Hmm, it seems that the room ain't going down and I could have made a decent post last night. Ah well... Since everyone is avoiding the room on the assumption that it's shut down for the weekend, there isn't much to talk about save the possibility of a flame war I want to avoid... The room will probably be cleared and wiped around the normal time tommarrow night, if not a bit earlier. Its going to be my first time to post an episode and clear the room, and there's no telling how well my computer or I will accomplish this. SO if things get funky tommarrow night around midnight, you'll understand why.

Incidentally, the room is at like 650 something K. And thats in text-only. Mega new record.

I haven't used this pic since...forever! I guess I'm in a good mood today, as always :) I have almost no homework, and I just spent all my mom's money on clothes... but it's her fault cause she let me.

Deuce> You're welcome. What do you need it for?

Lawrence> I'm so very sorry. I meant to wish you a happy birthday. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope all your wishes come true!

Deuce> <<You're not a people person, are you?>>
Unfortunately it seems I'm not. I *do* respect other people - both people I don't know and people I consider friends, it's just that I often rush to judge others too quickly. And I do still think that Ironwolf insulted me first when I only said that I thought he was out of line - but "He did it first" is a childish excuse for me to make, so consider it unspoken. In fact I'd have no problem with the deletion of all my ironwolf-related messages.

I'm worried to see that over the last couple months I've (butted heads) with several people - Jackal, Sevarius JR and now Ironwolf - perhaps with more. In the second case I've accepted my portion of the guilt, in the first and the third I still consider myself on the right. But anyway it seems I'm too quick to fight and I'll have to remedy that. Perhaps I'll withdraw somewhat from this room or something and cool off...

I'll check the site you gave later on...

Oh, yeah, the room sure is going down.... Oy.... Netscape _and_ IE are all wonky, so here I am using Opera... again....

I saw The Matrix last night. *long pause* Wow. That's all I can say. That was the most ——ing intense movie I have _ever_ seen, and it might even be the best I've ever seen. If you haven't seen it, do so. Now. If you have, I'd love to discuss it.

SOROW> Thanks for the address. :-)

Lady Arianna> Congratulations on your academic success. I wound up going from a 33% in Social Studies 9 to an 80% in Social 10 this year. Quite pleased at that, even though my school has no advanced, honours, or International Baccelauriate(sp?) programs.

Britany Spears> The girl _needs_ breast implants? That's news to me. Like I've said, it's not size: it's the proportions. Hers were just fine.

Aris> ["And I actually tend to want to go around looking like someone who respects other people."] You go from completely Glenn Duncan*-style insulting Ironwolf to saying this. *laughs* You're not a people person, are you? Anyway, I agree that you should drop this. It _was_ a misunderstanding, you leapt on the opportunity to insult somebody, and now it's over.

Seems to me that archiving this wasn't neccessary. Oh, well. Robby will be doing the wipe and post tomorrow night, barring any massive technical difficulties. (If the room _does_ go down, I'm not sure what will be happening).

*Glenn Duncan is the hilarious webmaster of www.download.net, and he puts out a newsletter every once in a while... ah, hell, just go there and see for yourself. (Attached to my name).

Ironwolf> You may want a flamewar but I don't. So this is once again my final post in this matter. Flame as much as you want, I won't reply back.

<<*I'm not the one who'd cut off bodily parts before going into bed with said singers*
No has heard of the old expression I cut off my left arm for her I take it? >>

'No' may have heard the expression and "I" have certainly heard it. I may have even said it once or twice for girls I had a crush for. But not for celebrities whose body is their only attribute I admire. And certainly not for four people whose name I don't even remember and who I only know with the adorable name of 'chick'. Let me remind you of the people you'd give bodily parts for:
"1 jewel
2 I’m lousy with names so the chick from desperado
3 chick from Zoro
4. chick from all the Kevin smith movies
5 any girl with dark hair and light eyes and a smart a$$ attitude, or john cussak’s sister "

<<*Some people have not even heard of Brinteny spears.*
You didn’t pick up a clue since most of the cr is talking about her?>>

Yes. Now. But at the time you and I posted, only a couple of people had mentioned it and the posts were mainly concerned on whether she had implants or not. And I don't have the time to read all the posts.

Moreover the only place where you referred to her was the following sentence:
"Britney spears> she’s cute nice bubble gum rock but she ain’t no jewel!!!!!"

I was unable to understand the phrase "cute nice bubble gum rock" but it didn't seem to refer to a comparison of musical talents. I've gone up to 'Proficiency' in learning English but I was incapable of deciphering the above. Apologies.

<<*And I actually tend to want to go around looking like someone who respects other people.*

You failed that the moment you posted with out thinking first. You and only you accused me of something with out asking for more info. >>

I had all the info I required. You referred to our jewel in your post: "there was or were a series of stories written by i think some one named jewel about 2 humans becoming gargs and joining the clan. Dose this ring any bells??"

I contemplated the possibility you were referring to two different Jewels but considered it small. But that doubt of mine was enough to only say to make my post milder so that I only said: "I think you are out of line or something... " instead of accusing you as a cyberstalker. It seems that this was way too offensive for you.

In comparison you attacked me with: "shesh get a clue or a life. Do yall really go around looking like idiots all the time or did you just start. " among other things. To which I reply I'm not the one who calls women as 'chicks' or wants to go to bed with women whose name I don't even remember.

<<*Idiocy and intelligence are secondary to that*
Yea I can tell that’s true for you.
Sorry but people like that just piss me off.>>

Same here, my gasoline-drinking name-forgetting friend.

I also apologise to the comment room. My misunderstanding of the double meaning of the name 'Jewel' in ironwolf's posts caused a couple of flames that would be better if they had never existed. As I said I'll not post on the subject again.

Ironwolf> <<You know I thought about being an A$$ and not saying who I was referring to but some people Actually have some brains and realized I was talking about the singer;>>

Some people Actually had memories and remembered you referred to Jewel the fanfic writer in the very previous post. Some people Actually thought you'd be consistent and they Actually thought you wouldn't refer to two people with the same name without trying to differentiate them.

And some people Actually haven't heard of any Jewel the singer (not counting ofcourse the fact that Jewel the fanfic writer can also sing as she has numerous times said). Those people are not from the U.S.

<<since I Compare her and brinteny spears music a couple of lines down.>>

Some people have not even heard of Brinteny spears. That not-from-the-US thing once again.

<<Shesh get a clue or a life. Do yall really go around looking like idiots all the time or did you just start.>>

I'm not the one who'd cut off bodily parts *before* going into bed with said singers. And I actually tend to want to go around looking like someone who respects other people. Idiocy and intelligence are secondary to that.

**QUICK POST BEFORE THE *REAL* SHUTDOWN, IF THERE'S GOING TO BE ONE THIS TIME**

I just got the Vampire: The Masquerade sourcebook (WW-2300 if y'all must know), mostly from curiosity as to what many of you are babbling about. :) It's incredibly kewl...and it makes mention of Fey and sentient gargoyles, so it's practically a Gargs crossover right there. The Kindred obviously aren't the same thing as Madoc's Vampyres, but they're much kewler. The various vampire powers are interesting, and will probably be used for inspiration when I write for Halflings and Fey. And..anyone who has this book, take a look at Page 78 after a quick visit to my site. <cue Twilight Zone theme>

Just a quick note:

Kitainia, don't worry about it. I looked back and realized that post was mis-adressed anyway. It wasn't for you in the first place. I'll make a larger post later to explain the details of the primary reasoning in my theory, however, because everybody is missing it. It has nothing to do with religious belief (directly), and everything to do with science.

Well, I could tell you without needing a degree: the show rocks :) That's great, Jeb. Have everyone write to Disney, begging for the show back. Maybe the USA poll will make the mouse think twice...

*sigh* Tried to go to bed two hours ago and still can't sleep with this cold. So, some ramblings. :)

5 People I Obsess Over (in no particular order):

1) Kristian Schmid--Australian actor from "The Tomorrow People, better known to my hall as "the guy on Mandi's door."
2) Me--Hey, I'm overly self-conscious sometimes.
3) Barbara Kingsolver--I'm still trying to find what else she's written aside from "Animal Dreams," "Pigs in Heaven," and "The Bean Trees." Since I keep forgetting to send for Christine's book (sorry, Christine!) she's currently my favorite author.
4) My creative writing professor--Mainly because all of her students are worried about her. She waited til the semester was over to let the department know she was pregnant since she just started last semester and didn't want them to find another excuse to let her go. (I know it's illegal, but her predecessor was let go after one year for no apparent reason.) Anyway, she's advising the literary magazine and is signed up to teach American Novel next semester (I don't know how with a 3-month old baby, but that's the English department for you), so hopefully she won't suffer the same fate.

Number 5...I know I'm going to get blasted for this one.

5)Austin St. John--He couldn't really act (I should talk), but he was nice to look at. (If you don't know what he used to be on, take a wild guess.)

**BUFFY SPOILERS (KIND OF)**

Okay, I checked out the TV Guide website. On April 27, there will finally be a new episode, "Earshot." According to the TV Guide summary: "Buffy's nearly driven mad when she gains the power to read everyone's mind and can't shut it off, while Giles and the gang take over to stop a mass murderer." That's all I know.

**END SPOILERS**

Now I'm feeling sleepy. *sniffle* I'm going to try again. Night all!

No RP tonight. Not much of a post as is.

To any Vampire: The Masquerade fans in the Room: I found a neat site today that combines V:tM with Gargoyles! Actually, the site is more focused on a New York city under the control of the various clans, but they do list as supporting characters the Gargoyles (some of whom are actually controlled by the Tremere!), Xanatos, Chavez, Elisa and Matt, and "a few immortals for the gathering". Kinda cool. If you're interested, click on my name to check it out.

Ouija Boards and Psychic stuff: As of late I've been reading a lot of occult-related stuff, including some books on ceremonial magic and a few works by the great Colin Wilson (his book "The Occult" is quite good), and the basic message they give you is that magic can work ONLY if you believe in it. Apperently, according to popular thought, we all have psychic abilities in ourselves (which can manifest in numerous ways, including spirits); Wilson refers to them as "Factor X". That's kind of the message with Satanism, also; you, yourself, are the source of power. You can harm people if you simply wish it hard enough ("negative engergies" I guess); in his autobiography, Marilyn Manson mentions certain instances of such occurences. So, essentially, if a ouija board works, it's cause you WANT it to work. Something about your psychic energies activating it. Still though, I don't buy into it. I've read many a book on magic, and none of them say that talking to spirits is as easy as a little board with the alphabet written on it. I've had friends that have said all that B.S. about "dude, my sister tried that! She told the spirit to make her stiff as a board, and things went wrong, and it broke her arm! F-in' freaky dude!" and other stories. I may believe in spirits and such, but I also believe that if you *don't* want them bothering you, they're not gonna do jack, cause they're either a) figments of your imagination or b) dead, and thereby have no real power on earth except maybe to go bump in the night. Still, I wouldn't exactly be trying to pull off any black masses, cause that'd probably be pushing things a little.

Gabriel: Hey, are you a Tad Williams fan? I've just recently started his Otherland series, and it's pretty cool so far.

JEB: Britney Spears is the latest bubblegum pop star to hit American culture. The whole reason that she's so dern popular is because she's a 17 yr. old with the body of a 25 yr. old, if you catch my drift *wink, wink*. She's jailbait numero uno!!

Quickie post...

Call me dumb, but who in the universe is Britney Spears?

Kitania> Good luck to you. :)

City of Stone in class> Mixed responses on this, but overall very positive. :)

We watched Parts 1 and 2 on Thursday- the 1st period class got bored and watched something else, but about half my period's class watched and liked it. There was a sub in there who decided he didn't like the show, and mocked it- I ignored him, despite the strong temptation to set him straight. However, by class's end, he was rather quiet. Maybe it was the mental daggers I was shooting at him, I dunno.

Today was better- while 1st period refused to watch it (their loss), 2nd period- a completely different class- was delighted when they learned Gargoyles was available for watching, and begged my teacher to show it. That was kewl to know. :)

Anyway, half the class we worked, the other half we watched some of Part 3. Most of the class watched this time, and were rather interested. :)

I also discovered a few other closet Gargoyles fans in class.

Overall, this has been really really kewl. :) Now, to see how Monday goes...

*Lady Arianna melts out of the shadows.*
Hi, all.
Lord, it's been awhile since I made it here. I hate school. I just hate it. It takes up so much time. But once in awhile (like when I found out...I MADE AP ENGLISH!!! AND AP FRENCH!!!), it's fun. So I forgive my teachers for being cruel and insensitive. Especially my history teacher, who went off on a tangent about how we all expect everything to be handed to us, and some of us will go to good colleges based on the fact that some of our parents work there and not our merit...I was so annoyed. But anyway, I'm back.

Didn't have much time to read the room though. I saw that some people were talking about time travel earlier. My mother and I had a huge discussion about fore-knowledge versus fore-ordaining as it relates specifically to God, Scripture, and Judas. It was really wierd. It started out about Godspell, then mutated to me thinking that Judas had to betray Jesus because "it was written", and my mother saying that it didn't have to be that way...it reminded me of when I tried to explain "Vows" to my mother. And then I tried to explain time paradoxes and why the past is unchangeable. Bad Idea.

ON a gargoyles related note...I actually re-watched MIA the other day. That is the best episode.

TGS> "Homecoming"> I loved it. It was so good. I was in a bad mood when I started reading it, and it just made much happier. It was wonderful.

Okay, so I was really random today. Just wanted to stop by and say "HI!" Of course, I can't say "HI!" without making other comments. That's where the randomness came in. I'll be back when I finish reading the room. I have so much to catch up on...
Later!

Oh, I've been wanting to show this to you guys for a few days; never got to posting it until now :)

Speaking of a silly moment, this little creativity demon came to me during a Chemistry Honors lab today. I got to thinking of Demona's past relationship with Nostradamus and ... well, let's just say I've been baby-sitting way, WAY too much and now I'm hooked on HISTERIA!

I show it to you now for your enjoyment ...

*Demona is peering into a large, swelling, black cauldron, bubbling over it's rim with a gooey green liquid. She throws a fistful of a sparkling powder into the mixture, sending blue flames into the air. The liquid twists, froths back and forth, and congeals. A strange picture starts to form in its milky depths...*

Demona: I call on the one who can answer my questions, Michel Nostradamus.

*the form darkens, taking on a human shape, and suddenly a big nosed, googly eyed, spiky orange haired cartoony guy with a magician's hat and huge teeth stares back up at her*

Weird, whiny, high-pitched voice:
Hello, and welcome to the afterlife! Nostradamus speaking, here to assist you with all your questions! Thank you very muuuuuuch for dialing here instead of that 1800-Pyshic! We're the REAL professional idiots! I had a kooky feeeeeeeee-ling I'd get a call, and I was right ... oh-wee, it's my good old friend, Demona! So, how's Life treating you? Oy-voy, it hasn't been very good for me, no siree! One trip to Mexico, drink the water, look what happens. I should have seen it all coming, yes siree! *form in the cauldron blurs suddenly* Oy-voy, hold on, darn browser... I predict we'll be disconnected any second now... hey, I was right!- *disconnects*

*Demona blinks as the cauldron's liquid flashes white then black like a TV turning off. She kicks it angrily*

Demona: *snarls and cleaves the cauldron in two with her mace* Last time I use AOL ...

*snickers* I'm going to illustrate this once my scanner gets hooked up to this computer... :)

FIVE PPL I'M HOOKED ON:

1. Emrys
(I always dig guys who aren't too immature ... a 1500 year old teenager would be interesting :) And he doesn't look too bad neither)
2. Hadji, from The New Adventures of Johny Quest.
3. Dick Grayson, from the Batman Animated Series
4. Dmitri, from Anastasia
5. Tom Cruise
(he'll leave Nicole Kidman and come for me someday, just you wait :) He was awesome in Inteview with the Vampire... thought I'll admit the fact that he sucked blood was a bit of a turn off. But, hey, that's okay! :D)

Deuce< *ROTFLMAO* I haven't seen that one, yet, I'm sorry to say!!! :D I don't think that commercial's around much in the New York Tri-state area where I live. But I've seen real weird commercials. For the ... lessee ... I think it was the Superbowl last year... it showed three women in three different households all looking for their husbands. They found stuffed jeans protruding from beneath either the kitchen sink or the car in the garage, and banging noises (from a hidden tape recorder) like their husbands were underneath and working away. The third guy was a real idiot and had put the stuffed dummy underneath the lawn mower along with the banging, so it immediately tipped his wife off :) Meanwhile, the three guys are all in hiding in front of a TV and chugging beer. It's more funny if you see it than if I tell you; it's a visual gag :)

OUIJA BOARDS< *shudders*

*Origin of the Ouija board* (I'm starting to sound a bit like Todd here :D)

The name of the Ouija board came from the words for 'yes' in both German and French. The boards themselves have been around for a long while; I've never been able to find a real early link to where they originated. I'm still looking...

Wow, you guys are awesome :) I'd be careful; one trick I've learned is, if you use an Ouija board, protect yourself. Never tell a spirit to do a trick or make something levitate to prove it's presence; that gives it power to cross over to this side, and then you might have a houseguest that trickier to get rid of than your relatives during an overextended Christmas visit. *yikes!*

OUIJA BOARDS AND GHOSTS< For you paranormal/X-Files/Ouija board lovers, go here, to O'Neill's ghost website. It curently has over 250+ true ghost stories submitted by your average Joe :) Be forewarned, some of them have kept me up late, afraid to sleep, or at least not without the bedcovers over my head.

ED< **lol* at the Loki scenario, until she gets to the part about the lemurs* *looks nervous* Another trip to the vet for me, I guess ...

Glad to hear you enjoyed it :)

*LOL at the zoot suits!!!* If Joe shows up in one of those at the dance tomorrow, I'll die laughing.

Britney Spears breast implants< This is a joke, right? *shudders* When I saw her video for the first time, I seriously thought was like 25 ... she don't look 17.

JENNIREN<<< I found an interesting website at http://www.luminarium.org/mythology/ireland/
In the Mythology section of this webpage is a link for an "A to Z of
Ancient Ireland" which is a sort of dictionary.>>

Thanks much! I love cruising these kind of sites. I have one for you, too... http://www.pantheon.org/

KITANIA< Good luck meeting Doug's dad. I always get nervous meeting other people's folks for the first time. You'll be fine :)

JENNIREN< Etolie's name was a originally "Etoile" a French word meaning "Star". It was mispelled in the outline and came out in the story as "Etolie" instead.

>Gabriel walks in, looks around and found out that she stayed to long away<

Well, I know it is a little bit late but it is something i have to say so at first I want to say sorry if I have sound like I want to enjoin my opinion about Kosovo, but this is a theme that stirs me and speak english not very well, so it sounds perhaps a little bit overstate.

Where I have my infos from: I have them from n-TV, this is the german equivalent to CNN and I think they cooperate too. In a few discussions there was said by some politicans that after §8 of the peace teaty of Rambouillet Milosovic has to give NATO forces freedom of movement all over Yugoslavia not only Kosovo and it was also said that only NATO forces should set in for the observation of the area. That Milosovic would have accepted UNO or OSCE observers had I said before. All these facts were confirmes by Brussels but I wonder that I have heard it only by some politicans and some TV-transmitter.

favorite Unseelie character?: of course Umbriel, because he is this typical hero-on-the-wrong-side scheme.

Insanity: 76.3636363636364% insane and poud of it, althought I can’t find something crazy in speaking to plants or eat icecream with a fork.

Traveller and Heater: You are Rammstein fans? I like them too, espially „Du riechst so gut“ but I haven’t get the chance to see them live until now.

Serenity, polls: 1. I think I wouldn’t join neither PIT nor the Quarryman at first, because I am one of these people who can’t ever decide for one side but after a while, maybe PIT would be my choice, because of an affection for an alien, strange new race with close connections to several (non-tgs) stories I have read. It’s like these people waiting on the empire state building for aliens in ID4, or the pro-vampire sect out of Buffy althought I would hope Gargoyles aren’t that bad. It’s a sort of romanticism I think.
2. I think I would be scared by all of them, and, well, you know Brook does look like a devil, but if I have a choice I would like to be saved by him.

Oberon and gods: i think the reasons why Oberon never(?) was a god to mankind is, that he don’t care about them. He didn’t cared as he destroyed Atlantis and he won’t care if he decided to face Madoc and destroy NY. So why should he want to be god to a race he nearly ignore? In his sight only fay-power count, so what could be better then to be their king? And I think that he even wasn’t interested in the ones of his kind who were a god for any people and so he hasn’t controlled their doings with these people. Titania on the other hand cares about mankind and I think more than one time she had used it for her aim.

Mythology and Theology: I don’t think they are so very different. Only that Theology means you have to believe in something like a god and Mythology means that there were people who believed in something like a god. Look at the celtic myths: they were once very important for the celts, they have believed in them, they have lived with them, you can say they were there Theology and today, after there aren’t no more people believing in this it all becomes a myth. I think the believing makes it. I am atheist and so I don’t believe in any god but the celtic as the christian theology is mythology for me.

five people I'm obsessed with: 1. Sebastian, my boyfriend, who sits besides me and watches me writing
2. Jiriki out of Tad Williams Sword-cycle (Osten Ard-triology)
3. my sister, because she is the loveliest and friendliest person I ever have known
4. sky-wise out of elfquest, because he is one of the most interesting imaginations and elfquest is my fave comic
5. the one who ever kicked down B5 and crusade because I would like to kicked him myself

Firestorm:>what does the Water Fae use?< I had an even problem with one of my storys and I have decided to give the sapphire the water-power. But if you want to have metals I would do it so: iron- earth; silver- sky; cobalt- water

Happy birthday to all I missed!!
Welcome to all new ones I missed!!

Knows anybody Ordeysia here? (S)he has wrote some fan-fics on the main page.

Doug: I’ ve read Slayer Senshi and I really enjoyed it, althought it was a little bit difficult with all the new persons if you haven’t read your other storys, I think.

BTW, does anybody knows what happens to the quote page? I still have a pic which could be used, but I don’t know what to do with it or if there is still somebody who cares about.

***SPOILER***
In "From the Heart" Demona is trying to get her daughter Angela to understand what her life had been like. So she writes a book telling some of the events in her life and sends it to Angela. Angela reads the book and learns how Demona met the French clan back during the French Revolution.

***TIMEDANCER COMMENTS AND SPOILERS- ‘TO THE SOUL’***

(Last time I did something like this I had a bit of fun, so here we go again. ;) Only slightly different…)

Inside the Phoenix Gate, Loki bounced absently against the golden walls. His grumble echoed around the dingy confined area as it rose to a screaming, the words, “bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, BORED!” being repeated over and over again.

An idea struck him, and he squeezed his fist into a ball. Upon opening it, a pinprick of light rested in the creases of his hand; it then grew until in a flash of light, it was replaced by a computer.

“Right then,” Loki ordered the computer. “I’ll be wanting a TGS episode please. One that has some interesting links to previous tales. And give it some nice dramatic scenes. Oh, and a cliffhanger- must have a cliffhanger. And good writing too, that’s a must! And a great illustration.”

“Your wish is my command,” the computer whirred in reply, before a cluster of text filtered down the screen.

Loki created a skull-shaped cushion beneath him, and sat down on it to read. After finishing reading it, he fixed the computer with a savage glare.

“All OK, Loki?” the computer whirred nervously.

“It’s just what I’d asked for, plus some lovely writing apart from the odd slangy phrase, and a plot to die for. Although bad guys seem rather lacking, but of course next to me they just can’t compete.”

The computer whirred a relieved sigh.

“Apart from one little problem,” Loki concluded. The calm expression on the Unseelie trickster’s face spelled trouble- the computer saw this and quaked. “It’s got that useless, stinking beak freak; it’s bad enough, that I have to be lugged around with him, trapped in this pittance living space and putting up with the horrific smell of dust and his body odour, but now you give me Timedancer?”

The computer quivered, but it was too late; Loki had a fireball form at his feet, and then forced himself to the back of the Gate. Shouting, “he shoots, he scores!” he kicked the fireball straight into the computer.

“And now just to give my thanks to those responsible for their efforts,” Loki cackled.

One week later, Loki flicked through the 'Timedancing News'. ‘TGS has found two black and white lemurs’ read the headline. Then as a subheading, ‘Two TGS staffers still missing’. Loki chuckled quietly to himself, playing a skull on a string like a yo-yo.

(NOTE: The views held here are only my own in paragraph three and seven; I don’t have such a drastic hatred of Timedancer ;). As a rating I’d give this a 7/10 – it would get an extra half but halves seem to be a strange way of approaching marks out of 20.)

<<ouija boards and psychic stuff is pure BS. I mean, if those women on the phone were *really* psychic, they would've warned Dionne Warwick about what was going to happen to her career ...>>
Hehehehe. True, but a REAL psychic is not suppose to reveal the future, only give shallow clues to what is going to happen, I'm not sayin TV psycs are real..., just sayin..., Now the Ouija, I hold dear to my heart. You can't sit and expect something to happen, despite the maker's claims, it is not a game. There's alot to be understood before the ouija can be used properly. (I've been trained, I know. For instance, don't expect the spirit you're in contact with to know the future and never ask any person questions, unless you're absolutely sure you want the answer, then again you can have a lair and it won't really matter). So I'm a satanic freak!!!! Sue me!! hehehehee

Zoot suit Tuxedoes> I can believe it. When me and my fiancee' were planning our wedding I found a show on the Learning Channel called Wedding Story. Some people were pretty creative. My favorite was the two marine biologists who got married in an aquarium. But there were others, like the actress and director that had a wedding, like a play, with playbill programs and everything.

Villians> Personally, I like the cold calculating villans. Madoc first season was okay, but once he started getting egotistical I just threw up my hands. The kind of villians I like have read "Foiled No More" (You have to read Broadway Goes Hollywood: The Musical) If the hero is to win, it should be for his virtues not the villians faults. But another factor is expectation. I expect big things to happen when Xanatos gets into the fray, or Tail Spin's Shere Khan. The 'don't mess with me' type of villian. I know I'm biased by my favorite villians are Harthoth, Apep and Isfet. Harthoth for intelligence, Apep for power and Isfet for sear bloodlust.

Religious figures in fanfics> When I do, I try and keep an even hand. Put stress on the word 'try'. Normally, I don't use them, because I like stories with dilemma. Jesus is an interesting storyteller, but not conflict going on. Having the thrid race as every mythological deity, does cause problems, but as I like to see, problems are potential stories. How do you reconcile what you believe with what you know. Is faith just a mental blindfold people put on to avoid an unpleasent truth? Those types of questions that spring stories within me. But that's just me.

***** BEGIN 1st HALF RP *****

[Scene opens in the skies over Nebraska, as a heavily modified SR-71 "Blackbird" supersonic jet rockets through the clouds... and what makes this odd is the fact this jet has the words "Big Bird" ingrained on its radar-absorbent fuselage.]

Inside the modified cockpit, a silver-haired female with pointed ears and violet eyes checks the readout on the jet's NAVACOM, as she brings "Big Bird" lower to the ground.

"Dang! Jake said to look for that vehicle ovef here... but something's screwin' with the sensors!"

The readout shows an area below, but something is seriously glitching the readings.

"Still, this was the last fix I had before the sensors went to pot," she sighs. "Best I can do is land and see what's what."

Switching the controls over, Jess brings the jet in lower, a series of VTOL-jets slowing its descent to a rolling hover. Glancing out of the cockpit, she notices the wreck of a jeep, as well as what looks like the remains of the aftermath of a very bloody battle.

"Eww! Jake wasn't kidding!" Jess shakes herself. "Sure hope whoever those goons were chasing got away. But... I'd better make sure."

Eventually, the jet makes a soft landing just a few feet away from the edge of the carnage. As the engines idle, Jess pops out from an auxillary hatch, clutching a modified MP-5 as she surveys the remains of the 'loths.

"Phew! Not much left here to make a decent lich or something," she comments, picking her way through the remains. "Wonder what did this?"

Just then, a bite-marked, bloody hand snaps out from one of the piles of offal, gripping Jess around her near ankle...

***** PAUSE RP *****

DOUG/KIT - Congrats on not owing the IRS this time around. I got screwed over again (no thanks to my former employer) and ended up having to pay again. But not as bad as last year. I only had to pay 23 dollars and change.

Hope to see you two at the Gathering! Get your registration in ASAP, since I want to see you two at the Dinner Saturday night.

CHRISTINE (Re: BECCA): Aww, to use the Japanese term: "SO KAWAII!!!!" And my wife was laughing and going awwww at Becca doing the opening recital! She's going to be a heartbreaker at the Costume Ball.

NEWCOMERS: Greetings all! Hope you like it here!

CAROLYNN: Cool! Hope your date at the dance goes good for you! Everyone should have at least one formal dance where they have the time of their lives...

A LITTLE FUN THING: I was flipping through a recent mailer, and I saw an ad for one of the Formal Wear shops here in Spokane... get this! They now have "Zoot Suit Tuxedos"! Can you believe that?!?

RECENT TD EP: Just a quick comment - Dang! That's good!

And with that said and done...

***** RESUME RP *****

[Scene switches to the Ravens Convoy, now Halfway across Iowa...]

As the Onslaught barrels on, Jake and Cobra are still riding shotgun on their bikes. Suddenly, something on the guage panel on Sara-Jane flickers.

Cobra looks over at the light. "What's that?"

Jake frowns. "It's trouble... and it's close." He looks around for a moment, before his gaze fixes on a flash of metal-reflecting light; a ways off from the road. "That's not good. I'm going to check it out!"

"I'll come with you!" Cobra offers.

Jake waves him off. "Stay with the truck. It might be nothing, so there's no sense in both of us going; especially when those goons can attack the convoy again," he explains. "I'll be back in five minutes!"

Over the sudden roar of Sara-Jane's thrusters, Cobra shouts, "And if you're not back in five?"

Jake replies, "Just wait longer!" Gunning the throttle, Big Jake peels off from the convoy, racing towards the distant object he saw. Taking a moment to double check his weapons, he mutters, "If it's who I think it is... it just got worse!"

[Scene closes as Sara-Jane crests a hill, then dissapears over the side in a cloud of dust.]

The venting first: Well, the head cold moved down into my chest, and it got so bad I had to call in sick at my community service site today. And there's no one in the Health Center (aka the Voodoo Hut) to help me! The weekend's not over yet, and I'd like to be able to breathe!

Now the happy news. Room selection ended last night, and next year I will get a double-occupancy room to myself, in the non-smoking wing, on the same floor as the laundry room, quad side, with a metal (read: not the rotting-out wooden doors they're only going to replace when they fall off their hinges) door! Yes!!!

**END VENTING AND CHEERING**

Okay, I think I really need to lie down, but all this talk of Buffy and then Robby's music selection reminded me of a crossover on Slayerfanfic.com you might all enjoy. I don't think the author is ever going to finish, but what he has posted is a riot!

I found an interesting website at http://www.luminarium.org/mythology/ireland/
In the Mythology section of this webpage is a link for an "A to Z of
Ancient Ireland" which is a sort of dictionary. Of special interest to me were the entries for Anu (another name for Danu who is Oberon's and Madoc's mama in TGS -see The Rising) and the entry for Leprechaun (in which it is discussed how the Irish Sun god Lugh was demoted to being a mere leprechaun). The "A to Z" isn't very complete, but most of the longer entries contain information not found under individual headings and the author has quite a nasty sense of humor at times.
There is another link for "Children of Danu", also in the Mythology section. One of the gods who is mentioned is "Midir the Proud...the Gaelic God of the Underworld, Lord of Death and Resurrection." Remind you of anyone?

**jogs in, changing out the candle and lighting the new one with a handy-dandy hand flamethrower**

Getting my licks in quick before the shutdown. **sits in chair**

Pistoff: You want an @$$ to kick ... get that woman who got the job as ABC's head of children's programming, who not only cancelled Gargoyles but turned ABC's Saturday morning programming into total and complete blithering dreck.

Caeru: EEEP! YOU ASKED!! OH NOOOOO!!!

**coposes self**

Sorry. Ohkay, long story short ... they showed up in the second story I wrote in a short-lived series of techno-noir/cyberpunk/satire stories. Consider that I had a very limited knowledge of Internet protocol when I wrote it. That in mind ... the cult (I called them "The Children of the Monopolizer") had one main goal, that being to *erase the Internet.*
There were a few ideas in the two stories I wrote with that set of characters that I would love to use again sometime ... the city it was set in had an artificial intelligence as its government (very Big Brother-ish AI at that) and VR religions ... followers of the religions kept backup copies of their souls on church hard drives. The two protagonists of the stories were a private detective (who if he held a particular gun sprouted a set of wings) and his partner, a former nun in one of the VR religions.
But it's not exactly my best work, really. The first of the stories was what got rejected by SF&F.

SJ: Never seen any pictures of Alison Court, but my best guess would be she is somewhere in her 30's now ... but her voice still sounds like a teenager's.
And speaking of implants ... while we're discussing Britney Spears and implants, it's been lost in the shuffle that Pamela Lee had hers *removed.* I'm surprised nobody's jumped on that one.

SOROW: Congratulations!!

Aris: All those are very good examples of time travel contributing to immutable timelines ... but you happened to mention a personal favorite of mine ("12 Monkeys" and by extension its inspiration, "La Jetee") which has my absolute all-time favorite time travel concept. I'm referring of course to circular existence, where a character time travels and winds up influencing his own life *directly*. (Bruce Willis as a boy in "12 Monkeys," as well as the protagonist of "La Jetee," witnessed their own deaths.)

Ironwolf: Yeah, I know you're referring to the singer/poetess Jewel (who, incidentally, studied opera at Interlochen Arts Academy in northern Michigan. Interlochen has a summer camp that I attended for two weeks my senior year in high school ... it's a nice place, but even in the middle of summer it's cold!).

Elessar: Two reasons ... payola and a body that could stop traffic.

Ouija boards: If you want the *real* test of psychic ability with one of these ... when someone asks a question, have them *close their eyes.* That way there's no cheating. (My uncle does this all the time when he uses one.)

Christine re: Becca's costume: **takes a huge gasp** Oh, that's so CUUUUUUTE!! **starts channelling Dana Carvey** Can ... not ... move ... child ... too ... cute ... must ... get ... help ... ;)

Carolynn: Have fun at your dance.

Kevorkian: To tell the truth, I don't really care for the man, but some things about the trial were extremely wonky. For instance ... the judge would *not* allow Thomas Youk's family to testify for the defense. She wouldn't allow them to testify *at all,* which is the basis for Kevorkian's appeal.

Fire Storm: Main reason for the Vernor's is it's for the WCC Wrap Party. Wanted to use champagne, but half of the contributors were underage, and I don't want my butt gettin' arrested ... and besides, I can stomach Vernor's: I can't stand champagne.

Cyrway: *So I'm feeling like a bitch today...* So you decided to post with "the blue bitch" (as some of my characters have referred to Demona), huh? :)

****WARNING: SPOILERS FOR THE UPCOMING "ANGEL" SPIN-OFF. YES, THAT ANGEL, FROM BUFFY*****
Just caught some info on the new show. Apperently, it's supposed to be "darker" and "more adult" than Buffy is. Also, rumors have it that Angel will be in L.A., and will be helped out by a trio of lovely ladies, them being: Uberbitch/Evil Slayer Faith, as-of-now-I-believe-still-in-rat-form teen witch Amy, and of course, Cordelia (although it's being tossed around that Faith may NOT have such a bright future at the end of the season, so you may have to count her out of the equation. Which wouldn't bother me, cause I really wish they'd kill her off). Angel will be getting help also from the Irish demon Whistler (who, for some ungodly reason, will be played by Glen Quinn, the guy who was Becky's husband on "Roseanne". Ugh).
Oh yeah, and Cordelia may become a member of the undead. Maybe not a vampire, but dead nonetheless.
******THE PRECEDING WAS ANGEL SPOILERS, DON'T BLAME ME IF YOU READ IT******

Cyrway: GODDAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How the hell am I going to compete with email? GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wilek: Did you go to the games section? It lists all their various gaming systems, and through the links they have some basic info on there about the various clans/tribes/brotherhoods, etc.

Todd: There was some post in the CR, I don't remember when, that said someone had read about a Celtic fire god whose many names included Madoc and Maddux. I'm not sure exactly what the post said, or if it was a reliable source. I just remembered it last night.

Wilek: Don't know how we got around paying taxes. Must be a combo of all the cuts that have been going on, a good tax advisor who helped us take advantage of them, and luck.

THE WINNER OF THE CONTEST GOES TO...*drumroll by Astral Al...which quickly morphs into the beat to "Kings of Speed"* Kyryn! A fellow Hawkwind and Moorcock nut, she emailed me first...sorry 'bout that, Sevarius Jr...she was a tad quicker...but yes, the answer was Elric, Emperor of Melniboné. As for the name...Moorcock himself helps out with the company...in fact, Boraelis Publishing, the company putting out the re-issues of the Champion Eternal sagas, is another name for White Wolf...

Okay, back to work...

**RP NEXT TIME**

Ironwolf> If it's *our* Jewel you're talking about, you just might get a few things cut off anyhow. :P Um, what's FOCH?

Jackal> Creepy Ouija board stuff. I think those things can be dangerous; I mean who knows what you could unleash...

Christine> Lex-suit Becca is so cute that the pic of her ripped a hole in the space-time continuum and sucked me into an evil parallel universe. Miriam's organization had to construct a negative-pressure stargate in order to get me back. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find an antiphasic resonation coil? :P

Cyrway> <<Free commission to the one who first can name who the company was named after>> Dang, I *always* lose these kinds of contests...

$<<No, just Baloo. Little John was someone else.>> I always thought he was an ancestor of Baloo; they look similar.$ Hey...anyone ever wonder why they reused Jungle Book characters for Tale Spin? Interesting decision. I kept expecting Bagheera to show up, and was a little disappointed when he never did...

Kitainia> You didn't have to pay taxes? Kewl! How did *that* happen?!

Fire Storm> Welcome back! :D <<If a Iron Bell would cause the third race great pain, would the light from a light bulb with a filament with a high iron content burn them badly?>> Hm...not sure, actually. It technically wouldn't be 'cold' iron, so I don't know...<<but what does the Water Fae use?>> The first thing that came into my head was diamond, but if you want a precious metal instead of a gemstone...I'm not sure...Oh, and I'm glad you finally got a satellite. Cable stinks these days.

SJ> I stopped by the White Wolf site. It didn't tell anything about the various houses or whatever, and that's what I was looking for. Ah well, I'll find a nice search engine...

BTW, anyone who's into sci-fi roleplaying, look up 'Children Of The Daleks'. Very interesting...

Kitainia: Thanks! =) Glad you like Jack Hammer, and he's definitely gonna be appearing again. I do plan to show how he lost his natural eyes (basically, it's the same as in my novel), and in fact I'm working on a story now in which he tells Delilah about it over dinner ... or breakfast ... or whatever. I'm not sure if it'll fit into the story arc Denis and I have planned out, but I'll squeeze it in as soon as I can.

Also, I like the idea of Jack beating Oberon like a red-headed stepchild. I've got just a few vague ideas at the moment ... mainly I'm thinking Jack wasn't affected by Obie's "sleep" spell in The Gathering ... not because he's part fae or anything like that ... but simply because Jack drinks so damn much caffeine. ;) With all the potential injuries and deaths caused when everybody fell asleep at the wheel, there's plenty of things Jack could be pissed about ...

Ah, yeah, the gears are turning now. 'Scuse me, gotta go write before I forget all this stuff ...

Oh, one last thing I just can't resist throwing out here: "Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life." ~Brooke Shields

<>DEAD, (and violent) SUBJECT WARNING!<>

I realize this is a long dead subject from late last week, but LM just recently told me about it, so I decided to read it and comment on it. It's about the P-Fay/Artist thing. I only have one thing to say about it.
Damn.
Thats all.

Oh yeah...
SJ: I agree with you about the Venom part!

<>END WARNING<>

Recently got a Satelite dish and FINALLY got Toon Disney! (Future Tense had BETTER be on Friday!)
REBOOT is on the Cartoon Network at 4:30 pm ET. Tomorrows episode is the second episode for season 3

Fan-Fic stuff: I hope to have TWO or three stories out soon.
One Spawn and two continuations of my series.

REBOOT: Did Greg Weisman do any Reboot Episodes? I thought I saw his name in the credits of a episode.

DumlaoX: Ever see Escape from LA? Do you like the end song? (The One). i believe you said you like songs with good beats and the like.
Also, you like Techno? (Like Cher's "Believe")
Just curious.

<>TIMEDANCER SPOILER<>

I wonder if there will be any talk about how Demona fit in with that clan in France. She WAS around there at that time.

Also, I wonder where Brooklyn will take the eggs? ;)
I KNOW! AVALON! Right? No? Hmm... Jersey! NO?! Um... New Mexico! YEAH! New Mexico!

<>END SPOILERS<>

If a Iron Bell would cause the third race great pain, would the light from a light bulb with a filament with a high iron content burn them badly?

<>LM and NF Story help requested below<>

For the elemental Fae: Ok, I associate the Fae that we know of (Oberon's children and the like) with the Element Air. Some of the Fae show traits of that element and are harmed by Iron (a pure Earth element.)

Now, I say that Silver is used by the Air Fae against the Earth Fae, and Fire uses Gold against the Water Fae, but what does the Water Fae use? Any sugestions?

Lady Mystic and I are working together on a story series with some of this info, and any input would be greatly apreciated.

<>END HELP<>

Vernors: <LOCAL NOTE> I don't know if everyone knows what Vernors is, but it is basically Ginger Ale.
(As long as it is not Pepsi.)

Do you think this is crazy? I want to get the Coke-a-Cola company to deliver to my house. It's just a pain to load and unlaod 100+ 2-liters of Coke from the car every other month.

Sanity test:
Talking to plants? Yep. Helps my plants grow.
Mad at someone beacuse of dream? Hell yeah. Thats why I don't like my managers.
#18: Oh yeah... you should have heard me that one time... convinced myself I was a spy. <Long, but funny story, but it involved a conversation with LM>
24 hour store: Only if there WAS one around here. (Try finding some place to get food at 4 am when you just want to catch some quick food while taking a break from making your costume... even longer story ALSO involving LM)
Tickling: Everyday, a few people.
Not slept at night: Define "Night." Stayed up for a week straight (INSOMNIA! Sleeping pills kept me awake. Go fig. LM never sleeps. <G>)
Barefoot Snow: I don't care. I have a high cold tolerance. (Also explains why I had to push my car out of a snow bank while I was wearing shorts, gloves and my winter coat that goes down to my waist.)
Obsessed/fantasized about somone: Well, I... <Looks at LM sitting to his left> Er.. that is... <looks worried at LM>... No comment. She <----- will hurt me if I say who else I have fantasized about while we have been going out. (And I did also fantasize about Lady Mystic)

Deuce: I like the pick, but maybe you should clean up the image of the card.

Aaron: Borg Queen sexy? Hell yeah.

Too tired to read the rest of the CR tonight...

**RP HERE**

The display comes on with a large number of dirty long-haired hippies walking home from Woodstock (the one in 1969, this is another time travel excursion). They all look seriously doped up on drugs and are muttering the usual "Peace, dude," and similar phrases as they walk down the road. Suddenly a portal opens in front of them and the Borg-drones step out. "Uh, is this an LSD trip?" one of the hippies asks. "Uh, hippies," says Borgis, pulling his shirt over his head. "I am the great Borg-holio!! You shall worship me, and bow down to the almighty Borg collective!" The hippies look at each other, shrug and begin kowtowing. Butt-Borg chuckles, then he and the others assimilate them. "To the Master Guod!" Borgis proclaims and the hippies follow them through the portal chanting in some weirdo alien tongue.

Meanwhile, back in the present time, the Onslaught is passing through Ohio. "I think we're being followed," Jammer is saying to Kitainia. "That black jeep has been with us since Iowa, maybe before." "Probably that Hades guy Jaden was talking about," Kitainia says. "Can you lose him?" "Not in a rig this size on a road this sparsely populated, it'd be too hard." "Then let him follow us," the half-garg sighs. "We'll deal with him when he decides to do something else." Jammer nods. "Okey dokey." Kitainia leans back in her seat and turns to make a CR post.

**PAUSE RP**

Hello, everyone. Sorry I haven't been by in a while, I've been busy. But like many of you, I wanted to get one long post in before the shutdown. So here goes-

RL News: First the exciting news. Tomorrow I will meet Doug's father. Yes, the guy who once referred to me on the phone with Doug as a mooching tramp. He apologized to Doug about it later, but I'm still mad. I hope he's not the same kind of jerk Doug's mom was. I hear he's a health nut, a pretty good lawyer, a golf fanatic, and won't let the kids he had after Doug (second marriage) watch much TV because of all the drivel that's on these days (wonder if he let them watch Gargs). Anyway, he's coming into town tomorrow for some UT Law School alumni reunion on Saturday and the three of us are going out to dinner tomorrow night. Wish me luck, hope I make a good impression on this guy. :)

Now, the really exciting news. Guess who didn't have to pay any taxes this year. <Doug and Kitainia whoop, high-five each other, and cackle like wild hyenas> Yes, that's right!! US!!!! We had to pay zero in taxes. Zip, zilch, nada. Versus the two hundred and something dollars each we owed last year. Doug and I got lucky, huh? We can definitely afford coming to the Gathering now. Hope we are able to (time is still a concern), look forward to seeing all of you there. <whoops again>

Welcome back to the CR, all who have returned!!

Kaioto: Your fanfics sound very interesting. I too am interested in reading them. Hope you finish and post them soon.

SJ: I agree with you completely about Mulder and Scully. I think X-Files needs to be the kind of show where they focus on the characters' relationships and at the same time the overall big conflict. Buffy's like that, so was Brimstone, and so are TGS and Doug's and Coyote's fanfics. Which explains why these all rank high among my favorite entertainment forms. X-Files used to be like this with its mythology episodes, but we get so few of those now that it's boring. Hope Chris runs out of Mulder and Scully love stories soon so we can get back to seeing what Cancerman's next plot is and what will eventually happen to him, Fowley, and Krycek (the only three bad guys left, except for the aliens, who I am also very curious about). Have either Mulder or Scully abducted by the rebels, who tell them the whole deal, that's what I'd do to get viewers interested in the show again. Not do so many boring romance eps.

Pistoff: Great Jack Hammer creativity demon. And I loved your rewrite of "The Far End of the Dark Side" even more than the original version. Iris and Brooklyn bonded well, and Jack Hammer is a very neat and interesting character. Hope we see more of him in later fics (I want to find out how he lost his natural eyes).

Todd: I know gargs aren't supernatural creatures. That doesn't stop a lot of humans from considering them as such because they don't know the truth. So my essay still works, right? :)

Mandi: Five new Buffy episodes left in the season, huh? They better start showing them soon. <grin>

Serenity: Not sure how I would react to encountering a garg. If I heard about them a la Hunter's Moon, I'd probably be scared at first, but then calm down and investigate their existence. I would never go crazy and join the Quarrymen but I also would have to wait a while and look at the situation before deciding to stay neutral or join PIT. If I met a garg and they saved me from a mugging, well, I'd be very surprised and happy. I wouldn't run away screaming or go nutso on them, I'd politely thank them and then ask "Uh, now who and what are you?" Good thing the gargs are all the kind of people I can talk to easily, hope the conversation would go well.

Spike and Dru: I checked that comic out. It's very good, both in action and Spike and Dru development. Everyone here should go down to their local comic shop and pick it up.

Aaron: Ezekiel Stone was the hero of a Fox series called Brimstone. It was a really good show with wonderful plots, humor, action, and character development that unfortunately got cancelled recently. Basic premise- Zeke Stone was a cop who fifteen years ago shot the guy who raped his wife in cold blood. Two months later he was wounded in an armed robbery, died, and went to hell for his sin. Now, in the present day, 113 of the most vile souls in Hell have escaped and the Devil (Stone's aforementioned long-haired pal, a very cool character) has enlisted Stone as his personal paladin to help him find these souls and send them back to Hell. If they get them all, Stone gets a second chance at life on Earth. When the show ended, he had only recaptured about twenty. I'm really POed that it didn't continue so we could see if he got the rest. :(

DumlaoX: $ Very cool way how you disposed of those yugoloths. Especially the bulldog-like Captain Licreg (the first one you killed, who jumped up and bit you). Hope your character comes out of his encounter with them okay, good job taking 'em out. Small note, though. These guys weren't exactly a ravening undisciplined horde, yugoloths are the cold heartless Navy Seals of the underworld. They plan everything with calm precision and usually fight in a similar manner. Guess their plan was to overwhelm and frighten you in this case while ripping you to shreds with their insectile and froglike appendages. :) For future reference, tannari or demons are generally the huge undisciplined hordes of crazed bloodthirsty soldiers of hell, baatezu or devils are the ones who fight in formation following laws and rules, and yugoloths or daemons are the neutral ones who will generally do cold intelligent fighting but can go either way. $

Thanks to all who have participated in my fay discussion for the compliments and interesting posts thus far. Personally my favorite type of villain has been the evil clone. Yeah, they get boring sometimes, but the conflicts they can produce are often very interesting, especially when you contrast the main character with them. Large number of cyber cookies to anyone who can say the ways in which Guod and Asil are evil clones of Doug and me (in personality, not just the reversed names, their genetic makeups, and their looks). If no one gets it, Doug will post the answer to this in his next post.

Kaioto again: Not sure what you point you thought I missed, but here's my response to your comment to me- You are very right about Jesus. He should not be made out to be a fay, since he is a very important historical figure. Not even in the universe I was talking about, the fictional TGS universe, where many of the Unseelie have been historical figures as well as religious icons (example, Madoc was a Celtic fire god (I think) and an advisor to the king of England during Macbeth's reign). There's kinda a double standard involved here, don't you think? You make very good points, I agree with them, but you need to remember that all things are relative. Mythology and theology are very different things, yes, but they mean different things to different people. Zeus was as important to the Greek civilization as Christ has been to ours, and I'm sure that if the Greeks all found out he was just a fay back then they'd be as surprised and mad as you if you found out the same thing about God or Jesus. (I'm not saying God or Jesus are fay, I know they're not, this is hypothetical, okay?) There are a few people around today who still worship Zeus, Odin, etc. and if they found out their gods were just fay, well, to them their gods WERE real historical figures even if they weren't to you. This is the real world, fay do not exist here. They do in the Gargs universe, and any mythological god can be one. In the world, however, we have so many different religions that often what one man belives is true is to another just ridiculous myth they avoid and deny whenever possible. So the fact that what we thought were gods were really fay would have an impact on us. Especially on the people who thought their nightmare legends didn't exist, period. (And when they find out they do, bad news.) Can you see my points here? I hope so, because I'm frankly a little too tired to think up another way to put them. I also hope this doesn't start a flame war. :(

Aris: Very good points about God, religion, and enjoying stories. I liked your idea of God as the ultimate Mary Sue.

Caeru: $ Perfect portraits of my three least favorite a-hole radio personalities. You and Kaioto did a good and well-deserved job showcasing them for who they really are and then hurting them BAD. :) $

Cyrway: Doug sends his apologies for calling Cal a villain. You'll be pleased to know that he was also an inspiration for a balanced character in Doug's fanfic named Silvan and Bahamut, the GOOD dragon king of Doug's saga universe. <grin>

**BEGIN SPOILERS FOR NEW TIMEDANCER EPISODE**

To The Soul was another good story. Great portrayal of the French Revolution, plot, and development of Sata and Brooklyn. Etolie was also a very good character, look forward to seeing more of her next week. I also liked the pic. Overall, 8.5/10, thumbs up, good job. Can't wait till next week.

**END SPOILERS FOR NEW TIMEDANCER EP**

Ironwolf: Dark hair, light eyes, kickass attitude? Hmm, I have all those. Wonder if you're obsessed with me. (If so, no problem, just curious. I'm sure I could handle any obsession since I'm very happy with my current SO.)

Steve Gooch: Hope you did well on that paper. I wonder if you quoted any of Doug and me's comments to Traveler that beg him to post soon. Speaking of which, Doug is still waiting for your feedback, Traveler. Get it to him soon, please. <grin>

Dresses: I agree with Deuce and Carolynn. They are uncomfortable, drafty, and hard to put on. Also too easy in some cases to be really embarrassed in (you'll know what I'm talking about if you've ever had a jerk sneak up behind you and pull the dress's back zipper down. Said jerk was quickly put into hospital after he did this to me at my eleventh grade spring dance, because at the time it did make me very humiliated and upset). Why did guys ever decide we should wear them? Or did we decide to? <shrugs> I don't know.

Christine: Becca looks so cute in her costume. When she comes to the Gathering with you and Tim, I have to say hi and get a pic.

Robby: I agree with you about that egotistical a-hole Kevorkian. Hope he enjoys prison, especially his little hopefully fruitless hunger strike.

Guess that's all for now. Good night, everyone! <waves> Oh, and Robby, Deuce, you better not forget to save this CR before the shutdown. I'd hate for it to be lost. Bye for now!

**BEGIN 2ND HALF RP**

"I'm going back to get some sleep, Jammer," Kitainia says. "Wake me up when we get to Washington." "Okay. You and Doug sleep well." Jammer drinks some coffee and keeps driving the truck.

Unknown to him or Kitainia or any of the mostly sleeping Ravens, a portal is opening in the trailer. An extremely skanky and vicious-looking half-gargoyle female who looks suspiciously like Kitainia steps out and walks over to Jerry's cage. "Wake up," she hisses, prodding him with the point of a long-barrelled DOOM-style laser gun. "Wake up, you idiot." "Kitainia," Jerry smiles as he comes around. "You came to rescue me!" "In a way, yes," Asil nods. "I'm so glad to see you. Quick, get me out of this cage and we'll finish off these servants of Satan!" "Just a minute, Jerry," Asil says, taking aim at the cage lock. "Did they hurt you?" "No, but they angered me with their mere presence, as well as the thought of my failure to defeat them. Have I disappointed you and the Bishop?" "The Bishop had a heart attack a few days ago, Jerry. I'm sorry, but he's dead." "It's okay," Jerry shrugs. "I guess he's with God now. And these Ravens will soon be in hell." Asil nods, shooting off the cage lock with a silent blast. Jerry steps out and she hands him the gun, as well as a gasmask and bandolier of sleep grenades. "Put them to sleep and then kill them," she commands Jerry. "Most of them are already asleep, including the demon Kitainia and that accursed Doug. It should be an easy task." "You're not staying to help me?" Asil shakes her head. "I'm needed back at the base. Good luck, my love." Hiding a demonic smile, she kisses Jerry and points to the sounds of the team's snoring. Jerry watches her open another portal and leave, then smiles himself. "She trusts me," he chuckles. "Trusts me and loves me enough to give me such an important task. I shall do it for you, Lisa, and for God." The screen fades out as he draws a grenade and moves toward the snoring noises. <Uh oh.>

Aaron: Love that Brooklyn-Pikachu bit. And ... "Congratulations! You may be the only person I've met with weirder taste in females then me." Heheh, thanks! BTW, I think Una's pretty hot, too ...

Ouija board: Some friends and I played with one of these a few years ago ... and absolutely nothing happened. Not a damn thing. The pointer or whatever you call it didn't move, didn't even twitch a little. So I was kinda pissed because of the money I'd spent on it. As far as I'm concerned ouija boards and psychic stuff is pure BS. I mean, if those women on the phone were *really* psychic, they would've warned Dionne Warwick about what was going to happen to her career ...

Time travel and unchangable history: I never did believe in predestination or fate. We're changing things right at this moment, every thing we say and do changes what happens in the next minute, hour, day, etc. My philosophy probably leans more toward Existentialism than anything else--everything that happens is due do random chance.

Well, not everything. There's some cause-and-effect stuff. If I'm delivering a pizza and the guy's dog runs down the driveway and bites me, I'm gonna kick the son of a bitch. Cause and effect. But the cause, the dog biting me in the first place, is more the result of random chance than anything else.

**Party RP**
Caeru and the talk radio gurus prepare for the worst. As the last of the the Barneys advance on the group, a thunderous roar erupts as the robot are ripped apart as Dragon's Breath rounds are pumped into them. Assault rifle in hand; black leather jacket impeccably neat, Malakai leaps down from the wall and advances on the group.
Dr. Laura immediately goes off on how he has recklessly could have killed them all. Malakai listens patiently for a moment, his arms folded. Eventually, even Dr. Laura has to stop to breathe. At which point Malakai raises an eyebrow over the sunglasses' rim, "Are you quite done?" the gravelly voice asks.

"I haven't even started!" she yowls. Quite calmly and deliberately, Malakai grabs Dr. Laura by the hair. Screaming in pain, there is little difference in her communicative messages. Sighing, Malakai applies a tazer-like device to the back of her neck. The good Doctor goes unconscious.
"Wow," Howard Stern says, "Can you do that on the air? The ratings would go through the roo- ahhhh!"
Stern is cut off as Malakai snarls and jabs him in the chest with the tazer device until he too in on the ground.

Deuce: You asked for it … I warned you he wouldn't be very sociable … but that's what you get when you invite a vindictive, heavily armed nihilist to a party … "maybe if we get him drunk. *Glances over* ~ really ~ drunk." A cyber-cookie to the gentle being who gives me the director of the comedy movie this is taken from.

Wilek: Go with Mage if you are good at RP, like to wing things, and want to be a bit more upbeat about reality. Go with Werewolf if you are into nasty hand to hand combat. Run with the Vampires if you like a Gothic intrigue. Go with Wraith if you want to be totally obsessive and depressive. (Sorry to any Wraith players, but that game doesn't do anything for me: "Darn, I'm dead … woops … eh … still dead … hurray … wait … I'm still dead …")

Temporal Mechanics: You know, the only real restrictions on time-travel in a fantasy setting is whether or not the universe (the mind of the writer) tolerates paradox. There is no actual free will (obviously) in a fictional universe because the characters are only puppets of the mind of the writer. Treating the fictional universe like it were real, however, one would need to develop a working theory of temporal mechanics. Presuming that you want to make characters have free will, one must find some other means other than immutable history to stop paradox, unless you are willing to accept paradox.

Lexy: "Tofu" eh? You had to go and say it … ow Dick Greyson and Bruce Wayne are going to have to suffer ~ some ~ indignity for insulting my daimyo's house, you know that? :)

Question:
Erg … career questions never help me when I'm having a headache :P Drives me nuts sometimes, trying to figure out how to survive getting a job, when all I want to do is problem solve and all I'll get to do is busy work … maybe systems analysis is going to be an opportunity. Anybody out there have any advice? My head hurts … sorry. Yeah, I know, it's pitiful. I'm not supposed to go through a career crisis in freshman year, but maybe this will get it out of the way.

Caeru can only stare in horror, "Y-you, k-killed them?"
"No," the gravely voice sighs as he puts the Tazer thing back in his jacket, "That'd be a waste. I know some cyborgs that can use the bio-parts in working order. "If I get the time, I'll bring them back with me and put them in the tanks. If not, they'll die eventually. Everyone does," the man in black shrugs.
Rush Limbaugh, until now, shocked and aghast, now speaks up, "You can't do that! It's a violation of the rights of American citizens. It's immoral! It's unconstitutional!"
Malakai fidgets with the Uzi on his hip, "What the hell is your point, fat-boy?"
Rush, being an observant lad, shuts up. "Never mind," he mutters.
"Good," the bounty hunter replies, "I don't actually have a reason to kill you right now. Your show is harmless food for ignorant minds. I've got larger fish to fry. Good on," he motions to the door, "Run along and live a little longer, fat-boy."
Rush runs as fast as his chunky form can go.
Malakai turns around to address Caeru, but she has already fled in the other direction. "Run, girl! Run to the ends of the earth!"
The man dressed like midnight gives a short, mirthless laugh, "Run wherever you wish. Nowhere is far enough. The End is inevitable you fool!" He shakes his head and reloads his weapons as he makes his way deeper into Disney World, "Gather ye thy illusions while ye may. The only reality is Oblivion," he sighs, almost a trace of regret in his voice.

Gonna be brief, I'm a bit pressed for time.

Just got back from seeing George Bush, former president of the US. Very cool guy.

Trent- Interesting.

Kaioto- Interesting time paradox theory. I like it!

Sorow- Congrats!

Villains- I got a few nasty ones... I'll go into detail on them when I have the time.

Argent- Sawright.

Free will vs. predestination- No such thing as predestination, but if you travel to the future, you'll see the end result of free will.

Aaron- Speaking of Brooklyn and Demona's... Relationship... Its a shame you missed Jim's last party. They got kinda... Friendly near the en of that one.

Jack Kervokian- The guy is finally going to jail. Bout time.

Christine- Cool!

Carolynn- Cngrats.

**JIM'S CELEBRATION**

Jim walks around, and runs into Kit Cloudkicker, of Talespin fame. He chit chats with Kit as he wals around examines the park. "Ya know, I just might buy this most magical place on Earth..."
"Are you kidding? That would cost millions! How rich are you?"
"Ever hear of Gomez Adams?"
"Yes..."
"Richer than him."
"Woah. What about Bill Gates?"
"No where near him Kit."
"So what do you use all that money for?"
"Well to be honest, now that I don't use it buying new mansions anymore, there's only one thing I spend it on anymore."
"And what's that?"
"I think your friend Baloo said it best..." A look glazes over Jim Iza Noying, and he bursts into a very familiar tune. Only a few lines into it, Baloo the Bear shows up, attracted to the music.
"Little John!"
"No, just Baloo. Little John was someone else. Um... You mind if I join you in that song?"
"Hey Baloo, you're the man. It's your song." And with that, Kit Cloudkicker, Jim Iza Noying, and Baloo the Bear break out into an improv jam session of "The Bear Neccesities". (click!)

****LITTLE RP BIT****
Sevarius Jr. has wrestled the Hounds away from the company mascots, but not before Pluto received several grievous injuries. Two security guards that bear a suprising resemblance to the pig cops in Duke Nukem march over. "Alright son," one of them drawled. "I'm afraid that we're gonna have to ask you to take those things out of the park."
SJ looked at them sinisterly. "Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me? I don't see anybody else here, so you must be talking to me. Sable, Drake! EAT HAM!!!" And with that, the Hounds obediently begin to chase the two piggish gaurds through the park.
SJ began to scratch his head. "Hmmm....that gives me an idea. If I'm gonna search for my dad here in Disney World, what better place to start than with the highest authority here!"
"What are talking about?" Kari asks.
SJ smiled. "We, my dear, are gonna meet Michael Eisner!!!"
*****END LITTLE RP BIT*****

Iron Wolf: The chick from Zorro is Catherine Zeta-Jones. I don't know about cutting any of my body parts for her, but I'd certainly sacrifice many a believer to be in her presences.....

Wilek: Kindred, Garou, Sabbat, Camarilla, Brujah....these are all terms from the various Roleplaying games made by the good folks over at White Wolf Publishing. They're the ones responsible for such hit RP gaming systems as Vampire: The Masquerade (my favorite), Werewolf: The Apocalypse, Mage: The Ascension (which Kaioto seems to favor ;] ), Wraith: The Oblivion, and Changeling: The Dreaming. They're terribly fun. If you want to check them out, go to www.white-wolf.com, or click on my name.

Free Will vs. Predestination: I believe that certain events are predestined. Like Columbus "discovering" America. But I also believe that many "smaller" things--such as what I'm gonna eat for breakfast tomorrow, whether I choose this job over the other, etc.--are left to our own free will.

Aris: You're not from/living in America, so I can see where you'd get mistaken. I believe (and hope) that Iron Wolf was referring to Jewel the singer, not our own Jewel. Although Faulkner is certainly lovely in her own way.

***To The Soul SPOILER***
I didn't realize this was going to be a cliffhanger or I'd have waited until the second part was available. It's a good ep though. I'd never thought about Valjean's clan having eggs hidden away when I read the ep with the flashback about Demona meeting his clan. Hope they make out OK. Sata seems to be tired a lot and I suppose I can guess what that means. I wonder where the name Etolie is from.

Carolynn> ["Better than you waking up in a strange bed in a strange apartment and wondering..."] Ever see that Labatt beer commercial? It goes like this: Guy wakes up, hung over. He's only wearing jeans. He hits the answering machine, and hears his friend's voice. Friend's talking about the "wild party last night, man. Where'd you go?" Friend continues talking, while guy fishes through his pockets, coming up with a phone number for "Cheryl", on the back of a business card from "Bob's Body Piercing and Tattoos". He runs into the bathroom and finds his right nipple pierced. He quickly checks his arms and legs, but finds nothing else. Looking in the mirror again, he decides the nipple rings are pretty cool. As he walks out, we see a gigantic tattoo on his back: a teddy bear holding a big heart, with "CHERYL" emblazoned across it. Cut to the Labatt logo, and a slogan: "Know where to draw the line. Drink responsibly."

Care to guess why I don't drink? :-)

Beautiful costume Christine. You do as good or better with a glue gun than I can with a sewing machine. And I started sewing Barbie cloths on a treadle machine back when I was in fifth grade. Way too many years ago. BTW the above is something we did in my SCA household to show we really appreciate what was done.

My God!!! CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG!?! we have senseless killing right and left, slaughtering innocent people!!! Why can't we all just sit round the camp fire and sing "Koombya"? So many terrible things are happening in Kosovo, and I just don't understand why we have to kill other human beings for being a certain ethnic group, religion, sexualality, etc. At times like this I wish we were all gargoyles and respected the law that gargoyles don't kill other gargoyles. Why can't we be more like gargs, huh?

*runs in, showering everyone with free Sorbets and Escargot ... hey, try it! They're chewy; tastes like chicken :)* I figured considering this week's Timedancer is French-oriented, a little bit of France would fit so perfectly :D

GARGS BOMBING THEIR OWN CLOCKTOWER< In a time of real scariness, I don't think anyone would stop to think, "Hey, they wouldn't bomb their own place". Owen obviously thought of that, because he wasn't exactly fazed (then again, what does?) Nobody in Salem in 1692 apparently stopped to think that if the women were real witches, they obviously woulndn't incriminate themselves by pinching and torturing the Salem girls in front of the judges. Or, take a real recent event in mankind's history, the removal of the Japanese-Americans during WWII. The whole thing sounds nuts if you read records of it. One little boy, on his way to a camp, had his baseball bat taken away because the guards thought it could be used as a weapon *shrugs* Like I said, when people get freaked, they don't stop to think. They just want to get rid of whatever is scaring them. Not something humans are proud of, we're just wired that way :(

REACTING TO GARGS< Y'mean after I regained consciousness? :P Well, actually, I'd probably lose control of my vocal chords and muscles for a few minutes, but I doubt I'd faint or run away screaming ("Run away! Run away!" :D). But I know I'd feel on the verge of heart failure :)

DUMLAOX< I'm so sorry! My great-uncle has this, and though we dont' see each other much, he means a great deal to my dad :( It's tough for him to visit him and not be recognized at times. Hang in there, man!

SJ< Thanks for the links to "The Blair Witch Project". It took a while; something was all funky with the server :P But, oh man oh man, if any of you haven't gone already to one of it's websites, CHECK IT OUT!!!!! I haven't seen a bad review of it yet. Everyone's given it 10's, and some people commented that it's scarier than Aliens. Hoo-whee!!!!! I already made plans to go this summer at it's premiere with two girlfriends :)

BTW, I probably won't be around Saturday night, because, okay, okay *deep breath* This semi-formal dance is going on at school, and I got the guts to ask this guy, and he said ... yes :) So, I'm going with him and my friends to dance. Of course, that means wearing a dress, but I can make an exception for once :D YAY!!!

*salutes* Peace to y'all :)

Hey all,

Well, I'm leaving for Philly early tomorrow morning; maybe I'll drop back in tonight, maybe not. A friend at UPenn invited my roommate and me down to her place for their "Spring Fling" weekend. (Jewel, that means the *milk* is going to be flowing like water ;-)

Also, great news. Remember back when I mentioned that I might throw the CR into a research paper for a Comm course? Well, I did one better. My topic is "The role of delayed feedback in the creation and resolution of online conflicts" ...in comment rooms and message boards. Specifically the TGS CR and the Action Quake 2 Message Board. Bwahahahaha.... Score!

Kaioto > <You do me more credit than I deserve.> I take back none of it.

Deuce > Love the pic :)

Iron weaponry > I'll admit, I'm a little behind on the topic, but I've got a fic planned wherein a normal human takes on a couple rogue fey out of revenge - only he doesn't know that they're Third Race. Got some good vigilante justice-style scenes planned, and all the guns he uses are VERY iron-rich :)

If I met a gargoyle (or several): Hmmmm... Lessee... If this was before Hunter's Moon I'd probably be a little shocked... okay, maybe more than a little shocked. But I tend to be a pretty open, accepting, and tolerant person, so in most cases I wouldn't be afraid. Goliath might freak me out a bit, but not anybody else (except maybe Bronx). If they saved me from a mugger, criminal, etc, I'd be quite grateful and more than a little curious. Being something of a loner I probably wouldn't join any group - PIT or the Quarrymen, though I'd be pretty vocal in my disrespect for the latter (Hoods = KKK = cowards in my mind). I'd probably set out on my own to learn as much about the gargs as possible, not allowing the media to form my opinion for me.

Tim > <Besides, a guy can fantasize, can't he?;)> Hell yes. (She's on my list, too :)

SOROW > Congratulations! (Uh, I've been out of the loop last few weeks. Officer of what?)

Elessar > <Is it just me, or do SWAT teams look totally hilarious running around in their black outfits with MP-5s?> Hilarious? *HILARIOUS?* Hell no! They look kickass! Gawd, what I'd give for a black nomex flight suit, balaclava, load-bearing gear, and H&K SMG!! I absolutely LOVE that getup! (Probably because I'm a Navy SEAL freak).

Okay, Till later...
