Oii... I know I said when the latest Timedancer episode came out that I had the posting problems on my computer fixed. And indeed, I have fixed the problems I had, but a few new ones popped up... So I can't post this week's episode just yet, Deuce isn't allowed computer access on Sundays, and I don't know where Patrick or Dumlao are. So, this week's episode will be delayed by a little bit, hopefully not long. I *WILL* clear the room at midnight however, and if anyone wants to vie for top ten, I'm including the appropriate music for a showdown. 8)

**BLAISE-ISM**
There is a strange sound at the CR door, a steady, low thumping. Dis, proving that he ain't too bright, opens it, and is immediately drowned in a sea of paper. Fleur, who is somewhat clumsily body surfing along the top of the wave, grabs hold of one of the Bouncer tree's upper branches as she goes past, pulling herself up and perching there while the tsumami of paper flows out the opposite door, taking nobody with it but Dis. Fleur, noticing the glares from the CR dwellers, decides to stay up the tree for now.
**END BLAISE-ISM**

Sorry 'bout that folks. Big Biology Essay due in one week. But I am now an expert on bacterial resisitance to antibodies (and scaring the living $h!t out of myself in the process - this stuff is like 'Outbreak' in reality).

Pistoff> *reads revenge tactics, gradually growing more and more awed* Wow. If I ever happen to annoy you, let me know okay? I wanna chance to apologise, change my email, my locks, move house, buy a new car and possibly, leave the country. :) Now excuse me. I have to go try some of them out. *maniacal giggle*

Wavelength> Don't know if you can read this, but farewell. You will be missed.

Heather> *heaves HUGE sigh of relief* I'm so glad your friends are okay. When I heard about those tornados, all I could think of was 'Who is the CR lives in Oklahoma?'.

JackaL> I'm almost amazed I'm saying this, but that dead puppy thing thing you wrote was very sweet.
>Is it possible to cut a vein and NOT go to the hospital, like in the wrist< Depends on how much you're bleeding. (As in, direct quote from my first Aid instructor: "If there is a red fountain gushing from their flesh, then I strongly suggest an ambulance is called.")

Cassandra> Banshee left the court in the episode 'Hazards', along with another main character. *sniffle*

Argent> Whoa, sounds like a bad school day. I've had two rather memorable ones of them myself. One was year 9, when a student got stabbed (saw the fight that started it, the wound, and very briefly, the weapon, but fortunately, not the actual stabbing). And the incredible thing was, it was RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE STAFF ROOM! Then a guy in our class just dropped dead in year 11. (Very tasteless choice of words, I know, but sadly, the most accurate. Seriously, I saw the guy about two hours before he died and he was perfectly healthy) The teachers were really shocking in that case too, rather like yours. They didn't tell us a god-damn thing until ten minutes before home-time, (it happened in the morning, about 10am), they even lied to us, saying he was very sick, but still alive, when they _knew_ he was dead. *growls, half angrily, half sadly.*

Star Wars> Of course people are going to be dissapointed if they hype themselves up so much. It's a movie, not a revelation from God! It'll only be enjoyable if you go in without riduculously high expectations. *muttering quietly* I will not get hyped up, I will only be dissapointed. I will not...* :)

Steve> *raises glass* To Mr Robert North, may he be Bubba's newest squeeze. (Stuff community service, but if he does plea bargain down to that, I'm hoping it's long and extremely painful.:) )

Coyote> *raises glass again* To mothers. *raises glass again* To Okami and Kyryn, hoping the wedding is going wonderfully, and their lives together will be equally wonderful.

TTFN!

**enters, switching out the candles again, this time with a candle imprinted with an octopus.**

And Ranford stands on his head for the shutout. Wings win ... AGAIN! **waggles eyebrows at SJ. ;)**

Spaceballs: Well, it appears that the consensus in the room is that you either love it or wish painful death upon Mel Brooks because of it. Myself personally, count me in the "love it" category.

S. Connery: Ahhhhh ... no, thanks.

SJ: That Sean Connery Cheese game sounds like the kind of thing you'd enjoy *only* when you're drunk. Or at least nearly as insane as most of us.

Tim: Good summary of the faults of Pat Robertson. That man scares me. If he ever gets into a position of power, then may God have mercy on us all.

Mandi: :) Thanks.

Monica Lewinsky on SNL: Heh ... my mom decided SNL was worth watching because of Ricky Martin (she's been in love with him since his appearance on the Grammys, but he only played one song last night ("Living La Vida Loca")). The part that was more fun for me were the little bits with Barbara Walters running around the studio looking for her to follow up on her interview.

**pulls out three two-liters of Vernor's**
Here's to all of the mothers in the CR, may this be a ost beautiful Mother's Day to all of you. **passes around the ginger ale for the toast**
Here's also to Kyryn and Okami, wherever they may be right now ... not like it's any of our business. If ya see this, Kyryn, may your marriage be long and happy. **everyone clinks glasses**

**WARNING! SPOILERS FOR "THE MUMMY" AHEAD!!**

For Mother's Day, I wanted to take my mom and grandmother to see "Midsummer Night's Dream." However, since it was put off another week, we saw "The Mummy" instead.
This one's a winner. In one fell swoop it managed to combine the classic style of '30s monster movies with modern technological advances in special effects, plot, and action. Brendan Fraser's character is one similar to Indiana Jones in intensity and action. And of course, there was a fair share of humor to temper the action ... and the scares ... and the scarabs. Ohh yeah, the scarabs, those earth-bound relatives of the piranha as far as the amount of time it takes for them to skeletonize a man. Plenty of scarabs to go around in this one. :)
But seriously, do yourselves a favor and go see this one. It was great.

**END SPOILERS FOR "THE MUMMY"**

And I'll be around here for a while. **sits down in the big chair, fixating on the candle, a slow, satisfied, hockey nut smile crossing his face.**

Stephen- answer to your question below

**REBOOT SPOILERS**

The reason there was a copy made of little Enzo is because at the end of the episode, the user rebooted the whole system. Anything that was saved and registered was brought back, which is why all the killed characters came back, de-virused. Anyone who was registered and still there had nothing done to them, because they were still registered, and their icons showed this, so they didn't themselves need to be rebooted. However, Matrix had his icon on "Game Sprite" mode, and so wasn't registered when Mainframe rebooted. A copy of the last saved version of Enzo was brought forth since Matrix wasn't registering and needed to be replaced, and hence, two Enzos.

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

[Scene opens in the Med-Bay of the "Big-Bird", as Jess and Big Jake are standing next to the still-wrapped body of DX...]

Jess is looking at the vital-sign monitors, her violet-colored eyes filled with worry for the mysterious mercenary. "I don't know if this is such a good idea, Jake..."

"We discussed this, Jess," Jake replies firmly. "DX knows more about the Ravens that we do at this point, and besides, nothing is going to happen to you while I'm around, okay?" He places a large hand on her shoulder, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "The worst that will happen is that you'll get a seven-day nap."

"Or I could kill him outright if I slip up," Jess replies, nodding at DX's body. "Still... you are right. Right now, he's our best chance to find out where the Ravens went to. Ever since we found out about the agent for Thailog, we've had no luck in getting back in touch with Doug or any of them."

Jake nods, "Then you'd better do that voodoo that you do so well, hon. I'll be here when you wake up."

Clutching his hand meaningfully, the elfin female motions him aside, turning to face DX's comatose form fully. She then brings her hands in front of her chest, her eyes closing as she concentrates her will... suddenly she chants a long, archaic verse of words! Between her palms, a bluish-violet light forms, filling the Med-Bay with a brilliant radiance. In seconds, the light is so intense that it flares out, sending beams of light shooting throughout the jet, and out through it's canopy...

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

For all the mothers out there in the fandom, "HAPPY MOM'S DAY!"....

SPACEBALLS> Ugh! I personally think Lucasfilm should have boycotted this one... and either sued Brooks for every cent he had, or paid to have that film destroyed. I can enjoy many of Brooks' other films: "Blazing Saddles", "Young Frankenstein", etc. ... But Spaceballs is the one I cannot, and will not stomach for as long as I live.

ANGELA NUKEM> Hmmm... I don't think Angela would do a lot of what's been shown here, but I do agree we need a kick-bootie cutie with an 'tude in a video game. Sure Lara Croft was appealing in her own, elastic-plastic, CGI way, but I'll love to see a real adventure-made woman get busy... Maybe Christine can sell her Tora Hawke character to a game company for development? :)

CHARACTERS GROWING UP> For me, It was anything and everything that was animated that I loved to pretent I was on a mission to save the world, or defeat the current villain of the day with.

REBOOT SEASON 3> Yes I loved the season ending <and the musical bit at the end>, but now I have to wonder, how come a second Enzo appeared? URG! Now I wish they had a Season 4!

B5 vs. DS9: To be honest, I wonder if some people are just looking for excuses to razz DS9, because B5 got canned after 4 or 5 seasons while DS9 ran for 7 seasons(?). Don't get me wrong, I loved B5 and I applaud JMS for his vision and talent as a storyteller, but to say DS9 blatently ripped off B5, story for story, to be honest sounds rather ludicrous!

Granted, some stories between the two have some similarities, and yes, the overall plot arcs of the Dominion and Shadow War can be claimed to parallel each other... but do you think the DS9 writers would really be so stupid to actually use B5 stories, albiet switched around to use different names, places, events, etc.? Not only would Paramount get slapped silly with lawsuits for plagerism, but it would effectively kill Sci-fi show productions for nearly every other show currently in the running now.

I've watched all of B5's seasons, and am slowly catching up on DS9's early seasons, and overall I can see no real major resemblance between the two series. Now, you can argue the big resemblance (stations, on the edge of space, next to a space-travel nexus), but lets look at the full spectrum here:

DS9:
- A space-station the Federation appropriated from the Cardasians (Ter-Rok-Nor).
- It serves as a spaceport, with only some primary weapon defense grids, and a few spaceships (runabout shuttles) for support and exploration.
- It is stationed next to an inhabited planet, which the native population supplies the security force for the station.
- A naturally-occuring hypertravel conduit (the wormhole) is nearby.

B5:
- A space station built by Earthforce (Terrans), backed by the League of Non-Alligned Worlds.
- It serves as a diplomatic "free zone" and a commerce point for aliens and humans alike; with a full contingent of military forces (defense grid, station armed servicemen, and fighter wings).
- It's stationed next to a relatively uninhabited planet, which houses a powerful computer/defense weapon; which can come to the defense of the station if needed.
- It's positioned next to a man-made hypertravel conduit (the jumpgate).

If you really look at the two, you can see there's a lot of difference between them.

TWIN-BLADE LIGHTSABERS> I'd love to get one of those, but... doesn't that type of weapon remind anyone of the Golden Lance from "Galtar and The Golden Lance" cartoon from Hanna Barbera?

ROBBY> Conga Rats, on performing in "Midsummers"! You got to play the Trickster?!? Cool! I'll bet it was better than Stanley Tucci's performance, but I'll be looking forward to seeing that movie... Coming from someone that's played "Polonius" (Hamlet), Banquo (Macbeth), and Cassius (Julius Ceasar), I can sympathize with all the work you put in.

Come to think of it, something just hit me: when we did Macbeth in junior high school, nothing bad happened to any of the cast or the crew, despite everyone's talking about the supposed curse of "the Scotish Play"... is that weird or what?

Well, with that done...

***** CONTINUE RP *****

Blinking furiously in the afterflash of the spell Jess just cast, Jake looks back into the Med-Bay. Sure enough, his companion is collapsed on the metal deck, seemingly not breathing...

"Damn!" Jake quickly kneels at her side, checking her neck for a pulse. A sigh of relief escapes his lips. "Whew! At least I don't have to defib you this time." He scoops Jess up into his arms, turning to deposit her on an empty bed.

Just then, a moan from the main bed in the bay attracts the big man's attention. He turns to see the body of DX slowly rising to a sitting position, the plastic wrap falling away like shed skin from a snake.

"Ugggh!"

"You okay, man?" Jake asks, coming over to his side.

The mystery man slowly checks his limbs, blinking as the memory of the past day or so comes back. "I... I think... so..." He turns his head, looking at Jakes face with a puzzled expression. "Who...? You're that big fella... right?"

Jake nods. "We didn't have time for introductions. Big Jake's the name. You sure you're going to be okay?"

DX slowly nods, taking in his surroundings. "I guess... but, just what happened to me?"

Just then, a deep, resonant voice fills the compartment; "THAT IS PRECISELY WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW."

Before Jake or DX can respond or react, they and the unconsious form of Jess vanish in a flash of eldrich-green light...

[The scene closes, fading to black, as the words "To Be Continued..." appear.]

Thanx for all the welcomes, everyone. :)

Toon Disney> I plan on buying it over the summer and taping all the episodes, to replace my current collection, in which I'm missing at least half a dozen episodes of the original 65 (I don't have any TGC). And I originally tried to tape out the commercials to fit six eps on a tape. As a result, the episodes are all very choppy.

Sevarius Jr> That sucks about Buffy. I don't watch the show, but I can definitely identity with the situation. At my school, someone joked around with some friends about the shootings, someone told the administration, and he was suspended!

Quickies while I'm waiting for my laundry to be done.

Wilek> Yep, the media is insane. As for "Kindred: The Embraced" I got hooked on it when it started, and after its first and only season ended, was really disappointed. Melrose Place gets seven years of airtime and "Kindred" gets killed after one season? There is no justice. (Of course, the reason it was never renewed is because the lead was killed in a motorcycle crash a few years ago...)

Coyote> <<Yes, I've read all of the Landover books (except "The Tangle Box" ... never got a chance to read
it, but I did read all the others including "Witches' Brew.").>> "The Tangle Box" was all right. << Truth be told, I started reading them in junior high school ...*shuffles feet** and I do confess to having somewhat of a crush on Willow. >> Don't be embarrassed about it. I've had similar crushes before. :)

Pat Robertson>> Lately, I've been wondering if I have been ripping on Patty too much lately. Especially since I get picked on alot too. But too damn easy! And there's soo many good reasons:

He's a lunatic>> I think I know what you're probably thinking: Wait a minute Robertson's not a bigoted lunatic. He's a reverend who went to Yale law school. I suppose you might be right. I suppose that faith healing stuff on the 700 Club is pretty mainstream. Don't get me wrong, I DO believe in such things as telepathy and stuff like that. It's just that I believe that at least half of the people who claim to have thes abilities are lying. People or either too willing to believe or "too polite" to thouroughly interregate these people.

He's sexist>> In a fund raising letter sent to Iowans, Pat Robertson said the the feminism was not about equal right for women but it was a communist, anti-family movement to have women leave their husbands, kill their childern, practice witchcraft and become lesbians.

He' anti-semitic>> Robertson believes that Jews are conspiring to take over the world. Personally, I don't understand anti-semitism. Jesus Christ was a Jew, as many of his followers. Together they created Christianity. So doesn't that mean that Christianity is a type of reformed Judism?

He's the spawn of Satan>> People think that because he's a revrend, he must be a good guy. So what? Mary Manson went to Catholic school and look how he turned out.

If the Quarrymen ever had a spokesman, it would be Pat Robertson.

SEVARIUS JR. - Actually, they showed the real reason why Bruce Wayne gave up being Batman at the very beginning of the first episode; when one of the criminals that he was fighting decided to take advantage of his heart attack, he (Bruce) frantically picked up a gun to scare him off, and afterwards was so utterly horrified by violating his own "no guns" taboo as to decide to give up the life.

Green Baron: Oh, I'd love to see Pat Buchanan run again! I think George Carlin said it best: "I like to watch Pat Buchanan because I'd like to see his neck explode. I used to watch Mike Ditka for the same reason."

Wilek: Yeah, I know it's Angela. I think she'd want to see it just because he would look really funny doing a pole-dance. I imagine he would be extremely uncomfortable. Moving stiffly, just not "into" it. He'd probably be clumsy because he's looking around for an excuse to leave ... hehehe. I dunno. I just thought it would be amusing.

Wait--I've got a better idea for another stripper: Hudson.

Oh, almost forgot: I've got a Shameless Plug ... kinda, sorta. Well, not really. Actually, it's one of my older stories, "Sit on my Interface." I fixed some spelling mistakes and corrected one line referring to Purgatory's age. I had the idea that she was from Goliath's generation, but she's actually Hudson's age. (She appears to be in her mid-thirties because of a side-effect of the cloning process ...) May not seem like a big deal, but there's a plot point coming up that required me to straighten this out.

Sevarius Jr. is fumbling nervously with the Pokeballs that Argent has given him. "Let's see, which one to use....." SJ tosses a pokeball.....and a Psyduck pops out.
"Psy Duck?" the squat little fowl asks quizzically.
"Aw crap, that's my own personal pokemon...Um, I'll try this one. Pikachu, I choose you!"
SJ tosses the Pokeball, and instantly a cute little yellow Pikachu emerges. It has a fierce look (or as fierce as those cute little guys get), and stares determinedly at one of the Wicked Tribe. "Pikachu, thunder shock, now!" SJ calls.
"Piiiiii kaaaaa CHU!!!!!" the creature cries out, and unleashes a powerful electric bolt which fries the flying monkey, setting its fur on end.

Excellent episode today. Although the focus was kind of more on the villain, Inque, I didn't mind, because she certainly is interesting. I found it very sad that the man who was helping her, and seemed to care for her (don't remember his name) was so utterly used by her. I just wish that more of her background could have been divulged before they offed her (or seemingly killed her off). Also, I LOVED it when Bruce came out of retirement to don the new--and improved--bat suit. He looked cool as all hell, and he still had a few moves on him. I just can't wait till the truth as to why he hung up his tights is revealed. I have my suspicions that it involved the untimely demise, or at least the grievous injury, of either Robin or Nightwing, and that somehow Bruce is or thinks he is responsible for it. Great show.
And Superman was cool today too. They finally showed the Aquaman episode!
****END BATMAN BEYOND SPOILERS****

Bad News Buffy Fans: It looks as if the season finale may be postponed, because it deals with the Ascension, and Buffy and the gang have to arm themselves to stop it. Oh my God! Teenagers with weapons! It must be Littleton all over again! *Sigh* It's always wonderful to know that in this world of constant change, studios will continue to keep their heads firmly placed up their rectums.

Sean Connery: Welcome! Didn't know you were a Gargoyles fan!
BTW, ever play the Sean Connery Cheese game? Some local deejays came up with it. It's even dumber than "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon". The point of the game: Name a Sean Connery movie, then name a type of cheese, all the while doing a Sean Connery impression. Sound stupid? Makes no sense? That's the point! Trust me, the game is SOOOOOO funny when you're drunk. By the time you reach the the 11th or 12th film, and start to run out of cheeses, you'll be laughing your ass off.

***RESUME RP****
"I've got a way to get us out of this!" Scarecrow shouts to SJ. "But I'll need your help!"
SJ uses his Golem pokemon to bash a monkey out of his way. "You got it! What do I do?"
"See that big one!" Scarecrow pointed to the largest of the winged simians, the large one that had been their leader and had spoken to the heroes. "We need to grab him. He's the alpha male. We capture him, the others will stop fighting!"
"Easier said than done. Okay, let's give it a shot. Kari! Wilek! Everyone! Try to take down the big guy, but be careful, we just wanna capture him, not fry his monkey behind--although I certainly would love to! Ready? GO!!!"
And with that, the heroes all set their sights on the large primate, who bares its fangs in preparation for battle....

RP WARNING!!
**Belfast, Northeren Ireland
The Orange Duke is in a simpel undecorated church with teh evil Rev. Ian Paisley. Ian pushes a button releasing an orange painted image of Oliver Cromwell with two small horns protruding from his head and hooves in place of feet. Both "men" prostrate themselves before the statue as two orange horns protrude from their heads an dtehir own flesh becomes Orange. They then speak.
"O Grand Ayatolla Cromwell. We have started the Orange Hand in Memphis. Your own offshoots, the Congregationalists shall spearhead the effort. Ted Turner has been recruited by your servant Gothemenes and the insipid Green baron and those disgusting scouts shall fall. Your puppetts will take over the Hated Church and reduce the Eucharist to a symbolic event while having the clergy switch from vestments to plainclothes and then they will be forced to marry. Then we will put an end to their idolatry to Mary as your master so desires."

The two get up an dresume their human disguises as they leave the church.**
PAUSE RP!!

Hope nobody was too offended by this RP. Yes, the Orange Duke is that type of Orange.

Good news. I have just finished exams. Whoppee!! I ahve no class until June 1, so now I just go to work and read fanfic. Life has becoem so much nicer :)

Even better news> I hope no one grumbles, but i actually liek my job interning for a stockbroker. Well, Frdiay, teh Founder of Scottsdale Securities, Robert Riney, arrived at the Offcie with his son all teh way from St. Louis. He and his son are looking for Colleges and their first stop was Tulane University, which is next to Loyola. The boss is a really nice guy and similar to Fred Smith (the founder of FedEx)in demeanor. Before he left, he personally thanked me for my service to Scottsdale. On a funnier note, afte rthe big boss arrived, a Vice President called up my Manager asking if anyone walked in.

Entity> WB. Yep, I caught it. It was good to see The Journey. It actually surprises me that so many eductaed middle class people would fall fo rthe demagougery. Usually it's the impoverished undeucated masses that fall for the hate mongering and/or share-the-wealth crap spouted by the likes of Castaway, Jackson, Sharpton, and Huey Long. I definitely liked seeing Elsia in that gown again :)

Pistoff and Tim P> You should see teh way Saturday Night Live rips on Robertson, especially during the 88 primaries. I doubt he is anything more than some annoying rich guy now. I wish I could say the same for Jesse Jackson, though. Now, he scares me big time. I always thought it would be funny to see Pat Buchanan and Jesse Jackson run on a ticket of anti-free trade and picketing with the Unions whenever a business wants to be more productive. At least Buchanan is another joke like Robertson, or that jerk Harkin.

WB Lawrence. Did you ever look at that site I showed you.

Kyrvyn> I hope your wedding goes well and your honeymoon goes even better :)

Mary> Prozack?? If your shrink recommends it, I guess it's oaky. Hopefully, it will make you feel better, but not out-of-it.

Christine> I remember those cartoons in my youth, along with Thundercats, Inspector Gadget, Count Duckula, and of course Danger Mouse. I loved that cartoon. Penfold was my favorite, and no my OL name has nothing to do with Baron Sials Greenback, though he was pretty cool, though my favorite villain was El Loco :)

Mandi> I had a paper on why to invest in AOL. It was six pages long, while most where 10+ pages long. I hope I didn't do too badly on that. Some teachers give at least an 80 for turning it in ::crosses fingers::

Pistoff and Lexy> What they did to that girl really sucks. I would never do that, though I do get a little irritated when they mess up my order. I just come back and politely tell them they got it wrong and then I thank them once they get it right.

Angela Nukem> How about in the end, she visits Demona who's giving a very generous tip to Fred the Pizza Guy :)

Guns> I don't think a killer would get a gun legally, since it would be a hassle and it would be traced to him/her very easily, except at a gun show. Of course, teh guns used were illegeal, and if teh current gun laws were enforced, like prosecuting every kid who brings one to class, not just 6 out of 3,000, there wouldn't be this problem. One of teh killers brought a gun to school the last week. In my HS, a kid had a gun in his backpack and he was expelled that same day. As for having a gun beforee you can drink, I think teh drinking age should be lowered to 16 anyway. Most anti-drinking laws were originally used as an excuse to dump on the Irish and the attitude we have about alchohol may be one factor to the wide rate of alchoholism, while France has very little and little kids drink there.

SaoceBalls> I loved that movie, personally. Mel Brooks is hillarious. It's amazing what he can get away with in his movies.

**enters, switches out the candles again, then sits down promptly.**

Well now ... interesting day for me, to say the least. But I'm glad it's over ... and no, I'm not going into detail, so don't ask. :)

SJ: **taps foot impatiently** Okay, dude, just *why* exactly do you not like the Wings? Is it just because we walloped the Caps in last year's finals, or something else? (Incidentally, last night's win means that the Wings have set a new team record for consecutive playoff wins with 10, dating back to Game 6 with Dallas last year. :)

Bruce Campbell: Uhmm ... did everyone forget that he in fact *was* in the original Evil Dead? I know this for a fact, because him, Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert made it as a student film at Michigan State University.

Tim: Cute story there. :)

Jaden: Good luck. That goes for *EVERYONE* taking finals this coming week!

Pistoff: I managed to get a decent pose for G&E done this evening ... it looks like it would seem in place on a show car (typical kind of posing) ... to tell the truth, I *really* like this one, as soon as I get a scanner running around here I'm puttin' it up to show. Let's just say that I came up with a pose for Elisa that stays in character with her but at the same time will make all those guys with the fantasies *drool.* :)

Entity: Nice to see ya 'round these parts, man.

Mandi: I completely forgot! Yes, I've read all of the Landover books (except "The Tangle Box" ... never got a chance to read it, but I did read all the others including "Witches' Brew."). Truth be told, I started reading them in junior high school ... **shuffles feet** and I do confess to having somewhat of a crush on Willow.

Hi all. Been a while. :)

DS9> I agree that it rips off Babylon 5, but whether or not it was an intentional, overt attempt I am not so sure. Star Trek doesn't seem to me to be the type of franchise to steal other's ideas. Although the last few episodes of DS9 have been VERY blatent rip-offs of Babylon 5, in the way the story is being told. The episodes have all been interlinked, one leading into another, like a running soap opera... much like B5. It doesn't really bother me, though. On the contrary, with no more B5 to watch, I've welcomed this new form of storytelling by DS9.

Gargoyle Commercial> Has anyone seen that car commercial where the car is being chased by a gargoyle? I *loath* that commercial! It makes gargs look like evil abominable demons. Even if I weren't a fan of "Gargoyles", I'd be ticked at the lack of historical accuracy -- everyone knows RL gargoyles were meant to ward off evil.

Toon Disney> Any fellow non-ToonDisney-having people catch the sneak peak on The Disney Channel last night? It might've only been in my area, I dunno. But the point is: I saw "The Journey"! The last time I saw that episode was almost three years ago! It was a treat; much better than I remembered it being...

Well, that's about it, I suppose. Looks like I missed some sorta wacky survey. *shrug* I'll catch the next one. ;)

As promised, here comes the latest installment of Angela Nukem ...

Sekhmet stumbles through the main room of Tannhauser Gate (the nightclub from G2K, for those who don't know :), gasping for breath, fur bristling all over. A half-dozen were-cheetahs follow her. The people in the club, who by now are used to mingling with gargoyles, mutants, clones and cyborgs, pay no attention to the new arrivals.

But they notice Angela when she storms in, loaded with huge guns. They scatter like pigeons.

Sekhmet screeches. Her were-cheetahs charge Angela, who just snorts and shakes her head.

"Nice try." She mows several of them down with the full-auto shotgun. Chunks of furry, wet meat fly everywhere. "Heh heh heh, what a mess!"

Jon Castaway, having been sent here to be a waitor as punishment for his crimes, zigs when he should've zagged, and catches 60 iron flechettes in the face and chest.

"Oops!" Angela shrugs. "No great loss."

Sekhmet and the remaining were-cheetahs run like hell, heading for the stairs at the back of the room. Angela follows, taking out a couple of pipe bombs. Sekhmet makes it though the door at the top of the stairs, and frantically begins trying the doors in the hallway. Some are locked, but she opens one and runs in.

It's a storage room. Filled with propane tanks. She shrieks and doubles back, sees Angela coming up the stairs, turns and continues to run.

Angela grins and waves the pipe bombs around. "Here, kitty-kitty!"

The surviving were-cheetahs scatter. Two of them run into the storage room with the propane tanks. Angela tosses a pipe bomb into the room and closes the door, runs down the stairs, and pulls her remote control out of her pocket.

"How do ya like yer ribs?" She presses the button, and the resulting explosion blows the roof off. "Holy $h!t!!"

She climbs the stairs and searches what's left of the upper floor. The rest of the were-cheetahs are crushed under chunks of the ceiling and roof. Sekhmet is pinned under a fallen wall. Angela lifts the wall off of her ... and pulls out a set of hair clippers.

"Time for a trim!"

"Nooooooooooooooooooo!"

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!! ...

"Wow, you're real funny-lookin' when yer all nekkid!"

Sekhmet just whimpers.

"There are probably lots of reasons why I shouldn't blow you away." Angela switches to her pump-action 10-gauge. "But I can't think of any right now." She jams the barrel into Sekhmet's mouth. "Eat $h!t and die!"

BLAMMO!

"Rockin'!"

Hi all, long time no see.

I'mreally happy to see that "Blood Moon" got such good reviews.

**** WARNING BEAST WARS SPOILERS *****

I must say that "Nemesis" part 2 was one of the BEST series finales I've ever seen. I haven't had a rush like this since "Sleeping in Light" and "Hunter's Moon" for a final ep.

Megatron rocked in this episode. I especially liked his "I am Alpha and Omega" speech. And his fight with Optimus. I'd say that Megs won the fight, since Op only got one hit on our favorite robot dragon. And when he calliously killed Inferno and Quickstrike, it was a good insight on how evil he was.

I'm also impressed that they didn't cheapen the original Dinobot's death at all in this ep, when Dinobot II turned on Megatron and sacrifised himself to stop him.

I was surprised at the death of Tigerhawk. He was introduced two eps before, but it worked really well.

Optimus's stand reminded me of the orignal Optimus Prime, when he had his final duel with the original Megatron before the former died and the latter became Galvatron.

And the end of the ep was great and I loved seeing Megatron chained to the hull of the shuttle.

And of course: "Waspinator happy at last"

I give the ep a 9/10.

If anyone wants to see the infamous missing scene from the ep where Optimus returns G1 Megatron's spark that was cut from the ep click on my name.

Kyryn: Congrats!!! Good luck to the both of ya. :)

Deuce: Thanks for the offer, but I've already tracked them down and started their prolonged torment. A few days ago I parked in front of a grocery store and realized their car was parked next to my truck. The guy who was driving at the time of the Burger King incident was standing on the passenger side this time, waiting for his buddy to unlock the door from the inside. So I opened my door and slammed it into the son of a bitch as hard as I could, then I pretended that I hadn't seen him. "Oops! Oh, gee, I'm sorry, I didn't see you there! Are you okay?"

I spotted them a few minutes later in the store and "accidentally" rammed my shopping cart into the scumbag. "Oopsie! I'm so clumsy ..." Hehehe

Payback's a bitch, isn't it? :)

SJ: Ah, you liked screwing with people, eh? heh. I dunno, maybe I would've been amused if I didn't work in a similar job. But as it is, I've been putting up with this kind of crap all day, every day, for the past four and a half years. The revenge tactics I posted earlier are used for just that--revenge. I never start picking on anybody. Making some poor minimum-wage buger-flipper burst into tears isn't my idea of fun. People who get off on that are just sadistic.

JackaL: Loved the retarded $h!t. Great stuff!

Doug and Zath: Glad you're enjoying the Angela Nukem bits. I'll have another one later today. It'll be difficult to top the last one. :)

Zath: Love the idea about the disk. I'll keep that in mind ....


Coyote: The mural on your hood sound really cool. If you're centering it on Goliath and Elisa, the main image should probably be the "kiss" at the end of Hunter's Moon. Or maybe the two of them dancing in "Eye of the Beholder."

Tim P: Yikes! Pat Robertson is one scary bastard. Hmm. Maybe somebody can put him in a Duke Nukem Total Conversion ...

Wilek: Yes, there are some levels of DN that take place during the day. But we can always give Angela an amulet like the ones in "The Green." Or we can use the plot gimmick from my own series--a nanotech virus that alters gargoyle DNA enough to prevent them from turning to stone at sunrise.

*creeps in*

I'm baaaaaack!!! (hehehe) I went to my shrink yesterday (note how casually I say it) and due to circumstances in my life, we both decided that I needed to be put on antidepressents. It's not like I'm feeling suicidal or anything like that, I'm just feeling like "To Hell with everything and everyone!" and gloomy and the good things that do happen to me aren't making me feel any better. Not something to be going through a month before finals. I can't afford to do badly on my finals just because of how I'm feeling. But the funny thing is what antidepressent drug she's putting me on. Prozac!!!! She's putting me on that perticular drug because then I don't have to worry about the weight gain like with the other drugs offered. AND I'VE GAINED ENOUGH WEIGHT SINCE I QUIT BALLET!!!!!!! :P

****Warning Spoilers****Warning Spoilers*****
Beast Wars> I've only seen the first part of Nemisis, if our station isn't punks about it, we'll get the second part tomorrow. In a nutshell, the Maximals have the upper hand and the Predecons are out a base and Tarantulus. But Megatron is counting on Tarantulus's treachery and finds one of the T-man's hidey holes. In it there's a submarine/subway that takes Megatron, Dinobot 2 and Rampage to the Nemesis, the Decepticon's battlecruise. Refurbished and operational thanks to the departed Tarantulus and ready to go.
Being the only Maximal that's water capable, Depth Charge follows to stop them. He finds Ramage instead and in a climatic bout that ranks right up there with Optimus Prime and Megatron's last battle in Transformers: The Movie. Depth Charge destroys Rampange and the humunogous explosion takes him out as well. It looks like Depth Charge succeeded in stopping Megatron, when the Nemesis rises out of the ocean. Then the three most dreaded and hated words arose. To be Continued. AHHHH!

Though what this dragon wants to know is how are they going to keep continuity. As any hardcore TF fan can tell you, the original Decepticon ship was buried in Central America somewhere. Not in the ocean. And will Waspinator become the first of the Insecticons encountered in the second season of TF. Who knows?

Weapons against the Unseelie> Some of them I can see, but not the carpet bombing. Since Madoc's powers are on par with Oberon's, if he saw the planes coming, what's to keep him from creating a windshearing microburst to crash the planes or ice the wings. And projectile weapons only work if they hit the target. It reminds me of the Legend of Zelda where you may have the weapons to defeat Ganon, but first you have to see where to shot. That's my take on it anyway.

Robby re: Star Wars> <<I'll probably have a good time when I see it, I see movies to have fun.>> Exactly! Don't these people bitching about the movie realize that having fun is the POINT of seeing movies??

On the topic of bomb threats and paranoia> I suppose JEB knows about this by now, but for everyone else: the MSPAP testing scheduled in most MD schools on Monday has been cancelled. Why? There's been rampant rumors about bomb threats this Monday. It started out as a "Day of Reckoning" Internet rumor targeting three Harford County high schools (my old HS included), and next thing I know the six o'clock news is reporting the MSPAP is being cancelled statewide, since schools figure parents will be too afraid to let their kids go to school. Well, now that the local news has reported it, I guess so! Way to contain the panic, folks...Then again, I wouldn't be going Monday either for that very reason.

Steve Gooch> <<Now they're saying coffee is bad for you.>> I suppose coffee wasn't ever that great for one's health, but if anyone wants to preach the dangers of caffeine, they should be forced to deal with college finals before they can open their mouth. I think when I get home, I'm going cold turkey on caffeine for a little while; I'll be sluggish as anything, but Mom will be at work and I have a week of peace and quiet until I start my summer job. A friend of mine cut down on caffeine big time this semester and she says it's really paid off; all it takes for her to get wired over finals is a few sips of Coke.

Okay. Gonna get breakfast and get to work. Later, all! :)

Pistoff> This whole Angela Nukem thing looks pretty kewl, even though I don't much like Duke Nukem (I mean, strippers?! Please.)...Click my name to go to the Total Conversions website. I don't think there are any Gargs TCs (although I could be wrong), but the ones that are there look interesting. Note about the ANTC...aren't there a few DN levels that take place during the day?

SJ> <<Kick in the Balkans War Update: Apperently, we (NATO) have *inadvertently* bombed the Chinese embassy over there>> AAAACCCCKKKK!!!! How the <censored> do you INADVERTENTLY BOMB AN EMBASSY? WHAT THE <censored> WERE THEY AIMING FOR?! <<the man is almost Stalinesque in the way he's handling this movie. He's got way too much control over this film.>> Better than the other way around. Look what happened to Gargoyles when creative control was taken from Greg.

Tim P.> What a twisted little story. <g> <<Truth is, I'm not all that well in the head.>> This should be the CR's official slogan (motto, whatever). :D

JackaL> <<Is it possible to cut a vein and NOT go to the hospital, like in the wrist>> [Wilek starts to say something...then decides he doesn't want to know.]

**RESUME RP!**

[Wilek mows down several Wicked Tribe creatures with his chaingun, then throws a capture net over one of them--a net which the simian proceeds to rip apart. Wilek: "Oh, shoot! I need to take one of these things alive, to interrogate it!" Argent: "I have just the thing! Jewel*D, ICE!" The draco uses its ice breath to encase one of the monkeys in ice from the neck down, immobilizing it. Despite this, the remaining primates keep coming. Wilek: "These things just don't know when to quit, do they?" Scarecrow: "As you said, they are *quite* savage. But you still should have allowed me to attempt negotiation!" Wilek: "Sorry..."]

Zath: Yeah, I know that argument but the point I was trying to make (but didn’t make myself clear) was that if you’ve got potential-murderer x on convictions of gaining a gun illegally then your short-list when someone in the area gets shot through the head is likely to be is considerably smaller.

Robby: That sounds like… A long-awaited Vinnie episode? I can but hope! :)

Jaden: Yes, I do. Someone was telling me once about the odd timeline of what could happen in America under US laws… I forget it exactly but it basically involved this guy married with kids and with a gun before he could even drink! It was quite a funny story by the way it was told, but it did have a point to it...

Beastwars- Can someone tell me what happened on the final episode? I don't get a chance to see it much and I'd like to find out what happened.

Guns-Does anyone find it odd that young people cannot legally drink or smoke, but they can hold and shoot guns?

Well wish me luck on finals (I need it). See ya later!

Jackal>> The Eisenhower interstate system requires that one mile in every five must be straight. These straight sections are usable as airstrips in times of war or other emergencies.

Alot of the interstates where we live are like this, along with a few missile silos. There are also quite a few military bases around here, including the 185th Fighter squadron Iowa Air National Guard, 133rd Cavalry Iowa Army National Guard, Offuit AFB and a Marine Corps Reserve base in Omaha, Nebraska. All within an hour's drive. Offuit is neat because it's where Strategic Air Command is based. Although most of it's personnell is Air Force, it also people from the Navy, Army, and Marines. It's freaking HUGE!!! It's practially its own city.

Christine: My favorite show when I was little... well, young, was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I onced even dressed up as Leonardo for Halloween.

Since I have been visiting this Comment Page, I've noticed alot of short, ridiculous stories within the postings. This is another one. But this one offers practical information. It's something I did for a literature assignment that out teacher never asked us to turn in. So, now I get to share it with you. It's a satirical story about society. It's the only way I know of these days that a white, Christian male can give an honest opinion on society without being accussed of being racist (like Pat Robertson), anti-semitic (like Pat Robertson), sexist (like Pat Robertson) lunatic (like Pat Robertson). Enjoy!

THE MODERN DAY FAIRY TALE
Some where in the Florida Keys, an executive was spending the weekend fishing. He catches an Arab-looking bottle on his hook. He saw something inscribed on the bottle and rubbed off some of the mud with his hand to read it.

Then suddenly, a large billow of blue smoke shot out of the bottle and formed ito a large, blue, silly looking genie.

"Ah-ha!" cried out the genie in Robin Williams voice, "You have freed the Genie of the Lamp, and now you must die!"

After recovering out of his initail shock, the fisherman looked down and read the lable on the bottle:

SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Rubbing or wipping this lamp with your bare hands can be dangerous to you health. If you went ahead and did it before you read this label, you're screwed.

"But, why?" aske the bewildered fisherman, "Why me, and not someone who deserves it, like Pat Robertson, or Leonardo DiCaprio, or that guy who created "Barney the Dinosaur?"

"Because you mortals are unable to deal with such great powers. And when man does, it only leads to chaos and woe, as evidenced in "Frankenstein" "Species" and "Tommy Boy."

"I'm afraid I don't follow," aske the confused man.

"Truth is, I'm not all that well in the head." admitted the Genie.

"How could you be so cruel?" the man asked.

"It was easy," said the Genie, "Back when I worked for the militant wing of the Christian Colalition, I ruined more lives than the IRS. Now, do you have any last request?"

"Yes," the man said, "Give me 30 minutes." And at the end of that comment, he whipped out his cell-phone and hit the auto-dialer.

Little did the Genie know, that the fisherman was Disney CEO Micheal Eisner. Within a few minutes, the entire area was surrounded by small army of lawyers and police officers.

One of their leaders, presumably their leader, walked up to the genie and handed him a piece of paper. "Your being sued for copyright infringement as stated in Article 7, Paragraph 26 blah blah blah..."

Then a police officer aproached the genie and said. "You are under arrest for threatening a rich, white person."

As the genie was being escorted away by police, Micheal Eisner leaned over to him and said, "We both know that energy is energy, weither created by science or sorcery. However, real power is money, weither it's gold or U.S. currency"

In case you haven't guessed, Pat Robertson scares me.

Please don't sue me.

Hey all!

I'm in a very happy mood right now. Why? you ask. Well, I'll tell you. Today was Slope Day, the last day of classes here at CU, when everyone cuts class and chills out on the big hill between the West Campus dorms and the quad(s). There's music, festivites, and most of all...BE- uh... hmm... there's young'uns about, aren't there... uh.. er... "alcoholic refreshment." Yeah, that's it. Basically everybody with a CU ID had a license to drink today. Didn't matter how old you were, the cops didn't confiscate anything but glass bottles. Forget about IDing people, there wouldn't be enough cells in Ithaca to hold them all. :) Most of the people I know were hammered by noon. I caught up around 6 PM :) Anyway, as soon as I'm done posting to the CR I'm gonna go hit up the party down the hall and propose a toast.

A toast? To whom? Well, to Mr. Robert North of the Bronx, that's whom. That's the sonofabitch that decked me at paintball last August - 9 months ago tomorrow in fact. Why am I toasting his good-for-nothing keister? Well, because he was ARRAIGNED today! Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!!!! Oh, man, that was a long time in coming ^_^ Hopefully, he'll get a lengthy... ah, ehll, who am I kidding? He'll plea-bargain down to community service. I can only hope that the service in question involves some kind of hazardous materials. I'll drink to that!

Now, for some replies...

The gun debate > Seems pretty dead, so I'll leave it alone. I've said all I needed to on the AQDT message board anyway.

It seems I never commented on "Blood Moon." Well, to rectify that, I'd like to tell all those involved that it was a kickass episode, especially for the mega-action fan within me. More action! More action! :)

SJ > <Besides, ED 2 had Bruce Campbell in it, so it was already much cooler ;)> Well, *anything* with Bruce Campbell in it is already cooler. And thanks for the time slot for The Rock... unfortunately I checked the CR just about 10 minutes too late to see it... Oh well, I've seen it about 18 times already... Which reminds me, I've got to start working on that novelization again. Maybe over the summer.

And the Chinese Embassy... Man, all those buildings look the same from up there, and you can't exactly pick out the big red star through the lens of a camera-guided bomb. Still, it's bad news, even coming on the heels of the release of the POWs and the NATO/Russian deal.

Robby > Congrats that "Midsummer" went off so well! Believe me, I know how stressful big shows like that can be. Damn, I woulda liked to see that one though...

Wilek > <does Emperor Palpatine remind anyone else of Adolf Hitler?> One quote: "Wipe them out. All of them"

Twin-bladed lightsabers: I wrote a Star Wars story about, oh, five years ago, in which the main villain used an identical weapon. Then I picked up a copy of Dark Horse Comics' Sith war series and saw Exar Kun using... a double-bladed lightsaber. It was quite weird at first glance, then my reaction turned to one of "Ah, man, my IDEA!!!" :) So Darth Maul's weapon in the movie wasn't really a surprise to me - but it will be cool as hell to watch. (I never did finish that story, thank heavens - it was horrible. I've done much better since then). Overall, I've found that in the Star Wars novels and movies, the capabilities of the lightsaber as an intrusion device are blatently overlooked - something I've tried to rectify in my own writings. I mean, if you've got a blade that can cut (almost) ANYTHING, wouldn't YOU use it to make mincemeat out of all the pesky walls and blast doors that're standing between you and that command center?

<Anyone ever hear of Total Conversions?> Oh, man, now you've got me thinking about a Gargoyles TC or mod for Quake 2... Damn, now THAT would rock. Now if only I could code... [no! no! get those creativity demons out of your head until you've finished those term papers!]

Pistoff > The idea of a full-auto shotgun intrigues me as well. Just something about ten 12-gauge shells going off in less than 2 seconds, launching hundreds of razor-sharp flechettes 100 meters... oooooohhhhhhh..... (Although my favorite gun would probably go the the HK53A3).

Gyre > <a barrage of improved conventional munitions is fired> ICM baby! All the way! Damn, I'd love to write up a NATO siege of the Brocken, that'd just be too sweet.

Kaioto > Good take on Madic & the Illuminati. <I can have my multi-billion dollar Cold War fueled weapons, OK? :P> Oh contraire... We're going through with building a space-based anti-ballistic missile laser defense system. Interesting specs on the satellites they're planning on putting up - giant lasers and reflecting mirrors, able to knock out the rogue North Korean ICBM... I always thought ADI should never have been cancelled - I mean, the USSR went right ahead with breaking the ABM treaty anyway.

Aaron > <There are also a few other full-auto shotguns. One's called the SPAS-12> The Franchi SPAS-12 is semi-automatic. You don't have to pump it, depending on the load it's carrying. But I don't think it's full-auto. And the Ithaca shotty... hehehe...

DS9 vs. B5 > I always hated DS9. Maybe one out of every ten episodes of that wretched show were viewable for me. B5, however, could always hold my attention, simply because the plot was so much more intricate. I would've been happy had they ended the latter series after the FIRST finale, as the fifth season was pretty hard to watch.

Ahh.. all right, I'm all caught up for now. Gonna go toast Mr. North, get plastered for the third time today, and try to wake up by Tuesday. 'Night all!

*****BEGIN RP*****
The Wicked Tribe of Flying Monkeys, seeing the arrival of Wilek and his gang, take it as an act of aggression. With a primal scream, they erupt into battle, eagerly beginning an attack on the heroes.
The Hounds, always ready to fight, leap at some nearby monkeys and sink their jaws into the mangey hides. Kari fends off one of the beasts with her spear, using her enhanced strength to toss another from off her shoulders. Sevarius Jr., unfortunately caught without a weapon, was wrestling with one monkey on the ground. Scarecrow, his straw body and thin frame suprisingly strong, was holding his own against another primate, using his hands to push the muzzle of the beast away from his face.
"Well, you've done it now!" he screamed at SJ, who barely moved out of the way in time to escape the canine-like jaws of his simian opponnent.
"ME?" SJ grunted. "I didn't do anything!"
"I assume those are your friends that showed up, right? Well congratulations, you've just pissed off the Wicked Tribe. They'll hunt us to the end, IF we survive the next few minutes!"
"They didn't seem too friendly to begin with--OWWW! Quit trying to bite me!"
"I could have talked them out of it..." Scarecrow muttered.
SJ absentmindedly heard Wilek shouting something like 'get your paws off me, you damn dirty apes!', but then his hand came across a nearby weapon--a rock, about the size of his fist. Grabbing the stone, he brought it down like a hammer upon the cranium of the monkey. With a solid thump, the rock connected, and the monkey fell limp and unconscious to the ground. SJ brushed off his clothing. "Man, I hope these things are rabid." But his thoughts were cut short as another monkey eagerly took the other's place....
***END SPOILERS****

Whew! I wrote a 12 page term paper, practically from scratch yesterday. Only took me about 10 hours to do it, too. NEVER AGAIN. I hope and pray that I pass this English course, cause if I do, I will never have to take another one ever again. Hear me? NO MORE English composition courses ever. I'll cry if I don't pass.

Kick in the Balkans War Update: Apperently, we (NATO) have *inadvertently* bombed the Chinese embassy over there. WONDERFUL. As if we don't have enough problems, let's piss off the Chinese. A nation that only has about a billon people, many of whom could most likely be drafted into an army to kick our ass. Can anybody in NATO shoot straight? Everybody's whining about how video games teach kids to kill. Maybe we should have the NATO pilots practice with X-Wing: Rogue Squadron for N64 until they can hit a womp rat with smart bombs.

JackaL: Interesting fact--I believe that Coca Cola originally started as a cough syrup, one that was particularly popular because it contained codeine. Hence the name COKE-ca cola. Of course, they changed the recipe a little, added carbonated water, dropped the fun powder...BTW, you just can't seem to escape dead puppies can you? ;)

Doug: WINNER, WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER!!!!! **SJ drives up in a semi, pulling a trailer containing a cyber-cookie the size of a Buick* Yes, my good man, Tad Williams IS the man whom I am currently plagiarizing. I'm sort of taking my current RP storyline from his second novel in the Otherland books, "River of Blue Fire". Although his version of Oz was more post-apocalyptic, and far more disturbing...

BTW, I'd like to encourage everyone to give Tad William's "Otherland" series. The only books out now are "City of Golden Shadow", and "River of Blue Fire." They're more of a sci-fi approach than he usually writes, but they're quite good, especially if you're looking for an interesting view of what the future might be. They both have great characters (Paul Jonas and Sweet William are my faves), and Williams does an amazing job of making everything flow evenly, even though the books are each over 600 pages.

Star Wars: I don't know what is wrong with me but....I almost want this movie to fail. Possibly because I've just recently heard what Lucas is making the poor theatre folk and the media do just to please him....the man is almost Stalinesque in the way he's handling this movie. He's got way too much control over this film. I promise, when I make my first movie, I'll be a much easier going guy! ;) Oh well. This time next week I hope to be writing a review for Black Mask with Jet Li. Now that looks like an awesome flick!

Spaceballs Quotes:
*Dark Helmet and Lone Starr are fighting with their "lightsabers". Dark Helmet pauses.*
"Wait! There is something you must know about us, Lone Starr! I am your fathre's cousin's uncle's brothers roommate from college!"
*Lone Starr pauses* "So what does that make us?"
"Absolutely nothing!"
*Resumes fighting*

Yogurt, to Lone Starr and Barf: "Merchandising, merchandising, merchandising! We got the Spaceballs t-shirt, the Spaceballs lunch box, the Spaceballs flamethrower!" *Ignites flamethrower, sending a large stream of flame into the air* "The kids love this one."

and WARNING: OFFENSIVE MATERIAL

*Dark Helmet to one of his crew: "What's the matter with you? What are you, an asshole?"
"Yes sir, he is."
"What??"
"Private John Asshole, sir."
"What about him?" *points to another crew member*
"He's an Asshole too, sir. They're all Assholes."
"How many of you are assholes?"
*Crew, in unison* "YO!"
*Dark Helmet, in disbelief* "I'm surrended by Assholes!"

You know, the more I think about it, that movie did have it's moments....

Robby: Thanks for nuking Eurotrash....er, EuroDisney! That was LONG overdue! :)

Coyote: RED WINGS WON?? Must.....control.....anger......
Sorry, I have a long time hatred for the Wings.....but then again, they at least are talented enough to make it to the playoffs. Friggin' Washinton Capitals can't even do that, even after botching the finals last year....

**enters the room doing cartwheels, switches out the candle, then jumps up into the big chair, standing up.**

WINGS WIN! WINGS WIN!!

**composes self, sits down**

Sorry. But it was driving me nuts ... my conflicting fandoms came into play here ... do I watch the end of the Wings-Avalanche game, or do I watch an hour of "Gargoyles" on Disney?!

Fortunately enough, Kirk Maltby ended the game 4 minutes into OT, so I managed to catch a good portion of "Ransom." Kinda disappointing, but hey, it was a Gargs fix. :)

Baby Fey: That is quite a nice way of utilizing "Witchblade." I suppose now when I get the sketch done of the Gargs scene I want to have painted on the hood of my Caddy, everyone'll want a preview now. :)

Milady Arianna: Unfortunately. The NHL is honoring him by having its players wear his number (#3) as a decal on their helmets during the playoffs. It *is* sad, really. :(

Zath: Ah. So I was right *and* wrong. I get it. I think. :)

ReBoot Season 3: By far, the *absolute* best season of any animated series I've ever had the privilege to see ... second only to Gargoyles' season 2, but Gargs had the unfair advantage of four times as many episodes. And hey ... the ending of "End Prog" (before "I Am The Very Model Of A Modern Major General") with Dot and Bob finally getting affectionate gave me flashbacks to "Hunter's Moon 3," except Goliath and Elisa didn't have someone taking their picture. :)

Mandi: You forgot the end of it:
"When will then be now?"
"Soon."

Lexy: **reads survey questions and raises eyebrow** Hmm ... just so happens my favorite college basketball coach's last name is Izzo (Tom, coach of Michigan State). Any relation? I doubt it, but I couldn't resist. :)

Christine, re: "Let's Pretend": ehhh ... I really didn't have a lot of this experience as a kid, being an only child and all. Of course, that might explain why my imagination's so overactive now. :)

Baby Fey again: Any luck contacting Ravyn? Forgive me for seeming antsy ...

Kyryn: Good luck with your wedding ... remember, you promised to let us see pics of those outfits ... I still wanna see Okami's Union Navy uniform. :)

**sigh** Okay, I have to ask ...
I mentioned earlier a pic that I want to have painted on the hood of my Caddy. I'm changing the entire theme of the car (used to be fully Taz), and part of it is that I want a mural covering the hood, similar to what you see on a lot of show cars and lowriders (which I really admire ... can't help it, I picked up my first issue of "Lowrider Monthly" this morning ... just call it claiming my cultural heritage. :). I need some ideas on what to do as the mural. One thing, though ... the mural absolutely *has* to center on Goliath and Elisa. (Part of this conversion is going to be getting a custom license plate for the car: "MAZA 1" or "E MAZA," I haven't decided which yet.) Oh ... and if it gets too expensive, I'll be doing the painting myself. Of course, this is going to be a while off, after I get the base color paint redone. I'm just looking for ideas right now.

Christine- Since I turn 17 in about 2 months I suppose I qualify as a source... When I was little, it was Ninja Turtles vs. Shredder all the way! Of course, I switched beteen favorite turtles for years before finally choosing Raphael as my favorite. before that, I do believe it may have been Mario brothers and Zelda. Hmm.

Doug- I share your opinion on Star Wars. The die hard fans who have actually already seen it or read it, of course they're dissapointed, they're expecting it to be PERFECT, or at the very least, they've waited 12 years since the last one and actually expect it to be like the last one... Whenever you expect that much you're bound to be let down. (Actually, I expected a lot from Fox and the Hound,Lion King and Dragonheart, and almost nothing from Mulan and ended up with a whole lot more... Hmm...) I'll probably have a good time when I see it, I see movies to have fun. (I liked Star Trek Insurrection didn't I?) I don't looks for problems unless they're REAL obvious... Like a few problem areas the Matrix had...

Kyryn- Good luck and much happiness to you.

**BEASTWARS NON-SPOILERS**

After viewing the two part series finale, "Nemesis", I have to say, Beastwars was a very pleasing series, all the way to the final episode. How the characters acted is still true to what they always have been, the ending was climactic, and the villains I cared about got the fates they deserved. The heroes though... What happened to a few of them surprised me, others, not. But more could have been done with them. If I have any problems with this episode, its that it just wasn't long enough since next season the show is getting a total makeover as Beast Machines and several of the main characters are going away... Also, I gotta wonder WHY they upgraded so many characters right before the end? Hmm...

No RP or anything today. I'm feeling pretty drained.

Pistoff> *evil grin* Angela Nukem 3 was the best one yet. <<you can put his name on some porno magazine subscription cards>> I've seen another version of this where you put his name on the cards, but make the address one number off, so he has to try and explain it all to his neighbor. << Fold a 5 1/4" floppy in half and shove it into his 3.5" drive.>> Or you could take a 3.5 disk and bend the metal part outward on either side so when you look at it edge on it looks like an arrow. Put a disk like that in a computer, and it's never coming out. The bent parts squeeze back together while you slide it through the slot and then flare out again once it's inside the machine. Someone was very fond of doing this last year in my computer applications class (no, it wasn't me) and the teacher usually had to deal with one of these at least once a week. <<Carefully pull the labels off the Disney tapes and put them on the porno tapes>> Wouldn't it just be easier to tape directly over the cartoons?

***** BLOOD MOON SPOILERS *****
I just thought of something else to add about Blood Moon. It made me really want to know what happened at the Halloween party because, when Madoc ran into Demona ha was so surprised that he just fried her but, when the Unseelies ran into her this time, they knew that Demona and Dominique Destine were the same person and didn't seem to care. Something must have happened in between, and I have a feeling it was at the missing party.
***** END SPOILERS *****

Timedancer stuff, but no real spoilers> I'm finally catching up on Timedancer. Last night I read Art of War and then Spirits From The Vasty Deep (I'm not sure why, I just did it that way), and I noticed something strange. Even though Art of War was supposed to come after Spirits, Brooklyn's behavior seemed to have more continuity if Art of War came first. Oh well, that's just my $0.02.

Argent > <<Why couldn't they just tell us that in the first place?! >> Yesterday the administration at out school *finally* admitted that the bomb threat for the 10th had been made and now they seem to feel it's real enough to have bomb dogs brought in to search the school Saturday *and* Sunday. I hope to god this is just another hoax.

ED> <<people who would use them to kill are either (a) going to be found out quicker, or (b) aren’t going to be
able to>> I hope this doesn't start a CRwide argument about gun control or anything, but I feel the need to say that it would only be possible to limit guns gotten by *legal* means. If someone is going to commit a murder, I don't think they'd care about having "illegal possession of a weapon" added to their rap sheet too.

Pistoff> <<Mandi: Jelly Bellies????? Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!>> Hey, it was Finals Week. And like I said, it only works with fruit flavors (and mainly on Papa John's pizza).

Wilek> <<So I've noticed! Along with a few others, if I'm not mistaken. Where are they?>> I don't know...maybe the end of the semester's a total bitch for some people, too. (I know I'm not the only one.) Only reason I'm posting here is because my roommate's watching her soap and I can't do any work with the TV on. I'm too tired to argue with her over it anyway...she's leaving for the weekend around six p.m., so I can bide my time... :)

**EYE FOR AN EYE SPOILER**

Jenniren> <<Sata spoke to Brooklyn in Japanese when she didn't want Franmar to know what she was saying. Yet when she spoke in English, the Gate translated for Franmar. Why didn't the Gate translate the Japanese? If the reason it didn't was because Sata's words were meant for Brooklyn and not Franmar, then she could have spoken to Brooklyn in English.>> Er...okay, I wasn't around for the breakdowns that "Eye for an Eye" came out, but I think that Sata would naturally switch to Japanese out of habit--even if English would have sufficed. Then again, since the Gate is initially attuned to Brooklyn, perhaps it would only translate Brooklyn's language--namely, English. <<Also why didn't the Gate translate expressions like 'It drives you crazy' and 'that's par for the course'? It can't be creating a word for word translation, can it? Wouldn't Franmar and Harald hear the Old Norse equivalent of the idiomatic English expression?>> Well, in the case of 'that's par for the course,' maybe there wasn't an Old Norse equivalent. Then again, it could be a primarily word for word translation--hasn't there been confusion over Brooklyn's colloquialisms in the past? Todd? Kathy? <<(My apologies for being semicoherent).>> Uh, were we supposed to be fully coherent in here? If so, I'm in trouble. :)

Yet another Spaceballs quote:
"What the hell am I looking at? When does this happen in the movie?"
"Now. You're looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now is happening now."
"What happened to then?"
"We went past then."
"When?"
"Just now. We're at 'now' now."
"Go back to then!"
"When?"
"Now!"
"Now?"
"Now!"
"I can't."
"Why?"
"We missed it."
"When?"
"Just now."

Okay, I cheated, I have the sound clip of that on my hard drive.... :)

Kyryn> Again, congratulations! And don't stress! :)

Star Wars Movie> I am INTENTIONALLY keeping my expectations neutral. If I get too hyped up for it, anything will be a disappointment. I *am* getting hyped up over "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me."

Christine> Happy anniversary! Hmm, I actually might have a little something for AvMists...**knock on wood** if all goes well, of course.

**Several of Mandi's creativity demons appear, screaming in unison: "MANDI!! WRITE YOUR HONORS PAPER!"**

*sigh* Halfway through lengthwise, 7.5 pages...hopefully, it'll be done by Tuesday...creativity demons are not patient when you put a moratorium on fanfic. :)

**RP WARNINGS**

The screen comes on with an image of several government agents (including FBI, CIA, DIA, Secret Service, MPs, and MIBs) gathering in a briefing room. Kincaid and Agent Tau are standing in front of them. "Good, everyone's here," Kincaid says. "Alright, gentlemen, you all have read the mission files. You know that our purpose is to apprehend and detain the extremely dangerous vigilante militia known as the Black Ravens. Agent Tau here will be in charge. I expect all of you to follow his orders. Good luck, God bless you all." Kincaid leaves as Tau continues the briefing, wondering how he'll ever find a secretary good enough to replace the one whose body Agent Tau stole.

The screen changes to the Astral Plane, where the Ravens are battling the dreadnaught. It roars and strikes at them with its razor-edge claws, the Onslaught is only barely to fend off its blows with sword and shield. "The shoulder cannons and eyebeams don't affect it!" Shauna curses as she tries to man the mech's weapons. "Should I try missiles?" "No," Keith says. "There are two ways to defeat a dreadnaught quickly, according to the AD&D Monstrous Compendium. Either blind it or cut off its tail." "Keith," Doug says, "that book might not be right about real astral dreadnaughts." "Yeah, but isn't it worth a try?" Doug nods and makes the Onslaught step closer to the beast, whacking it upside the head with the mech's shield and then swinging the sword down to in one smooth motion slice off its left arm and tail. The dreadnaught roars, then falls over and slumps dead. "I guess TSR was right about those things," Jammer chuckles as they transform the Onslaught back into a truck. "Yeah," Doug nods. "Surprising. I wonder why they weren't also right about gargoyles." He shrugs and leans back in his seat. As the Ravens continue their journey towards the portal to Colorado, Doug makes a post.

**PAUSE RP**

Hi everyone!! <waves> Guess what. Classes are over, all I have to do now is take care of my finals and I'm done with this semester of school. Huzzah!!!

Fanfic Progress: Still doing "Dragon's Game." Up to the scene of the first battle Jadriel's Army must fight (wargames). Two more scenes and I'll be done with the Academy flashbacks, ready to move events farther ahead in the modern day. The fic will get done faster now that classes are over. Still have to study for and take finals, but they'll be over soon.

Pistoff: Thanks for letting me use the gun, and for posting the continual great Angela Nukem bits. I wish they would do a total conversion of the Duke Nukem game with her as the star. Here's some more suggestions I have for changes they could make:
- Change the strippers into the Trio. Hey, Angela's in there, who else would she want to look at? :)
- The Alien Troopers can be Minions, Captains Halflings, Pig Cops Redcaps, Sentry Drones Wisps, Octabrains Oni, Enforcers Werecheetahs, and Protector Drones (from the Duke Atomic Edition) Whowies. A shee knight on a flying horse will replace the RPV and Coyote 6.0 the Pig Cop tank. The Assault Commanders, Battlelord Sentries, and bosses will each be replaced with their own specific Unseelie. I suggest Loki for the Battlelord, Garlon for the Overlord, Maeve for the Queen, and Madoc for the Cycloid Emperor. We'll also have to bring in new enemies like Yell Hounds, Wendigos, witches, etc.
- There will also be new levels like the Brocken, the Eyrie Building, Maddox Technologies, and so on.
Sound cool?

Star Wars Movie: It's disappointing to a lot of people? That's not surprising. Did people expect it to be perfect, the greatest movie of all time? Well, if they did, they're going to get a cruel reality shock, and that's much better than the satisfaction of their egos IMO. I think the movie will please Lucas's true fans, the people like me and Kitainia who don't care about the movie's nits and disappointments as long as it largely entertained us. It will dissapoint the hardcore fans who think Star Wars can do no wrong and get mad when they see it doing one, as well as the demanding sort who want the movie to be like they want it to be and get mad when it's not. May my fanfic saga never get fans like that.

Deuce: Good luck to you and Catherine. Glad you have someone to make you happy. :)

Gyre: Good ideas for what should be done about the Unseelie. I may use a few of those in my fanfic saga when it comes time for the good guys to battle them in it (this time, the Unseelie will be fighting smart. Of course, they'll probably still lose. :)

Mandi: You're welcome.

Baby Fey: Cool tatoo idea. Hope it doesn't hurt too much when they put it on. Remember, pain can be controlled. You just disconnect it. (Cyber-cookie to whoever can name the movie that line's from.)

Argent: Sorry! Forgot about that. <slaps self>

Kathy: Thanks for the Cinco de Mayo info. We won't celebrate that holiday as much anymore now that we know what it's really about.

**NEW TIMEDANCER SPOILERS**

Even though it felt like filler, I liked the plot of this one. The history and Eye of Odin involvement was also done well. Brooklyn and Sata weren't developed that much, but at least they had good character moments, especially in the second to last scene. This ep was mediocre, but good. I give it 3/5, thumbs up. Hope the next Timedancer is more interesting and at least as good.

**SPOILERS END**

Mel Brooks: I think his films are hilarious. But that's just me, and I don't care enough to debate the point.

Christine: My friends and I usually did GI Joe vs. Cobra or He-man vs. Skeletor. Either was fun.

Kyryn: Good luck with your ceremony. :)

SJ: Tad Williams, maybe? He writes good stuff.

Happy birthday Darrin McGavin!! (If anyone's wondering, he'll be in my next fanfic as the ideal voice for Dragon Academy Headmaster Grahf.)

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

**BACK TO RP**

The Ravens eventually find the portal to Longdale and drive through it, soon reaching the city. "Alright," Doug says. "Now we gotta find the house where those refugees are hiding." Having traced the call earlier, Tricia easily points the way. Unfortunately, Borg Team Rocket arrives at the same instant the Ravens do. "Hey, it's those guys Guod told us to watch out for!" yells Meowth. Doug and Kitainia look at each other and raise their eyebrows as Borg- Jesse and James recite their motto. "Prepare for trouble." "Make it double." "To protect the world from devestation." "To unite all beings in assimilation." "To expunge the evils of truth and love." "To extend our collective to the stars above." "Jesse." "James." "Borg Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light." "Surrender now, or prepare to fight." "Meowth- that's right!" The Ravens groan and draw their weapons, ready to do battle with this latest group of annoying minions of Guod.

I'm in such a good mood. I just picked up my plane ticket to Dallas. In fact, I'm in such a good mood... DC, C'mere!

DC tries to make himself scarce, but to no avail.

Jeez, DC. Didn't I say I was in a good mood? I'm just going to shoot you with Mr. Carter. Aaron whips the aforementioned bazooka from under his coat. (Love those dimensionally trancendential coats) Splat! DC stands for a minute, looking stupid, before heading off to find a towel.

I wonder if I should tell him that was a special S.H.U.S.H. expando-whammo pie?

DC screams as the pastry expands to eight times it's original size, leaving him to smother under a huge pie of pie dough.

Today is Darrin McGavin's birthday. For those who don't know, he was Dangerman/The Prisoner, and Longshanks in Braveheart.

I hear the heavy tread of the boss coming, so I must go now.

***COMMENTS/SPOILERS FOR TGS EPS THIS WEEK***

BLOOD MOON

It seemed to sweep just too wide an area. Incorporating so many characters with such an overused plot (magic spell threatens city) rarely works to good effect, and I don’t think it worked here either. To be fair, there were loads of amusing and meaningful exchanges highlighting many characters, but as far as ‘blood’ named eps go, I’m sticking with IN THE BLOOD :) Still, at least it got back old plots ^_^
6/10

AN EYE FOR AN EYE

Loved the introductory scene with Odin giving up his eye. But the scenario he found himself in frankly demanded development and wasn’t given it. The rest was OK, but introduced a load of characters in a short space of time and so didn’t do too much for me. When I saw the Eye of Odin spoilers and the superb scene with Odin I was dead excited, but it didn’t keep pace. Still, solid writing throughout.
5/10

The nursery rhyme Ring Around the Rosey is a rhyme about the plague Infected people with the plague would get red circular sores ("Ring around the rosey..."),
these sores would smell very badly so common folks would put flowers on

Return to Oz: Hey, I have this on video. I like it a lot better than the original, mainly cause it was more dark and sinister.

Morgan Morgan??? Oh my friggin' god! I kinda had a suspicion that this might be the case, but I was hoping I'd be wrong.

Lexy: Ye gods, what a bunch of assholes! It's bad enough when they're just plain stupid, but when they combine it with attitude they're just impossible to tolerate.

I witnessed something similar a few days ago. I was waiting in the drive-up line at Burger King, and this car-load of punk-asses was ahead of me. The guy in the driver's seat would order something, and the employee inside would read the order back to him, and the jagoff in the car would act pissy and say, "No, dammit, that's not what I ordered!" Even though it was EXACTLY what he'd ordered. He then rattled off a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT order. When the frustrated employee repeated the order, the bastard changed it AGAIN, acting like this was what he'd said the first two times!!

After doing this maybe eight or nine times, the car full of giggling fruitloops moved up to the window. The employee took their money, gave their change back, and told them the food was cooking and would be ready in a few minutes, then closed the window. Maybe ten seconds later the jerk started honking the horn, reaching out to pound on the window, and yelling. "Where's our food, goddammit!" And so on, while his idiot companions laughed their asses off.

The person inside gave them their food, and the guy asked for those little packets of ketchup. The poor girl gave him a handful--and he hauled off and THREW them back inher face while his buddies went into hysterics. That girl was half a second away from bursting into tears and these sadistic scumbags were having the time of their lives!

Why do people have to do things like that? If there was any justice in the world, these worthless SOBs would be hit by lightning ... but not killed. Instead, they end up with bodies that appear to be 400 years old and would break like cheap glass if a slight breeze came along. Yeah, that'd be just about right.

One more performance of Midsummer to do tommarrow, and I'm finished with playing Puck. And its during school hours this time! Hopefully it'll be as fun as the previous performances have been...

**REBOOT SEASON 3 SPOILERS**

Today was the final episode of ReBoot. I LOVED IT! The third season of ReBoot goes down in my book as one of the best seasons of any show ever. If not for the unresolved plotline with Damon and the guardians, this would end ReBoot on a note I am PERFECTLY happy with. From the very start of the season when my favorite Enzo became the main character, it was great. The running gag with AndrAIa and bikes was fun. But once they grew up, the series reached a superb level it never hit before. From the voice acting quality presented (And they had great, emotion filled voice acting) in the episode "Number seven" when Matrix searched for Number One (Tony Jay delivered a great performance in that one, as did the voice of little Enzo) to the almost seemless 4 hour movie the rest of the season was (Each episode was closely interconnected)to the Agraba-like location of two episodes, to breaking of a few American S&P laws, it was great. The romance was right on and handled very well. The final showdown between Matrix and Megabyte was one of the most memorable final battles I have yet seen. The computer animation was top notch, and ReBoot did something I've only seen shows do in alternate realities before... They destroyed everything. (They even killed Kiss, Sailor Moon, Mulder and Scully, and Indiana Jones in the next to last episode!)It was great, right down to the final lines of the last episode (WHo's the big ugly green guy?)and the surprise four minute musical number to the tune of "I am a modern major general" ReBoot season 3 was superb. It has my thumbs up the entire way. If only more series could be THIS good.

**END REBOOT SPOILERS**

Beastwars' final episode airs tommarrow, excpect a similar review then. It looks like they're going out on a real high note though... Dang, War Planets needs to start airing... All of Mainframe's other stuff is showing their final episodes this week!

**TIMEDANCER TEASER WARNING**

"You're just paranoid my friend."
"No, you aren't paranoid enough!" Bennet froze and was suddenly alert as he heard a sound. "What was that?"
"Your imagination," Frank replied.

-Trust No Future... Coming in one week!

**END TIMEDANCER TEASERS**

DS9 vs. Babylon 5- Hmm.... I've never watchd Babylon 5, but it does indeed sound like DS9 ripped it off from what everyone else has said. Ah well, ignorance is bliss in my case, and I've enjoyed DS9 the whole way, and will until the final episode in three weeks.

Lord of the Rings update- New Line has pushed back the start date of its three-feature adaptation of Lord of the Rings to late September, as the studio waits for a completed script. Aparently actors who love the story have been phoning, wanting to be part of the series, but no one has been cast. Studio executive Mark Ordesky has been putting down rumors thatSean Connery will star and that the movie will be filmed in Europe.

Personally, I don't want Connery in there, much as I like the guy, he won't work there! Go with Tom Baker dang it!

The San Antonio Spurs have homecourt advantage for every comiung game in the next series. Coolness...

Spaceballs quote-
"Hey, that's what *I* ordered!" You should all know the scene, its the best part of the whole movie IMO.

**RP.... GREAT BALLS OF FIRE**
(Please, no one continue the thread this RP is going to end on. I have plans...)
At some point when no one was paying attention to the party, Michael J. Fox arrived. He went into an all version of "Johnny B Goode" for no apparent reason, but no one minded. Jim absently commented on something.
"Its strange... Its getting towards early morning... This party is nearly over, and nothing major has happened. No giant wars, no attacking Power Rangers or god like creatures in the basement. It's like the mansion was cursed and Disney World isn't."
"It *IS* the most magical place on earth."
"I thought Avalon was."
"Nope, Disney World the whole way."
Someone looks at Jim, annoyed. "DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU'VE DONE?"
"No... What?"
"You mentioned things were peaceful! Whenever a goodguy mentions that, THATS when the villains arrive and things go nuts!" Jim gulps.
"Uh oh, you're right..." The entire park goes silent, as people wait for the impending attack.

Elsewhere, Robby's evil twin Lonny is observing the situation. "How right you are. This is the moment things go boom." Lonny presses a button, and a giant ball of flame appears in the sky, and comes down on Disney. Within moments, everything goes up in flames and everyone within the park is in SERIOUS trouble...

Kathy> Thanks for the definition. It sounds a bit like bread pudding actually. I suppose they cooked it in a bag and that's how it got its name.

Wilek> I saw "Return to Oz." It made Oz seem strangely dead. I thought it needed a soundtrack. Maybe the producers ran out of money to hire an orchestra. I liked the Wheelies though (isn't that what they were called?) I can't remember much else about it except that they had good Wheelies.

I hope the Atalanta picture gets fixed soon.

*****Eye for an Eye SPOILER question*****
Sata spoke to Brooklyn in Japanese when she didn't want Franmar to know what she was saying. Yet when she spoke in English, the Gate translated for Franmar. Why didn't the Gate translate the Japanese? If the reason it didn't was because Sata's words were meant for Brooklyn and not Franmar, then she could have spoken to Brooklyn in English. Also why didn't the Gate translate expressions like 'It drives you crazy' and 'that's par for the course'? It can't be creating a word for word translation, can it? Wouldn't Franmar and Harald hear the Old Norse equivalent of the idiomatic English expression? (My apologies for being semicoherent).
I hope Brooklyn encounters the Eye again in the course of his travels. I expect Odin will be looking for it too. Glad to see him again.
Is this another two-parter which isn't labelled that way?

Mandi: Jelly Bellies????? Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Wilek: (re: Total Conversions) Bitchin'!! If they could do it, and somehow get Brigitte Bako to provide the voice, I'd pay good money for the result! Maybe she'd do it for fun ...? **shrugs** Well, like I said, we can always dream.

Oh, and thanks. :) I pride myself on my twisted mind. It's the strongest muscle in my body.

Now, a question: Does anybody know if Officer Morgan has a first name? I've been wondering about this for a long time, but I've never been able to find any info on it ....

Oh, almost forgot: Speaking of sick, twisted, and evil--The Assassin page just added a new set of victims ... N'Sync!!! Click my name for a chance to fill them full of lead ... but keep your guard up, because these bastards will shoot back at you. They're such wussies that the Assassin people gave them guns to defend themselves.

And, finally ... Angela Nukem part 3 ...

Our Heroine chases Maeve down a dark street. Panic-stricken, Maeve runs for the nearest building that still has lights on--which turns out to be a porno shop. Angela follows her in, pumping a round into her 10-gauge with one hand, a la Linda Hamilton in T2. The porno-shop customers, who were studiously ignoring one another a moment before, scream and run for cover. Maeve nearly gets trampled as the humans shove and knock her out of their way.

Suddenly the room is clear, and Angela has Maeve pinned into the corner, between the vibrator and love-doll displays. Angela grins and levels the shotgun.

"Say hi to my little friend."

Maeve glances around, then grabs the nearest object--a solid oak dolphin-shaped ... um ... toy wrapped in transparent shrink-wrap. She cocks it back like a pitcher for the Yankees, and chucks it full-force at Angela. The toy bounces off Angela's forehead and she winces.

"Ouch! That HURT!!!"

Maeve grabs more of the oak dolphins and starts firing them at Angela. Angie picks them up and throws them back at her. One nails Maeve between the eyes and she falls, knocking the whole display over. Angela walks up to her, slinging the shotgun over her shoulder.

"So, you like to play with these, eh?" She glances around and finds a high-tech vibrater that was recalled for reasons that will become clear in a moment. She selects the highest setting, shoves it down Maeve's throat, and switches it on.

"Gaaaaaaaaahhh!" Maeve screams--or tries to, rather. Her head is vibrating and she sounds as if she's trying to do a Katherine Hepburn impression. Her head continues to rattle more and more violently, followed by the rest of her body, until there is a loud SNAP! and she stops breathing.

Angela turns the toy off and removes it, knowing this won't be permanent. She takes her shotgun and places it against Maeve's head.

"Let God sort 'em out!"

BLAM!!!

Ah, that was kinda sadistic ... but I _really_ don't like the Unseelie. And I also need to get a life, heh.

Oh well. I'm gonna go mow down N'Sync again ....

**RP!**

[The winged simians are making ready to beat SJ and company to within an inch of their lives...until a jet of flame rends the air. The monkeys look to see what's happened, and see Wilek firing warning shots from his flamethrower, and Argent and Jewel*D preparing for battle. Argent: "You mess with one of us CR dwellers, you mess with us ALL. And that can get messy indeed." Wilek: "You're going DOWN, punk monkeys!" The apes charge, and the battle is joined...]

**PAUSE RP AND BEGIN MODERATE SPOILERS FOR THE VERY LAST EPISODE OF REBOOT SEASON 3**

This is the only RBS3 ep I've ever seen in my life, and it makes me wish I could have seen the rest. Somehow, the Weird Sisters always manage to keep me away from the TV when it's on. (Which reminds me, I'll need to borrow Pissy's super psycho iron shotgun thing. <g>) This episode...somehow inspired me, and certainly made me think. Specifically, it made me rethink my stance on keeping my ficverse consistent with TGS. Maybe I should branch it off into an alternate universe or something, so I can destroy the planet without checking to see if TGS is going to be doing it...

**END SPOILERS**

Angela Nukem> Anyone ever hear of Total Conversions? They're graphics and sound files that can replace those of the original game. A talented artist could probably draw appropriate Angela images to replace those of Duke in the game. They probably couldn't get Angela's voice to say Duke's various remarks, though, not unless they either found an impeccable voice impressionist or paid the real actress a large sum of money...

Pistoff> ACK! ACK! OH YOU ARE SICK! YOU'RE TWISTED! YOU'RE EVIL! Coming from me, this is a compliment. :) <<You can get lighters like that one in various novelty catalogs, like "Things You Never Knew Existed.">> I have an old copy of that; some of the stuff in there is so much fun. Hey, do they have a website?

Kaioto> <<Stephen King's "Wizard and Glass" involves a twisted parody of the Wizard of Oz where the antagonist is the wizard and bad things keep happening>> Sounds interesting...hey, has anyone here seen Return To Oz? Much better than the original movie IMHO; a lot darker and creepier and more...apocalyptic, somehow, I guess. (Hint: it starts out with Dorothy being treated in a mental institution. That wouldn't have been gotten away with in the era of the original movie.)

Christine> <<Anyway, who were the characters of your media-inspired Let's Pretend?>> A mix of video game characters and characters of my own creation, actually, including early prototypes of several of my current fic/RP characters, and the action always remained within my mind instead of being acted out. (I was the quiet type. ;) )

Aaron> <<She's been conspicuous by her absence lately.>> So I've noticed! Along with a few others, if I'm not mistaken. Where are they?

Argent> Ack, that thing at your school sounds like it was scary. I would have thought there was a dead body outside or something. (I don't know why, that's just the way my mind works...)

**RESUME RP!**

[The YT-2000 belonging to Djedi and Toliana docks in the Avatar Of Ganon's docking bay, and its occupants emerge...and see an Infiltrator-class TIE shuttlecraft, the same class as Darth Maul's transport, also docked there. They exchange a worried look, and walk over to find out the ship's name. "Elysium's Bane," Djedi reads aloud in abject horror. Toliana: "Oh, *man*, don't tell me Dark Eternal's here too!" Remember him? "That psycho almost scragged us the last time we ran into him!" Djedi: "I'm beginning to wonder if you weren't right about this being a trap..."]

Kidding! Kidding! And though I sound like everyone's mother, it might be a good idea to take the hint. Truth be told I found the survey to be quite funny, but I would have left off addresses and names myself. Other then that...

Celebs: Nope.
Stuffed animals and relations: Yeah, I just love going at it with my stuffed seal! (sarcastic)

Time now: 8:11 CST
Belief in God: Oh yeah! I tried reading the Necronomicon online the other day and I couldn't even start the beginning passages by the mad arab without this feeling of revulsion passing through me. I think He had a hand in it. (Incidently I couldn't bring myself to read it because of the feelings.)
He believe in you: I hope so!
Where am I: Somewhere on the planet. (HAHA! Gotcha!)
Did I hear that: Yeah. The voices in my head are singing "Mushrooms Girl" by Eminem again. (SHUT UP ABOUT THE FRIGGIN' GIRL TALKIN' TO THE PLANTS!!)
Grossed out by sex: Nah, had the classes in HS. Takes a lot to faze me.
Am I sexy: Dunno, you tell me. *smirk*
Do I think you're sexy: Well...you've got a nice hard drive...
What is sexy: Hmm...too complex to be posted here.

***AS LONG AS I'M POSTING, RP***
(Seeing the draco take to the air, the winged monkies pull up short. Argent eyes the impressive weapon that appears in Wilek's hands.)
"Well, I guess it couldn't hurt!" (Frowns at her draco.)
"Jewel*D! Minimize and get back down here!"
(Jewel*D, eager to fight, pretends not to hear her trainer.)
"NOW."
(The draco knows better then to argue with that tone and reluctantly complies. The monkies begin hooting insults and some sort of war chant. Jewel*D whines and fidgets impatiently as Argent tosses her backpack into some bushes, then kicks off her tennis shoes.)
"Because you know better then to charge head-long into a battle without my okay, that's why."
***MORE LATER***
Man did we have a scare this morning. I was in school, first period. Someone cames to the door and handed my teacher a note. She starts crying and tells us "Don't go outside, go straight to the next class." But she doesn't tell us what the note said. Which confuses the heck out of us. We only have about three minutes between classes, why in the world would we go outside?
In the hall, all sorts of rumors were flying.
"There was a shooting...."
"There were two shootings at Parkersburg High and South..."
"There was a bomb threat..."
AND NO ONE WOULD TELL US WHAT THE HECK WAS GOING ON!!!!! The notes the teachers got were supposed to be confidential and they said nothing! It wasn't until 3rd period that the teacher gave us the basic facts: There was a rumor started by some kids that came in late. They heard a rumor on the radio that there was some sort of threat at a high school in the Parkersburg area. They told their friends, and all of a sudden the grape vine hits overdrive. Didn't help that the teachers wouldn't say anything. The only thing our 3rd period teacher knew for sure was it didn't even involve our school! Arrrrrrrrrrrgh, I can't tell you how frustrated and even a little scared we were! Why couldn't they just tell us that in the first place?!
(Bows to readers) Thank you for lending an ear to what turned out to be a rant. I feel better now.

SJ> I'd always hoped someone would roll all the Ewoks together. Then all it would take would be one well-placed hollowpoint, and we'd never have to hear that yub yub chant again.

I'm about ready to kill my boss, but I'm having a pretty good day otherwise.

COMMENTS ON BLOOD MOON
Excellent story! I give it two claws up! I do have one question: when did Banshee leave the Unseelie Court? Was it actually handled and by some freak of nature I missed the episode it was in or is it just more of the TGS Staff throwing hints to us?

By the way, nice hint tossing with Brooklyn and Sata and Samson's mysterious request. I always love to see foreshadowing handled well.

Ahh, such a pleasent prospect, the Unseelie the center of attention of all the world's global military powers. The full power of mordern war unleashed on the Unseelie to include the possibility of nuclear weapons. They wouldn't know what they would be in for, and are probably so damn arrogant that they would brush it off anyway. If by some chance the fey valnerability to iron was applied to modern
military weapons, it would be a slaughter, and the Unseelie would be the ones slaughtered. Think of what a string of cluster bombs blanketing the Brocken with bomblets that explode sending out iron fragments in all directions would do.

Glimmer> That poem you found was hilarious.

> When good King Auther ruled this land,
> He was a goodly king;
> He stole three pecks of barley-meal
> To make a bag-pudding.

King Arthur stealing barley meal? I don't think so. Madoc must have started this rumor.

> A bag-pudding the king did make,
> And stuffed well with plums;
> And in it put great lumps of fat,
> As big as my two thumbs.

What in the name of all that's holy is a "bag-pudding"? Never mind. I don't think I want to know. But this reminds me of the one and only time I got to go to Germany with my parents. We ate lunch in this pub-type restaurant and my dad ordered this weird sausage because the waitress was cute and had an interesting bodice and she recommended it. He cut it open and all these cubes of fat fell out (the sausage not the bodice). That's all there was inside it. Just cubes of transparent fat suspended in liquid fat. We couldn't believe it. I don't remember what I ordered, but I seem to recall it tasted like chicken.

> The king and queen did eat thereof,
> And noblemen beside;
> And what they could not eat that night,
> The queen next morning fried.

I've had those kinds of leftovers too. *shudder*

Zath> I thought the same thing you thought. But after reading a little further I thought "Hey wait a minute. People don't get 103 fevers from that!" Maybe someone can enlighten me about what "let them know the pain of the moon times" is supposed to refer to.

How do you pronounce Huitzilopochtli? Is it pronounceable or does its unpronounceability help define the character who bears the name?

No air conditioning begets creativity, I swear. But I'll be all done with work by 1 today...

<<SJ: And what exactly about Terry Brooks' work do you not like? Myself, I don't care too much for the Shannara series, but Landover ... that ranks #2 on my all-time fantasy list (#1 being "Dragonriders of Pern," though I'm not sure if that counts as fantasy or science fiction.).>> Hey! Someone else who's read the Landover series! (Everyone I know who hates Terry Brooks bashes the Shannara series, but they give me blank looks when I mention Landover...) I have an excerpt from "The Black Unicorn" on my wall at home, and d*mned if I remember it all...but I remember the last line. "'I promise,' he said, and the lawyer in him winced." I'm going to have to check on that when I get home.

Jenna> <<About Bab 5 getting ripped of by star trek- Hell Yes!!! It's gotten to be so bad that my hubby and I can't watch deep space anymore.>> I never really got into B5, and by the time someone got me interested the show had been on so long I didn't have a clue what was going on. But I'll probably watch the series finale just in honor of the fact that DS9 (aside from Stargate: SG-1) is the only SF series I've gotten my mother to watch with me periodically - a few years back, when "The Visitor" aired, I was sick and Mom was keeping me company, so she watched it with me. Both of us were crying at the end. (I was sick, I had an excuse. Mom was in worried mother mode. We were prime targets for a tearjerker.)

Pistoff, Coyote> Corn on pizza? That's nothing, I once had Jelly Bellys on pizza during finals week -- only the fruit flavors work in that respect -- and my roommate didn't let me live it down for the rest of the week.

Deuce> << Attack of the Performing Arts Students!>> Whee! That sounds like fun! So did you guys have to put on a skit? I just remember the HS Performing Arts Fest I went to my junior year...we were a last-minute entry, so for our skit we did "Little Bunny Foo-Foo." An example:

Narrator: "Down came the Good Fairy--"
(A dummy with wings falls straight down from the catwalk, landing with a splat on the stage. The narrator clears his throat, and two stagehands quickly drag the dummy off. One of them peers behind the curtain and whispers, then gives the narrator an OK sign.)
Narrator: "Ahem. Down came the Good Fairy, and she said..."
(Out comes the "Good Fairy," namely, John Yasalonis with a GM cap on his head, a cigar between his teeth, Bermuda shorts, dirty sneakers, gym socks, and a pair of wings stuck on his back.)
We had to wait about five minutes for the other students to stop laughing their heads off...

Okay, I've wasted enough time. But before I go, ANOTHER Spaceballs quote:

"Lord Helmet!"
"KNOCK on my door! Knock next time!"
"Yes, sir! Sorry, sir!"
"Did you see anything?"
"No, sir! I didn't see you playing with your dolls again, sir!"
"Good!"

Had a unique experience yesterday on the bus: Attack of the Performing Arts Students! Me and a bunch of friends were walking to the bus terminal yesterday, when we came across a shopping cart. Natch, I had to ride. So me and a friend hopped in, with another pushing, and one running along the side so it wouldn't tip over. There were a couple party-poopers who just ran behind. So, we come up to a bump, and the girl pushing decides to go EVEN FASTER over it. I wound up skidding my ass and palms on the pavement, with a girl and a shopping cart on my foot.

After limping to the terminal, a fellow Drama student and I re-enacted highlights from our stage-fighting experiences (punches, slaps, I smashed his face into the bus shelter). We got tons of weird looks from old people. Then we got on a bus, broke out the "Romeo and Juliet" books, and spent the 20-minutes ride downtown reading selections from it.

SOROW> Welcome back! I'm assuming you're having no troubles getting in?

Kitainia> ["..hope you and Catherine are happy together..."] Just ask anyone chatting with me while I'm talking to her... I get really... unique....

JackaL> Wow... I like this puppy story better. How sweet.

Coyote> That should do. Just say they're property of the TGS staff... we're not going to sue.

I now have two minutes to check my email... yikes.

Quickie ...

Kathy: Err ... actually I have a question on the fic usage of TGS characters, too ... probably should have asked this a *long* time ago, but how *does* one credit TGS characters properly in a disclaimer? I'm sure the folks here know how I disclaim them ("TGS characters and indices are copyright ... well, whoever holds the rights to TGS, all rights reserved"), but it's a little off-the-cuff for my taste.

Jenna > The TGS staff encourages people to play in our universe as long as we get a credit in your disclaimer section for characters created by the staff - just stick us in there with Greg and Disney and we'll be happy. :)

My my, all this talk about grisly ways to deal with the Unseelie. I wonder how we really deal with them? Oh wait. *I know*. Mwhahaha!

Cinco de Mayo > Commemorates the Battle of Pueblo. Mexican citizens kicked some French, who were trying to establish a colony out of their town. United States beer companies adopted it because of a dearth of excuse to party holidays between St. Patrick's Day and Memorial Day. It's not that big of a deal in Mexico.

Servaious Jr.---About Bab 5 getting ripped of by star trek- Hell Yes!!! It's gotten to be so bad that my hubby and I can't watch deep space anymore. We love Bab 5--and it really pisses us off to see someone else try to rip it off. I don't even think I'm going to watch the end if they plan to have Sisco die--I like him, but he's no Sheridan!!!!!

Will someone please respond to my question about using TGS characters in a story of my own--giving the staff credit of course. I am most anxious to hear about it!!!!!!

Attention Everyone: The new Timedancer ep is up at the text site (khatt.net). Go there if you want to read it. The title is "Eye for an Eye."

**TIMEDANCER SPOILERS**
This one wasn't as good as previous Timedancers have been, IMO. Short, no real involving conflict or memorable side characters, Brooklyn and Sata weren't developed any. At least it kept a good historical sense with the Vikings. And the Eye of Odin was used predictably, but well. Overall, 1.8/5 stars.

Truth to tell, I've sometimes wondered about the clan's keeping the Mayan Sun Amulet, given that doing just that might count as stealing from the museum. But then I remembered that the museum didn't have that much right to the Amulet itself, given that it received it from the looters who stole it from the Mayan pyramid, and not from any legitimate archaeological team.

Wilek: Oops, your post must've come in while I was writing mine, so I didn't see it. **bows** Thank you, thank you. I hope these prove useful, if you ever find yourself in a situation where they become necessary. I've used a few of these on people who call fake orders in to Pizza Hut ... the ones I could track down, at least. It's more satisfying than a Snickers.

Okay, I've got one more. It's pretty nasty, but I just can't resist it. I'm feeling spunky tonight. So, here it comes ... brace yourself ...

If your target happens to be the kind of guy who goes to every keg-party he can find, this opens all kinds of doors for you. Let's say he gets drunk and passes out. All you need is a condom and a broomstick. Put the condom on the end of the broomstick and shove it up the guy's ass. Pull the broomstick out, but leave the condom in. Have a couple of friends help you carry him to your car, then take your target back to his house/apartment/whatever, and put him to bed. This is especially effective if he has a girlfriend or wife. When she finds that condom in the morning, you'd be able to see the mushroom cloud from Australia. :)

**bows again** Thank you, thank you! G'night, all!

Wilek: Knew I'd forget to mention something. I agree completely with you about Mel Brooks. His movies are just Not Funny. Spaceballs was the worst movie I'd seen since Airplane II. Stupid, just plain stupid. If you're gonna satirize movies, you need to do it intelligently. Here's a perfectly intelligent sci-fi comedy: Dark Star. There's a gut-busting scene in an elevator shaft that lasts something like ten or fifteen minutes--and in fact, I was laughing through the whole movie. This movie made me laugh without talking down to me. If you haven't seen this one, go out and rent it immediately. It rocks!

Oh yeah--it was directed by John Carpenter. Nuff said. :)

SJ: I agree with you, too. The DS9 writers have been ripping off Babylon 5 for years. The two-part DS9 episodes "Homefront"/"Paradise Lost" was a blatant rip-off of B5's "Messages from Earth," "Point of No Return," and "Severed Dreams." And as B5's Shadow War heated up, DS9 got into the Dominion war, only DS9 didn't do nearly as good a job. The Dominion war storyline bogged down almost immediately, and I finally got fed up and stopped watching. It's about time they pulled the plug.

Kitainia: About the Angela Nukem game--let's see what we can do. If enough of us pester 3D Realms and Disney, maybe they'd work something out ...

Well, we can all dream, can't we? It would be an absolutely rockin' game, though. Well, I'll have the third installment ready tomorrow, I'm too tired to think one up tonight. Maybe I'll have her go after Madoc and get it over with. Yeah, I can just picture it ...

"It's down to you and me, you Smurf-colored freak!!!" KABOOM!!!

JackaL: You can get lighters like that one in various novelty catalogs, like "Things You Never Knew Existed." :)

**RP!**

[Wilek, Argent, and Jewel*D look through the rift, to see SJ, Kari, and the scarecrow being approached and threatened by what look like large winged monkeys. Wilek: "Man...even I can't take those things on! Not unarmed!" Argent: "And who says we're unarmed? Jewel*D here could probably take them down all by herself, you know." Wilek: "Still...I'll feel better with something a little more technologically advanced. <on phone> Administrator? Wilek. I need you to beam down a triad cannon. Yes I know I'm at the party. It's gotten a little weird. Yes, *again*. I end up getting into a fight every time I go to one of these things. At least with Thailog, we know what we're up against. Right. Thanks. Bye. <triad cannon appears; Wilek picks it up> Now, we're ready." With some trepidation, Wilek and Argent step into the rift, Jewel*D leaping off Argent's shoulder and growing to about ten feet in length, ready for battle...]

**AND DC DEATHS! Yes, deaths PLURAL. I am TICKED.**

[Wilek strides in to kill Mr. Disconnect for about the millionth time since he came here. Wilek: "Now, I wonder why you made me try about twenty times for an Internet connection? And why I apparently haven't recieved Arianna's e-mail? Oh, never mind. Our preliminary banter is starting to bore me. Let's get to the...meat...of the matter, shall we? KITTIES!" Three xenomorphs gallop out of the shadows and proceed to rip DC apart and eat him. Meat indeed. :P When there's nothing left but his head, which the xenos avoided for some reason, Wilek says to it, "Now it's someone else's turn. One last thing before I go..." Wilek uses a stolen Quarryhammer to hit DC's head like a croquet ball, propelling it out the 30th story window and onto the cement parking lot below, where it hits like a watermelon full of vegetable soup.

Hours later, when DC reintegrates the shattered fragments of his body, Dark Mage Wilek steps up to him, and telekinetically picks him up by the throat and holds him several feet in the air. DMW: "My brother is quite...clever...but he puts too much stock in spectacle and gore. He knows little of the finer points of fear. I, on the other hand..." DMW gestures, and noncorporeal-looking tentacles, seemingly made of darkness, shoot forth from the shadows, wrapping around DC's arms and legs and throat, constricting his breathing and pulling at him, as though intending to tear him limb from limb. DMW proceeds to slit DC's throat and wrists, letting him bleed *almost* to death, then asks him: "Have you ever...drowned in darkness?" DMW casts another spell, and a cloud of some kind settles over DC, looking, as DMW said, like a concentrated patch of pure shadow. It enters DC's lungs like some viscous fluid, choking him. By the time the terrifying cloud dissipates, DC is dead--whether by bleeding or drowning, no one can say.]

**END**

Bombing the Brocken> Eh, I think I'd rather drive out the Unseelie and use it myself. I've always wanted a big creepy castle of my own. :P

Marlos> <<The full version of the pic of Zuri from Blood Moon can be viewed on my Gargoyles webpage. (I deemed it a little edgy, so a cropped version was submitted for the story.)>> I'm amazed it was allowed at all. :)

Glimmer> <<That's not the Riddler's line, it's the Mad Hatter's. Think Wonderland.>> D'OH! I KNEW that, but I said the wrong name! I am so abysmally dumb sometimes! :P

Baby Fey> Getting a tattoo? Hm. I'd probably chicken out as soon as I saw the needle. Besides, I don't like the thought of doing anything permanent like that to myself. Maybe someday they'll come out with reusable temporary tattoos; holographic or something. :) If that ever happened...maybe Goliath on my right bicep (or shoulder) and Thailog on my left, and the rebel dagger (from Riven) somewhere in between. Symbolism, you know. ;) (And quite possibly huge ones of Dogbert on my wings, but that's another matter entirely. Being one of the first gargoyles in the DNRC has its advantages. <g>)

Christine> MAN, that was a kewl comic! How in the world did they get away with that Bat Signal in the second frame?! :D

Kaioto> <<Maybe we could even use those point and fry Star Wars lazers Reagan built in the 80's.>> He actually built those? I thought they were still on the drawing board! <<Hell hath no fury like a woman separated from her ISP.>> Whoever was keeping that CR quotebook (and if there isn't one, there should be), add this! :D <<I like light sabers>> Oh, who doesn't? :D Those are like the kewlest weapons EVER. And so modifiable. Besides Maul's twin-blade saber, I've seen one that can extend its blade to twice the usual length. That'd give a rival duelist something to think about. >:) <<Oh what I could do with a few of Leonardo's blue prints. His old war wagons would make some nice conversions.>> Don't I know it. His siege cycle would make an interesting infiltration tool. The war wagons, though...well, if those are the weird conical tanks I've seen, then...it kinda removes the element of surprise when you come at the enemy in a UFO. :P

Kewl Weapons> Some I can name off the top of my head are: Blood 2's Singularity Cannon; Heretic 2's Phoenix Bow; just about anything from the Turok and Descent games; Hexen 2's Raven Staff, Staff Of Set, Lightbringer, and Bone Shards; Einhander's Vulcan gun, Cannon, Riot gun, and a few others that I can't remember; Hexen's Wraithverge and a few others I can't remember; Doom 64's twin-blade chainsaw; The Fifth Element's triad cannon; War Planets' Beast Planet; the Krenim timeship and the Aeon from Star Trek Voyager, and a few others I can't remember right now...

...and DC will find himself on the wrong end of most of these later, because my computer locked up twice while I was writing that. Good thing I'm in Notepad and can still save this. <saves and reboots, again>

Arianna> <<did you get my e-mail?>> Answered that in one of my DC deaths above.

Pistoff> <deeply impressed> I...am in awe. Some of that makes my various Dis-structions look tame. You, sir, are Brilliant. :D

SJ> <<So, do you think JMS is right?>> It soes sound suspicious...but I doubt it. I mean, Paramount wouldn't take a legal risk like that; it has to be a coincidence.

This has been an insanely long post (for me) so far, and it shows no sign of ending! :D

$Kitainia> <<And as you know, I have returned the Dark Jedi Jerec to life using my psionic powers>> So *that*'s how it happened. Interesting...$

Jackal> <snif> That's the saddest thing I've ever read in my entire life.

**AND MORE DC DEATHS!**

[Forfexx appears before DC, and unceremoniously runs him through with a large pike. He then cuts off DC's arms and legs, gouges out his eyes, removes and eats most of his internal organs, and does a few things that are too disgusting to name here. By the time he's done, DC is bleeding from every bodily orifice he has left. Finally, Forfexx rips out DC's spinal cord and chokes him with it. Not really very effective, since DC's lungs have long since been removed, but quite satisfying.

Much later, when DC comes back, he awakens to find Anoth standing over him. DC breathes a sigh of relief, thinking that the devout Catholic won't harm him. Boy is he wrong. Anoth: "Sometimes, 'thou shalt not kill' doesn't mean what people are inclined to think." Anoth kneels in prayer, and by the time he's done, DC is a pillar of salt. A moment of concentration, and the statue is telekinetically crushed.]

**AND MORE RP!**

[The YT-2000 transport emerges from hyperspace near the Avatar Of Ganon. Toliana: "I still think this is a bad idea. What do you want to bet that they called us here just so they could disable our ship and tow us to the nearest New Republic defense station?" Djedi: "From what Rho told me, they need us. Besides, you know how clever the Dark Jedi are. It'd be a simple matter for Jerec to fake his own death." Which is what they *think* he did. Toliana: "I still smell a rat. <snif> Or maybe it's just you. When's the last time you had a shower?" Djedi: "Not since the last time the blasted thing broke down. I still haven't been able to fix it." Toliana: "Well why didn't you TELL me? You know *I'm* the repair girl around here! <g>" Djedi: "There's no time; we're about to dock. You can handle it later--what the?!" Toliana: "What's wrong?" Djedi: "I'm detecting dozens--no, hundreds--of Dalek vessels!" Toliana: "I thought they were all at some research station! For that matter, I didn't think they had so many ships!" Djedi: "Apparently things have changed..."]

<<I really like that class>>
Hell, sounds like I would like it too!!!

<<I like having you around here too much to have you turn up six feet under. On top of that, I like your posts, so don't kill any brain cells.>>
Don't you mean, "Any more". Don't worry! Been there, done that! I don't *plan* on doing it again. I have, personally, alwayz had fun on my "trips", but you gotta think too..., yall see how I am completely sober. When I was on acid, I just talked and tried to reason with everything.... EVERYTHING. I'm not sayin I didn't have my share of bad experiences, comes with the territory, it helps to have caring *responisible* friends around. No, I wasn't glorifying it's use, if you look closely, I said nothing positive about it. Laughing frogs would freak *some* people out, melting faces would freak *some* people out. Acid is indeed bad. Though, I'm not sayin it can't be fun. And it can absolutely terrifying someone who doesn't willing take it, or not prepared for it. Dear Lord...., am I an expert on this?!??

Speaking of 6 feet under...., that reminded me of two things.
1. Something happened today, that made me think of all you kind people! And convinced me that I'm doomed to be around these sort of things. Dead puppies. My brother has the two puppies, my mom ran over one of them eariler. Of course, when I heard the puppy, I was the first one out there looking at it.
He was strangely beautiful, gasping for air but not succeeding, the fear in his eyes as though he didn't understand what was happening to him. I couldn't help but pet him, lightly stroking the back of his neck as he died. It was weird, there was no external signs of death, but you could see it in his eyes and hear it in what little breath he could draw in. He looked at me and I gave a slight smile, not of pleasure but a smile of being happy for him. Finally excepting his fate, I saw the life drain from his eyes, staring into nothingness. I continued to pet him, still studying the beauty of his death, though my mind knew he was dead, somewhere in my heart refused to except it. I felt sorry for him, but at the same time nearly envious. As I picked him up, for some reason I was thinking he would pop up to his usual self and play with his friend as if nothing had happened. But something did happen, his body hanging limply from my arms reassured me of that. My brother dug his grave and I still had the pup in my arms, he began to bleed his still warm blood on me. I lifted his head up to see where he was bleeding from.., I wiped the blood from his nose and cleaned him of dirt and debris. I put his tongue back in his mouth and closed it. I layed him down in the grave in a curled, comfortable position in which he alwayz had laid. Breath exited his lungs when I did that...., my heart finally excepted/He is dead.
2. I am one of the few people who can HONESTLY say..., I crawled out of a grave! A few weeks ago, when we were doing that Ouija Board stuff..., We were in the cemetary (of course night time), and there was a freshly dug grave there! I checked it out, it was empty..., I dived right on in there! It was only about 4 and half feet deep.

<<Christian God in the classroom>>
If it makes you feel any better, Christian God would make *me* go around killin everyone...... it was a good thing they took that out of schools.

<<replace his lighter with one that shoots a three-foot flame>>
Now, I would love to see that from my lighter!!!

Tattoos: None. Professionally.... :( Problem is..., I can't decide what I want.

**RP WARNINGS**

In a dark castle of bone and rock, floating somewhere in the Astral Plane, four mighty evil beings are meeting. Deavik the Ultroloth, Gothmenes the Balor, Synatia the Pit Fiend, and Valarian, Lich-Queen of the Githyanki. "Our plans for Earth are moving well, my comrades," Deavik intones. "Every hour, Thailog moves closer to taking over the planet, and once he does, it will be easy to make our own move by taking over his regime." "Good," Synatia laughs. "Our minions are already in place in Thailog's forces. The human John Gould, who was once my consort, is now transformed into a powerful abashai and is back on Earth carrying out my instructions." "My minions are already in place in several of the world's major religions," Gothmenes adds. "They are corrupting their congregations as we have planned. Recently I too have transformed one of my most prominent worshippers into a mighty force for evil." "And as you know, I have returned the Dark Jedi Jerec to life using my psionic powers," says the Lich-Queen. "He has already built a vast Imperial Army and deeply integrated himself into Thailog's army. If anyone can help us take over Earth, it is him." "Good," Deavik nods. "All of your efforts have helped our plans. Soon, my comrades, the Earth will once again belong to the armies of Hell."

The screen changes to the Onslaught, which is rumbling across the Astral's landscape with githyanki arrows and magic ricocheting off its sides. "No trespassers are allowed on this plane!!" a githyanki knight shouts at the Ravens. "Only the githyanki may travel here!!! All others must die!!" "Oh great," Jammer mumbles. "Not guys like this again!" "We can drive through them," says Orion. "They're using primitive weaponry that will have little effect on this heavily shielded truck." "No way," snaps Elena, running up to man one of the Onslaught's turrets. "I'm fighting back." The other Ravens nod and begin getting into their standard defensive positions. Jammer guns the motor and keeps heading for the statue and the portal Lathrop tells him is beyond. Kitainia stands at the truck's side door and as she blows away the githyanki pursuing them at incredible speed (thanks to their psionic powers), the half-garg makes a CR post.

**PAUSE RP**

Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!! Today Mexico gained its independence. Truly a day worth celebrating. :) Let's see now, what do I have to say before they put up the new TD ep?

DumlaoX: Thanks for telling me, glad you're alright. Hope you get that project done soon. Doug told me about it and it sounds very interesting. I'll be looking forward to the results.

Robby: Glad your play went well. I remember acting in Midsummer Night's Dream once, as Peaseblossom. It was a small part, but at least I got some applause. :)

Weapons: So multi-barrelled auto-shotguns are real? Okay, that's interesting. :) Wonder if anyone will be using them against the Unseelie in TGS.

Angela Nukem: They need to make this game. I would definitely buy and enjoy it. Imagine, a gorgeous girl with all the attitude of Duke Nukem, kicking serious bad guy ass. This would doubtless garner enormous market value, as many of today's women use it to fulfill their fantasies of being a modern warrior princess. <grin> Making the heroine Angela would only increase the popularity of Gargoyles and the game. Maybe I should get Gubio to e-mail his industry contacts about this idea, see what happens. I just hope if they do something like it, they don't give the heroine a Lara Croft-esque unbelievably exgaggerated physique.

Kaioto: Keep up the good comments on life, this poster is among the many who appreciates your wisdom. :)

Stephen: The Rumble in Manhattan, eh? Okay, I'm looking forward to seeing some serious fights in that one. Hopefully a few bad guys will go down for good. :)

Heather: I heard about those tornados, glad you and your friends survived them. You won't believe what some of the Fundamentalist Extreme are saying about them here. They say they rank with last year's floods and the previous one's earthquakes as some of the "great disasters before Armageddon." I guess some people will always try to capitalize on a terrible disaster. <sighs> Ai!

**BEGIN MILD BUFFY SPOILERS**

Buffy Last Night: This was a good ep. I enjoyed the character development on Willow. She is becoming more of a good role model with every episode, I really like the wisdom and confidence she's developed. Hope it keeps up. The plot of this one was also good, and I liked what was done with the Mayor and Faith. Everything else I wanted to say has already been said.

**MILD SPOILERS OVER, YOU CAN LOOK NOW**

Green Baron: $ Cool thing you did with Ted Turner. I also liked the coven of idiots you brought in. I bet Geoffrey Fieger's part of them, and Louis Farrakhan and David Duke probably also have connections. As do Rush Limbaugh, Dr, Laura, and Howard Stern. There is no end to the corruptive power of the RP demons. :) BTW, how do you like the little unholy alliance we've brought into things (see above)? $

Pistoff: I agree with you about what the Unseelie need. Their characters are really becoming static, and when a villain does that on a show like Gargoyles, the end for them should be near.

Gyre: Good points about the Unseelie/human War. I wouldn't be surprised if they do end up at least partially happening, knowing human nature like I do. I certainly agree that Madoc needs to start losing, and losing bad. <grin>

Deuce: Congrats on your relationship, hope you and Catherine are happy together (and sure you are. :)

Mayan Sun Amulet: It's probably still around. I bet Xanatos has it in the Eyrie Building, and Puck somehow hid it from the Unseelie's detection magics, if they even know about it. :) I wonder, can it be put to use by the clan? Could Alex and Puck enchant some more amulets linked to it to keep the clan awake and refreshed by day like the Guatemala clan are? I hope so, that would really be a useful advantage. (And I suppose it might happen in someone's fanfic universe. :)

Baby Fey: Cool Demona image. I admire your dedication to the fandom in getting what should be a neat tattoo.

SJ: The Star Wars movie is having its plot revealed and getting a reputation as disappointing before it comes out? Good! I hope this discourages some of the fanboys from seeing it so the lines will be shorter. Doug and I will still be seeing the movie no matter what. Though we do agree with you about Jarjar Binks (the Ewoks rocked, Doug and I liked them, but so far Jarjar looks like nothing more than a caricarture of the movies' unfortunate cute comedy alien trend) and Darth Maul (hope they're the ones that die, I know one of them will because he's evil but they also need to kill the character that I don't think belongs in Star Wars- the funny-looking gimp).

Okay, that's all for now. Be back later after they post the new Timedancer ep.

**BEGIN 2ND HALF OF RP**

The Ravens continue their battle with the githyanki, taking out many of the powerfully psionic Astral natives attacking their vehicle. The knight continues to curse and scream at them, and really gets mad when a bolt from Kitainia's laser cuts his silver sword's blade neatly in half. The battle goes on, and as the Ravens pass the floating statue, the githyanki suddenly panic and begin to flee with the knight at their head. "What the hell?" Doug asks. "I guess we scared them away." "Uh, no," Tom says, pointing to a large black malevolent eye shining in the statue's widely open mouth. Its owner lets out a thunderous roar and comes slithering out, revealed to be a 30' tall monster with huge gaping jaws, pincerlike claws, and a reddish armored carapace. It seems half giant humanoid and half enormous worm. "Oh man," Stephanie whistles. "Lathrop, what is that thing?" "An astral dreadnaught. The most feared denizen of this plane, and a serious problem for us." "Why?" asks Tricia. "Ditz!" Shauna rants. "Look at it, its ribs are showing. That thing is hungry as hell!" Tom nods. "And judging by the fact that it's now chasing us at a speed of approximately 500'/second, with drool coming out of its mouth like a waterfall, we're its intended next meal!" "Jammer!" Doug yells. "Can we outrun it?" "Uh, I don't think so. If I make this thing go any faster, I won't be able to stop in time to slow down so Lathrop can open the gate." "Okay, we'll have to fight it." "Doug, that's a bad idea," Lathrop complains. "No one in the history of the multiverse that I know of has fought an astral dreadnaught and lived to tell about it." "First time for everything," Kitainia smiles. "Jammer, transform the Onslaught." The driver nods, stops the truck, and converts it into battle-robot mode. The Dreadnaught roars again, and advances to attack. Unfortunately, DC chooses this instant to take the screen offline (he shall die!), so we have to once again leave the RP at a cliffhanger. To be continued next time.

*SIGH* I shouldn't probably be in here. I've got a 10-20 page English paper to write in the next 36 hours, and I have nothing done yet. And it's like 50 percent of my grade. I HATE FINALS.

****BEGIN RP****
SJ, Kari, the Hounds, and the Scarecrow all tense as the rustling sound of wings grows closer. A thick cloud of what appeared to be birds began to draw nearer to the heroes.
"What....the hell....is that?!?!" SJ asked, his jaw dropped open.
"Perfect!" Scarecrow spat angrily. "This is just what we need. I bet Eisner sent them!"
"What do we do?" Kari asked.
"We run, that's what!" Scarecrow replied, and he began to gallop forward, his thin, spindly legs making surpisingly fast strides. SJ and Kari quickly followed him, the Hounds close on their heels.
SJ turned back to look over his shoulder, and immediately wished he didn't. That's when he first got his look at the Wicked Tribe.
They were monkeys with wings, but not the cute, cuddly little simians seen in zoos or in the movies. These were monkeys from hell; primates that would no doubt be perfectly normal--should Stephen King be the almighty Creator. Standing about 5 feet tall, with sleek black, matted fur, they had humanoid bodies, and baboon heads. Cold, yellow eyes were sunk into their heads, and each possessed a snoutful of horrible, sharp teeth. Their wings , set square on their shoulder blades, were quite wide, as well as black as pitch. And there was hundreds of the creatures, so many that they began to block out the sun, a dark, living death cloud.
"Ohhhhh sh---" SJ gasped, but his comment was cut short. He tripped over the Hounds, and fell face first onto the ground. "What," he said, picking himself up. "What's the deal, why did we stop?" The others had abruptly ceased movement at the foot of a great wooded area. The forest was dark and foreboding, and Scarecrow seemed reluctant to enter.
"We're not going in there," Scarecrow said. A tremor of fear could be heard in his voice.
"Are you kidding?" Kari asked angrily. "We need shelter from those things!"
"NOT in there. THEY are in there." Scarecrow shouted. "I'd rather take my chances with the flying monkeys."
"That's good," SJ said. "Cause they're here."
One by one, the primates began to land, until the land was covered with their ranks. The largest of them, a baboon who stood close to 6 feet on its hind legs, stepped forward. "We the Wicked Tribe," it sneered. "You trespassin' in Oz. Grande Pooba Eisner veeeery angry." It bared it's impressive fangs. "Eisner angry, we angry. Now...we tear you up!!!"
****END RP FOR NOW*****

BTW, one huge cyber-cookie for those who know which major author I'm totally ripping off with this RP. And no, it's NOT Baum. Someone a little more modern ;)

****INTERESTING NEWS, and SPOILERS!!!!! For the NEW STAR WARS MOVIE!!!!!****
First off, let me say that I pretty much know the movie already. I know who lives, and dies, because well, the Comic Book adaption came out today, and I read it. I won't go too much into detail, cause I don't want to ruin it, but I will say this: Two MAJOR characters die. One of them was, in my opinion, the coolest Star Wars character ever (besides Boba Fett, that is). If you've read any of my earlier comments on Star Wars, you know I'm talking about cause it's the character I love most in the new film. Overall, I think the film (based on the adaption) is gonna rock....but I also think it has a certain....I don't know, it could be much more than it is....

But I'd also like to encourage you to go to www.aint-it-cool-news.com and read the reviews there. I did, and.....well, I got a little scared. Cause the general consensus is that the movie is good.....great....but also, disappointing. To us Star Wars junkies, that is. It appears that this really is a kids movie, made for the wee little tykes. So, I'm scared....the most anticipating movie of the century, and the single best word to describe it was "disappointing."

Well, I'll still go, but I pray it isn't as bad as my cynical little mind is playing it up to be. I'll leave you with this little bit though, and I'm gonna write this in all caps so people who don't want to read the spoilers will have to notice it anyway: AMOST UNANIMOUSLY, EVERYONE WHO HAS SEEN THE STAR WARS PREQUEL AGREED ON ONE FACT: JAR JAR BINKS IS THE WORST DAMN THING IN THE MOVIE. HE'S ALL THE F'IN EWOKS ROLLED UP INTO ONE. HE SUCKS. SO HAH HAH, NANNY NANNY POO POO TO ALL STAR WARS GEEKS WHO SWORE ON THEIR GRANDMOTHER'S SOULS THAT HE'D BE A COOL CHARACTER. There, that was liberating.
***END STAR WARS SPOILERS****

JackaL: This b!tch once slipped my brother some acid once. He's the most....pharmocudically inclined member of my family (although not anymore since he's started a family), but even he said to stay clear away from it. Worst experience of his life. Traffic lights were coming alive, and he said he could taste the color purple. Not fun.

Wilek: Hey, you joining the RP with me? Kewlies!! :)

Spaceballs moments: "Comb the desert!" *scene cuts to evil Spaceball soldiers running super-sized combs through the sand*
"You find anything?"
"No, sir"
"You find anything?"
"No, sir"
"How 'bout you?"
"We ain't found sh!t!"

Star Trek: DSN / Babylon 5 fans: Apparently, J.Michael Strazynski, the creator/writer of Babylon 5 is claiming that the folks over at DSN completely plagiarized him. Think about it: His show revolved around a space station promoting peace and commerce, located near a hyperspace portal.....DSN was a space station promoting peace/commerce located near a wormhole. Babylon 5 had as it's major story arc an intergalactic war between the forces of good (most of the younger races, the Vorlons) against the forces of darkness (the Shadows, the Drakh)......DSN has had the Federation vs. the Dominion. AND
***DSN SPOILERS***
In the series finale this year, Sisko is supposed to die and go with the Prophets, and the station will be destroyed......much like Sheridan died and went with the First Ones in "Sleeping in Light". Oh, and Bab 5 was destoyed then.
So, do you think JMS is right? Personally, I think there's some truth to it. DSN is awful close to Bab 5's storyline...And JMS did come up with the concept/story arc for Bab 5 about a decade ago, well before DSN was ever created....

Baby Fey: Getting some ink done? I'd love to get a tattoo. I'd like to get some barb wire across the entire length of my arm, or at least from shoulder to elbow. Unfortunately, I'm a little too strapped for cash to get one just yet. :(
Speaking of tattoos, have any JackaL? ;)

**Robby walks in, exhausted** Two performances of Midsummer down, one to go... Oii... Being overly energetic while playing a character can really wipe you out...

Hmm, this week's Timedancer episode isn't up yet... Um, Patrick, Deuce, I can't post the eps myself, my computer can't do it without something of an upgrade. One of you two has to do it... I'm sorry for the delay folks, but there's nothing I can do about it.

Argent- Congrats on your own play going well. And enjoy the third season of ReBoot while you can, tommarrow is the final episode.

Thats all for now. This weekend, when I have my energy back, I'll catch up on all the stuff I've skimmed over the last couple days. Until then, laters!

Angela Nukem part 2 ...

Angela descends on Garlon, who is running in a blind panic through an alley. She lands in front of him and he runs into her before he can stop. She grabs him, pulls a pipe bomb(loaded with iron shrapnel, naturally) out and grins at Garlon.

"Let's get hot!"

She drops the pipe bomb down his pants and punches him in the stomach. He falls to his knees, unable to breathe, scrabbling frantically at his belt buckle as Angela climbs the side of the building and soars away.

There follows a large explosion and a heinous SPLAT!!! Angela grins.

"Yer face, yer ass, what's the difference?"

Ah, that felt good. To be honest, I got bored with the Unseelie almost as soon as they showed up. I haven't read any of TGS since the first few eps of season 2 (but as soon as Denis and I finish the first season of our own series, I plan to take a few weeks off and catch up on TGS as well as some other series I should've been reading but haven't). Judging from what I've read in here, it's taken too long for anybody to start doing anything substantial to fight the Unseelie. I hope the good guys will wipe them out as soon as possible, so we can move on. The series was so much more interesting when it was about gargoyles conflicts with humanity. Though I have to admit the one where Angela cooked one of the minions off sounds promising. I promise I'll catch up on these ASAP.

Wilek: Wow, those revenge things are popular, eh? Want more? Okay, here goes ...

If your target has a computer and email, you can go to work immediately. Put his email address on some nasty mailing lists--scat, golden showers, necrophilia, bestiality, more sickening, the better. If you can find out his address, you can put his name on some porno magazine subscription cards.

Also, if he has a computer and you can get a copy of his key, you can do some serious damage. Drop some potato chip crumbs into the printer. Stick a wad of gum into the mechanism. Open the CPU and shove the mouse into the first suitable open space you find. Fold a 5 1/4" floppy in half and shove it into his 3.5" drive. Then shove another one in. If it won't fit, MAKE it fit.

If you can get access to some DMSO and LSD, mix them together and swab some on his keyboard. But be careful not to touch it, it's absorbed directly through the skin.

If your target is male and has a girlfriend, slip some women's panties and a bra into the bed. If your target is female and has a boyfriend, leave some open condom wrappers laying around.

I can think of a few that are too disgusting to post here, but if you want to hear them, let me know and I'll be happy to email them. :)

Let's see, what else can my warped mind come up with? Hmm ... Oh yeah--remember the shoe trick? It can be done with underwear, too. If your target is in high school or works out at a gym, you can also do this with his jockstrap. And the only thing I liked about the movie Revenge of the Nerds was the scene where they soaked all those jockstraps in liquid heat ...

If your target has kids and collects "family" video tapes (like Disney cartoons), rent some porno movies, make pirate copies of them, then take the copies to your target's house. Carefully pull the labels off the Disney tapes and put them on the porno tapes, and pull a switcheroo.

Buy some "Fart Spray" and empty the whole can in your target's bedroom. The best place would be in the bed. This is especially effective if he has a girlfriend and they're planning to have sex that night ...

If your target is a smoker, replace his lighter with one that shoots a three-foot flame.

Slip a bunch of pidgeons into his house. They'll take care of the rest.

Well, that's all I can think of right now, without getting too disgusting. I can dream up lots more, though. :)

Hi, just some quick things for now.

***** BLOOD MOON SPOILERS *****
I finally read Blood Moon tonight, and I loved the episode. Most of what I had to say has already been said, but I can add some things. I can sympathize with Demona about the animal musk smell in her house. One day Kitty came inside just covered in the stuff (apparently some little boy cat in the neighborhood either didn't know or didn't care that she was fixed and was trying to show off or something) and she got it all over my clothes, my keyboard, and my phone. Ug, what a mess, and boy did it STINK! It took forever to clean up. On a funnier note, I was wondering if anyone else read "while the light of the Blood Moon shines in the heavens, let them know the pain of the moon times and let them know what it is to be weak" and thought the guys were going to start suffering from cramps and bloating? Maybe that's just my own sick mind putting twists on things again.
***** END SPOILERS *****

Baby Fey> Neato! Did you draw that yourself? My brother has a tattoo he designed himself. Personally, I don't think I could ever get one. The combination of the needle and the sound that's not unlike a dentist's drill might make me flip out, even if the pain didn't.

Christine> *grins* My first piece of garg art displayed on someone else's web page. That reminds me, I'm going to have to take a picture of the little baby garbeast I made in art class last year so I can get it scanned and show it to everyone. I hope the Illustrated Quotes page is ready soon, because I'm getting twitchy just waiting for it. Right now I'm drawing Thersites getting beaten with a broom. : P

Aaron> I loved your DC death, and it gives me an idea for one of my own...

***** DC DEATH *****
**Just then a man who looks suspiciously like Quentin Tarantino walks into the CR and up to Zath, who he greets and asks, "So, where is he?" Zath points to the dark corner that Mr. DC is hiding in, and DC is suddenly struck by lightning several dozen times, reducing him to fried scum, extra crispy style.
"Thanks Jonny."
"Don't mention it." The Tarantino lookalike leaves and everyone turns to stare at Zath.
"What? He owed me a favor..."
***** END DC DEATH ***** (Yeah, yeah, it was a silly movie, but this just felt so RIGHT)

Coyote> <<#1 being "Dragonriders of Pern," though I'm not sure if that counts as fantasy or science fiction.>> I don't think anyone's sure, and some people even claim it's romance that just has a fantasy background. My favorites are F'nor and Canth and Piemur. I thought about using them in the RP, but Anne's lawyers seem to put even more effort into "copyright protection" than FOX does.

Until next time, bye all.

*Arianna appears in the CR.*
Hello all. I'm feeling slightly more serene tonight.

Aaron> True, true. I'd forgotten about those two locations.

Coyote> Ow. I didn't realize that (can you tell I've been living in a cocoon of chemistry lately?). I don't know how I missed that. It would seem that with North Carolinian sports teams, we never just lose. We lose badly. I can't believe that one of our players died and I didn't hear about it. Insane...

Green Baron> <<I take it you're a junior.>> Oh, yes, and loving every minute of it! We had quite a lively discussion about refugees in Social Justice today. I think my teacher was ready to kill most of us. <<From your survey, I take it you're of the conserevative nature :)>> And you would be correct. At least, I fit better under the conservative heading than the liberal one. :)

Zath> Actually, I have a friend who, if he really wanted to, could poke me in the eye with his elbow. He's incredibly tall!!! Of course, if he did, I'd have to kill him. :)

Wilek> <<Your DC death was *quite* interesting. I had no idea you could be so savage. :) >> You have no idea. That was what I thought was rather reserved, compared to some of the stuff I have in store for that guy if he keeps messing with my computer...speaking of that lovely topic, did you get my e-mail? My computer gave me the devil's own time trying to send it... <<a WOMAN changed her name to Obi-Wan>> That's what they said. Insane, no?

Kaioto> <<You are a woman. I never had any doubts as to your capacity for utter and inescapable destructive wrath if the spirit moves you. Hell hath no fury like a woman separated from her ISP. >> Amen! There's only so much of that I can take before drives me completely insane.

Argent> <<I heard that story, but according to that report, the courts wouldn't let her change her name without a good reason. Winning a radio contest was evidently not good enough. Did that situation change?>> I believe it did. Unless I totally missed something -- I think they let her do it. My friend and I were discussing it, and I think he said he had heard they let her change her name. They did try to stop her though, for the reason you said. Although I know a person who legally changed their name to Muffin. No, I'm not kidding.

Well, I'm off. Much to do tonight...Later, people!

Thanks for the well-wishes from everybody! 'A Comedy Tonight' received standing ovations on both performances!
And now, for your reading pleasure:
LONG OVERDUE RETRIBUTION ON DC!
(DC is attepting to pull off the fly-paper someone put in all his standard hiding places. *hehehe* He bumps into someone and whirls around. He sighs in relief, finding it's not a character he recognizes.)
"Hello, my name is Eve. I have a message for you."
(The dark-skinned figure stands at about five foot four, her long white hair pulled back into a loose, intricate eight- plaited braid. DC smiles nervously.)
"Fr-from who?"
"My creator:" (Eve's eyes glow green, and a ring of sparkling white light surrounds the hapless hacker. She begins to chant.)
"May you lie in Antartic cold,
May you walk on sharpened blade.
May you stand in ivy poison.
May you sit in flame of Hades!"
(DC collapses, but immediatly springs up as icicles form on his hair. He begins scratching madly as he hops from foot to foot. Eve laughs as his discomfort mounts.)
"Oh, and just so you know: That spell was brought to you courtesy of Argent and Jewel*D. Have a nice eternity." (The sorceress snaps her fingers and disapears.)
***AND IT WON'T WEAR OFF 'TILL HE APOLOGIZES! (MANIACAL LAUGHTER)***
ELESSAR> Pokeball Z ? (begins snickering as a CD suddenly pops into head of a Pikachu following Gohan home.)
TRC> (Garg basics) Another one is they all have fangs.
DOUG> Nonono! You don't wish a stage actor good luck, that's bad luck! :)
WAVELENGTH> Aloha, hope to see you soon.
HEATHER> I'm glad you and your friends all right!
ARIANNA> I heard that story, but according to that report, the courts wouldn't let her change her name without a good reason. Winning a radio contest was evidently not good enough. Did that situation change?
***SPOILERSPOILERSPOILER***
Survival> Okay, whoever's naming members of the London clan has gotten ahold of 'The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe'. First there was Lucy, then in 'Survival' there's Susan, Peter, and Edmund. Anyone else catch this?
Also> I'm probably gonna' kick myself, but I give. What was the favor?
Blood Moon> Loved it! And it looks like soon I can finally stop griping about where the Guatemalan is. I love all the foreshadowing! :) And all the good points other posters have mentioned. Kudos!
Also> Huitzilopochtli? As in the Aztec sun god? Kind of surprised to find him an Unseelie, but I guess anyone who would require human sacrifices...
***ALL CLEAR!***

Survey> I'll do it later.
ReBoot Season III> I am LOVING it!
Garg comics> Passing thought: Could an episode of TGS be submitted?
***RP! (Looks like I'm in for more then I thought!)***
Argent takes another quick look at where Wilek is taking her and Jewel*D.
"Me and my biiiiiiiig mouth."
Jewel*D mutters something that is most definately agreement.

**enters, changes out the candles, then pulls out a portable CD player.**

Setting some mood music for this evening. **puts in his new CD ("Mask of Zorro" soundtrack), sets the track number to 13, and the play setting to "endless repeat."**

There. Now ...

SJ: And what exactly about Terry Brooks' work do you not like? Myself, I don't care too much for the Shannara series, but Landover ... that ranks #2 on my all-time fantasy list (#1 being "Dragonriders of Pern," though I'm not sure if that counts as fantasy or science fiction.).

GB: A crisis of faith? You? That's kind of hard to believe, amigo.

Cool guns: I think Cyrway will agree ... tops on my list for weapons showing up in my fics is ... drumroll please ... the Rokkan Devastator, a weapon Cyrway helped to create (in her pic of Liberty for me) which is the standard firearm issued to the Rokkan militia. Put it this way ... take the Doom BFG, increase its size to about ... oh, that of a St. Bernard ... and you have a Devastator!! :)

Zath: If you first found it when they told how to do the stab-out-your-eye trick, then you missed it. It was before. The report was prety kewl, though, going through what makes them so popular. (Also told how they do one trick where Teller reenacts "The Man From Rio" and appears to actually be cutting his own finger off ... ;)

Pistoff: Hmm ... actually, corn doesn't sound too bad on pizza ... :)

Matt Dymond: Actually, I'm avoiding all things Star Wars until the 19th so that I don't get any spoilers about the plot ... so my butt is covered. :)

Deuce: How does six rolls sound? :)

Baby Fey: That pic's going to make a kewl tat, especially if it's going to be in full color. Though you're right, that is probably going to hurt for a while. (BTW, who's the artist? :)
**strokes chin** Just out of curiosity ... how long *were* you living in Oak Harbor? See, I'm trying to figure out if we may have run into each other or not (I lived there from around November of '84 to September of '87.), say in schools or something. Just curious.

SOROW: Nice to see ya again.
"Ingenue," IIRC, is a word used to describe a talented newcomer to an artistic field or something similar. Example: The song "Prima Donna" from Phantom: Carlota refers to Christine as "your little ingenue."
And "Things Fall Apart" is actually the title of a Season One TGS "Gargoyles" ep ... and quite coincidentally, the first TGS ep I ever read.

**sits back in the big chair, fixating on the candle while Track #13 of the "Mask of Zorro" CD repeats endlessly ... of course, I'm not mentioning the title, but folks who have the disk probably know what it is. :)**

Does anyone in here speak French? If so, find out what the word "Ingenue" means. It's in a song that I'm dancing to.

Really cool coincidence: This week in World Experience we started reading "Things Fall Apart" which I believe is the name of one of the old garg eps. Guess I'll have to read that one over again.

**Glimmer rollerblades into CR**

Had to return the truck to my buddy. It was nice while it lasted.<sigh>

I was just looking at The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes and came across this little gem:

When good King Auther ruled this land,
He was a goodly king;
He stole three pecks of barley-meal
To make a bag-pudding.

A bag-pudding the king did make,
And stuffed well with plums;
And in it put great lumps of fat,
As big as my two thumbs.

The king and queen did eat thereof,
And noblemen beside;
And what they could not eat that night,
The queen next morning fried.

Thought the Pendragon fans would enjoy hearing about their favorite thief.

Let me start by saying I love our cable provider.I get to watch all WB shows twice, once at 5:00 then at 8:00 pacific. Did anybody else notice the look on Faith's face at the end of the episode? Looked liked her Jimney Cricket was trying to make a come back (did she have one to begin with?). I'm really pleased with Willow's new found confidence. That gives a lot of new oppertunities for her character (like that verbal cat-fight). Add the fact that she sticking by Buffy no matter what comes next and you end up with a really strong gal. And the mayor was in love and married?? Shows a whole diffrent side to him.
<END BUFFY SPOILERS>

Disney's Tarzan> I don't know if anybody has pointed this out yet, but for a family/child oriented company they sure have a lot of guys running around in loincloths: Gargoyles, George of the Jungle, The Jungle Book(the cartoon and the live movie), and I'm probably forgeting some.

<TGS AND TD SPOILERS>
I read too many episodes at once, they're all blending together. Let me just shout out SEASON 2 IS ROCKING! great job staff! The stories (and the in-jokes) just keep getting better and better.
"Girl power, that's us!"<grin>
Minigolf <snicker>
"Karma?"<ROTFL>
The ladies are kicking butt and taking names. And it's about time. I forgot what I was going to say next. Oh well.
<END SPOILERS>

I have a question that might have already been answered: If the clan kept the Sun Amulet at the clock tower(ref: end of The Green) wouldn't it have been distroyed during the Hunter's missle attack? If it wasn't destroyed, who has it now? And if the Unseelie took every talismen stronger than a good luck charm out of Manhatan does that mean they now have the Sun Amulet? Or was it taken outside of Manhatan before the Unseelie showed up? Okay, so thats several questions. Answers would be apreciated.

Littleton and the media: Okay, normally I'm a very understanding person. I try to look at all sides of the story before crying wolf, but this is really starting to piss me off! Trenchcoats have basicly been banned from the all county schools and four high schoolers were SUSPENDED for dressing Goth. The faculty's reason: dressing like that was making the other students scared. And just today some kids stole a car to go crusing with their friend and the local news paniced because the cops found two stolen handguns in the car, which the kids used to drive to school.
Now it seems everyone forgot that someone else had driven the car before them and the media already has found them guilty. And to top it off, the local Christian school keeps yelling that none of this would have happened if we had kept a Christian God in the classroom. I'm starting to lose my temper.

Gotta Go
See you guys and gals Friday

I have a question I was told to direct to Deuce and Robby--the Question: would it be okay if some of the characters that are in TGS appear in a story i'm writing--specifically the Unseelie court. I really need an answer to this question. I was told that if I did use them then TGS staff won't read it--following Weismen's rules of fanfic--is that true. I would give TGS staff credit of course, and not use them in a way that would take away from the characters. Please respond??

Kaioto: Thanks for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed Slayer Senshi. I might write a novel like the story someday, if I do I'll definitely follow your advice. Also glad you like what I've done with Charlie, I think he makes a good tragic hero. We will see him and the other vamps again soon (with Jack as a bad guy) in the upcoming fic "Beneath The Streets," which will also develop Charlie further (he'll meet the other good guys and possibly join them), pit the clan against the vamps, force them to seek help from the Rat King, and I might even fit a wedding in the Labyrinth in there, too. :) That fic will also introduce bring onstage the character Thomas Greene. Thanks again for your positive feedback, glad there weren't any problems. I shall keep up the good work.

Current Fic Contest Answers: Nobody has this yet, nobody probably will try, so once again I'll go ahead and reveal the answer. Rex Barnes' looks were based on a character called Big Bear in the original Fatal Fury game (that's a great series of games by the way, I especially enjoy playing Geese Howard. He has cool moves and a lot of character. I got some of the inspiration for Jadriel and the Rose from him). Zip Cassidy is pulled out of the Sega game Streets of Rage 2. He's also known as Skate Hunter. :)

Aaron barges into the CR and yells "Props!" Instantly, a pair of handcuffs appear, grab DC, and then attach him to a chair.

Music! "Stuck In the Middle With You" by Stealer's Wheel begins to play. Excuse us for a minute. And if Tim Roth happens by, I'm not here. Aaron drags DC into the next room. Some screams followed by the sound of a large fire follow. Aaron wanders back in, tucking his straight razor back into his boot.

Quick all replies post.

Gooch> There are also a few other full-auto shotguns. One's called the SPAS-12, it's an 8 shot 12 guage. I forget the name of the other, but it looks like a 12 guage M-16, and fires from a 20 round drum magazine. Funny you should be in Ithica, since they make one of my personal fave shotties, the Ithica 20 guage Auto & Burglar. Only 16'' long, fits great under a coat.

The Clone Jokes> Thanks for the compliments, I wish they were mine to take. I found those on Mefco's Random Joke server, @www.randomjoke.com

Doug:
**Feed back is a wonderful thing, but it can also be a SPOILER**
I finished "Slayer Senshi" a few days ago. I found it completely enjoyable. I think that it was great use of Charlie in that story, a brilliant idea. I found some of the scenes where he wrestles with his thoughts to be very impressive. A few of the others could reach that excellence with a little refining. I'd actually advise running over those scenes depicting the remorseful vampire with a fine come several times again. It has great potential. Maybe a Shakespearean soliloquy would be appropriate in there somewhere? I think that your angle of a average guy resisting this darkness is excellent. Often times, the tragic hero is some sort of destined fellow, a prince like Hamlet etc. Charlie is a great concept. Take him to heart.

I think it is always a good thing when you can effectively pull off the line, "Take it out of my salary," in a story.

I also had very little in the way of problems with the writing style and quality. The scene and perspective shifts are all handled well. It seems like more time and effort spent could make this into a very good novel. I think the key would lay in examining and developing all the characters a little more so that people don't need to carry over their mental images of the Gargoyle's characters.
**End commentary on Doug's work**

Jenniren + Gyre: I think the main reason that the real world isn't informed about the Unseelie or taking action routes into the fact that Madoc has been manipulating Duval and the Illuminati. If you look closely, you'll see a paper-trail back to Madoc and Duval working together. The Quarrymen are the first example. The next lies somewhere in the recent episodes. Madoc is the master manipulator, and is bending the Illuminati back against themselves to keep the main global powers of humanity away from him. He's bend doing it for years as well. Remember the assault of Castle Moray from a resent flashback? He has his hand in everyone's pie when he can. Unless someone like Matt Bluestone and David Xanathos can make waves with the Illuminati, then they won't move until it is too late. Since Matt and Dave (I love calling him that *smirks* would piss him off to no end) are low on the hierarchy, don't expect it to happen without a fight.

It is, however, a great idea to simply run a stealth by and maybe drop a Neutron Bomb or three on the Brocken. Maybe we could even use those point and fry Star Wars lazers Reagan built in the 80's.

Yes, I know these things either don't or aren't supposed to exist, but if you can have Fortress I and II and those Cold Robots, I can have my multi-billion dollar Cold War fueled weapons, OK? :P

Glimmer: Gee, *surprised* thank you very much. I was just happy no one was angry at me for venting.

Green Baron: Thanks for the E-Mail. It was great, and very meaningful.
I'd like to be strong enough some day to meet sudden death with unswerving faith and an unblinking eye.

SJ: I'm not African-America. I don't use that word. (I also don't rap and don't pretend I can. I listen.) I don't object, however, if African Americans want to take a word that was used to degrade them and hurt them and make it into something positive. All the more power too them. You can't always bury the past; sometimes you have to learn form it and change the present to make a better future. I'd rather see a word like that neutered than people try to forget it and have it come back up to hurt folks.

JackaL: Hey, man. You stay clear of that stuff, steer clear of the drugs. I like having you around here too much to have you turn up six feet under. On top of that, I like your posts, so don't kill any brain cells.

Robby: Congratulations on the play. I wish my school could do a good Andrew Lloyd Webber musical next year. I'd so be at casting call.

Arianna: You are a woman. I never had any doubts as to your capacity for utter and inescapable destructive wrath if the spirit moves you. Hell hath no fury like a woman separated from her ISP. I've always though sensory deprivation was cruel and unusual :)

Star Wars Technology: I like light sabers. Oh what I could do with a few of Leonardo's blue prints. His old war wagons would make some nice conversions. :)

BEGIN DC DEATH(first attempt)
As a bus filled with Japanese tourists comes to a stop at Hoover Dam, Glimmer pulls her friend's '56 Chevey pickup to the side(almost hitting a tourist who is stupid enough to stand in the middle of the road taking pictures) and climbes out the window. "Really nead to get the door fixed," she shrugs and moves to the truck bed where she pulls back a tarp. There lies a bound and gagged DC. Glimmer cuts the ropes around his ankles and forces him to his feet. She then forces him to walk through the rabid tourist pack and over to the 'dry' side of the dam. Glimmer stops a moment to admire the view the turns to DC and asks,"Do you have any last requests?" "Guaghunm," DC replies through the gag. Just as Glimmer prepares to toss him over, she starts sneezing uncontrolably. "All right I know you're here some where Mr. Sludge," she says as she scans the crowd. She spots him trying to run back to the parking lot but at the same moment a convoy of rigs starts over the dam cutting off his escape route. "Where do you think you're going Sludge?" Glimmer smirks as she grabs him by the back of the collar and forces him to the ground. She then pulls out a pair of hand cuffs and slaps one end on Sludge and the other to the all ready tied DC. "You two are going to pay for the hell you caused me," Glimmer growls as she pushes them even closer to the edge. "Would it make any difference if I told you I 'm afaid of heights?" Sludge queeried. "Yes, it means I'm going to enjoy this even more," Glimmer replied as she shoved them over the edge of the dam. All the tourists snapped photos as the two villans plunged to their deaths. SPLAT! "I didn't know it was possible for a body to bend in that may directions at once," Glimmer grined as she made her way back to the Chevey and headed towards Lake Mead.

**COMMENTS ON CURRENT TGS EPISODE**

I wanted to say something about this episode before but I just haven't had enough time. This is a magnificent episode. The TGS staff just seems to outdo itself from week to week.

This episode did great on having so many characters at once yet somehow giving all of them characterization. Usually it's tempting to just have one or two characters stand around and talk while the rest are in the background like stick figures (kind of like in an X-Men comic), but the writers avoided that and the story is much better for it.

My favorite parts were the parts concerning the Timedancer family. The glimpses of Timedancer stories that we have yet to see (Graeme and Ariana's adventure while being seperated from their parents during the Timdancing, Graeme's birth and his obviously important destiny, Samson's warning) are just fabulous. So was Ariana and Sata's reaction to all the events going on around them.

And I just loved Demona's line "Yes, detective, as strange as it might seem, I am often kind to small children and animals." That was just great!

But what really got to me was the map of the effected area of New York. I don't live in the effected area but just outside of it, more south and towards the middle of Brooklyn. But the shaded area was just shocking to me. If the story had actually been happening in real life, I would have escaped the plague only by the skin of my teeth, that's how close the map makes it feel.

The pictures were all wonderfully drawn. Besides the map, I particularly like the one of Sata and Graeme. The emotion of it just struck me, fiting in perfectly with the scene.

It's good to see movement on the Unseelie front although I do have to say that up to this point the clan only seems to be reacting instead of actually doing something to seriously hurt the Unseelie. It's good to see them disrupt Madoc's plans but what about stopping them before they even get started?

And when is everyone going to figure out that Sata and Brooklyn know more than they are letting on, that they know more about the future than they said they did? I mean Lex and Elisa have to have to be a little suspicious, Lex in particular since he has heard more slip ups in speech from the twins than anyone else. And when everyone does find out the truth, I wonder what will the reaction be, especially from Lex?

I'm not a regular visitor to the comment room, so I'll keep this brief. I'd like to thank everyone for their encouraging reviews of the recent story and the artwork. Honestly, I was a little wary of the story at the beginning, but it far exceeded my expectations. Special thanks to Christi for ironing out the kinks and for the wonderful pic.

Wavelength> Not sure if you'll get to see this, but kudos to you for being the one to spot the book reference. Yes, it is "Forests of the Night" by S. Andrew Swann.

Pseudo-spoiler> Jonathan "Entity" Cotleur and I are up next week with "Odd Couples". Can you spot them all? :P Jaden, I hope this one will make you feel better.

P.S. The full version of the pic of Zuri from Blood Moon can be viewed on my Gargoyles webpage. (I deemed it a little edgy, so a cropped version was submitted for the story.) As the lower half turned out mediocre at best, I felt it was no loss.

insure Madoc didn't cross him.

Gyre> Ummm...Nuclear war? Isn't that overkill? Surely we can get rid of the Unseelies without poisoning the rest of the planet. But you aren't the only one who's kind of fed up with the way the gargoyles aren't arming themselves properly when they leave the Eyrie to go out and make targets of themselves. Just think. Umbriel would still be alive if Goliath and Elisa hadn't been so careless.

Bombing the Brocken? I'm not sure anyone other than Unseelie knows exactly where it is yet, though I may be forgetting a scene where this was mentioned. But I do think it's about time Puck gave Alex a few scrying lessons so they could find out what the Unseelies are planning (among other things).

I wonder if Sevarius thought of putting any sort of "fail-safe" in the formula that created the Unseelie halflings? Someone suggested that might have been the case with the clones in the Goliath Chronicles ep where they all got that "virus." I know TGC isn't part of TGS continuity, but I think the idea is still good. It would be interesting to see Sevarius get back at Madoc using something like biological warfare. Maybe darts full of some chemical which would discorporate their DNA and reduce their flesh to jelly (hehehe I have a nasty mind today. I should probably keep it to myself.) I can't believe Sevarius wouldn't think of something like this - and be able to implement it.

Submitted in the spirit of the picture accompanying this post...

<Jenniren>: Oops, truth be told I picked the pic at random.
As for the post, my opinion is that the Unseelie
have never truly tasted war, they just play at
it. Is it time to let them know that war has
changed, that a fight with humans risk
setting in motion events that could very well
scour the planet of life as well as obliterate
the Unseelie Court? How would humans do this
you ask, one word, nukes. It is my belief here,
and I emphasize, my belief that the Unseelie are
fated to loose the Second Unseelie War. If the
one's prophecised are killed, as Madoc is now
trying to do, then the more unpleasent of
the possible series of events will occur.
In my mind, this means nuclear war waged
on the Unseelie. One way or another Madoc
will be destroyed.

And anyway, they only insert the FX when there's a lull in the music or an extremely repetitve segment. And anyway, the Vol. 1 rocked! It had Everclear, Radiohead, and Garbage (although I could have done without the SFX in "#1 Crush"), and's not half as bad as other soundtracks I've seen. :-P

What you need is to start inflicting casualties on the Unseelie as in killing them. And Elisa needs to pack some heavier firepower then just her police service pistol. Thought, Illuminati finds out the grid coordinates of the Brocken. These grid coordinates get fed to a NATO artillery
unit on a live fire exercise, and a barrage of improved conventional munitions is fired. The Brocken is smoothered under a rain of hundereds of bomblets released by the incoming artillery shells. Now isn't that a pleasant thought?

Ok anyone not wanting to know a major plot twist for the new Star Wars film revealed should steer clear of even picking up the soundtrack album.

The track list on the back is VERY descriptive and apparently roughs out the plot of the film and some of what happens to the various characters including a BIG event for one of them.

You have been warned.

(Must fulfill my daily quota of blasphemy against rock, you know. ;P ) <<It does have a rather large amount of movie dialogue and SFX (helicopters, sirens, gunfire)>> Shoot. Is there a version without this?

Jackal> <<It may be just me, but I fail to see the "revolting" part.>> Well, it's really the second one that grossed me out, the others are just weird. :P <<Don't have sex. Everything melts.>> For some reason I found this hilarious. <<Do you think he got the girl, yes or no??>> Seriously? No. Worker ants don't <ahem> have relations with each other; they're sterile. The only relations of that nature that occur among ants are between a queen ant and a drone, and that only happens once in the queen's life if I'm not mistaken, after which the drone dies, I believe (although I could be wrong). But then, Disney also portrayed lions as monogamous, so I imagine they either don't know all that much about animals or they've taken to rewriting the laws of nature. I'm betting on the latter; Eisner's rich enough. :P

Wavelength> Oh, you're leaving? For a whole YEAR?! <snif> Bye, and I hope you'll be back sooner than you think. :)

Heather> <hugz> I'm glad your friends were OK; I would have been scared to death!

Steve Gooch> <<The Paras Principle: People like things that kill them>> I'm guessing this doesn't refer to the Pokemon. :P

Spaceballs> Mel Brooks Must Die. I've seen that movie once or twice, and there are a few kewl bits (like the enemy cruiser), but overall, that is the most hideous mockery of a sci-fi movie I've ever seen. I'm amazed Lucas didn't send a few battle droids to the idiot's studio. (Would it truly surprise anyone here if he had real ones?)

Bronx> <<Twidle Bane and Twidle Brain? If it's all the same I'll play your game>> The Riddler, right? One of the kewlest villains ever, right up there with the Clock King and Mr. Freeze. :)

Arianna> Your DC death was *quite* interesting. I had no idea you could be so savage. :) <<A teacher at Cary High School legally changed her first name. To Obi-Wan Konobi>> Eh? a WOMAN changed her name to Obi-Wan?! This is the kind of person who *scares* *me*.

SJ> <<at this point I think Lucas could crap in a box, mark it guaranteed, and have scores of nerdy mouth-breathers clamor to Toys R Us at midnight to buy it.>> Thank you *so* much, now I'll never get that image out of my head. :P

Doug> <<I'll be seeing Star Wars in movie form before I even consider buying the book.>> Same here. It's what I should have done for The X-Files... $<<Let's just say they did get him, so the RP can proceed unimpeded.>> Sounds good to me. <<Oh, I need to know, when the Pokemon humans got assimilated, did they still have their PokeBalls?>> Err...probably. Note: If they do, the Pokemon probably won't follow the Borgs' orders unless they themselves have been assimilated (which is quite likely).$

Zath> <<I was flipping through the channels, saw them doing the eye trick, which I had seen done before>> Oh, I remember that one. Sick, that. :) Hm, kewl mask. I wonder if Brook inspired it on his travels. <g>

**RESUME RP!**

[Location: Somewhere, in the sleeping quarters of a Corellian YT-2000 transport. A comm screen installed in one wall begins beeping persistently. Without bothering to open his eyes, the tigerlike Khafran who's trying to get some sleep draws a blaster pistol from a holster hanging nearby and shoots another screen, this one displaying the time. Apparently he thought the beeping was the alarm clock. When the sound doesn't stop, Djedi opens his eyes, briefly visualizes the violent death of whoever's on the other end, then mutters, "Computer, answer. Audio only." "Djedi Khenmuur?" Djedi: "You were expecting Ta'a Chume?" "My name is Agent Rho, from the Earth defense platform Avatar Of Ganon. Perhaps you remember me?" Djedi: "I've never heard of you or your planet. Now go away; do you have any idea what time it is here?" Rho: "Maybe the name Razor Kiss will jog your memory?" Djedi: "What...that's the Super Star Destroyer that almost blew us out of the sky a few years back! You--<grr> You maniacs almost got us killed, when we were just trying to conduct business and pay off a few debts!" Rho: "You were 'just trying' to smuggle glitterstim spice into the New Republic. You know it's illegal without government sanction." Djedi: "You try telling that to the guy I was running it for. I don't much fancy being fed to a Sarlacc. And as for the New Republic, they can kiss my furry--" Rho: "No need to get offensive, Khenmuur. We require your services." Djedi: "Do you think I'm going to work with you lunatics?! Anyone who proudly flies around in IMPERIAL hardware and works with the stinking DALEKS of all people...No." Rho: "Interesting that you should mention the Empire; they're part of our problem." Djedi: "Are they?" Rho: "Indeed. Ever hear of a fellow named Jerec?" Djedi: "A Dark Jedi, as I recall. Those psychos scare me to death, or they would if I didn't have a few tricks up my sleeve. If I *had* sleeves, that is. But wasn't he killed by some upstart Jedi Knight named Kat or something?" Rho: "Kyle. Kyle Katarn. And no, we don't know how or why he's back, we only know that he's working with a large and very dangerous conspiracy here on Earth--which could make him the new ruler of the galaxy if he succeeds." Djedi: "Ugh. The last time we had a Dark Lord in charge, he tried to enslave or destroy every nonhuman race in the galaxy, in the name of 'human superiority'. I'm in--*if* the price is right. I still have bills to pay, you know." Rho: "If we succeed thanks to your efforts, you'll never have need to worry about money again." Djedi: "Impressive...but I'm still wanted by no less than sixteen governments." Rho: "We have connections; we can take care of that. Besides, you'll be quite the hero if you help us take down Jerec." Djedi: "Hm...Khenmuur and Vashti, Heroes For Hire. I like the sound of that." Rho: "Good. Meet us at these coordinates--" Rho gives the location of Earth and the Avatar Of Ganon-- "as soon as possible. We'll give you your assignment when you arrive." Djedi: "Right. I just hope Toliana goes for this; she doesn't much like working with big organizations." Rho: "I think you can change her mind. Avatar out."

****NO RP TONIGHT****
I was actually planning to do rp tonight, but I'm just really tired so I'll make this short.

****EPISODE SPOILERS****
I liked this one, it was nice to see Maggie show some of that inner strength she has buried.
I just have to say that if the good guys don't start making some offensive rather than defensive moves I WILL GO INSANE!!! What we need to see is Madoc taking a hit just once.
****END EP. Spoilers****

Well good night everyone. See ya later!

Wilek: Yeah, that was pretty trippy (re: "Nerus"). Thanks for the condolences (re: my dead computer). Bitchin' DC death, too. :)

Deuce: You want it, you got it. I sent a few more revenge tips earlier this evening. Enjoy! :)

Stephen Sobotka: Hehe, one of my favorite movies. That quote is just one of the many pop-cultural references I like to put in my stories.

Collectible covers: Ye gods! This is yet another blatant gimmick the publishers are using to separate fools from their money. What kind of doink would spend seven bucks each on the same damn book just because each copy has different covers? Reminds me of when Stephen King's "The Green Mile" was published in six separate parts. Each one cost $2.99. That's almost $18 when you pay for all of them. Yet now the book has been reprinted as a single volume which costs somewhere between five and seven bucks, wherever the paperback prices are right now. Why don't those people just come right out and say, "Bend over!"

Jackal: (re: bestiality) Hmm, that gives me some ideas for more revenge tactics ...

Aaron: Love the clone jokes! I laughed my ass off ... but then I had to find a new way to re-attach it. I tried glue and that doesn't work ... this time I used staples, but they'll probably rust ... maybe next time I'll weld it on, maybe then it'll stay ...

Coyote: Yikes! If I had a nickel for every time a customer pulled something like that on me ... Okay, I've got one for you: A guy came in the other day and wanted corn on his pizza. CORN!!! I just stared at him. Looking back on it, I wish I'd thought of asking him if he wanted kernal or cream style.

Steve Gooch: I've never heard of Ian Slater. But I've heard of the CAWS weapon. That's the one I was thinking about last night, but I couldn't remember what it was called. But dammit, every time I think of a good idea, I find out somebody else already beat me to it. Oh well, at least I'm the first one to think of using _iron_ flechettes, heh heh.

Doug: Sure, go ahead and use it. I don't mind. :) These weapons actually do exist, though the one I have Jack using is slightly exaggerated. And I seriously would like to see somebody in TGS using something like this against the Unseelie. Those bastards really are full of themselves ... it's time to pump them full of iron, because they're starting to become really annoying.

SJ> <<clone tastes more like pork than chicken>> I always thought it tasted like a cross between spam and baloney.

Christine> I finally got the pic of Demona and Jericho scanned, but the scanner seemed to be having some technical difficulties so the pic isn't the best quality (I had to paint over everything that was supposed to be white in photoshop because it came out brown) Click my name to see how it looks now, and if it's not good enough (the colors look grainier than they should and the resolution isn't as good as what I usually get from that machine), I can try rescanning it later this week. If you think it's okay, you can just take it straight from the link and I won't have to brave the horrors of the school computer lab again until I finish my next illustrated quote pic.

Quick addendum:

SJ> There is a TV commercial with Darth Maul in it, they just didn't post it on the official Star Wars website or shown it on TV yet. How do I know this? Well, I haven't had much of a life lately, so I've taken to visiting some obsessed-fans websites who are pretty reliable... :-P

Littleton Copycats> Well, it looks like someone has decided to jump on the bandwagon because now *my* school is supposedly getting threats that it's going to get blown up on the 10th. As usual, the administration doesn't care.

Interesting stuff> I found a picture(click my name to see it) that I took of an African mask in a museum in Houston last summer. It sure looks an awful lot like a certain time-dancing gargoyle, doesn't it.

Green Baron> <<I wonder how Attila and Kitty would react to each other.>> I can imagine them getting together for, loansharking, blackmailing people, or something similar.

Aaron> I went looking for the other book the guy wrote but couldn't find it in any of the local stores (there's only 3 even if you count the used book store), and amazon.com only had the ridiculously overpriced, "oversized paperback" edition. I hate this oversized paperback trend that publishers have started to squeeze more money out of us poor readers. If I ever wanted to spend $10 or more for a book (which I don't), I'd buy it in hardback. <<And I bet Gant would have thought the gargoyles were neat. >> I'm sure he would. Who knows, maybe he'd think they were neat enough to make a cartoon about them...

Speaking of neat things, I was reading an article about large groups of people getting together at dusk to watch flocks (herds, swarms, who knows?) of bats fly out of their roosting places, and it reminded me of Elisa and Matt watching the gargoyles wake up.

Arianna> << About 5'9, or maybe 5'10 now. Either way, too tall. >> You wouldn't say that if you were my height (5'3 in sneakers and standing as straight as I possibly can) and you had to worry about getting poked in the eye with all of the tall people's elbows.

Coyote> <<The reporter had compared him to Marcel Marceau, to which he reacted, "F**k you!">> AND I MISSED IT!?!?!?! Was it before or after the part where they showed how to make it look like you stabbed out your eye? (was it even the same show?) If it was, I'm going to have to go bang my head on the wall, because I was flipping through the channels, saw them doing the eye trick, which I had seen done before, and decided they weren't going to do anything new so I turned off the tv... *grrrrrr*

JackaL> << "Slim Shady" ... "Just the two of uss...." >> A little while ago, we were doing content analysis of music in sociology class and someone brought that song in to play. My teacher got this real shocked look and started telling us how sick we are when we all broke out laughing. I really like that class. Today we made balloon animals for no particular reason. Most people just whined and made the teacher make them, but I did mine myself. I made the Loch Ness monster and a giraffe. If we ever do it again I'm going to try to make a garg.

More survey stuff> (who knows, maybe I'll end up filling out the whole thing a little at a time)

What time is it right now? 11:00pm central
Premarital sex- it's okay, if it's with someone you really love and you use the proper protection
Jerry Springer- most of his shows that I've seen were pretty lame, but I saw one hysterical clip once on Talk Soup where some guy pulled a Loreina Bobbet on *himself* because he supposedly make himself unattractive to his gay former roommate. Jerry brought in the gay guy and it immediately degenerated into an argument over whether or not he sat on and killed the first guy's cat.
KoRn- local stations don't play them (or anything else that isn't country or Spanish) and I'm too cheap to buy a CD.
Corn- grits, hominy, and tortillas are all good, but plain old corn is pretty dull
Death- "CATS ARE NICE." or anything else said in all capital letters
Puppies- puddles
Did you know if you think about what's REALLY happening during sex, you can gross yourself out? What's so gross (unless you get all sweaty, sticky, and stinky)? It's just anatomy, chemistry and a little physics.

Shauntell> <<canal fins (ACK!! I CAN"T REMEMBER WHAT THEY"RE CALLED!)>> are you thinking of caudal fins perhaps?

Kaioto> <<He is a revenant man as well>> I'm pretty sure that's just a typo, but it conjures all sorts of weird images.

Baby Fey> <<Demona always (getting a tattoo of her in 18 days!)>> Wow, what's it going to look like?

Robby> <<give me your hands if we be friends>> Here *Zath gives Robby a hand, literally.* Kitty brought it in this afternoon. I'm not sure who it belongs to, but I don't think they're using it anymore.

Boy this post has gotten long. I hope that's all for now. Bye all.

That low dark voice that gets slower and seems to vibrate, accompanied with walking shadows???? It's just the Demons!!! 3 important things to remember-
1. Never look in a mirror, try to avoid things that cast a reflection, unless you want to stare at yourself for 7 hours.
2. Don't have sex. Everything melts.
3. Avoid bad thoughts, anger and fear mostly.
This has been your guide for a better trip, thank you. No one f***ing cares..., that's isn't the point sh**4brains!! Planting the seed..., the seed..., hehehehehe And what a pretty seed it is!

**RP STARTS HERE**

The screen comes on with an image of the Onslaught, where Doug is speaking into the phone. "You can un-assimiliate them, Wilek?" he says. "Great. Okay, we'll capture the victims and bring them to you. You can go from there. Thanks, bye." He hangs up and turns to the others. "What's DumlaoX's number? We're going to need some kind of Borg stun weapon." "Doug!" Kitainia reminds him. "We don't even know if DumlaoX is still alive." "Oh, right." "Don't worry," says Shauna. "That, uh, Big Jake guy went after him, right? I'm sure they're both okay." "We need to call and find out," Doug says. "Now what's the number?" Suddenly there's a loud explosion. "What was that?" Gubio and Mist come dashing out of the apartment building and hop back into the truck. "What happened?" Stephanie asks. "There was a huge routing server in there, nothing else. As soon as I started fooling with it, a countdown started, and Mist and I had to get out. We didn't find anything." "Damn it," curses Doug. "Oh well at least Thailog won't have his secret line into Nightstone anymore. Okay, glad you two are safe. Now what's DumlaoX's number?" Kitainia takes out her address book. "Let me see." While she's looking, Gubio reports his findings in the search for info on Fleur that Doug told him to conduct earlier. Doug nods. "That's interesting. I wonder who she really is." He shrugs and turns to make a CR post.

**PAUSE RP**

Hi everyone. Hope y'all's day went well. Three more days of classes, then finals, and then another semester will be over. <wipes brow> Man, I'm looking forward to the end. Signed up for classes in the fall yesterday. I'm in Spanish third-semester (I should get in, after the final I will have a definite C in my second semester of that foriegn language :), Histories 351P (History of Religion in America since 1800) and 356N (American Cultural/Social life since 1945; uses novels, plays, movies, music, TV shows as texts), Gov 350K (Statistical Analysis in Political Science, finally I will find out how they do those polls), and ECO 304K (Microeconomics). Excited about most of them, and the one I'm not excited about is a major requirement, so <shrugs> I'll take it just the same.

Fanfic Progress: Second flashback scene is done, I have now introduced seven of Jadriel's eight dragon friends (yes, these dragons will someday make an appearance in the modern part of my fanfic universe. :) There's a purple dragon, a green, a white, two blacks, a yellow, and even a little mercury one. Doing a interior monologue/synopsis of the years between flashbacks, interlude, and then I'll be introducing the possibly most dangerous of Jadriel's dragon pals- Gordion. Heheheh. Oh, and I'm STILL expecting the pic Heather said she had done for me a while ago, and Traveler's feedback. Hope these things appear in my e-mail soon. If you forgot the address, it's next to my name. On to replies.

Pistoff: That sounds like one heck of a cool gun. I think Seth's gonna get something like it (original design based on a Pancor Jackhammer from Fallout 2 and your character's weapon), hope you don't mind me using another of your plans. If not, thanks for the idea.

Deuce: You have a girlfriend? Hey, I didn't know. :) Catherine, huh? Nice name.

Heather: Glad you and your friends survived the tornados. Congrats on your average but still good grade.

Fleur: Glad your e-mail problems are fixed. Did you send me any before they were? (If so, I haven't gotten it.)

SJ: <nods> Yes. That is the reference. <gives cyber-cookie> Now for another one, can you or anyone else tell me what two Sparks in my fanfic I pulled out of videogames (name the characters and the games, doubt anyone will care enough to even try this :( ). $ Hmm, it seems your dad has a way to wipe out the Phalanx. Alright! Hope he uses it soon. :) $

DumlaoX: So you are doing the website? Good. Good luck with the project, hope to see you back in here soon. :)

Patrick Stewart: Okay, now he's doing the voices for two characters in my fanfic (Xavier and Duval). Glad he'll be in the X-Men movie, I've liked the guy in every role he's done. Will see this movie now. <grin>

Wilek: $ They didn't get Meowth? Okay, we got confused. Let's just say they did get him, so the RP can proceed unimpeded. We have plans anyway. Oh, I need to know, when the Pokemon humans got assimilated, did they still have their PokeBalls? $

Kaioto: Good life pledge. May you remember it every day. :)

The Darkest Hour: What, Madoc is starting his war in two weeks? Man, I feel like some other antagonists (the Illuminati, for example. What ARE they up to?) are getting neglected, hope next week's ep doesn't have the Unseelie as the villains. (It probably will.)

Wavelength: Will miss you, friend, though I barely knew you. Hope time flies for you between now and when you're online again.

Terry Brooks: Never really read his stuff. Hear it's good, though. I'll be seeing Star Wars in movie form before I even consider buying the book.

Speaking of which...did you know that today the first wave of fanatic fanboys started their campout in front of the Metropolitan theater here in Austin? They're planning on buying sixty tickets, working in shifts to hold the first place in line and have the theater's okay. And tickets aren't even gonna go on sale for a week! Ai yai yai! Oh well, Kit and I have a plan to avoid the guys who are willing to take time out of their jobs and/or school lives to sit in front of a theater in the burning heat and still see the movie the first day. What is that plan? Well, let's just say a new megaplex theater with the latest in sound and screen tech is opening in Austin on the same day as the Star Wars movie comes out. This theater is sure to be showing the Star Wars movie (they'll want to open with a bang) and they're not going to be selling tickets for movies at the theater before the theater opens, right? So all we have to do is finish our last final on the 18th, and then zip over to that theater and camp out for a night in Jammer's car. In your face, fanboys!! Whoo!! (Note, plan may not work. But we're gonna try it anyway. We will see the new Star Wars movie on the first day no matter what.)

Arianna: Some Star Wars freak changed their name to Obi-Wan Konobi? Now that's interesting. Not as shocking as what I heard on the radio this morning along with the above fanboy stuff. I heard some guys are getting Star Wars tatoos to celebrate the new movie. One fellow got a lightsaber tatooed on his...ahem...lightsaber. No women will probably see it according to the radio host, I pity the kind of guy who willingly puts himself through so much pain.

**BEGIN BUFFY SPOILERS**

Mandi- Basic plot is the Mayor gets this box that contains fifty billion vicious demon spider creatures of some sort. If he opens it during the Ascension, bad news. Buffy finds out he got the box, she, Angel, and Willow steal it as part of taking the fight to the Mayor. In the process Willow is kidnapped by Faith. She manages to escape her confines after killing a vamp guard, and finds the Books of Ascension. After ripping out and pocketing some vital pages, Willow is caught by Faith and the two almost get into a catfight. The Mayor stops it, and then he gets a phone call saying Buffy and co. will trade the box for Willow's freedom. So they make the trade (Wesley objects, saying the box should be destroyed, but Oz breaks the spell that can do so and the gang can't back out on a friend). They meet each other in the cafeteria and do the trade, but Snyder breaks in and his cop pals accidentally open the box, releasing the spiders. The good and bad guys team up temporarily and take out a few of them, Snyder whimpers and wonders why they can't be "trading drugs like normal people." Then the Mayor grabs the box, closes it, and escapes with Faith in tow. :( So he's got the spiders, but at least Willow still has the vital pages from the Ascension Books that the Mayor never realized were missing. Hope Giles finds something good in them. I think you may already know the rest.

I thought this was a great episode myself. Cool plot, great development on Willow (loved the parts where she swore to stay with Buffy, fight evil, and help people; and when she told Faith off!). The action was also neat, and all the actors did their usual excellent preformances in their roles. The scene where the Mayor talked about Buffy and Angel's romance (how can you two be together, when one of you will stay forever young while the other ages, and one of you will go evil if you ever have sex again) and their reactions to it was also very good. Best of all, it was a new episode. I have been waiting so long for one of those, even a somewhat mediocre one was good. Next week's the prom, that should be interesting. :)

**SPOILERS END, BACK TO POST**

Green Baron: $ Yes, you certainly have created a monster. And Pastor John is back? Oh boy. We'll have to establish how in a few RPs or so (probably he's become a powerful devil himself, working for Synatia, that female pit fiend who was impersonating his wife. Shap only banished her back to Hell but didn't kill her, after all). I hope you have plans for the rest of Synatia and Gothmenes' coven. $ And I too would buy Angela Nukem, and play it often. <grin>

Okay, that's all for now. Later!

**BEGIN 2ND HALF OF RP**

"Here's the number!" Kitainia calls out, and shows it to Doug. "Thanks," Doug says, dialing it. "Hello, is this DX? T-Loco? Oh, right, DX said we could call him by reaching you. Do you know where he is? He's with you, and recovering from great pain? Good. And Jake is also there? Even better. Listen, can you guys meet us in Longdale, Colorado? We're heading there now in response to a Borg incident. How will we get there? Very fast. We have this special form of travel. It's very dangerous, but will get us there in less than an hour. See you, Jake, and DX soon." He hangs up and says, "Okay Jammer, start driving towards the most deserted part of town you can find. Lathrop, plane shift us as soon as we're there." "Doug," the wizard, "are you sure we should be doing this? None of you have ever actually been on the Astral Plane, and I have only a laywizard's knowledge of it." "We have to do it, Lathrop," Kitainia says. "We'll deal with the danger." "Alright," Lathrop shrugs. He waits till they're in the right location, then casts the spell. The Onslaught disappears from this plane, reappearing in a nearly featureless landscape of floating debris and gray light. "Welcome to the Astral Plane," Lathrop tells the party. "Mr. Murdoch, drive straight towards that big stone statue floating over there." Jammer nods. "Okay." Halfway to the statue, arrows and spells suddenly start pinging off the Onslaught's sides. "What the hell?" Boris asks. "Are we under attack?" Lathrop glances out the window. "Yes, by githyanki. I was afraid of this happening." The screen chooses this moment to flash "to be continued" and wink out.

RP WARNING
**Memphis, TN
First Congregationalist Church
In a circle of people formed around an undecorated bare cross, Ted Turner sits. Among the circle is Rev. Cheryl Cornish, the pastor of First Congregationalist, Sr. Sue Russell, Bishop Gumbleton of Detroit, Archbishop Weakland of Milwaukee, Jerry Falwell, Pastor John (returend from Hell), Jimmy Swaggart, and the Orange Duke. Suddenly they begin chanting in the vernacular.
"Oh Gothemenes, grant that Brother Ted here shall be given the powers to destroy the Catholic schoolgirl scouts and that insipid Green Baron. Grant him his vengeance for his soul and...... ah! Falwell's,"
"Hey, huh! Yeeough!" Jerry Flawell has now been incinerated and sent to Hell.
"to serve your evil deeds and end those adversaries and allow Weakland to become Pope as the new reign begins under your rule."
The circle glows engulfing Ted Turner and in his place is some stereotypical demon with Ted Turner's face.**

I also liked Demona's reaction to Circe's spell and the reaction Angela and Demona had of Fox's armor. I am also surprised by Sekhmet's threshold for pain as she wielded teh iron.**
END SPOLIERS

Now I just need to catch up with Timedancer, but I went from Disobedience to Blood Moon in just two weeks.

Robby> Congratulations on your Pucking.

Wavelenght> I'll miss you.

Pistoff> I love it. Angela Nukem. That is a game I would gladly pay money for.

Wilek> Thanks. I've always been a little investmnet happy. Now, I just need some money.

Doug> $ No, I have created a monster :)$

**Robby hobbles in on a pair of crutches and in a cast. ** You hade to wish that I'd break a leg DIDN'T you?

In all seriousness, the play went down great. With an Oberon that stood at 6'5" and had a booming voice, he practically stole the show. And our "wall" was pretty dang good too. And so was the ass. (Donkey people, get your minds out of the gutter!) Those people would have stolen the show if not for the guy who played Puck.

SJ- Ah, then the Patrick Stewart thing is good news indeed!

Okay, I know there's more to say, but I'm still high on play energy, and today's ReBoot episode, (Showdown) and can't concentrate all that much right now. Laters!

Attached Song- Star Trek 2

****BEGIN RP****
Sevarius Jr. and Kari, together with the Hounds, continued to follow the odd creature made of straw, the Scarecrow. It had seemed like hours now that they had been traveling, and they were beginning to experience the first symptoms of fatigue.
"I don't remember the park being this big," SJ muttered unhappily.
"It's not," the Scarecrow called back. "You've entered into a pocket in space."
"What?" Kari asked in disbelief.
"Sorry, thought you knew," the Scarecrow said. He kept walking, showing no signs of tiring. "We've been in an alternate dimension for quite some time now."
"Well, it would have been helpful to have mentioned that beforehand!!!" SJ growled.
"Oh, calm down. It's not so bad. What, did you really expect Eisner to have an office on Earth? He's got quite a few enemies you know. You don't pull down half a billion a year without someone resenting you."
"Alright, alright. I get the picture. It's just that I don't like walking into strange dimensions unless I have to, okay? Besides, where are we?"
"It's obvious, boy." the Scarecrow said dismissively.
"No. No, Oz is a movie. It's a little kid's book. It's--"
"Where you are now," the Scarecrow said. He stopped, and turned back to the heroes. "Look, if you don't like it, turn back. No one's stopping you. I wanted your help, but if you keep moaning about the situation, you can leave for all I care."
SJ frowned for a moment. "Sorry." he said reluctantly.
"Apology accepted. Now let's go, we need to find shelter before dark. Oz isn't pretty at night." Suddenly, the straw man stopped. The Hounds cocked their heads curiously, then began to growl, a deep sound in their throats.
"What's going on?" Kari asked. She gripped her spear tighter. "What's...what's that noise?"
An odd sound, like a flock of birds could be heard, distant at first but growing closer.
"Oh damn," Scarecrow said, shaking his head. "Damnit."
"What? What is that noise?" SJ asked.
Scarecrow turned to him, his black-button eyes showing as much frustration as they could. "Get ready, my friends. The Wicked Tribe of Flying Monkeys is about to rain down on us."
****END RP FOR NOW****

Robby: The news clip that I heard said not that Patrick Stewart was *favored* for the part of Xavier, or *being considered* for the part of Xavier, but that he had PROMISED himself that he was going to do the part. Personally, I'm thrilled. Who'd be a better X-man than Jean-Luc Picard?

*****BUFFY SPOILERS***
Maybe it was just me, but I thought this was a hohum episode tonight. Mediocre. After, oh, 2 or 3 MONTHS of reruns, I wanted something a little more. Still, it was a decent enough episode, with some cool moments (like those evil demon bugs in the box), and the way the Mayor was talking about Buffy and Angel's relationship (surprisingly, he made a lot of sense. "Do you really think you can give her happiness?"). Let me say it again: I hope that Faith dies. But at least she wasn't so annoying this episode.
BTW, maybe it was just me and my own often uncontrollable hormones, but Willow looked DAMN good in that dress. ;)
****END BUFFY SPOILERS****

Kaioto: Ah, DMX. I do believe that he wrote a rather nice little bit of poetry called "My Niggaz". *Sigh* No offense, I know you like him, but I don't get any rapper who wants to use that word. That's probably the single most offensive word EVER to refer to African-Americans, and he throws it around nonchalantly. Then I see all the little yo-boys around, these rejects from that "Pretty Fly for a White Guy" video, singing along.......Marilyn Manson may be horrendously offensive to...well, everyone, but I'd take him and his satanic verses any day over someone who lovingly refers to his friends as his "niggaz".

Terry Brooks: Ugh. For some reason, I've never liked the man's writing. I'd hope for the novelization to fail, but at this point I think Lucas could crap in a box, mark it guaranteed, and have scores of nerdy mouth-breathers clamor to Toys R Us at midnight to buy it.

Aaron and your questions: Ahhhhh......tooo...many.....clone...questions.......brain hurting.....vision clouding.....AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, and surprisingly, clone tastes more like pork than chicken.

SW Trailers: Star Wars has created 4 separate 30 second tv trailers for the film, highlighting 4 different characters: Qui-Gonn Jinn, Queen Padme Amidala, Shmi Skywalker, and Anakin Skywalker. Go to the official Star Wars site (www.starwars.com, or www.darthmaul.com), or click on my name to go there. I just wish they made a Darth Maul commercial...

***DC DEATH SCENE****
Arianna walks rather serenely into the CR. She looks around, and spots Dis Connect. She walks over to him, and smiles sweetly. Arianna: "Mr. Dis Connect?" DC: "Yes?" Arianna: "Hi, I'm Arianna. Most people say I very patient and that I have a lot of self control..." DC:"That's nice. I'm glad for you." Arianna:"But you didn't hear the rest of my statement. DC:"Well, then, by all means, finish." Arianna: *laughs maniacally* "They're entirely wrong!!!"
Arianna conjures up magical energy, which melts DC into a pool of black liquid. Arianna: "You know, you really shouldn't mess with my computer. I have work to do. I don't like being disconnected from the 'net over and over again." Arianna conjures an Annwian black diamond, which glows with magical energy. With an ancient spell, she locks DC within the diamond. Arianna: "And the best part is...he's entirely aware of his surroundings!"
***END DC DEATH***

Okay, that felt good. I am so annoyed. My computer is a piece of junk. *turns to evil computer spirit that already doesn't like her.* kidding, kidding.

Anyway. I noticed a lot of talk about the new Star Wars movie. I'm not a huge Star Wars fan. I was raised primarily on Trek, and the only time I ever saw Star Wars was in hotels on trips. I like it well enough, though.
But here's the story: I was listening to my favorite radio station. They had one of those little news things. I was so shocked when I heard it that I almost drove off the road. A teacher at Cary High School (I think it's in Wilmington...I could be wrong.) legally changed her first name. To Obi-Wan Konobi (spelling is probably wrong.). Just me reporting on something that totally took me by surprise.

Hmmm...the Red Wings are playing the Avalanche? Interesting. I honestly had no idea that the Stanley Cup playoffs were going on (shows you how much I watch hockey -- actually, I would, if I had more time.). Anybody know if the Carolina Hurricanes are still in -- or, probably more appropriate, who the Hurricanes lost to? (am I the only one who was really wondering about a hockey team in North Carolina? I mean, it's so...warm...here. Oh, well.) Apologies to anybody I offended. My knowlege of hockey is more limited than my knowledge of football (and I only know enough of that to know that the Panthers did really badly this year...)

Well, I better go do some homework. :( I hate school!!!!!
Apologies for a very random post.

***EXCESSIVELY PAINFUL DC DEATH!***

** Deuce walks in, chest heaving. He turns to Dis Connect, who scurried back a few steps in horror. Deuce looks REALLY mad. "What's the big idea, eh? I had to try FIFTEEN TIMES to get onto the frickin' Internet! FIFTEEN TIMES! And now I'm only connected at 31200 bps! YOU SON OF A—"

** Deuce stops, collects himself, and pulls out a gigantic roll of chicken wire. Forcing DC to the ground, he strips the hacker naked and presses the chicken wire flush with Dis's body. He then staples it to the ground, and attaches several electrodes to the chicken wire. Firing up a large generator, Deuce smiles bitterly as Dis screams with the pain of electricity dancing across his skin.

** Deuce turns off the generator and removes the chicken wire, revealing a cross-hatched hexagonal patter of open burns across Dis's body. Throwing three water balloons filled with lemon juice onto Dis, Deuce turns to face the CR. **

***END KILLING!***

Coyote> You know how I feel about the Antichrists — er, Avalanche. I'll be rooting for the Wings, you can believe that. (The Wings, and whoever goes against the Stars...).

Heather> Yeah, I heard about those tornadoes, and I was kinda worrying about you. Good thing you and your friends are OK.

Wavers> Don't know if you'll see this, but BYE!!!

Aaron> LOVED those clone jokes! Some of them are actually serious philosophical questions....

Ugh... my head still hurts... and Dis's agonized screams aren't helping. Gotta go pop some more asprin.

A weird sort-of SW-related incident: My roomie and I were at Toys 'R Us yesterday just killing time (neither of us collects toys; in fact, she doesn't like sci-fi), and we were pretty giddy for some reason that day; we were laughing at the strangest things. :-P Anyway, she picked up one of those rotating lollipops of the Jedi Knight Qui-Gonn Jinn, pressed the button to start the motor or whatever it is that causes the lollipop to spin around and Qui-Gonn's arms to move, and nearly collapsed from laughing so hard. I asked her what was so funny, and she gasped out, "Spaceballs!" and showed me the lollipop-holder. Well, I started laughing too because there's something oddly perverted about the way Qui-Gonn is wielding his lightsaber on that spinner...

Hey all,

Just dropped in 'cause I saw the mention of "assault shotgun" a few times. Pistoff, I hate to break it to you, but you didn't originate the idea of a fully-automatic shotgun loaded with flechette rounds, unless of course your real name is Ian Slater and you're an Australian military novelist :) That guy wrote a couple books in a series called "World War Three" and on occasion there's a mention of a "Winchester 1200" full-auto, 8-round shotgun firing flechettes. Guess I'll add what I've got in a little book called "The Directory of the World's Weapons:"

-Smith & Wesson AS Series
12-Gauge
9 Lbs. 12 Oz. unloaded
375 RPM single-shot, 30-round burst, or full-auto
10-round magazine
standard layout

-Pancor Jackhammer
12-gauge
10 lbs. unloaded
240 RPM full-auto
10 round drum
Bullpup layout

-Olin/Heckler & Koch CAWS (Combat Automated Weapon - Shotgun or something)
12-gauge
9 lbs. 8 oz unloaded
No data avaliable for RPM, fires full auto, slugs, ball bearings, or flechettes out to 150 meters
10 round magazine
Bullpup layout

Hope that helps. Be back later tonight.

Though I'm not going to answer them, either.
Incidentally, dude, Dezzie doesn't happen to look like that gal in Pulp Fiction with the 49 body piercings of various size and locations, does she? Just curious.

Speaking of hockey, how many folks are willing to go in on a bet with me that says Traveler's answer to the "Satan" question in the survey is he thinks of Miroslav? (Remember him, Deuce? :)

This morning ... very first phone call I get is someone looking for rear brake shoes for their Lincoln. I asked them, rather standardly, what size rear brakes they had.
"What?"
"Does the vehicle have 10" or 11" drums?"

Tempted reply: "I'm sorry, you have the wrong number then. You're obviously looking for the Psychic Hotline." :)

Okay, that's enough foolishness outta me. **places a small purple hippo wearing a Red Wings sweater next to the candle, then sits in the chair. Other CR denizens look at him funny.**

As you may know from yesterday Oklahoma and Kansas were hit by a F-5 tornado. It first hit Oklahoma around 7 PM last night; it hit Oklahoma, Moore, and Shawnee county. The neighborhood were I lived was the few places that was not hit by this tornado, but Moore had over 30 deaths in 3 hours.
I thought my friends and the coolest English in world Mrs. Lackey were killed. I had my mom call information and she got Mrs. Lackey's daughter. After I heard that they were alright I broke into tears. **wipes them away** I'm sorry, I feel that someone that was over there should tell this first other than people that just heard it on the news.

This is my last day online for a very long time. I'm sorry I haven't posted here much, but the place is so busy that I just don't have three hours every day to read back posts.

I wanted all the staff to know how much I've enjoyed TGS, I've been reading it since the beginning and still look forward to it every Monday and Thursday. I'm not sure what I'll do now that I won't be seeing it till January. Thank you all so very much for all your hard work, and good luck with it for as long as the series may last. :)

P.S. Is that S. Andrew Swann's 'Forests of the Night' that got a cameo in Blood Moon? Terrific book, everyone ought to read it.

Revolting questions...., Hmmmm, how so?
1. Basically asking if it's ok to say "F***ing" in front of my daughter.., but I've alwayz cussed in front of my son, soo..., I already have my answer, anyway...
2. The girl I was refering to, her name is Dezzie, she's my sweety. I'd never want to be left alone with her, I sent Mr. Baron a sample of me and Dezzie's converstation last night..., I think he knows why I'm afraid of her, she's not right.., she's just not right.... that's all I'm gonna say.
3. Did the stupid bug get the girl, what do you think?
It may be just me, but I fail to see the "revolting" part.

Hehehee, Pistoff said bestiality, hehehee ::remembers incident last week::

Tupac's prrrrreeeeetttttyyy nifty, hehe. There's times even KoRn and Manson must take a back seat to Pac!

Side note: My dad and I got in an "arguement" about God. How he wants Him to be in my life again..., I was like, I believe he exists what more do you want?
So he started askin me why I have a dislike for the "Almighty".
Anyway to make a long story short, a friend of mine gave me her copy of the Satanic Bible and we're gonna give it to my dad..., We're bad ain't we?!??
It's amazing how I ramble about nothing, ain't it?

I just found these, thought I'd post them as questions to annoy Sevarius with. Appologies in advance.

If the DNA bloody glove were cloned and produced a baby O.J. Simpson, then could we get a guilty verdict?

If we cloned Dolly Parton, would the clone be flat chested? I bet it would.

Are the Pope and his clone both infallible? What if they disagree on something?

Could you clone Alan Greenspan, or would it have to be living tissue?

If Henry IV were cloned would he be Henry V or Henry IV Jr. or, wait... Henry IV Part II?

If the Hare Krishnas start cloning themselves, how will the rest of us find out?

If you cloned a prehistoric monster that destroyed Tokyo, wouldn't that be like playing Godzilla?

Would it work if I binged and my clone purged?

If Michael Jackson were cloned, is it against the law for him to play with himself as a child?

Do clones taste like chicken?

Would cloning cheapen and demean those penthouse 'twins' pictorials?

Would there be a mark
et for genetic "factory seconds" and "irregulars"? Should we clone Gen X'ers so there will be enough of them working to support Social Security when I retire?)

Would it be ethical to dig up the remains of our founding fathers, create clones from the bone cells, and place them in a theme park called "Clonial Williamsburg"?

Is it true that if you clone yourself four times, one will be Chinese?

So, say I secretly cloned Bill Gates and raised him to trust me utterly and then killed Bill Gates and replaced him with the clone and then had the clone make me his sole eneficiary and then I killed the clone. Would it be wrong to do this to Bill Gates?

If Larry King clones himself and interviews himself on his show, wouldn't that pretty much make nuclear war something we can all look forward to?

If my clone had a sex change operation could I legally marry her? After all, she'd have an irresistible dry wit.

Would we want to keep a few ugly people around just, you know, to have a few laughs?

Could they clone Al Gore or would he have to be grafted?

If cloning becomes readily available, will the bottom drop out of the market for sperm donors? How am I supposed to pay my bills?

Some people might keep a clone of themselves in deep freeze for organ transplants. How many Boris Yeltsins would be needed for an adequate supply of livers?

Later.

Totally off topic > Terry Brooks is going to make a frockin' FORTUNE off of royalties! I knew he wrote the novelization of Episode 1, but until I went into the bookstore yesterday, I had no idea they were releasing umpty-humpty collectible editions of it each with a different character on the cover! !! Good grief! Because all the die-hards are going to get the whole set ... how cool that will look set up on a shelf with all the covers facing out ... oh, for the day far in the future when I will land such a sweet deal!

Sorry ... just had to get that off'n my chest ...

****TGS SPOILERS****
Conspiracies: Great story, very well written. It was nice to see mention made of the illuminati again. Sata's reactions to her pregnancy and Brooklyn's concern for her were well written and interesting to read.

Blood Moon: Excellent episode. It's great to see that the Unseelie are finally beggining to make some serious moves towards taking over the world. All of the characters were well written, especially the insight we gained into Maggie's character. The battle scenes were fast moving and entertaining to read. The illustrations are excellent and to a great job supplementing the story.

To the authors of _Blood Moon_: Well done! An enterntaining read and it is setting up some interesting ideas for the future.
However, may I offer a suggestion? If you want to maintain willing suspension of disbelief, have our heroes (heck at least Dracon and his goons) start using iron on the Unseelie. Yes, I know I'm only a critic, but damn it, as warriors who know their foe, aren't going to let a weakness like that go un-exploited. Even if they don't it makes for better drama.
Thanks for the story, the time and the forum.

** Deuce walks in with a machete, slicing Sli Sludge in half and cutting off Dis Connect's big toe. **

Wilek> A twin-bladed lightsaber? Coolies! Those things are a lot of fun: some friends and I made some out of long cardboard tubes, and they're actually quite effective weapons. ["I've seen the thing a zillion times in music stores and I had no idea what was on it!"] Just make sure, if you buy it, to get Volume 2. It does have a rather large amount of movie dialogue and SFX (helicopters, sirens, gunfire), but a damn fine CD nonetheles... and "O Verona" is just part of the coolness.

Pistoff> Gawd, I love those revenge things! Think you could email me some more?

That should be all for now. I'd better check my email.

** SPOILERS **
Great episode. I liked the female character development and the use of Demona's character was excellent. She was willing and unwilling in a delightful conflict that portrays her perfectly, especially how she verbally back-hands Fox. The Unseelie arrogance come up again , but I still don't get why no one is using iron weapons … works great for me. Sun Tzu would have many harsh words for the gargoyles in this situation. Their enemies control the terrain, the supplies, and the gargoyles aren't even packing weapons. Also, beautiful pictures. I especially thought the Blood Moon picture of Sata and Graeme was incredibly moving.
** END SPOILERS **

Rambling thought:
You know, sometimes it is crazy, trying to live. I look at my life, in retrospect, and think, "How the hell did I survive that? How did I walk away from that without violence? What made me keep going? Why didn't I take the easy way out?" You can tell, I was tormented as a child. Then I look at others, and can only think, "Damn, but how much worse they had it than me." And I wonder how they went on, were good people.

I also look into my past, at 18 years of age, and find many regrets. Little things that could've made a big difference. The story of my life seems to be being too lazy, scared, or apathetic to do something. I've been dismissing choices all my life. I've made decisions on what I thought was whim, without understanding why. I look back now, and see the why. I'm looking into the future now, something very promising, and I think to myself, "I want this." I listen to my heart, and it says, "I want this." I look into my soul, and see I want this.

But then I look up ahead,
A decision to be made,
Seems so insignificant,
At the first glance.

But becomes plainly dear,
In importance to me,
With each week's reflection.

It's going to shape my life,
Who I am,
What I can do.

I realize there is likely,
Going to be temptation,
Temptation to dismiss this,
A chance like the others.

This time, however,
I'm going to ask "why,"
And get a respectable answer,

Or I'm going to get over it ,
And live the life I want,
With my heart and soul.

God grant me the peace,
To live my dreams
God grant me the Light,
To walk my path,
God grant me the strength,
To follow my heart …

Sorry for rambling …

Anyway … I just felt like airing that out. Sorry guys.
SJ, Pistoff: I hated country. I hated rap. Now I still dislike rap, and country. However … my experiences have lead me to find one artist in both genre's who's music I like and how I can respect.

Garth Brooks - Country Music's last, best hope to recover from the 70s. Elvis was a country boy, you know. There is hope for country. Also, Garth is a good role model for kids, even if he does dress funny. His music is moving, lively, and sometimes there are "message" songs in there too.

DMX - Rap's redemption. This guy is the One and Only. My room mate from NYC introduced me to his music. It is incredible. He has powerful songs. He also has those message songs that are incredibly moving. He is a revenant man as well.

Rap: Sure, there are gangster themes and offensive lyrics. You know what, life in the inner-city is vulgar, violent, and painful. I know where my family came from. I didn't always have the luck to live in the 'burbs, and I work charity in poor communities. I've never even been a minority and I sympathize. I've learned to listen to rap with both ears. DMX opened the door, though. I still hate much of rap, and am learning to hate Will Smith's music, but I used to think of Tu-Pac as just some no-talent thug. I've learned to listen. I've learned to hear. And for that, I will always be grateful.

DumlaoX anyone else into rap: DMX's CD, "Flesh of my Flesh, Blood of my Blood" I've been listening to it via my roommate. "Ready to meet him" Track 16, amazed me. It is something that really makes me stop and think …

My friend Joe will be running "Absolute Zero" his radio show from 9 to 11 EST (chat room time) on Bentley College Radio, WBTY. Most of you can't catch it on the radio, but we broadcast on the internet. Follow the links from WWW.WBTY.COM I'll be on assuming I can roll out of bed. :) Be there :)

Finally, here's a song Robby helped me dig up for a very special Gargoyle Gal by the name of Lexy-chan. :)

Lost my post earlier, so let's try this again:

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

[Scene opens as the "Big-Bird" slowly flies over the eastern border of Iowa, then switches to the interior...]

Inside the med-bay, Big Jake is waiting as a pair of servo arms fishing wraping a bandage around his chest. He looks over at the still-comatose form of DX on a nearby bunk, sighing heavily.

"You say it's some kind of virus that's keeping him alive?" he asks, calling out to Jess, who is fiddling with something at the jet's communications panel.

"That's right," his elfin companion replies, probing an odd-looking piece of machinery with a tool. "While I can't identify it, I did figure out how it's working to sustain his vital signs. It's a real miracle of bioengineering."

Pulling himself to his feet, Jake staggers out of the bay, taking the time to look back into the back of the jet, where a pair of repair assemblies are feverishly working on his 'bike, "Sara-Jane".

"Have you contacted that person on his headset gear? We need to know what we can do to help him."

Sticking her tongue out of one corner of her mouth, Jess replies, "No dice. The gear must be keyed to his voice or some other activation key." Something in the device clicks, and Jess hoots with triumph. "Got it! Good thing this telecom node was salvagible from one of those drones."

Jake slides into a jump seat next to her. "Can you use it without having it infect Big-Bird?"

"I ran it through a gravametric field ionizer. Any Borg nanites that may have been active inside it are dead now," Jess explains. She starts hooking cables from the communitcations panel into the node. "Besides, I've got one of the best anti-viral programs in all of BB's systems." She fiddles with a few more controls, doning a transciever headset as she works to break into the Borg Collective's comm-net.

"It better work," Jake says, "or else I took those ten rounds with Bess for nothing."

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

STICKMAN> Fanfic comics? Interesting...

COYOTE> Quick question: Which vinyl decals did you end up cutting for me, and if I owe you anything for them, what?

SURVEY> Sorry, I avoid those like the plague when I can.

COMMENTS, LATEST G/P EP> Very good piece of work, gang! A well done story all round, and I love the artwork! Tony and Christi did a great job!

*** WARNING! SHAMELESS PLUG AHEAD! ***

In Two Weeks Time... Get Ready for the RUMBLE in Manhattan!

Prepare for "The Darkest Hour", written by Todd Jensen, Stephen R. Sobotka, Jr., and Batya Levin. With contributions by Christi S. Hayden, Patrick Toman, and Kathy Pogge.

*** END SHAMELESS PLUG! ***

PISTOFF> (Re: Angela Comment) A-Hem! Better not let the great Rowdy Roddy hear that! He made that phrase famous! :)

And, with all that out of the way...

***** RESUME RP! *****

"I got it!"

Jess finally gets the communications gear attuned to the Borg Collective Comm-Net, listening in over her headset.

Next to her, Big Jake watches her face as she continues to fine tune the transmitions. "They talking about anything important?"

Jess waves his questions to silence. "Theres... something about 'assembling armies'... 'going back in time'... sounds like I tapped into a comm-log node... wait! A location in Colorado? Sounds like some Borg have been there, but are going back!"

Jake grimaces, "That doesn't sound good."

Jess nods, then she gets a very shocked look on her face. "Wait! I just got hold of a recent transmition from someone called Guod... to the captial!?" She tries boosting the power a bit, listenting for a few moments more. "Oh, geez! That message from Bess was on the level! I just heard Thailog speaking to someone named Kinkaid... he's been told to take the Ravens away, and eliminate them!"

Jake slams a fist onto the console. "Great! We've got two problems; either we go to Washington to warn the Ravens, or we head out to Colorado to stop the Borg."

Jess removes her headset. "We've also got to deal with DX... I don't like the idea of him being out like he is now."

"You could just wiggle your fingers and..." Jake starts to suggest.

"Oh-no! You know I can't do that, Jake! Oberon strictly forbids me to use any application of my powers," she says angrily. "If I was to help him like that-!"

"You know how I feel about Oberon, Jess," Jake snaps," and he knows not to mess with you when I'm around! Remember what happened the last time?"

Jess can't help but giggle. "Oh, yeah! Still... remember what happened the last time too? I use my powers, I won't be any good to you for at least seven days. You sure you want me to tap out like that, especially when you need back up?"

Jake looks back at the med-bay, where DX is still lying. "Hon, if DX is as potent a fighter and tech-head as I've heard, I think all my bases will be covered... but, we need to make a decision soon, or it might be too late for the Ravens..."

[The scene closes as both Jake and Jess are looking at each other, trying to make up their minds...]

Fleur: Glad you liked the revenge tactics. I've got thousands of 'em. If there's somebody who's really driving you nuts, try to get your hands on his house key. Make a copy and return the original. Then, when he's away, get into his house and start looking around. If he's got, say, a half-empty container of ice cream in the freezer, replace it with a full one. A few tricks like this, and he'll think he's losing his mind.

Also, buy a pair of shoes that are exactly like his ... except a half-size smaller. Break them in real good to make them look as "lived in" as his original pair, then pull the switcheroo. Do this every day or so, each time replacing the previous pair with one that's a half size smaller. When people start to ask why the guy is walking funny, tell them that he has the clap.

A similar trick can be done with hats, if the bully wears them. After a few days he will think his head is bloating.

Or, if the situation requires a "quickie," just slip a condom over his exhaust pipe when he's not looking. It looks really amusing when it starts to inflate.

I'll leave the more vicious, violent ones out of this for now ... but if anybody wants suggestions, feel free to ask. I've got a ton of 'em. :)

SJ: Gotta agree with you, rap is crap. And as for country music ... well, if people want to blame devil-worship and teen suicide on heavy metal, it's only fair to blame bestiality and incest on country music.

**rimshot**

Kitainia: Well, I've heard of assault shotguns that can fire something like 600 or 650 rounds per minute. It's got six rotating barrels, like a Gatling gun. I saw one in the movie "Split Second," which is kinda where I got the idea--though the idea of loading it with flechette rounds was entirely mine, tee hee hee. And even if this doesn't really exist, well, neither do criminals with full-body prostheses (Jackal and Hyena). So we've got some room to be creative, here.

Personally, I'd love to see Angela get totally fed up with the Unseelie and their minions, grab a weapon like this, and just go medieval on them. "I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick faerie ass ... and I'm all out of bubble gum!"

**RP**

[Someone on the Avatar Of Ganon recieves a call from the Black Ravens and redirects it to Wilek in Disney World. Wilek: "Oh, hey, Doug...hm, disassimilating Borg? Well...our Borg on the Avatar can probably do it, maybe by a process of reverse assimilation or something. I think they can retune their nanites to remove Borg components from other collectives, rebuild any organic matter that was removed, then disintegrate. I can send a team of Borg to do that if you like. Failing that, I'll send a ship to pick them up and take them back to the station to be worked on. If the Doctor can bring back a girl who was a Borg for most of her life, a coven of Borg can bring back Guod's new recruits. Right. Bye. <to Argent> Now where were we...Oh yeah, the Haunted Mansion. I think you'll like this..."]

**PAUSE RP!**

Today, I acquired, oh, something less than a hundred $ of new Star Wars stuff. You haven't lived until you've owned a twin-blade lightsaber. :)

Pistoff> Ack...my sympathies for your computer troubles. I'll be sure to mention it when I kill DC tonight...Hm, a guy with a very similar name to mine is on ICQ? Odd, that...especially since 'Wilek Nerus' is exactly how my name is misspelled in Avalon Mists. O_o <<But when all they do is insult you and do non-physical things, well, what can you do?>> Mess with their minds. You seem to be good at that. :)

Deuce> <<The music in The Mummy's previews is "O Verona" from the Romeo + Juliet soundtrack.>> You mean the modern remake?! AUGH! I've seen the thing a zillion times in music stores and I had no idea what was on it! THANK YOU SO MUCH! First Echoes and now this...if I need recommendations of literature or music, I know who to turn to. :) And...may I say that you have one of the kewlest RL names I've ever encountered. I hope you don't mind me naming a villain after you. :)

Aaron> <<To quote Paul Verhoven: "The nazi's simply had the best looking stuff.">> So I've noticed! I also think the Empire and the Trade Federation have kewler gear than the Rebels and the Republic. I wonder why that is...

Speaking of Star Wars and Nazis, does Emperor Palpatine remind anyone else of Adolf Hitler? I mean, he's a control nut, he's a racist, he has all kinds of weird projects and secret hideouts...they even came to power in similar ways, if my speculations about Phantom Menace are correct. <shudder> Was this deliberate, or is Hitler just a Jungian archetype of evil?

Coyote> <<I, Coyote, do solemnly confess that I was JackaL's guinea pig last night>> You know...somehow associating the concepts of Jackal and experimentation...don't ask what it conjures in my mind. :P

Glimmer> Welcome back! :D <<after your temperture hits 103 degrees you start having ideas and dreams that are so bizzare!>> I had a bizarre one recently without even being sick. This character that my mind created during a dream (a demoness of some kind, I believe) is clamoring to break into my fics. Can't find a place for her though. $Maybe in the RP, if we ever end up fighting Gothmenes...$

Jackal> Ecch, the latest questions are too revolting to answer. Ewwwwww.

Robotica> Welcome! And do allow Deuce to divest you of your sanity. You won't be needing it again. :)

SJ> <<Were you at Toys R' Us last night, getting your Jar Jar Binks action figure?>> JJ is actually one of the ones I didn't care for. I'm pretty selective, even when it comes to Star Wars. :) <<that Darth Maul figure looks awful cool...>> Tip: Instead of getting the figure by itself, get the one that comes with the weird speeder bike. It's *much* kewler. :) Oh, and BTW--your sister qualifies as one of the coolest individuals on the planet Earth right at this moment. :) $<<This plague will kill the Phalanx completely....now, simply to choose the time in which to use it....>> So it looks like my Daleks need not have bothered. Ah well, that frees up a few more for combat. :) $

$Kitainia> Err...Meowth wasn't assimilated; they only got the humans. Unless you have plans. :) In any case, they didn't get Pikachu and Paras, fortunately...$

Sylvia> <<oh, by the way, what is the guy-who-gives-all-the-bad-weather's name?>> Um...I think Mr. Disconnect does that by installing weather-control stations in secret locations all over the world. Yet another reason to kill him...speaking of which...

**DC TORMENT AND DEATH**

[Wilek stalks into his ISP with a triad cannon, to find DC working his weirdness on the mail server. Knowing what he's in for, DC runs, apparently not having learned that running from Wilek is a futile gesture. Wilek fires an energy net from the cannon, ensnaring DC. This particular net is modified to also deliver a painful and lingering electrical charge to its target, which it does. Wilek: "Care to explain why I can't get my e-mail? And why a friend of mine pretty much LOST HIS ENTIRE COMPUTER?!" DC: "Er...well..." Wilek: "Who asked you anyhow, <censored>?" Wilek switches the triad cannon to chaingun mode and shoots DC in the kneecaps, rendering him unable to walk. "Don't worry, I have a few other things I'll use on you before the night's out..." DC: "Wait! I helped the Ravens find out about Thailog's possible connections to Nightstone! Surely that counts for something!" This gives Wilek reason to hesitate. Wilek: "Alright. I'll keep it simple. THIS TIME. But no less painful. <evil laugh>" Wilek switches the cannon to flamethrower mode, shoves it down DC's throat, and slow-roasts him from the inside out. When DC is little more than a bubbling stain on the carpet, Wilek pours kerosene into what's left of him and ignites it with a flamethrower. Wilek: "OK, so I lied. Trust me, nothing you can do can convince me to go easy on you." With that, Wilek leaves.]

**END DEATH AND BEGIN RP, ALONG WITH A BIT OF INSIGHT INTO THE VARIOUS ALIEN GOVERNMENTS OF MY FICVERSE**

[Wilek receves yet another call from the Avatar Of Ganon, just as he and Argent step into line for the Haunted Mansion. "Yes? Oh, hi, Rho." Rho: "That novel you spoke of in your comments about Blood Moon? I found a match." Wilek: "What? You already scanned it?" Rho: "Yup. The tiger guy is a Khafran mercenary named Djedi Khenmuur, and his partner is a freelance cargo delivery agent--" this was a charitable euphemism for 'smuggler'-- "named Vashti Toliana. Apparently, the cover of the novel in question was designed by someone from Field Ops. I've consulted their records--it seems Khenmuur is a top-gun pilot who was kicked out of the Khafran Military Academy for, quote, 'flagrant insubordination', unquote...although the records for his commanding officer seem to suggest that he had good reason." Wilek: "Kewl. And Vashti?" Rho: "She's from Krelor. You know how hard it is to obtain records about anyone from there, ever since Empress Khmer took over the government. All I could find about her is pretty outdated, from back when Krelor was a member of the Nation Of Worlds. At the time, she was an engineering cadet in the Krelorian starfleet. Since that was a long time ago, one might assume she's rather more skilled in such matters these days." Wilek: "These two sound interesting...do you think they'll be able to help us?" Rho: "They once destroyed an Imperial defense satellite singlehandedly. They could probably take down the Avatar if they put their minds to it. I think they can help, *if* I can get in touch with them. Needless to say, they're not exactly on ICQ. Especially since they're on the wanted posters in just about every government in the galaxy. One last thing--they tend to work for the highest bidder, so guess who we don't want finding out about them." Wilek: "Jerec's so elitist that he probably wouldn't associate with them anyhow...but still, this may be a valid concern. Better start looking." Rho: "I'm already on it."]

Eating Disorderes: Nope
Manson: Is that the house or a person?
Premarital Sex: Never in a thousand years! It's wrong in my opninion. You need to be married first, and if you have sex.... well, it just needs to be done for the right reason.
Jerry Springer: ??????
KoRn: ??????????
Corn: Mmmm..Yummy ^_^

Summer: Vacation time ( when affordable), hot days, boring days, fewer thunder storms; but other wise all right.
AmAndA: Uh. . . .
Joe: Um. . .
Dezzie: Ah! My cousin! She's so sweet. . but much younger than me!
Satan: Who-boy!!!! He's bad news. He doesn't have horns, he's a man. A man who never received his physical body. He's mean and jealous and wants to make sure that we don't succeed in that which would be good for us. That's why bad things happen.
Pussy: Ah, a little kitty! ^_^
Death: A new begining someone said, and it's basically true. Our spirits don't disappear. THey are a live. And, no one dies forever. Everyone thinks that the mileniim is going to be all hell, but it won't in the end. The Second Coming won't be so bad, I promise.
Puppies: I think their so cute!
Celeb: I haven't met one, but I have a few that I like.
Pepsi/Coke: Nope, I like Dr Pepper.
Apples and Oranges: I like both.
Silver or Gold: Well, they're both pretty but I like gold.
Lucifer or Demona: Pro'lly Demona. She's fictional, but believable. Satan is just too scary.
God: I believe in him, sure. Though lately I have difficult because of family probs and depression.
Stuffed Animals: I have a li'l stuffed shark I call, Baby Face. Heh! I think he's a thresher shark. For those who don't know, Threshers are smaller sharks who dwell in the murky depths and have long canal fins (ACK!! I CAN"T REMEMBER WHAT THEY"RE CALLED!) that they use to smak their prey. Cool huh?
(I'm a shark lover. My fav shark is the Great White. They are so awesome!!!)

Ummm..... well, I think that's it. See you all around!!

T-minus 18 and a half hours and counting until I play the bestest fae of them all...

Still not much to talk about since the survey dominated today too, but I think just about everybody's gone through it now, so the room should be back to normal soon...

SJ- That Patrick Stewart was pegged for Xavier is old news. I knew that since like... January... And everyone had speculated that he was the pic LONG before that...

Attached song- Star Trek: Movie 1

Random creativity demon- Brooklyn timedances into the future, and runs into Dr. Smith of "Lost In Space" fame. First thing, he asks the man, "Didn't you used to work with a robot?"

**RP!**

(By the way, at this point, Jim's party has no apparent ending point, and guests are just coming and going randomly. SO it can be assummed for a while at least, that the party is still going, even if no one RP's on it.)

A whole montage of characters are just having an overall good time, when the guy in the Micky Mouse suit decided to play a little game on the host.
"Jim?"
"Yes?"
"Could you sing a song?"
"Sure. What would you like to hear?"
"Well, I don't remember the words exactly, but I do know the tune..."
"Okay Mickey... Hum a few bars and I'll see if I know it." The giant 6 foot mouse whistles a few notes, a look of recognition crosses Jim's face, and he begins to sing.
"This is the song that has no end... It goes on and on my friend. Iknow some people who, started singing it not knowing what it was and now they'll keep on singing it just because..." Jim's eyes go wide with terror as he enters the second verse, which is the same as the first. He's stuck in an endless loop of that stupid song now...

Meanwhile, back in New York...
DC begins to reassemble abfter being blown to smithereens by Demona. "Do you have any idea how much that stings?" He looks around to see he's been abandoned by the Ravens.
"Oooh... They said they would protect me those..." DC freezes, as he sees Lonny standing in front of him.
"Hello Dis. You've become more nuisance than helpful. Are you prepared to die permanently?"
"NO!"
"Good. Then stay loyal to me, and only me. Fear is a far better motivation than pay, don't you think?"
"Um, yes boss..."
TO BE CONTINUED!

Now that you've read my post, give me your hands if we be friends? (In other words, applaud my post...)

**RP BEGINS**

"They're on their way," Trent's keyboardist says as he hangs up the phone. "Good," says Daria. "I wonder what those Borg are doing now." The screen changes to the high school, where the Borg are searching for their escaped quarry. "Uh, no sign of Daria," says Borgis. "I, uh, guess she got away." "The boss ain't gonna like this," Todd snaps. "You know what he said, we gotta catch them all!" "Hey, we got everyone else," Butt-Borg says. "That should make Thailog happy." "We better hope so," Stewart adds, "because we're out of assimiliation nanites. Let's get the people we have assimilated back to base." Borgis and Butt-Borg nod in agreement, and they open a portal to the WD.

Meanwhile, back in New York the Ravens are dashing out of the sewer and leaping back into the Onslaught. Demona zooms up behind them using her battlesuit's rockets and fires two missiles that both hit DC. The jerk screams as he is destroyed for the umpteenth time. "That will teach you to mess with my computers, human!" Demona raves. "Now for the rest of you..." Jammer guns the motor and speeds away from her before Demona can devise a suitable punishment. "Wait!! Come back!!" "Okay," Jammer grins as they leave Nightstone far behind. "That woman needed professional help, but at least we're out of danger. I'll start heading for Tyl's apartment." "Here's the transcript of that call we got," Tricia says, handing Doug a piece of paper. He looks it over and then tells the rest of the party about what's happened in Longdale. As they begin to discuss what they should do about the Borg attack, Kitainia turns to make a CR post.

**PAUSE RP**

Hi everyone. Today was an okay day. Tiring, but a good start to the last week of classes. School is almost over. :)

Fleur: No e-mails from you in my box. Did you send some? Glad your problems are fixed, and $ very cool RP history. $ :)

**BEGIN SPOILERS/COMMENTS ON THIS WEEK'S X-FILES AND NEW TGS EP**

X-Files: This week's was pleasantly entertaining. Scully as a bimbo was an interesting twist and I liked the conspiracy plot. I also really enjoyed the Lone Gunmen's development, especially Byars' romance. Wish they would do more with that thread. Oh well, at least next week's ep looks interesting. Mulder gets abducted and then kidnaps an alien. :)

Blood Moon: This ep gets ten stars in my book. Great plot and character development on everyone. Emotions ran high all throughout the story and were shown well in the pics, especially the great ones of Maggie and Sata cradling Graeme. I could empathize with the characters all throughout the story, found myself worrying about the men when they got sick and cheering loudly and/or gnashing my teeth during the great big catfight at the end. Good development on all the women characters, and I also liked how certain threads were picked up that have been neglected lately (Matt and Sara, Lex and Liz, Coldstone's dillema over whether to go after Coldsteel or stay with the clan. Say, what's Coldsteel up to right now, anyway? I'd like to know). All in all, great job on the episode. Keep up the good work.

**SPOILERS OVER, BACK TO REPLIES**

Jackal: Ugh. <vomits> Sorry, I'm not going to answer those questions. Some of them, especially the second, gross me out too much. :(

Pistoff: A shotgun that fires 700 rpm? Now that sounds like a dangerous weapon. Is it even possible to make one of those IRL? If so, Doug is considering letting Seth (a guy in his fanfic universe who's like your Jack and Koz) make one for himself. :) And that is a great idea about how to deal with a-holes.

SJ: Patrick Stewart will play Xavier? Alright! Now the X-Men movie will be at least partly good.

DumlaoX: Plastic bag? May I know what you're talking about? (Worried about a friend.)

Okay, not much to talk about tonight. We need to get this room jumping again. Later.

**BACK TO RPING**

"Okay," Shap says as Kitainia turns back to the discussion. "We need to call Wilek. If there's anybody who can find out how to un-assimiliate those innocent people the Borg nabbed, it's him." "We need to get to Longdale fast," Doug says. "Lathrop, I believe this calls for one of your plane shift spells." "You know how dangerous those spells are, Doug," the wizard says. "We'll have to deal with the danger if we encounter it," says Kitainia. "Plane shifting to the Astral, driving a short ways, and then shifting back to this world will get us to Colorado from here in less than an hour. We have to do it to get there fast." "Can we stop by Tyl's place first?" Gubio asks. "I'm only gonna need fifteen minutes in there, tops. Then we can head for Longdale." Doug nods. "Okay. Speed things up, and you got a deal. We'll call Wilek while you work. Jammer, move this rig faster." The driver nods and increases the truck's speed, soon coming to a stop outside Tyl's apartment building. Doug grabs the phone and dials the Avatar as Gubio and Mist hop out and dash inside.

The screen changes to the interior of the World Devestator, where Guod is ranting at Borgis and Butt-Borg. "I can't believe you let that girl escape!" he yells. "She would have been so useful to us!!" "Uh, we're really sorry," Butt-Borg whines. "Yeah," Borgis adds. "It was like, uh, unavoidable, or something." "Fine," Guod rolls his eyes. "I don't know why I depend on you morons." He snaps his fingers. "Borg Team Rocket!!" "Yes?" Jesse, James, and Meowth ask in unison. "Go to Longdale and find the girl these morons let escape. Assimilate her and anyone else who tries to stop you." The three salute, say "Yes, boss!" and jump through a portal. Guod fervently hopes they succeed as the screen goes blank.

I'll attempt this again. DC killed my post last night, leading me to turn off my comp in frustration. So here goes....

****BEGIN RP*****
"If you want to get to Eisner's office," the odd creature, the man made of straw named the Scarecrow said, "I can show you the way. But, there's a catch."
SJ and Kari exchanged glances. "I see...." SJ said evenly. "What kind of catch?"
"Well, no one just *walks* into Eisner's office. There are certain...obstacles that we'll have to overcome to get there. By myself I might not be able to make it through them. But working together, we can handle anything we come across."
"Let us think about it," Kari said. She and SJ put their heads together, and quietly discussed the situation in hushed tones while Scarecrow made an effort to discourage the Hounds from mistaking him for a fire hydrant. Finally, the two heroes turned and faced Scarecrow.
"Alright," SJ said. "We'll do it. But I have just one question--why are you so interested in getting to Eisner?"
"A rumor," the straw man said calmly, a smile spreading on his burlap-sack face. "Bit of an old legend actually. I've heard that he has something in his possession that I want very badly...and I aim to take it." And with that, the odd being began to march down a previously unnoticed little path that closely resembled a yellow brick road....
Reluctantly, SJ, Kari, and the Hounds began to follow him...
****PAUSE RP FOR NOW****

Todd: Hey, I know you probably don't watch the show, but I was checking out "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" yesterday, and I couldn't help thinking of you. 'Cause the main villain was KING ARTHUR. Yep, he was a BAD GUY! He teamed up with Mab to take on Hercules and kill Merlin. Of course, by the end of the show he had "reformed his ways", but still.....I was laughing my ass off. I don't claim to know anything but the most basic Arthurian myths, but something tells me that none of them went like that! :)

Korn: It seems that most folks here don't know who Korn is. They're a band, of course, and have been called the last, best hope to bring back the ailing rock scene (which has been hurting ever since the charts have been dominated by country, rap/hip-hop, and prepackaged, manufactured pop groups like the Backstreet Boys and N*Sync). They're actually pretty good, although I must admitt, sometimes they focus too much on rap and hip hop (which, again this is personal opinion, I hate worse than country music. That's right, I hate it that much. I'd rather listen to "Garth Brooks: Double Live" than Mase or Notorious B.I.G. Sorry, Dumlao :] ) for my tastes.
But their style is growing in popularity, as can be seen with a similar, clonish band Limp Bizkit. They even toured with Rob Zombie for a while, so they *must* be cool. Click on my name to go to their official fan site.

Gooch: Yes, I have seen Evil Dead 2. And the possessed hand bit was MUCH funnier; plus, the hand wasn't the entire focus of the movie, as is Idle Hands. Besides, ED 2 had Bruce Campbell in it, so it was already much cooler ;)
Oh, and by the way, "The Rock" is on ABC tonight...

Doug: Dezzie. Up the Girl. As in "Dizzy Up the Girl", the latest album by the Goo Goo Dolls.

Good news X-Men fans: The latest rumors are that Patrick Stewart has promised to play Charles Xavier in the live-action X-Men movie, set to begin filming this summer!

All Star Wars Geeks: Were you at Toys R' Us last night, getting your Jar Jar Binks action figure? That's kind of sad though. I mean, I'm a Star Wars freak, but even I wouldn't show up at midnight just to buy one of those toys....although that Darth Maul figure looks awful cool....

Amended Survey Questions:
Have you ever met any celebrities? Yes, a few pro wrasslers. Mainly Raven and Saturn of WCW fame, who were pretty cool. And a lot bigger in person. But...
But my sister has met (and sometimes been a friend of): Matthew Lillard, Dana Delaney, Keri Russell [She worked as a production assistant on a movie they all did, "The Curve", in video stores, NOW! GO RENT IT!!!]; also, Keanu Reeves (she swears he's not gay), Samuel L. Jackson (who really IS the God of Coolness, and a downright nice guy), the cast of NewsRadio, Tom Selleck, numerous Baltimore Orioles (including Cal Ripken Jr. and Brady Anderson), numerous Washington Capitals (including Olie the Goalie and Peter Bondra), Tom Cruise (who she claims was a big prick), probably more that I'm forgetting, and in my all-time favorite celebrity tale, she was...um, propositioned....by a drunken Lee Majors (The Fall Guy, the Six Million Dollar Man), who asked her to come up to his hotel room and "share a cheeseburger". Sorry if I sound like I'm bragging, but I'm proud of her....and okay, I live vicariously through her sometimes ;)

****RESUME RP*****
Anton Sevarius is still trapped inside the Phalanx-controlled Sphinx in Egypt, being forced to work on a virus that would facillitate the total assimilation of the human race by the Phalanx....
But now, Sevarius has something infinitely more valuable.
"Finally!" he whispered to himself, smiling as he held up a small vial of amber colored liquid. He quickly pocketed the cylinder, however, when a Phalanx drone approached him.
<<Prime wants more progress on the virus,>> the drone said emotionlessly. <<Remember, Doctor, you are expendable. If you do not create the virus soon, we will simply assimilate you, and glean what knowledge we can from your mind.>>
"I'm working as hard as I can," Sevarius spat back. "I'll have your virus soon enough." The drone watched him for a moment longer, deciding whether or not to further antagonize the geneticist. Finally, it simply marched off to take care of other business.
Sevarius produced the vial once again. "Damn Phalanx. They think they can order me around....enslave me and assimilate all of humanity....but only I will decide mankind's fate, not them. And with this, I hold the fate of their race." Sevarius smiled evilly. "This plague will kill the Phalanx completely....now, simply to choose the time in which to use it...."
*****END RP FOR NOW****

Hi ya'll,
How is U? okay, okay, weird mood, ah well, that's just me.
Survey> I'll answer it later, Promise. :-)

Okay, do any of you remember when we were finding songs that reminded us of Gargoyles? Well, I found another one that I am pretty sure has not been mentioned. In the movie Romeo & Juliet, (yeah, the one w/Leonardo DiCaprio), at the beginning before it starts is the song "When Doves Cry"<-I think thats what it is called-> anyway, it totally sounds like what was going through Angela's head in that one EP when she was thinking if she was more like Demona or Goliath.

*****Spoiler Alert, Spoiler Alert (red lights start flashing)*********************************************
The pictures were great, the plot was great, the character usage was great! What else can I say? Five thumbs up! (if I had that many)
**** Red lights go off and CR goes back to normal****
anything else? I don't know, I'll be back tomorrow, oh, by the way, what is the guy-who-gives-all-the-bad-weather's name? I really want to kill him for the weather we had in Colorado during the weekend-Thanks

*RP*
The TV turns itself on to show the Onslaught headed for Longdale, Colarado. Gubio, who has been checking the web for information on Fleur's weapons, steps up to Doug.
"Did you know who Fleur really was?" he asks. Doug frowns at him.
"What do you mean?" Gubio opens his laptop. There is a large picture of Fleur, dressed in a long ceremonial dress and lots of shiny decorations. Her eyes are glowing golden. Beside it are pictures of her blade and her sword.
"According to this, her name's Gian-val-tra. Whoever posted this site claims she stole these two priceless 'religious artefacts', and anyone with information will be greatly rewarded." Gubio explains, "But this web site has a very unusual source. Outer space. Whoever's after Fleur aren't even from Earth, Doug."

Being there was a link up to the archives, I thought I'd go check some stuff out and "reflect" I'd guess you say...., Damn it! My buddy just signed off!! Anyway, did yall know my very first post had something to do with sex, the FIRST one!! So, I took time to actually READ my own posts...., I'm weird!!! What the hell was I talking about?!?? I'm a crack monkey..., CRACK MONKEY!!! Listen to what I said one time, "It would be as funny as seeing the Pope pushing everyone down beside him, break out a microphone, and start singing, "I'm a bitch, I'm a lover..." What was I on?!? though that IS funny...

3 more random questions, if you don't mind...
1. Is it wrong to tell (in a pleasant voice), your 1 year old daughter, "No sweety, you won't f***in eat it, that's why you're not gettin none."?
2. Is it wrong to ask your close female friend if you can lick her piercings..., ALL of them?
3. You know that ant in "A Bug's Life", what was his name, Flick, Flynt..., whatever..., do you think he got with the girl he wanted?

Coyote, Thank you for being my lab rat!! Hey, yall thank him too, if it wasn't for him I would've asked all about Aborition...., would that have been a pretty sight? And I left out the Murder question too! I think it's fun learning about basic things people do and think.

I can't believe soo many of you have said No to drigs..., I mean drugs. Should I be proud or scared?
Eminem- That boy's nutz! "I didn't mean to give you mushrooms girl, I didn't mean to bring to my world!" Ohh yeah, and that other song.., I'm gonna kill my ex to call the media and blame "Slim Shady" for it..., not that I've planned it or nothing..., "Just the two of uss...." ::Evil crackhead laugh::

I can't believe soo many of you have said No to drigs..., I mean drugs. Should I be proud or scared?
Eminem- That boy's nutz! "I didn't mean to give you mushrooms girl, I didn't mean to bring to my world!" Ohh yeah, and that other song.., I'm gonna kill my ex to call the media and blame "Slim Shady" for it..., not that I've planned it or nothing..., "Just the two of uss...." ::Evil crackhead laugh::

**Glimmer pops into CR**
Is it safe to come in now?

It's been such a long time since I posted in here. The last time I came in for a visit, Sli Sludge followed me home.:(
I had a nasty case of the flu for four flippin days.
Bright side: after your temperture hits 103 degrees you start having ideas and dreams that are so bizzare! I've got ten new crossovers running around in my brain and I don't even write fanfic.
Okay, so now I'm done with the flu and wouldn't ya know it- a sinus inffection. So I start swallowing antibiotics.
The inffection cleared up and I finished writing the summary for Kathy, but I lost her email address. Before I have a chance to find it, my sister deleted the file!! It took a long time to write because I included dates that were imortant to the Hopi and quotes about different cerimonies. This is the same time the room started going haywire. By the time the room was back up the local phone lines went down. Garg withdrawl... ugh!
To top it all I was offered a very cushy job(dirrectly from the boss)in my field of interest, but I can't snatch the offer because I have no way to get to downtown Vegas.

**A giant fireball appears behind Glimmer, as she turns to stare Goliath emerges. "Fate is conspirering against you."
"I think I figured that out sometime around the sinus inffection," Glimmer sighs,"I hope May is better."**

Kathy> I've started to re-write the summary for you but it's going to take awhile. I did find a copy of Hopi Indian Artist for sale online... for $105. If you want to purchase books about Hopi/Navajo/Zuni history and culture go to indianpueblo.com to purchase dirrectly from the reservation. The tribes approve of any books they sell.

X-files> Vegas baby!

I'll take the survey later, I have to catch up on my reading first.

I'll be back to comment on the stories tomorrow.

Reposting my survey comments from last night ... they came close to the wipe, might not have been seen, but I have some additions, too.

**steps into the room, switches out the candles, pauses for a moment to reflect on its flame in a very Zen manner, then sits down in the big chair**

I've been pretty blankety-blankin' busy this week, not a lot of time to get in here. Oh well, time to do some replies.

Gooch: Yeah, that *is* pretty coincidental. Also pretty coincidental ... a couple weeks after "By the Grace of Oberon" was posted, Christopher Cross' first single since the '80s was released. The title? "Walking in Avalon."

Baby Fey: Thanks for posting that article. By the way ... in addition to the message I already asked you to pass along, could you let Ravyn know that we all miss her a lot. And I miss her even more ... **sighs**

Mary Flanders: Oh, what a touching story you have ... **sniffles** I'm certainly glad you were able to work it out somewhat. I wish I'd had something like Gargs when I was at that age, it would have made me a much happier person, I think. I hope you have become a happier person for your experience. **hugs**

Survey time ... and for all those interested, **stands up** I, Coyote, do solemnly confess that I was JackaL's guinea pig last night (he had me fill it out over IM last night). Some of my answers have changed since last night, dude.

Name: Don Alexander Martinez. Once again, no jokes about the initials, I've heard them all. :)
Nickname: Only the one I have taken upon myself -- Coyote the Bando
Birthdate: September 27th.
Location: Algonac, Michigan
Height: 6' even
Weight: A little over 300 lbs. Take an NFL offensive lineman, shrink him about 5 inches, and you have me. :)

oooPotentially offensive materials ahead.ooo
Do you have any pets? Living/Dead? I have four furfoots making my life interesting ... two dogs and two cats.
What time is it right now? 8:11pm EDT
What CD is in your CD Player right now? South Park: Chef Aid.
CD you last bought/stole: Bought ID4 Soundtrack.
Last movie you rented: Well ... I haven't rented anything in a while since the local vid store closed up shop. If you count vids I've bought, the last one would be "Slayers" Volume #4-8.
Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend? I think my recent history in the CR should answer this question effectively. **contemplates the candle's flame, sighs, and continues.**
Favorite songs that mean the MOST to you right now: Two of 'em. #1: "Looking Through Your Eyes," LeeAnn Rimes. Reason being a line from it sent by Ravyn a couple months ago ... "We can't stop what we have begun." **sighs again**
#2: "I'll Be There," the Four Tops. Not only because I have a love for classic Motown, but because it's a really powerful set of lyrics. Say, that gives me an idea ...
Do you smoke? I sucked in enough secondhand smoke from my mother to make me smell like a pack-a-day smoker, but otherwise I'm clean. (She's quit, incidentally. Got too expensive.)
Drugs? Negatory, pilgrim.
Is COPS a spectator sport? Not all the time ...

What do you think of ...
Eating disorders: Wish they didn't exist.
Marilyn Manson: No opinion.
Premarital sex: If you mean have I done it, **nods** yes. If you mean if I have an opinion of it ... usually in a situation where it would come up, I'm never thinking clearly.
Jerry Springer: Antichrist #6.
KoRn: Haven't listened to them much.
Corn: I *am* the cob. :)

When you hear this, what do you think of?
Summer: Donna
Amanda: Baker (fellow bando in high school. Don't know where she went to, though.)
Joe: DiMaggio
Dezzie: Hunh?
Satan: "And now I will go back to Hell a much richer Prince of Darkness and invest in some real estate." -- from South Park.
Pussy: Willow
Death: Destruction
Puppies: Don't let my manager have 'em. :)

Have you ever met any celebrities? Yes ... Bruce Campbell, Hudson Leick, Robert Picardo, Kate Mulgrew, Terry Farrell ... hell, I even got shoved aside by the Secret Service making way for former President Gerald Ford. :)
Do you have any stuffed animals, and do you have sexual relations with them? Uhmmmm ... no.

Either/or ...
Pepsi or Coke: Pepsi whenever available.
Apples or Oranges: Actually, I prefer pears.
Dead or dying? Dying ... at least there's one last spark of life.
Boys or girls? Girls.
Silver or gold? Gold.
Lucifer or Demona? By a longshot, DEMONA!!

Favorite name for a girl or boy? Girl: Rose and all of its derivatives (Rosa, Roseanne, Rosanna, et al.), Boy: Uhmm ... let me get back to you on that one.
What do you think of the song "Pretty Fly White Guy?": Never heard it.
What time is it NOW? 8:35pm EDT
Do you believe in God? Yes.
Does he believe in you? Far be it for me to speak for the Almighty. :)
Where am I? Somewhere north of Neptune on the sanity scale, I think.
Did you know if you think about what's REALLY happening during sex, you can gross yourself out? No. Because it doesn't. It takes a *hell* of a lot to gross me out.
Do you think you're sexy, in your honest opinion? Honestly, I think if anyone tells me I'm sexy, they should have their head examined. Though my ex told me I was ... I think it might have to do with the answer to the question after next.
Do you think I'm sexy? No comment.
What is sexy, anyway? Sexiness is an attitude. To me, romanticism is sexy.
Are you glad this survey is over? Yes. **wipes sweat from brow**
oooEnd potentially offensive materials.ooo

*L* If ya missed it ... on Dateline NBC, Teller (of Penn and Teller) finally spoke on camera! Only problem? The reporter had compared him to Marcel Marceau, to which he reacted, "F**k you!" *L harder*

Something even funnier ... Detroit is having an animal control problem. Seems there's a loose pack of ... COYOTES!! Arh-Arh-AAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

**composes self**

Sorry. But it seems too weird ... who in the *hell* ever heard of coyotes in Detroit?! (Besides me, that is. ;)

Jenniren: "Shadows and Memories" is my own fic (G:CM Volume #5.). Click on my name link, it'll take you to it on my site. Basically the bulk of it is a flashback Rosanna has to eight years prior, when her mother (Elisa) died. Though it might be easier to understand if you read the first four before it ... it'll explain why, for instance, Goliath is near death and why Rosanna and Goliath don't get along as well as they ought to.

**plants hand in chin and sighs, fixating on ... you guessed it ... the candle's flame. More intensely than usual this night.**

Sorry for the double post, but in my half-awake Monday state I missed a few things.

Deuce> << "Amanda, light of my life, fate should have made you a better man’s wife!" >> Gaaaahhh! It's that SONG again! Noooo!!

And some stuff I left out of the survey:
Apples or oranges: Apples.
Pepsi or Coke: Coke.
Met any celebrities: I'm not awake. Greg Weisman is about it.

It's 4:15. The heck with Info Tech, I'm going back to my room and working on my papers.

I quote the last lines of that satire:
"That's not the most important rule;
When your PC acts like a fool
Unless you're staff or faculty
It never helps to call IT."

*Arianna appears!*
Hi, all! It's been quite a long time, hasn't it. RL is not fun. Not at all. But that's why we have CRs.

Now to catch up on way too much stuff that I managed to miss...

Littleton> I thought it was profoundly disturbing. My school had a student-planned prayer service for everyone involved. I offered to help, so I ended up playing the flute. I was a mess for most of the service, and most of that day.

Enough of the depressing stuff. Jackal's survey (modified because I have very little time)

Aaron wanders in, still wearing his trenchcoat.

I love rain. Any excuse to drag my coat back out.

Anyway, I've finished slogging through the weekend's posts, so here goes...

JackaL> I'd kinda like to live somewhere where everyone was required to own a gun.

Zath> I knew someone else had to have read S,G,&E. I loved that book. Sort of Douglas Adams does Bladerunner. And I bet Gant would have thought the gargoyles were neat.

Gyre> What would tempt Elisa? Normalacy. Watch High Noon. She's halfway tempted to let Demona have the guys, so she can have her life back the way it was before that fateful night in 94. Of course, she doesn't, but.... I smell alternate universe fic here.

Wilek> I think the music you're referring to is "Carmina Barona" Someone who knows more about classical music will have to tell you who it's by. It is used for a *lot* of trailers, because when they put out the trailer, the film music's usually not written yet.

Gooch> Right on! The nazis were definatly evil f**ks, but they had great uniforms. To quote Paul Verhoven: "The nazi's simply had the best looking stuff."

And the JackaL survey...

Name: Aaron
Nickname: None
Born: 1/7/80, a day that will live in infamy
Reside: San Antonio
Height: 5'6''
Weight: 123. Think Renton in Trainspotting, only moreso.
Pets: One cat. Which one of us is the pet may be debatable, though.
Time: 11:30 a.m. CST
CD player: Don't have a lot of CDs. I prefer tapes.
Last CD bought: "Bad News" by Bad News. Great CD, from a strange band. Think the Young Ones do Spinal Tap.
Last movie rented: Evangelion: Neon Genesis. Dubbed version. Too bad to watch.
Possible objectionable.....

Girlfriend: No. Maybe someday, but I'm not holding my breath. The odds of finding someone who'd put up with me are pretty long.
Fave songs that mean the most to me right now: Hmmm. Queen's "Save Me"
Smoke: No, but I must look like I do. People're always trying to bum lights, smokes, etc.
Drugs: Can't afford 'em, and don't see the appeal of most of them.
COPS as a sport: I'll get back to you.
Eating disorders: Does living on caffine and Pringals count?
Marilyn Manson: Brilliant businessman. I hope he does a single called "Kill your teachers" and does a concert in Littleton.
Premaritial Sex: Since I have a dim view of marriage anyway, go for it.
Jerry Springer: Another brilliant businessman.

Satan: KoRn & The Dust Brothers
Pussy: Chicken.

Dead or dying: Dead.
Boys or Girls: Hang with either, or neither.
Silver or gold: Titanium.
Lucifer or Demona: C'mon. Demona. Though Lucifer from The Sandman was pretty cool. And he's got his own limited series from DC/Vertigo right now.
Fave names, boy/girl: Loki/Scheherazade. If I can ever finish my fics, and get them posted, it'll make sense.
Pretty Fly for A White Guy: I'm not.(pretty fly, that is)
Time now: 11:54 a.m. CST
Believe in God: I do believe in some kind of higher power. I mean, something's got to be out to get me.
Does he believe in you: Ask him.
Where am I: Work. Slow day.
Did I hear that: I didn't hear that noise. I didn't hear that noise either. I'm gettin' outta here, it's too quiet.
Grossed out by sex: I thought that was the point of those lectures we had in Jr. High, to make us so grossed out, we wouldn't want to do it.
Am I sexy: Not in a million years.
Do I think you're sexy: Compared to what?
What is sexy anyway: Demona, Juliette Lewis, Lynn Dawson(Don't ask), and Sean Connery, the ultimate male.
Am I glad this survey's over: Yeah, cause now I can go read Blood Moon.

Later, people.

Deuce: Couldn't agree more. I gave up worrying about what people think of me a long time ago, since people will pass judgement on you as soon as they see you, no matter what you say or do. That's the great thing about the internet and these comment rooms in particular: you can't see what anybody looks like, so you can concentrate on what people say. You have to get to know somebody in order to figure out whether you like him/her or not. That's definitely worth the $20 I pay every month for internet access. :)

Reusing music for trailers: The most over-used music I've noticed in movie trailers is "Bishop's Countdown" from Aliens. For a while I heard it so many times that it got stuck in my mind and wouldn't go away. Not that I minded; it's a helluva lot better than some of the stuff that gets stuck in my mind nowadays. For instance, at work they always have the radio going, and they play the same damn songs six times a day ... except when they start playing older stuff, and that's even worse. There are few things I hate more than going to work in the morning and hearing the B-52s' "Love Shack" playing on the radio ... and of course I keep hearing it in the back of my mind all day. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

LAST WEEK'S POSTS:

Another survey? I'll answer that one later. I'm so tired right now....

Robby> You're playing Puck! Congratulations! Break a limb!

Mandi> ["..I know this is off topic, and I'm really sorry..."] There's NOTHING off-topic here. You know that. :-)

Wilek> The music in The Mummy's previews is "O Verona" from the Romeo + Juliet soundtrack. Fox loves reusing it for their trailers. I love the song too; actually lived and breathed it for a couple months as I tried to deconstruct it into a MIDI. Never worked.

Hmm... guess I'll be busy at lunch with the survey... seeya'll then!

Greetings, all. My first real post in a couple of weeks, mostly because I was locked out for a while...
******* COMMENTS ON "BLOOD MOON" *******
One of the best episodes this season. A girls' night out sort of thing... pretty cool. :-) I liked seeing so many characters in one episode, and thought it was handled very well. The plot kept moving, didn't really slow down, and added to several story "plot-points" (if they can be called that) in the series: Coldfire and Coldstone, Brooklyn and Sata's Timedancing, the uneasy alliance between Demona and the Clan, the relationship between Demona and Angela, Matt and Sara, Lex and Liz, the Mutates, and a bunch of stuff about the Unseelie! That's a lot for one episode, but like I said before, I think it's handled very well. Some things aren't as obvious as others, but I think I can see the hints (or maybe I just read into things a little too deeply sometimes). Good action scenes and illustrations too. You all did a fantastic job on this one.
******* END COMMENTS ON "BLOOD MOON" *******

JackaL's survey: I think I'll answer it later. Sort of tired right now from not sleeping. I think it's good to get to know one's friends better. Some of my friends and I circulated a survey via email for that purpose.

Aside from that, nothing else for me to post. Except that I'll be doing a site in a few days or so. Gotta work in my HTML programming again.

**Pistoff crashes through the ceiling and plows into the floor, and is buried by debris. His mangled body remains sprawled there for several seconds, then begins to move, dislocated joints popping back into place. He stands, dusts himself off, twists his head and his neck crackles a couple of times ... then he smiles and suddenly throws his hands up in the air.**

That was GREAT!!!

Ahem. Well, now that the grand entrance is out of the way ...

It's been one of those weeks. I almost posted in here a couple of times, but I was paranoid about the CRs going down again, and it turns out I was right. Since they've stayed up for a few days, I decided to take a chance.

Why has it been one of those weeks? Well, in addition to being unable to get my nightly CR fix, I got screwed by another of the local car dealerships. I was trying to buy a car and the sales guy told me he would call the finance company on Monday and arrange a deal. Monday afternoon I went back to the dealership to check on the progress. The guy said they still hadn't returned his call. I've been screwed so many times by the dealerships here, I decided to check on it myself, and I called the finance company. Turns out the sales guy had never called them in the first place. So I went back to the dealership to tell the guy off. He tried to act as if it was all a misunderstanding and said, "C'mon, let's go into my office and work this out."

As if I would trust him after what I'd just found out. I told him I wouldn't trust him with a burned-out match. As a parting shot, as I was walking back to my piece of crap truck, I said to him, "The next time you decide to f**k somebody ... KISS HIM FIRST!!"

Ah, that was so cathartic. :)

Did it end there? Oh, hell no. The very next night, my computer died. I'm not sure what happened, but I suspect it was the CIH virus. The thing only had 8 megs of RAM, and the antivirus program took up too much memory to run properly ... and it slowed everything down to the point where it would take ten minutes to load a web page ... so having the antivirus stuff didn't do any good. At least the computer lasted long enough for me to make up-to-date copies of my stories and stuff, then it crapped out completely.

After throwing a very long tantrum, I went out and got a new computer. Now, here's where the irony kicks in. My old, crappy Pentium 100 cost me $1,300. The new one is a Compaq Presario with a 350 MHz processor, 32 megs of RAM, and a 56 k modem ... and it only cost $599. The speakers are huge, too. When I play Duke Nukem, the gunshots and howls of agony and sickening SPLAT! sounds are just soooooo satisfying!

**sigh** Now all I have to do is ... **shudders** ... pay for the new computer. AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Looks like I'll be skipping a few meals to make the payments. But damn it, it's worth it.

Wilek: Something really odd happened last night. I did an ICQ search, using your first name, to see if you had ICQ (dunno why I never thought of that before; must be losing brains cells from being exposed to all those stupid customers), and I found three entries for the same guy ... a guy named Wilek Nerus. I didn't even notice the missing "E" in the last name at the time. I said to myself, "Cool! Wilek's got ICQ!" I added him to my contact list and sent him a message ("Hi!"). A while later he went online and asked who I was. This puzzled me, so I introduced myself. He told me that he'd never even heard of Station 8. I had the wrong guy. I apologized and removed him from my contact list. I'm still feeling kinda tripped-out over the whole thing.

It'll take me a while to catch up on everything I've missed over the last week or so, but I did notice all the talk about Littleton. So here comes my two-cents ...

I can certainly understand that kind of rage. When I was growing up, I was the one kid in the entire school who got the living crap beat out of him almost every day, just because I wasn't like everybody else. Basically, I was a geek. One of the things that didn't help was the fact that "Revenge of the Nerds" was playing on HBO when I was in 6th grade. And I didn't even have taped glasses (I wore glasses, but not horn-rimmed or taped) or a pocket protector, for chrissake! But the physical abuse was nothing compared to the constant teasing. If somebody hits you, you can hit 'em back. No problem. But when all they do is insult you and do non-physical things, well, what can you do? If you hit 'em, you just end up taking all the heat yourself. The teachers wouldn't lift a finger to stop it. Even my parents just told me to ignore them. Well, how do you ignore somebody who hits you with spitwads for a solid hour? How do you ignore constant verbal taunts? That wears you down after a while. Somewhere around the end of 8th grade I finally popped a rivet and worked one of my tormentors over with a baseball bat. And then ... well, everybody here has seen what an asshole I turned out to be. ;)

Thing is, walking into a school and mowing everybody down isn't a real bright idea. At least I handled my attackers by using methods that couldn't be traced directly back to me. Most of my counterattacks were psychological rather than physical, which works even better. If you can get a copy of your bully's car key, you can sneak out to the lot and move his car one or two spaces to either side. When he comes back out he'll know something's wrong, but he won't be able to quite pin it down. Do that for a few days, then one day move his car a dozen spaces away. By this point he'll think that he's the one who parked it there. After a few more days, move his car to the opposite side of the parking lot. And a few days later, drive it down the street and leave it in somebody's driveway ....

Well, you get the picture. There are far better ways to deal with bullies than just blowing them away.

And, finally, the trenchcoat thing: I wear one myself. It's one of the only things that keeps me from getting mugged when I deliver pizzas. People are gonna wonder if you've got something under there--especially if you walk around with one hand in the pocket at all times--so they'll be less likely to mess with you.

Besides, I gotta have someplace to hide the shotgun and cattle prod ...

Anti-Unseelie weapons (or in this case, anti-fae weapons): Well, I'm working on a story now in which Jack Hammer uses a six-barrel assault shotgun that fires 700 rounds per minute ... and it's loaded with flechette rounds. It can put 20 iron darts into a target the size of a trashcan lid from a distance of 300 yards. Looks like Oberon's gonna have some problems ....

And, finally, for Jack Hammer fans: Click my name and see where Jack found his car ....

**RP HERE, READ IT IF YOU WANT TO!**

The display lights up with the interior of the Onslaught's trailer, where DC has just broken into the Nightstone computers. "Okay!" he laughs. "Take this!!" In one grand keystroke the jerk crashes all the Nightstone security systems, maniacally laughing as he then begins sending in viruses and kill programs. Mist and Tricia look at each other and roll their eyes. The phone next to DC suddenly begins ringing. "What's that?" asks the lady biker Fauline. "Our hotline," says Tricia. "Agent Ripowski made us install it for reports of Thailog's forces' activity. I guess it's still working even though the government cut us off." She picks up the phone. "Hello? What? Okay, where are you? Longdale, Colorado? And they've assimilated innocent people? Uh oh. Okay, we'll be there in about an hour. Sit tight. Thanks for calling us. Bye." She hangs up and looks at the others. "Guod's Borg have attacked a high school in Colorado, and some people are hiding from them. We need to get down there now and check things out." "Okay," says Cobra. "I'll go tell Doug." He hops down into the sewer.

Meanwhile, Doug and the others have easily penetrated the Nightstone subbasement area, thanks to DC disabling the security locks, guard robots, and alarms. Gubio is now seated at the mainframe computer, looking for info on Thailog. "Found something!" he calls out. "It looks like somebody has a secret backdoor into the Nighstone financial and R&D databases. It's linked to a computer elsewhere. Give me a few minutes to track it down." "Okay," Doug nods. As he and the others stand guard, Doug then turns to make a post.

**PAUSE RP**

Hello again. Glad the room was cleared early. Good news, the writers' block is cured. I'm now up to the second flashback of "Dragon's Game," Jadriel's first experiences at the Academy and his meetings with some other bad dragons. Will write their characters tomorrow, it should be fun. :)

Jackal: Okay, in that case, GIRLS. Happy now?

Stickman: Fanfic comics? Sounds interesting. I may e-mail you some of my fics for it. First, though, I want to see the job you do on Kittens. Quality is important, you know? :)

Steve Gooch: <nods> You're very right about the media. In my fanfic, Gary Parker represents the reporters who will all take the easy way out and go for sensationalism. Nikki is the sort who cares more about the unbiased truth. I too wonder where Traveler is, hope he comes back and/or sends me my feedback soon. I'm getting worried about the guy. :(

Argent, Robby: Good luck in your plays.

**BEGIN SPOILER-FILLED COMMENTS ON NEW EP**

This episode was one of the best I've seen all season. Great job on developing all the characters, especially the women. I liked their reactions to the evil Unseelie spell and found myself cheering loudly throughout the battle in which they kicked Unseelie ass. Especially enjoyed seeing Maggie take down Sekhmet and Sata fight Anath (who is a cool new villainess, but does she use a battle axe or spears? In the first scene with her, she has the axe but she has the spears later. Is either or both her weapon?). Also liked the scene with Matt and Sara and the mutate and clone development. Coldstone and Coldfire's fight was also good, glad they're now fully committed to staying with the clan.

The pics were also excellent, especially the ones of Maggie and Sata holding Graeme. Great emotion in them, and the colors were used well.

Hmm, so Madoc has stripped New York nearly bare of magic and is now a year away from completing his plans? Okay, the waiting game should end soon. I'll be very interested to see the action intensifying in episodes to come. Overall, this episode had a great plot, action, and character development. All these things combined give it 9/10 stars, thumbs way up. Keep doing the good work, TGS Staff!

**END SPOILERS, BACK TO REPLIES**

TRC: Hope you get your feedback to me soon. I'm very interested in reading it. Are you still having e-mail problems?

Okay, guess that's all for now. Not much to talk about tonight. Later, ppl!

**BEGIN 2ND HALF OF RP**

"Here we go," Gubio says as Doug finishes. "The link goes to an ISDN line running straight to the Manhattan residence of a Tyler K. Jensen. Aka Tyl36009, Thailog's hacker! It looks like we're gonna have to raid that place." "Okay," says Kitainia. "Now we know where Thailog got a lot of his technology, Nightstone's R&D is on the cutting edge in that field. I bet once we raid Tyl's apartment, we can find the location of Thailog's secret base." "The apartment is number 2224, 41st street," Gubio says. "Let's go!" Doug nods and the Ravens turn back toward the exit. Just then the wall crashes down, revealing Dominique Destine in a heavy black battlesuit and about twenty Nightstone security guards. "So you are the humans who dare to break into my company and take down my computers!" Demona roars at the party. "Prepare to die!!" "Uh, run!!" Doug orders. The Ravens begin to do so, bullets and missiles from Demona and her guards chasing them out.

The team keeps running, making it to the sewers with their enemies in hot pursuit. "Whoa!" Cobra screams as they nearly bowl him over. "I take it you guys triggered the alarm!" "Yeah," Boris says as they reach the manhole. "We gotta get out of here now." "Tell me about it. There's a situation in Longdale, Colorado. Guod's Borg attacked a high school." "Looks like we may have to suspend our trip to Tyl's apartment," Doug says as he tosses a stun grenade at their pursuers and knock them down. "In any case, let's get out of here!" They scurry up the ladder and leap back into the Onslaught as the screen goes blank. To be continued.

**THE RP AND POST ARE ENDED, GO IN PEACE :)**

TRC: That's okay, read the fic whenever you have time. And yes, I've met both of Kitainia's parents. They both like me a lot. :)

Okay, off to read the new episode.

Greetings one greetings all . Hope you've been keeping well in my absence , I would have been back sooner but it's exam time again , ironically the time I also become most creative in my drawings , and I have to start buckling down and convert one or two "Not a Chance" subjects into probables .

I'm behind in the CR so It'll take me awhile to catch up .

At any rate .

**DC DEATH (I intend to make this savage cause the SOB earned it this time and I'm NOT KIDDING )**
TRC enters the CR , his eyes have gone black and the muscles inhis jaw are locked , he looks around the room and spots DC .He then strides up behind DC and spins him around to face him . DC has an alarmed look on his face and tries to say something in his defense but TRC cuts him off first , TRC -"You crossed the line this time man , such behaviour I will not tolerate ." his voice cold and with a shiver of anticipation , DC is about to voice a protest when TRC brandishes a spiked mace and hammers it into his mouth , he then proceeds to pound away at his face causing gurgling screams to emmanate from his crushed voice box ; knee caps fingers , toes and _all_ other exposed digits are crushed and impaled . He then picks up the body before it can reanimate and ties it up over a bamboo shoot that has been cut at an angle so as to give a sharp tip , he then sits down and eats popcorn while watching the the shoot slowly grow and impale the revived DC over the next few hours . Savouring the feeling DC's screams gave TRC . He later removes the shoot from the body and again waits for DC to recover . He then takes a large , extremely sharp chisel and proceeds to scrape away at DC's ribs , arms , thighs , skull and any other smooth section of bone available , taping very utterance that manages to make it out of DC's mouth for later remixing . After a few hours of this slow process TRC pulls out the chisel and returns to the CR .
**END DC DEATH (these are all real tortures with the exception of the first one by the way )**

If the above was too graphic please let me know , I do'nt intend to do it again _ever_ but Id liike to make sure I hav'nt broken any rules even though think I gave sufficient warning and so am posting it regardless .

Littleton : Everything I think has already been said , but despite that here are my $0.02 . Honestly , I think those children were sick , but instead of receiving help they were exposed to situations that worsened their condition . The fallout of the events are even worse , the further isolation and oppression of those who operate differently and the eye of suspicion turning to those who spend time on the net and game is only feeding gasoline to the flames . The media is just sccapegoating for the parents , "No it's not your popular pretty golden haired angel who has been putting down , fighting against , isolating and putting down the kind of people who do this , its the horrible darkness obsessed psycopaths we allow into our schools " . I have to take a few minutes from this , my bile is starting to rise .
Here it's a bit harder to discern one group from another since at the schools I've attended uniforms were mandatory , (besides no one is stupid enough to wear black trenchcoats in tropical weather ) all the same I feel they're rather stylish . There are seperate groups of students _naturally_ and the differences are apparent only in manner , there's even a guy in my group who gets on our nerves all the time , but I/we refuse to shun him because he tries too hard . Call me stupid , egotistical or a complete and total @$$ if you want (although I would expect better of you all) but I much prefer that system than the one up there in some installations I've read about (I do think I'm too inexperienced with foreign school systems to really have a proper understanding so consider this a snap judgement) . Just wanted to express my view on this .

Question on Garg physiology - Can anyone tell me the constant physival features in all gargoyles , I'm drawing 2 well , actually one I finished the first , and the second is of a more human appearance (eg. - Angela , Brianna ) , and am having trouble remembering all the specifics , so far I've got :
Wings , Brow ridges , knee spikes , 4 digits per hand , 4 per foot , Tail , Wing "fingers" .

What I'm uncertain about is :
Presence of forehead as in distance between brow ridges and hairline and , was it just my imagination or the art style , did Goliath have one muscle across his chest .

Any help at all would be _Very_ welcome .

Jackal : Thanks for the laughs man , I literally fell off my chair laughing at a some of your stuff .

Doug : I have'nt read the new story you wrote yet but I'll get around to it , I'll read it at the same time as the stories I owe you feedback for since I do'nt remember the stuff I thought needed improvement off the top of my head . Kitainia has met both of your parents now if I remember correctly , have you met hers ?

Doug/Kitainia : Congratulations on the good first impression with Doug's Father . I always thought of it as the most important one .

Gathering : The . . . . voice . . . . .of . . .Lexington . . . .will be . . . . present .
DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMNNNNN .
I really hope the gathering I make it to will be as impressive .

Steve : Ahh my naval intelligence obsessed friend , those Submarine RP's were funny as hell .

** HAZARD SPOILER**
I really loved this one , everything i have to say about it is cliched and so I will omit them , I must say though , I would have loved to see Goliath go "Happy Gilmore" on the clown hole .
**END SPOILER**

Christine : What kind of Garg work do you accept in Avalon Mists and when is the deadline again .

Anyway , I've gotten that all off my chest . See you around fellow oddities , you're far from rid of me yet .
