blood sacrifice is a common primitive element of much mysticism. Look at Catholicism. We consume the flesh and blood of our Savior and remember His rather bloody and horrible death and the life that sprung from it with awe. I would recommend in retrospect that TGS crew use Pentacles instead of Pentagrams, however. Still, even the Pentagram has use beyond Satanic connotations.
**Since I posted this at the close of the last CR before I went to sleep and then they wiped, I'm carrying it over …**
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.

Sorry about that, but it was important …
Jackal: Hey man, I dunno. Be careful with that stuff man, you've got friends and family who depend on you. As for killing things, I don't approve of killing anything, even in neglect, for no god reason. Hunting for sport even aggravates me. Life is a precious gift, not to be abused or taken lightly. At the very least it is to be enjoyed and cherished. :)

**TGS PART 2 Spoiler**
I enjoyed the ep, but I have to say that the flashbacks were bulky. In books you don't have to flashback like that. But, in the show you would have to almost. *Shrugs* Still, I liked some of the plot points made and the character development was excellent, but I felt it was somewhat disrupted and that was a drawback from what otherwise was exceptional.

°°°°°Warning- even though I really don't feel this should be here, but ya know..., here's a JackaL post. So if you already said TWICE that you weren't gonna read my posts, I guess this warning's for you.°°°
I'm sorry Fire Storm, I understand your consern, but it seems I've done things to go against the two things you listed ::trying damnest not to say anything about 1st baby that got aborted::
Anyway, I've come to the conculsion that either I except what I've become as the person I am. Or say, I'm sick, wrong and insane and get help. Traditionally, most people are gonna tell me to get help, on the other hand, I wanna break away from mainstream and become the local "antichrist" figure, like when I die..., the house that I lived in..., all the kids are gonna say that I haunt it, ya know. But do I want my kids growing up to be like me? In some aspects, of course I do, in others.., no. I no longer have the ability to mold my daughter into my frame of mind, however I still do with my son, and if he thinks, feels, and believes with all his heart that doing a small play that invovled dead puppies was art, then I'd support him 100%. If he was just doing it to be sick, he's totein an ass whoopin. ::does Forest Gump impression:: That's all I have to say about that.
<<God, I thought your "survey" was bad>>
It WASN'T MY survey...., however..., I did think of one, it's more ridiculous than repulsive.
Damn Robby, I gotcha the frist time around..., I'm "mental", not stupid. But, yeah, yall are right I'll lay off the street Prozac, and do what my bestfriend told me to do, go see someone and talk to them, see what they put me on!!!
<<where would your kids be without you>>
They'll have an easier and more sane life, is the 1st thing that came to mind. But the other would be that my son would have no one to watch Buffy with!!!
<<I was laughing my ass off. Oh well, I always did like dark humor>>
Yeah, that's it! Encourage the demon that lurks within me..., no really..., thanks for encouraging him, I alwayz did..., someone's gotta like him. btw, great death!
And for the record.., No my son did NOT see the puppy thing, and Vanessa beat the living s*** out of me, see der, now ya know.

(Traveler is once again trying my patience. But I will not stand for his procrastination. I'll get around it and post, changing the RP scene while I wait. Hope he appreciates the possibilities of the new circumstances I'll put him in. :)
**RP HERE**
"It's like this, see," Traveler starts. "Uh, Marsh, Thailog, me, we, uh, uh..." "Traveler, stop beating around the bush!" Doug yells at him. "Just tell us what we need to know." Janice Ripowski suddenly steps forward, pushes him aside and says, "Why don't we let a skilled interrogator take over here, Mr. Elder?" Doug nods. "Good idea. Please proceed." "Alright, Traveler," Janice starts. "In the name of the US government I demand you answer all my questions. Question the first- what is your relationship with Marsh industries?" "Well, uh,.." Traveler is suddenly cut off by a blizzard of shots from the stairwell. Two of the stooges and Tommy Walker are hit and go down, the stooges unconscious and the biker dead. "You killed Curly and Moe!" Larry screams, mistaking his teammates' comas for death. "You'll pay for this!!" He rushes at Marsh's security guards, tackling the man in front (who happens to be Kilmer's bodyguard from before) and beats him to death with his fists. Then the other guards hit him with the butts of their rifles, knocking the third stooge out. The Ravens return fire, taking down most of the group. "Doug, we can't interrogate Traveler with these guards on our backs!" Kitainia points out as the last guard crumples. "We need to get out of here!" Doug nods in agreement. "Lathrop," he orders. "Take Janice, Shap, and Traveler back to the hotel through one of your teleportation spells. There you guys take care of questioning him. The rest of us will mop up here and then come find out what's up." "Okay, Doug," Shap says. The paladin then hands his shotgun to Stephanie. "Here, use this. You'll need it." Steph nods. "Thanks." Lathrop then gestures and he, Shap, Janice, and Traveler teleport back to the hotel. Doug turns to the others. "Okay, here's what we do. We head back downstairs, take care of all the guards in our way. We also need to find Fleur. I hope she's not in too much trouble." Everyone nods and follows him back into Marsh's office. On the speakers above them, Kilmer continues to direct guards the Ravens' way. As they battle their way back downstairs, Doug turns to make a CR post.
**PAUSE RP**
Well, spring break's going great so far. Last night we had the infamous Bryn Mawr-style bra party. It was a lot of fun. All us Ravens were there, we drank, danced, played strip poker (Kitainia won), watched a couple movies, and generally we all had a great time. Wish you guys coulda been there. Oh well.
The three movies: Kitainia's already given my opinions on Wing Commander, The Corruptor, and Carrie 2. All were pretty good movies, Wing Commander had its moments. Overall, though, it was WAY too cliched to be good. Stephen, your attitude about action flicks is exactly what kind of attitude we need to stop having, IMHO. Yes, there are a lot of action flicks with no plots and bad acting. However there are also classic action flicks such as most of Stallone's movies (Cobra and Judge Dredd come to mind), most of Swarzenegger's (Terminator films, Predator, Commando, Total Recall, Last Action Hero. I like the last because it made fun of cliches), and a few of Van Damme's (Maximum Force, Lionheart, Double Impact) that had both good acting and great plots. Same deal for most of Harrison Ford's action flicks (the Indiana Jones trilogy), and Nicolas Cage's (The Rock, 8mm). This also goes for some of the James Bond movies, particularly Timothy Dalton's. I think we need to not diss the whole action genre just because of a few bad cliched movies made by guys like Dolph Lundgren and Brian Bosworth. Remember, among the ore gems do exist. If fans and critics would remember that and start demanding the gems from Hollywood, maybe we wouldn't get ore so much. But of course this is only my opinion. You did make an excellent point, even if I disagree. :)
Fanlight, all other newcomers: Welcome to the CR. Hope you like it here.
Batman Beyond Episode: Augh, I missed another new one. And one that sounds good, too. Damn me forgetting to set my VCR. If someone could e-mail me a synopsis of the ep, please do so. I will be very grateful. Also if anyone could mail me a synopsis of the Golem robot episode (missed that one, too) I would also be grateful. Thanks.
Mandi: Good Buffy/PR crossover. Though since Kit and I don't watch Lost Galaxy we didn't understand a lot of it. We thought the fic was going to be "Asking for Directions." Oh well. :)
Heather: Okay, I sent you an e-mail asking for a pic. Hope you got it. As for what I put in there, it's all guidelines, not demands. You can do the pic however you want, just make sure it includes Nudnik, Graeme, and Arianna. The other characters could be in the background, but leave 'em out if you think it's too much work. I realize I may have asked too much of you. :( Sorry about that. Please send me an e-mail as soon as you can if you got the message. I'd like to know that you did. Also, if you need clarification on anything about the commission, don't hesitate to ask.
Jackal: Welcome back to the CR. Congrats on being HIV-negative. I currently have an old friend named Jascha who's just been diagnosed with AIDS, I know it is one bad disease, man. He has ten years to live. Really glad you don't also have it.
**BEGIN COMMENTS ON AND SPOILERS FOR LONGEST DAY TWO**
Good episode, though I think there a bit too many flashbacks at the start. But they all showed Demona's character development, so that's good. Speaking of which, great character development on Demona and Elisa all throughout. I really like how they're slowly but surely becoming friends. And the scene where Andrea comes in, sees Elisa's cuffs, and gets the wrong idea...that was priceless. I was ROFLMAO (and my head was unfortunately full of unspeakable creativity demons after reading it <grin>). Thanks for the laughs. Also nice job on fixing Broadway's ailment (I wonder if it's possible for Gargs to become vampires now that Broadway almost did. I know it is in my fic saga, but not sure about TGS), and stopping the Unseelie's plans. This episode had a great plot. Overall thumbs up, 8/10. Keep up the good work.
**END COMMENTS AND SPOILERS**
Fanfic Archive Fix: I've been informed that others are having the same problems I am and Chris is looking into it. Hope he gets things fixed soon. Until then, if anyone wants to read "Vengeance" or "Clash of the New Olympians," please e-mail me and ask for a copy. (Those are the two fics of mine taken out in the recent crash.) I shall continue to work on Slayer Senshi whenever I can make time.
DumlaoX: Oh yeah, Compaqs can be real nasty sometimes. Mine has to flipped on, flipped off, and then flipped on again just to boot up all the way. Real annoying. Glad you got the bigger problem with yours fixed. If I win the lottery and can afford a new computer, I'll probably upgrade to a custom-designed optimum-preformance Dell.
Robby, Heather: I also read your story. Good job. All I'll say is I really liked the characters, plot, and romance. It's obvious you two write well as a team. :) Thanks for the entertainment and keep up the good work.
Robby: Yes, I have noticed Bruce the gargoyle. In fact he was part of the basis for my first fic- a Spiderman/Gargs crossover called "Webs and Stone." It can be found at GFW. I got a few good reviews of the fic, and some bad ones. I've really improved since then. <grin> I'm also glad James Cameron won't be directing Spiderman. I have liked most of his movies, but for this one I know they can find someone else who will get more approval from the fans and still do a good job on the movie. At least, I hope they can. <fingers crossed>
Traveler: Hope you post soon, man. Though I understand you may not have time to that often. Do it whenever you get the chance. Also when you get the chance, please remember you owe me a ton of feedback. I look forward to eventually reading it. <grin>
Okay, later. That's all for now. I'll be back tomorrow, to comment on the new Buffy among other things. Later!
**RP AGAIN**
Blasting their way through a whole bunch more guards, the Ravens make it to the building stairwell and start heading down. "You know, Doug," Shauna says as they approach the lobby, "I think I figured out who killed Marsh. Kilmer." "Kilmer?" Doug asks. "Why?" "Makes sense," Shauna tells him, putting an arrow through a guard's heart as the Ravens take out another group of them. "Marsh dies, he gets the company, and full economic control of the world if Thailog takes over. He's got a motive." "You're right," Doug nods, throwing a grenade down the stairwell to deal with a group of approaching guards. "Maybe Kilmer did do it. I hope we get a chance to find out." "I hope Fleur's okay," Kitainia says. "You know we're not leaving without her." "No way," Doug agrees. "No way we are. I hope we find her soon." The screen fades out as the Ravens continue shooting their way down the stairs.

64 DAYS UNTIL STARWARS EPISODE ONE!!!
Hmm... Cruel TGS teasers? Hmm... In just eight and a half weeks on Timedancer... Nah, I'm not that mean.
Aziz was the short green guy? **Slaps self** Okay, I remember now... But I don't put him on the same level as Miraj, Mosenwrath, and Jafar. He only appeared twice, (Three times if two parters count twice) and personally, I didn't care for him that much, he wasn't as cool as the other three villains. Just powerful. And power alone does not a villain make. (He slapped Aladdin together with the smartest and strongest palace guard available... Real smooth move Azaz..)
Wilek- I went with Brooklyn and Broadway because their names are similar, as are Yakko and Wakko's.
James Cameron isn't directing Spidey? YES! Thats one of three requests... Now, if only Jim Carrey or the guy from "There's Something About Mary" don't get the title character, and Stan Lee is involved, it'll be a movie worth seeing!
Hmm, while on the subject of Spidey... Anyone ever notice he talks to a piece of statuary named Bruce the gargoyle?
SJ- My, that was a violent DC death.
Lets see, fo r the heck of it, I'll post a few messages I posted right before the room cleared...
Kiato- I liked your creativity demon with Lex saying "Its not easy being green."
Kermit- Welcome back to the world of posting!
Jackal- After that puppy thing, I'm just skipping your posts from now on,period.

Well, for the second day in a row now, my computer seems to be freezing evertime I go on the internet. AT EVERY SITE I GO TOO. Just sits there, making noises, while the page is "loading". Of course, ten minutes later, it still hasn't done jack. I'm ready to chuck it. So, well,
*****WARNING: VERY, VERY, VERY VIOLENT DIS CONNECT DEATH******
SJ wanders into a particularly nasty area of the CR. There, Dis Connect is strapped medieval style to a table.
"So....you've made my 'net life a real hell for the last couple of days. So...well, I'm gonna have to kill you. Slowly."
"No! Please.....can't you take a joke?"
"No."
First SJ takes a power drill--Sears Craftsman to be specific--and bores holes along DC's arms, blood spurting out merrily from every wound. Placing gloves on this hands, SJ holds up a transparent jar for DC's inspection. "See these? Bolivian tree maggots. Very rare. Very hungry too."
SJ places a few maggots at each of the drill wounds. Smelling the blood, each of the tiny worms dives into the wounds, and begins to feast. It's not long before DC's arms and legs are nothing but shredded pieces of rotten, maggot-infested meat hanging off bones. But SJ's not done.
Calmly, he jabs too metal knives into DC's temple--enough to hurt, but not enough to kill. He then grabs a pair of battery cables and a Sears DieHard. "Get ready, big boy." SJ clamps the cables to the battery, then to the two knives in DC's forehead, electrocuting the man. The sickening smell of burnt flesh permeates the room, as DC's eyeballs begin to melt into gelatinous puddles, and blood runs out of his mouth and ears.
"There. Now I feel better."
******WARNING: THIS HAS BEEN THE SICKEST DC DEATH I'VE EVER DONE*******
Kaioto: Hey, good to see you back! I've missed your posts. You're our resident philosophical intellectual, dontcha know! :)
Jackal: Glad to see you back too. And I'm glad you're clean....or as clean as you get. As for your bit about the puppies.....I don't know, maybe deep down I'm some sort of sick, demented SOB but....I was laughing my ass off. Oh well, I always did like dark humor.
Coldstone: Actually, the original Shining Force is the only one of the series I've played. I'm kinda burnt out on my Playstation games, and I don't have the cash to get any new ones right now, so I raided a friend's old Genesis collection. Horrible animation and a simple plot, but it's a rather fun little RP.
Proof That There Is A God (at least to me): I just read in the news that, due to a scheduling conflict, James Cameron will NOT be involved in the Spider-Man movie. Somebody up there's been listening!! Hey, maybe it won't suck after all!

None of the officers we assmilated know where exactly the fleet is--only its destination and that it has been launched." Wilek: "Shoot! Can you detect them; find out where they are yourself?" Admin.: "No; they seem to be cloaked." Wilek: "Alright, send a warning to the other teams, and send some vessels to NORAD to protect it. Make certain they remain shrouded until it's absolutely necessary to decloak. This is *not* good..."]
**PAUSE RP AND BEGIN MR DISCONNECT DEATH**
[Dark Mage Wilek casts a spell, and he, Wilek, and Mr. Disconnect find themselves in a medieval-looking room with lots of wood cabinets lining the walls. Wilek: "Well, well. We meet yet again. But...one would think that after so many agonizing deaths at my hands, you would learn your lesson, instead of making me try an estimated ten times for a connection like you did today. Shame. It's time we...educated you. Brother?" DMW gestures, and the cabinets open themselves, revealing all manner of magic and mundane weapons. Wilek: "Do you like my armory? Hm...what to use on you today...Ah, here's something..." Wilek takes a strange, triangular rune mde of grey stone from the wall and gives it to the Dark Mage. Holding it, he gestures at DC, and conjures thousands of shards of bone that fly at DC like bullets from a machine gun; the shards rip him apart, but don't quite kill him. Wilek: "Now it's MY turn." Wilek returns the rune to the shelves and finds a Tesla Cannon on an adjoining shelf. He aims carefully and activates the cannon's altfire mode, unleashing a multi-teravolt ball of electricity that reduces DC to a pile of twitching giblets.]
**END DEATH AND BEGIN NEW FIC SPOILERS!**
Um...good--especially when Andrea encountered Demona and Elisa; that was so funny!--but...somehow I expected more. I mean, I expected the end to be an alternate universe or time travel or *something*. Not a dream; that is such a copout. And I started to get sick of the flashbacks. An otherwise excellent story.

(But wouldn't it be more appropriate with Lex than Brooklyn? Ah well, it was still fun!) And that Boogie Blocks site isn't *almost* as weird as the hamsters, it's much, much weirder. At least hamsters are living things. O_o
Steve> If you get a new version of ZSNES, set it to one of the 640x480 resolution options and activate interpolation; the result is near-perfect graphics emulation.
Speaking of emulation...Is there anyone here with an *extremely* fast Internet connection? Like, say, T1 or ISDN? I've found an interesting looking ROM file, but the server it's on keeps resetting so I can't get it all downloaded in time.
Just saw Reboot on the Cartoon Network today. It'd been so long since I'd seen that show that I'd forgotten how much I love it!
**RESUME RP!**
On the bridge of the enemy flagship, Admiral Nipon recieves a hail from Thailog, which he answers. Thailog: "You'll be recieving a visitor shortly, one of my new allies. Do whatever he asks." Not giving Nipon a chance to speak, he shuts down the comm channel. Nipon: "What on earth..." His question is answered when his visitor, Dahak, arrives. Dahak: "Ah, greetings." Nipon: "Who are--" Dahak: "I'm the fellow your boss warned you about. Now, I need you to cooperate with me. Can we do that?" Completely bewildered, Nipon simply nods. Dahak: "Good. Move your ships in closer together. As close as you can get them without ramming them into each other." Nipon commands the helmsmen of his various ships to do so. Dahak: "Alright..." Dahak begins chanting in an ancient language, and a field of black light surrounds him. He finishes his spell, and the light spreads to infuse the entire fleet. Dahak: "You'll find that your weapons carry a bit more...*punch* to them. <evil chuckle> Care to try them out?" Nipon: "We can't fire while cloaked." Dahak: "You can now." Now intrigued, Nipon has his weapons officer fire at a random spot on the ground. The turbolaser bolt seems shrouded in black mist, and the explosion of dust and vaporized material is much larger than it would have been without the spell. Dahak: "Satisfactory?" Nipon: "Quite impressive..."]

***Spoilers for "The Longest Day Part Two"***
Ooooh, I really hate to do this, but I have to say that I was expecting a *little* bit more from the conclusion. After all the buildup and action and suspense of the first part, I was expecting to be bowled over by this ep. I'd like to address a couple of points:
First, I didn't like the fact that almost all of Part One's cliffhanger was repeated in the "Previously... " section. It seemed to take up far too much space. I liked the opening of this ep, how that timeline was continued, but then it cut off and was revealed (rather bluntly) to be merely Maeve's dream. This didn't sit well with me, mostly because of all the buildup ("Everybody's dead or captured... Demona's betrayed them again... the city's been destroyed.. the Unseelie have won...") and then we're told that it was only a dream - but not by the person we expected! Everyone *assumed* that it would be Demona's fantasy (and I commend TGS on not following the most obvious choice - that one) but I have to ask: Why did Maeve think that Demona would try to work out a deal? All we knew was that Demona was considering it; we never saw similar thoughts coming from Maeve.
Secondly, I thought that the flashbacks that took up most of the entire first half of the story were, at times, rather annoying. While it was a creative usage of old flashbacks and memories, as well as giving us some new scenes, it got rather... well... boring at times. I found myself gliding down the scrollbar, something I never do when reading TGS. Whereas Part One read quickly and was lengthy to boot, it seemed like Part Two was too short, once you took out the flashbacks and got into the meat of it.
Finally, I personally would have liked to see the two main issues of the episode (the nullification of the spells, and Broadway's healing) reversed chronologically. I guess I just assumed that since the cancellation of two spells that would have resulted in nothing less than armageddon (to me at least) was more dramatic than saving the life of a main character, it would be saved for the end. And although the ritual scene was done quite well, I found it somewhat anti-climactic.
Also, I don't know if anyone else thought that Demona's two rituals might seem objectionable to certain individuals? I myself thought while reading about the pentagram and the ritualistic self-mutilation and seeing the picture (good picture, I'm not complaining about its artistry at all) that, "Uh, oh. TGS is gonna take some heat for this." I know that such things aren't necessarily satanic, and that they are central to several religions/beliefs, but honestly, what's the first thing you think of? I'm in no way judging anyone or their belief system, I'm just pointing out that some people might be quick to blame TGS for "spreading satanic influences" or something, and I'd hate to see that. We all know it's harmless, but others might not.
Overall, this was not a bad episode at all. I just expected a little more, is all.

Good Afternoon/Evening everyone! It's been a loong while since I last posted, so I thought I'd peek my head in for a quickie.
** Not-Really-Spoilers for new TGS **
Like all the other TGS eps since "Lethe" I haven't had time to really sit down and read through it, but I skimmed it most of the way through, and read the end. With what I picked up, I really like how everything is developing, especially with Demona. And, y'know, there's nothing really that's going on in the series now that I just couldn't imagine being on the show (except for maybe the bloodstone thing <g>). I really thought about it, and things seem to develop quite nicely, not too quickly. I thought I'd never really get into Angela dealing with magic, but TGS has made me change my mind.
<sigh> Now I'll just have to go back and read everything again, starting with Lethe, including TD, once I get the time, and get all caught up (Not that I'm really complaining or anything) ...Well, Spring Break's coming up here real soon =o)
** End Not-Really-Spoilers **
The Pronunciation thing> Oh, so Graeme *is* pronounced like "Graham" cracker? Hmm, well, I kinda like it better when I think of it as "Grai-May". I had been wondering about that ever since he was introduced. I always pronounced it (in my head) as "Grai-May", but then I remembered the author Graeme Base, and that his name was pronounced like "Graham". Oh well, I always have, and most likely will always think of him as Grai-may, and not Graham.
Special Side Note> Okay, I know there's at least a few Smashing Pumpkins fans out there, and for anyone else who's interested: Wednesday the 17th is Billy Corgan's birthday, so I guess someone thought of requesting "Ava Adore" on Total Request Live on MTV as a sorta...celebration. So if you want, you have to vote AFTER 6:30 PM on Tuesday, but BEFORE 3:30 PM on Wednesday, in order for it to play on Wed. UUhh, so what is it? 1-800-DAIL-MTV, or go to www.mtv.com and click on "shows" then "Total Request Live", it's so easy it's disgusting. I've never cared enough to vote before, really, but today I voted for that KoRn video just for the hell of it. So if you're watching tomorrow and you see a comment like, "This is one of the few videos on TRL that doesn't make me vomit." and it says "Jill from OR" -- that's me =o)
(And on a related note: the professor guy who's suing the Smashing Pumpkins for damaging his hearing while he was at a concert looking for his son, will be on the Today show tomorrow, I think. That should be interesting.)
Well, that's all.
Happy Monday!

Wing Commander> Okay, I *will* comment on this now. I, for one, did NOT go in expecting much of a plot or great character development. The previews didn't seem to point in that direction anyway. Consequently, I thought the film was all right, although Rosie's fate really irritated me--she and Maniac were a lot more believable than Blair and Angel--and the cliche ending. But you know, I came into it expecting a lot of cliches, so I wasn't overly disappointed myself.
Either way, I'm going to see "Analyze This" on Wednesday night, so my movie catch-up won't be all that bad.
**END SPOILERS**
Haven't visited the GFW archive since it takes forever to load on this baby. I hope the problems are cleared up soon.
Must be going...in search of Sudafed. First it snows, then it's going to get up to 70 degrees by Thursday. This fickle weather is hell on my allergies. :)

Hi you all, today is going to be a wonderful day without school and parents and so I have enough time to present my first „Mr.Disconnect Death“.
Traveller: Thanks for the inspiration, you know this was realy a cruel one. But otherwise I think I have to try one by myself so her it comes:
*****Mr.Disconnects Death ( because he is a veerrrryyyy unlovely person)*****
Mr. Disconnect walks singing along an empty road. Suddenly there appeared an angry screaming crowd around a corner.
„YOU’D KILLED OUR SERVERS AND CRASHED OUR NET-ACCESS. NOW WE GONNA KILL YOU FOR THIS“
Mr. Disconnect stands there for a moment, wondering whats going on. But after he heared the raging crowd he turned around and started to run. But outside of nowhere appeared a a young woman with a furios facial expression and a really big cross-bow in her hands.
„You drove my whole family mad, let crash my server down and download only half pages. NOW I’M GONNA KILL YOU!“
Then she loaded her weapon and larded him with several bolts so that he was nailed to the ground.
„KILL HIM, KILL HIM!“ the angry crowd cried and Mr. Disconnect started crying. So the young woman kneeled beside him and put large matchsticks between his toes and fingers. Afterwards she fired them and watched the burning limbs.
„Mercy, mercy!“ Mr.Disconnect screamed all the time and as he swooned she waked him with a bucket of acid, so that he smoked all over his body. As he was nearly death she smeared him with his own blood and sat down near him. Short time later appeared some small bats upon the sky. They landed and started to bite small pieces out of Mr. Disconnect. And because they ate only few of his flesh he never died real, but ever was to week to free himself and so the bats eat of him and he will suffer until the end of time...
******End Mr. Disconnect Death (or something nearly close to)******
Would like to know if it was Ok so, or should I change something?
Star Wars: I’ve seen the trailer now and it was great, althought it was in English. Great effects and it seems to be a good story too. You’ve seen Jabba again and I would like to know if there are other persons from the other parts too, althought they have to be a lot younger then, thought.
*****Spoiler/comment new TD ep****
After all this veerryyy important things around in tgs it was nice to see some sort of a minor ep. No, it’s not meaned bad, I only mean there aren’t a lot of fay or gods, good and evil, around and Brook and Sata haven’t to save the world every ten minutes. I think it was a good pause for them (and us) with all this trouble, although it was a fine ep of the important subject of betrayel and friendship and it handled it very well, I think.
*****End Spoiler/comment new TD ep****
That’s all for now, I think. See ya.

Bronx Wyvern: Stuffed Bronxes?? What company made them? (You found yours at Toys R Us?) Did they do any other gargoyles characters besides Bronx?
Jackal: I'd seriously advise against taking anything like Prozac without a prescription. It's f***in' dangerous and where would your kids be without you? You ought to go to a doc and see what you really need...I mean, we've got Demerol and morphine in our medicine cabinet but I don't CARE how much my guts hurt, I'm NOT gonna screw around with that stuff without asking a medical professional! Take care of yourself.
In other news, I now have an Illuminati link up to "everything you wanted to know about the Bavarian Illuminati but would have been shot for asking." ;-)

Todd: *laughs* You said it, not me ;) It’s a bit harsh I suppose, but I’d just rather the episodes of similar time periods were more random.
JEB: Me too.
Robby: You forgot Aziz, who was far more fun than Miraj and Jafar.
Sevarius Jr: With which Shining Force? I don’t really remember Max’s crew apart from the whole Dark Dragon thing was rather boring. The Shining Force II universe is fairly enclosed, but you could do loads in the Shining Force III area. I often wondered what would happen if the Four of Bulzome popped by to the Eyrie Building! :) Are the Seelie/Unseelie like Innovators/Vandals? Hm...
Kyryn: Yeah, I know, it just seems longer because really it’s six weeks. And by rights the Ancient Egypt S&S bits belong with season one as that’s their chronological positioning. Still, I guess the Timedancers have been elsewhere between episodes.
Whinge: That Text site is horrifically slow. I never actually loaded the complete thing from it, despite all that time waiting… *grumbles* Two reloads, then the computer crashed and a further three attempts at loading it that then terminated. Then I noticed the new one was up. *sigh*
***SPOILERS FOR THE ‘THE LONGEST DAY PART TWO’***
Excellent stuff! Fascinating Demona stuff, and lots of other nice goodies in there. The build up cycling through key Demona turning points was lovely as well- very tense and dramatic! Top stuff, guys!

Wing Commander- We expected a plot because the games and show had one. Ah well... I had a post right before the room cleared, I don't feel like retyping it. Just hit the "Last Weeks CR" button. Its right near the top.
Wierd, I declared before hand I would take fifth after the room cleared, and I landed that spot in both CR's. Strange.
**Walks out humming "Hakuna Matata"** (Click, but don't be surprised if it doesn't work. This is the first time I've tried a CR link to this particular page.)

BRIAN - Don't worry, I haven't seen WC yet, but it looks good to me! And as far as the general cocensus is concerned - What were you expecting? Shakespear??? It's an ACTION flick! No plot need be required! It's brain candy!
Sheesh! you want good acting? Go watch "October Sky"! You want a plot? Read a book! I'm so sick of people applying high expectations to a film that was obviously made so people can go out and just veg in a theater and have FUN!
<smacks self!> Sorry for the rant...
Anyway, Maitain and Check Six!

RAVYN-- Never lose all hope. You shall find a way to return to us. In the meantime, We'll keep a seat warm for you.

KITAINIA-- That was a pic taken for my yearbook, senior year.
WING COMMANDER-- Why is it I'm one of the few that liked it <:)
OLD PIC OF ME IRL-- It just looked too... freaky. I couldn't stand looking at it.

Oops, I didn't post that message in here last week. But I did post it in the other CR. Sorry for the confusion.
I'm also getting a 404 Not Found when I try to call up the new episode. DumlaoX, what is going on? Wait a minute, I bet who knows. <cocks shotgun, heads off to find DC>
Also- FIRST!

So who's to blame forthe late wipe and very late p[ost of the new episode?
Compaq
It seems that my computer loves to freeze up on me a lot due to the proverbial sleep sequence Compaq installed on my computer. Normally I just kick the damn machine to make it work. This time, however, the thing stayed frozen. I shut the thing down and when I booted it back up, data was missing on the drive. So... I had to install everything all over again. If you've ever done this before, you know how long that takes. That's why nothing was done till now & I couldn't contact you for very long. I had to phone up a friend of mine in CalArts to ask them to tell all of you that things would be late.
Apologize for the delay.

Quick Question-
Did anyone see this last week? If not, here it is again.
Thomas Revor has my thanks for getting the archive back up. However, I am still getting the following message whenever I try to add those two stories of mine that the archive lost when it went down:
Warning: fopen("/web/fanfic/htdocs/authors/delder/olympus.htm","w") Permission denied in
/web/fanfic/htdocs/secure/addnew.phtml on line 18
Thank you!
Your story has been added.
Click here to return to the previous page.
Of course, it hasn't been added. When I call up the story's file to make sure it went through, I get a message that says "I'm sorry, this file seems to be missing. Please notify the webmaster." And yes, I do still get the same deal even after I delete the original story file from the database. I do not know WHAT is going on here. If you, Chris, and the other GFW admins could please look into the problem, I'd be really grateful. Thanks.
BTW, is anyone else getting a problem similar to this one when they try to upload new copies of lost stories? Just trying to gauge the problem's impact and extent.
Hope it gets fixed soon. Now, I'm off to read the new episode. Later,
Doug Elder

One decision could change everything… but can Demona make the right choice?
